Chapter 764: The Straw Hat Grand Fleet! (2 in 1)

There was a split within the Revolutionary Army. When Long returned to the headquarters, the three army commanders had already left with their confidants.

After much inquiries, Long finally learned that his three former companions were now settled in the Kingdom of Shemales. The Kingdom of Shemales was Ivankov's base camp, and the people living in the country were all shemales who were not generally accepted by the secular world.

Although the people living on the island look a little strange, the combat effectiveness of these transsexuals is very strong, and the location of the Transsexual Kingdom in the first half of the Grand Line is also very secretive. It is an island that even the Navy Headquarters has not included relevant information, so it is very concealed.

The departure of Ivankov, Mori and Crow was a greater blow to the Revolutionary Army than just the loss of three high-end fighters.

The reason they were able to become army commanders in the revolutionary army was not only due to their own strength and achievements, but also because of their qualifications.

Most of them were veterans from the Self-Defense Forces era, and they also had deep networks of relationships within the Revolutionary Army. They not only left on their own, but those who planned to set up their own factions naturally took away a large number of elite troops from the Revolutionary Army.

The taking away of these elite troops also greatly reduced the strength of the Revolutionary Army. After Long returned to the headquarters, he saw that the Revolutionary Army had only 20% of its combat power in its heyday.

Relying on this force, the Revolutionary Army may not be able to stabilize its ship in the drastic changes in the situation in the future.

"What the hell is this."

After a brief moment of surprise, Long went to find Belo Betty, who was still in the revolutionary army, to inquire about the situation. The answer he got from her made Long stunned for a long time.

During the time when Long went to the New World to help his son obtain the Red Road Sign Historical Text, many things happened in the Revolutionary Army.

First, Ivankov failed in his attempt to rescue the captured Crow and Mori, and suffered considerable losses at the hands of Sakaski; then, Crow and Mori, who should have been executed by the Navy, returned to the Revolutionary Army headquarters one after another.

When they met and exchanged information, their dissatisfaction with Long also erupted.

Crow and Mori had already been indoctrinated with such ideas by Yoriichi Tsugakuni during their time at the Marine Headquarters. When they returned to the headquarters and did not see Ryu, they immediately vented their pent-up dissatisfaction.

And Ivankov himself is the kind of person who values ​​friendship and is easily affected by their emotions.

Of course, the most important thing is that after careful consideration, Ivankov discovered that what Crow and Mori said was actually the truth.

They regard the dragon as their leader, hoping that the dragon can lead them to overthrow this ridiculous world.

However, Long, who was carrying their expectations, abandoned his comrades at the critical moment and turned to help his son attack the new navy headquarters. No matter from which angle you look at it, this is of no benefit to the future of the Revolutionary Army except satisfying Long's personal feelings.

The Navy Headquarters alone is already very difficult to deal with. On the one hand, we have to be on guard against the Navy Headquarters, and on the other hand, we have to help the grassroots people of some countries complete the revolution. This is a daunting task in itself.

Now, their revolutionary army is having this kind of trouble with the new navy again, and this child will make it difficult for their revolutionary army to move forward.

Long acted without considering the interests of the revolutionary army, and his behavior made several army commanders feel betrayed.

Of course, there was comradeship among them after all. When the army commanders left, they did not exaggerate the matter, but only informed Belo Beti and some cadres in the base of their opinions.

They hope that after Long comes back, someone will tell him the reason why they left. They also hope that Long will be sensible and not look for them again. They plan to help those in need in their own way.

Different ways.
At least, that's what Crow and Mori thought. As Tsugikoku Yoshiichi said, perhaps compared to Dragon, that person is an outstanding leader who truly aspires to change the world.

Long was a little annoyed after learning the truth. After listening carefully, he sighed helplessly and said:

"Those guys really misunderstood me!"

Long's tone was full of emotion. Belo Beti, who heard this, did not respond and had an expression of noncommittal on his face.

She is also a military commander, so naturally she has her own values ​​and judgments.

When Ivankov returned after his failed rescue attempt, she also asked Ivankov why he didn't ask Dragon for help. If with Dragon's help, with their strength, they would definitely be able to rescue Crow and Mori from Akainu.

