The Setup
Upon hearing this, Long shook his head. "The World Government and the Navy aren't fools. Even if you manage to tie down some of their forces, they can't just sit idly by and let the Four Seas fall into the hands of the Revolutionary Army. Most importantly, even if they take over the Four Seas, I don't have enough manpower to hold them!"
Moke pondered for a moment, "Then let's concentrate our forces and take over Wano Country. As long as I control Wano Country, the Seastone will never again be in the hands of the Navy. At that time, as long as we seize the opportunity, we can destroy those dozen or so warships that have already loaded their hulls with Seastone. Then they will lose the ability to directly support the Four Seas from the Calm Belt."
"At that time, you just need to guard the entrance, and the navy won't be able to take it."
"The Four Seas have always been the World Government's stronghold and its largest source of revenue... By taking control of one of them, you've cut off a major source of their income. While you're growing stronger, you're also causing the World Government significant losses."
Upon hearing this, the dragon fell silent.
He wasn't unmoved by the allure of the Four Seas, but the Four Seas were the lifeblood of the World Government. In their eyes, they were far more important Koby the New World, a highly unstable sea teeming with pirates.
It's safe to say that whoever makes a move will die!
But now, it's a good opportunity. However... he still has some worries. Because if this happens, he and his Revolutionary Army will go directly from the shadows to the mainstream.
That would mean going head-to-head with the entire World Government and navies!
If Moke were to pull a fast one and send him to the front lines, his Revolutionary Army would suffer heavy losses.
But Moke could already tell that he was somewhat tempted. He immediately added, "Don't worry, I'll also have someone take over the North Blue. The East Blue, the South Blue, the West Blue... you can choose one. Once we've established ourselves in both seas, and with the power of my New World, we'll truly have the qualifications to stand on equal footing with the World Government."
Long was shocked. "You still want to mess with North Blue?"
Moke nodded. "I've already set up the trap. I'm just waiting for the Navy and the World Government to jump in. Then I'll give them a good beating, and then... I won't have to worry anymore."
The dragon had fallen silent.
He had always believed he was the most daring. After all, he was acting with the conviction of overthrowing the World Government. However, he never imagined that he would actually overthrow the World Government in his lifetime.
The World Government has been operating in this world for eight hundred years.
It's not that easy to overthrow!
Therefore, what he has always valued, besides steady development and doing what he believes in, is the passing on of tradition... Yes, the passing on of tradition.
He wanted to pass on his beliefs.
In this way, as long as the belief remains, the flames of revolution will not be extinguished. As long as the revolution continues, one day, the World Government will truly be overthrown.
If he can't do it, then let's hand it over to Sabo.
If Sabo isn't good enough, then let's hand it over to the next generation.
But this kid in front of me really wants to overthrow the World Government in his lifetime!
What a crazy idea!
The dragon's eyes began to gleam with a hint of madness. "Fine, fine... I'll go crazy with you. I'll handle the West Blue..."
Moke: "Then let's have a race to see who's faster."
At this moment, even the dragon was spurred on by its competitive spirit. It nodded. "No problem..."
Moke extended his hand. "From today onwards, we are allies."
Dragon also extended his hand.
Their hands clapped together in mid-air.
This also signifies that the alliance between the two major powers has been formally established.
Moke then added, "Since we've made the bet, I have to kindly remind you. You need to hurry; my men have already reached North Blue."
Upon hearing this, Long's pupils constricted sharply, and he shouted to the other side, "Sabo, Karasu, Morley, Lindbergh, come with me..."
Sabo, Karasu, Morley, Lindbergh quickly emerged from that direction.
Then Dragon added, "I heard about the bear from Jewelry Bonney, so I'm leaving it to you."
With her daughter, Joelle Bonney, around, I feel reassured about leaving Xiong here.
Besides, he also needs to help the bear regain his senses, so he'll definitely have to go to Vegapunk's place. And Moke had mentioned it to Jewelry Bonney a long time ago, so he's probably already made preparations.
Since that's the case, he decided not to interfere.
Dragon hurriedly left with Sabo, Karasu, Morley, Lindbergh, as they needed to return to the Revolutionary Army Headquarters to make preparations.
Then, we'll head towards the West Blue.
Moke then made arrangements for Perospero, Katakuri Cracker, Smoothie, and their group.
He then summoned Shiryu, Jinbe, and Issho.
Shiryu excitedly, "Captain, are we going to start another war?"
Issho and Jinbe exchanged a glance; they didn't think so. After all, they had just recruited Perospero and Katakuri.
I just got my hands on the Totto Land too.
The situation has not yet stabilized, and it would be unwise to wage a major war at this time.
Moke: "I think by now, the World Government has already set its sights on Sugar and O-Tama. Sugar is unlikely to show herself, but O-Tama could be released as bait."
Upon hearing this, Shiryu, Jinbe, and Issho's expressions sharpened.
Yes!
At this point, instead of launching a war, it would be better to lure the enemy to a predetermined location on your side and launch an ambush.
This way, they could deliver a devastating blow to the World Government at minimal cost.
The pain made them afraid to move again.
This will give them a period of stable development.
Moke added, "Also, I'll be leaving for a while... You're taking over here. Don't cause any trouble..."
Shiryu, Jinbe, and Issho exchanged glances.
At such a crucial moment, how could the captain leave?
Moke seemed to see through their thoughts. "I need to make a big splash somewhere else. We can't let the World Government and the Navy devote all their energy and military power to us!"
"Divert attention? That's a good idea." Yi Xiao couldn't help but praise.
Clearly, he approved of this approach.
Shiryu and Jinbe, standing to the side, also indicated that they understood.
Jinbe further assured them, "Captain, don't worry! As long as we're here, we'll make sure the World Government's people don't leave alive."
Moke nodded in satisfaction. "Don't worry! I'll take the mirror with me when I leave. As long as I have it with me, I can come back quickly if anything happens here."
After speaking, Moke turned his gaze to Yixiao: "Yixiao, Perospero, Katakuri, Cracker, Smoothie... you take good care of them. This time, let them go too. Let's see... whether they are truly working for us."
Yi Xiao: "Yes!"
