One Piece: Starting as a Marine Lieutenant, I Slack Off and Get Stronger

At this point, Nami couldn't help but blurt out, "So, the reward and all that was just a lie?"

"Haha, of course not. The Adventurers' Guild wouldn't allow that to happen. We've already paid the reward in advance. As long as Vivi announces that your mission is complete, you can collect your reward from any Adventurers' Guild."

Zoro, who had been deep in thought, suddenly brightened up and looked up at Sabo: "Now that we're here, what is your ultimate goal?"

"Haha, you guessed it? Then I won't keep you in suspense any longer." Sabo looked at Luffy and said seriously, "Luffy, your father wants to see you."

"Eh!!!"

Everyone was shocked, including Luffy himself.

"Sabo, you mean my...father? But I don't know him."

Well, very well, the reasons are quite valid. It has to be said that the parenting concepts in the One Piece world are indeed a bit problematic.

Even though Luffy knew that his father was the famous revolutionary Dragon, he didn't feel any emotional fluctuation. After all, Dragon was just a name and a stranger to him.

In short, there are no ties.

"Hey Luffy, although Mr. Dragon isn't a perfect father, he has indeed been quietly watching over you as you grow up. Go talk to him! After all, he's still your biological father, isn't he?"

The thought of meeting a father who was practically a stranger gave Luffy a headache: "But, what about Vivi..."

Sabo smiled and said, "You don't need to worry about that. Mr. Dragon is in Albana right now. Once you get there, you'll be able to see Vivi."

Since Sabo had said so, Luffy had no reason to hesitate and immediately agreed, "Alright, let's go to Albana now."

Two hours later.

"Luffy, Sanji, Nami!!!"

"Weiwei!!!"

Sanji charged ahead, and with a bang, he appeared before Vivi, knelt on one knee, and looked at her with deep affection: "Vivi, my queen, it's been so long! You've become more and more beautiful!"

bang!

Nami punched Sanji away, then hugged Vivi: "Thank goodness, Vivi, I missed you so much!"

"I've missed you all so much! Please come in and have a seat! I've prepared a sumptuous feast to welcome you."

"Wuhu~"

At the banquet, the Straw Hat crew reminisced with Vivi and learned about the background of her becoming queen, which made them all furious.

"The World Government has gone too far! Vivi, don't worry, we will definitely avenge you! We cannot let Mr. Cobra die in vain."

Vivi smiled and said, "I'm very happy to have your help, but defeating the World Government won't be that easy."

"So, you led the people of Alabasta to join the ranks of the revolutionaries?" Robin's question hit the nail on the head.

Vivi paused for a moment, then smiled and said, "Yes, after my father died, I saw through the true nature of the World Government. So, I decided to join the ranks of revolutionaries and try to overthrow the World Government to give my father an explanation."

Robin frowned: "The World Government's power is far more than it appears on the surface. What are the revolutionaries planning to do?"

"The revolutionaries are all ready and just waiting for the call to launch the final offensive. Robin, we need your help."

Dragon stepped out from the corner, his eyes fixed intently on Robin.

Everyone present was stunned; it was the first time they had ever seen the legendary Revolutionary Chief, Luffy's...father.

Dragon took off his hood and looked at Luffy.

"Luffy, you've grown up..."

Chapter 372 Dragon's Plans

Luffy looked at Dragon with a complicated expression, but didn't say anything.

He didn't know what to say. As everyone knows, Luffy has never seen his parents since birth. Only his grandfather has been with him, and his grandfather is always busy with official duties and can only come to visit him during his vacation.

Therefore, Luffy doesn't really have a concept of his father's existence. If he really had to have a father, he would say Shanks is more like his father.

Finally, Robin broke the deadlock: "Mr. Dragon, what is the Revolutionary Army's plan? How should I cooperate?"

Robin had a rough idea of ​​what was going on. After all, they had been to Laugh Tale and knew what had happened during the Void Century, so the Revolutionary Army's objective was obvious.

Seeing that Luffy didn't react, Dragon felt a little guilty, but he didn't care too much. He didn't expect to be able to persuade Luffy to help him fight against the World Government just because of a father-son relationship that was only nominal.

"Arriving at Laugh Tale means you have learned the truth of history. My goal is to reveal the truth of history to the public and completely bring the Celestial Dragons down from their pedestal."

"Then, launch a full-scale attack on Mary Geoise..."

The purpose of this move was to create the right timing and the right people, that is, to sound the clarion call for the general offensive, to strengthen the belief of the revolutionary soldiers, and to decide whether or not the outcome would depend on this.

"Robin, you are a survivor of Ohara, you can read the Poneglyphs, and you are the best person to expose the dark rule of the World Government. As the Chief of the Revolutionary Army, I formally invite you to join our ranks and clear the names of all scholars in Ohara!!!"

