Over the past decade, the Revolutionary Army and the Infinite Pirates have collaborated in many areas, with the Infinite Pirates even helping the Revolutionary Army hide from the World Government and the Navy.
Naturally, the Revolutionary Army ventured into the territory ruled by the Limitless Sea Area, allowing Dragon to witness the everyday lives of many ordinary people within it.
When he first saw the thriving, peaceful lives of the citizens, Dragon was incredulous. He later sent people to investigate many territories of the Infinite Pirates, and almost no island's inhabitants expressed resentment towards the rule of the Infinite Pirates; in fact, many strongly identified with it.
Through his investigations, Dragon discovered that the Infinite Pirates did not exploit the common people like other pirate crews. Instead, they ensured that the citizens lived well-fed and comfortable lives, and this had been the case for over twenty years. The Infinite Pirates had not changed their ways with the passage of time.
The ferocity of the Infinite Pirates was directed solely at outsiders who did not belong to their crew, but within that ferocity lay a gentleness towards the common people.
Perhaps the Infinite Pirates had attacked many kingdoms, causing countless deaths, but for the citizens in the waters ruled by the Infinite Pirates, they were the best and most benevolent rulers they had ever encountered.
This approach seemed very contradictory to Dragon; on one hand, it appeared brutal, yet on the other, it was exceptionally kind.
After years of development, Dragon realized that the governance philosophy of the Infinite Pirates aligned closely with that of the Revolutionary Army. Thus, he sent many people to the Limitless Sea Area to learn this method of governance, deepening the ties between the Revolutionary Army and the Infinite Pirates, and naturally improving the relationship between Dragon and Li Yuan.
"I've come to tell you that the final battle is about to begin. This world, I will take it!"
Li Yuan spoke with a calm yet confident tone.
Dragon was momentarily stunned. He was not taken aback by Li Yuan's imposing and confident demeanor, but by the words he had just spoken! The final battle was approaching, and if Li Yuan aimed to rule the world, it would inevitably mean overthrowing the World Government. This was completely in line with the ideals of the Revolutionary Army. At least in Dragon's view, Li Yuan ruling the world was far better than the World Government doing so.
He too wanted to overthrow the World Government and liberate the world, but he knew that the strength of himself and the Revolutionary Army was simply not enough to achieve that.
Currently, the only one capable of doing so was the man before him. Thus, Dragon grew close to Li Yuan, and the Revolutionary Army allied with the Infinite Pirates, all in hopes of contributing to the effort to overthrow the World Government.
"When will the war begin? What do you need me to do?"
Dragon understood that Li Yuan's visit was undoubtedly to enlist his help.
"Gather the elite of the Revolutionary Army and await my orders. When the time comes, we will act together. There is no need for a large-scale war; we only need to completely destroy Holy Land Mariejois and kill all the Celestial Dragons."
Li Yuan stated.
"I understand!"
Dragon suppressed the excitement in his heart as he spoke.
He had been waiting for this day for a long time, and it had finally arrived.
As for whether they would succeed, that was no longer something he needed to consider. If the Infinite Pirates could not succeed, then no one in this world could.
"You're agreeing so readily? I thought you would have some conditions!"
Li Yuan looked at Dragon in surprise.
Dragon's demeanor made him seem somewhat like Li Yuan's subordinate, but in reality, the Revolutionary Army had not yet submitted to the Infinite Pirates.
"If I were to propose conditions, would you agree?"
Dragon asked.
"That would depend on what conditions you propose. If they are excessive, I will not agree. If they are trivial, I have no problem agreeing to them."
Li Yuan shrugged.
"Then I would like to ask, if you were to rule the world, how would you treat it?"
Dragon asked seriously.
"How would I treat it? Naturally, I would treat it as it should be treated. You have seen how I govern the seas and territories under my command, haven't you?"
"I am very kind to my subjects. As long as they are not lazy, there will be no starvation. If they work hard, they can easily support their families. They only need to provide half a month's worth of rations to send their children to the schools I establish to learn to read and write, and they can also join the Limitless Sword Gym to become part of the Infinite Pirates."
"In short, my attitude towards my people is very good. Once I rule the world, the governance in other parts of the world will follow the same model as that of the Limitless Sea Area."
Li Yuan replied.
"That's enough; this is the requirement I have!"
Dragon sighed in relief.
What he needed was merely this promise. What is the significance of the Revolutionary Army? Isn't it to change this cannibalistic world? Now that the Infinite Pirates were doing better than the Revolutionary Army, he had nothing to say, and there was no reason for him to insist on doing it himself while preventing the Infinite Pirates from doing so! As for whether Li Yuan would keep his promise, that could only be proven with time.
"I see. Don't worry, I, Li Yuan, am a man of my word and will not go back on it. If you are interested in managing the world when the time comes, you can join in and help change the world together!"
Li Yuan's lips curled into a slight smile.
If Dragon enjoyed management, then he could naturally be made Li Yuan's assistant when the time came. Having an extra free tool would be something Li Yuan would not refuse.
"Really? Then I truly look forward to it!"
At that moment, Dragon smiled genuinely.
After Li Yuan finished talking with Dragon, he left, and Dragon naturally returned to the meeting room where he had just paused the discussion.
"Chief, has something good happened?"
Ivankov curiously asked, noticing the faint smile on Dragon's face.
It had been a long time since he had seen a smile on Dragon's face.
"The content of today's meeting has changed. What I say next must not be leaked."
Dragon's demeanor turned serious at that moment.
"Chief, everyone here is our trusted comrades. As long as you don't allow us to speak, we will absolutely not leak anything."
The people present assured him, patting their chests.
"Since that's the case, let's restart the meeting. The content of the meeting is to help the Infinite Pirates overthrow the rule of the World Government and the Celestial Dragons!"
Dragon said solemnly.
"Ah??????"
As soon as Dragon's words were spoken, the entire meeting room erupted in sharp roars!
Seeing the reaction of the crowd, Dragon's lips curled slightly.
Since Li Yuan was about to take action against the World Government, the Revolutionary Army naturally had to follow suit. Everything would begin with this meeting!
