Chapter 292 Dragon's Invitation
The beginning of everything started from the encounter in Devil's Triangle.
The dead who returned from the Underworld obtained the soul of Immortality but lost everything. Day after day, year after year, aimlessly riding the ship of the past, singing the songs of the past, drifting in the mist.
"What an interesting adventure story, if published, it might sell well."
Ivankov gently shook the Wine Glass in her hand, adjusted her posture, propped her chin and looked at Brook who was telling the story.
Ever since learning about the story of Joy Boy in the Poneglyph, Brook had been thinking about recording Nicholas and their stories as well, to leave for future generations to read.
After all, through many Things, Brook also knew that what Nicholas was going to do was no less than what Joy Boy had done back then, and Joy Boy had failed. Although he had confidence that Nicholas would succeed, it was always good to be prepared for the worst.
And the arrival of Ivankov and others gave him a good audience to confide in.
After the initial awkwardness, Brook seemed to have learned without a teacher, his thoughts flowed like a spring, and his pen moved like a torrent.
"Yohohoho, this is all thanks to your Suggestion, Ivankov."
Brook buried himself in writing, turning the Scenes in his mind into Texts on Paper.
No need for exaggerated rhetoric, nor poetic rhymes, but according to Ivankov's Suggestion, directly using a first-person, simple and easy-to-understand narrative Method, from Brook's Perspective, turning their experiences into Texts.
"If you really want to thank me, why not give us a little more discount when we trade Weapon Equipment? After all, the Revolutionary Army's Funds are always tight."
Ivankov said jokingly.
"No problem."
Brook, who was writing furiously with his Quill, agreed immediately.
Hearing Brook's Words, Ivankov smiled. It could be said that coming to White Dance had relaxed her or his Mood in a long time.
Perhaps the Look of White Dance now is the driving Force for which they strive.
Quite a while passed.
Brook stopped writing, and then closed the thick Notebook.
"What's wrong?"
Ivankov asked curiously when she saw this.
Brook smiled and said, "The story is very long, there is no need to finish writing it all at once, not to mention our story is not over yet."
"I see, that makes sense."
Ivankov nodded in understanding, and then said in a teasing Tone: "Brook, will I also appear in your adventure story in the Future?"
"Of course, and also the Thing you asked me to give you a discount in the Weapon Equipment Transaction."
Brook said softly, "Because when we met, we became an indispensable part of each other's Fate Trajectory."
"Haha, that's true. But make sure to write me as perfectly as possible."
Ivankov gently shook the Wine Glass, casually saying to Brook.
Obviously, when oneself might appear in a book, everyone Hope to be the best version of Oneself.
Brook slightly shook his head and said, "I want to record the real Ivankov. Ivankov, would you mind Thing like that?"
"Of course not."
Ivankov shook her head and said seriously, "From the day I joined the Revolutionary Army, I already foresaw my Future. Either I'm lucky enough to see the World Dragon spoke of, or I'm unlucky and get caught by the World Government in some Action.
To be able to appear in your book, Brook, as a character, may not be a bad way to continue Existence in another form."
"Yohohoho... Don't worry, Ivankov, you will see it."
"Dorag, how is it? What are your Feelings after seeing the Look of White Dance?"
Nicholas sat on the chair and looked at Dragon who suddenly appeared in the Room, asking with a smile.
When Dragon suddenly appeared with the Revolutionary Army, Nicholas was really taken aback. After all, the Revolutionary Army's base was in the Four Seas and the first half of the Grand Line. Suddenly appearing in Wano Country made Nicholas think that their Force had expanded to the New World.
"Many Feelings, it turns out there really is a World without oppression."
Dragon said with emotion. It could be said that like Ivankov, in Dragon's eyes, the Look of White Dance was the Ideal land in their hearts. Although there were still some flaws, compared to the beautiful Life it brought, these flaws were almost negligible.
"Want a drink?"
Nicholas raised the Wine in his hand to Dragon.
"Okay."
Dragon readily agreed. He knew that he usually didn't have the Opportunity to drink Wine within the Revolutionary Army.
The Two people sat down and drank Fine Wine, chatting casually.
When they were halfway through the Wine, Dragon suddenly expressed his sincere gratitude to Nicholas, and said that the development of the Revolutionary Army was inseparable from Nicholas's Suggestion back then. If Nicholas was willing to join the Revolutionary Army, the Revolutionary Army would always open the Gate to Nicholas.
Without Nicholas's Words back then, even if the Revolutionary Army could embark on the right path, no one knew how many wrong paths they would take. It could be said that the Revolutionary Army's smooth development was indispensable to Nicholas's contribution.
Regarding Dragon's formal and solemn thanks, Nicholas shook his head helplessly.
To be honest, he did have some selfish motives when he instigated Dragon to start the Revolutionary Army. If it weren't for the Revolutionary Army sharing the World Government's attention, the Pressure on Oneself would probably be much greater.
Nicholas also confessed this point to Dragon, but Dragon didn't seem to listen.
"Okay, if you really want to thank me, why not tell me how many People you have Co-opted in the Navy now?"
Nicholas clinked Wine Bottles with Dragon and changed the subject to ask about Dragon's arrangements in the Navy.
"Hmm?"
Dragon looked at Nicholas seriously and said, "Although I have always wanted to develop some People in the Navy into Companions of the organization, but we can't reveal any information about some Companions to People outside the organization, but if Nicholas you join the Revolutionary Army, it doesn't matter to tell you these Things."
"Forget it."
Nicholas shook his head and picked up his Wine Glass to drink it all in one gulp.
Seeing Nicholas giving up so simply, Dragon was a little unaccustomed to it for a while.
In Dragon's Perspective, if Nicholas asked two more questions, he might reveal something. After all, Nicholas's significance to the Revolutionary Army was still relatively large, especially after Nicholas occupied White Dance and Udon, two regions of Wano Country, Nicholas, who controlled a large amount of Weapon resources, was even more of an object for the Revolutionary Army to Co-opt.
"By the way, why does your Revolutionary Army suddenly want to purchase so many Weapon Equipment this time? One hundred thousand Weapons is almost enough to arm the Army of a large Kingdom, right?"
Nicholas looked at Dragon and asked curiously.
He just asked Beddyk to release News in the Underground Black Market, but he didn't expect Dragon to come to his door directly and take such a large amount of Weapon Equipment and some Sea Stone Materials in one go.
"These Weapons are still a bit insufficient for the Companions in the Four Seas and various branches of the Grand Line combined."
Dragon also sighed and said, it could be said that after a long Time of revolutionary work, he also clearly realized that if he wanted to break the original Order and establish a new Order in this World, then he must master Military Force, otherwise everything would be empty talk.
