# Chapter 153: Revolutionary Army? Coulson!
"It's certainly a great thing for the World Nations."
Shakky looked at him and said, "But do you believe the World Government, which has been in darkness for over eight hundred years, would suddenly become so benevolent? I don't believe it."
"They say a leopard can't change its spots, and that's not just true for people, but for a Tissue as well. There must be a conspiracy hidden deep within. Rayleigh died because of this!"
"What exactly do you want to do?" Jabba asked again.
Shakky's eyes flickered with the radiance of hatred, but her expression remained indifferent on the surface. She casually puffed on her cigarette and said softly.
"It's simple, Destruction and obstruction of what they want to do."
"While the World Government's changes are just beginning, gather the Citizens who are being extremely oppressed by the World Government and the Nobility of various nations, lead them to take up Weapons and revolt to overthrow the Kings above their heads, spread the Thought of revolution to the Poor Nations, Small Nations, and every Island where life is difficult, and thoroughly stir up the water of this Great Sea!"
Jabba and the others were startled by this Woman's terrifying idea, but thinking back to her Identity as a former Rocks Pirates Cadre, it wasn't so strange anymore.
"You want to wage war directly against the World Government?"
Jabba gave a helpless Shake Head and said apologetically, "Although our Strength is decent, it's difficult to block the Highest Combat Power from the Marines."
Yanlong and the other three nodded unwillingly, admitting this point.
After all, the Roger Pirates were not the Rocks Pirates. Unlike the latter, where any Cadre was a super big shot.
"No!"
"There's no need to clash head-on with them. We just need to covertly incite and lead them through the Intelligence Network I've built over these decades. Once the main Troops or Top Tier Combatants from the Marines are dispatched, we can receive News in advance and relocate. They won't be able to catch us."
Speaking of this, Shakky's face was filled with strong confidence. In this World, the only opponent she had in terms of Intelligence was Cipher Pol.
But even that was just an opponent!
"As for Top Tier Combatants, we can cultivate them, cultivate them over decades, or seek out Experts we can utilize. I never thought overthrowing the World Government was something that could be done in a short period of Time."
"What's important is the Thought, to pass down Roger's Thought and Rayleigh's Thought, and let this Tissue we founded continue."
To put it bluntly, Shakky wanted to use the Remaining Value of the latter half of her life to create an Influence that would forever be a thorn in the side of the World Government. This was her current purpose.
Jabba and the others were the first batch of Core Members she would use to form this Influence.
"So that's it. Alright, count me, Jabba, in. Instead of doing nothing and growing old, it's better to squeeze out my Remaining Value. If it's for Captain Roger and Rayleigh, I am willing!"
"I am willing too!"
"This is much more enjoyable than opening a boxing gym in my hometown. I'll teach Boxing to the young Members in the future!" Yanlong, wearing spiked boxing gloves, grinned and laughed.
"Then I'll teach Shooting."
Petermu, wearing a Gentleman's hat and a Gentleman's suit, touched the Spear slung behind his back and said sternly.
"Leave Swordsmanship to me. After all, I'm a Sword Master!" Yutou said.
"Good!"
Shakky had already anticipated this result, so she wasn't surprised at all. She had initiated contact with Jabba and told him about Rayleigh's Matter. Then, she looked towards Crocus, who hadn't been Speaking.
"Mr. Crocus, what about you? We really need your superb Medical Skill."
Crocus pondered for a moment, gave a Shake Head, and refused her.
"Sorry, count this old man out. I need to treat and take care of Laboon. This is my Promise with the Rumbar Pirates. If it keeps colliding like this, it will soon sink to the Seabed as a corpse. However, if you have seriously ill Patients or Difficult Illnesses in the future, you can send them over, and I will do my best to treat them, even if it's for the sake of our past friendship."
Shakky thought for a moment and felt this was acceptable. They could use this place as a secret spot. Twin Capes is right below Reverse Mountain and can completely monitor the Ships entering and exiting.
As for whether the other party would leak it, she wasn't too worried. She had already investigated Mr. Crocus's Situation thoroughly. The reason he gave was indeed true, and he had been here for so long that the World Government didn't bother with him either.
"Alright, since that's the case, we'll take our leave now. We'll be relying on you in the future!"
"Okay, go ahead. Be careful."
Crocus didn't try to keep them. What these people were going to do was too dangerous. He didn't have so many Thoughts; he just wanted to accompany Laboon and spend his later years peacefully here.
It would be best if he could outlive Laboon and pass away after it died of old age, so he would have no worries.
"Oh, right, about the Rumbar Pirates you mentioned, as far as I know, they disbanded a long time ago. They might have been defeated by other Pirate Crews, or they might have escaped from the Grand Line. Anyway, they won't be coming back."
"Ah, I already know that..."
Shakky said no more and then left with Jabba and the others. They were going to meet up with Mire Pine, MAX Marks, Langram, and others, and incidentally see if they could gather more comrades.
This time, they weren't trying to sneak into Mary Geoise, so presumably, quite a few people would be willing to join or help secretly.
"Hoo—"
After they were all gone, Crocus let out a sigh of relief. His Mind felt a bit weary, and he sat down, rubbing his temples as he sighed, "Isn't a peaceful life good? Why bother living in a situation where you could die at any Time, just for some kind of Thought?"
He felt that when Roger disbanded the Pirate Crew back then, instead of letting Rayleigh take over as Captain and continue leading the Crewmates on adventures, it was probably because he wanted them to have a peaceful end to their lives.
But now, Rayleigh's death in battle had made these Crewmates restless, especially that Shakky. The cold glint in her Gaze was unsettling.
"Forget it, sleep, sleep. I'm just a middle-aged uncle who knows a little Medical Skill and watches over a Lighthouse..." He glanced at Laboon outside the window, only to see him lying on the bed, having fallen asleep.
Just as he opened his eyes again, awakening from his deep sleep under the illumination of the warm Sunlight outside the window, he suddenly heard some somewhat familiar Music.
It seemed to be coming from outside...
And Laboon's most familiar Cry, but this sound no longer contained sadness and loneliness; instead, it was filled with joy.
Crocus quickly got out of bed, pushed open the door with quick steps, and walked out. But the moment the door opened, the sound of the Music suddenly became louder, and the joyful Music resonated throughout the entire Twin Capes.
"Send you Bink's Sake~"
"Ride the wind and waves, let me roam freely~"
"Surging waves, stirring Sunset~"
Listening carefully, he discovered that it wasn't just one person singing, but many people singing in unison!
"That is..."
Crocus's Gaze looked over and saw a slender Man in Black standing with his back to him, facing Laboon in the sea at the Edge of the Red Line.
And Laboon was wagging its tail and swimming back and forth excitedly, giving incessant Cry towards that person from time to time, causing a large amount of Wave to turn into raindrops and sprinkle down, which then turned into a beautiful Rainbow under the illumination of the brilliant Sunlight.
He felt a bit familiar.
But just as Crocus was preparing to walk down for a closer look, he had just turned around when he saw three Men in Black walking up the stone steps. The one leading had a pleasant, gentle smile on his face.
"Hello, Doctor Crocus. I am Senior Director Coulson of the Administrative Department Directly Under the Council of State Affairs of the World Government. Nice to meet you for the first time, please guide me."
"World Government!!"
Crocus's face changed greatly, and his Body instantly tensed up. He thought inwardly, "Could it be that yesterday's Matter was discovered? Oh no!"
