One Piece: Mandala Swordsman

Chapter 184 Undercover work is a skill

"Ah, Dragon, it seems the Navy beat us to it? We were hoping to find some like-minded partners on Fishman Island, but the Navy seems to have seized the initiative. What should we do?"

The speaker had a huge face, an unusually large, dark purple frizzy hair that looked like it could easily hide a person, long and thick eyelashes, light blue eyeshadow, and purple lip gloss; his clothing was also quite bizarre: fishnet stockings and a cloak, a tight-fitting, low-cut bodysuit that revealed a large skull tattoo on his abs.

He appears to be dressed as a sexy woman, but his facial features exude a masculine charm.

Ambrio Ivankov.

At this moment, he was looking at the dragon with a worried expression, asking about the next step of the plan.

"No need to hesitate, just proceed according to the original plan. This is not bad news. The successful contact between the Navy and Fishman Island shows that the residents of Fishman Island are at least not people who cannot communicate properly. We still have a chance. Besides, my purpose in establishing this organization in the first place was not the Navy."

The man, wearing a dark green coat and with a red square tattoo on his left cheek, answered.

He was Monkey D. Dragon, the revolutionary who would later be known as the evil of the world, and also the son of the hero Garp, but he and his father took completely different paths.

Garp chooses to maintain the old order, but he vows to establish a new one, for which he is working tirelessly and searching far and wide for like-minded individuals.

Ivankov was one of those who embraced his ideas, and they were working towards a common goal.

It's really strange that the Navy would make this move.

Is it because they are short of troops and want to use the power of Fishman Island?

But the idea of ​​rescuing someone from the territory under the white beard is not like the style of the people around the old man.

Thinking of the faces of those old men in the navy, Long shook his head.

It couldn't be them.

Could it be that a new person has appeared in the Navy?

Dragon couldn't help but recall the news in the newspaper about the appearance of merfolk soldiers in Marineford.

Strangely, the navy personnel involved in the incident were not mentioned at all in the newspapers.

Given the Navy's usual practice, it's unusual for them to be so low-key when showcasing their achievements.

During his youth, his father's reputation as a naval hero had already spread throughout the world, and he was known to everyone. The navy always liked to name his father when reporting on his achievements.

However, they deliberately concealed information about the navy involved in the incident.

There are several possibilities.

Either their identities are sensitive and not suitable for widespread reporting.

Either there are exceptionally talented but immature individuals among them who shouldn't be exposed too early.

Has another monster appeared?

I really don't know if this is good news or bad news.

Dragon doesn't actually have much ill will towards the Navy, but he can't accept the Navy becoming the World Government's henchman. He knows that a Navy that obeys the World Government will inevitably clash with him sooner or later, and if he can, he doesn't want to fight against the Navy.

The World Government is difficult enough to deal with, but if the Navy is added to the mix, it will only become more difficult.

So, is it still necessary to place our own forces in the navy?

Long has no intention of dismantling the Navy's own power, but he needs to know some intelligence about the Navy.

However, this is not an easy task.

If nothing unexpected happens, it will take at least a few years to plant this piece, and decades for it to truly take effect.

The risks and difficulties involved are considerable. And finding the right person to do it is also a challenge.

So, we really have no choice but to use the system created by the World Government?

"By the way, you haven't forgotten the Kingdom of Kamabakka, have you?"

"How could I forget, Dragon? My little sweethearts idolize me! Under the influence of my Hormone Fruit, they'll all be captivated by my charm. Don't worry, I will become the Queen, and I'll definitely be your help then. By the way, what are you going to do about the bear?"

Bartholomew Bear.

The king of the Kingdom of Sorbe.

He was once hailed as the new king by the people after defeating invading pirates.

But even the king could not solve the financial problems.

In terms of martial prowess, Xiong is indeed a master, but such martial prowess cannot be used to govern a country.

Left with no other choice, Xiong became a vicious pirate, robbing people everywhere in order to save his kingdom.

However, this was only a drop in the bucket; the enormous amount of celestial gold each year became an unspeakable burden for the kingdom.

If the Heavenly Gold cannot be paid in full, the Kingdom of Sorbe will only face even more tragic days.

“His kingdom is different from mine; it's full of poor, ordinary people. Even if he joins the revolutionary army, he'll hardly get any help. But we can't just stand by and watch. For a gentle guy like him, seeing the people suffer is worse than dying himself.”

"I have considered this issue, but we need to ask Xiong for his opinion before we can implement it."

"As expected of a dragon, so you had this planned all along. Tell me about it, I'm super..."

"Let him negotiate with the World Government," Dragon said in a completely emotionless tone.

"I see, in that case... What? What?" Ivankov jumped up in surprise.

"You want him to negotiate with the World Government? Are you kidding me? Didn't you want to overthrow him? Besides, negotiating with the World Government isn't an easy thing. Even if Kuma is the king, but..." Suddenly, Ivankov understood what Dragon meant.

"There's no need for a head-on confrontation right now. We need more time. The best way to solve this problem now is through the Seven Warlords system," Dragon said calmly.

"but……"

Ivankov paused for a moment, then suddenly realized that what Long said made a lot of sense.

Kuma is both a king and a pirate, a special status that makes it entirely possible for him to join the Seven Warlords of the Sea.

Moreover, bears are quite powerful.

Moreover, bears have a weakness.

The Seven Warlords of the Sea may seem powerful now, but in the end, their relationship with the World Government is nothing more than mutual exploitation, and anyone could betray them.

Neither the World Government nor the Navy can truly trust the Seven Warlords of the Sea.

However, if the World Government has a weakness in its grasp, then it would be more reassuring.

“But isn’t that too dangerous for the bear? You know, if this is discovered, the bear will… But, it seems like a good idea, ah, dragon, you’re still as clever and ruthless as ever. Let me give you a loving hug to melt the coldness in your heart.” With that, Ivankov made a move to pounce on the dragon.

Of course, in the end, he received a big punch.
