G10 branch, base director's office.
Boom, boom, boom!
"Come in."
After receiving a response, Dongte opened the door, saluted and said: "Report, all members of the Straw Hat Pirates have been arrested!"
"Thank you Dongte."
Ron nodded, chewed on his cigar and raised his eyebrows: "Then what?"
"She said she wanted to see you, Lieutenant General!"
Dongte replied and moved away, revealing Nami who was bowing her head silently behind her and holding a straw hat in her hand.
The base director's office is very grand. In order to accommodate various non-human heights and prevent the entire G10 base from looking up in front of his colleagues, Ron occupied the entire top floor and carried out a luxurious transformation.
There is no other layout on this floor except the necessary utility room and fire escape.
Nami sat on the sofa in the middle, keeping a distance of more than ten meters from Ron behind the desk, which was quite wide.
"Tea or juice?"
"I... I'm free."
Ron nodded and waved, and the silver tray automatically filled a glass of juice and floated in front of Nami.
"Then juice will be fine. It's difficult to replenish vitamins while sailing at sea. Drinking more is good for your skin."
"Speaking of which, Kebi will be arriving soon. You can stay here for a while and explain to him why you left in the first place."
Upon hearing this name, Nami's expression darkened.
Why leave
She could have confidently answered that she was tricked by pirates and kidnapped on a pirate ship.
But after these few months of getting along, she found that she had no excuse to deceive herself.
She yearned for the sea and enjoyed the joy of sailing... Especially the days with them were more joyful than her life in the past ten years combined.
Even without Luffy, she would still embark on a journey to draw a map of the world.
"Thank you for your hard work during this time, Nami."
"I will apply for a commendation for you from above in my name. After all, the Marshal's identity is too important. This obvious stain cannot be carried."
Ron laughed self-deprecatingly: "And I don't care, after all..."
After all, he is Navy Soryu, a monster who is considered a demon by pirates and can stop children from crying at night.
His level of insidiousness makes all three existing emperors extremely fearful.
Of course, as we all know, in the eyes of Soryu himself, that is called self-defense! ! !
"Yes... yes?"
Nami laughed in agreement, then continued silently.
In response, Ron narrowed his eyes slightly and said in relief.
"Don't worry, if you are worried about their safety, don't worry."
"No matter what outsiders think, the marshal will definitely let them go for the sake of Lieutenant General Garp."
"As long as they don't act like pirates, they're safe."
Yes, as long as you don't become a pirate... But will they agree
Nami's eyes lit up, she stood up and nodded firmly.
"I will convince them, Lieutenant General, don't worry!"
"Yeah, I got it."
"I will notify the following to give you access rights. If you can do your best, otherwise the marshal will definitely use coercion and inducement and use some unclean means to force them to submit."
Ah autumn!
Far away in Marineford, Warring States rubbed his nose and looked around suspiciously.
There are always unscrupulous people who want to harm me!
After a moment, he put away his thoughts and looked at the files on the desktop with a headache.
The fifth one. This is the fifth one this year!
Why didn't we find in previous years that rookie pirates could do this? In less than a year after going to sea, he posted a reward of over 100 million in the first half. Isn't he a supernova among pirates
There weren’t so many in previous years!
"When will these miserable days end?"
Rubbing his temples, Zeng Guo felt tired.
"I really want to retire, I really want to go fishing..."
"Okay, so be it."
In the g10 branch office, Ron shook off the cigarette ashes and said, "I can see that you are in pain, but I hope you will think clearly about what to do for everyone, Nami."
"This is how life is, you need to keep making choices to move forward."
"What we can do is not regret every decision we make."
Nami left in silence. Watching her back go away, Ron paused for a moment and knocked on the table.
"Then what? Are you sure the Revolutionary Army has received the message?"
"Of course, because... he is right under my nose."
It's right under my nose!
In a corner warehouse of the g10 branch, Dongte sat on the beam, his whole body hidden in the dark corner.
Below, a suspicious-looking naval soldier was taking out a phone bug and reporting something in a low voice in an inaudible voice.
"Very good, let's spread the bait now and wait for the fish to take the bait."
Ron smiled slightly, grinning, revealing his sharp white teeth.
Everything must be done with two plans. Under his calculation, the revolutionary army is about to face a heavy blow second only to the loss of Dorag!
…
In the first part of the plot, the Straw Hats only encountered two situations where they were completely unable to resist. The first time was in Rogue Town.
"White Hunter" Smoker's Smoke Fruit was a soul-level challenge to the Straw Hat Pirates at the time, so Drago, who came to witness his son going to sea, was forced to take action, allowing Luffy to successfully escape.
The second time was in the Chambord Islands.
Because he defeated the Celestial Dragons, he was hunted down by the general Kizaru and the pacifist PX-3 in the original work. Hell-level difficulty!
Still to protect them, the bear had no choice but to show up, beat them away one by one, and give them his last heart before he was transformed and lost himself.
Two crises, two attacks, even letting the bear die in advance.
It is enough to show that the Revolutionary Army pays attention to the Straw Hats.
Ron believed that as long as the Revolutionary Army knew about the arrest of the Straw Hats, no matter what their real reason for helping the Straw Hats was, they would not turn a blind eye.
And the most important point is that now the enemy is overt and we are in the dark!
Dorag was arrested early, so that everything that was supposed to happen in Rogge Town did not happen. The Straw Hats, who had just arrived on Gaya Island, had no chance to go to Shampoo to complete the plot.
Therefore, in the eyes of the Revolutionary Army, their attention to the Straw Hats is invisible and non-existent.
He never imagined that Ron's real target would be them.
"I don't have much prejudice against the revolutionary army. On the contrary, I actually admire you guys who dare to stand up and resist, Dorag."
Standing in front of the office window, Ron looked towards Impel City and muttered to himself.
"But, I also want to do what you want to do, and I can even do it better than you."
"You're blocking my way!"
It is impossible for Ron to reveal his true thoughts to Dorag. Everything Dorag knows about him is only based on inference.
Some people may think that after all is said and done, the two sides can actually cooperate.
but…
One is for righteousness and the other is for himself. They have different starting points. How can they understand each other
Ultimately it's a matter of trust.
The Revolutionary Army will not believe that the supreme power of Ron will not be the next world government.
Ron would not even believe in the Revolutionary Army. After setting off the uprising, the Grassroots Army knew how to rule the world.
Therefore, in Ron's eyes, the value of utilization of the Revolutionary Army is far greater than the value of cooperation.
"What you and Roger did was light a fire and let the fire spread."
"But the reason why fire is called fire... is that it can be easily extinguished!"
In an instant, a strong wind blew up.
Thick dark clouds covered the sky. Thunder snakes danced among the lightning and thunder, and a terrifying and depressing atmosphere enveloped the entire G10 branch.
Looking at the accumulation of cumulus clouds in the sky, Ron raised the corners of his mouth.
"Is it a once-in-a-hundred-year giant updraft current?"
"It's a pity that this time, you are destined to become a foil."
