Three Months

"It seems that this prestige and treasure are not easy to obtain." Teach looked at the intelligence report compiled by the intelligence agency and couldn't help but sigh. The development of events was within his expectations.

However, the Revolutionary Army's losses were somewhat beyond their expectations. Despite Revolutionary Army formidable strength, they had lost at least half of their forces under the combined attack of the World Government and the Navy.

"Taking too big a step will always lead to all sorts of problems; it's unavoidable." Rediat chuckled. Now that the Revolutionary Army's situation had been exposed, he could easily see the problems within it.

"This is also beneficial to the Revolutionary Army; by identifying problems early, they can be resolved as soon as possible."

"But the World Government is really patient. If it weren't for this incident, they might have planned to go to a certain point and wipe out the Revolutionary Army in one fell swoop."

"Well, there are gains and losses, but overall it's still a win."

Three months have passed since the Mary Geoise incident.

The Revolutionary Army had not anticipated that the World Government's retaliatory actions would be so swift and intense.

News from around the world was almost entirely dominated by the World Government's war against the Revolutionary Army.

The World Economic News has devoted most of its energy and intelligence to this area.

Every day or two, we see a hidden base of the Revolutionary Army destroyed by the World Government and wiped out by the Navy, with approximately how many Revolutionary Army were killed.

The Revolutionary Army's rapid growth in recent years has led to internal instability and significant vulnerabilities, allowing numerous World Government agents to infiltrate the Revolutionary Army.

It has remained hidden, lying dormant.

Perhaps the confrontation with the World Government gave many Revolutionary Army confidence, but this confidence was somewhat blind, and they gradually lost their vigilance, exposing many of their forces and bases.

In reality, the gap between the two sides is huge. When the World Government stops hiding, a large number of internal traitors will deliver a fatal blow to them.

The World Government, like a venomous snake, has been lurking, preparing to hunt down the Revolutionary Army as its prey.

The Navy and the World Government mobilized to encircle and suppress the exposed Revolutionary Army.

Of course, there is another purpose, which is to demonstrate the power of the World Government and to intimidate this sea. The Revolutionary Army cannot quell the anger of the World Government and the Celestial Dragons without paying a price.

Similarly, Affiliated Nation also need to be deterred, to let them know that the World Government has the power to protect them, so that they can hand over the Heavenly Gold with peace of mind.

A large number of the Revolutionary Army members were killed as a result, and the base areas they had established over a long period of time were destroyed.

This answer, delivered with blood and tears, thoroughly awakened the Revolutionary Army. They were still unable to confront the World Government head-on, and the gap in strength remained significant.

The leak of intelligence, in particular, made everyone in the Revolutionary Army feel insecure and the entire organization unstable, because there were a large number of spies from the World Government within their ranks. No one knew whether the comrade they had just spoken to was an enemy.

The Revolutionary Army lost nearly 90% of its bases along the Grand Line, as well as some bases in the East China Sea.

Especially on the Red Line, in just three months, the Revolutionary Army had disappeared from the public eye, hiding entirely in the shadows, and had suffered countless casualties.

The internal members are of varying quality, and the drawbacks of rapid development in recent years are very obvious. Many of them are ordinary people and do not have a firm revolutionary spirit.

Once captured by the World Government and interrogated, a great deal of intelligence was leaked.

Therefore, the Revolutionary Army is in a very bad situation now, with revolutionary fighters sacrificing their lives every moment, both internally and externally.

These were difficult days; under immense pressure, the Revolutionary Army had no choice but to hide underground to survive.

And this continued for a period of time. Under the orders of the World Government, the Navy even ignored the pirates and dispatched most of its forces to eliminate the Revolutionary Army's exposed forces.

This situation will continue for some time. The World Government is determined to eliminate the Revolutionary Army's forces and drive them completely underground.

The World Government's targeting of the Revolutionary Army has made it impossible to sell the Celestial Dragons' treasures that appeared in the Underworld.

Even though various forces in the Underworld are unwilling to take on these treasures of dubious origin, the World Government is undoubtedly a giant in the Underworld as well, so offending the World Government for this is not worth it at all.

Moreover, the World Government is in a state of rage and has a huge presence. They're afraid there won't be any chickens for them to kill, and nobody wants to be that chicken.

As soon as these treasures appeared, the World Government knew that the Revolutionary Army was about to make a move.

Therefore, the Revolutionary Army not only gained nothing, but the World Government also ruthlessly robbed them of a considerable amount of treasure.

