The next morning, the shocking news spread throughout the world.

"The Burning Holy Land!"

"The Revolutionary Army that liberates slaves!"

Firsthand information from the World Economic News provides a clear picture of what exactly happened last night.

The entire Holy Land appeared to have been transformed into a sea of fire; the clear photographs are unbelievable.

That's the headquarters of the World Government, the residence of the Celestial Dragons, the Celestial Dragons, and it's been invaded!

The invading force turned out to be the Revolutionary Army.

The Revolutionary Army's goal was to liberate the slaves.

Through this invasion, almost all of the Celestial Dragons' Celestial Dragons were freed.

In a short time, the Revolutionary Army's momentum surged, and it gained countless supporters.

The liberation of slaves was a great thing, but it also directly challenged the authority of the World Government and caused chaos in the Holy Land Mary Geoise.

Conversely, the fire not only humiliated the World Government but also brought it a disgrace.

Meanwhile, according to intelligence from the World Economic News, in addition to burning down the Holy Land and freeing all the slaves, the Revolutionary Army also plundered the Celestial Dragons' treasury.

The Celestial Dragons had a huge amount of wealth stolen by the Revolutionary Army, estimated to be at least hundreds of billions of Beli.

Most people abhorred the slave trade, but due to the existence of the Celestial Dragons, no one dared to oppose it.

Gradually, the slave trade, though an illegal industry, became legal with the backing of the World Government.

The weakening of the World Government's influence, coupled with the shocking impact of this action, led to a surge of ideas for the emancipation of slaves across the globe.

Dragon, who led the Revolutionary Army in this invasion of the Holy Land and was also the mastermind, now has another title. "Leader of the Slave Emancipation Movement!"

A large number of slaves, numbering seventy to eighty thousand.

So many slaves were freed, including members of every race in the world.

Undoubtedly, as the Revolutionary Army develops its reputation in a positive direction, it will also gain the friendship of these races, who were the biggest victims of the slave trade.

Humans, due to their sheer numbers, are somewhat insignificant, while members of these special races, due to their small numbers and the favoritism of the Celestial Dragons, suffer greatly from the harm of the slave trade.

Having their compatriots rescued, the Revolutionary Army is undoubtedly easier to trust than the World Government.

The entire newspaper was filled with news about this incident, Fisher Tiger naturally appeared as well, but his limelight was overshadowed, with only a photo appearing in the corner of the newspaper.

But this also made Fisher Tiger famous, turning him into a hero of Fish-Man Island.

However, although he was less prominent, his invasion of the World Government is an undeniable fact, and many of his Fish-Man slaves were the Celestial Dragons' beloved playthings.

Fisher Tiger was immediately wanted for 180 million Beli and unable to return to Fish-Man Island.

On one side, one of the Revolutionary Army's bases, the Revolutionary Army members and the rescued slaves were sent to this island.

The Revolutionary Army's vast power began to operate, sending slaves who wanted to return home back to their hometowns, while those who were left homeless voluntarily joined the Revolutionary Army and became its members.

The Revolutionary Army rescued them, and they were naturally moved to tears. Even though many people did not want to join the Revolutionary Army to fight against the World Government, a quarter of the slaves were still willing to join.

Since the World Government is unlikely to abandon them and may even capture them again, it's better to join the Revolutionary Army and receive their protection.

Moreover, they feel not only fear but also intense hatred for the World Government, especially the Celestial Dragons, and want to oppose World Government. After all, some of them have nothing left, so they might as well join the Revolutionary Army to realize their life's pursuit.

With nearly 20,000 men, including many skilled fighters, the Revolutionary Army's strength was greatly enhanced. Of course, the biggest gain was the change in its reputation.

And a vast amount of treasure, which, if all of it were converted into Beli, would be enough for the Revolutionary Army to grow rapidly for many years.

However, it's not time to celebrate yet; they are about to face the most direct wrath of the World Government.

