“Gotei 13”

At Dragon's declaration, everyone present applauded with excitement, including Yamamoto who was able to witness the creation of the Revolutionary Army. And well the Soul Society, which is a change he brought to this world.

[DING! Congratulations on founding the Revolutionary Army and making a big change by founding a political organization!]

[Starting secondary mission...]

Yamamoto was surprised by the system's pop-up window. He hadn't expected that the creation of the revolutionary army would bring with it a secondary mission.

After a few seconds, the system window appeared again explaining the new secondary mission.

[Every army must have a defined hierarchy and organization. So your task is to create a hierarchy and organization for the new revolutionary army and have it accepted by all current members]

*If I am not mistaken, the original revolutionary army had 5 armies, one in each Blue and one in the Grand Line, the supreme leader was Dragon and the second in command was Sabo* said Yamamoto while remembering.

As one of the founders, he did not plan to give Dragon total leadership over the army, although he did not plan to keep it to himself either. He had a more democratic idea in mind.

When the applause ceased, Dragon took a seat and spoke again, "Now our main objective would be to become more powerful, and for that, we need to recruit people."

"Yes that is one of the central objectives, but first we should raise the hierarchy of the army" said Yamamoto.

"That's right, who will be the leader of the army?" asked Clover.

The room fell silent, as many glances crossed each other's eyes. The answers on everyone's mind were two, Dragon or Yamamoto.

"I don't think it's a good idea to have a supreme leader who can manage the entire army. In doing so we will be following in the footsteps of the World Government, and most pirates, why should the strongest person have to make the decisions?" said Yamamoto as he scratched his beard.

Dragon and everyone else pondered over the words Yamamoto said, after a few seconds someone asked.

"So what do you suggest?" it was Ivankov who was looking at Yamamoto curiously.

In this world the law of the strongest ruled, so for anyone to say otherwise was rare, even the original Revolutionary Army was led by Dragon and his orders were supreme.

"Democracy again?" asked Clover.

"Yes, but they will have no relation to the political organization. The members of the revolutionary army will have the power to vote and for important decisions, there will be meetings where the current problems will be discussed" answered Yamamoto.

"It would be very difficult to have a meeting where all the members of the revolutionary army participate, even though it has just been created, we will need thousands of soldiers to fight against the World Government" said Dragon.

"That is true, but not all members of the army will participate, it would be too complicated to hold a meeting. I suggest that the revolutionary army will have several divisions. Each division will have a leader and this leader will have the right to vote in the meetings to make important decisions" explained Yamamoto.

"Oh, there are several pirates who use that method. The Barbablanca Pirates have several divisions" commented Ivankov.

"I think it's a good idea, but every army must have a leader figure, someone to follow and trust, although it is true that we would be following in the footsteps of pirates or the World Government, I think the leader figure is fundamental" said Dragon.

"It's true" nodded Ivankov agreeing with Dragon.

"Then there can be a General Commander who will be the leader of the divisions that are in the revolutionary army and also the leader of the 1st Division. In the periodic meetings with the other leaders, he will have a more valuable vote, however, his power is not supreme and he will not be able to do as he pleases" suggested Yamamoto.

The hierarchy that Yamamoto was putting forward was identical to that of the Gotei 13, however, the different thing is that here there is no Central 46 who are the ones giving orders to the Gotei 13.

"I agree, although I'm more interested in the political organization, since I have no combat strength, I don't think it's good that there is a supreme leader who can order whatever he pleases" said Clover showing his support to Yamamoto.

Dragon was silent, thinking. First of all, he didn't have something so complicated in mind, but what Yamamoto said was true, why should there be a supreme leader? He would only follow in the footsteps of the World Government.

And with the figure of the General Commander, the problem of the figure of the leader for the soldiers was solved. Besides, his power is not supreme, because if the leaders of the divisions vote the majority against him, he will not be able to carry out his plans.

However, he has an advantage as his vote is more valuable, and by holding such a title he should have the most support within the army.

"I agree, that great change brings new forms of hierarchy and power. But how will the Commander General be chosen?" asked Dragon looking at Yamamoto.

Yamamoto knew Dragon was asking him who of the two of them, will hold such a title. He didn't have an answer for this, as Dragon was the mind that came up with the idea of creating the revolutionary army, he wouldn't mind if it was him, the Commander General.

