"It's me."
"Dragon, I've arrived in Saierde, in the first half of the Grand Line. Do you have any manpower here?"
"I'm going to slaughter the king and nobles of this country, and then I'll wait for you to liberate this Affiliated Nation."
"Oh, by the way, this country has a very strong steel and shipbuilding industry, which should be of great use to your Revolutionary Army."
Kazu spoke with an air of nonchalance, as if he were not about to slaughter the nobles and king of a Affiliated Nation, but rather about to take a stroll in the street and enjoy the breeze.
Um?
What a stroke of luck!
They could liberate a Affiliated Nation, and a major industrial nation, without wasting a single soldier—precisely what their Revolutionary Army desperately needed.
Most importantly, the World Government's focus was on the Blond Hair Pirates; all he needed to do was secretly support a righteous person to be the new leader of Saierde.
In the past two years, since receiving Kazu's wise words, the Revolutionary Army has finally gotten back on track.
With less attention from World Government focused on them and having liberated so many countries, they were finally able to become self-sufficient in weapons and food.
He was now incredibly grateful that he had met Kazu and listened to his advanced revolutionary ideas, which allowed their Revolutionary Army to undergo a complete transformation in just two short years.
Of course, what pleased Long the most was Kazu's attitude.
Look at them, the first thing they think of when such a good thing happens is their Revolutionary Army.
Moreover, Kazu's intention was quite clear: the king and nobles of Saierde were so corrupt that Kazu could no longer bear to look at them.
However, fearing that the country would descend into greater chaos if the leadership were to disappear, they wanted to seamlessly take over and stabilize the situation in Saierde as quickly as possible.
In retrospect, the Kazu brothers were indeed their best allies in the Revolutionary Army.
"No problem, Kazu."
"Wait in Saierde for a while."
"Three days, just three days, and our Revolutionary Army will be ready. Then it will be perfect for you to strike."
Long confidently set a timeframe and made a commitment, Kazu was very satisfied with Long's efficiency.
It was only three days; it passed in the blink of an eye.
"No problem. Our Blond Hair Pirates will make our move in three days. Once we've done this, we'll leave. The rest is up to you."
After agreeing on the plan and time, the two chatted briefly about random things before hanging up the Den Den Mushi.
Kazu put the Den Den Mushi back in its place, and then, in the next instant, he was back in the pub's private room.
"Yo, you're back, Kazu."
Carlmand sat next to Kazu, and they were already used to Kazu's elusive nature.
"Oh, I just called Long, and he said he'll be ready in three days."
Kazu sat back down in his seat, lit a cigarette, and looked completely in control.
"Ready?"
"What do you need to prepare, Mr. Kazu? Just tell me, and we'll do our best."
Drew was so excited he stood up; this concerned the fate of their country.
Although he didn't know who the dragon Kazu had mentioned was or what he had prepared, he understood that in three days, the Blond Hair Pirates would be taking action against those cancerous elements in the Saierde.
"You don't need to prepare anything."
"You've heard of the Revolutionary Army, right? They're there to overthrow corrupt rulers in other countries and then elect a truly good leader who serves the people."
"The ultimate goal is to overthrow the World Government, thereby achieving the liberation of the entire world."
"The dragon I just mentioned is Monkey D. Dragon, the leader of the Revolutionary Army."
Kazu spoke casually, but Drew and his two companions behind him had their eyes shining.
" Revolutionary Army!!"
"Of course we've heard of him. So the dragon you were talking about is the leader of the Revolutionary Army, Mr. Monkey D. Dragon. We only realized who you were referring to when you mentioned his full name."
"This is wonderful! The Revolutionary Army has arrived! Our Saierde is saved!"
"Yes, yes, overthrow Chadrila's rule and elect a new leader who truly cares for the country and its people. With the industrial strength of our Saierde, I believe the people's lives will soon improve."
Drew and his two companions were already envisioning a bright future. In their view, with the Blond Hair Pirates agreeing to take action, defeating Chadrila and his group was already a foregone conclusion.
With the arrival of the Revolutionary Army, the post-war worries were resolved, which was the best outcome for the Saierde.
Come on, let's keep drinking.
"You three can show us around this place for the next three days, we've got nothing else to do anyway."
"Is there a red-light district here? I wonder if women from steel-industrialized countries are wilder?"
" Carlmand, what nonsense are you talking about? Of course, you'll have more fun finding it yourself. You actually asked Drew and the others? How are they supposed to answer you?"
