After a deep conversation with Vic, Dragon gradually delegated authority. Sabo is a very good leader. He may have been a bit impulsive when he was younger, but now that he has experienced some major events, he has matured and his mind is clear enough. Dragon is quite at ease entrusting the Revolutionary Army to him!
Ever since learning that there were still powerhouses at the God Realm in this world, Dragon understood that the Revolutionary Army before him would most likely only serve as a post-war stabilization force!
God Realm expert is far too powerful. They are beyond being defeated by sheer numbers. Even if there were hundreds of such experts, it would be futile; they would all be easy prey!
Those powerful beings can truly be called gods of the land. Until one reaches the God Realm, one is ultimately just an ant. Dragon is also about to embark on a different path. Hopefully, there's still time!
" Yamato! You're back. Are you finally free from your obsession with Wano Country?"
Vic quickly returned to the pirate crew's base in the New World, and the first person he saw was Yamato.
From the time he left Wano Country to follow the Kid Pirates, to killing Blackbeard and his crew on Winner Island, then going to Egghead to fight the Five Elders of Imu, and finally visiting Baltigo, it's been almost half a month, which is certainly enough Yamato to return!
" Vic! You're back too! I returned three days ago. I'm free of any obsessions now. The people of Wano Country won't go hungry anymore. I can just go back and visit occasionally from now on!"
Kaido and his Beasts Pirates have left Wano Country. Without the factories that produce weapons and process Seastone, Wano Country's water pollution will soon be restored. With land and good water sources, Wano Country will no longer lack food!
Actually, when Kaido was in Wano Country, food wasn't particularly scarce. The main problem was that the Beasts Pirates had too many people. They were all pirates who liked to eat and take more than they could eat, and they didn't care about the lives of the common people. This is why Wano Country was a scene of famine with corpses everywhere!
If the Beasts Pirates are gone, Wano Country will be self-sufficient, thus fulfilling Yamato's wish!
"I heard you stood in front of Four Emperors Big Mom in Wano Country! Not bad, you've improved a lot, but don't get complacent. Your strength is still far from sufficient; you have a long way to go!"
The Four Emperors are indeed the ceiling of combat power in the eyes of pirates. Many people become complacent when they reach this level because no one can defeat them and they can hold their own against anyone. Charlotte Linlin is a prime example of this!
After becoming Four Emperors, Big Mom completely let herself go. Aside from having children and developing her pirate crew, she spent her time eating and drinking. So even though she was incredibly talented from a young age, she became the weakest of the Four Emperors, not even as good as the rising star Shanks!
"Huh? The Four Emperors level of combat power isn't the end? There are even stronger beings out there?"
Yamato is a bit slow-witted. She doesn't know if there's still room for improvement in herself. She can't sense it, nor will she spend time trying to understand it. Before, she was always chasing after Kaido and Vic. If there's no goal ahead, she'll probably stop and do something that interests her!
The people in this world don't simply strive to be powerful. They all have other ambitions or purposes, and strength is merely a means to achieve them!
Yamato shared the same thought. She had developed a sense of right and wrong from a young age and knew that it was wrong for her father, Kaido, to seize Wano Country. Therefore, she wanted to drive Kaido out of Wano Country, but as a young and weak girl, she simply couldn't do it. She could only achieve this goal by constantly becoming stronger.
Luffy is the same; his dream is to go on an adventure at sea, see all sorts of interesting people and things, and eventually become the Pirate King!
However, he knew from a young age that weak people cannot become the Pirate King, and he also needed to become stronger to overcome the many difficulties at sea. Therefore, Luffy's strength is just a means to realize his dream!
People like Luffy and Yamato, once they achieve their goals, are unlikely to actively become stronger. At that point, they must be given a new goal; otherwise, it would be a waste of their talent, which is extremely shameful!
"Of course! That person is me, and our enemy. He's incredibly strong! Facing him now is like facing Kaido when you were a child—utterly powerless. But people are full of infinite possibilities. Don't stop moving forward; break free and see!"
Vic already knew Yamato's goal. Yamato's personality, she couldn't keep anything to herself, so even if Yamato didn't come back, Vic would still go and guide her.
Now that Yamato came back on his own initiative, it would be easier to handle. Vic directly summoned four void lightning bolts and tied Yamato's limbs together, forming a standing "" character.
Vic didn't use the purple lightning that bound the Five Elders, nor the stronger red lightning; he only used novice-level blue lightning. However, given Vic's thorough understanding of the Law of Lightning, the blue lightning wasn't so easy to break free from.
"Hmm? That's the move they used against Kaido! It's so numbing!"
Yamato had witnessed Vic's move Yamato. Back when he was fighting Kaido on Titan Island, Kaido couldn't dodge it and was instantly bound, and then he took a big hit from it!
Yamato didn't know that Vic was hiding her strength back then, and even now she doesn't realize it; her brain isn't that sharp yet!
" Vic! What are you doing? Put Yamato down!"
Just as Yamato was struggling to break free, Rebecca's voice came from afar. She quickly appeared in front of Yamato, spreading her arms to block between the two, afraid that Vic would continue to attack Yamato!
"I just want Yamato to realize her own weakness. She wasn't involved in the Egghead incident, so she has no idea how dangerous this world is!"
Our Thunder God Pirates are being watched by the World Government. I can't be with you all the time. If those people get a chance, you'll have to save yourselves. So I don't want you to slack off!
Vic found Rebecca's reaction somewhat amusing. In this sunny, open place, what could he possibly do to Yamato?
While Yamato's current posture is indeed somewhat indecent, he doesn't have such a perverted fetish, does he?
Rebecca certainly didn't misunderstand Vic; Yamato's expression was definitely off.
"Ah? Oh! So it wasn't there after all..."
"What are you thinking? And you can't let your guard down. Don't be complacent just because you're undefeated against the Five Elders. What I need is for you to defeat them head-on!"
Otherwise, next time you encounter them, they can wear you down. It's not just the Five Elders who are immortal; all the members of the Holy Knights are like that!
As soon as Vic saw Rebecca's reaction, he knew she was thinking something completely wrong!
