November 27, 1513 (Sea Circle Calendar )
More than a month has passed since Tyrant Kuma visited Impel Down.
As always, the dragon was conserving its strength in the prison cell, secretly waiting for its opportunity.
Unfortunately, he didn't know that the bear's repeated visits made Anduin and the others increasingly wary of the dragon's existence, and their killing intent was also surging.
Footsteps echoed in the corridor outside the cell.
Soon, Shiryu, Pride, and Envy arrived at the entrance to the dragon's prison.
Long frowned, secretly speculating about the intentions of Shiryu other two.
Click! The door opened.
Someone wants to see you.
"Who?"
You'll know when you get there.
Long Xin secretly speculated.
He quickly followed the three people through the elevator to the 5.5th floor entrance, where there was no button.
'Where is this place?' Long Xin estimated the elevator's ascent time and found that it didn't match the time it took to come down.
However, he soon stopped speculating.
Interior renovation.
The sudden appearance of Luo and the Karasu in the Garganta made the dragon's eyes widen. " Karasu, why are you here?"
If it weren't for Shiryu, Pride, and the others escorting him, the dragon might have thought the Karasu had come to rescue him, but given the current situation, it's clear they weren't there to save him.
"Dragon, why ask a question you already know the answer to?" The Karasu looked coldly into the dragon's eyes.
"Why?" the dragon asked in a low voice.
"Why? Because you betrayed the ideals of the Revolutionary Army. I've already given you a chance, but you chose to let things drift."
Dragon asked, somewhat confused, "What are you talking about? When did I betray the Revolutionary Army?"
"Do you remember your son?" the Karasu reminded him.
"..." Dragon's pupils contracted. "Just because of Luffy?"
"Hahaha, are you really that clueless, or are you just pretending?" The Karasu laughed angrily, "Your son wants to be the Pirate King, and you just let him do as he pleases. What kind of revolutionary are you?"
"I've already said, this is Luffy's ideal, and I respect his ideal," Dragon replied with a gloomy expression.
The Karasu sneered, "Heh, this is disloyalty to the revolution! You can't even raise your own son properly, yet you want to save the world with your methods? It's a complete joke!"
"Is this why you've sided with the World Government?" Dragon countered.
"Hahaha..." Shiryu off his cigar. "Phew... Who said we're from the World Government?"
"What?!" Dragon's eyes widened instantly, then he seemed to realize something, staring intently at Karasu: "You joined the Liberator Organization? Impel Down is already under their Liberator Organization?"
"That's right," Shiryu replied with a smile.
Long's bad premonition grew stronger. He just didn't understand why the Liberator Organization were doing this. "I don't understand, why are you targeting me?"
Pride, who had remained silent until now, answered the dragon's question, "Have you ever heard the saying, 'Cut the weeds and eliminate the roots'? Since we've become enemies, there's no need for mercy."
Envy then turns into a vicious attack. " Garp died at our hands, your son died at our hands, and we secretly guided the discovery of White Soil Island. Do you think we'd let you go?"
"You! You! You deserve to die!" The dragon was completely enraged, and veins bulged on his forehead.
Envy launched another venomous attack. "From the moment you became stubborn and started secretly investigating the Kingdom of Dawn, you were on your way to your doom. Don't try to portray yourself as some innocent saint."
Dragon roared hysterically, " Luffy and the others are just kids! You're all utterly heartless!"
The Karasu was equally furious. "A child? I gave him a chance, but he keeps saying he wants to be the Pirate King. Shouldn't we kill him? Or keep him alive to grow up and wreak havoc on the seas?"
"You..." The dragon was enraged to the point of losing its composure.
Luo, standing nearby, quickly reminded them, "Alright, everyone, we should get down to business."
"Go ahead and do it! But the World Government and Kuma have my Vivre Card." Dragon sneered at Karasu and the others.
His Pride gaze was chillingly calm. "Heh, we never said we were going to kill you."
He pulled out several the Devil Contract, then cut open the dragon's finger and signed the Devil Contract with the dragon's blood.
"This is..."
Before Long could figure it out, he felt the Devil Fruit power within him disappear, because the suppression of him by the Seastone had vanished.
However, he still couldn't break free of his shackles. Before entering the rehabilitation room, Pride had injected him with a special muscle activity inhibitor, which had left him in a state of muscle weakness.
Dragon was shocked. "You can actually strip Devil Fruit of their abilities?"
Suddenly another voice rang out.
I'm late.
A figure emerged from the Garganta; it was Moria.
" The Shichibukai?" A tremendous wave of emotion surged within Dragon's heart.
Moria had no intention of chatting with the dragon, after all, he wasn't familiar with it.
Soon, the dragon's memories were extracted, and then Law cut off his frontal lobe, which Moria then transformed into Living Dead General.
Pride was still resting with his eyes closed, browsing through the dragon's memories. He quickly opened his eyes. "So it was just a premonition. He and Tyrant Kuma didn't find anything unusual."
"I see. But what about these memories?" Envy asked.
Pride handed the memory card to Moria: "Give it to Moria! Let him store the memory in a shadow. If the Tyrant comes to visit again, Moria can personally control the shadow to fool him. Anyway, he doesn't have much time left."
"No problem." Moria casually put away the memory card.
As for how the dragon's body will be used in the future, it will definitely not appear in its true form. When the final battle begins, it will definitely be given a new appearance.
After all, some members of the Revolutionary Army still have some affection for Dragon, so it would be somewhat inappropriate for the Living Dead General to appear directly with Dragon's face.
The same applies to Ivankov and Inazuma.
Even if they want to use the corpse, they will use their abilities to alter its appearance.
If anyone asks about it later, the blame for killing Dragon and Ivankov can be shifted to the World Government. Anyway, the World Government will definitely eliminate all those who knew about it, so there will be no way to prove it.
With the dragon modified, the Hurricane Fruit was also successfully recovered.
The Liberator Organization is also rapidly advancing its efforts to harvest ability users within the Impel Down.
There are currently 186 ability users Impel Down, and it is expected that all of them will be recovered and repurposed by January of next year.
Moria, Law, and others will be helping out at Impel Down soon.
Moria, who used Impel Down prisoners to create the Living Dead Legion, has already produced hundreds of Living Dead General.
These Living Dead General start at the Marine Headquarters Rear Admiral, and some with better raw materials can even reach the level of Elite Vice Admiral.
For example, Living Dead General whose body was modified from a dragon would have the strength of Elite Vice Admiral.
The reason for the decline in strength is unavoidable. Having been stripped of his Devil Fruit, as well as losing his Conqueror's Haki and memories, he can only fight by relying on the mechanical memories implanted by Moria. The fact that he can retain the strength of Elite Vice Admiral is due to the high quality of the raw materials used.
The various branches of the Liberator Organization have recently become more low-key, but in secret they are frantically expanding their weapons and manpower, and the number of high-level combatants is increasing day by day.
