The pirates sat and forgot, and they really believed the nine truths and one lie.

When the devastating poisonous rain enveloped the entire airspace, threatening to destroy the revolutionary army's giant ship, the dragon standing at the bow of the ship flashed a glint in his eyes, signaling the critical moment when he would take action.

The gentle airflow around him, which had originally been used to support the ship, suddenly became violent, and a terrifying hurricane, visible to the naked eye, spiraled upwards, soaring into the sky from his center.

Huhuhu——! ! !

This hurricane contained a power that seemed capable of tearing the sky apart. It precisely met the cascading curtain of poisonous rain. The deadly venom, strong enough to corrode metal, was forcibly shattered and dispersed by the irresistible rotating force the moment it came into contact with the raging wind wall.

The poisonous rain deviated from its original trajectory and eventually turned into harmless water vapor, while the remaining portion of the poisonous rain was thrown far away.

The sky above the revolutionary army's giant ship was instantly cleared.

Dragon clearly had no interest in cleaning up the mess left by Magellan's rampage for the World Government. The moment he dispelled the threat above his head, he didn't even glance at the monster below that was still roaring madly and spitting venom.

With a thought, the giant ship beneath his feet was enveloped by an even stronger updraft and began to accelerate towards the higher clouds, quickly moving away from this perilous sea area.

Hannibal and Saludes lay weakly on the ship's side, gazing at the terrifying, venomous monster below, its form gradually shrinking as it floated in the poisonous sea, their eyes filled with complex emotions.

Once upon a time, he was the warden they revered and followed, a symbol of Impel Down's unshakeable authority. Now, however, he had fallen to such a wretched state, neither human nor ghost, and a sense of profound loss and regret welled up in their hearts.

At the same time, they felt unprecedented confusion and unease about their future as prisoners of the revolutionary army, and the revolutionary army would definitely make a fuss about them.

Ivankov noticed that the dragon's gaze seemed to always glance unintentionally in the direction of the Sabaody Archipelago, with a hint of undisguised concern in his eyes.

He couldn't help but lean closer and ask curiously, "Dragon, are there people in the archipelago that you can't let go of?"

Dragon didn't hide anything, his gaze still fixed on that direction, and he replied in a low, calm voice, "My son is there, Luffy is fighting the Five Elders."

"What?! Luffy is fighting the Five Elders?!"

Ivankov's huge eyes widened instantly, and his voice rose eight octaves, "Then what are we waiting for? Let's hurry up and help him! He's one of the Five Elders; the celestial canopy has already described how they can turn into monsters."

Long remained silent for a moment before slowly turning his head. His gaze swept over the deck of survivors who had narrowly escaped the chaos, but most of them were still wounded and poisoned, looking listless.

Their eyes were vacant and their breaths were weak, making them look like they needed immediate medical attention. How could they save people with all these burdens? I reckon one of the Five Elders' Conqueror's Haki alone could kill most of them!

"What should I do if I go to help those people?"

The dragon's voice carried a hint of unspoken heaviness: "Luffy has chosen a different path from mine. He will not join the Revolutionary Army. His adventures, his dreams, his path are for him to walk alone."

At this point, a rare hint of regret and helplessness, as a father, was revealed in Dragon's tone. He was unable to protect his son and had to watch Luffy face danger alone. In the end, the three of them embarked on three completely different paths.

As the giant ship climbed to an altitude of ten thousand meters and completely escaped the dangerous airspace, Ivankov looked at Long's determined profile and finally just sighed deeply, no longer insisting.

He changed the subject and asked, "Dragon, where are we going next?"

The dragon composed himself, regaining his usual calm, and replied indifferently, "Go back to your Kamabakka Kingdom first."

"As the leader of the revolutionary army, I have been considering relocating our headquarters. Our original base is too barren and supplies are difficult to obtain. We need to find a more suitable island as a new base for the revolutionary army..."

Upon hearing that the Revolutionary Army might move to his hometown, Ivankov beamed with joy, his enormous body twitching excitedly: "Great! A warm welcome! It would be perfect if the transvestites and the Revolutionary Army lived together, looking out for each other."

He knew the revolutionary army's discipline and principles well, and would never force his transvestite subjects, who only pursued freedom and happiness, to join the organization. They could live in harmony and resist foreign invasion together.

Meanwhile, on the Clown Pirates' side, the people standing on the back of the Black Dragon Acnologia were slightly surprised by the dragon's decisive retreat.

"They ran away quite decisively," Kokushibo's Observation Haki had already sensed that the Revolutionary Army's giant ship was dozens of nautical miles away and was still accelerating away.

He glanced indifferently at the venomous monster below, which was still unleashing its final frenzy. He felt nothing. Cleaning up this mess was a headache for the Navy and the World Government, not for them, the pirates.

The moment the poisonous rain erupted, the fastest-reacting Level 6 criminals with the strongest Observation Haki, such as the lone red Redfield, had already transformed into a red shadow thanks to their unpredictable perception and speed.

He rushed out of the poisonous rain's coverage area ahead of time and disappeared without a trace, causing Kokushibo to frown inwardly. This old guy's Observation Haki and escape skills were indeed unparalleled.

Those who reacted more slowly or were more seriously injured were not so lucky!

Acnologia let out a deep dragon roar, its huge black dragon wings flapped violently, and its massive body instantly tore through the air, appearing in front of the Great Barrel and the Evil King, who were frantically trying to avoid the poisonous rain, with almost teleportation speed.

Without giving them any chance to speak or resist, the black dragon's giant claws, capable of crushing mountains, shot out like lightning, as if grabbing a chick. The two pirates didn't even have time to scream.

They were instantly stunned by the hidden force contained in the dragon's claws, and the next moment, they were casually thrown onto the black dragon's broad back like two bags of garbage.

Following the same method, Acnologia's enormous dragon eyes coldly scanned the battlefield, and he precisely seized two or three other LEVEL 6 pirates who were in a sorry state in the poisonous rain but still had considerable strength. He knocked them unconscious and threw them onto his back.

The Clown Pirates have had a very fruitful time. They rescued Bullet, captured a group of promising young executives, and provided Orochimaru with plenty of experimental material. Perhaps this will help him overcome the challenges of Devil Fruits and allow more Devil Fruit users to emerge from the crew.

Losing its target, the skeletal poison monster stopped its loud shouting. Unable to reach the flying black dragon, it drifted towards Marineford, guided by the special ocean currents.
