The chaotic waiting time was finally over and the meeting finally began.
This was only the first day of the conference, and most of the time people were listening to the world government bragging about how much they had done in the past few years and how difficult it had been.
Everyone seemed to be listening attentively, and when Cobra heard about the results of the battle against the Revolutionary Army, he was stunned.
How come so many revolutionaries were captured? The number is a bit scary.
Have all the cadres been arrested?
There are a bunch of people whose names sound very powerful at first glance, why have we never heard of their deeds?
"Revolutionary Torch John. He planned the East China Sea Riot and gathered 108 people to attack Rogue Town. He was discovered by CP9 Chief Spandam and suppressed in advance."
"Revolutionary Torch Jack. A cadre in the Grand Line Paradise phase. He planned an attack on the auction house in the Sabaody Archipelago and was suppressed by the Vice Admiral of the Navy Headquarters."
"Revolutionary Train Peake. South Sea Navy Captain, captured by the South Sea Navy Branch. According to intelligence, he had worked with Deng Huo Noah before. During the capture, he fought desperately and was killed on the spot."
……
It took me half an hour to read the list, which shows how rich our achievements have been in the past few years. It is definitely worth the money you paid.
The countries that knew nothing were naturally amazed. If they continued to arrest people like this, the revolutionary army wouldn't be able to hold out for long.
It's just that Noah and Long's group have only been around for one or two years.
It is a cause for celebration that the group of people who have caused the greatest damage to the world order are finally going to be destroyed.
The king, who had a little more knowledge, admired on the surface but complained inside.
At first I really thought that the rioters were caught in one fell swoop, but the more I listened, the more I felt something was not right.
Torches, firecrackers, trains, matches, sea of fire, are you playing a chain game?
Also, is the content with the world prefix exceeding the standard? We have been saved so many times that we have lost count.
You can't just make up stories to take credit.
When the World Government first started to collect statistics, they also thought it was ridiculous. Many of them were just deceiving people by using the name of the Revolutionary Army.
How can we convince people when there isn't even a bounty of over 100 million?
But Spandam and Spandine, father and son, stood up.
“We didn’t come up with this title, they used it themselves, so it’s fine as long as we didn’t make it up.
Whether they want to disrupt the order of the sea, gather troops, or attack towns, this is what the revolutionary army should do.
Have we paid the hard work, have we paid the intelligence fee, have we worked hard but are we tired, should we be given the credit?
Finally, the news that the sea needs us to defeat the revolutionary army, isn’t this just a matter of course~~~"
This father and son, who were obsessed with power, actually gave such organized and sufficient reasons.
Is this step too comfortable? After a brief consideration, the World Government feels that this is fine.
There were so many people waiting to share the credit. If it was vetoed, it would destroy internal unity, so it was passed unanimously.
Spandam immediately admired the South China Sea Federation even more. This set of reasons was given by the Speaker of the Parliament.
Otherwise he could have secured his position as Speaker of Parliament. He is really not a good person.
The reason for such solidarity with the South Sea is that the contributions of the South Sea Federation and the Spandam family are extraordinary in this achievement.
Everyone wants to share some of the profits, so naturally we have to make it real. It's not like we're killing innocent people to take credit for it. We're doing this for the people, and it's a good thing.
Doing good things will be rewarded!
A close alliance of interests is indestructible. Our South China Sea Federation is your most loyal ally, Brother Spandam.
Finally, this is what happened.
The peace of mind of the member states.
The world government feels comfortable collecting the money.
You can rest assured that Spandam and the South China Sea Federation will take the credit.
Win-win, win-win.
Chapter 368 Betrayal!!!
During the World Government Conference, all forces basically stayed underground.
Even during the Revolutionary Army Paradise stage, it was peaceful and quiet.
Ivankov, Xiao Feng and some other people were doing some simple inspection work and did not dare to mess around.
Akainu has gone on a killing spree during the Paradise stage, and countless small volcanoes have appeared in the past few months.
Accidental injuries to civilians also happen frequently, but no one dares to question it.
The last person to raise doubts was Aokiji. It was said that they almost fought on the spot, but it was Marshal Sengoku who mediated and one was placed in the headquarters and the other in the front half.
With no one to stop them, Akainu's fleet became a walking disaster.
Ivankov had no choice but to come out this time because he contacted an old friend.
He said he had secret information and wanted to tell him in person, but he was seriously injured and hoped Eva would come over.
If it were just an ordinary person, it would be fine, but this old friend was a veteran who had been in office before Noah joined the Revolutionary Army. He had shed blood for the organization and was very loyal.
"Eva, it's a little dangerous for us to go out this time, we have to hurry."
"Well, I'm going to Magic Valley Town to meet an old friend this time. I haven't seen him for a long time. He's not the kind of person who brags. There must be a reason for that."
