In the sound of the heavy elephant beast's feet, the big face of the "Demon King", which was big enough to hold eight dishes and one soup, turned around again and faced the dragon.

"'That man'?" Empire of the Deep'? ”

Ivankov blinked, and only then did he react.

"You're talking about David...... 'that guy'. Did I hear me right? Deep Sea Empire?! His guts are really big. ”

"So far, no pirate has dared to build an empire. They usually leave themselves a way out so that they don't become the number one public enemy of the world government. ”

"In addition, the self-proclaimed pirates, who can't win the World Government, still have the opportunity to accept Zhao'an, or continue to wander around."

"After all, that's the world government, I'm a pirate, I'm good at winning, it's normal to not win, and there's nothing to be ashamed of."

"Even, pirates who dare to fight the World Government and the Navy Headquarters are at the top of the chain of contempt, and can despise those who dare not fight."

"But, the Deep Sea Empire? I can't even think about it...... Isn't this just going against the world government? This anti-flag is erected higher and more distinct than ours! ”

After Ivankov said the last paragraph, he regretted it, and sure enough, he applied eyeshadow to the corner of his eye, and noticed that the dragon's expression became extremely ugly for a moment.

He hurriedly remedied.

"But it's good news for us!"

The pressure on the revolutionary army has been too great recently, and Ivankov also felt it.

The dragon grasped the reins of the elephant beast and looked ahead with its eyes as if it could see an imaginary future.

"'That person' may be sober-minded and have given up his illusions, or he may be arrogant and arrogant, like Locks, who thinks he can become the 'king of the world.'"

However, the territory and power he is sitting on cannot be ignored. The members of his command are also unlikely to accept that they will follow a man who still bears the name of 'pirate'. ”

"Yes, Dragon, our revolutionary army is an example."

Ivankov couldn't help but glance back, but saw only lightning.

Lightning shook his head at him, signaling that everything was safe on all sides, and he turned around.

"With so many soldiers, so many countries overthrown, and the spirit of revolution preaching, can we still expect the world government not to target us?"

"The truth is, the world's governments and navies are reaching out to us."

"It's just a shame...... The headquarters of Valdigo, which we have been running for so long, was destroyed by the Navy. ”

"Obviously, everything is smooth in the four seas, but when we reach the hard bones of the Great Voyage, we will break our teeth."

"As the commander of the revolutionary army of the Great Route, I have a great responsibility."

The dragon shook his head.

"I can't blame you, you and Lightning have been imprisoned in the Great Underwater Prison before, and they can't directly command the Great Voyage Revolutionary Army. It's my problem, I didn't try to get you out earlier. ”

"Besides, the Great Voyage is full of CP organization's eyes, and our recent activities in Valdigo have been too frequent, and we have been found to have a stronghold, and there is no way to do it."

"The ones who led the army were the 'Peach Rabbit' Gion, the 'Green Cow' Wild Pasture, the 'Tea Dolphin' Jiaji, and a group of vice admirals of the Navy Headquarters."

"With such a lineup, I'm afraid we have to dispatch the strength of the entire revolutionary army to defeat them, not to mention that our forces are so scattered all over the world now."

"In the face of a large force of the enemy, it is wise to choose to retreat. It is the right way to temporarily transfer our people to the kingdom of Kamabaka and preserve the living force. ”

Ivankov understood this, but, when he understood, he couldn't help but sigh.

"Dragon, don't you feel unwilling?"

"Unwilling?"

"That's right, we started from the brave army, grew into the revolutionary army, infiltrated the great shipping route from all over the world, but we have been drifting around, and there are not many fixed strongholds and territories."

"I finally settled down in Valdigo, but I was raided by the navy and destroyed."

"Contrary to us, it only took a few years for 'that person' to rise?"

"You look at him, from Fish-Man Island, to Punk Hazard Island, to Silent Island, then to Sphinx Island (home of Whitebeard), Bloodthirsty Island, the Kingdom of Dressrosa, and finally the Land of Wano."

"Two of the 'Old Four Emperors' fell into his hands, one of the 'Old Three Great Generals' died at his hands, and one surrendered to him, and the 'Old Seven Martial Seas' also surrendered and died, and some stayed away from right and wrong."

"Now that he's even going to build a deep-sea empire, isn't that even more dazzling than what we've done in more than twenty years?"

The dragon didn't really want to answer the question, but he couldn't ignore the thoughts of the veteran of the revolutionary army who had been imprisoned in the deep sea prison for many years.

