One or two months... not long, not short. Before meeting the iceberg, Guan Liyuan had already confronted other cadres of the Revolutionary Army headquarters and asked them to start preparing for the "big fight" later!
Two years ago, when Ivankov led the team to send heads, it was too hurtful for the Revolutionary Army. When the headquarters held a meeting, the room was almost half empty. In addition, before Dorag strictly prohibited it, there were several rescues like Calabash Brothers saving Grandpa, which caused a lot of damage to the essence of the Revolutionary Army...
Except for Guan Liyuan, other cadres obviously did not expect to have the opportunity to "do a big fight" again in such a short time!
The sea train traffic circle centered on the Seven Waters City is already in the middle and rear part of the first half of the Grand Line. Going back is already the influence range of the Navy Headquarters Marinford. Therefore, in order not to alert the enemy, Guan Liyuan did not arrange too many means for the later part.
After "contacting" with the cadres of the Revolutionary Army in Water City, the Revolutionary Army began to concentrate its remaining forces in the first half of the Grand Line as Guan Liyuan said, and Guan Liyuan's next stop was "Fishman Island"...
While the war has not yet started, the Kingdom of Ryugu, which has the "Sea King", is undoubtedly a target that should be fought for.
The reason why the Kingdom of Ryugu is only "fought for" and not as a target to be focused on like Alabasta and the Seven Water Cities is mainly because of the racial attitude of the fishmen.
Since Tiger was killed by humans and Princess Otohime was assassinated, the fishmen have had a deep-rooted sense of rejection of humans. The "warm" reception of the humans on Fishman Island is only a last resort...
From the "folk custom" of the fishmen prohibiting blood donation for humans, we can see the inner barriers of the other party.
Although there is the instigation of "Hody Jones", it is indeed caused by humans... or the World Government. From a racial standpoint, the fishmen have nothing to blame.
Especially after the death of Princess Otohime, most of the fishmen now just want to live a good life in the sea and have given up their yearning for the world outside the deep sea.
Even now that fishmen slaves are banned, there are countless underground transactions, and the Celestial Dragons can even blatantly raise slaves of any race.
In the original work, two years later, when King Neptune of the Dragon Palace took Shirahoshi to attend the World Government Conference, Saint Charlos wanted to capture Shirahoshi as his slave on the street, and CP0, as an official agency, supported this behavior. This made Neptune very disappointed with humans and land for a time, and wanted to beat the Celestial Dragons and then go back to rely on the geographical advantage to close the country - even if it is the World Government, it is inconvenient to take action against Fishman Island at 10,000 meters in the deep sea. And
in the original work, it was Saint Musgard who saved Shirahoshi and prevented Neptune from turning against the World Government - that is, the Celestial Dragon who had pitted Saint Charlos once before.
In the original work, Saint Musgard, who is also a Celestial Dragon, beat Saint Charlos and told CP0 not to interfere in the matter, which naturally diluted the crisis.
And now Saint Musgard has become a core member of the Anbu, aiming to liberate all mankind and all races - but because of Guan Liyuan's dissuasion, Saint Musgard still wears an ugly waterproof ring and will not show his purpose in public. He still looks like an "idiot Celestial Dragon". It
is not accidental that Saint Musgard became a core member of the Anbu of the Revolutionary Army. It can even be said that the Revolutionary Army picked up a bargain...
The reason why the Revolutionary Army chose Saint Musgard as the target of development is because he is a "special" Celestial Dragon.
It's not the special bloodline, but the special experience!
First of all, among the 19 Celestial Dragons, Saint Musgard belongs to the "Don Quixote" lineage... Yes, it is the lineage where Doflamingo is.
When Saint Musgard was young, the scene of his uncle's family leaving the holy land of Marijoa undoubtedly left a deep impression in his heart. Because he was still young, he would think about what his uncle said, but the experience of his uncle's family later made Saint Musgard only think "I am a god and must be a god".
After firmly believing in this idea, Saint Musgard was no different from ordinary idiot Celestial Dragons, until eight years ago...
