Chapter 82 Fire Seed
In the dim and silent Ship Cabin, only a Gas Lamp emitted a weak Radiance. There was not a single sound, and the oppressive environment could make anyone who entered here feel tense.
However, Dorag was sitting quietly on the chair at this time, without even releasing his Observation Haki, it could be said that his vigilance was reduced to the lowest point.
Looking at the white Cloak hanging on the wall behind him, imprinted with the word Justice, Dorag's heart was a little disturbed.
Suddenly, the atmosphere in the Room became chaotic!
The hair on Dorag's Body even swayed slightly, an instinctive reaction of his Body encountering a Threat.
Dorag suddenly moved his Body, and in the small Room, he was even more agile than a Spirit Ape, as if the narrow Space could not hinder him, but instead became his home ground.
However, to Dorag's surprise, his right hand, covered in Armament Color and taking the form of a Dragon Claw, was firmly grasped at the wrist by another hand.
"As expected of Garp's son, this Armament Color and Observation Haki are truly outstanding. You almost predicted my prediction, but unfortunately, in the end, I still predicted that you would predict my prediction."
As his voice fell, Nicholas, wearing a Mask, appeared in front of Dorag.
Facing the man who suddenly appeared before him, speaking words Dorag couldn't understand, Dorag widened the distance and remained vigilant. After all, the fact that the other party could sneak in here silently already indicated that he was not a simple character.
Looking at Dorag's expression, and the glances he cast towards outside the Room, Nicholas smiled and then spread his hands, saying, "Don't worry about your subordinates, I haven't done anything to them, just made them take a nap. But seriously, your subordinates' vigilance is really low."
"That's none of your concern. Who are you, and what's your purpose?"
After confirming that his subordinates outside were alright, Dorag visibly relaxed a lot. Although his subordinates were not very strong, after spending a long time together, he had developed some feelings for them.
Nicholas didn't answer Dorag, but instead pulled a chair from the side and sat down just like that. Then, he stretched out his hand towards the chair on the other side, signaling Dorag to sit down and chat.
Although he didn't understand the other party's intention, Dorag couldn't bring himself to follow the other party's wishes, or rather, he was unwilling to follow the other party's train of thought, and just stood there looking at Nicholas sitting in the chair.
"Vice Admiral Dorag is a Headquarters Vice Admiral?" Nicholas said, looking at Dorag standing there, a sense of distraction in his heart. "It seems that in every Era, there will be a group of people with great ideals appearing?"
"That's right," Dorag said concisely.
Nicholas suddenly understood. No wonder Garp later wanted to train Ace, Luffy, and Sabo to become Marines. Dorag became a Headquarters Vice Admiral at such a young age, it could be seen that his future was limitless.
In the future, he was almost guaranteed to be an Admiral candidate, and with his connections in the Navy, it was not impossible for him to become a Fleet Admiral. But in the end, he directly ran away to form the Revolutionary Army and opposed the World Government.
So Garp must have regrets in his heart, which is why he placed high hopes on the Luffy brothers.
It was clear that Dorag was not a talkative person, so the Room fell silent for a long time.
Until the Gas Lamp placed on the table flickered, Nicholas then looked at Dorag seriously and asked in a deep voice, "I heard what happened on that Pirate Ship earlier, and what Vice Admiral Dorag said. I want to ask, in your heart, what is Justice?"
Hearing Nicholas's words, Dorag was taken aback, then looked at the strange masked man and said calmly, "I don't know."
After all, before knowing the other party's identity, only a fool would reveal his thoughts.
"You're really vigilant. Don't worry, I'm not one of the rats and Hunting Dogs under the World Government."
As expected of the guy who would later be listed as the number one dangerous figure by the World Government, his vigilance at this time is simply unmatched. But that's right, if he wasn't vigilant, he would have been killed by the World Government long ago, how could he stir up trouble everywhere.
Nicholas continued to talk to himself.
"What is Justice? Is the Navy considered Justice? In the eyes of most Ordinary People, the Navy should be considered Justice.
After all, although there are some pests within the Navy, compared to Pirates, the Navy is already quite good, at least they still protect Ordinary People.
But this is just comparing who's less bad. The Navy is not bad, but you probably know better than I what the World Government and the World Nobles Celestial Dragons above the Navy are like.
For Member States, they need to collect a large amount of Celestial Tribute every year, and for Non-Member State, they even secretly instigate unrest within these countries, and even fund surrounding countries to attack them. Wasn't the shadow of the World Government also behind the War between Various Kingdoms and Germa 66 in the North Blue a few years ago?"
"So what exactly are you trying to say?"
Dorag frowned and asked after hearing Nicholas's words.
"In my opinion, many things in this world can be solved with a Fist, but when it comes to revolution, Power alone is not enough.
Therefore, if you want to change the world, you not only need Power, but also more like-minded Partner and support from countless Ordinary People!"
"So what exactly do you mean!?"
"I don't mean anything, just want to give you a little advice. After all, your ideas are very dangerous for the World Government, and I don't want the person who can cause trouble for the World Government in the future to die young.
As for my purpose, it's very simple, just to cause some trouble for the World Government, so they don't have enough energy to bother me.
Also, the Celestial Dragons and the World Government make me a little unhappy, but I don't want to directly confront them myself, so I need someone or something big enough to shake the World Government's rule to stand in front."
Hearing Nicholas's words, Dorag's vigilance actually decreased.
Many times, if someone's promises are all benefits, or various advantageous things, then you need to be careful, because there's an eighty percent chance they're trying to trick you.
"So, start a revolution, Dorag!"
Nicholas said suddenly.
"Do you know what the consequences will be if the World Government finds out about these words of yours?"
Dorag looked at Nicholas with a serious face.
"You won't tell, will you? Besides, the World Government?"
Saying this, Nicholas took off the Mask on his face.
"Let's disembark at Sabaody Archipelago. Our next destination is Marineford."
After speaking, Dorag turned and left.
"Dorag... Revolutionary Army..." Watching Dorag's Warship gradually disappear into the distance, Nicholas couldn't help but sigh.
Unlike revolutions where everyone is just ordinary people, with flesh and blood bodies and two shoulders carrying a head, the Pirate World is a world where great Power belongs to oneself. If you want to start a revolution in this world, it is impossible without enough Strength and influence.
After all, in this world, even when Luffy was at Fish-Man Island, a single Haki directly knocked down 50,000 people, not to mention those existences that can rival a country alone.
"However, the Fire Seed has already been sown, the future is truly something to look forward to!"
After speaking, Nicholas's figure also disappeared from the Wharf. Next, he was going to meet an Acquaintance.