"Seeing him raise the Zhu Tower, seeing him feasting guests, seeing his building collapse...... Ivankov, be patient, the path of 'that person' is not right. ”

"He's building an empire, and we're doing a revolutionary cause, helping people to be truly free, and it's clear to whom the hearts and minds will ultimately turn."

"I admit that he is the key person who changed the fate of the world, but his problem is also that the light is too bright, and he has absorbed the firepower of the world government."

"It's not going to work, it's not the right time yet, the world government is already going downhill, there's no need to jump out now, we will have a chance to fight back."

Ivankov was a little dissenting, and his tone was even a little sharp.

"It's really not feasible to go head-to-head, and sometimes it's important to avoid it, but we can't gather more strong people without fighting a few tough battles and letting the world see our strength."

"We have always been scattered around the world, helping people rebel against tyranny, and then allowing them to build new worlds on their own. The advantage of this is that our guerrilla tactics were successful. ”

"The downside, however, is that once we leave, do their kingdom armies have enough strength to protect themselves? Because of such concerns, we have been forced to disperse our forces. ”

"On the other hand, under the Deep Sea Empire, the Kingdom of Ryugu, the Kingdom of Jerma, the Kingdom of Dressrosa, the Kingdom of Dongtata, the Kingdom of Prodeens, the Kingdom of Wano, and the Kingdom of Totlan, ......"

Ivankov's wealth also proves that he has been following the news of that group of people.

"These countries all have their own 'powers', such as deep-sea routes, shipbuilding, scientific research, trade and entertainment, agriculture, forestry, animal husbandry and fishery, forging technology, desserts and pastries, ......"

"The Deep Sea Empire shelters them, and they are also feeding back to the Deep Sea Empire, forming a positive cycle."

"And we, we can't occupy the territory, those post-revolutionary kingdoms can't protect themselves, they still need our help, we can't gather more powerful warriors, we are always exhausted ......"

Ivankov let out a long sigh.

"Dragon, my suggestion is that in the Paradise section of the Great Voyage, you should overthrow several bad kingdoms in one go, as a model, and then declare war on the Celestial Dragons."

"We want more people in the world to know about our existence, understand our philosophy, and gather more people who share the same aspirations, instead of staying in a world where public opinion is manipulated by the world government."

"We are already wanted by the world government, and what we do is revolutionary, are we afraid of greater pressure? If the flag is not erected, who wants to follow us? ”

"Revolution, revolution, whose life are we going to change, how will we build a new world after the revolution, what kind of new world will we build?"

"Although we ourselves know it, I am afraid that not many people in the world know."

The dragon's brow furrowed, and he groaned for a while before answering Ivankov.

"Let me think again. This decision is not so easy to make......"

"Once that's done, we'll have to gather a few other army commanders and concentrate our forces...... If it fails, it is the total annihilation. ”

Ivankov stretched his large face to the dragon's side, his eyes wide with heavy eyeshadow.

"It won't be wiped out, at least there will be a spark of hope...... What's more, the battle hasn't been fought yet, and we won't lose. ”

"Didn't you say that? In fact, the hearts of the people are on the side of the revolution, but no one can make a powerful call to unite them. ”

"It's not that they don't want to resist, but they rely on themselves, and it is impossible for them to succeed in rebellion, and they need to see 'real hope'."

The dragon nodded, and suddenly remembered something.

"Ivankov, how is Robin?"

"She's fine." Ivankov replied, "A while ago, she went with Saab to overthrow a kingdom that had many ruins, and she was very interested in it. ”

"In the morning, I had already contacted Saab to confirm their safety and inform them of the situation here. They will take a long detour, and when the time comes, they will meet in the kingdom of Kamabaka. ”

"That's good. Robin must not fall into the hands of the World Government, and tells Sabo to protect her. ”

"Speaking of hope, she is also our hope."

——

At the beginning of February, there was still a week left before the founding ceremony of the Deep Sea Empire.

David Jones has returned to the heart of the rising Deep-Sea Empire, the Horror Ghost Island.

He stood in front of the clear window on the third floor of the Mansion of the Horrors, staring silently at the endless stream of streets below.

"Your Majesty."

Vincemock Gadge's scientific research institute is near the Horror Ghost Island, and he rushed here as soon as he heard the news of David Jones' return.

