Chapter 293: Continuous Big News
Just as Dorag was about to continue speaking, a knock suddenly sounded on the door.
Nicholas and Dorag looked towards the door at the same time.
Neither of them used Observation Haki to check who was outside. For Dorag, this was Nicholas's base, and rashly using Observation Haki would be inappropriate. For Nicholas, there was no need to use it at his own base.
"Mr. Nicholas, Miss Bellin said you were looking for me. May I come in?"
A majestic voice came from outside the door. The majestic voice and the polite tone were quite difficult to reconcile.
"The door's unlocked, come in."
"Creak."
Bartholomew Kuma pushed open the door, bending over as he entered. Seeing Dorag sitting next to Nicholas, he didn't seem surprised.
"Come, sit next to me."
Dorag gestured for Bear to sit down and drink with them.
Bear didn't stand on ceremony and sat directly next to Dorag.
Nicholas looked at Bear and smiled, "Tyrant Kuma, said to be a Pirate who suddenly appeared on the Grand Line this year, running rampant. First, he killed the former King of the Sorbet Kingdom and ascended the throne himself.
Then he suddenly disappeared. His reappearance was not long ago when he brutally murdered the Azu Pirate Crew, who had entered the New World with a total Bounty of 500 million Berries, for no reason at all. His current Bounty is 280 million Berries."
"Hmm."
Bear didn't refute the Data Nicholas mentioned, only nodding slowly.
After all, everything Nicholas said were things he had done.
"By the way, do you have children, or an old mother, or perhaps older or Younger Sister?"
Nicholas suddenly remembered that Jewelry Bonney, who was later one of the Worst Generation eleven alongside Monkey D. Luffy, seemed to have a Complex relationship with Bear, and couldn't help but ask.
Bear was first stunned for a moment, then looked at Nicholas with a puzzled expression before looking at Dorag.
Seeing Bear's gaze, Dorag also spoke up to help Bear out.
"Nicholas, Bear's Parents were persecuted by the Sorbet Kingdom a few years ago because they couldn't afford the Celestial Tribute. So that's why Bear overthrew the former King of the Sorbet Kingdom. However..."
Saying this, Dorag glanced at Bear. Seeing that he had no reaction, he continued.
"After overthrowing the King of the Sorbet Kingdom, the first thing Bear did after ascending the throne and becoming King of Sorbet was to completely refuse to pay Celestial Tribute to the World Government. And relying on his outstanding Strength, he repeatedly repelled attacks from the South Blue Marine and the World Government on the Sorbet Kingdom.
Afterwards, in order to protect Sorbet from the Ravage of Pirates, he used extremely bloody methods to directly defeat many notorious Pirate Crew in the South Blue. He became the infamous Tyrant Kuma, but if you spend a long time with Kuma, you'll know he's a very gentle person.
And later, to avoid trouble, he left the Sorbet Kingdom and chose to join us.
So, the Grand Line's evaluation of Tyrant Kuma is partly World Government propaganda, and partly the Fear of Pirates towards Bear. After all, most notoriously evil Pirate Crew only face death when they encounter Bear.
But if you personally go to the Sorbet Kingdom, you should see a different Aspect of Bear from the mouths of those People."
"Uh?"
Nicholas was stunned after listening. He really didn't expect Dorag to say so much at once.
And Bear was also stunned. He didn't remember telling Dorag about his Past in such detail.
"Let's drink."
Nicholas raised his Wine Bottle at the right moment.
"Cheers."
Dorag and Bear then also raised their Wine Bottles.
That night.
Nicholas held a Banquet to entertain Dorag and the others.
It was said to be an ordinary Banquet, but the dishes were not ordinary at all. It could be said that the continuous stream of dishes dazzled the Revolutionary Army members who had come to White Dance.
And this Banquet can be called the first close contact between the Nicholas Pirates and the Revolutionary Army.
During casual conversation, Dorag subtly scrutinized Nicholas's team, who were Apprehension by the World Government and Fear by the Celestial Dragons.
Powerful and balanced. Although there weren't many core Members, there was no doubt that any one of them was a Strongest who could stand alone on the Grand Line.
