Chapter 330: A Second Visit to the Revolutionary Army!
The second half of the New World.
White Earth Island.
White sand flies all year round, like a shroud covering the island.
The headquarters of the revolutionary army.
The most hidden corner of this world.
A streak of light tore through the sky.
Chen Ye's figure landed like a ghost on the giant rock at the edge of the island.
After leaving the Navy Headquarters, Chen Ye thought for a moment and decided not to go to the Giant Country according to the mission issued by the system, but to go and meet his old ally, Dragon, first!
He looked up.
His gaze pierced through the entire island!
"They've kept it well hidden."
"However, no matter how well a mouse hides, it can't escape a cat's nose."
"Who goes there!"
Her delicate voice broke through the wind and sand.
Majestic yet wild.
A huge red flag suddenly emerged from behind the rocks.
The flags fluttered and shook in the wind; they were battle robes stained with blood.
A fiery woman carrying a large flag leaps high from behind a rock.
She wore a red top hat with the brim pulled low, which couldn't hide her neat short hair.
She was wearing a daring red vest with a wide-open neckline.
Large swaths of snow-white skin were dazzling.
The deep ravines are enough to make one's blood boil.
She wore a very form-fitting red leather skirt and tall leather boots.
He had an unlit cigarette dangling from his mouth, his eyes sharp as knives.
Bello Beatty.
Commander of the revolutionary army "Eastern Army".
Betty's muscles were tense all over.
Baldigo is top secret.
Apart from core executives, nobody knew.
The man fell from the sky.
His aura sent chills down her spine.
Enemy attack!
Better to kill the innocent than let the guilty go free.
She did not hesitate.
"Dance now, rocks!"
Betty suddenly waved the flag.
The power of the Encouragement Fruit is activated.
The surging power spread instantly, enveloping the surrounding white rocks.
The lifeless rocks came to life.
Rumble.
The earth trembled.
Countless giant rocks rose from the ground, twisted and deformed, transforming into ferocious rock giant hands.
An aura capable of crushing everything crashed down on Chen Ye.
"That's interesting."
Chen Ye stood still.
He didn't even blink.
The smile in his eyes deepened.
"Encouragement Fruit? It awakens the fighting spirit of inanimate objects; a decent support ability."
The moment the first boulder hit his head.
Chen Ye disappeared.
Only a fleeting shadow remained.
He transformed into black lightning, weaving through the dense rain of rocks.
fast.
too fast.
Betty's vision blurred.
The giant rock hand she unleashed didn't even touch the hem of the other person's clothes; it smashed through nothing.
The roar was deafening.
Smoke and dust billowed into the sky.
next second.
His warm breath brushed against her ear.
The scent of death.
She instinctively raised her knee to strike.
The flagpole sweeps across.
Ruthless.
Decisive.
Every move hits the vital point.
too slow.
"Bang!"
A muffled thud.
Betty's wrist went numb, and the flag flew out of her hand, embedding itself in the white soil in the distance.
A tremendous force pulled her backward.
His back slammed heavily against the rock wall.
"Thump!"
The rock face trembled, and boulders fell in a flurry.
Chen Ye placed his right hand on her ear and pinned her against the rock wall.
Full of oppression.
Betty struggled.
I can't move.
An invisible gravity pressed down on her.
She can't move.
Pure overwhelming strength.
The absolute dominance of a god over ordinary strong individuals.
Chen Ye lowered his head.
Their faces were inches apart.
The tip of his nose almost touched hers.
Breaths mingled.
She saw her own panicked face reflected in his pupils.
Her defiant eyes were filled with shock and panic.
My heart is racing.
thump.
thump.
thump.
It's about to burst through my chest.
Chen Ye's gaze swept over her heaving chest and settled on her stubborn face.
He chuckled softly.
His voice was deep and magnetic, with a hint of mockery.
"Isn't it a waste to use the Encouragement Fruit, a strategic ability, for throwing stones in a fight?"
Chen Ye leaned closer, his warm breath brushing against Betty's earlobe, causing her to shudder.
"I think you'd be better suited to be a cheerleader than a berserker."
"If you just stand behind and cheer, I think even a herd of pigs would squeal and charge towards the slaughterhouse, right?"
"you--!"
Betty blushed to the roots of her neck.
He was filled with shame and indignation.
She, Bello Betty, had roamed the seas for many years and was one of the four army commanders of the Revolutionary Army. When had she ever been treated so lightly?
Even when they were completely powerless to fight back.
This man.
Too domineering.
That's incredibly rude.
That's too... dangerous.
She glared at Chen Ye, wishing she could bite off a piece of his flesh.
But there was truly no way to resist.
Just then.
A strong wind swept by.
Chen Ye didn't turn around; his smile deepened.
"Have you finally decided to let go?"
On a high rock.
A tall figure wearing a dark green cloak appeared.
He has a red square tattoo on his face.
Monkey D. Dragon.
The supreme leader of the revolutionary army.
Dragon looked down at Betty with a helpless expression and spoke in a deep voice.
The sound wasn't loud, but it pierced through the wind.
"Betty, step back."
"This is a distinguished guest."
Distinguished guest?
Betty was stunned.
She thought it was an assassin from the World Government, or one of the Four Emperors.
The leader's guest?
Judging from the leader's attitude, he seems to value this man highly.
Chen Ye's shoulders relaxed.
The suffocating pressure of gravity vanished instantly.