The Revolutionary Army has no allies and can only rely on itself. Shifting its power underground, stabilizing morale, and eliminating World Government spies are all tasks they must undertake.

The Revolutionary Army today seems to have suddenly reverted to what it was just a few years ago, with years of effort rendered futile, making it even worse than it was years ago.

The unrest among the people made it impossible to complete many things efficiently. Dragon had not expected that the Revolutionary Army had been so thoroughly infiltrated by the World Government, with both the upper and lower levels becoming lax.

This would be absolutely fatal for any organization. If, in a few more years, cadres emerged from the upper echelons, the fate of the Revolutionary Army would be sealed.

Fortunately, the problem was exposed early, allowing for timely intervention, and there were no World Government spies among the core members.

This was also a fortunate thing for the Revolutionary Army.

The situation on the sea is so unpredictable. Just when it seemed that the Revolutionary Army had risen to power, it was defeated and brought back to its original state by the overwhelming power of the World Government.

The World Government remains the World Government; even though it has weakened somewhat, it is still the World's Strongest.

The Revolutionary Army is far from being a match for the World Government, both in terms of strength and foundation.

However, the World Government also incurred huge costs. Wars are all about money. Naval operations and army operations, just the cost of weapons and food alone, amounted to a huge number of Beli.

In three months, the World Government's reserves were almost completely depleted, and the fiscal deficit was considerable. They even exchanged a lot of Celestial Dragons' treasures for Beli to maintain operations.

The Revolutionary Army's resistance was also strong, and the World Government suffered considerable losses, especially those agents who were infiltrated within the Revolutionary Army and sent out on missions.

The number of World Government agents has been greatly reduced. After the Golden Sea Battle, the four seas were divided, and a large number of agents were killed or even directly broke away from the control of the World Government.

The training of special agents was also put on hold, and although it has recovered somewhat, it is now on a much smaller scale.

Subsequent operations resulted in significant losses, which were a drain on the World Government's resources, greatly weakening it.

Overall, it was a resounding victory.

The reason for paying such a high price is mainly because the Reverie is about to begin, and the World Government will receive a new round of Heavenly Gold.

With the Heavenly Gold, the World Government can continue to operate, and it can also be used as leverage to increase its share of the Heavenly Gold.

After all, the most dangerous period for the World Government and the Navy has passed, so they can naturally take a tougher stance.

However, things are no longer possible as they were before. The Affiliated Nation hold the lifeline of the World Government, and if they unite, they can cause the World Government to fall apart.

To cut costs and increase revenue, the World Government is now looking for ways to make money. Just as the Navy is trying to reduce its over-reliance on the World Government's military spending, the World Government is also trying to reduce its dependence on Heavenly Gold.

But that's impossible. The World Government originally owned the Red Line, which housed one-tenth of the world's population and generated substantial tax revenue each year.

However, the World Government messed it up, causing economic collapse, wealth plunder, and population loss. More than half of the population migrated to the four seas, and people continued to leave the Red Line through the four "ladders to heaven," so the population will only decrease in the future.

To restore the world to its normal state, the World Government would need to invest a huge amount of money, and there would be no return for a long time.

They wouldn't do that, since they don't even have enough money to spend themselves, so why would they invest in it, even though it would be more beneficial in the long run.

The World Government originally possessed a vast amount of industry, as it needed to establish bases around the world. However, after the Golden Sea Battle, its influence in the four seas was basically wiped out, with only a few remnants remaining. These industries were either destroyed or swallowed up by other forces.

To weather the storm, most of the remaining stock was sold off, which undoubtedly resulted in losses, but at that time, there was no other way.

Today, the World Government is undoubtedly thinking about making money from Beli. Whether it's supporting Novoya or Doflamingo, the World Government will get a share of the profits.

Although Doflamingo is in the New World, without the support of the World Government, his power would not have grown so quickly, and his development on the Grand Line has been paved with smooth sailing.

At the same time, the World Government is also a newly emerging arms giant, profiting from the sale of arms.

However, there are too many competitors, and they don't offer high-end products, thus occupying a portion of the global arms trade.

To be honest, the World Government and Doflamingo are still business rivals. Doflamingo wants to expand in the Grand Line, while the World Government's base is in the Grand Line.

The World Government has a greater advantage Doflamingo in terms of development along the Grand Line, which is what angers Doflamingo about the World Government's ungrateful behavior.

But he had no choice; he still needed the rights and privileges granted by the World Government. Only in this way could he operate in both the legitimate and criminal worlds and rapidly expand his influence.