Two Marine Admiral and tens of thousands of elite naval troops were dispatched to the Red Line to cooperate with the World Government and the Army in a thorough purge of the Revolutionary Army on the Red Line.

The occurrence of such a major event made the World Government feel the crisis; the Holy Land was no longer safe. If the Revolutionary Army could invade once, they could invade twice as well.

All of this is because the Revolutionary Army has established a base on the Red Line, which allows them to invade the Holy Land Red Line.

Therefore, the World Government is taking this seriously and is determined to completely expel the Revolutionary Army from the Red Line and restore World Government rule.

At the same time, we should intensify our intelligence gathering on the Revolutionary Army. Since some members of the Revolutionary Army have come out into the open, their intelligence is easier to detect. Once it is detected, the Revolutionary Army will face elimination by the World Government.

In addition, the Revolutionary Army's rapid development has made the World Government wary, necessitating a thorough crackdown.

In terms of fundamental strength, the Revolutionary Army is far inferior to the World Government. If they were to actually clash with the World Government, they would inevitably suffer a crushing defeat.

One can imagine that the Revolutionary Army would have to live with their tails between their legs for some time to come.

In addition to expelling the Revolutionary Army, the World Government plans to strengthen the defenses of the Holy Land to prevent such an incident from happening again.

The Marine Headquarters was instructed to station an Admiral at the Holy Land. Although Kuzan and his men arrived quickly, they were not timely enough, as the Revolutionary Army had already begun their withdrawal by the time they arrived.

This world-shaking news continues to spread, with some finding it unbelievable and others laughing at the World Government. Of course, the Revolutionary Army's reputation soared, gaining an aura of glory.

In the Sabaody Archipelago, Novoya listened to the news, leaning back on the sofa, his gaze deep and thoughtful. "What a sin!"

As he spoke, a smile played on Novoya's lips. He was pleased with the news, as he had always been strongly opposed to the slave trade.

The Celestial Dragons possess a total of 80,000 slaves, which is an enormous number.

However, Novoya didn't think much of it. Since he came to Sabaody Archipelago to take up his post, he had calculated that the number of slaves purchased by the Celestial Dragons in Sabaody Archipelago, as well as the number of slaves transported to the Holy Land by human traffickers under the protection of the Celestial Dragons, totaled more than 200,000.

This doesn't even include the original number of slaves the Celestial Dragons had. In other words, the 80,000 slaves figure is based on the premise that a large number of slaves were tortured to death by the Celestial Dragons.

Many more slaves had already died at the hands of the Celestial Dragons, which is why Novoya called it a sin.

Most ordinary slaves cannot survive a month in the hands of the Celestial Dragons. Those who can endure for a year are absolutely determined and may even be "valued" by the Celestial Dragons.

Just like Fisher Tiger, he immediately offered a reward for finding the item after it was lost.

Novoya did not restrict the slave trade in the Sabaody Archipelago. Due to his indulgence and the Celestial Dragons' huge demand for slaves, there were a large number of slave trading groups in the Sabaody Archipelago, both large and small.

A slave trading firm that specializes in buying and selling slaves.

What happens to the Sabaody Archipelago is none of his concern. As long as things remain stable, he won't care about anything else. On the contrary, the more drastic the Celestial Dragons' methods become, the more people will resist and oppose them.

Therefore, if Novoya doesn't take control, he's only making things worse. As long as the Celestial Dragons aren't stupid enough to treat him as a slave, nothing else matters.

Even if some people secretly fear that he is a lackey of the World Government, or even a lackey of the Celestial Dragons.

After all, every time the Celestial Dragons travel to the Sabaody Archipelago to play, buy slaves, or participate in auctions, Novoya leads the Navy to protect their safety and prevent any accidents.

The Celestial Dragons have even done many foolish things, and Novoya has always been the one to clean up their messes.

Meanwhile, the World Government is growing closer to Novoya and even has the idea of recruiting him.

