Chapter 110: Teaching

Port of Hope,

"Members of the Donquixote Family, please come this way."

As a massive merchant ship towing a pirate ship sailed into the harbor that was under reconstruction, the workers on the pier glanced at the twin dragon flag flying atop the mast and continued to focus on their tasks.

"This is the cargo list. Please organize your crew to unload it."

Facing the document handed to him by Rosinante, a young man wearing a bear-shaped helmet and holding a 'cigarette' in his mouth nodded.

"We thank you for your assistance. The entire 'Revolutionary Army' will not forget your kindness."

Terry Gildeau,

If it weren't for the bear helmet on his head, he would have looked like a slightly more robust ordinary man.

However, in reality, he was one of the earliest supporters of Dragon's 'Revolutionary Army,' and under Dragon's guidance, his strength had rapidly soared. He was now Dragon's right-hand man.

"Kindness doesn't matter; it's mutual benefit."

Although Rosinante said it lightly, the Revolutionary Army was facing a severe shortage of various resources. If it weren't for the support of the Donquixote Family, they would probably still be worrying about food.

The World Government had also taken notice of this emerging force, especially after discovering that their leader was 'Dragon' and that their ideological propaganda was shaking the rule of the Celestial Dragons after eight centuries.

Almost all of the CP organizations in the North Sea had infiltrated these sixteen nations. Just the agents caught by Dragon numbered in the dozens.

"By the way, there's a box of cigarettes in this shipment."

After finishing the business at hand, Rosinante pointed to the merchant ship anchored nearby.

"Smoking dry leaves to curb addiction is too shabby, isn't it?"

After saying that, Rosinante walked towards Doflamingo, who was waiting ahead.

And behind him, Terry Gildeau, the man in the bear hat, took a deep breath, clenched his teeth, swallowed his saliva, and inhaled a puff of 'cigarette' made from dry leaves. Then he turned and instructed the others:

"Tear open and disperse that box of cigarettes, storing them as anti-inflammatory and insect-repelling medicine!"

Compared to personal enjoyment, the survival of the masses was the top priority.

...

Walking through the bustling harbor, Rosinante and Doflamingo chatted as they went.

"Truly a follower of Dragon. This level of understanding is not something ordinary people can match."

Although it was just cigarettes, the cleanliness of the Revolutionary Army's atmosphere was evident even in this minor detail.

"Fufufu, strong individuals should enjoy better treatment."

Doflamingo didn't agree with this.

"If it weren't for the pursuit of a better life, higher authority, and unrestricted freedom, how could people continuously become stronger?"

"Not everyone lives only for themselves."

Just at that moment, a steady voice inserted itself into the conversation between the two.

"For loved ones, for friends, for partners... for the fairness and justice in this world!"

"The so-called 'Revolutionary Army' consists of a group of people who hope to change the world, allowing future generations to enjoy peaceful and stable lives."

On the street ahead of the two, Monkey D. Dragon strode forward in a dark green cloak. Rosinante and Doflamingo immediately bowed respectfully.

"Master Dragon,"

"Mr. Dragon,"

After over a year of training, even the proud and disdainful Doflamingo had come to respect Dragon's power.

Of course, the idea of selfless dedication and working for the country and the people advocated by Dragon... they naturally dismissed it.

"Everyone has their own way of survival,"

"As long as our goals are aligned, we can coexist despite our differences."

Rosinante didn't want to listen to Doflamingo and Dragon debating about 'human nature,' so he quickly spoke up to end the topic. Both of them were strong-willed individuals, and neither could persuade the other.

Since words were useless, it would ultimately lead to 'violence'!

Speaking of violence...

"Follow me,"

——

Dragon led the way ahead, with Rosinante and Doflamingo closely following. The three of them quickly left the city that was under reconstruction and arrived at an empty beach beside it.

They stood still and turned around.

Dragon, draped in a dark green cloak, waved to the two of them.

"Attack with all your strength,"

"Let me see your progress this month."

"Rosinante, let's go!"

Since Dragon had spoken, Doflamingo naturally wouldn't hold back.

With a gesture, he swung his hands forward, and ten whistling strands of thread cut through the air, akin to the flying slashes of a swordsman. They carried the deadly force of cutting through steel as they lunged toward Dragon in his dark green cloak.

"Five-Colored Threads · Cross!"

Although he was merely using threads as weapons, after grasping the basic principles of Armament Haki, the threads infused with Haki were just as sharp as the "Good Clean Cut."

As Doflamingo swung his hands, the entire beach tore open with smooth fissures that extended to Dragon's position in the blink of an eye.

Capture,

Facing Doflamingo's attack that resembled a flurry of sword strikes, Dragon merely raised his hand and grasped it.

Sizzle sizzle sizzle,

The threads shifted, sparks flew!

"Impressive momentum, decent development of abilities, just a bit lacking in strength—"

The threads that could cut steel were easily caught in Dragon's hand. No matter how hard Doflamingo tried to pull, he couldn't budge them. With the level of Armament Haki Dragon possessed, Doflamingo had only infused the threads with basic Armament Haki, which was insufficient to harm Dragon.

Void—

Just at that moment, a figure draped in a black feather coat appeared silently behind Dragon. The figure brandished the Sandai Kitetsu wrapped in Haki and descended with a towering radiance!

The blade's brilliance resembled a rainbow piercing through the sky, yet it moved without a sound, both eerie and dangerous.

