One Piece: I Am the Revolutionary Army

[Long's joining is undoubtedly good news for the Roya team.]

[The strength of Dragon, Bear, and Ivankov are all outstanding, effectively making up for their shortcomings at the level of strong men.]

[In this world where the power of an individual is enough to overthrow the military, in addition to basic armed forces, the influence of the strong is immeasurable.]

[“Is our goal this time to cross the Calm Belt instead of heading to the Red Earth Continent?” After an afternoon of sailing, Long noticed something strange and asked with doubts.

[“Let your people transfer to our ship.” Xia Ya gave a decisive order.]

[Although Long had doubts, he still quickly carried out the order and arranged for some personnel to return by boat, while the rest boarded Roya's ship.]

[Then, as Long looked on in amazement, the hulls of the paddle wheel warship rose up on both sides, revealing the huge paddle wheels embedded on both sides of the hull, and it sailed straight into the doldrums as if breaking through the waves.

[“This is our latest developed ship, which can effectively drive away sea kings and achieve direct crossing of the doldrums.” Nagli explained with a smile on his face.]

[Long and the other two showed great interest in the paddle wheel warship, as if they were seeing it for the first time.]

[They are all very wise and know what the birth of this paddle wheel warship portends. It is undoubtedly a great invention with epoch-making significance and its value is immeasurable.]

[The warriors steer the ship at night, while Taihu uses his abilities to drive the ship forward during the day.]

[Running day and night at full speed, Roya only took five days to cross the new world and rush back to Research Base No. 1 from O'Hara.]

[At this moment, the No. 1 Research Base has begun the construction of the sea train, but Luo Ya has no time to care about the progress of the train project.]

[After returning to the Research Base No. 1, Luo Ya immediately summoned Kong Yin.]

[“Has something happened to Frevans?” Although Kong Yin had not yet obtained any relevant information about Frevans, he quickly made an accurate judgment.]

[“Has the antidote been developed successfully?” Luo Ya asked.]

[“There is only one possible direction, which is to neutralize the platinum lead toxins in the body through special reactions, but it is still in the research stage and has not yet been successfully developed.” Quinn responded honestly.]

[Platinum lead is not a simple disease, but metal poisoning, and the toxins penetrate deeply into the human body and can even affect the life span of the next generation. It is extremely difficult to deal with, and even Quinn, an expert in this field, finds it difficult.]

[He is a scientist, after all, whose specialty is creating weapons of destruction, not medical treatments.]

[“Then bring all your research data on platinum and lead toxicity and come with me to solve this problem.” Luo Ya decided to intervene personally.]

[“Yes, Boss.” Quinn, as the most obedient member of this group of scientists, followed Roya’s instructions.]

[He is purely devoted to scientific research. As long as Roya provides sufficient financial support, he can concentrate on research. This is completely different from Jiazhi who is keen on restoring his country, Bajin who is unpredictable, and Caesar who often stirs up trouble.]

[After arranging for Quinn, Roya found Mr. Tom again.]

[“The remaining ones plus the fifteen new ones built.” Tom reported truthfully.]

[Paddlewheel warships are mostly used to disguise as merchant fleets. The economic self-sufficiency of the base has always been the core of Roya's attention. In addition, the focus of recent work has shifted to the construction of sea trains, so the speed of the dock's construction of paddlewheel warships has slowed down.]

[“Mr. Tom, please try to recruit more apprentices to further expand the scale of the shipyard.” Luo Ya suggested.]

[The dock size still needs to be increased, and demand will only continue to grow in the future.]

["Got it." Tom nodded seriously.]

[Roya then dispatched personnel and drove the fifteen existing paddle-wheel warships in the dock to head towards several other bases.]

[Koshiro has been waiting at the port for a long time. Behind him stand about 10,000 revolutionary soldiers. These people were once the uprising workers of the Kingdom of Lubni.]

[During the Lubni Kingdom period, they lacked formal military training, but after training on several islands in the doldrums, they had initially completed their formation and training.]

[Compared to before, their eyes appear more resolute and determined.]

[“Get on board.” Luo Ya looked at the soldiers below. Without further ado, more than 10,000 soldiers boarded the paddle wheel warship in an orderly manner.]

[Roya did not need to give a passionate speech to boost morale, because after the Lubni Kingdom left the team, the original team leaders of the union had become the core of the team. After receiving orders from their superiors, they actively mobilized the soldiers and explained in detail the goals and significance of each combat mission.]

[Every soldier clearly understands his mission and the significance of everything he does.]

[“What an army of steel.” Ivankov couldn’t help but exclaim.]

[He had seen many armies, including the royal guards of various countries and even the most complete and largest navy, but he was keenly aware that there was a significant gap between those armies and the team under Roya in some aspects.]

[That indescribable quality is like an invisible belief, which makes this army show a silent and firm spirit, consistent and unswerving.]

[“That’s because they have faith in their hearts and know why they are fighting.” Koshiro stood beside Ivankov and explained gently.]

[Koushirou has been in charge of teaching these soldiers combat skills during this period, and he is more familiar with the military training philosophy that Roa has adhered to since the Kingdom of Goa.]

[The soldiers were made clear about what they were fighting for. After understanding this, these former slave workers showed amazing enthusiasm.]

[“Hello, I’m Ivankov.” Ivankov felt that this gentle man with glasses was extraordinary.]

[“Koshiro.” Koshiro responded with a smile.]

[He always maintains this gentleness, and his eyes behind his round-framed glasses always seem to be half-closed. Although he is young, he gives people the impression of a gentle and elegant middle-aged man.]

[The entire army sets sail, heading for Frevans.]

[In the evening, Roya held a combat meeting in the cabin.]

[In addition to Roya himself, the participants also include old members of the Revolutionary Army such as Fujitora, Nagli, Koshiro, Jimmy, and high-ranking officials of the Self-Defense Forces such as Ryu, Ivankov, and Kuma.]

[“Will our massive march to Freifans exacerbate the already tense situation there?” Long was the first to raise the question.]

[“This is just a precautionary measure to prevent war. Before approaching Frevans, we will separate from the main force and then quietly enter Frevans to collect intelligence.”]

[“Don’t you have connections in Frevans? Can’t you contact them in advance?” Long asked.]

[“Actually, a few days ago, my companions found some traces of suspected CP members. Since we lacked the White Telephone Mushi for secure communication, in order to avoid eavesdropping, we have cut off contact. Some things can only be communicated on the spot.” Luo Ya explained.]

[His confrontation with the CP organization had already begun during the Coal and Iron City period.]

[Soon after Frevans fell into chaos, the soldiers he sent to Frevans discovered a number of suspected CP spies.]

[“At present, the intelligence we have shows that the people of Frevans have lost control due to the stimulation of platinum lead disease, and have completely broken off with the nobles and royal family for unknown reasons.” Roya spread out the map he had drawn in Frevans.]

[“We must consider the possibility of war breaking out, look at this map
