You Have Too Many Questions

Ye Tong had originally prepared a lot of grand speeches.

But after seeing Dragon sit down, Ye Tong found himself at a loss for words.

He knew quite a lot about this sort of thing. Back when he was studying, he had learned plenty of history and politics!

Compared to the cases and theories from those subjects, Dragon before him was like a squalling infant waiting to be fed.

But there was simply too much information, and Ye Tong did not know where to begin.

"Is there something difficult to talk about? Or do you think I'm too weak to withstand even the slightest blow?"

Seeing Ye Tong's conflicted expression, Dragon spoke directly.

"It's not difficult to talk about."

"It's just that you have too many questions. I don't know where to start."

Ye Tong said helplessly.

Seeing Ye Tong's dead-serious expression, Dragon felt a little awkward.

After all, he had made many preparations, yet before Ye Tong, they had become completely worthless.

Although he did not know how this kid had learned about his affairs, how much Ye Tong knew was also a question.

So Dragon did not argue.

He simply sat there quietly.

"Dragon, tell me first—what are you planning to do? You're not going to do something like that with only your own strength, are you?"

"Oh, and the water bottle in your hand is empty. Throw it away."

After thinking it over, Ye Tong decided to let Dragon speak first.

And at that moment, Ye Tong noticed that Dragon was holding an empty plastic bottle.

"This?"

Dragon looked puzzled and instinctively tossed the bottle onto the ground.

"Alright, you can talk now."

With lightning speed, Ye Tong swiftly picked up the bottle.

"Ding! Congratulations, Host. You picked up the bottle discarded by Dragon and obtained Conqueror's Haki (Basic) x1."

The system prompt sounded immediately afterward.

Hearing the system prompt, Ye Tong felt somewhat helpless.

Conqueror's Haki was great, but he could not use it for the time being.

Dragon did not find it strange when the bottle in Ye Tong's hand disappeared.

In his eyes, it was merely a rather unusual Devil Fruit ability.

"As you can see, I am currently recruiting companions."

Dragon spoke calmly.

"Recruiting companions?"

"Then expanding your forces and building a powerful fighting force?"

Ye Tong said directly.

"Yes."

Dragon nodded frankly.

"Let me ask you: once you have enough strength, what will you do?"

"Launch a revolution and push those weak countries that you have assimilated and brainwashed to the front?"

"Use the lives of those innocent weaklings to pile up the achievements of your success."

"Incite resistance in other countries, or provoke the movements of certain dark forces."

"Then your Revolutionary Army can fish in troubled waters, and if you're lucky, capture Mary Geoise."

"Is that right?"

Ye Tong spoke calmly.

"I hadn't thought that far ahead, but perhaps what comes afterward may indeed unfold that way."

Dragon was shocked, but he still forced himself to answer.

"Sure enough, another shameless appropriation approach."

"Dragon, do you really think this is the best choice?"

"Even if you win, are you going to deal with the pirates afterward?"

"Or will you continue living like the Celestial Dragons?"

After taking a deep breath, Ye Tong spoke slowly.
