Chapter 13: The Enchanted Alliance: A Dragon's Tale with Roja's Radiance

Sengoku: Until now, it's still a group of people volunteering. Has it not turned into a revolutionary army yet?

Kong: The leader of the Revolutionary Army truly lives up to expectations. His strength, luck, and charisma are simply remarkable.

The words being spoken also reflect what the audience is thinking.

I've been watching until now.

There's no question about Dragon's strength and abilities. He's been away from Windmill Village for six years and is thirty-one years old.

Dragon's physique and Haki have become even stronger, placing him just a step away from being one of the top powerhouses in this sea.

His luck has been exceptional as well.

In these six years, he gained the support of Bartholomew the Great Bear and Ivankov the She-boy King.

Both of them possess formidable combat abilities at the level of the Shichibukai, and it's anticipated that Big Bear will even reach Admiral-level strength in the future.

Moreover, Big Bear has a whole country backing him up.

This level of combat prowess is at Dragon's disposal whenever he deems it necessary.

In an instant, he can assemble a team on par with the Four Emperors.

Dragon is the leader of the Revolutionary Army, embodying full strength, talent, character, and luck.

This is the only way it can become the sole force posing a significant threat to the world government's rule for the past 800 years.

Kaido scoffs, considering Monkey D. Dragon's attempt to gain power through words as either naive or too optimistic. According to Kaido, only war can truly achieve such goals.

For someone like Kaido, who thrives on warfare, Monkey D. Dragon and his volunteer army seem consistently weak and feeble.

Being too kind is often perceived as a sign of weakness.

Those who hesitate to engage in combat, only opting for dialogue, may not achieve victory.

Can the world government be overthrown through persuasive speeches alone?

Rocks points out that the current strength might not be sufficient without a corresponding level of awareness.

Golden Lion adds that the means to overthrow the World Government might be too mild, considering the ruthless nature of the World Government.

Douglas Bullet: With this level of power, I've long abandoned the idea of living in a tax-paying country. Becoming a pirate is much more comfortable than honestly paying the celestial money.

Morrie: How did you figure out Dragon's thoughts?

Dragon: Mori, well, there are also pirates. Although I don't entirely agree with your perspective, I realize I'm not enlightened enough in this era.

Dragon stated with a serious tone.

Upon reviewing the movie, he discovered that his dilemma was indeed significant.

He had gained early support from Xiong and Ivan, ensuring he had ample strength at his disposal. However, the idea of forming his own armed force hadn't crossed his mind at this particular moment.

As Golden Lion pointed out, he still underestimated the World Government's malevolence.

Vegapunk added, "If it weren't for that incident, you, who despise fighting and war, might not have made this decision."

As soon as Vegapunk spoke, curiosity gripped everyone.

"What event could push the gentle and seemingly weak Dragon to create a revolutionary army?" someone inquired, but it appeared that neither Dragon nor Vegapunk opted to respond.

However, Sengoku and others had caught wind of some details. The true threat of the Revolutionary Army became apparent at the World Summit eight years ago within the World Government.

It wasn't long after the tragedy of Ohara that Monkey D. Dragon, Ivankov, and Bartholomew Kuma truly gained prominence. The answer became clear.

Dragon concluded his movie viewing.

Everyone marvelled at the life journey of this legendary figure, astounded by the swift growth of the Revolutionary Army, the precursor to this legendary organization, the Revolutionary Army itself.

Monkey D Dragon can indeed be hailed as a legend for his lofty ideals, strength, talent, and charisma.

Lindbergh commented, "The phase of Dragon's Self-Volunteer Army has concluded, and the next focus is on the boy named Ashirat Roja. I'm curious about how the leader of the Revolutionary Army in another world established the Revolutionary Army from the ground up."

Trafalgar Law added, "According to the timeline from the previous movie viewing, the movies in both worlds commenced in the same year, 30 years ago."

In other words, the timeframe for watching movies in another world spans roughly from 30 years ago to the last movie viewing, covering about six years.

Gion expressed, "Six years seem too brief."

Not only Gion but everyone seemed less optimistic about Roja from another world.

This scepticism arises because Roja is not like Dragon. Dragon, from twenty-five to thirty-one years old, represents the peak period of an individual. He is at the prime stage of life, whether it's experience, physical strength, or overall capability.

And Roja, within six years, is only seven or eight years old, reaching thirteen or fourteen years old.

At this age, he is still a teenager, not yet an adult. The question arises: what can he accomplish?

Crane expressed, "This is what perplexes me the most. With such a significant age difference, Dragon has already established the Self-Yuan Army. How did Ashirat Roja, in this parallel world, assume the role of the leader of the Revolutionary Army, replacing Monkey D. Dragon?"

They are currently watching the movie, but they do so with the foreknowledge of the eventual outcome.

This is the most puzzling aspect.

Because I already know the ultimate outcome, every time I watch the movie, I can't help but draw comparisons between Roja and Dragon. Each time this mental comparison occurs, the stark disparity between the two situations becomes evident.

However, despite the significant gap and differing circumstances, the final results are entirely distinct.

Confusion engulfs everyone.

Dragon, too, remains indifferent to the purported leader of the Revolutionary Army's false name. His curiosity is piqued.

He wonders, in detail, how Roja became revolutionary. This young man, starting with nothing and emerging from hell, must have surpassed him in certain aspects, leading him to become the leader of the Revolutionary Army.

Dragon possesses a clear understanding of himself.

This implies that if someone in another world shares the same character as him, he can likely anticipate their choices. If someone is indeed surpassing him significantly in terms of revolution, he would undoubtedly relinquish all the power in his hands.

This aspect sets the Revolutionary Army apart from the World Government and pirates.

Dragonconcentrated his attention on the slowly illuminating giant white screen, hoping to discover the answers he sought.