Saint Musgard, who liked fish-man slaves at that time, was no longer satisfied with buying or hiring slave-hunting teams, but came to Fish-Man Island in person!
As a result, the shipwrecked and drifted to Fish-Man Island... As a member of the "idiot Celestial Dragons", Saint Musgard also lacked the most basic "flexible" character. He still arrogantly threatened the fish-man with a gun to help him, and continued to clamor that he wanted to catch fish-man slaves. If it weren't for Princess Otohime to stop him, he might have been killed by the angry fish-man tribe - the fish-man tribe under the deep sea is much less afraid of the Celestial Dragons than humans on land.
At that time, Saint Musgard continued to be arrogant and even wanted to kill Princess Otohime. As a result, he was frightened by the young Shirahoshi and the sea kings that were attracted by accident. After that, Princess Otohime personally sent him back to the holy land of Marijoa, and also took the opportunity to lobby the Celestial Dragons and the World Government, hoping to achieve the sea migration of the fish-men...
It was also during this period of contact that Saint Musgard was influenced by Princess Otohime. At that time, Princess Otohime was able to bring back the letters of the Celestial Dragons, and Saint Musgard also made a great contribution.
At the same time, ten years later in the original work, when Shirahoshi was about to be kidnapped by Saint Charlos as a slave, Saint Musgard also took action directly, and claimed that "under the teachings of Princess Otohime, he has reformed and wants to be an upright person."
Therefore, after the Anbu approached Saint Musgard with a purpose, they soon discovered that he was somewhat different from the "idiot Celestial Dragon". That was the second year after the Anbu was established, which was five years ago...
Thanks to Guan Liyuan's timely "development" of Saint Musgard, he did not further expose his changes within the Celestial Dragons, but continued to play a role as an "idiot Celestial Dragon".
At the same time, because Hody Jones blamed the shooting of Princess Otohime on human pirates, the "desire to immigrate to the sea" sentiment driven by Princess Otohime in the eight years since the death of Princess Otohime on Fishman Island has disappeared.
If it were not for the Celestial Dragons' slave-hunting team, they would have the ability to sneak into the seabed 10,000 meters to attack - it is difficult to guard against thieves for a thousand days.
And if the Kai government is willing to pay a certain price, it is even more capable of launching a war against Fishman Island in the deep sea. Therefore, if the Kingdom of Ryugu still needs the status of a member country, the Fishman tribe's greatest hope should be to remove all the membranes of Fishman Island now and no longer have any contact with humans!
Unlike Alabasta and the Seven Water Cities, which are inevitable and will sooner or later become the targets of the World Government, the Kingdom of Ryugu can protect itself as long as it does not commit suicide. It has the flag of Whitebeard, the status of a member of the World Government, and the geographical advantage of the deep sea of 10,000 meters.
And even if the individual combat potential of the fishmen is far higher than that of ordinary humans, they just want to protect themselves!
Of course, the premise is that Shirahoshi's ability will not be leaked, otherwise the World Government is absolutely willing to pay the "price".
Guan Liyuan went to Fishman Island at this time, not simply to use the "Sea King" to threaten the Kingdom of Ryugu.
Although Guan Liyuan is inclined to "pragmatism", it does not mean that he can do whatever he wants to achieve his goal...
As for the Alabasta and Water 7 traffic circles, and even the ant-like branches in the four seas... those cannot be considered "exploitation". They are fighting for their own interests. It is true that Guan Liyuan needs them to attract the firepower of the World Government to facilitate the actions of the Revolutionary Army, but in fact, they are the ones who benefit in the end. On the contrary, the Revolutionary Army is "generating electricity with love".
As for Fishman Island...
If they don't want to immigrate to the sea at all, Guan Liyuan is not going to force them in. However, now that the war is imminent, whether they want to end up on Fishman Island with the Sea King or not, Guan Liyuan must first ensure that they will not stand on the opposite side of him. Whether to pull them in depends on their own ideas!
