Chapter 250: Spontaneous Reactions from All Parties!
At this moment, the Dragon Hunter Pirates made their appearance.
However, only the First Division officers were seen on camera—none of the others showed up.
"We understand everyone's eagerness to take out the trash," one officer said, calm and confident.
"But before we dispose of this garbage, we need to make their deaths... meaningful."
Then, stepping into full view, Ryuunosuke—the captain of the Dragon Hunter Pirates—spoke directly into the camera.
"I am Ryuunosuke, captain of the Dragon Hunter Pirates. This message is for the entire world."
"As long as you are bullied, or oppressed civilians under the tyranny of the World Government…"
"You can send your message to me through the News Birds."
"The Dragon Hunter Pirates will respond—we will not ignore your suffering."
With those words, the Dragon Hunter Pirates officially placed themselves in direct opposition to the World Government and its allies.
Yet, Ryuunosuke showed no hesitation. These allied nations posed no threat to him at all.

Revolutionary Army Headquarters
The Revolutionary Army quickly received the broadcast.
"Brother… what are you going to do?" Sabo asked, stunned.
"Isn't he doing our job for us?"
Ryuunosuke's message had sparked unrest across various countries. Oppressed civilians began stirring—many for the first time—with dreams of resistance.
For the Revolutionary Army's undercover agents, this was a golden opportunity.
Through their intel channels, they confirmed: the chaos Ryuunosuke caused was giving civilians the courage to rise up—and it was all aligning with the Revolutionary Army's original mission.
It struck at the heart of the World Government's arrogance. And worse for them, it exposed a fatal weakness: Marijoa had no means of producing food or supplies.
All their resources came from the allied nations.
If those supply chains were broken, even briefly, the so-called Celestial Dragons wouldn't last a month.
Couple that with the threat of the Dragon Hunter Pirates, and the World Government was now cornered.
"No need to move just yet," Dragon said calmly.
"Position our people to become leaders among the civilian movements."
"When the Dragon Hunter Pirates strike the World Government directly…"
"That's our signal to move against the allied nations."
"Do you think Ryuunosuke planned it that way?" Sabo asked, brows furrowed.
Dragon closed his eyes and exhaled slowly. "He did. This is all by design."
The old guidelines of the Revolutionary Army still held true. And if they couldn't seize this moment…
Well, then perhaps Dragon should retire, head home, and eat senbei with Garp instead.
"…So, is there anything else we can do for Big Brother?" Sabo asked, his tone shifting into concern.
"I've got a bad feeling. The World Government might do something reckless."
He had a point. The Dragon Hunter Pirates were strong, but their numbers were limited.
If they couldn't follow through on their promise—and the allies retaliated with brutal force—everything Ryuunosuke had built could collapse.
"You're right," Dragon said. "Start gathering intel immediately. I want a report on every allied nation likely to face civilian revolts."
"Set up contingency plans. We can't afford to miss this wave."
Sabo nodded and left at once to carry out the orders.

Onboard the Moby Dick – Whitebeard Pirates
"Dad! Big Brother's already making moves!" Ace burst in, visibly fired up.
"But we're not ready yet! Should we just wait until it's time to attack Marijoa?"
Whitebeard sat back in his chair, eyes fixed on the horizon.
"The message Ryuunosuke released… it wasn't for us to attack the World Government directly."
He stood up, his towering frame casting a long shadow over the deck.
"Send word to all captains. Stay in constant contact with Morgans."
"If any World Government agents descend from Marijoa—hit them. No hesitation."
A fire lit up in Whitebeard's eyes. His blood boiled with excitement—something he hadn't felt since Roger's time.
The World Government… being cornered by a single pirate crew?
Even the full might of the Navy couldn't stop them.
Even Joraku—the old monster himself—had been forced to retreat.
Most didn't know Fugetsu, but Whitebeard did.
That man was a legend of the old era, feared across the seas. If even he was pushed back by Ryuunosuke's crew… that meant one thing.
These Dragon Hunters were monsters.
And while they were powerful, even they couldn't do everything alone.
That's where the Whitebeard Pirates came in.
Years of preparation had made them stronger than ever, with territories conveniently bordering several allied nations.
The time to act was coming.
But the true danger didn't lie in the allies—those nations were already crumbling under fear.
No, the real threat came from above.
If the CP0 or the Celestial Dragon Guards stepped in to take control of the situation, the civilian revolts would be crushed before they could take root.
That's why Whitebeard's eyes narrowed.
That's why they had to intercept the agents before they reached the battlefield.

Amazon Lily – Nine Snake Island
"Luffy, there's something you should see," Rayleigh said, handing him the recorded footage.
Luffy, who was in the middle of devouring a massive chunk of meat, paused mid-bite.
The moment Ryuunosuke's speech played, Luffy froze.
His eyes widened.
His jaw dropped.
"Big Bro…"
"Whoa! He's so cool!" Luffy shouted, mouth still half-full.
"Uncle Rayleigh! I want to help my brother too! I—"
He stopped. The meat no longer tasted good.
Sure, he'd gotten stronger… he'd mastered Armament Haki.
But Observation Haki? Still unstable.
Conqueror's Haki? Purely instinctive. No control.
He clenched his fists.
Even if he wanted to help, he knew—he wasn't ready.
Not yet.
He made a silent decision, then scarfed down the rest of his meat in one massive gulp.
His stomach full, he got up and headed straight to the training grounds.
Now wasn't the time to eat. Now was the time to grow stronger.

Meanwhile… Across the Seas
Ryuunosuke's message spread like wildfire.
Other pirate crews, bounty hunters, and revolutionaries all received the news.
And chaos followed.
Many saw this as a rare chance to act. With the World Government focused on the Dragon Hunter Pirates, everyone else was off their radar.
For the first time in decades, the oceans descended into organized madness.