But Ivankov clearly told Belobeti that he had invited Long, but Long's answer was "Leave everything to the wind." And then he really did nothing.

If Long had the same attitude towards everything else, Belo Beti could actually understand it. It would be a huge loss in any case if a large number of revolutionary soldiers died in order to rescue two companions.

But then again, when it's the Dragon Son's turn to seek the truth of history, why not leave everything about Luffy to Feng? !
All I can say is that when it doesn't concern him, he can indeed turn a blind eye to it; but when it comes to his own son, Dragon has no way of leaving Luffy's fate to Feng.

Crow, Mori and others could actually understand Long's double standards. As a father, no one would blame him for doing this, but as a leader, Long was obviously not qualified.

After hesitating for a long time, Long finally decided not to go to the Transvestite Kingdom to look for his former companions.

Although he muttered that the other party had misunderstood him, in his heart Long knew very well why the other party had lost confidence in him. Long also did not have the confidence to dispel Crow and Mori's "misunderstanding" of him.

Belo Beti looked at Long for a while, finally shook his head, silently took out a letter of resignation from his arms, and placed it on Long's desk.

Immersed in annoyance, Long subconsciously picked up the resignation letter, opened it, quickly scanned it, and looked at Belo Betty with a serious expression:
"Are you leaving too?!"

"Why?!"

Belo Beti actually wanted to resign from his position as army commander and planned to leave the revolutionary army.

"People's hearts have been scattered, and it is not easy to gather them together again."

"I don't think I can do anything if I continue to stay in the Revolutionary Army."

Belo Betty responded directly to Long's question.

"."

After a few minutes of silence, Long put Belo Betty's resignation letter aside and asked softly:

"So Belo Betty, if you don't join the Revolutionary Army, what are you going to do next?"

Just like the casual chat between old friends before parting, Long's emotions calmed down at this time. He forced a smile and asked.

"What to do next?"

"I don't know either. Let's find a peaceful island and live a quiet life."

"Maybe. Find someone who loves me and marry him? Haha, I don't know either."

Belo Beti chuckled and shook his head. At this moment, the ideals that he had held in his heart in his early years finally fell back into reality.

Hearing Belo Beti's "simple" wish, Long smiled bitterly and shook his head: "Belo Beti, let's put the resignation aside for now." "If you want to do something, just do it. When you want to come back, come back."

"There will always be a place for you in the revolutionary army."

Long's words were full of the meaning of retaining him, but Belo Betty smiled brightly when she heard this:
"Thank you."

“But I don’t think I’ll be back.”

"I'm leaving now, Dragon."

With that, Belo Beti left the office, leaving Long alone sitting behind the desk, staring blankly at Belo Beti's departing back.

Are you disappointed? I am a little disappointed.

But the emotion that occupied Long's mind the most at this moment was confusion.

As Belo Beti said, people's hearts are scattered
Even Long didn't know how to lead this disintegrating revolutionary army.

Such a thing happened after just a short absence. The revolutionary army fell apart in such a short time.

What makes Long even more headache is that now Tsugumi Yoshiichi has obviously set his sights on his Revolutionary Army. It will probably become extremely difficult for him to do anything under Tsugumi Yoshiichi's nose.

More importantly, under the background of the naval world's large-scale recruitment, any knowledgeable person will probably be recruited by the navy.

How can the revolutionary army, whose strength has been severely damaged, recover its strength?
Starting from scratch?!
Given the current world situation, will the Navy give their Revolutionary Army a chance to start from scratch?!

Long's worries soon became reality.

The successive departures of the army commanders caused the morale within the revolutionary army to drop to the lowest level. Although there were some things that the army commanders did not expose to the grassroots revolutionary army, the news about Long had already been widely circulated in the newspapers.

Moreover, the navy was secretly fanning the flames in terms of public opinion, and the grassroots of the revolutionary army soon understood why the top leaders were divided.

At this time of internal instability, the Navy also spread the word that it would vigorously strike the revolutionary army led by Long. At this juncture, the Navy began a worldwide recruitment.

The conscription officials also spoke very nicely. In addition to generous welfare benefits, this time the conscription will not look at the number of years of service, and military ranks will be awarded directly according to strength and ability.

