One Piece: I Am the Revolutionary Army

[At this moment of the duel, Mori could no longer intervene. Zefa and Long were extremely fast, and they were getting farther and farther away. With his huge body, he could not catch up at all.]

[Actually, this is not entirely due to Mori, but mostly due to the dragon. ]

[Although Mori moves slowly, he strikes quickly. After all, he possesses a powerful observation Haki.]

[At the beginning, if Long was interested in approaching this side, Mori could still join forces with Long. ]

[But from the beginning to the end, Long seemed to have forgotten that he had a teammate. With his strength, even if he was not as strong as Zefa, he was not completely powerless. ] [In this battle, he seemed to have found his goal. ]

[The fierce battle between the two sides continued.]

【Compared to Zephyr suppressing the dragon, the outcome of the port is already decided. 】

【“Ahem.”】

[Vice Admiral Duke of the Navy Headquarters half-knelt on the ground, the hair on his body retracted, and he returned to his human form. ]

[He coughed up a mouthful of blood. This lieutenant general who was in the same training camp as Kizaru and Akainu could no longer maintain the state of the devil fruit. ] ["So strong." Duke looked at the tall blind swordsman in front of him. ]

[This man's expression hardly changed from beginning to end. He was as calm as a mountain and unshakable.]

【These are the cadres of the revolutionary army.】

[Duke is very powerful, with his animal-type fruit and extraordinary physical skills, he is the best among the vice admirals of the Navy Headquarters. ]

[At present, he is the only one who remains conscious, the other two lieutenant generals have already fallen to the ground. ]

[“What on earth are you, the Revolutionary Army, thinking? Why are you starting a war in Shampoo Land?” Duke covered his chest. Due to his injuries and exhaustion, his body gradually lost support and was crushed to the ground by Fujitora’s gravity.]

[But he still tried to raise his face and asked Fujitora loudly. ]

[“You are wrong, Navy, we are not here to start a war.” Fujitora opened his eyes full of whites and looked at Duke on the ground. ]

[“We are here to liberate the disenfranchised slaves on this island.”]

[Duke looked directly into Fujitora's blind eyes, and felt an invisible pressure coming over him, not physically, but mentally.]

[“We should be the ones asking this question.” Nagli tapped off his cigarette ash, his sharp eyes hidden under his white eyebrows: “Is the navy here to protect these slave traders?”]

【“I don’t know.” The determined fighting spirit in Duke’s eyes dimmed at this moment. 】

[Due to the urgency of the situation, they only received one order, which was to guard the Sabaody Archipelago.]

[Except for Marshal Sengoku who gave the order and Mr. Zephyr who led the team, the lieutenant generals were not aware of the truth. ]

[Zeffa didn't say much.]

[Duke is an outlier in the navy, and he has his own justice. ]

[The captured navy soldiers of Frevans have made the Revolutionary Army have a good reputation among the middle and lower levels of the Navy Headquarters. ]

【As a senior lieutenant general, Duke has his own judgment. 】

[The revolutionary army had no need to deceive a defeated prisoner, and would not use lies that could be easily exposed.]

【The only explanation is that they really came to liberate the slaves. 】

【What the Navy did was to prevent them from doing this righteous act. 】

[“No matter what, it should be within the legal framework of the World Government.” Duke sighed.]

[“Law?” Nagli gave a sarcastic look.]

[The Revolutionary Army has carefully studied the laws of the World Government and found that they have no authority. To the nobles and pirates, the laws are meaningless.]

[This is true even for the World Government itself.]

[Fujitora was gentle in character. He did not laugh at me, but said calmly: "Slave trading is illegal. Many of these slave traders are pirates with bounties on their heads."]

[“But they still run a slave market in Shampoo, openly. The nearest lawless area is only a few hundred meters away from the naval base.”]

[“Because they can provide high-quality slaves to the Celestial Dragons, and because they pay the World Government, they can be so unscrupulous.”]

【Duke was completely silent, especially after hearing those shocking figures mentioned by Fujitora.】

[More than 10,000 slaves have been rescued from the island, and this is just in recent years.]

[The seriously injured Duke exhausted his last bit of strength and passed out.]