Especially Vistad sitting there, Dorag even felt that this Weapon alone could block all other Revolutionary Army Officers except himself.
As for Bell-lin, she made Dorag feel an even greater Threat, a Fear instinctively engraved in the dna of living Creatures.
Dorag sighed slightly in his heart, giving the Nicholas Pirates a very high evaluation.
Dorag even thought that if he could recruit Nicholas, the Revolutionary Army's development could be shortened by at least thirty years.
However, he did not reveal these Thoughts.
He was originally a Man who would not easily reveal his Thoughts on his Face.
After a few rounds of Wine and five courses of dishes.
Perhaps due to the alcohol, the Revolutionary Army Crew Members present eagerly asked Brook and others beside them about the Thing of building White Dance.
Compared to those template Things, they hoped to hear firsthand about the process of White Dance's transformation. After all, after arriving, they had also briefly learned about the current situation of Various Regions in Wano Country.
White Dance had the highest standard of Life, followed by Flower Capital, then Udon. As for the People in Ringo and Kuri, they were practically living in Hell.
At this moment, the Revolutionary Army Officers kept throwing out questions, showing great interest.
Unable to refuse, everyone could only explain the Things Nicholas had instructed them to do, as well as some of their own experiences.
The Revolutionary Army Officers listened with rapt attention, and many even took out notebooks and began to write things down. After all, their hometowns were no different from White Dance in the past, with poverty and hunger almost shrouding the Ground.
They joined the Revolutionary Army hoping to build their hometowns into better places and let their Family live better Lives.
While others were discussing how to build, Nicholas and Dorag were also exchanging Intelligence.
"I don't know who that Weapon in Mary Geoise is, but I can be sure that he is the Strongest Enemy I have ever encountered."
Facing Dorag's Gaze filled with Apprehension and shock, Nicholas said calmly.
"..."
Hearing Nicholas's Words, Dorag was silent for a while.
Then he frowned slightly, looked at Nicholas, and said.
"I think I know who that Weapon you're talking about is."
Hearing Dorag's Words, Nicholas was instead stunned. It was somewhat normal for him to know that the Celestial Dragons had hidden Power behind them and to know of Im's Existence, but Dorag?
Seeming to see Nicholas's confusion, Dorag explained.
"Do you know why my Father repeatedly refused promotions to Admiral?"
Dorag didn't care about Nicholas's Reaction, and continued to speak to himself, "Many People say it's because Father was unwilling to become a lackey of the Celestial Dragons, but I once accidentally learned from him that when the World Government confirms a new Navy Admiral, they need to go to Holy Land Mary Geoise. At first, I thought they were going to meet the Five Elders, but later I learned that they weren't meeting the Five Elders.
Nicholas, Admirals are very powerful, and any Admiral is enough to become a Major Power overlord on the Grand Line, but have you ever thought about why they are willing to be lackeys of the World Government and the Celestial Dragons?
Justice isn't necessarily something only the Navy can carry out!"
On this cruel Grand Line, many People think that the emperors of the Sea and the Navy Admirals are characters standing at the pinnacle of the Grand Line, but Dorag knows that these People are just pawns in the eyes of that Weapon hidden behind the World.
The next day.
The Revolutionary Army received a piece of Intelligence carrying several bombshell News.
The News was brief, but full of shock.
The content is as follows.
Douglas Bullet declared that he possesses an Eternal Pose pointing to Laugh Tale!
Pirate King Roger has been secretly arrested by the Navy!
The Navy will launch a Buster Call against Bullet, led by Sakazuki, Borsalino, and Kuzan, three Headquarters Elite Vice Admirals!
Red Count Redfield was captured on Brissorf Island by Navy Marshal Kong, leading Navy Staff Officer Tsuru and Headquarters Elite Vice Admiral Issho!
Charlotte Linlin launched a surprise Attack on the Islands under Nicholas near Totto Land! Three Islands have already fallen!
The Royal Shichibukai has been officially established, with Sir Crocodile being the first to join!
It can be said that each of these News is extremely explosive. Dorag could even imagine how crazy Morgans of the World Economy News would be if he got this Intelligence.
