Dragon stood on the cliff of a remote island in the East Blue, with a sea of stormy clouds behind him, and huge waves beat against the rocks, making dull sounds.
The wind fluttered his cloak, and his black figure was like an indestructible fortress.
He looked down at a secret letter in his hand, the content of which was Jin's words and future strategy.
A trace of thought flashed in Dragon's eyes. He knew that the East Blue was one of the core monitoring areas of the World Government, but precisely because of this, it was also the easiest place to ignite the fire of resistance.
"The time has come," he murmured to himself, then turned around and gave orders to his subordinates, his voice firm and deep, "Gather our comrades in the East Blue, we are about to begin."
The East Blue, as one of the New Navy's strategic priorities, quickly began to gather secretly.
Dragon's subordinates, scattered in secret strongholds on various islands, secretly contacted forces dissatisfied with the World Government.
Most of these forces were people who had been oppressed by the Celestial Dragons and lost their homes, or merchants and adventurers who had been treated unfairly. Dragon's call spread rapidly in the East Blue like a spring breeze.
The sky over the South Blue was as blue as washed, and the sunlight shone on the earth through the tall coconut groves.
However, in this peaceful sea, Kuma's figure was as silent and firm as a mountain.
"The New Navy's flag has been raised, and the future is irreversible." He stood in front of a dilapidated village, surrounded by villagers with eyes full of hope and determination.
In the South Blue, Kuma's actions were more secretive than elsewhere.
He single-handedly slowly organized the resisters in the South Blue, like a torrent of accumulating power, ready to erupt at any time.
Kuma looked up into the distance, his eyes extremely calm.
He was not in a hurry to launch large-scale actions, but focused on building a solid underground network.
He knew that the New Navy needed not only strength, but also intelligence, resources, and a solid foundation.
"We need time, but time is on our side," Kuma whispered to himself, then led his team forward.
The sky over the West Blue was always shrouded in dark clouds. This area was turbulent, with various forces intertwined.
The New Navy's West Blue leader was a calm and decisive woman. She stood in a secret room, gently tapping the table with her fingers.
"General Jin has given the signal, the West Blue can no longer wait and see." She looked up at the others in the room, her eyes as sharp as an eagle's.
Most of the resisters in the West Blue were exiled nobles, disgraced merchants, and even some former military officers who harbored resentment against the World Government.
They were the most complex group of people in this world, full of ambition and desire.
She knew that the situation in the West Blue was far more complicated than in the other three seas, so she adopted a strategy of division and alliance.
She wanted to find order in the chaos of the West Blue, find allies who could help the New Navy, and defeat those potential enemies one by one.
Her plan was meticulous, secretive, and as dangerous as a viper.
The night in the North Blue was cold and bleak, and a thin layer of mist floated on the sea, almost obscuring the light of the distant lighthouse.
The New Navy's North Blue leader stood on a sneaking ship, his eyes coldly looking at the brightly lit castle in the distance.
"The Vinsmoke Family, Germa 66 has surrendered, but the real decision-maker has long been replaced."
He understood that Jin's overall situation was set, and what he had to do was to integrate the forces of the North Blue to provide the most solid backing for this revolution.
The complex situation in the North Blue made him feel like he was walking on thin ice. The Vinsmoke Family still nominally ruled this sea, but in the dark, various forces were ready to move.
He had to be resourceful in this dangerous situation, not only to ensure Germa's loyalty, but also to consolidate the New Navy's position in the North Blue.
He silently looked at the distant castle, secretly determined in his heart: the North Blue will be an indispensable part of Jin's plan.
The winds and clouds of the four seas were quietly gathering. Under the promotion of the leaders, the New Navy expanded like a tide in the four seas.
They knew that this change was not something that could be accomplished overnight, but every action and every decision would pave the way for future victory.
As Jin said, the real challenge had not yet come, and they were ready to face the unavoidable storm.
......
East Blue.
Inside an underground base on the island, the firelight illuminated the stone walls. Dragon stood at the table, staring deeply at the things placed on the table.
Beside him, sat warriors of all shapes and sizes - including burly giants, agile fish-men, densely hairy mink tribe members, and powerhouses from all corners.
They all had different backgrounds, but gathered together because of the same dream.
Dragon scanned the newly joined partners, thinking secretly in his heart.
His eyes narrowed slightly, reflecting the Fish-Man Island map spread out on the table, marked with Jin's actions, Arlong's trial, and the upcoming changes.
"Everything that happened on Fish-Man Island is shaking the world, especially in the South Blue and East Blue," Dragon said in a low voice.
He tapped the table lightly, and the people around him quieted down.
"Jin did what he had to do, and what we have to do is to ride this wave." He paused, his eyes staying on those giants and fish-men, "No matter where you come from, what your race is, as long as you have the same goal - to break this distorted world, we are comrades."
The giant warrior silently lowered his head, as if thinking about Dragon's words.
His rough palm clenched gently, making a creaking sound, obviously deeply touched by what happened on Fish-Man Island.
And the fish-man on the other side was even more excited, slamming the table and standing up with anger, "Fish-Man Island has always been oppressed by humans, my compatriots, we can't bear it anymore!"
Dragon did not respond directly, but only glanced at the other party faintly, without any extra emotional fluctuations in his eyes.
He knew that hatred was not the only driving force behind this revolution, but he also understood that these partners in front of him needed time to accept this.
"Fish-Man Island is just the beginning," Dragon said slowly, breaking the silence. "We are not just for revenge, but to ensure that there will be no such oppression in the future." His voice was firm, and every word was like a heavy hammer forging steel, hitting everyone's heart.
The discussion gradually deepened, and Dragon's partners began to express their opinions.
The giant's voice was as loud as thunder, and the fish-man's angry emotions were sometimes uncontrollable.
They discussed how to spread the news of Fish-Man Island to more people, and how to mobilize forces from all sides to jointly overthrow the old order.
At this moment, Dragon put his hands together, signaling everyone to be quiet.
He lowered his head slightly, his expression becoming more focused: "We can't rely on anger alone, we can't be too eager for success. As Jin has shown, we must have enough patience and strength, and wait until the time is ripe to shake this sea in one fell swoop."
At the same time, at the other end of the South Blue, Kuma stood in front of one of his squads, his huge figure like a mountain in the night.
In his hand was a letter from Jin, the words were concise and powerful, but it exhausted the current situation and future strategy.
"Kuma, when will we act?" A warrior stood beside him, his eyes flashing with anticipation.
Although the situation in the South Blue was relatively secretive, Kuma had already gathered a considerable force in the dark.
Kuma was silent for a moment, then he slowly raised his hand, signaling everyone to calm down.
"We will wait for the time to be ripe. Every step must be careful, and we must not let the World Government detect our intentions."
