"Powerful figures in the Marine, powerful figures in CP0, powerful figures in the God's Knights, do you know the difference between these three?", Rosse asked with a smile, rubbing his fingers.
"I don't know," Moa instinctively pressed her legs together, obediently shaking her head.
Even if her thoughts weren't in chaos right now, she still wouldn't know for sure.
"Marine strongmen are those who are unwilling to be directly governed by the Celestial Dragons but are willing to contribute to the World Government. This group follows their own sense of justice and can be considered the most marginalized among the strong. Among the strong of the World Government, only they are the most active in killing pirates."
"Then what about the others?", Moa pursed her lips, feeling the little droplets under her golden hair being touched again, causing her body to tremble slightly once more.
"CP0 strongmen are those who completely obey the Celestial Dragons' commands and hold official positions within the World Government. These people mainly handle the World Government's public affairs. They have almost no scruples and will kill whoever they want."
"Then what about the God's Knights... huh...", Moa exhaled, her curiosity about the God's Knights growing even stronger.
"The God's Knights are the foundation of the Celestial Dragons. Almost all of them are Celestial Dragons themselves, and the few who aren't are powerful figures fully aligned with them. It can be said that almost all of them are vested interest holders. Unless it concerns the Celestial Dragons or their own family's interests, they rarely take action."
"In other words, the God's Knights are actually the foundation of the World Government," Rosse explained with a smile.
Moa didn't understand most of it, but she did understand the last sentence.
Simply put, the God's Knights had the largest numbers and were also the core combat power of the World Government.
Only by shaking the God's Knights could the rule of the World Government be shaken.
But unless something major happened, they wouldn't act at all.
And this time, with Rosward's death and Whitebeard's involvement, it drew their attention and action.
'So, this matter must be spread!'
Even if she had to endure disgust and cooperate with Dragon, she must pass the message to him.
Only with Dragon's power and organizing other strong people could they bury the powerful figures participating in the siege against Whitebeard.
Only by burying these God's Knights members would they have a chance to overthrow the World Government.
"Master...", To achieve her goal, Moa gritted her teeth, adjusted her posture, and directly sat on Rosse's lap.
"Anything else you want to ask? Just say it," That moment of satisfaction made Rosse show a look of enjoyment.
Clearly, it was him who was passing information to Moa, yet now Moa, in order to receive the information, had to make him feel good. This feeling was really not bad.
"Then among the strong people going to the New World this time, how many are S-rank?", Moa restrained the feeling of comfort and moved her body as she spoke.
"Unless something unexpected happens, it's three. One from CP0, two from the God's Knights. That's the information I have. It's not impossible that there may be one or two more," Rosse's lips carried a smile, and he could be said to speak without reservation.
Since Moa wanted to know and was this proactive toward him, of course he would tell her everything.
If they didn't know the exact number of strong individuals, and they brought too few people, resulting in losing the fight, wouldn't all his efforts be in vain?
It would be best if Dragon could find more strong men, making sure none of that group survived, that was the ending he most wanted to see.

[East Blue, Goa Kingdom]
Dragon left the royal palace with a serious expression. At this point, the Goa Kingdom had long been infiltrated by him.
Ever since the Revolutionary Army was targeted by Saint Arlin, he had been forced to abandon the Revolutionary Army.
It wasn't that he didn't want to save them, but he knew that laying low was the best option.
He had the strength to kill Saint Arlin, but as long as he did, it would be just like the Fish-Man Island incident. The entire Revolutionary Army, along with him, would be swiftly wiped out by the World Government.
After taking the technological relics of Vegapunk from the Elbaph, he had been hiding in the shadows of the Goa Kingdom, forming a cooperation with the royal family here, and secretly establishing a lab to develop technology.
The Goa Kingdom could reap the benefits brought by selling technology, while he had a temporarily stable base of operations. It was a win-win.
However, just now, he received a message from Moa to Ivankov and knew he couldn't remain hidden any longer.
The Celestial Dragons had dispatched the God's Knights to the New World to encircle and suppress Whitebeard.
This was a major event.
Since Roger surrendered and was executed, the number of strong pirate figures on the seas had been decreasing.
Golden Lion was captured, Red Count was killed, among the old generation of powerhouses, only Whitebeard remained.
The others, Big Mom, Kaido, Ochoku, Silver Axe, were still lacking a bit for now.
If Whitebeard was gone, it would greatly affect the structure of the world.
The Great Pirate Era that Roger started might even come to a premature end.
Dragon took a deep breath, a gust of wind swept by, and his figure vanished.
While in the Elbaph, he happened to meet a strong figure from the Roger Pirates.
Through that person's recommendation, he should be able to find enough helpers.
Once he had gathered enough helpers, contacting Whitebeard would be the best choice.

[New World, Whitebeard Pirates]
"Pops, Marco's awake," Teach rushed to Whitebeard and reported hurriedly.
Right now, the entire atmosphere of the Whitebeard Pirates was extremely heavy.
Three days ago, they had lost contact with Marco and the others.
Just as Whitebeard was about to head to Fish-Man Island, one of their allied pirate crews discovered Marco's whereabouts.
Marco was unconscious on an ordinary ship. Onboard was Vista's corpse, pierced through by his own sword; Carlo's extracted heart; Leviathan's twisted-off head.
Worst of all, Marco's face had been branded with the Hoof of the Soaring Dragon.
Such cruel actions were more than just a slap in the face to the Whitebeard Pirates, it was outright humiliation.
From top to bottom, the Whitebeard Pirates were filled with a furious atmosphere, desperate for revenge.
But Teach scoffed at this atmosphere.
'What idiots,' he thought, 'Obviously not strong enough, yet they still wanted to stir up trouble with others.'
'Weaklings provoking the strong, and then being trampled on, isn't that just asking for it?'
"I got it. Let's go right now," Whitebeard's tiger-like eyes flashed with killing intent. He nodded at Teach and strode toward Marco's room.
What he cared about most was his family.
If it was just being killed in a normal way, he could accept that. After all, they were men of the sea, death was their second home.
But now, his family had been treated so cruelly, how could he endure that?
If it weren't for having to wait for Marco to wake up, he would have already stormed Mary Geoise to vent his fury.
As a pirate, who would still be afraid of death?
Killing one is worth it, killing ten is pure profit.
'Celestial Dragons, World Government, Rosse!'
'I, WHITEBEARD, will make every one of them pay the PRICE.'