Conversely, he has been largely excluded from the political core of the Marine Headquarters. Although he has not made any mistakes, few high-ranking naval officers are willing to contact him.

Even with Kake, they only maintained a superficial relationship. After all, he was also a hoodlum who frequented entertainment venues, while Novoya had special privileges at various entertainment venues in the Sabaody Archipelago, commonly known as "VIPs."

Their relationship was neither good nor bad, at least not to the point that some high-ranking officers at the Marine Headquarters disliked them.

Novoya's actions had absolutely nothing to do with justice in their eyes.

The collusion with various forces revealed enormous profits, making even the marines under Novoya's command extremely wealthy.

The more this happens, the more uncomfortable they become; in other words, they are jealous and envious.

I want to be like Novoya, but I don't have Novoya's abilities. Even if I had the qualifications, I wouldn't dare to do it.

Unlike Novoya, whose actions are all out in the open, and whose "Justice as one pleases" is visible to everyone who enters his office, they wouldn't dare to do that.

Moreover, the Marine Headquarters did not want this trend in Novoya to spread; after all, Novoya was special.

His immense potential and strength, coupled with being invited to join the Navy during a special period, made him a key figure in this endeavor.

However, with his strength and achievements, plus the support of the World Government, he's destined to become Marine Vice Admiral. In a few years, he'll be able to be promoted to Marine Vice Admiral, and Novoya doesn't even dare to dream of going any further.

Moreover, he did not come away empty-handed. He gained the Celestial Dragons' approval and took control of the Sabaody Archipelago. Even if he went to other places in the future, he would still be able to continuously gain benefits from the Sabaody Archipelago and exert influence remotely.

He even received a reward from the Celestial Dragons: two Devil Fruits. Countless people envied him for these two Zoan Devil Fruits, which he directly gave to his two trusted confidants, who were also spies sent by the Night Pirates. Naturally, they could be trusted.

Even in the Sabaody Archipelago, through various connections, Novoya obtained two Devil Fruits, which he then bestowed upon his trusted subordinates.

Novoya has no shortage of money, so naturally he wants to increase the strength of his own forces, and the increase in his own forces will also increase the strength of the Night Pirates.

The number of marines under his command alone is as high as five thousand.

As for which of his subordinates were sent by the Marine Headquarters to monitor him, Novoya knew very well. There might be others hidden in secret, but none of them could cause any trouble under his overwhelming power. After all, he had more trusted confidants, and they were stronger.

Once it's time to act, we can take them down immediately.

It's easy to imagine that he'll be busy in the days to come. The Celestial Dragons have lost a large number of slaves and naturally need to replenish them. Most of the slaves have been rescued by the Revolutionary Army, and even if the Navy is sent out to search, not many can be found.

Fisher Tiger, Fish-Man- Fisher Tiger, formed the Sun Pirates with the people he rescued. They developed a sun-like mark that concealed the Celestial Dragons' Celestial Hoof.

The Fish-Man's superior swimming ability meant that the navy would have a hard time capturing them, even if they sent Marine Vice Admiral.

Moreover, the Sun Pirates are not weak; they are among the strongest pirate crews in the Grand Line.

Fisher Tiger's immense strength, along with thousands of Fish-Man warriors, meant that even the Navy dared not confront him head-on, only giving him a token pursuit.

With Novoya in the Sabaody Archipelago, it's very safe. A large number of Celestial Dragons will definitely come here, requiring a significant replenishment of slaves.

Even as the news spread, slave traders anticipated this situation and used their connections to transport large numbers of slaves to the Sabaody Archipelago.

With the Celestial Dragons as their wealthy benefactors, they can make a fortune from this.

The incident at the Holy Land was a great thing for many people, except for the World Government. The Celestial Dragons were already disliked, and countless people were secretly cheering them on. Many pirates were excitedly holding banquets.

Even slave traders wished for more of this to happen.

Novoya was already prepared to welcome the Celestial Dragons.

With the flames of revolution being lit, recruiting members for the Revolutionary Army has become much easier.

