"Lord Kazu, rest assured, our Revolutionary Army will surely bring peace to this world."
Long nodded solemnly to Kazu, which was not only a reply to Kazu, but also a promise from the bottom of his heart.
Having overcome the first hurdle, another challenge lies ahead.
However, he believes that as long as many like-minded people work together wholeheartedly and cooperate sincerely, the problem can be solved.
That day is not far off.
Several hours later, the elite Revolutionary Army who had been stunned by Conqueror's Haki gradually regained consciousness.
Mary Geoise was completely occupied by the Revolutionary Army, and the cleanup work began.
Dragon had already contacted journalists, and the next morning, the news of the Revolutionary Army overthrowing the World Government hit the world like a raging flood.
There are other organizations and forces around the world that are not affiliated with the World Government. After waiting for two days and finding that the World Government had not responded and they could not contact their superiors, they had no choice but to accept this shocking fact.
"It's over. The World Government ruled this world for over eight hundred years, but it collapsed so quickly."
"Dean, what should we do next?"
"What to do?"
"Of course you should turn around and join the Revolutionary Army, your new boss, you idiot!"
This situation quickly spiraled out of control, and in a short time, Dragon received dozens of calls in Mary Geoise seeking defection.
There are also those who didn't actively surrender, either because they did things that were too outrageous and knew they wouldn't be accepted, such as human experimentation.
Otherwise, they are loyal to the World Government to the death, and even though the World Government has collapsed, they still resist stubbornly and have no intention of surrendering.
The Revolutionary Army indeed didn't have time to deal with them for the time being.
Establishing a foothold and accepting these defectors will require considerable time and effort.
At this moment, Fleet Admiral Sengoku of the Navy personally sent a telegram congratulating the Revolutionary Army on its successful overthrow of the World Government, and formally representing the Navy in reaching a cooperation agreement with the Revolutionary Army.
With the help of the navy, the pressure on the Revolutionary Army was greatly reduced, and the sea, which was about to become turbulent, returned to calm in just a few months.
After Shanks left Mary Geoise, he returned to the East Blue with his pirate crew.
First, we'll go to Loguetown to pay our respects to Captain Roger.
He then spent several months in Foosha Village, personally teaching Luffy and Ace.
Shanks values both of them highly: one is his chosen successor, and the other is Captain Roger's biological son.
The world has changed drastically. If Luffy a few years, Shanks won't be worried about him at all.
After all, the three most powerful forces on the sea, the Revolutionary Army, represents the new government, and its leader is Luffy's father.
The navy's own grandfather was a naval hero, and he could even address the Fleet Admiral Sengoku as "Grandpa."
In the pirate world, he had just become one of the new Four Emperors. The former Blond Hair Pirates was separated after becoming the Pirate King. The Four Emperors level is no longer enough to describe this legendary great pirate.
Shanks felt reassured knowing that Luffy was capable of succeeding on either side, as he himself held considerable influence within the pirate community.
As for Ace, Shanks has already revealed his identity as a member of Captain Roger's crew and told Ace about Roger's reasons for starting the Great Pirate Era.
As expected, Ace, who had been hated by the world since childhood because of Roger's bloodline, had finally let go of his hatred for his biological father.
It turns out that the Pops wanted to lead that destined person down the path of piracy, hoping to guide the power left behind by the Great Kingdom from eight hundred years ago to overthrow the World Government and achieve the goal of liberating the world.
"Uncle Shanks, I've made up my mind."
Ace, Luffy, and Shanks sat around a campfire, eating roasted meat and chatting. After learning the whole truth, Ace made a momentous decision.
" Ace, have you figured it out?"
Shanks handed Ace a roasted leg of meat, looking at Ace with a kind smile.
Ace took the roasted leg and swallowed it down in one gulp, chewing quickly for a few bites before swallowing it whole.
"That's right. Although Pops started the Great Pirate Era for the good of the world, it did cause harm to ordinary people."
Before Ace could finish speaking, Shanks couldn't help but interject, saying, " Ace, you're still young; there are some things you don't understand yet."
Nothing in this world is perfect, and some costs are unavoidable. For a better future, Captain Roger had no choice but to do so.
Ace smiled and nodded.
"I understand, so I no longer hate him."
"Since I'm his son, I have to clean up the mess left by this father I've never even met."
"Perfect timing. The old man has been nagging me to join the navy."
"I've thought it through. I'll join the navy then."
"There are good pirates like the Red Hair Pirates and the Blond Hair Pirates in this world, but there are far more villains who burn, kill, plunder, and commit all sorts of evil deeds."
"I want to become a navy officer and wipe out all those bad guys. That would be some kind of compensation."
Seeing Ace's serious expression, it seems the kid is truly mentally prepared.
Shanks didn't stop Ace's decision. If Captain Roger knew what Ace was thinking, he would probably laugh and say to him, "As expected of my son."
