Chapter 196 The Beginning of the Talent Show Era
News about the Revolutionary Army spreading across the seas was already a matter of several days later.
The World Government did want to cover it up, but unfortunately the Revolutionary Army itself wanted to make things big.
The news could no longer be concealed. What the World Government could choose to do was publicize the matter and respond directly to the Revolutionary Army's declaration of war.
They called the Revolutionary Army terrorists on the seas, saying they wantonly destroyed member nations under the government, their behavior no different from pirates. The government would absolutely not let go of any destroyer trying to disturb the seas' order.
So the entire sea was in an uproar.
An organization targeting the World Government, wanting to overthrow the government and create a new government—this was an unprecedented major event for everyone.
Even in the World Government's propaganda, where this organization was a thoroughly evil villain organization, it was enough to shock people on the seas beyond words.
This was the first time anyone had wanted to challenge the World Government's authority.
"Now the World Government should no longer have much energy to investigate the Dyna Stones' effects."
Tesoro, who had come to Fish-Man Island at the first opportunity, said. "They need to focus more attention on the Revolutionary Army."
"This is good news for us, Brett."
"Of course."
Brett nodded. "The World Government will be busy. For a long time to come, the Revolutionary Army won't be peaceful."
This was the Revolutionary Army's first public appearance on the seas. Without achieving sufficient results, Dragon would never give up.
What he would do next was overthrow several more corrupt kingdom governments, making the Revolutionary Army's name completely resound throughout the world.
Making all the corrupt kings in the world tremble with fear just hearing their name.
Though they couldn't change the entire world in one go yet, at least they could bring some change to this stagnant world.
If he remembered correctly, it was indeed at this year's Reverie that the Revolutionary Army first became a major topic, brought up for discussion by the various kings participating in the conference.
This showed that they had indeed caused quite a commotion this year.
"Excellent!"
Tesoro was almost dancing with joy. "This way our actions can be a bit bolder!"
Brett knew the actions he mentioned were connecting with other minority races on the seas, not simply holding talent shows.
Though Tesoro devoted much energy to the idol business, he hadn't forgotten the main issue.
The blood feud with the Celestial Dragons wasn't easily forgotten.
No matter what, overthrowing the World Government and pulling the Celestial Dragons down from the sky—this was Tesoro's primary goal.
"We can begin action anytime."
Brett said. "There's nothing particularly busy recently."
Fish-Man Island's development had long been on track and didn't need Brett's personal labor and worry.
Though in the past, Brett had largely just been a hands-off boss anyway.
"Is that so?"
Tesoro's mouth curved up. "Then how about acting together with me, Brett?"
"If we want to cooperate with those ethnic groups, it's better to personally visit and show sincerity, right?"
Brett thought for a moment. "Alright."
The World Government's strength was extraordinary.
If they wanted to oppose them, they needed to unite all the forces they could possibly unite.
"Excellent!"
Tesoro excitedly punched the air. "With you backing us up, our actions will become much easier!"
No matter what, Brett was the man called the Deep Sea Emperor.
His reputation itself was enormous capital, enough to make anyone on the seas take notice.
"Then I'll first go talk to King Neptune about Fish-Man Island's talent show."
Tesoro was already impatient. He excitedly went to Ryugu Palace to find Neptune.
Though Brett said Neptune had already agreed to this matter, there were still many specific affairs that needed discussion.
After half a day, this guy returned with a strange expression.
"Brett, I don't quite understand."
He said. "Queen Otohime excitedly said she also wants to participate in the talent show?"
"She seems serious, not joking."
Tesoro was completely bewildered.
A country's queen wanting to participate in a talent show and be judged by evaluators—what kind of spirit was this?
Could it be like himself, having strange obsessions in his heart?
Brett also felt somewhat helpless. She really planned to do this?
Should he say this was indeed Queen Otohime?
Possessing extraordinary initiative—whatever she decided to do, she would definitely do, without any hesitation.
"Then let her participate."
Though this matter was somewhat absurd, it really wasn't that hard to accept.
Brett said with a smile. "Maybe she'll give you a big surprise."
As he'd said before, Brett firmly believed that if Otohime became a star, she would definitely be more successful than anyone.
She might become a superstar surpassing even Tesoro.
If that really happened, becoming Fish-Man Island's cultural calling card wouldn't be bad either.
"Really?"
Tesoro nodded somewhat suspiciously, then said somewhat troubledly. "Should I give her special treatment?"
She was a business partner's wife, after all.
"No need."
Brett smiled meaningfully. "Trust me, holding a talent show on this Fish-Man Island, absolutely no one can compete with Queen Otohime."
That woman's Observation Haki was more terrifying than Devil Fruit abilities—she could really directly change a person's thoughts.
"Is that so?"
Tesoro nodded. "Then it doesn't matter. Fish-Man Island's side is already arranged. Next are the other ethnic groups."
"I've already had Morgans help us make contact. With that guy's influence, we should have opportunities for direct communication with those countries' leaders."
"That's not bad."
Brett nodded gently. "So what countries are the targets?"
Tesoro said. "The Longarm, Longleg, and Snakeneck tribes—these three common ones can't be missed. Then there are the Tontatta—this is basically no problem, I've already handled it. And Brett, now you can protect them, right?"
Brett didn't answer directly. "Since there are Tontatta, next would be giants, right?"
"Of course!"
Tesoro nodded matter-of-factly. "Elbaf is the world's greatest power! Absolutely can't be missed."
"Then there are also the Minks. You know about this race too, right Brett?"
"Mm." Brett thought privately that he probably knew more than Tesoro. "The group living on the giant elephant's back."
"Finally adding mermaids, fish-men, and humans."
Tesoro grinned. "I already have a premonition—we can launch an idol group that'll explode worldwide!"
"So what's the first target?"
"The Grand Line, Kenzan Kingdom! The Longarm tribe's country!"