Anyway, already with the political organization he had a lot of work to do.

"You were the one who came up with the idea of forming the Revolutionary Army, for me if you are the General Commander and the leader of the first division there is no problem" Yamamoto replied.

"At first I wanted to be, but I think you are more suitable" Dragon said as he took out a newspaper and put it on the table. Yamamoto was surprised by such action, he took the newspaper and started to read it.

'Luckily Morgans did his job' thought Yamamoto with a smile.

In the newspaper, he told how he killed the Celestial Dragon, the King, and the marine Rear Admiral, although this was the least important thing. His goal that his actions could not be hidden by the World Government had been successful.

"How did you get the newspaper?" asked Yamamoto curiously. This one had come out less than a day ago and Yamamoto knew that on this island the birds that sell newspapers didn't arrive.

"I did it, I have my ways" said Ivankov as he winked at him.

At this, Yamamoto frowned slightly and decided not to ask any more questions.

"The whole world must be aware of your actions in killing a World Noble, the World Government will not rest until they catch you even more than the pirates. With all this, I think your figure is the right one to be the leader of the army to overthrow the World Government" Dragon explained.

Yamamoto nodded, it was true that now he became the worst criminal of all, and all the people who have hatred for the Government will see him as the person to follow.

"That's true... but I don't agree to be the Commander General" said Yamamoto as he put the newspaper down on the table.

Everyone at the table looked at him with surprised faces, no one expected that someone would reject such a position.

"Since the two of us are the candidates for Commanding General, I propose that once we get leaders for all the divisions, a vote be taken" said Yamamoto in a calm tone.

"The division leaders will vote for you or me, whoever wins such a vote will be the Commanding General" Yamamoto continued.

In this way, Yamamoto thought, democracy would remain and the one with the most support within the revolutionary army would win.

"Good idea, that way there will always be democracy" said Kuma speaking for the first time.

'What a noble man, holding the position of leader for the army decides to hold a vote' thought Ivankov with admiration towards Yamamoto.

"I didn't know that you were also good in the political area" said Clover with admiration towards his friend.

"Yes..." said Yamamoto.

"Sounds good to me, but how many divisions will there be in total?" asked Dragon.

"13" replied Yamamoto.

"As I said before, the post of Division 1 leader will be given to the Commanding General" he added.

[Congratulations! You have completed the initial hierarchy of the Revolutionary Army. Now you must gather 11 powerful people to take the position of division leader.

Captain 3rd Division: Empty.

Captain 4th Division: Empty.

Captain 5th Division: Empty.

....]

Yamamoto reading this was surprised, as it was the first time the system had given him a continuous mission. He noticed that there were vacancies for the position of captain or leader from the 3rd Division to the 13th Division.

The 1st Division and the 2nd Division were occupied by Dragon and him, depending on their voting results.

Seeing that this mission had no time limit he sighed in relief, who knows how long it would take to have so many powerful people who could lead an entire division.

"So there are 11 openings for the position of leader of each division" Dragon nodded.

The one who loses will take the 2nd division leader position.

"Why 13?" asked Tesoro.

"I like the number..." replied Yamamoto.

"How will the leaders of each division be chosen?" asked Clover.

Dragon with his hand on his chin after a few seconds replied, "Minimally every leader should have the strength of a vice admiral, to be fit for the position, what do you think?"

"Yes, it sounds good to me. As the two of us are the candidates for the title of Commanding General, we will be responsible for presenting the candidates for the position of leader of each division" said Yamamoto.

"But, that way won't the candidates you choose vote for you and the same for Dragon?" asked Clover, not seeing the sense in this, since it is clear that the candidates Yamamoto proposes will vote for him and vice versa.

"Yes, that's the idea. That way, the one who gets reliable and powerful people as quickly as possible will be the winner" Yamamoto replied.

"I see it well, that way we will also be evaluated as leaders since we will have to put skilled people in the position" said Dragon agreeing.

"One doubt, does the division number indicate its strength? I mean, division number 1 is the most powerful, then division number 2 follows, and so on" asked Tesoro.

"No, it doesn't matter the division number, they are all equal in rank. The only one who will have a higher rank will be the captain of Division 1 since he was elected Commanding General" replied Yamamoto.

The others agreed with this, they did not see the need to create a power ranking between divisions.
