Chapter 844: Trouble
"What useless trash, discovered so quickly!"
Such a large commotion naturally couldn't be hidden from Ignis.
This made Ignis frown, feeling a bit disappointed.
He had given the Revolutionary Army this opportunity, but they were useless.
In just a few hours, how much treasure could they plunder?
Even a hundred billion Beli wouldn't last for many years for a large organization like the Revolutionary Army.
Don't say this money is a lot, money that countless people couldn't spend in a lifetime.
On the Great Sea, just four to five billion Beli is enough to buy a small kingdom and become its king.
However, not many people do this.
Becoming a noble is even easier.
If it were just for survival, this Beli wouldn't be spent even in decades.
But the Revolutionary Army's target is resistance against the World Government.
Not only do they have to face the World Government's suppression, but they also need large amounts of grain every year.
With the Revolutionary Army's poor reputation, to recruit members, they can only target those civilians who struggle to survive, or even slaves.
These people suffering from oppression are the source of the Revolutionary Army's future members.
In other words, they not only need to support the Revolutionary Army but also a large number of ordinary civilians and their families.
Just like the Marine Headquarters, a stable rear area is the guarantee that front line warriors can feel at ease.
The Revolutionary Army also needs to be established, requiring a large amount of funds.
Various needs for supplies, under the suppression of the World Government and Member Nations, make their survival situation even more difficult.
Although not many people pay attention, every so often, news emerges of Revolutionary Army members being captured and strongholds being eradicated.
It is precisely because of this predicament that, in order for the Revolutionary Army to survive, Dragon and Kuma risked undertaking such secret operations.
Even if discovered by the World Government, the Revolutionary Army would face even more terrifying suppression.
But they still needed to do it.
That was for later; right now, survival was the primary target.
If they couldn't even survive, how could they talk about the future?
One had to admit the terror of the blockade network formed by the World Government and Member Nations.
Very few were willing to join the Revolutionary Army.
And the number of Revolutionary Army members who made sacrifices was even greater.
Many people dared not reveal their identity as Revolutionary Army members.
Without firm conviction, it was hard to persist.
Many Revolutionary Army members couldn't persist and left the ranks of the Revolutionary Army.
Some even directly betrayed the Revolutionary Army, leaking information to the Marines or the World Government.
Because of the high bounty offered by the World Government and Member Nations.
Not just ordinary people, but the Underworld, guilds, pirates, anyone could claim the bounty.
You should know that under high bounties, even ordinary people dare to kill the Justice Marines who protect them.
Let alone the Revolutionary Army, whose reputation is terrible and who are not tolerated by the world?
This further led to internal turmoil within the Revolutionary Army.
The Revolutionary Army's situation is far worse than imagined.
If the Revolutionary Army hadn't had the secret support of various superpowers.
Under the suppression from the World Government, Member Nations, and Marines combined, they would have already faced downfall.
The newly formed Revolutionary Army is too immature compared to the World Government.
Just in terms of intelligence officers, they have an advantage over the Revolutionary Army.
And the advantage in intelligence is very fatal for the Revolutionary Army.
Due to the existence of the Kronos Kingdom, Member Nations and ordinary kingdoms on the Great Sea possess even stronger armaments strength.
The deterrence of munitions has greatly increased, making the rule of these kingdoms more stable.
Although it is violent rule under high pressure, it has indeed brought peace.
The military strength of the kingdoms possesses the strength to suppress rebellion.
Many rebellions couldn't cause any trouble at all and were completely suppressed.
With the rise in status of Member Nations, the nearby Navy Branches dare not refuse requests for aid from Member Nations.
This is their responsibility, written into the new regulations signed between Member Nations and the World Government.
Originally, rebellion was an internal affair of Member Nations, and the World Government and Marines would not interfere.
Even if a Member Nation requested aid, the World Government would simply ignore it.
The current situation has changed.
The number of Member Nations has decreased, their status has risen, and every Member Nation is very important to the World Government.
Naturally, they have gained many privileges.
Furthermore, the Revolutionary Army is considered a thorn in the side by many Member Nations and the World Government.
Many people who instigate rebellion are labeled as Revolutionary Army members.
The purpose is to make the Revolutionary Army detested by everyone.
In this way, if the Revolutionary Army wants to instigate rebellion, they not only need sufficient military strength but also a large reserve of munitions.
On the Great Sea today, an ordinary gun costs nearly two hundred thousand Beli.
One hundred million Beli can only buy five hundred.
This is just for ordinary guns; there are also more advanced firearms and other armaments.
Small munitions like smokescreens and hand grenades.
If they want to arm an army, the money spent will only be more.
Does shipbuilding cost money?
Does developing intelligence and conducting revolutionary activities cost money?
The treasure plundered by the Revolutionary Army might seem like a lot, but it's simply not enough to spend.
"What kind of situation is this?"
Ignis was somewhat speechless.
What was the point of plundering just this little bit of treasure with such a good opportunity?
For the Celestial Dragons, it wouldn't even scratch the surface.
He hadn't expected the Revolutionary Army to be discovered so quickly.
Although he didn't know when the Revolutionary Army members arrived, it was definitely much later than him.
In his opinion, they couldn't plunder much treasure in just a few hours.
In terms of efficiency, the Revolutionary Army definitely couldn't compare to him.
They even dragged him down.
"It seems I should leave."
Ignis was very cautious and didn't want to stay longer.
His own Void-Void Fruit ability was not invincible.
At the very least, if someone had sharp intuition, they could completely sense that someone was watching them.
However, there were only a few people in the entire world who could do this.
Watching the riot erupt in Mary Geoise, Ignis quietly turned and left.
With such a big event happening, how could the Celestial Dragons remain indifferent?
They would definitely conduct a search to see which Celestial Dragon Mansions were robbed.
And how much treasure was stolen?
Taking advantage of this time, Ignis could perhaps plunder more Celestial Dragon treasure, directly targeting their treasury.
But there was no need for that.
His gain from this trip was already quite pleasing.
On average, in seven or eight minutes, he could completely plunder the treasure from a Celestial Dragon Mansion.
In just these four hours, he had visited nearly thirty Celestial Dragon Mansions.
Those empty mansions with little treasure were directly skipped by him.
Calculating carefully, his gain from this trip was roughly three to four hundred billion Beli.
This already exceeded his past gains from plundering Heavenly Tribute.
It also made him sigh at the deep foundation of the Celestial Dragons.
But that was just how it was.
The World Government's nineteen Celestial Dragon Families, just in treasure alone, averaged hundreds of billions of Beli.
This was the accumulation over eight hundred years.
Saying trillions might be an exaggeration, but this is just the accumulated treasure.
The families also have a large amount of hidden assets.
Besides Heavenly Tribute, which Celestial Dragon Family doesn't need large amounts of funds to maintain development?
Some Celestial Dragon Families also control former kingdoms behind the scenes.
During the Rocks Era, in order to maintain the World Government's rule, the funds contributed by the various Celestial Dragon Families alone amounted to trillions of Beli.
However, Ignis could also see the decline of some families from the amount of treasure.
Treasure is treasure, and assets are assets.
Cash flow is cash flow.
Otherwise, during the Rocks Era, so many Celestial Dragon Families wouldn't have sold off treasure to exchange for money.
Therefore, Heavenly Tribute is also particularly important to the Celestial Dragons.
Some weaker Celestial Dragon Families also rely on Heavenly Tribute to survive.
The loss of Heavenly Tribute doesn't just alarm the World Government, but also the Celestial Dragons behind it.