He now has a bounty of 1.2 billion Baileys, ranking 16th in the entire Deep Sea Empire, the previous one is King Neptune of the Dragon Palace Kingdom, who also has a bounty of 1.2 billion Baileys.

"I'll admit that Bucky is funny, and he has some crazy blast art that inspires me a lot."

"Thousand Lianghua" Bucky was standing next to him, and when he heard Gaji boasting himself in front of David Jones, he couldn't help but touch his red nose triumphantly and smiled.

"No, no, no, average, hahaha......"

Bucky, one of the Omen Commanders with a bounty of 1,745 million Baileys, is now ranked 10th in the Deep Sea Empire.

Theoretically, all of the Omen Commanders are equal, Klockdahl and Jinping are slightly higher, and the ranking of the bounty is just a quantified evaluation of their danger by the outside world.

"So what?"

David Jones turned slowly, his black robe swaying with his figure like a rolling cloud.

Bucky stopped laughing, and as if he was nothing, he quietly moved to the side, keeping Captain David Jones' eyes focused on Gaji.

Gaji twisted his upturned black beard with some shame and some pride.

"Your Majesty, the Jerma Institute needs more research funds, and we want to transform the artillery shell so that its range, accuracy, explosive yield, etc., have ushered in a qualitative leap."

Before David Jones could answer, the sound of high heels sounded next to him.

Arlita stood beside them, her hands clasped to her chest, her expression dissatisfied.

The only female commander of the Omen, with a bounty of 2.54 billion Baileys, is currently ranked 7th in the Empire.

"King Gaji, you should remember that you have cried to us almost every month about your lack of funds, and we have met your needs as best we can."

Gaji spread his hands helplessly, he didn't dare to clash with this "white-hat girl" who had the right to allocate funds to him on behalf of His Majesty the Deep Sea Hades.

He looked at Bucky, who knew that this promised "ally", but at this time he was holding the back of his head with his hands and whistling at the ceiling, looking like he didn't care about himself.

It's unreliable.

Gaji had no choice but to come by himself.

"Science burns money with a purpose, but it also pays off handsomely."

"'Modified Weapons', 'Second-Generation Clone Legion', and 'Second-Generation Big Mac Legion' are all in mass production, and this is the contribution of the Jerma Institute......"

Arrita raised her hand to stop the cookie-cutter rambling that Gaji was about to begin, she was all too familiar with Gaji's words.

"No one ignores the merits of you and your men, it's just that all sides of the empire need to spend money, and the support for the Germa Institute is quite large relative to them."

"You're holding the big head, and the feedback is big head, and that's a good thing. However, it is still necessary to take into account the functioning of the empire, and it is impossible to put all the money into your bottomless pit in one go. ”

Gaji understood the situation, too, and he slumped on the couch like a deflated ball.

Now that Yarrita has finished singing White Face, it's time for David Jones to come out and sing Red Face.

"'Shell modification' is still very necessary, just as 'ship modification' is important. We can treat the two in a similar way. ”

Gaji heard a new hope from David Jones, and he couldn't help but sit up straight and stand up again.

"What do you mean?"

"We can sell the old sailing ships and old weapons that are about to be obsolete, and the wealth we get back can be used as funds for the Jerma Institute."

Gaji opened his mind under the guidance of David Jones, his eyes widening and flashing with greed under the visor that covered the upper half of his face.

"That's the truth. For example, if a certain weapon has developed to the third and fourth generations, as long as it is not a core secret, the first generation can be sold at a premium! ”

"When buyers see our fourth generation, they want to keep buying, and when we get to the fifth generation, we can sell them to the second generation, and so ......on."

Yarrita raised her white swan-like neck slightly, and shook the black wavy bangs in front of her forehead.

"It's not that simple."

"Your Majesty, I think that the sellers selected should be carefully selected. What we can arm ourselves with is our 'friends', that is, the 'non-member states of the world government' around the empire. ”

"If they want to get better weapons and technology, they need to form an alliance with us and provide different levels of 'goods' according to their relationship."

"In this way, we can firmly unite and develop our allies."

"On top of that, it's going to be a very hard blow to their own scientific research department, and it cuts the threat they could pose in the future."

"Most importantly, they will be a problem for the world government and the member countries."

Yarrita didn't continue to think outside the box.

However, both David Jones and Gaji understood and knew that it would allow the Deep Sea Empire to establish absolute superiority for the first ten years, if not decades.

That's enough.