The group walked in the deserted Mogu Town. Seeing the once bustling pirate town become like this, they realized the deterrent power of Akainu.
This place has a close connection with the revolutionary army. When they first attacked Marijoa, they staged a strategy of luring the tiger away from the mountain here.
The information from the greedy pirates and Pluto was used to lure out the combat power of so many world governments.
Big Bear also played a passerby here once. Looking back, Ivankov felt that it was after that time that the revolutionary army entered the fast lane.
When I pushed open the door of the pub, I saw that there were only a few people sitting in the corner.
"Hey, Eva."
A man wrapped in bandages and looking very bad stood up crookedly.
"Arnold!"
Ivankov was heartbroken to see his old friend's frail appearance.
"What are you..."
"Oh, it's hard to explain. But I came to you because I learned something very important."
Arnold squeezed out a few words in pain.
"Then why not use Den Den Mushi and letters?"
Xiao Feng asked from behind, the revolutionary army has many ways of transmitting information.
"Who is this?"
"Oh, this is the newcomer of Resurrection Island, Feng Clay. He is also a passionate man who practices the way of the shemale. He can be considered as my junior."
He turned around and introduced the seriously injured man to his group.
“This is Benedict Arnold, a hero who started a rebellion with Long very early on.
Back then, he once passed on information despite being seriously injured, saving the nascent revolutionary army headquarters.
But it was also because of that injury that his body collapsed and he could no longer practice."
Arnold's eye twitched at the last sentence.
That incident was a huge blow to Long, Ivankov and others. Their comrades fell just like that. You know, the pain of losing power is sometimes more terrible than death.
Over the years, they have also thought of ways to take care of Arnold's health, including after the Revolutionary Army's medical capabilities grew.
Unfortunately, after many years, the injuries in Arnold's body have become part of his body.
Big Bear’s meat ball fruit cannot be separated and ejected either, so he can only try again after he breaks through to the admiral level.
Over the years, apart from medical treatment, we haven't had much contact.
Arnold consciously avoided his old comrades and took the initiative to leave the headquarters.
Ivankov and the others could understand each other's feelings, so they kept a certain distance.
This time, after hearing Arnold contact her, Eva immediately brought people over.
“Is it the training camp you set up in the South China Sea?
I haven't been to Nanhai for a long time. I only saw your information in the newspaper. I didn't expect that you have cultivated such an outstanding junior. Ahem. Ahem. Ahem. "
After a heart-wrenching cough, Xiao Feng naturally would not continue to ask the other party why he didn't use Den Den Mushi or write letters. Maybe he just wanted to meet an old friend by the way.
It’s no wonder that he is a little too cautious. Everyone knows the World Government’s attitude towards the Revolutionary Army.
This was all under Akainu's nose. He was originally very opposed to this action, and it was Ivankov who made the final decision.
The superior has made the decision and for now we can only obey it.
They disguised themselves many times on the way and released a lot of false information through the underground world. I believe that Akainu is investigating other sea areas at this time.
This strategy of laying down cover and making a feint to the east while attacking in the west has become a required routine in the boot camp.
Seeing his friend in so much pain, Ivankov rushed over and tried to use his fruit ability to help him calm down.
But Arnold rejected him with his eyes.
After coughing for a long time, he finally felt better.
Looking at his hands and feet that would tremble just by coughing, his eyes became extremely gloomy.
"Arnold, you said you have some urgent information. Can you tell me now? Everyone here is trustworthy."
"Trustworthy? Okay, as long as you are trustworthy."
Arnold's tone was a little strange at this time.
"Eva, do you remember when we rioted together?"
Although this topic is quite inappropriate, but...
"1504."
"Yes, at that time there was no revolution, and there was no South Sea Federation. Then one day, Long went out alone, and everything changed~~~~"
This tone? Xiao Feng instinctively felt that something was wrong, and signaled the two soldiers behind him to go out and take a look.
Ignoring Xiao Feng's actions, Arnold continued talking to himself.
"A few days later, Long came back very excited and said he had found the future, found our light, and that our path was bright and great."
Having said this, he remained calm.
Ivankov's eyes slowly changed, and there was all kinds of surprise in his eyes.
“Later, while carrying out some missions, I was seriously injured.
Very seriously injured. I slowly moved away from you and came here to serve as an information relay.
At that time, I told myself that even if I wasn’t at the center, I could still help everyone…”
"and after……"
Ivankov's voice trembled a little.
“Later, I regretted it.
I see you guys are making your business bigger and bigger, with the Resurrection Island and the South Sea Federation, but I am just an anonymous tavern owner in this contact point."
silence……
"He's still a cripple, a cripple who falls down when touched by someone!!!"
Arnold punched the table, but the table did not explode. Only his fist was bleeding.
"See! See! I was once a major general in this department! I was also a glorious army commander. Now..."
"Is this why you betrayed us today?"
