Chapter 274 - The Audacity!
Because of the need for secrecy, Dragon did not show up directly, and Will also knew that he had a lot of people on his side, as well as those inhabitants of Vault Island who had nowhere.to stay.
So the two sides agreed on a location and met directly at a nearby deserted island.
When Will arrived alone in a small boat, more than a dozen cloaked men had been waiting for a long time.
"At this point, there\'s no need to remain mysterious, right?"
"Maybe you can go see Luffy sometime, that guy hasn\'t even met his own father, that\'s a bit pathetic, isn\'t it, Dragon?"
The fact that his identity was revealed made Dragon somewhat surprised, but as Will said, trying to recruit a Fourth Emperor is not something that can be done by hiding one\'s face, and if you don\'t even let people know what or who you really are, then what\'s the point of talking about sincerity!
So after a brief silence, accompanied by a chuckle, Dragon removed his hood.
The dozen or so members of the revolutionary army standing behind him also revealed their true faces.
Will\'s eyes fluctuated for a rare moment as he swept past someone, and then the corners of his mouth curled up slightly.
Karina who noticed this even lowered her head, she just now felt like her heart was almost going to pop out of her throat!
As it turns out, that guy really had it all figured out!
What should she do?
What would he have her do next?
Karina was so distraught that it was Koala\'s confused arm thumping her that finally woke her up to the fact that now was not the time to be imagining things!
"You seem to know me pretty well?" This opening was somewhat unexpected for Dragon.
"It\'s not much of a secret, is it, oh, I almost forgot, because of your sensitive relationship with the WG Hero Vice-Admiral Garp, the world government and navy have been trying to hide your true identity."
"So give up those silly probes, I know you better than you think you do."
Things had suddenly gotten dicey and out of control, and that was very bad for Dragon!
The man in front of him obviously has secrets he doesn\'t even know about, and he\'s not even sure where the sources of this information are coming from, so it was a mistake to come to him so rashly!
Based on the total inequality of the invitation, Dragon had to become more cautious.
"You do seem to know me very well, but we know nothing about the secrets you are hiding, and even now I am not sure if you have any ill will toward the revolutionaries.
"Didn\'t you come to me? I was looking forward to seeing how the great revolutionary leader would convince me, whether to talk about ideals and aspirations or to sugarcoat or use coercion in an old fashioned way."
Will spoke rudely, and Sabo subconsciously grabbed his weapon, but the revolutionary army members standing behind him were obviously unhappy with the way he spoke.
They were fighting for the peace of the whole world, for the liberation of all mankind, how could they tolerate others to speak in such a mocking tone!
However, Dragon\'s expression didn\'t change at all, he just said indifferently, "In that case, let\'s get straight to the point."
"I created the Revolutionary Army with the aim of overthrowing the unequal rule of the Celestial Dragons who dominate the world government, and to this end, we have fought to this day to liberate many countries that have been oppressed by the regime."
"But to completely overthrow the rule of the Celestial Dragons, we need more like-minded friends, and that is why we have come here today to meet with you!"
It\'s not that Will is putting on any high profile, but with his current status, he can\'t join the revolutionary army as a soldier under someone else, not even as a cadre second only to Dragon!
If he has planned so much and the purpose of becoming stronger every day is just to work for someone else and fulfil someone else\'s ideals, then why should he be a traveller?
So even though he and the revolutionary army both share the same goal - To overthrow the rule of the Celestial Dragon - he needs to be clear about one thing!
And it\'s about who is going to be the dominant player!
It is possible to cooperate with them, but in the end, he must lead many forces to successfully overthrow the rule of the Celestial Dragons, instead of following the pace of the revolutionary army and becoming armour for others.
So Will just said straight out, "I will not join the revolutionary army!"
He calmly waited for Will\'s next words, believing that the other party would not be so idle as to wait for him to come over just to say no in front of him.
But when he finished listening to Will\'s proposal, he still frowned tightly.
"I won\'t join the revolutionary army to work for someone else, but I have to admit that I\'ve also been eyeing the Celestial Dragons for a long time, so I think we can work together."
"Cooperate?"
"Yes, in a mutually beneficial manner, I can provide you with financial support, and some force support when you can\'t make it, to help you liberate those countries that are in dire straits."
Dragon looked at him deeply and then said quietly, "If it\'s a mutually beneficial way, what do you want out of it?"
"Very simply, whenever you liberate a country, I want to see my flag planted there!"
What an appetite!
Most of the countries of the New World are now divided between the Four Emperors and the Navy, which means that this guy wants to eat the tiger\'s mouth, and in such a way that he can\'t refuse!
Not only did Dragon not realize that the other side was plotting against these countries that were either protected by the Navy or under the protection of the Four Emperors, but even Sabo and others were shocked!
Will has long thought about it these days, it\'s impossible to work for the revolutionary army, it\'s impossible to work for the revolutionary army in this life, but he can work with the revolutionary army openly and secretly!
The other side needs to liberate those oppressed countries, strengthen itself and at the same time promote the belief of the revolutionary army, gather more like-minded teammates, and prepare for the overthrow of the Celestial Dragons rule.
At this point, Will won\'t fight with them over anything, he just needs to take the liberated country into his own territory and doesn\'t even need to care what the country will become with the help of the revolutionary army.
What he wants is the name, if he can bring the whole new world territory into his own sphere of influence, then even if he doesn\'t go looking for some One Piece great secret treasure, he will be the uncrowned king of this sea!
Those countries that are in desperate need of rest and recuperation after liberation will be able to continue to develop under his protection, which is truly mutually beneficial.
No one loses, and either side gets what it wants!
Except, of course, for the unlucky ones who were overthrown and the forces behind those original countries!
But when a Fourth Emperor joins forces with a revolutionary army, does he care about the attitudes of these people?