Hehehe~ Robin clenched his fists, then relaxed and smiled: "I am willing to cooperate with the Revolutionary Army's actions, Mr. Dragon."

Dragon breathed a sigh of relief: "Great, you won't regret it, Miss Robin."

Then, Dragon looked at Luffy: "Luffy, I hope you can help me too."

Luffy touched his straw hat: "Why?"

"Because as long as the Revolutionary Army overthrows the World Government, we can negotiate with the Navy to release Shanks."

Luffy's eyes lit up immediately: "Is that true?"

"Of course, I have already confirmed this with the naval hero Karl. As long as you come to help us, we will definitely be able to defeat the World Government."

Because Luffy is the modern-day Joy Boy, he is destined to bring liberation to the world. Although Dragon doesn't believe in fate, Luffy's powerful fighting strength cannot be ignored.

bang~

Luffy slammed his hand on the table and shouted happily, "I promise you, as long as Shanks can be rescued!"

Luffy was secretly delighted. He thought that after his defeat, he would never have another chance to rescue Shanks, but unexpectedly, just when he thought he had reached the end of the road, a new path opened up for him.

Shanks, just wait a little longer! We'll see each other again soon!!!

The Straw Hat crew was completely dumbfounded. Luffy had been far too hasty! To agree to something as big as rebelling against the World Government so readily... that's really something else... Luffy!

"Hahaha, that's great, Luffy! We can fight side by side again!" Sabo excitedly hugged Luffy, overjoyed.

Upon seeing this, Dragon smiled faintly and looked towards Mary Geoise.

World Government, revolutionaries are ready, are you?

A few days later, a news article titled "A Blank Century" circulated on the sea, written by Nicole Robin.

The article begins with a self-introduction, recounting the events of the O'Hara incident and the author's later identity, in order to demonstrate the credibility of the article.

Then it explains what happened during the blank century.

As a historian, Robin presented his account objectively, without deliberately smearing the World Government. He simply recreated the history that the World Government had tried so hard to hide, for the world to judge.

However, this article still caused a huge uproar at sea.

All of this was within the revolutionary army's expectations, and they immediately issued a "decisive battle notice" to the world.

Ten days from now, they will attack Mary Geoise on schedule. We sincerely invite all those with aspirations to join them, overthrow the corrupt and dark world government, and restore a bright and sunny world for all people!

Naval Headquarters, Marinevandor.

Kuzan threw the Revolutionary Army's declaration of a decisive battle into the trash can, walked out the window, and looked at the bustling navy in the square with a furrowed brow.

The Revolutionary Army is about to engage in a decisive battle with the World Government. The Navy may not participate, but it absolutely cannot remain indifferent.

Because the World Government possesses the Ancient Weapon: Uranus, a devastating weapon.

As clearly explained in "The Lost Hundred Years," the World Alliance relied on the power of Uranus to destroy Joy Boy's "ideal state," achieving final victory. Then, the 20 victorious nations formed a world government.

Although Robin didn't go into detail about this part, it's clear from the few words she mentioned that Uranus possessed terrifying power.

Now, with Vegapunk, the modern-day "Joy Boy," and so many supporters, the Revolutionary Army has already gained an overwhelming advantage as long as the Navy doesn't side with the World Government.

Barring any unforeseen circumstances, the world government is destined to fail.

But that's the problem. What if the World Government gets desperate and can't afford to play anymore? Will they pull out Uranus as their trump card and drag the whole world, the World Government, and the Celestial Dragons down with them?

Despite Karl repeatedly saying there was nothing to worry about, Kuzan still felt it was necessary to guard against the World Government.

Sky Island, Kingdom of Women, Angel Beach.

shuh~

The silver fishing line danced in the air and fell into the white sea of ​​clouds. In no time, the fishing line snapped straight.

"Ah! It's hooked! Honey, pull! Pull!"

Carl nodded seriously, gathered his energy, and taking advantage of a moment when the fishing rod wasn't in sight, he suddenly lifted it, and a huge sky shark was flung out of the clouds and landed on Angel Beach.

"Hehe, aren't I awesome?"

Hancock nodded excitedly: "Yes, yes, my dear, you're amazing! Now it's my turn to submit!"

Carl scratched his head: "Okay, but you should still be careful."

"It's okay, the doctor said there's no need to worry too much. Appropriate exercise is actually good for the baby's development," said Ain in a lazy tone as she lay on the recliner basking in the sun.

Karl smiled and shook his head, then walked towards the pavilion to the side.

"Connie, give me a serving of empty coconuts. I'm so thirsty."

"Yes, Lord Karl, please wait a moment, I'll go pick them right away!"
