Dragon's Deal, Identity Exposed

Clouds rose and fell, and a huge, dark red wing flapped violently at great speed, leaving a white trail in its wake.

"Brother Ye Chen, Marco the Phoenix, the first division commander of the Whitebeard Pirates?"

Seeing that Ye Chen was coming back, Hina quickly grabbed his arm and said in a clear voice.

"Yes, your strength is well-deserved."

Ye Chen patted Hina's head and smiled.

It seemed that after having a relationship with Hina, Ye Chen smiled much more often.

"How did they end up on the Grand Line!" Hina raised her eyebrows slightly, exuding a captivating charm.

"Boss, we're almost at Sabaody Archipelago. Shall we go down and have some fun?"

In the heat of the moment, Bai Doudou plopped down and yelled at Ye Chen.

"Let's go check it out first! Returning to Marineford won't be a big problem if we're delayed by half a month!"

Ye Chen waved casually, then took Hina's hand, and the two leaned on each other, watching the sunrise.

Bai Doudou pouted. He'd almost gotten used to it by now. These two would hold hands and kiss at the drop of a hat, completely ignoring him. He'd protested countless times, but nobody cared.

In the end, I could only get used to it. Sometimes, I would even comment on the angle of the kiss, acting like an expert, which earned me countless beatings and scoldings.

Strictly speaking, the Sabaody Archipelago was the Qidian for everything for Ye Chen. There was pain, despair, and opportunity. When he stepped back in, apart from the people being completely different, everything else was the same. Time had not left any mark on the Sabaody Archipelago.

Stepping onto the ground, Ye Chen's originally gentle expression instantly turned icy cold, and even Hina's presence beside him did nothing to warm him up.

"Go to numbers 40 to 49." Hina knew a lot about Ye Chen, so she deliberately avoided many places and only went to relatively peaceful specialty product areas.

Before long, amidst the bustling crowds, in area 15, on a two-story building, Ye Chen and Hina sat together, watching the street, drinking coffee, and eating sweets.

As for Bai Doudou, she's long since gone off to run wild somewhere.

Quietly observing the bustling streets, Ye Chen's eyes remained indifferent as he watched the wealthy and the myriad aspects of life.

Beneath the glitz and glamour before our eyes lies an unseen darkness.

"This world is truly disgusting."

With a slight shift in his emotions, Ye Chen muttered to himself, causing Hina to grip his hand tightly, wanting to offer Ye Chen some warmth.

"This world is indeed disgusting, so have you ever thought about changing it?"

Without a sound, a figure appeared out of thin air, standing opposite Ye Chen, pulling out a chair and sitting down.

His eyes remained completely expressionless, as if Ye Chen had anticipated this person's appearance.

"Managing such a large operation, and still having time to run into you here, it seems the Revolutionary Army is in a pretty good position!"

Turning his gaze away from the street, Ye Chen stared expressionlessly at the person in front of him.

Hina, standing beside him, was somewhat shocked, but she quickly calmed down after feeling the warmth of Ye Chen's large hand.

"Recently, the appearance of two mysterious figures has slightly reduced the pressure on the Revolutionary Army. Should I go and thank them?"

Leaning back in his chair, the person crossed his legs and waved to the waiter not far away, "A cup of coffee, please."

Please wait a moment.

Ye Chen didn't answer, but turned his head and continued to look at the street, somewhat lost in thought.

The newcomer was slightly embarrassed by Ye Chen's unconventional behavior and his complete disregard for him, but quickly regained his composure.

"I'm here to discuss a deal with you."

Holding the coffee brought by the waiter, Ye Chen took a sip, looked at him, and spoke.

Straightening up and leaning back in his chair, Ye Chen tapped the table with one hand, somewhat amused. "You don't know who I am, do you? I almost died last time. I haven't settled that score with you yet. Do you think I have a good temper?"

"In this world, there are no eternal enemies. However, I can't really judge your temper; after all, no normal person could become Marine Admiral!"

"It seems you've done your research thoroughly." Ye Chen's eyes narrowed slightly, and he smiled dismissively.

"That's why I'm qualified to talk business with you; otherwise, I wouldn't be here having coffee."

"As the leader of the Revolutionary Army, you, Monkey D. Dragon, certainly don't have much free time. So, let's see what your deal is. By the way, I'm in a bad mood right now, so you'd better distract me, or I won't hesitate to settle the score here."

Ye Chen slowly sipped his coffee, and his interest began to grow.

That's right, this guy is Monkey D. Dragon, the leader of the Revolutionary Army, the powerful guy who almost killed Ye Chen last time with Kuma.

Ignoring Ye Chen's threat, Long's expression gradually turned serious. He pulled out a stack of documents from his pocket. "Take a look at these first."

Picking up the document, I saw seven large characters on the cover: The Warlord Plan.

Upon seeing these words, Ye Chen roughly guessed why Long had come to find him. Seeing no need to continue reading, Ye Chen simply tossed the file onto the table.

Long Ye Chen frowned immediately without even glancing at him, because this was not good news.

"As expected of the leader of the Revolutionary Army, he obtained such important naval secrets so quickly. This undercover agent is no ordinary person!"

To be honest, Ye Chen doesn't even know about the Shichibukai Plan yet, and Sengoku hasn't told him either. However, Ye Chen guesses that Sengoku wasn't ready yet. But now this plan has appeared in Dragon's hands. What does that mean?

The agent representing the navy is a high-ranking spy, at least Vice Admiral.

"Shichibukai Plan, I will be sending Kuma. I hope you can turn a blind eye." Dragon skillfully changed the subject, his expression very serious.

"Do you think I'd be kind enough to let a guy who almost killed me go?"

Ye Chen chuckled, as if he had heard something amusing.

"No one else would do that, but you might. For example, the two mysterious people who appeared some time ago swept through the Germa 66 Kingdom and the Navy's branch. But surprisingly, they have now disappeared again, as if they have vanished into thin air."

You might not know this, but the appearance of these two mysterious figures has made many people on the high seas extremely uneasy, especially the Navy. Therefore, the Shichibukai Plan has no choice but to become a reality, since those guys on Mary Geoise only want to maintain the balance of the seas!

"What does this have to do with me?" Ye Chen's eyes were icy; he knew he had been exposed.

"You possess Conqueror's Haki, and you just happened to disappear for a year, along with a Devil Fruit User the Rumble-Rumble Fruit; and when you reappeared, these two mysterious individuals vanished. Don't underestimate the Revolutionary Army's intelligence and analytical capabilities, especially since Conqueror's Haki users are like lanterns in the night."

"It might sound ridiculous, but when I first saw this report, you were the first person I thought of."

Having regained the initiative, the dragon smiled.

Beside her, Hina's red lips parted slightly, somewhat incredulous. Those two mysterious figures who had shaken the seas recently—were they Ye Chen?

Furthermore, Ye Chen is also a user of Conqueror's Haki!
