Chapter 356 - 356. Recruitment

Click! ! !

There was a sharp sound of bones breaking, and Bullet's smile froze on his face.

His eyes were fixed on the spot where Atlas' chest had been pierced by him.

The granulation tissue quickly pulled out, the wound healing fast, and it actually broke Bullet's wrist! ! !

"Uh!!! Hauh!!!"

His eyes widened, but his throat couldn't make any sound despite his desire to scream.

This guy... is he even human?

Bang!!!

With a dull thud, Bullet fell backward reluctantly.

His gradually blurring vision spun around for a while, finally settling on the golden yellow sun as the dark clouds receded.

"This sunshine seems a bit dazzling..."

Plop!!!

With those words, his remaining strength faded. His eyes, refusing to close, gradually lost their luster, and the breath of life disappeared from Atlas's Observation haki.

Dong Dong Dong! ! !

Atlas strode forward, and with each step, his body gradually returned to its normal state. The lingering Haki slowly faded away, and the Kaminari reappeared in his hand.

"You should be buried along with this troubled world..."

Putting Kaminari into the scabbard at his waist, he sighed softly.

It's up to him to put this chaotic world back on track with his own hands.

"Am I right?"

"Monkey D. Dragon... senpai."

Atlas looked up at the empty sky, showing his white teeth, his lips moving as a voice drifted to an unknown place with the vibration of the air.

Whoosh! ! !

There was a sound of something breaking through the air, but the dust hadn't yet settled, and the unknown still shrouded the battlefield.

Atlas' figure had disappeared from the island.

Rumble! ! !

With the end of the battle, the already fragmented Delta Island began to collapse.

Without the ability of the Clank-Clank fruit to maintain the Island, cracks spread, and the originally complete island began to collapse, looking like a doomsday scene.

Some pirates who were stunned by Conqueror's Haki happened to be at the center of a crack.

So, they closed their eyes completely while fainting, disappearing into the sea.

"Why did you, who was just established as the most vicious criminal by the World Government some time ago, suddenly appear in front of me, a Marine?"

"Revolutionary Army Leader-Dragon?"

In a certain cloud, Atlas sat down cross-legged, with a faint smile on his face, looking at the dark green figure with his back turned.

If you ignore his exposed upper body right after the battle, he gives a rather ethereal feeling.

"I've heard your name from my father for a long time. This is the first time I've seen you in person. You're as powerful as the rumors say. It's like the waves behind the Yangtze River push the waves ahead, haha~" (T/N: the ceaseless changes brought by new people and new things with the lapse of time)

Dragon turned around with a fierce expression.

Atlas looked at the man in front of him with great interest. This man was known as the one with the highest IQ among the Monkey family.

The dark green coat draped over his body rustled with the strong wind, and his short black hair was combed back, looking a bit like a hedgehog's head.

There was a red square tattoo on his left cheek.

Ahem, look carefully...

It does look a bit like the soles of the slippers Garp often wears.

Overall, he looked rather sinister, mainly because he had no eyebrows.

So even if he smiled, he still gave a sinister feeling.

It's hard to believe this guy is actually leads the revolutionary army, aiming to free the oppressed people.

However, a few short dialogues can clearly reflect this guy's IQ.

He did not directly respond to Atlas's provocative words, but wanted to draw closer to the relationship between the two through Garp.

"Hehe..."

Atlas sneered, noncommittal.

"Also, about Luffy, thank you for taking care of him. After all, my father's education method makes me a little worried about Luffy's growth."

Dragon seemed to have recalled some bad memories, and his expression was a little strange.

He had been training with Garp since he was a child. Naturally, he had a deep understanding of Garp's training method of "A fist of love will teach everything."

"It's okay. I also like that little guy Luffy, and as a Marine, he has a good future. Maybe in the future, he can complete the path you have not taken - to become the next generation of Marine Admiral."

Atlas said calmly.

As far as he knew, Dragon was a Marine for a period of time.

And he was from the same era as Akainu and the others, having grown up under Garp's high-pressure education.

But unlike Luffy, and without the guidance of Shanks, he followed the path of Marine as Garp wanted.

Maybe it's because he saw too much darkness within the world government, and he doesn't have a carefree character like Garp.

Eventually, he quit the Marines.

That's right, he quit, not defected! !

After disappearing for a while, he finally appeared not long ago.

The world government holds Sengoku accountable - Dragon established an organization called the Revolutionary Army with the intention of subverting the rule of the world government.

Several countries' aristocratic rule has been overthrown.

After deeply understanding Dragon's beliefs, the World Government began to feel a sense of crisis.

So they made a prompt decision and listed Dragon as the world's number one criminal, even more vicious than the Yonko!!

"Marine Admiral? What's the point of becoming someone like that? You still can't achieve your own justice."

Dragon shook his head and smiled bitterly.

Marine Admiral? If he had followed the plan back then, maybe there would be an Admiral codenamed Aoryu among the Marines now.

"Oh? So... what is your justice, former Marine?"

Atlas rubbed his chin and smiled, seeming to be quite interested in the justice in Dragon's mind.

He waved his hand to attract a group of white clouds, slowly building a simple seat with the clouds beneath him. He changed into a comfortable position and lay down on the seat.

Dragon's eyes lit up, but he still remained calm and said:

"Build a New World of harmony, freedom, equality, and full of dreams!!"

After talking about this, Dragon's entire facial expression relaxed, and there was a look of yearning in his eyes.

"How about it? Do you want to join us? My intuition tells me that you are different from others in this world!!"

"Atlas!"

Dragon had long been collecting information about Atlas, analyzing his behavior and ideas.

He had an intuition - Hakuryu and he were the same kind of person! !

In other words, they are people who are also uncomfortable with the rules of this world!

But he didn't expect Atlas to rise so quickly, so as soon as he got news of Atlas's appearance, he rushed here non-stop.
