The era of Rocks 7
The prelude to God valley incident I
// Year 1484, December 5th
"Bartelomew Kuma.... Are you sure about this kid ?" Dragon asked skeptically.
"His grandfather and grandmother were my disciples. After the retired, I knew they went their hidden son, but I didn't try to find them since it could draw the attention of the world government. When I managed to find them, both of their son and his wife has been killed by the celestial Dragons. The only person remained is this kid. It was three years ago though. I think I have trained him well enough. He might be a kid but he will be a great add to your revolutionary army." Maki said sipping her alcohol.
"Now Dragon is not talking about that. My observation haki is telling me that he is strong. But it is about his nature. He is too gentle and kind. And above all else, he is a good child. In revolutionary army, our cause may be noble, but sometimes the method we use is not. Wouldn't it be better for him if he waits for a few years..... Or is it that you don't want to babysit him anymore." Kuzan spoke barzenly and Maki's eyes twitched in irritation.
"Why don't you try to ask him yourself. I am not forcing him to join you guys. But knowing him, he will help others regardless of his own pain. So it will be better to have someone who would guide him in correct path. And one more thing unlike you two brats, Kuma is more matured and doesn't need babysitting." Maki said gulping down another glass of sake.
While the adults are talking with each other, Kuma was helping an old woman outside the bar.
Maki didn't know exactly where Kuma's family lived before their enslavement by the celestial Dragons. She only remembered the time period which was somewhere in between 1480 to 1482. But in 1481, accidentally, she stumbled upon Kuma, with his dead parents when she was visiting West blue for some work. It was pure luck that she managed to rescue and help Kuma. Although she couldn't full fill the role of the parents for the gentle bear, she taught him how to protect himself. Soon the God valley incident will happen. So Maki wanted to leave Kuma in the hands of dragon and Kuzan.
"Alright we will take him in." Dragon said after thinking for a while. So far they have been avoiding recruiting youngsters. Dragon has made a rule of minimum recruitment age in the revolutionary army. No one under 15 years old is allowed in the revolutionary army. Despite this rule many people have shown interest in joining them.
Both of them have gotten a bounty of one billion berries and eight hundred fifty million berries each by the world government. Similarly they have also posted bounties on the heads of many known celestial Dragons ranging from 100 millions to 500 millions berries.
It was a bold move. But was the declineing support of the world government, and increasing support for the revolutionary army, Kuzan proposed this move in order to make people understand who are they, exactly fighting against.
This move was very effective in many ways. Many old members of revolutionary armada, seeked out the new revolutionary army. Strong or weak, those people believed in the big Boss Grogy and the boss woman Astrid. And since the revolutionary army was doing similar things in many countries with a different goal, they were hesitant at first. But eventually many members of old generation joined them. They also brought some heavy fortune of the previous era. With their manpower and money power increasing, recently the revolutionary army has gained a lot of momentum in all over the world. Helping government non affiliated countries and liberating those who are under the tyrannical rule of the world Government and the rulers supported by them were the main achievements of the revolutionary army.
In just a couple of years, the world has been divided into 3 major powers. The world government, the revolutionary army and the overlord of the sea, The Rocks pirates.
And behind most of these things, was Maki. And Dragon knew that. If she wants, then she can push the entire world into the great war. But she was not doing it.
Dragon knew that he was waiting for the joy boy. But who exactly was this joy boy, he had no idea.
So for now, all he could do is to continue on his current plans regarding revolutionary army.
...
// Year 1485, January 1st
"Morgans, from this day onwards, you will be the chief of the world economic newspaper."
Maki announced in front of the chief staffs of the world economic newspaper.
The previous chief editor Charles wanted to retire because of his old age. So without any hesitation Maki decided to establish Morgans as the new boss. She has been planning this for a while. Not only that, she also has been training Morgans in order to take over the company one day.
And finally the day has come.
Morgans was talented. He has proven his worth many times in the past.
"Thank you boss Maki. I will make sure that the world economic newspaper will reach a new height of popularity even more than the three major powers of the world." Morgans who was in his hybrid zoan bird form declared in front of the staffs.
His proclamation was not just empty words. In fact the world government itself is already considering the word economic newspaper a threat comparable to revolutionary army due to Maki's involvement. Due to the news coo system of distribution it is almost impossible to stop the news once it is published. Although after the man hunt game of the celestial Dragons, the word economic newspaper has been neutral towards both the world government and the revolutionary army, the government was still treating it as one of their greatest threat.
But to avoid more scrunity from public, the world government especially the marine are trying their best to do their dirty deeds in more secretive manner.
Currently the image of the world government in the general public's mind is that of a tyrannical ruler. The effect that has happened in the marines many years ago happened again. Due to which the fleet Admiral Kong decided to declare all the Marine who try to leave the force, as traitors. But the five elders soon took back that order considering it was doing more damage than good. Instead they decided to do PR campaigns in order to clean their image. But with Morgans masterfull use of pen, their swords didn't work.
Morgans's most of the articles were from the view point of a common civil man.
He dubbed pirates as evil.
The world government was not better. But they can be considered as necessary evil. And in the end marines are nothing more than lap dogs of the world government.
While there is a new force named revolutionary army arising recently, their future is still unknown. But considering their stance, it was at least better than the world government. But the way they operate was still questionable.
He always left loose and in his articles so that they are will be no clear good guy. Everyone is bad. But the people has to choose which one is the worst. Due to this stance, while the reputation of the world government didn't become better, it stopped from getting worse. So, in the end they left Morgans alone for the time being.
But till when, the status quo will remain stable ? No one knew about it.