I even heard from some people who participated in the conscription that the navy is somewhat lenient in terms of political review. As long as you are not on the wanted list and have no written record of criminal history in your own country, you have a chance to become a member of the navy.

This also made some grassroots revolutionary forces ready to take action.

These revolutionary soldiers may have been just ordinary people who were oppressed in certain kingdoms at the beginning, but after becoming revolutionary soldiers, they also received certain military and cultural training.

Since the revolutionary army has lost its "ideals", it doesn't matter where these grassroots soldiers go to make a living? !
Naturally, this mentality was something that Tsugikoku Yoshiichi had already anticipated.

It is conceivable that when conscription becomes widespread around the world, many people who have lost faith in their “home country” will participate in the navy’s conscription trials.

These people will become the final sword stabbing the revolutionary army.

The several plans that Jiguo Yuanyi facilitated could be described as turning the tide and dealt the revolutionary army one heavy blow after another.

After this series of attacks, even Ryu found it difficult to withstand them, and the Revolutionary Army showed signs of collapse under the "attack" of Yoriichi Tsugakuni.

It was not until this time that Long sensed the shadow of Jiguo Yuanyi's plan from various clues.

A few days later at night, Long, who was lying in bed thinking about something, suddenly came to his senses and vaguely grasped the clues of Ji Guoyuan's plan.

"I'm afraid that guy Tsugukuni Yuichi let Crow and Mori escape on purpose!!!"

However, when Long realized this, it was too late, and Tsugikoku Yoshiichi's plan had already come to fruition.

Whether it was the division of the revolutionary army or the disintegration of people's hearts, Long could not save them.

Just when the Revolutionary Army was on the brink of collapse, the Navy did not pay even a little attention to the Revolutionary Army.

The Navy is making great efforts to prepare for the Ministry of the Interior, and at the same time, is also preparing for the world's great conscription.

Now that the New Navy and the Navy have merged, the prestige of the headquarters has been raised to a higher level. Naturally, all countries are extremely supportive of the Navy's large-scale recruitment. After all, they know that the Navy's expansion of its strength is to better deal with the Straw Hat Pirates and the Revolutionary Army.

Although the monarchs did not know why they had to expand such a large military force to deal with a pirate group with only about ten crew members.

But when they thought of the legend about "Joey Boy", the doubts in their hearts naturally disappeared.

The monarchs didn't know what the navy was going to do, but Tsugikuni Yoriichi was very clear about his goals.

Taking advantage of the opportunity, he asked local branches to secretly collect information on various illegal activities in the local area.

From the day when conscription is completed, their navy will handle cases that the kingdoms can handle, and also handle cases that the kingdoms cannot handle.

In the face of justice, Jikoku Yuanyi will not allow any princes, nobles, gentry or wealthy businessmen to escape punishment.

A bloody storm is also brewing.

The plan was progressing steadily, but Tsugikoku Yoshiichi didn't forget to deal with the Straw Hat Pirates. His original intention was not to care about these guys. Although Luffy's Nika Fruit had awakened, after all, Tsugikoku Yoshiichi didn't think Luffy's mentality would have any impact on his plan.

However, the sudden change happened despite Yoshiichi Tsugakuni's deliberate neglect.

The latest intelligence from the New Navy of the New World is that the Straw Hat Pirates have suddenly incorporated more than 30 pirate groups, including even the Giant Soldier Pirates of the Giant Clan and the remnants of the Whitebeard Pirates of Wano Country.

Today's Straw Hat Pirates has become a super large fleet with a strength of more than 10000 people.

The speed at which his strength expanded was so fast that even Yoshiichi Tsugakuni was caught off guard.

The information released by Yoshiichi Tsugakuni that the Straw Hat Pirates had mastered the text of the landmark history brought the Straw Hat Pirates great troubles, but also brought them great opportunities.

In this world, there are indeed some pirate groups that have the ambition to defeat the Fifth Emperor, but in the New World, there are more pirate groups that hope to cling to the Fifth Emperor and seek protection.

The Straw Hat Pirates are the fifth emperor of the sea who "broke through" Cake Island and retreated safely. The New World pirates who were suppressed by the New Navy have now found a big thick leg that can protect them!
