Because Kerla mentioned Ivankov in her account, Sabo was curious and asked:
"Why are they here too? And helping the Whitebeard Pirates... Logically, they should be in Impel Down."
Cao Ya laughed heartily upon hearing this.
Kella smiled, but Sabo was completely baffled.
Long remained completely unmoved.
Kella answered softly:
"Because of Monkey D. Luffy, who is the son of Dragon, Ivankov misunderstood and that's why he followed Luffy and caused trouble at Marineford."
Sabo was dumbfounded.
Straw Hat Luffy… that pirate, is he Dragon's son? Isn't that Garp's grandson… wait, doesn't that mean…
Sabo suddenly turned his head and looked at the calm-faced dragon with utter astonishment.
Long said calmly:
"Although Luffy is my son, he has his own path to follow."
It's been confirmed. I didn't say anything before because I didn't want to implicate my family, but now that the Navy has announced it, it doesn't matter anymore.
He believed that his father and Luffy could protect him and that nothing would happen to him.
On the eve of Kuma's complete transformation, he had a special conversation with him about the Straw Hat Pirates.
Cao Ya's eyes flickered slightly. Because Ace hadn't died and hadn't suffered this major shock, and Sabo's memories hadn't awakened, he still couldn't remember that Luffy was his brother.
If they remembered this, they would probably be surprised.
Sabo was still a little dazed.
Dragon's father is Garp, a naval hero and legendary vice admiral, and his son is Straw Hat Luffy, one of the Pirate Supernovas... What kind of family is this?
"Don't look at me like that. You'll be surprised by many more things in the future," Cao Ya said lazily.
The dragon coughed:
"Korla, inform Ivankov to have them return to the Kingdom of Kamabakka and take charge of the Grand Line Army."
"War is about to begin!"
Long gripped the deck railing with both hands, his tone wistful, then firm.
For the new era, the revolutionary army fears no death!
Sabo, Kerla, and other revolutionary soldiers were all solemn and cautious, yet also excited.
After so many years of lying low and accumulating strength, it is finally time... to declare war on the corrupt world government!
Cao Ya also became serious. This was a real war, a war that would not stop until one side was wiped out.
Compared to this war, the Marineford War was insignificant.
The future world of One Piece will not be peaceful.
However, before that, they needed to safely send the slaves off the ship. Those who were willing to stay and join the revolutionary army were, of course, welcome.

The next day, the newsbird carried the newspaper all over the world.
"Shocking! Revolutionary Army wreaks havoc in the Holy Land of Mary Geoise! Great liberation of slaves!"
"Times have gone mad! Whitebeard is dead, the Navy is defeated, and Blackbeard rises to power amidst the chaos!"
This isn't a single-page headline, it's a double-page headline.
Cao Ya and his group's rampage at Mary Geoise, the holy site of the World Government, and the liberation of thousands of slaves, was reported in the newspapers. Cao Ya read it, and although there was some embellishment, it was generally considered to be without major problems.
The newspaper only omitted a small part.
"Hey, Morgans still lacks guts, he didn't even report on the King of Pop." Cao Ya curled his lip.
Sabo laughed:
"I suppose the president of the World Economic News Agency, Morgans, the 'Big News', wasn't there and didn't know the king had made his move?"
Cao Ya shook his head and said:
"Impossible! With the sheer scale of that final commotion, it's impossible that the World Economic News Agency couldn't have uncovered it."
He understood Morgans' concerns: the Heavenly King was an ancient weapon, and if the news got out, would he even want to live anymore?
As for that Lord Im, Cao Ya wasn't sure whether Morgans knew about him or not.
After all, it's also possible that the Five Elders were the ones who activated the Heavenly King.
On the surface, the Five Elders are the highest power holders in the World Government.
“'Fire Fist' Ace…” Sabo stroked Ace’s wanted poster on the newspaper, frowning slightly.
For some reason, when he looked at "Fire Fist" Ace's portrait, he would always feel some special emotions.
This bothered him greatly, and he couldn't figure out why.
Besides "Fire Fist" Ace, there's also Straw Hat Luffy, who gives him a special feeling.
Kerla turned to the second page and was momentarily surprised:
"Hey, look! Our bounties have all gone up, especially the leader's... Let me count them..."
Cao Ya casually flipped to the second page of the report about the revolutionary army and couldn't help but smile.
Monkey D. Dragon, the "world's most dangerous criminal" and commander-in-chief of the Revolutionary Army, has a bounty of 10.1 billion Berries!
Cao Ya, a revolutionary army cadre and captain of the Donglin Pirates, has a bounty of 5.3 billion Berries!
Bello Betty, a revolutionary army cadre and commander of the Eastern Army, has a bounty of four billion!
The newspaper listed the bounties for Long, Cao Ya, and Bello Betty, which were several times higher than before.
Dragon is alright. Although his bounty is outrageous and the highest in the world, his bounty was already extremely high before, exceeding five billion. Now it has only doubled.
However, Cao Ya and Bello Betty saw their earnings increase several dozen times.
Koala was quite worried that the significant increase in bounties for Revolutionary Army soldiers would inevitably affect the greedy desires of pirates and bounty hunters.
This could have some negative impact on the revolutionary army's operations.
"What's so funny? Cao Ya, aren't you worried?" Sabo asked.
Cao Ya chuckled:
"What's there to be afraid of? Roger is dead, Whitebeard is dead, and apart from Dragon, my bounty is the second highest in the world. Kaido, Big Mom, and Shanks are all inferior to me."
"..." Sabo was speechless. So you were proud of this thing.
Kerla exclaimed in amazement:
"Before this, the 5.5 billion bounty of Pirate King Roger was the highest bounty in the world, but now it has been broken by Dragon's 10.1 billion."
As she spoke, she found it utterly unbelievable:
"What are those guys at the World Government thinking? 10.1 billion...can they even afford it?"
Sabo rolled his eyes:
"What are you saying? Will the dragon be killed?"
Kerla stuck out her tongue and smiled sheepishly.
Cao Ya stroked his chin and pondered:
"Long has surpassed 10 billion. There's no hope for me to catch up with his bounty."
He scratched his head in distress as he spoke.
"..." Sabo, Kerla.
Long said in a daze:
"Stop joking around. Think carefully about the next steps, all the plans and stuff. War... is not a game."
"Yes." Cao Ya's expression was serious. The revolutionary army's first battle had to be fought brilliantly, as that would greatly boost morale.
This newspaper was spread all over the world by newsbirds.
Therefore, the revolutionary army stole the limelight from the Marineford War.
In reality, there were no winners on either side in the Marineford War; it was a lose-lose situation. The winner was Blackbeard.
The Navy's intention is also to suppress the issue and reduce related reports.
Moreover, compared to the World Government headquarters and the Holy Land Mary Geoise, Marineford, the Marine Headquarters, is indeed not up to par.
After all, only Fisher Tiger, the fishman, had previously caused havoc in Mary Geoise.
This is the second time.
Such a massive move... the Revolutionary Army, which has avoided direct confrontation with the World Government and Navy for so many years... is it about to declare war on the World Government?
Everyone was eager to see more reports about the revolutionary army.
