Chapter 348: All-Out Attack and a Special Mission
After listening to Chen Ye's words, Long forced himself to calm down.
He looked at Chen Ye with an unprecedented level of trust and respect in his eyes.
At this moment, the dragon's face no longer held its usual solemnity.
All that remains is an unwavering determination to move forward.
He suddenly looked up.
His gaze swept over each cadre.
"Pass down the order."
The sound was made sure to reach everyone in the conference room.
"The revolutionary army is on full alert!"
"Initiate Level One War Status!"
This sentence is the switch.
It instantly ignited the entire conference room.
"Yes, Commander-in-Chief!"
Then everyone started working frantically.
Standing on the command platform, looking at the orderly ranks below, the flames in Long's eyes burned ever brighter.
He had waited too long for this day.
From the moment he established the revolutionary army, he knew that one day he would have to confront some behemoth head-on.
Now, the opportunity has arrived.
This time, he was determined to show the world the strength of the revolutionary army!
He then turned and walked toward Zefa, who had just returned to the conference room.
"Teacher Zephyr."
The dragon's tone was very serious.
"High-end combat power is crucial in this battle. The enemy is the World Government's top combat force, and it's even possible that the Five Elders will be present. Please."
Zefa looked up, his eyes flashing coldly behind his sunglasses.
He didn't reply.
Two fists covered in Armament Haki collided violently.
Zefa's face wore a ferocious yet expectant smile.
"Hmph, so this day has finally come?"
His voice was hoarse and rough, carrying the menacing aura of someone returning from hell.
"Leave it to me, Dragon. I heard that Kizaru or some other guy is going too? Borsalino..."
He read out the students' names, his teeth grinding together.
His aura suddenly erupted.
"My fists have been itching for a long time!"
"That bastard who only knows how to rely on the Glint-Glint Fruit and ignores my teachings—I almost died at his hands last time! This time, I'm going to teach him a lesson myself! Let him know what true 'power' really is!"
A terrifying fighting spirit spread out like a shockwave.
The communications soldiers turned pale and instinctively retreated.
Long nodded, a look of satisfaction flashing in his eyes.
With Zefa, this fierce tiger, leading the revolutionary army, there shouldn't be any problems with the deployment of troops.
He looked to the other side of the conference room.
In the shadows, a tall figure leaned lazily against the wall.
With a green blindfold covering his face, he remained oblivious to the surrounding noise.
"Kuzan, who just came back with Zeff."
The dragon's voice wasn't loud, but it had extremely strong penetrating power.
The figure froze for a moment.
A long sigh.
A large hand slowly pushed up the eye mask, revealing a pair of sleepy yet sharp eyes.
"Oh dear... Is another war about to break out?"
Kuzan scratched his messy curly hair and yawned.
"With such a commotion, I can't even pretend to be asleep. Tell me, Dragon, what do you want me to do? If it's to beat up a former colleague, it'll really hurt our relationship, especially if Borsalino is around too, it'll be a real problem."
The dragon didn't waste any words.
He took out a document and handed it to Kuzan.
The voice was kept very low.
"Kuzan, you don't need to participate in the frontal assault. Zephyr and I will lead the frontal attacks."
The dragon's eyes were as sharp as knives.
"I have a special mission for you, a mission that only you in the entire revolutionary army can accomplish."
Kuzan took the document.
The Revolutionary Army's top-secret sealing wax stamp.
"This is related to our escape route from Future Island, and also to whether that old man Vegapunk can bring the 'Spark' out alive."
"Dragon said in a deep voice."
"Once war breaks out, every sea area will be completely surrounded by naval warships. I need you to use your abilities to create an 'absolutely safe' passage for us and the Straw Hat crew at a crucial moment."
Kuzan opened the file and quickly glanced at it.
His lazy gaze instantly sharpened like a knife.
The oppressive aura emanating from "Admiral Aokiji" vanished in an instant.
He closed the file, tucked it into his pocket, and reverted to his lazy demeanor, scratching his hair.
"This is really a tough job... not only do I have to be a nanny, but I also have to be a combat engineer."
Ku sighed, but a smile curved his lips.
"To clear a path through that level of encirclement, while also keeping it hidden from the World Government's eyes and ears... they really know how to order people around. Fine, I'll take the job. After all, I owe Straw Hat a favor, and... I also want to see what secrets that old man Vegapunk is hiding that warrants the Five Elders' personal involvement."
Please.
Dragon patted Kuzan on the shoulder.
After the order is issued.
Within minutes, the crowded meeting room was empty.
Only two people remained.
Long, and director Chenye who was sitting next to the main seat.
Chen Ye got up and walked to Long's side.
He didn't look at the dragon; instead, his gaze fell on the huge world map on the wall.
The area of the New World was densely marked with red markers.
"I'll leave this to you."
Chen Ye's voice was calm, as if he were talking about a stage play.
"After you've finished packing, immediately lead the main force of the Revolutionary Army to lie in ambush in the waters off Future Island. Remember, it's ambush. Don't reveal yourself until all the actors have arrived."
Long nodded heavily, his eyes serious as he looked at the small dot of "Future Island" on the sea chart.
"Understood. I will control the marching speed, use my abilities to cover the fleet, and cut into the battlefield at the crucial moment. I will never let the Five Elders detect our movements."
"The sooner the better."
Chen Ye stretched out his finger and tapped it twice on the sea chart.
"The Five Elders will act faster than you think. And as for the other two forces, Whitebeard and Redhead, you can leave them to me. The stage for this show is vast, but the core is on that island."
Long turned to look at Chen Ye, his eyes filled with complex emotions.
This man truly treats the entire world as a chessboard.
"Mr. Chenye, what do you think... how are Luffy and the others doing now?"
Dragon couldn't help but ask.
He was, after all, a father.
Chen Ye walked towards the exit.
That is the light that leads to the ground.
His gaze was deep, piercing through the rock layers and the vast ocean, landing on the Sunny amidst the wind and waves.
"I guess Luffy and his crew are already on their way, or maybe they've even arrived."
Chen Ye's lips curled up, revealing a playful smile.
"You know how much trouble that kid can cause. Wherever he is, the sky will fall. Since Vegapunk asked for help, Luffy will definitely not stand idly by. We need to hurry, otherwise by the time we get there, he might have already turned some island upside down."
Long smiled wryly and shook his head.
Helpless, yet proud.
"Yeah, that kid never lets anyone have an easy time."
"Dragon said in a low voice."
The image of that grinning boy shouting that he wanted to be the Pirate King flashed into my mind.
"But he is also the person most capable of creating miracles."
"A miracle?"
Chen Ye turned around and looked at the dragon.
"This time, no miracle is needed. Because we are the miracle itself."
Their eyes met in mid-air.
Needless to say.
This is the tacit understanding between comrades-in-arms regarding life and death.
"Fight, dragon!"
"Let the world witness the Revolutionary Army. Let the Five Elders experience firsthand what it means to be 'enemies of the world.'"
Long Meng turned around.
He then strode towards the exit with Chen Ye, each step firm and resolute.