Clang,

The blade's radiance reached Dragon, but he didn't turn around. Instead, he extended his other hand behind him, his index and middle fingers precisely pinching the Sandai Kitetsu.

"Using the 'Silence-Silence Fruit' to shield sound and move at inaudible supersonic speeds is a clever use."

In the face of the pincer attack from Rosinante and Doflamingo, Dragon gave a serious evaluation.

"However, speed alone isn't enough. Observation Haki can clearly sense—"

Swish,

Just as Dragon restrained both of them, the sandy beach beside them suddenly exploded! Another figure, wielding the Sandai Kitetsu, leaped out.

The once imposing Sandai Kitetsu, whose threatening aura was palpable even to a blind person, seemed to have acquired the characteristics of the 'Silence-Silence Fruit.' Its blade's brilliance disappeared entirely, becoming plain and ordinary, devoid of any sharpness or danger.

With the nondescript Sandai Kitetsu slanting diagonally towards Dragon's neck, it advanced silently, devoid of even a wisp of smoke.

"Good,"

However, facing this seemingly ordinary strike, Dragon "raised an eyebrow."

Because in the next instant, the Sandai Kitetsu suddenly emanated a flickering black and red light! Compared to its previous mundane appearance, it was as if a feRosinanteous beast had suddenly bared its fangs!

Crack,

Amidst a resounding sound, the flying strike shot out, slicing a several dozen-meter-long "fissure" into the sea adjacent to the beach.

Under this strike, the intangible and insubstantial seawater was cleanly split apart. After a few seconds of wriggling, it merged back together with a deafening crash.

It had reached the realm of "Drawing a Sword and Cutting Water"!

"For your age, you're already doing very well."

Nevertheless, this strike still didn't harm Dragon. He merely tilted his head slightly and bit down on the Sandai Kitetsu!

This was also because Dragon had shown mercy; otherwise, even if he directly bit the Sandai Kitetsu in half, with his strength, he could have done it.

Thud!

With a surge of Haki, the two 'Rosinantes' were sent flying.

One agilely tumbled and landed lightly on the beach.

The other, however, was more pitiable. It twisted and deformed in midair, disintegrating into numerous threads before even touching the ground.

Indeed, the first 'Rosinante' who initiated the attack was actually Doflamingo's 'Shadow Knight' created from threads.

Swish,

As Doflamingo pulled his finger, the scattered threads flew back to him and reformed into a purple warrior wearing makeshift armor, muscles bulging all over: White Knight.

"That's enough,"

Only needing a few moves, Dragon had already grasped Rosinante's and Doflamingo's physical attributes, the intensity of their Haki, and the extent of their Devil Fruit development.

"With your current strength, you're already on par with the strength of Grand Line Pirates with bounties exceeding a billion Berries, and Marine Headquarters Vice Admirals."

With the power of three types of Haki and the development of their Devil Fruits, regular Vice Admirals and Grand Line Pirates might not necessarily be able to defeat these two brothers.

This made Dragon can't help but sigh at the sheer number of geniuses in the world.

"So, do you have any questions?"

The reason Rosinante and Doflamingo had both come to transport materials was because it was the three-day "teaching period" of the month.

Otherwise, for regular material transportation, two family executives would have been sufficient.

"I want to ask about the advancement of Haki..."

————

Time passed unknowingly during the Q&A session.

Although Rosinante and Doflamingo were geniuses, they encountered many problems in their training. The accumulation of a month's worth of doubts suddenly became clear in Dragon's answers, saving them from many detours.

"By the way, Master Dragon,"

Without Dragon's guidance, Rosinante wouldn't have known how long it would take to master Armament Haki. Thus, addressing him as "Master" was a fitting courtesy.

"Lately, spies from the Cipher Pol (CP) have appeared in our family,"

"I have a feeling that the World Government won't let us continue growing unchecked."

Dragon, a former elite Marine Vice Admiral, was only a 'title' away from being an Admiral. With such elite combat power, as long as the World Government wasn't foolish, they wouldn't let him be.

Especially since Dragon had established the "Revolutionary Army" and called for the overthrow of the Celestial Dragons' rule—this was unforgivable!

As for Rosinante and Doflamingo... Though Doflamingo didn't mention it, Rosinante was well aware that when Doflamingo escaped from Mary Geoise, he learned about the 'Ope Ope no Mi' and its ability to grant eternal youth and life, as well as some 'major secret' about the Celestial Dragons.

Because of this information, the Celestial Dragons regarded the Donquixote Brothers as "better dead than alive." Before, they hadn't reacted because they thought Rosinante and Doflamingo had perished at sea.

But now, these two figures, who were thorns in the side of the Celestial Dragons, had come together and were causing turmoil?

If not for the fact that the strength of the Marine's higher-ups was intricately intertwined with Dragon, the Five Elders would have long ordered the Admirals to descend upon the North Blue and eliminate these two major threats together!

"Besides the CP3 and CP4 in the North Blue, those belonging to the World Government, the CP9, and even the Celestial Dragons' CP0, are likely already in motion."

"Rumors say that CP0 might even include combatants at the Admiral level,"

"Master Dragon, we must be cautious about our movements, perhaps even hiding for a while."

Faced with Rosinante's words, after thinking for a few seconds, Dragon turned the question back around.

"If you were me, what would you do?"