She trembled all over.
"Turns out she's just a grumpy little wildcat."
After Chen Ye finished speaking with a smile, he turned around, put his hands in his pockets, and looked up at the dragon high above.
Betty felt a sudden relaxation wash over her, almost collapsing to her knees.
She was panting heavily, her face flushed.
He glared fiercely at Chen Ye's retreating figure.
"asshole."
She cursed under her breath.
She picked up the flag and retreated behind the dragon.
"Long time no see, Chenye."
The dragon leaped down from the rock and landed in front of Chen Ye.
His expression was serious, but his eyes held the familiar warmth of old friends reuniting.
"Your arrival was a little quieter than I expected."
The dragon glanced at the scattered rocks around it.
If Kaido or Big Mom came, half the island would be gone.
"I'm here as a guest, not to demolish houses."
Chen Ye waved his hand casually.
"Lead the way, the sandstorms are too bad here, I don't like eating dirt."
The dragon nodded and turned to lead the way.
"Come with me."
The group headed deeper into the island.
After navigating the rocky maze, a hidden underground entrance appears.
The heavy stone door opened, revealing a deep passageway.
Once again, we arrive in Baltimore's underground world.
The true heart of the revolutionary army.
The revolutionary soldiers along the way were very busy.
Transporting supplies.
Wipe the weapons.
Exchange intelligence.
Upon seeing the dragon, they stopped what they were doing and bowed in fervent admiration.
Their gazes fell on Chen Ye, their fervor turning into surprise and doubt.
Chen Ye didn't unleash his domineering aura.
However, the imperial aura emanating from him could not be concealed.
The crowd automatically separated.
No one dared to stop them.
No one dared to breathe loudly.
After Chen Ye walked away, the soldiers looked at each other, their backs soaked with cold sweat.
"Is that the guest that the leader wants to personally greet?"
"What a terrifying aura. More terrifying than any pirate I've ever seen."
Whispers arose behind me.
Chen Ye followed Long deep into the core area of the underground base.
The lights were dim.
The air was filled with the smell of old paper and tobacco.
Push open the heavy metal door.
Arrived.
Core conference room.
The room was large, but also very cramped.
There are documents everywhere.
The table, the chair, the floor—they were piled high with documents.
In the mountain of documents, an old man with purple hair and sunglasses was working diligently.
His right arm is a giant mechanical crusher.
Sea stone arm.
Former Admiral.
Black Wrist Zephyr.
Hearing the door open, Zephyr cursed without even looking up:
"Dragon! If you come to tell me which branch is short of funds again, I'll twist your head off with this iron hand!"
"I'm here to be an instructor! To train these greenhorns!"
"I didn't come here to be your accountant!"
Zefa's voice was full of resentment.
He's a complete office worker who's been squeezed dry.
Chen Ye couldn't help but laugh out loud.
"It seems our former admiral is enjoying a fulfilling retirement."
Upon hearing this sound, Zefa's pen paused.
He looked up, took off his reading glasses, and his eyes were bloodshot.
Upon seeing Chen Ye, Zefa finally smiled despite his exhaustion.
"It's you, you brat."
Zefa pointed to the mountains of documents around him and shook his head with a wry smile.
"Look at this, this is the mess that bastard Long made."
"I am now the chief instructor, the chief of staff, and the logistics minister."
"One person does the work of three."
"This old man's bones will eventually die on this desk."
Chen Ye pulled out a chair, sat down, and crossed his legs.
His gaze swept around the room.
"Where's Kuzan?"
"Isn't that lazy guy best suited for this kind of mindless physical work?"
"It would be good to cool these documents down with frozen fruit."
When Kuzan was mentioned, both Dragon and Zephyr had strange expressions.
The dragon took off his cloak, hung it on a hanger, and explained helplessly:
"Kuzan...he doesn't belong here."
"Let him handle the paperwork, he'll fall asleep in half an hour, and his saliva could ruin half of the confidential documents."
"Moreover, his identity is too sensitive, and it is not suitable for him to stay at headquarters indefinitely."
"I sent him to secretly protect Sabo."
"Sabo and Corla have already gone to Dressrosa to complete an important mission."
"It's not a powder keg. I don't need to worry about Kuzan keeping an eye on it."
"Kuzan now is only fit to be a henchman."
Chen Ye nodded.
This aligns with Kuzan's character.
This also aligns with the current situation.
Dressrosa.
The eye of the storm.
To be continued.
Today, he has more important things to do.
Chen Ye's smile faded.
He leaned forward and placed his hands on his knees, crossed over each other.
His gaze passed over Zefa and pierced into the dragon's eyes.
The atmosphere instantly became heavy.
The stillness before the storm.
The dust in the air has stopped.
Zefa put down his pen, put on his glasses, and looked serious.
He knew very well that Chen Ye's visit this time was not just to reminisce.
Chen Ye looked at the dragon.
Look at a revolutionary.
A man who bears the weight of his era's destiny.
"The reminiscing is over, Dragon."
Chen Ye's voice was soft, but each word was like a heavy hammer, striking the dragon's heart.
"The question I left you with last time."
"The vicious cycle of the dragon slayer becoming the dragon himself."
"You overthrew the World Government and established a new regime. How can you guarantee that your people won't change and become the next batch of Celestial Dragons?"
Chen Ye paused, his eyes sharp as knives.
Do you have an answer yet?
