Meanwhile, in a war-torn country, Sabo, the chief of staff of the Revolutionary Army, along with his assistants, led the Revolutionary Army in a final all-out attack on the country.
Bang...
Bang...
Bang...
Sabo braved the artillery fire, with powerful shells constantly pounding around him, yet unable to harm him in the slightest. In the blink of an eye, he arrived at the city gate, gazing at the city that stretched out before them like an iron Fortress, with two large gates forged from steel locked tightly in front of him.
"Wow, it's huge... but it's no match for me... Dragon Claw... Dragon's Breath!!"
Sabo looked up at the gate and exclaimed in admiration. Then he took off his right glove, formed his five fingers into a three-clawed dragon shape, placed them on the gate, and shouted. Immediately afterward, a powerful force emanated from his body and was transmitted to the gate.
Click click click...
Click click click...
Snap!! Boom...
The door seemed unable to withstand the violent shock, emitting a series of booming sounds. In no time, the massive iron door shattered under Sabo's attack. The sound of Tekkai crashing to the ground struck the hearts of the royal guards inside, causing their will to gradually crumble.
"Hey!!"
Amidst the billowing smoke, Sabo's figure gradually came into view. He chuckled, and that laugh became the final straw that broke the camel's back, crushing their fear.
Horan...
Horan...
"Oh, this is terrifying!! I'm not staying, I'm leaving..."
"Run!!"
As the first man threw down his weapon and fled, the others abandoned their pursuit and followed him.
"Hehe, well, the mission is finally complete..."
Sabo leaned against the wall and door, chuckling as he watched the kingdom's soldiers flee in terror at his abilities.
" Sabo!! Sabo!!"
Just then, a clear voice rang out, and a young and beautiful woman walked in, looking around and calling his name.
" Koala, I'm here!!"
Upon hearing the woman's call, Sabo stood up and, upon seeing her, quickly waved in response.
"You're here!! Honestly, causing trouble again..."
Upon hearing the response, the pretty young girl Koala's face lit up with joy as she walked over, standing in front of Sabo with her hands on her hips and scolding him.
"Um... okay, okay, don't be angry anymore, I won't do it again next time!!"
Sabo felt a little guilty after being scolded by her, and tried to appease her.
"Hmph, you always say the same thing, and it always ends the same way! Fine, I can't argue with you anyway, just be careful."
Seeing that he was all smiles and had no sincerity in apologizing, Koala shook her head helplessly, realizing there was nothing she could do about it.
"By the way, Koala, what brings you here to see me?"
Sabo abruptly changed the subject, asking her that at this time of year she would usually be handling the handover ceremony, but her coming to him now must mean she had something important to tell him.
"Yes, Mr. Long just sent word that we need to go to Supomachi Island to investigate Carlos's sale of arms to our enemy country. You can follow Mr. Long's instructions for the specifics!"
After Koala finished speaking, she picked up a phone and handed it to him.
Click...
"Hello, can you hear me? This is Dragon..."
After Sabo answered the phone, he heard the voice of Dragon, the leader of the Revolutionary Army.
"Yes, I heard you. Uncle Long, is there anything you need me to do?"
After recognizing the person on the other end, Sabo replied respectfully.
"Well, I believe Koala has already told you the general situation. I only need you to do two things: first, find out the specific flow of Carlos's arms sales and who the contact person is; second, remember to conceal your identity and don't let them find out. Koala can accompany you to handle this matter. Alright, that's all I have to say. Do you have any other questions, Sabo?"
"Yes, that's all..."
"Alright, now that you've accepted it, hurry up and pack your things to get ready to leave. I heard that Donquixote Family executives will also be involved, so be careful."
Click...
Dragon hung up the phone immediately after speaking.
"... Doflamingo, is that it? Interesting. Could it be that they're involved for some other purpose as well?"
Sabo hung up the phone and pondered for a moment before speaking.
"Hey, Sabo..."
"Uh, yes, I'm here. What's up?"
Just then, Koala's somewhat anxious voice reached his ears, interrupting his thoughts. Sabo looked up and asked.
"What's wrong? You've been silent since your call with Mr. Long. I thought something had happened to you!"
By the way, what are Mr. Long's arrangements? Does he need my help?
Koala rolled her eyes at him before beginning her sermon, and then asked about Dragon's arrangements for them.
"Yes, we do need your help. Uncle Dragon has arranged for us to go to Supomachi Island to handle the arms deal, and as my assistant, you'll be coming with me to help."
Sabo handed the Den Den Mushi back to her and explained it to Koala.
"Learn!!"
After receiving Dragon's instructions, Koala gave him a proper salute and then immediately went to handle the handover.
Turning our attention to the Isel, Luo Chen and Catherine were sitting together at a rectangular dining table covered with a long white tablecloth.
"Hey, what's wrong, Catherine? You've been ignoring me since earlier. I know it was wrong of me to make a decision without consulting you, but you don't have to be so disrespectful. So many people are watching, it's really embarrassing for me!"
Luo Chen looked at Catherine across from him, who was indifferently enjoying her Sea Kings meat steak, and said to her somewhat embarrassedly.
Nearby, George, who had been accepted into the crew by Luo Chen, was cleaning the room with a broom. He dared not speak about the matter, fearing that Catherine would expel him from the pirate crew without any scruples.
"Hmph, so you do care about your pride? Compared to your life, which is more important? You approved his application without even fully understanding his identity. Aren't you afraid that your personality will ultimately ruin you?"
Finally, after a long while, Catherine spoke, giving him a cold glance before she spoke.
George remained silent despite Catherine's undisguised doubts about him. He knew that if he dared to defend himself now, the consequences would be severe, and even Captain Luo Chen wouldn't allow him to stay any longer.
No one wants their superior to interrupt them while they're speaking. Yes, although George has been accepted by Luo Chen, he's starting as an intern on the ship, making him the lowest-ranking person there. Therefore, he just needs to remain silent while Catherine and Luo Chen are speaking; he'll believe she'll eventually agree.
This is merely a reminder to Luo Chen that he must never make decisions without everyone's consent again, as this would be a disaster, not a blessing, for the pirate crew.
