Chapter 479

Soon, everyone arrived at the base's main hall. Inside, Kei Yuki smiled as he saw the group. With these people joining, the world was destined to change dramatically.

Meanwhile, on the other side of the ocean, in a certain country, two young men were looking at a newspaper, clicking their tongues in amazement.

"I can't believe Ranzuki and Kei Yuki, those two guys, actually caused such a huge commotion. Truly, appearances can be deceiving. To think that the seemingly coldest and the seemingly gentlest guys could pull this off... It's unbelievable," Sen Taki said.

Beside him, Minato nodded in agreement. He also hadn't expected Ranzuki and Kei to be capable of something like this.

"It seems they have a grand plan. Judging by the current world's movements, they're most likely trying to instigate a major war between the three big pirate crews in the New World and the World Government and Marines, aiming to deplete this world's high-end combat power," Sen analyzed Ranzuki and Kei's plan.

"It's definitely not just that. Ranzuki and Kei absolutely have other plans as well. It's just that we don't know what they are," Minato said, stroking his chin as he pondered the information in the newspaper.

"Who cares? They wouldn't directly overturn the entire world, right? With their strength, they can't achieve that. On the contrary, our the Revolutionary Army still lacks manpower. This is an opportunity for us, a chance to strengthen our ranks," Sen said. He saw the potential to expand the Revolutionary Army from this major incident.

"This war will undoubtedly cause widespread panic. The World Government's invincible image in people's hearts will further crumble. We can absolutely utilize this opportunity to spread our ideals," Minato voiced his thoughts.

After establishing their goal, the two didn't rashly create the Revolutionary Army. Instead, they thoroughly investigated the world. 

They discovered that the people of this world held a natural, deep-rooted awe and reverence for the World Government. The concept of "invincible" occupied a significant portion of their perception of the World Government.

However, the Revolutionary Army's goal was to overthrow the World Government. 

Their aim was to topple the entire regime. If they couldn't break the people's ingrained impression of the World Government, this mission would be impossible to accomplish.

Fortunately, the previous two major incidents had shaken people's belief in the World Government's invincibility, allowing the Revolutionary Army to be established smoothly.

However, the Revolutionary Army's numbers were still too small. Including the two of them, there were less than a hundred people in total. But it was worth mentioning that these hundred were almost all elites from various fields.

There were powerful pirates, people skilled at managing people, rulers, World Government officials, and even a Marine Vice Admiral!

"Indeed, this is a chance to expand the Revolutionary Army," Minato agreed, having also grasped this opportunity.

"Originally, the Revolutionary Army shouldn't have appeared on the stage so early. We still needed some preparations. But since Ranzuki and Kei are making big moves... let's see how this incident unfolds. 

"If it truly escalates into a world war, it will be a golden opportunity for us. Once the forces involved in this war suffer heavy losses, we can launch an incident and establish a major base for the Revolutionary Army. 

"But if the impact of this incident isn't that significant, we'll continue to adhere to our underground principles and develop our base. 

"Don't underestimate our current members. Although we are few, I firmly believe in what the Sage said: 'A single spark can start a forest fire.' Our strength will eventually become the overwhelming force that overturns the entire world."

As Minato spoke, his gaze shifted to a specific location on the map. If Ranzuki and Kei's plan succeeded, they could completely transform that area into the Revolutionary Army's base. 

That place was… the entire East Blue!

Within the World Government, two other individuals were also looking at the newspaper. They exchanged glances, seeing helplessness in each other's eyes.

"That Ranzuki, he's really a troublemaker. Every time, he forces us to change our plans," Uchiha Ei said irritably. 

His and Kurama Byaku's objective was to be spies within the World Government. Because they were both skilled in genjutsu, and genjutsu could achieve many unexpected effects in this world, they were the perfect choice for espionage.

However, how could they be content with just being spies? Their goal was to reach the upper echelons of the World Government and then assist Minato and Sen. 

Along with Ranzuki and Kei as pirates, Sarutobi Hoshi, along with others in the Marines, the nine of them would establish presense in the four most powerful factions in the future: the World Government, the Revolutionary Army, the pirates, and the Marines. 

As long as they became significant forces within these four factions, they could work together to overturn the entire world! For instance, they could instigate a world war involving all four powers.

Unfortunately, their plan was formulated after they joined the World Government, and they hadn't had time to communicate it with the others. So, it was unintentionally disrupted by Ranzuki and Kei.

"Since they want to make a fuss, let them. Let's use this opportunity to climb higher. After all, if this war unfolds according to our vision, the World Government will likely suffer heavy casualties, which undoubtedly provides us with an opportunity. 

Although we can't become the Five Elders, if we can become leaders of Cipher Pol, our plan will definitely succeed," Byaku said. They had no interest in becoming the Five Elders of this world. However, they didn't mind because they had their sights set on the leadership of Cipher Pol!

"Then let's wait for this incident to play out. Hopefully, everything goes smoothly."

In the Marines, Sarutobi Hoshi and two others were also together in the same place, the Marine academy. 

This was a school that cultivated elite Marines; where almost all graduates became officers. The most famous graduates were undoubtedly Akainu, Kizaru, and Aokiji.

After the previous incident of the Marine Headquarters being plundered, the Marine elites suffered heavy losses, with tens of thousands of elite Marines dying in Marineford. Such devastating casualties forced the Marines to conduct large-scale recruitment and training of new elites. 

Hoshi and the two others entered the Marines through this large-scale recruitment and, due to their outstanding performance, were assigned to the Marine academy to learn under Admiral Z.

Their mission was to become a significant force within the Marines, and their goal was to become Vice Admirals. The rank of Admiral was too conspicuous; becoming a Vice Admiral was sufficient for them. 

The trio was unaware of the outside world's events. In this special place, the Marines blocked all access to outside information. But it didn't matter; this incident would likely send them to the battlefield.
