"He's fine. He just needs to sleep," Ian said to Dragon, indicating there was no need for concern after he had healed Sabo's fragmented soul, leaving him in a peaceful slumber.

The revolutionary had been suffering from agonizing headaches due to the fragmented memories.

"Thank you. When it comes to the soul, only Charlotte Linlin possessed such expertise. Even Ivankov, our revolutionary army's doctor, was helpless," Dragon replied.

He was grooming Sabo as his successor. If he couldn't fulfill his mission...

Perhaps, it would fall upon Sabo's shoulders.

"Ivankov? The Horu Horu no Mi huh... holding sway over the human body's secrets. As for Charlotte Linlin, she just consumed souls. She suffered from soul sickness herself and was, to put it bluntly, a fool."

"Tell me about the World Government. You can omit information about the Revolutionary Army."

Dragon nodded. Ian sought intelligence on the World Government not out of fear, but likely to ensure no remnants survived. He had no need for information on the Revolutionary Army, a force meant to distract the Marines.

Dragon sighed inwardly. This man was ruthless.

"According to our intelligence network, the World Government, in addition to the Marines, possesses another hidden force, a formidable power. They will be the greatest obstacle in our quest to conquer the Red Line," Dragon revealed, his voice calm.

During his time in the Marines, Dragon had been groomed for the position of Admiral and was privy to the World Government's hidden forces. He now had access to even more information thanks to Shiryu.

The former Chief Guard of Impel Down have a wealth of knowledge about the World Government's inner workings, a key reason for his classification as one of the most dangerous criminals.

"The World Government, besides the Marines who control the seas, also commands a land army and Cipher Pol."

Ian and the others were taken aback. So, this army really existed. After all, the Red Line's landmass.....was comparable in size to any of the world's oceans.

"How does the Army compare to the Marines?"

"The World Government has three main military branches: the Marines, the Army, and the globally dispersed Cipher Pol. Kong commands all three branches. In terms of overall strength, the Marines are superior. They control the vast seas, while the Army's operations are confined to the Red Line," Dragon explained.

"Over twenty years ago, I participated in a training exercise against the Army alongside Garp, Sengoku, and Zephyr. Borsalino and Kuzan were there as well. I believe we won in the end."

"However, it was a hard-fought victory."

"Borsalino and Kuzan, future Admirals, barely won? The Army possesses such powerful beings?" Intrigued, Ian leaned forward. So, there were hidden powerhouses within the army.

Over two decades ago, the future Admirals, though not yet at their peak, still struggled to achieve victory.

"Those two geniuses who faced Borsalino and Kuzan are likely Admirals in the Army by now."

"The Army, like the Marines, has one Fleet Admiral and three Admirals. However, that's just the surface level. I'm uncertain what else lies hidden within the depths of the Red Line."

Koshiro and Tashigi exchanged serious glances. The detailed information revealed by Dragon about the World Government's hidden army, a force rivaling the Marines, was unsettling.
