"Mission?"
Sabo paused, looking at James with curiosity.
"What kind of mission?"
"It's simple!" James replied with a calm smile. "I just want you and the Revolutionary Army to do what you did in the Kingdom of Hyde—transform an old, decaying country!"
The tablet Rotom suddenly floated in front of Sabo, displaying a pop-up window on its lit screen.
[Team Mission: Liberate Goa Kingdom!]
[Mission Details: The children of nobles remain nobles, and the children of commoners remain commoners. An eternal order creates an unchanging world.]
[Mission Requirements: Overthrow the corrupt regime of the Goa Kingdom in the East Blue Sea and establish a new government based on freedom, equality, democracy, and harmony.]
[Time Limit: Complete the mission within 6 months of acceptance.]
[Reward: For six months following the establishment of the new regime, all team members who complete the mission will receive a 50% discount on all products from the Transdimensional Chamber of Commerce.]
"This..."
As the mission details appeared on the screen, Sabo wasn't the only one taken aback; even Nami and the others standing nearby were stunned.
The mission from the Dimensional Merchant was to overthrow a national government!?
Despite recently assassinating a king and disrupting the slave trade in the Kingdom of Hyde, which seemed like a significant blow...
...this task was on a whole different level!
Overthrowing a long-standing government under the protection of the World Government wasn't something that could be done easily!
The Kingdom of Goa was one of the largest in the East Blue Sea.
Even the Celestial Dragons from Marijoa occasionally visited for leisure.
Overthrowing such a regime involved far more than just assassinating a king.
Moreover, the requirement to establish an independent government was well beyond the Revolutionary Army's current capabilities.
Especially after the new government is established, the Revolutionary Army would be exposed, facing the full might of the World Government and the Navy!
It could be a devastating blow to the Revolutionary Army as it stands today.
Unless...
Sabo's eyes gleamed as he focused on the final message on the screen.
The mission reward: within 6 months, all members of the team who complete the mission would enjoy a 50% discount on all products from the Transdimensional Chamber of Commerce.
If the Revolutionary Army could acquire a few more Pokémon as powerful as Miss Nami's Pikachu...
...then they might even stand a chance against the World Government's forces!
Moreover, with the New World's Four Emperors and the restless pirates of the Grand Line, the World Government and Navy would be significantly distracted.
The Revolutionary Army had thrived in these cracks for years.
The only difference now was that their base would move from the shadows to the light.
After thinking it over for a long time, Sabo didn't immediately give an answer. This was not a decision he could make alone as the Special Operations Team Captain.
He looked up at James and said slowly:
"Sir James, could you please wait a moment? I need to consult with the leader before making a decision."
"Of course." James responded with a polite smile, showing no curiosity about Sabo's cautious behavior.
While Sabo's face was full of contemplation, the newer members of the Revolutionary Army standing behind him were brimming with excitement!
A 50% discount on trading items!?
Seeing the mission reward, Nami, who had just completed a transaction, was instantly thrilled...
She wished she could join the Revolutionary Army just to complete the mission and enjoy the reward.
With such a discount, she could easily resurrect Bell-mère and gather more resources for Pikachu.
Watching Sabo step aside to discuss with Dragon over the Den Den Mushi, Nami yearned to inform them of the mission's benefits.
But alas...
She was still a new member of the Revolutionary Army, with no authority to influence such a crucial decision.
All she could do was hope the leader of the Revolutionary Army had the foresight to see the long-term benefits.
Nami thought with anticipation.
At the same time, Meowth and Jessie were equally puzzled. They quickly approached James, surprised.
"James, what's going on? Why didn't you tell us about this?" Jessie asked, her tone tinged with panic.
Meanwhile, Meowth seemed to have grasped something, and with curiosity, asked James:
"Could it be... you want to use the Revolutionary Army to destabilize the Goa Kingdom and create an ideal environment for Monkey D. Luffy to bond with his pokemon?"
"As expected of you, Meowth!" James nodded with satisfaction. He then leaned closer to the two and whispered:
"You don't understand. This Revolutionary Army isn't just some third-rate gang!"
Due to their different roles, James's understanding of the Pirate World was far deeper than Jessie and Meowth's.
Unlike the methodical Leo, James had done extensive research on promoting transactions and evolving bonds.
He knew all about the Revolutionary Army's structure and actions... and...
He knew that if the Revolutionary Army decided to take over the Goa Kingdom, it would undoubtedly trigger a bloody war in this World Government-affiliated nation!
And that was exactly what James wanted to see!
After briefly explaining the Revolutionary Army's role in the Pirate World, James looked at his two companions, who now understood. A proud smile spread across his face as he patted his chest and continued:
"Once war breaks out in the Goa Kingdom, the ensuing chaos will create the perfect environment for Luffy's growth!"
James's words left Meowth and Jessie in stunned silence.
After a moment, Jessie murmured:
"Oh my goodness! James, when did you become so smart!?"
If this plan really led to Luffy siring the power of bond evolution...
James would be nothing short of a genius!!!
We were supposed to be comic relief together, but you secretly studied and graduated from college...
This makes me feel so inadequate!!!
Looking from James to Meowth, Jessie suddenly felt her position on the team was at risk.
At the very least, her IQ seemed to be falling behind these two!
——

Despite Jessie's internal struggle.
After half an hour of discussing with Dragon, Sabo finally put down the Den Den Mushi, walked back to James with a solemn expression, and said seriously:
"Sir James, after unanimous discussion among the leader and the top ranks of the Revolutionary Army, we have decided..."
"To accept this mission!!!"
