"Let's hold back for now. The Revolutionary Army isn't important; what's important is the Dragon."
Ross mentioned it briefly, glancing at the ground out of the corner of his eye. He saw Moira lying motionless on the ground, and a playful smile appeared on his lips.
"Understood. Then let's continue managing the Sorbet Kingdom. Giving the Revolutionary Army a permanent base will make it easier to control them," Zane replied quickly.
Zane didn't need to think much; she just had to read her lines from the script.
"Let the Revolutionary Army do whatever they want with the Sorbet Kingdom. Last time, we deliberately let them transmit the eavesdropping content to Dragon, but Dragon still didn't come to rescue us. It was truly disappointing."
Ross chuckled and raised his hand to gesture to Moira.
Moira pursed her lips, but she could still understand Ross's gestures.
With a soft sigh, she slowly stood up, took out an edible jellyfish, and held it to Ross's lips with both hands.
In order to reduce her presence, she was willing to take some initiative.
The news that Ross had just revealed had already shocked Moira.
The Revolutionary Army had been completely infiltrated by Ross, and the news of her capture and transport to Drum Island was actually the first to reach Dragon.
Although it was a trap, Dragon didn't react at all, and the other members of the Revolutionary Army didn't even think to come to her rescue.
Why...
Were all the other revolutionaries' claims of liking her false and lies?
"Let them do whatever they want. How's the plan for Reverse City going?"
After discussing Moira, Ross moved on to other matters.
Secrets certainly couldn't be told to Moira, but some trivial details that he revealed to her actually corroborated the credibility of his other information.
Moreover, he had no intention of deceiving Moira.
Sometimes, simply presenting the truth in a different way can have a completely different impact on people.
"The design drawings are ready. I've contacted the environmental department, and the workers that Saint Mars promised are already heading back to Reverse City. However, transporting them to the top of the Red Line will be quite a complicated matter," Zane replied.
"Building a few cable car lines is just a matter for the environmental department to plan; it's only a question of spending some money," Ross chuckled.
Although Reverse Mountain had a reverse waterway, the current was extremely rapid, unlike Mary Geoise, which had a buffer zone. Once you reached the top, you would fall rapidly down the Grand Line.
It would be difficult to transport ordinary people to the flat areas of the Red Line Continent in such a short time.
In addition, this was a one-time channel, which was very inconvenient for transportation.
In addition to waterways, the World Government could also travel to and from the Red Line via cable cars.
This method was generally preferred by nobles because it was more efficient, faster, and extremely safe.
"I understand, but if we want to build the Reverse City to the scale we're looking for, we'll need at least a hundred cable car lines," Zane said.
Ross certainly didn't care about the money, but as a subordinate, she had to report the truth.
"Let them build it first. After all, while building a city on the Red Line is easy, transportation is not necessarily an easy task."
Ross and Zane discussed some more details before hanging up the phone.
As long as it could be completed, some losses along the way were not a big deal.
Once he gained power equal to that of the Five Elders, he could build a high-speed railway or waterway on the Red Line, connecting the Holy Land directly to the Reverse City, thus completely revitalizing the Red Line.
The red continent was much larger than all the islands combined, and the land could be used to grow crops and raise livestock, which could fully support billions of people.
With the Holy Land overlooking the Four Seas and the Grand Line, considering the travel distances to various places and the population of the Holy Land, those people at sea would sooner or later have ulterior motives.
But if they looked at the world from the perspective of the Red Line, the situation was different.
With such a massive size, the island nations simply did not dare entertain any other ideas.
The cost of governing such a vast red earth continent was far lower than the maintenance cost of the Four Seas and the Grand Line.
"Master, you intend to build a city on Reverse Mountain?"
Moira wasn't feeling well, but seeing Ross hang up the phone, she couldn't wait to ask a question.
She simply couldn't believe that Ross would have such a crazy idea.
If the World Government cut off Reverse Mountain, then there would be one less passage between the Four Seas and the Grand Line.
Don't ask questions you shouldn't ask.
Ross grabbed a jellyfish from the side, took a bite, and gave her a warning look.
The jellyfish he ate were carefully raised by Moira using sea kings and various kinds of meat, making them one of the world's top-tier ingredients.
"Master, I understand."
Moira realized she had said something she shouldn't have, and quickly lowered her head in pain.
She had no trust in Ross at all now; the fact that Ross would even listen to her was already a sign that he was not wary of her.
If she asked too many questions, she was afraid that Ross would never tell her anything in the future.
"Keep it up, and if you behave, I'll tell you some information that you're more interested in."
Ross smiled slightly and casually made a promise.
From beginning to end, Moira was just a toy he used to deal with the Revolutionary Army.
It would be best if it had some effect, but if it didn't achieve anything, it didn't matter; just consider it a pastime for leisure time.
...
Two weeks later, Ross and the others finally left Drum Island.
Stella's medical skills had also improved several levels. Even without using her Devil Fruit ability, her medical skills were enough to serve as the ship's doctor for a great pirate crew.
Sora had completed recording all the medical information, which hadn't even occupied 0.5% of her brain capacity. Ever since learning that excessive memorization could cause the brain to enlarge, Sora had been very careful about efficient memorization.
After learning some quick classification methods from Ross, Sora used her overclocking ability to develop an ultra-efficient classification method adapted to the Brain-Brain Fruit.
Even if someone copied all of Vegapunk's memories, it still wouldn't fill up her brain's storage space.
The only slightly unusual thing was that, as Sora was about to leave Drum Island, she became pregnant as expected, with Ross's deliberate cooperation.
It was a boy, and also Ross's first child.
Ross didn't have any special feelings about his offspring. The pirate world had many ways to achieve longevity and immortality, so he didn't need his offspring to inherit anything from him, nor did he have any need for retirement.
Therefore, Ross was indifferent to the idea of having offspring.
However, as Sora became more and more important, he and Sora desperately needed such a bond as a connection.
Moreover, the name Jaygarcia Sanji seemed rather interesting.
…
On the ship.
Ross was with Sora by the bow of the ship, enjoying the sea breeze, while Stella, Moira, and Gion were leisurely drinking tea in the lounge area.
Don't you want a child?
Moira looked at Gion and couldn't help but provoke her.
Stella would tell her a lot about Ross, so she knew that Gion was Ross's legal wife.
Now that another woman had conceived Ross's child first, Gion must be angry no matter what.
