Chapter 286 Who Doesn't Need Money?
The Holy Land Mary Geoise is the headquarters of the World Government. Located between the first and second halves of the Grand Line, at the summit of the Red Line, it is one of the two routes to the New World.
It is also the place where Hou Yi, who calls himself a god, resides—the Celestial Dragon.
The leaders of the member states around the world can only ascend to the holy site at the World Conference held once every four years.
Ships applying for passage through the Red Line can generally only use the public passageways on the Red Line and are not allowed to set foot in the residential areas of Mary Geoise.
This place is heavily protected by soldiers, the CP organization, and the navy.
Of course, the navy rarely set foot in the residential areas of Mary Geoise.
More often than not, they are members of CP organizations and the Celestial Dragons' personal guards.
Of course, there is another special group living in the Celestial Dragons' territory: slaves who suffer greatly at the hands of the Celestial Dragons.
In the Sabaody Archipelago, slaves typically lived for about three years, but those sold to Mary Geoise lived for an average of only three weeks.
The reason is simple: when it comes to trampling on and manipulating others, the Celestial Dragons are professionals.
The number of slaves who were tortured to death was countless.
The live slaves depicted in the original work are active on the sea, and their physical condition is far superior to that of ordinary people.
In the original story, Tiger was able to set fire to Mary Geoise to free the slaves because he had stayed there for three years.
At the same time, it was his powerful arm strength.
Who would have thought that Tiger would climb to the top of the Red Earth with just his own two hands?
Yes, it's such a simple method, but almost no one thought of it.
Although this road is very conspicuous, it is indeed a road that no one had ever imagined.
There are people with the ability to fly, but not many are so foolish as to directly attack Mary Geoise.
Even Kaido wasn't this desperate.
Although the bear also meets this condition, it has already been used as a "chess piece" by the dragon and placed elsewhere.
Tiger is a suitable candidate.
"Saving slaves? It is indeed a righteous thing to do, but Navy, do you know what the consequences will be if we do this?"
Suddenly, the Den Den Mushi changed to a serious expression.
Dragon, the leader of the revolutionary army.
Even though those eyes were mimicked by a Den Den Mushi, Roman still felt a sense of fear.
The aura emanating from a man who dares to oppose the World Government is simply unimaginable.
"Of course I know, but I think you've already found a perfect hiding place!! Isn't that right, Chief?"
Roman succinctly revealed the key point.
There was an eerie silence on the other end for a while.
"Please don't be surprised. I just believe that a leader who dares to confront the World Government must also have the corresponding intelligence. As for where your base is, I don't know either."
Of course I know, it's Baldigo, the island of white earth.
To be fair, the revolutionary army does indeed look for places to hide.
Baldigo's fame is not low, but very few people know about him.
Even Roman knew of this place but could hardly find it on maps or in books.
There is almost no record of it in the naval archives. The only time Roman saw the words "Bardigo" was in a soil science book.
The above briefly mentions that Erdigo has rare white soil.
There is nothing else.
"It seems you have many secrets too." Dragon clearly didn't believe Roman's words.
So he was just subtly telling himself, "I've noticed something's wrong with you too."
It can also be seen as a veiled threat.
If you make any rash moves, I won't hesitate to expose your secrets.
This was a threat that Long Yinyin was subtly revealing.
That's about it!
Dragon is far more ruthless than his son.
"Hehe, there's no need to be so serious. Of course I know what it means if you start acting in public!"
Dragon is known as the world's most vicious criminal because his goal is to overthrow the world government.
Compared to pirates, the Revolutionary Army is definitely a greater hindrance to the World Government.
"But it was only a matter of time before you stepped onto the stage of the times. If you really wanted to overthrow the rule of the World Government, you couldn't have remained unknown forever. It's just a matter of it happening a little earlier. Is there really that much difference?"
"You make it sound so easy!" The dragon's voice remained as cold as ever.
"We have absolutely no reason to expose ourselves earlier because of your suggestion, do we? Besides, you're not one of us, so you can't possibly be genuinely looking out for us. You must have your own reasons for wanting to make this happen!"
Dragon realized that although Roman belonged to the Navy, she was not loyal to the World Government; her true allegiance was to him.
The reason for making the suggestion is probably for their own benefit.
"Isn't that obvious?" Roman was very frank; there was no need to lie to a dragon.
"But I didn't say this would be completely without your benefit!!"
Risks and opportunities coexist.
The greater the risk, the greater the reward.
Ultimately, it's just a matter of personal choice.
As the leader of a team, Long must be extremely cautious in his decisions.
It's impossible to expose the entire organization to danger just for a little bit of benefit.
Therefore, Roman needs to increase his stake.
"You must understand one thing: there is no place in this world richer than Mary Geoise."
