Cao Ya stood on the deck, wearing a short-sleeved shirt and loose pants, with a knife casually hanging at his waist. He gazed into the distance, his eyes deep and his face somewhat weathered.

He's actually only twenty-five years old, but he's been a pirate for almost ten years.

Cao Ya, captain of the "Donglin" pirate crew, has a bounty of 100 million Berries!

It's not high, but in the first half of the Grand Line, it's definitely not low.

The current Supernova eleven are just pirates with bounties over 100 million.

After all, this isn't the New World, where pirates with bounties over 100 million are a dime a dozen.

In the first half of the Grand Line, being able to amass a bounty of over 100 million is quite impressive.

There is absolutely no such amazing person in the entire country.

"Captain, it's the commander on the phone." Just then, a crew member ran over with a Den Den Mushi (snail phone).

This thing is a unique creature in the One Piece world. It's roughly like a telephone, but it is indeed a living being with an extremely strong ability to mimic.

For example, right now, the Revolutionary Army Commander-in-Chief Dragon dials a phone, and the image of Dragon is displayed on the Den Den Mushi.

It's not exactly the same, but it's practically identical.

Cao Ya took the Den Den Mushi.

"Long, what's up?" Cao Ya asked directly, clearly showing that he had a good relationship with Long.

The Revolutionary Army was founded by Dragon, who serves as its commander-in-chief. He is recognized by the World Government as the "world's most dangerous criminal," and his level of danger even surpasses that of the four great pirate emperors of the New World.

The dragon's steady voice was perfectly imitated by the Den Den Mushi:

"We have received news that the Navy has declared war on the Whitebeard Pirates."

Cao Ya's heart skipped a beat. The Navy's public execution of Fire Fist Ace was a ploy to lure the Whitebeard Pirates into a trap, hoping to wipe them out in one fell swoop, severely cripple the pirate forces, and deter pirates in several oceans.

But the navy's plan was destined to fail.

The pirate forces are growing stronger and stronger for many reasons, but the most fundamental reason is the Celestial Dragons and the World Government, who are high and mighty.

The corrupt and decadent World Government, and the Celestial Dragons who consider themselves gods, are the root cause of the increasing number of pirates.

The Navy, however, dared not raise its sword against the World Government, much less disobey the Celestial Dragons' orders.

To be honest, the word "justice" behind the Navy should be written in blood.

Only by completely breaking free from the control of the World Government can the Navy truly return to the path of "justice".

Even if the Navy does a lot of things to maintain order and fight pirates, as long as they protect the World Government and the Celestial Dragons, the Navy can never be called "just".

It's just a matter of oscillating between "justice" and aiding and abetting evil.

Moreover, the corruption within the navy is equally appalling.

In comparison, the Revolutionary Army is the place Cao Ya wants to be.

Even though he temporarily left the revolutionary army because of a mission.

The Marineford War is about to break out... And the timing is also strange, with all eleven Supernovas appearing... Could it be that Dragon wants me to participate in the Marineford War?

Cao Ya asked:

"Should we get involved in the war between the Navy and the Whitebeard Pirates?"

Dragon denied it:

"No, that war between the navy and the pirates had nothing to do with us."

From the Revolutionary Army's perspective, both the Navy and pirates are targets to be eliminated.

However, some of the navy personnel and pirates can be recruited.

There are also some pirates and some marines who must be killed.

Dragon continued:

"Whitebeard is the 'strongest in the world,' and the Whitebeard Pirates are also the strongest pirate crew in the world. If the Navy wants to defeat the Whitebeard Pirates, it will definitely gather all its forces and even summon the Seven Warlords of the Sea. We will not get involved in this war."

“Yes, that’s what I think too.” Cao Ya nodded. What business is it of his, a revolutionary army member, to get involved in the war between the Whitebeard Pirates and the Navy?

The reason why Ivankov and his group got involved in the Marineford War was entirely due to Luffy's identity, which led to a misjudgment.

Actually, apart from being Dragon's son, Luffy has no other connection with the Revolutionary Army.

At this point, Sabo's memories had not yet awakened.

Moreover, at this time, the Revolutionary Army, after years of development, had established stations all over the world, with several fully-fledged military units, and was already preparing to overthrow the World Government. The final decisive battle was fast approaching.

The Revolutionary Army has no reason to get involved in the war between the Navy and the pirates.

The Revolutionary Army's enemy has always been the World Government.

The navy and pirates must be distinguished based on the actual situation, whether they are enemies, friends, or neutral.

In the original timeline, two years later, the Revolutionary Army will declare war on the World Government and the Celestial Dragons.

The dragon solemnly said:

"We have accumulated enough power now, and there are far too many oppressed people in the world... It is time, it is time to declare war on the world government."

Cao Ya, with a stern expression, confirmed again:

"Dragon, are you sure?"

He felt it might still be a bit early.

Dragon replied:

“I have this idea and plan to convene all the army commanders and officers to discuss it together. You are an officer, but because of your special status, you may not be able to return to ‘White Earth Island’ in time. However, I intend to give you a new mission.”

Baltigue, known as the "White Soil Island," was a base for the revolutionary army.

The Revolutionary Army consists of five armies: the Grand Line Army, the Eastern Army, the Western Army, the Southern Army, and the Northern Army, each with its own commander and deputy commander, as well as many officers.

"Please speak." Cao Ya gestured to the crew to bring paper and pen. The crew members were all revolutionary soldiers, so there was no need to be shy.

Hearing the Commander-in-Chief's words, they all seemed eager to try. Every Revolutionary Army soldier was impatient to overthrow the World Government and the Celestial Dragons' rule.

Previously, their fleet's mission was to disguise themselves as a pirate crew, fight against vicious pirates, gather intelligence, and trade between various islands to provide funds for the revolutionary army.

Now it seems that with the rise of the times, their mission will change.

Long seemed to know what Cao Ya was doing and interrupted:

"There's no need to write it down. This mission is for you alone. The Donglin Pirates will cease to exist. Warriors, head to the Kingdom of Kamabakka on Peach Island, one of the Grand Line Army's bases. I will also inform Ivankov. Once this is done, leave Impel Down as soon as possible and return home to take charge of your work."

Ivankov, the Queen of the Okama, is currently still in Impel Down. He is the king of the Kingdom of Kamabakka on Peach Island and serves as the commander of the Revolutionary Army's Grand Line Army.

The Donglin Pirates were assigned to the Grand Line Army by Dragon.

Cao Ya had no objection, and although the crew members were reluctant to part with him, none of them objected.

“Go to Mary Geoise, and Sabo will meet you,” Long said frankly. “I want to confirm a suspicion: if conditions permit, I will personally go to meet you to ensure everything goes smoothly.”

Cao Ya's heart skipped a beat, and he asked:

"What guess?"

Could it be confirmation of Im?

Dragon affirmed Cao Ya's idea: before declaring war, it would be best to confirm the true mastermind behind the World Government, the true owner of the Void Throne!
