Shocking!

At noon, high above the clear sky, the Sea Sovereign was sailing towards the East Blue.

Nicolas sat at the table, unable to help but smile as he looked at the newspaper spread out on the table.

"This Morgans guy..."

On the front page of the newspaper, instead of the photos taken by Flame Paparazzi with Nicolas as the main focus, there were images of the devastation caused by the fire in Mary Geoise, along with photos of the huge mushroom clouds blossoming over Mary Geoise, interspersed with expressions of panic from the Celestial Dragons, and photos of the Holy Guards rushing to the scene along with CP0.

The content vividly described the tragedy that had occurred in Mary Geoise, creating a vivid depiction of the event.

Although there was no mention of the invaders, the newspaper strongly implied that Mary Geoise had been invaded.

For those unaware, their first reaction upon seeing the newspaper would be that Mary Geoise had indeed been invaded.

Even rumors began to spread along with the newspaper, describing scenes as if they had witnessed Nicolas invading Mary Geoise and kidnapping Celestial Dragons.

"World Economic News Agency, huh."

Nicolas' gaze slowly scanned the various reports in the newspaper, and an image of a humanoid albatross flashed through his mind.

"Not bad, quite a bold fellow."

Nicolas muttered softly to himself.

To dare to put such news on the front page, Morgans truly possessed extraordinary courage. One must know that once they angered the World Government, it would be a disaster for the World Economic News Agency.

......

The attack on Mary Geoise, which shocked the entire world, swept through the world like a hurricane.

And Nicolas, who played an important role in it, once again resonated throughout the world with his name.

On an island serving as a temporary resting place for the Revolutionary Army and others.

At this point, their foundation had not yet stabilized, and they did not have a fixed stronghold. Describing them as "citizens of the world" would be an exaggeration.

"Morley, why don't your Giants overthrow the World Government since you're so powerful?"

As Lindbergh adjusted the instruments in front of him, he asked the giant companion beside him.

"I don't know, when is Dragon returning, though?"

Morley supported his chin with both hands, looking into the distance as if waiting for something.

"Dragon has things to attend to, but it shouldn't be long."

Dressed in a helmet shaped like a bear, smoking a pipe, and with a beard all over his face, a man who looked like a bear muttered while studying the sea chart in his hand.

"Hey, Terry, don't you find it boring to look at those things all day?"

Morley asked curiously, looking at his companion who was meticulously marking the sea chart.

"Not at all, you know, intelligence is crucial for us. If there's a problem with the intelligence, it's a huge disaster for us. And combining maps with intelligence can provide us with a lot of information that will be very helpful for our Revolutionary Army's next move."

After marking the final location on the map, Terry Gilteo looked up and smiled at his giant companion, and at that moment, he also noticed the news birds flying in groups in the sky.

Standing up, he took out a berry from his pocket and waved it.

Soon, a news bird broke away from the flock and flew towards the direction of the Revolutionary Army.

After stuffing the berry into the news bird's designated pocket, Terry took the newspaper from the news bird's mouth.

"Something big has happened!"

After opening the newspaper, Terry Gilteo's face changed drastically, and then he exclaimed in astonishment.

The others were surprised by Terry's strange reaction, and quickly gathered around to look at the content of the newspaper in Terry's hands.

"Huh?"

After reading the headlines, Lindbergh's eyes widened, and an expression of disbelief appeared on his face.

"Someone dared to attack Mary Geoise, and not only did they retreat unscathed, but they also kidnapped Celestial Dragons!!!"

"What?!"

Inazuma, who had been enjoying wine on the side, was suddenly shocked, and immediately leaned in to look at the newspaper in Terry's hands.

Ten seconds later.

Morley's sharp voice echoed throughout the island, startling a flock of birds.

"So strong, really strong!"

Morley stared at the burning Mary Geoise in the photo, murmuring with an extremely admiring tone.

The Revolutionary Army, despite its development to this point, was still relatively weak compared to the World Government, the Marines, and the Celestial Dragons. Their revolution was not child's play; they faced the World Government, the Marines, and the ruling world nobles, the Celestial Dragons!

So even though they might have thought about attacking Mary Geoise and targeting the Celestial Dragons, it was just wishful thinking. After all, their cause was not something that could be accomplished overnight.

They were more focused on quietly accumulating strength and patiently waiting for an opportunity.

And not like Nicolas, who directly launched a shocking attack on the Holy Land.

What was even more astonishing was that Nicolas managed to retreat unscathed!

"Do we need to contact Nicolas?"

Inazuma muttered to herself, and this statement plunged Lindbergh, Terry, and others into deep thought. Obviously, if they had someone like Nicolas join them, the likelihood of their cause succeeding would undoubtedly increase, and they might even be able to change the world much sooner.

"No need, Nicolas wouldn't join us."

Just then.

A voice rang out from beside them, accompanied by a rush of wind, and Dragon's figure appeared.

"Dragon, you're back. Is everything going smoothly?"

Lindbergh couldn't help but ask as Dragon returned.

"Yeah, it went smoothly."

Dragon nodded, then turned his gaze to the newspaper in Terry's hands.

Looking at the burning Mary Geoise, Dragon also fell into contemplation. Clearly, compared to the combined strength of the World Government, the Marines, and the Celestial Dragons, the Revolutionary Army was still somewhat weak.

Fishman Island, Jimbe, who delayed his departure for a day due to the commotion in Mary Geoise, was currently discussing the trip to Sabaody with Neptune in the throne room of the Ryugu Palace.

"Your Majesty Neptune, this time we brought back a total of forty merfolk and one hundred and twenty fishmen. We've sent people to cross-check with the registered missing persons. I'm sorry, but some merfolk and fishmen have been sent to Mary Geoise and various other places and cannot be brought back temporarily."

Jimbe sat cross-legged on the ground, reporting to Neptune.

"Very well, Jimbe. Bringing back so many compatriots is already commendable."

Neptune said in a deep voice. It could be said that for the first time in many years, Fishman Island had rescued captured comrades, a significant step for Fishman Island.

"Your Majesty Neptune, according to my estimation, this attack on Mary Geoise was most likely carried out by Nicolas. Therefore, we must remain vigilant on Fishman Island during this time to avoid retaliation from the World Government."

"Don't worry, I've made arrangements. I never thought that the poison passed down in the Ryugu Palace would be used in this way. If it had been discovered earlier, perhaps Fishman Island wouldn't be in such a passive situation."

Clearly, Neptune was confident, and he also reaffirmed his determination to follow Nicolas. Just a few words had almost multiplied the strength of Fishman Island by tens of times. Perhaps that guy Nicolas could really fulfill the promise and lead Fishman Island to the surface land.