Their members mainly come from the Red Line and the Grand Line. As for the four seas, without the pressure from the heavens and with the threat of pirates reduced, people's lives have improved and they have hope for the future. So why would they follow the Revolutionary Army to rebel against the World Government?

Even if the World Government is now weakened.

Similarly, the Revolutionary Army mainly trains its own members, from orphans. Revolutionary Army trained in this way are more trustworthy and do not require time to withdraw from the ranks.

On the Red Line, for example, many members are hidden agents of the World Government, causing them considerable trouble. For the World Government, they don't need to obtain any important intelligence; they only need to know the whereabouts of the Revolutionary Army.

Especially now, facing the massive army dispatched by the World Government, the Revolutionary Army is simply unable to resist. While a large number of agents have been exposed, many Revolutionary Army have been captured and killed by the World Government, causing them significant losses.

The World Government has cultivated and accumulated a large number of agents over the years, and has also planted many agents on the Red Line in recent years. Exposing even a portion of them is enough to deal a heavy blow to the Revolutionary Army, especially to the Revolutionary Army's forces on the Red Line.

They had originally planned to eliminate Revolutionary Army once and for all after getting close to its core members, but now that this has happened, the World Government has had enough and has directly exposed some of its agents.

"Baboons! It seems it won't be long before you're brought down from your pedestals!" In Dressrosa, Doflamingo received the news immediately, and while surprised, he laughed excitedly.

His goal has never changed, but he was somewhat surprised to find that the World Government has been on the decline in recent years, especially after the Golden Sea Battle.

Although the World Government did not suffer significant losses in this operation, and the Celestial Dragons, as Celestial Dragons, were unharmed, the World Government's prestige has been weakened once again.

With the division of the four seas and the weakening of its control over the world, the legitimacy of the World Government declined significantly in a short period of time, while the reputation of the Revolutionary Army rose, shifting from negative to positive.

The Revolutionary Army and the World Government will begin a face-to-face confrontation.

Although the Revolutionary Army's power is still not comparable to that of the World Government, this trend has already emerged.

Due to the changes in the four seas, the space for the Revolutionary Army to develop is constantly decreasing. Therefore, the focus of the Revolutionary Army's development is on the Red Line and the Grand Line, areas controlled by the World Government.

Whether on the Red Line or the Grand Line, the Revolutionary Army will always clash with the World Government.

Doflamingo's power is growing rapidly. Through his own means, the name "Joker" has become extremely well-known in the Underworld, making him the largest intermediary in the Underworld, and he sells weapons all over the world.

Doflamingo also secretly supports the Revolutionary Army, and the weapons they use are basically all from Doflamingo. As for other more advanced weapons, the Revolutionary Army cannot afford them and cannot purchase them in large quantities.

Now that they have plundered the Celestial Dragons' wealth, it is believed that the Revolutionary Army will purchase a large amount of weaponry, especially in their confrontation with the World Government. Doflamingo is already prepared and has mobilized a large amount of weaponry to supply the Revolutionary Army.

This was a big business opportunity for him, and the Revolutionary Army was an important customer.

Whether for personal gain or for his own goals, he will provide support.

After all, the Revolutionary Army dared not purchase weapons openly. The various kingdoms and the World Government restricted them, so they had to buy food and weapons secretly, and even at a premium.

The only one who can provide them with a large amount of weaponry is Doflamingo. Without weapons, they cannot resist the World Government, since most of the Revolutionary Army's fighters are ordinary people.

Even in this era, with the Six Powers spread throughout the world and everyone able to learn them, it is impossible to master them without long-term dedicated practice and a sufficient supply of energy.

The full impact of the Six Powers on the world will take several more years to fully unfold.

"Flying Pirates, give me a surprise! Baboon, baboon, baboon!" As if he had thought of something, Doflamingo couldn't hide his excitement, his fingers twisting into a strange shape, and a red moon was reflected in the sky behind his red sunglasses.
