"The world's most vicious criminal!! The Leader of the Revolutionary Army!! Monkey D. Dragon!!!"
Aramaki shouted exaggeratedly. As the former high-ranking sheriff of the Taya Kingdom, Aramaki had heard more of the infamous reputations of the Revolutionary Army leaders than the Four Emperors.
After all, the Revolutionary Army could very well appear anywhere in the Four Blues, right beside them, and overthrow their monarchy.
The Four Emperors' pirate crews almost never leave the New World and appear in the Four Blues.
Therefore, the kings of the various Affiliated Nation were even more wary of the Revolutionary Army than of pirates.
"The world's most dangerous criminal?"
Yi Xiao and Spaden's expressions changed, and they immediately became wary of Dragon.
After all, the Revolutionary Army's target is usually the king of the Affiliated Nation.
Could this Leader of the Revolutionary Army be plotting to assassinate His Wang Shi?
With this in mind, all three of them focused their murderous intent on Dragon.
No one can harm His Majesty the Wang Shi!
If the Revolutionary Army wants to overthrow the rule of the Goa Empire, they'll have to step over their corpses first.
As for Tyrant Kuma, Shichibukai, he is at least a legitimate pirate under the World Government, so there's no need to concern ourselves with him.
Dragon saw the Kuma and the three Marquess facing off, but the Marquess' murderous intent was immediately directed at him.
This made Dragon's face darken; he had clearly done nothing.
However, it's good that we were able to rescue our good friend, Kuma.
The news that Kuma has become Shichibukai has not yet been officially announced.
Even Dragon was unaware that Kuma had become Shichibukai.
"Marquess Issho, Marquess Spaden, any ideas? If we capture this Leader of the Revolutionary Army, we're sure to be promoted to Imperial Duke!!"
Aramaki licked his lips, a glint of shrewdness in his eyes.
"And you, Tyrant Kuma! You're now Shichibukai under the World Government's command! Quickly help us capture the world's most heinous criminal!!"
"Once we've dealt with this guy, you can test our strength however you like, and we'll ensure you successfully complete the World Government's mission."
Aramaki's eyes grew increasingly crazed. With the four of them working together, they were certain they could take down Dragon, the Leader of the Revolutionary Army who had appeared alone.
Kuma's lips twitched. If this guy knew his relationship with Dragon, he wouldn't have made such a stupid request.
"You've become Shichibukai?"
Dragon's eyes narrowed, filled with disbelief.
Several years ago, Kuma left the Revolutionary Army because of Bonney's terminal illness, Dragon didn't say anything.
He later revealed information about Vegapunk to Kuma.
Now, Kuma has joined the World Government and become Shichibukai, which is like a knife to Dragon's back.
"Yes."
Kuma spoke expressionlessly; for Bonney's sake, he had no other choice.
Bonney's treatment has now reached a critical stage, and he cannot refuse any request from Vegapunk and Saint Saturn.
When Bonney was five years old, Kuma discovered that Bonney had the incurable disease, Sapphire Scale Disease. In order to take care of Bonney, he had to leave the Revolutionary Army and desperately search for a doctor for Bonney.
When Bonney was six years old, King Bekori reappeared and wanted to burn down the southern part of the Sorbet Kingdom. Enraged, the Kuma launched a one-man revolution, drove out King Bekori, and became the new king himself.
But soon, King Bekori reappeared with his navy, and the Kuma once again defeated King Bekori and his navy ships.
Following King Bekori's complaint to the World Government, Kuma became a wanted criminal and was dubbed a tyrant.
To avoid implicating Bonney and the country, Kuma quickly handed over the throne to the former King Bulldog and went to sea to become a pirate. He also searched for a renowned doctor for Bonney, visiting many islands along the way.
When Bonney was a little over eight years old, about half a year ago, Kuma received news of Vegapunk from Dragon and took Bonney to Egghead for medical treatment.
Vegapunk's treatment required a lot of money and time, so Kuma initially agreed to Vegapunk's Pacifista plan.
As a result, their contact was discovered by the Five Elders, Saint Saturn, Saint Saturn then threatened to make him Shichibukai and force him to undergo a memory-erasing modification.
For Bonney's sake, the Kuma agreed to all her requests.
Once this mission is completed, he can return to Egghead and bring Bonney, who has been undergoing cell transplant treatment for more than half a year, back to the Sorbet Kingdom to recuperate, while he continues to carry out missions for the World Government.
During her treatment, Kuma, along with Vegapunk, Kizaru, Sentomaru, celebrated Bonney's 9th birthday.
Bonney's birthday is September 1st.
It's already the end of the year, and the New Year is approaching. Zoro has already celebrated his 17th birthday on November 11th.
According to Vegapunk, Bonney will be able to safely celebrate her 10th birthday and be fully recovered once she returns to the Sorbet Kingdom to recuperate for a year or two.
···
After receiving confirmation from the Kuma, Dragon fell silent.
"You two actually know each other?"
"By the way, the Revolutionary Army's predecessor, the Freedom Fighters, did indeed attack the Sorbet Kingdom!"
Aramaki looked back and forth between Dragon and Kuma; there seemed to be some incredible secret between the two.
The plan to unite with the Shichibukai to deal with the Leader of the Revolutionary Army seemed to have instantly failed.
"Dragon, what is your purpose in coming to the Goa Empire!"
With a slow smile, he spoke. Although he did not agree with the Revolutionary Army's ideology, he still admired this man who dared to openly oppose the Celestial Dragons.
"My hometown is in Goa, I'm just going back for a visit."
Dragon had no intention of fighting the three Marquess; he was merely drawn here by the battle.
"You're actually a citizen of the Goa Empire?"
"Then why don't you call me Marquess properly!"
Aramaki immediately shouted, looking at Dragon with great interest.
"Roar!"
With a roar like a lion, everyone looked up at the sky.
"Dragon, you almost killed me last time, and now you're here to join the fun again?!"
Wang Shi's cold voice rang out, instantly chilling the atmosphere.
Upon hearing that their emperor had a grudge against Dragon, Aramaki and Spaden immediately went into berserk mode, ready to charge at Dragon at any moment.
Yi Xiao was equally prepared, a purple aura spreading outwards.
It seems that Dragon, the Leader of the Revolutionary Army, has already made a move against His Wang Shi.
Even a good emperor like His Majesty the Wang Shi was overthrown; it seems the Revolutionary Army isn't all that great either.
The Kuma teleported away from its original spot and appeared not far from both sides.
While seemingly neutral, their positions have already shifted towards Dragon's side.
It seems that he still chose the Revolutionary Army the Shichibukai.
"Your Wang Shi, didn't you also take advantage of me to Awakening your Conqueror's Haki?"
Dragon looked at Wang Shi riding on the Kirin Lion Wang Shi being frightened at all, and stared at Wang Shi with a solemn expression as his strength increased dramatically.
This emperor's power and the influence around him have expanded far too quickly!
Even if he couldn't defeat the One Emperor and Three Marquesses, no one could stop him.
He is the freest wind in the world!
"Your Wang Shi, at the request of the World Government, I wish to test your Exile Power."
When Kuma saw that Wang Shi and the others were about to attack Dragon, he quickly spoke up to distract them and secretly gave Dragon a look, telling this old buddy who was meddling in the fun to leave quickly.
He was willing to risk being exiled and killed just to ensure the safe evacuation of Dragon.