The only thing we can do is support the development of the Revolutionary Army.

Other powers dare not take the World Government's treasures, but he does, and he has his own ways of selling them.

Doflamingo has now become the dark king of the New World, and even the entire world, and is the most powerful one. Dressrosa has become a transit point for supplies in the Underworld.

With his power and influence, countless forces are willing to cooperate with Doflamingo and are becoming increasingly dependent on him. Through this relationship, he binds himself to various forces and combines their interests.

Just like the Brotherhood, the turmoil within the Brotherhood stabilized within a few months because of its vested interests with various factions. As one of the Brotherhood's "shareholders," they did not want to see the Brotherhood fall.

Similarly, Hott's powerful tactics and decisive actions led to Doflamingo seizing a portion of the profits in the New World arms trade, and Doflamingo successfully became a "shareholder" of the Brotherhood.

Compared to the Brotherhood, Doflamingo's network of interests is much larger, spanning the entire world. Now, he has surpassed them and is a significant dark ruler in the New World.

The Donquixote Family's power is many times greater than in the original story. In addition to Doflamingo's own increased strength, they have many powerful members under their protection. With their strong strength, benefits, and personal charisma, they have recruited many pirates, and many of their members have bounties exceeding 100 million.

The Donquixote Family, represented by Doflamingo, is now a rising dominant force in the New World.

Doflamingo dared not relax; the pressure was immense. There were too many powerful figures in the New World: the five Sea Emperors, numerous sea overlords, and a large number of pirates vying for the position of overlord, or even the Emperor.

Dressrosa is located near the central part of the New World, a border area between many powers, and the enormous profits it contains will naturally attract envy. If a large number of merchant ships are robbed, it will definitely be a loss for Doflamingo himself.

Without overwhelming strength, it would be impossible to suppress these vicious pirates.

With his extensive global network of connections, Doflamingo has a way of disposing of these treasures without the World Government's knowledge.

Besides, who knows what treasures were stolen from the World Government? It's all just the World Government's story.

Such practices have become abhorrent and have even disrupted the order of the Underworld.

After a while, the World Government won't dare to do that anymore. Doflamingo sees this very clearly, but he's dealing with it slowly, which might take a while.

During this period, a large portion of the wealth acquired by the Revolutionary Army fell into Doflamingo's hands through transactions involving Beli, arms, and even provisions.

Moreover, these items were sold at high prices, and Doflamingo made a fortune. After all, right now, the Revolutionary Army lacks nothing but money.

The sooner the Revolutionary Army recovers, the happier he will be, because the greater the loss to the World Government. In other words, as long as he is alive, he will continue to support the development of the Revolutionary Army and continue to target the World Government.

Other things also happened during this time.

With the New World's power structure stabilizing, the Red-Haired Pirates left the New World.

On the Grand Line, a World Government warship guarded by CP9 unexpectedly encountered the Red-Haired Pirates, who had left the New World. The Red-Haired Pirates were defeated, and a Devil Fruit fell into their hands.

That CP0 member was punished by the World Government for openly betraying them and has fled to the World Government New World to escape their pursuit.

The Red-Haired Pirates went to the East Blue.

This intelligence also fell into Teach's hands. The wheels of history keep turning; some things have changed, and some things haven't, so it had no impact on the Night Pirates.

In contrast, Teach is more focused on improving his strength. He is still not strong enough, and there is a gap between him and Whitebeard, as well as a significant gap between him and Bullet. It is foreseeable that he will be in the same situation as Shiki.

In the mountains of Foosha Village in the East China Sea, a freckled child watches battle videos at night and fights wild beasts in the deep mountains during the day.

In the Kingdom of Goa, the boy with short, golden hair diligently hones his skills while learning knowledge and etiquette, leading a fulfilling life that is not as unpleasant as before.

With the changes in the kingdom, his parents also changed a lot. They were no longer so strict with him and even supported his ideas. Strength became more important in the world.

In particular, the downfall of a large number of nobles and the birth of new nobles showed that nobles needed power in addition to rights.

He has now demonstrated formidable combat talent and is the most dazzling figure in the Kingdom of Goa academy.

He wanted to work with his brother to change the country and protect more people.

As a high-ranking nobleman of the Kingdom of Goa, the current king is old and has only one daughter. After he chose this path, his younger brother became the marriage partner of the family and the royal family, and is also the future king of the Kingdom of Goa.

The demands placed on him naturally shifted to his younger brother, and he broke free from those constraints, becoming even more free.

This child named Sabo will surely shine with his own unique brilliance.