[Fujitora is preparing to take away these navy vice admirals who have lost their combat effectiveness. According to the original plan, they want to capture as many of these navy high-ranking officers as possible as bargaining chips.]

【Suddenly, the Den Den Mushi rings. 】

[“Is your battle over?”]

[Fujitora answered the call and it was Roya's voice that came through.]

[“Just finished, captured three vice admirals, and are preparing to go over.” Fujitora replied. ]

【Then, Fujitora was stunned by Roya's words. 】

[“You don’t need to bring those three lieutenant generals. Come to me immediately.”]

[Roya's voice was calm and steady, indicating that everything was still going according to plan, but this order obviously exceeded expectations.]

[After a brief moment of confusion, Fujitora immediately led Nagli and the others to evacuate.]

[Behind Nagli, Mihawk, who looked a little embarrassed, wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth. ]

[At only seventeen years old, although his domineering aura was immature, he defeated a vice admiral of the navy with his amazing swordsmanship. ]

[He wanted to follow, but was stopped by Nagli.]

[“Okay, kid, don’t get involved in what happens next. This is an internal matter of the Revolutionary Army.” Nagli said with a smile.]

[There is no need to hide what happened before, but Roya suddenly changed his plan, which may involve some sensitive content, which is not something Hawkeye should be involved in. ]

[Of course, if Hawkeye joins the Revolutionary Army, that would be another story.]

[After Nagli finished speaking, he quickly disappeared.]

[Zeffar's fight with the dragon took place at the mangrove clearing No. 23, a certain distance from the port.]

[When Fujitora and the others arrived, they saw Long being suppressed by Zephyr. ]

[Just as they expected, after all, he was the admiral, recognized as the top fighter on the sea. ]

[“Why not capture those vice admirals, Mr. Roya?” Ivankov asked.]

[“Don’t worry, this battle is almost over.” Luo Ya smiled and waved: “My guess seems to be coming true.”]

【“Hmm?” The others looked confused. 】

[Only Fujitora, who is good at sensing emotions, used his observation Haki to cover the battlefield and discovered some clues. ]

[On the battlefield, although Long was suppressed, his injuries were not serious. On the contrary, his momentum became stronger. ]

【After a moment, a moment. 】

[Zeff's seemingly insignificant mistake gave Long a chance to counterattack. ]

[He ignored Zephyr's fist that was coming straight at him, wrapped his Conqueror's Haki and Armament Haki around his fist, and punched Zephyr directly.]

【"Drague." Zefa was surprised when he saw this attack. 】

【boom! 】

[The huge shock wave turned into a storm that swept all around. ]

【The smoke and dust dissipated.】

【It was beyond everyone's expectations. 】

[Neither of them was seriously injured. Long punched Zefa on the side of the head, and Zefa did the same.]

[The two originally hostile parties actually showed mercy at this moment. ]

[“Why?” Ivankov rubbed his eyes, unable to comprehend the scene before him.]

[Zeff showed mercy, perhaps he reacted and stopped using his strength, could it be because of Long's father? ]

[But the dragon obviously deviated on purpose. It may not be obvious at first, but it becomes very obvious after it is launched. ]

[“It is true.” Luo Ya said with a smile.]

[There is a hint of excitement on his face.]

[“Why did you deliberately deviate?” Zefa asked, putting away his fist. ]

[“Because Uncle Zefa never intended to truly defeat me from the beginning.” Long said calmly: “A person’s will will be reflected in the battle, so I will not fail to notice it.”]

[At first, he felt nothing, but as the battle progressed, he could feel Zephyr's will more and more. This was not a battle between the generals to quickly suppress the Revolutionary Army and maintain the face of the Navy.]

[Rather, it seems like a teacher's inquiry and test to his students. ]

[Hearing this, Zefa's smile faded. At this moment, he felt even more oppressive than before.]

[“Did you deliberately not defend yourself because you discovered this?”]

[“No.” Long shook his head slightly, looked directly at Zefa, and said calmly: “I want to test your determination. This is my awareness.”]

[“I am willing to sacrifice for the revolution and to die in front of my comrades. Therefore, I have the responsibility to sacrifice my comrades.
