While Kuro finalized the decisive battle, on the other side of the ocean, Cass, Wilbur, and Crowe, who were responsible for escorting David, were also having a meeting.
A combined fleet of warships and Dressrosa vessels sailed the seas, while on the throne ship of Dressrosa, a group of people were plotting something around a round table.
"Hey, I am the King of the Western Sea. What am I doing in the New World?"
Lowe said to everyone with a hint of helplessness.
Around this round table, all the members of the Crimson Spider Clan were gathered.
Number 1, Klo.
Number 2, David.
Number 3, Cass.
Number 4, Wilbur.
Number 5, Lowe.
And number 6, Kuzan...
"And what are you doing here? Didn't you become a general again?" Lowe asked Kuzan.
Kuzan scratched his head: "Oh well, there's nothing I can do. Even becoming a general again requires an audit. Those people upstairs gave me a good talking-to, and then they made me escort the king home. Well, after sending so many people, is David the last one?"
At this moment, Kuzan was no longer dressed as a vagrant, but had changed into the white navy vest he used to wear, as well as the familiar cloak of justice.
They didn't send the king away one by one; they sent him away together. David was the last one to be sent away.
“Me too! Me!” Lowe rolled his eyes. “I’m a king too, don’t pretend I don’t exist.”
"Forget it, you're more suited to assassination than to being an intelligence operative," Kuzan said nonchalantly.
Within this group of red spiders, the division of labor is quite clear.
Kuro was in charge of overall coordination, as well as anticipating Kuro's movements and relaying Kuro's messages.
David was in charge of carrying out the plan.
Cass was in charge of training the kingdom's soldiers, while Wilbur was responsible for teaching about the spirit of justice.
Lowe was in charge of intelligence, but he didn't do much assassination anymore.
As for myself... I'm the main combatant.
A small group with a clear division of labor.
"So, what's the purpose of this sudden meeting?" Kuzan asked.
Kuro is about to engage in a major battle, so they probably won't be able to spare the time during this period, making a meeting pointless.
"I initiated it."
Cass said in a deep voice, "It is precisely because there is no time later that I initiated this meeting. Mr. Kuro's speech when he took office as Marshal deeply moved me. Gentlemen, we should expand our scale."
"expand?"
Lowe paused for a moment: "No, we're already quite large. Even in this time of total war, it would be difficult to expand further."
He conquered the Flower Kingdom and had only just finished absorbing its power. Everything was just getting back on track. If he were to start over, he definitely wouldn't have enough manpower.
"I'm not saying expand your size, I mean expand the size of our Crimson Spider Clan!"
Cass suddenly became excited, seemingly intoxicated. He closed his eyes and danced with joy, saying, "Ah... Mr. Kuro's words are so impactful, so thought-provoking! I think Kuro's words make sense. We should fight wherever we are, and it shouldn't be just us who are fighting with ideals in mind. We should expand the scale and let everyone who has this ideal contribute their share!"
"What do you mean?" Lowe squinted.
I have a feeling... he has some rather terrifying ideas.
"Expand the Crimson Spider Swarm!"
Cass stood up and said passionately, "Let those who share the same goal join us, let them fight, let them fight anywhere, and we will provide them with more support as long as they are willing! The spider should not be a single entity, but rather an extension; we are the 'mother,' the 'children' that support their freedom of movement!"
He spread his arms wide, mimicking Kuro's words, and said, "No matter where we come from, we all have the same goal, we all have dreams in our hearts, regardless of our country, because wherever we go, it is our country!"
He pointed excitedly at David: "Today, we are the people of Dressrosa!"
Then, he pointed at Lowe: "Tomorrow, we are the people of the Insect Kingdom!"
"However, we all share only one identity: idealists who dedicate themselves to that ideal nation. We stand firm, we fight, and our identities are the same! For the same goal, to overthrow the feudal capitalist nation, forward, fight!!"
Cass clenched his fist and opened his eyes, which seemed to be filled with flames. "So we need to expand our scale. According to the draft, we also need to take a step forward!"
Kuzan nodded and said, "That's right. Kuro is now the marshal, and I've returned to being a general. We've already completed the fifth step."
When they decided to follow Kuro's outline, Kuzan hadn't joined yet, but they completed the first three steps in unison, and the fourth step was completed later. Many powerful individuals were attracted by their ideals and joined their ranks. With the completion of the fifth step, the next step is the sixth.
To exercise their innate sense of justice.
According to the draft, the World Government only represents the feudal capitalist aristocracy, while they should represent the vast majority of the people. They should oppose this and completely eliminate the feudal capitalist aristocracy represented by the World Government and the Celestial Dragons!
"The sixth step...does that mean we'll be exposed?" Lowe frowned. "Wouldn't that disrupt Kuro's plans?"
He rebelled as soon as he became marshal?
"Of course not."
Cass said seriously, "We are simply expanding the size of the Crimson Spiders. No one will know where they come from. These people who are expanding the size will support every country that needs the light of our ideals, even countries where the Revolutionary Army is at war. They need our support to make this world more equal and happy faster!"
"That's not bad."
Wilbur pondered, "We have candidates ready-made. Whether they are pirates or others, those who agree with serving under us will definitely be willing, rather than staying in one place forever!"
"That's right, it's time to complete the sixth step of the plan!"
Cass clenched his fist: "Gentlemen, let us fight together for that ideal and prosperous era!"
"oh!!"
David and Wilbur stood up and clenched their fists with Cass. Their eyes seemed to flicker with fire, or perhaps with a spark of electricity.
Klokuzanlowe and Klokuzanlowe exchanged a glance; they were not the type to do something so shameful.
Kuzan probably would have done that when he was younger, but now he doesn't have that passion anymore.
"Ara la..."
Kuzan scratched his head: "I have a feeling that I'm going to be something extraordinary in the future."
This was the first time he had ever heard of such a model. Expanding the Crimson Spider Clan to involve others in this great cause sounded like a collective effort. He had a feeling that once this decision was made, the world would become much more lively.
