"Sure enough, it was him!"
A fierce glint flashed in Kong's eyes. Although Dragon had betrayed the Marines after the Ohara incident, he had still served under Kong when he first joined.
Kong knew that face extremely well.
"You actually dared to appear in the Holy Land?! As expected of the Revolutionary Army's leader—so brazen!"
After his initial shock, Bald Zero did not hesitate. His feet tapped silently against the ground in rapid succession, and he seemed to "drift" like a phantom to the space between Dragon and the main gate, cutting off his retreat.
"But this ends here!"
In front of him stood Marine Fleet Admiral Akainu. Behind him stood CP0 director Zero. In the distance, the Holy Land's commander-in-chief, Steel Bone Kong, sat in the rear with his arms folded...
With this lineup, even Kaido would not come away unscathed, let alone Dragon. And above them, Ron—the World's Strongest—watched him calmly.
Yet Dragon showed no fear. Hearing that, he shook his head. "The Revolutionary Army's leader would naturally not appear here. I'm merely an officer now."
Then Dragon laughed openly. "That young man Sabo is far more reliable than I am."
Only then did everyone remember that Dragon had long ceased to be the Revolutionary Army's leader.
From the day he was captured, the Revolutionary Army had been left leaderless. As chief of staff, Sabo had taken over as leader. Not only had he stabilized the wavering Revolutionary Army, but he had even infiltrated Impel Down while the Marines were fighting abroad and rescued Dragon.
As Dragon said, the Revolutionary Army's leader would not appear here. What kind of foolish decision would that be? The Revolutionary Army could not afford to lose.
Now, he was merely one of the Revolutionary Army's officers, as well as its spiritual symbol.
