A strong sense of powerlessness, as if touching Seastone, flooded the dragon's body.
His other hand, so weak, couldn't resist Weibull's pursuit behind him.
The armed black naginata mercilessly left a huge gash in his back.
Vaguely, one could see the spine under the flesh of his back!
"Uh!!!"
Even dragons perseverance couldn't stop him from crying out in pain.
"Mr. Dragon!"
On the Revolutionary Army battleship, Winter Grama, which had withdrawn from the battle circle in the distance, Belo Betty and others who had been transferred there yelled.
Many of them were ready to rush back to the battlefield to help.
"Don't act rashly!"
Koala, the youngest among them, loudly stopped everyone's impulsive behavior.
"If you go back now, not only will you be unable to do anything, but you will also completely extinguish the last flame of the Revolutionary Army!"
Koala also respected Dragon, but she paid more attention to the fundamental goal of the Revolutionary Army—
To overthrow the World Government.
This is the difference between the Revolutionary Army and the Pirates.
To put it bluntly, the pirate crew is the captain's own group.
All actions of the crew members must revolve around the captain alone.
However, the Revolutionary Army is different. The leader is only the one who leads and commands the members.
That is, the one who makes the decisions.
Let's be cruel.
Koala compared the life of Monkey D. Dragon and the overthrow of the World Government on a scale.
She chose the latter.
Even if Dragon dies, as long as the Revolutionary Army remains, there is still a glimmer of hope.
For this reason, she must not allow Belo Betty and others to return to the battlefield.
Otherwise, the Revolutionary Army will truly be over!
In mid-air, Rhine clenched Dragon's fingers with his left hand, using the power of the Dark-Dark Fruit to temporarily disable his Devil Fruit ability.
Immediately afterwards, the Conqueror's Haki in his right hand pierced Dragon's abdomen heavily.
"goodbye! Monkey D. Dragon!"
Boom!!!
The leader of the Revolutionary Army fell to the ground hard like a meteor, creating a large crater with a diameter of tens of meters.
"Dragon, sir?"
Sabo's pupils shrank sharply in the distance.
From afar, he saw the figure lying on his back in the deep pit.
Still motionless, the huge blood hole in his abdomen was extra eye-catching.
"Dead, dead? Monkey D. Dragon..."
When the Chief of Staff said this, there was strong self-doubt in his tone.
This is also understandable, as since the beginning of the Great Pirate Era, the most difficult enemy for their Marines has not been the Four Emperors or the Warlords, but the Revolutionary Army!
They may not have the powerful force of the Emperor Pirates.
But they possess a more terrible weapon—
Thought.
And the source of this thought is Monkey D. Dragon!
But Sengoku suddenly came back to his senses after being dazed for a few seconds and restrained Garp.
"don't do anything! Garp!"
Garp's expression was ferocious and even twisted, struggling to break free from Sengoku's hold.
But it didn't work.
Could it be that he also consumed a lot of energy in this battle?
Or is it that the last remnant of "justice" in his heart stopped him?
"Mon, Monkey D. Dragon...is dead?"
"The most vicious criminal in the world... the leader of the Revolutionary Army... is dead?"
Equally shocked to the point of self-doubt were the reporters standing in front of the broadcast screen on Sabaody Archipelago.
Maybe it was the world's corrective power, or maybe Buggy's lucky color Haki was too strong.
Shortly after the Marines cut off the broadcast signal, Buggy and Mr. 3 gang found another video Transponder Snail.
Buggy took the opportunity to brag about himself again, making countless people dizzy at the same time.
The scene of Dragon's tragic death was also filmed.

Rhine brought Weibull back to the ground from high altitude, and at the same time, the system's prompt sounded in Rhine's mind.
"What are they trying to do?"
Seeing Rhine walking slowly to Dragon's body and putting his hand on Dragon's heart, everyone at the scene and in front of the screen showed puzzled looks.
Although Weibull's brain isn't the best, he's done it several times and has gradually become proficient.
Under Rhine's eye gesture, without further words, Weibull strung up Dragon's corpse with a naginata, just like he did with Usopp earlier, and stretched it out in front of Rhine.
"Damn! What are you going to do to Mr. Dragon!?"
Although he didn't know what Rhine was planning, Sabo instinctively had an ominous premonition and rushed towards Rhine with what little strength he had left.
However, an electric light blocked Sabo again.
The blade of the explosive current cut through the air and struck.
Surprised, Sabo could only wave his water hose to resist.
"Don't get in the way anymore, you can't do anything."
The eyes under Shiryu's military cap were full of contempt.
And while Shiryu blocked Sabo, Catherine Diemei, Basque Choate, Badgers, and other non-Devil Fruit users among the crew members all salivated together.
Badgers: "Captain, I think this ability is quite suitable for me!"
Catherine Diemei: "Are you kidding? Are you so weak that you can use his power? It's a complete waste for you!"
Basque Choate: "Phew... Phew... I, I want to try it too..."
"Shut up, you bastards!"
Weibull took full advantage of his role as Rhine's first loyal follower and cursed while shaking his nose.
"Give it to whoever Big Brother says!"
As soon as these words came out, Badgers and the others were instantly stunned.
The first rule of getting along with leaders:
If the leader doesn't give it, you can't take it.
"Well, I don't like this ability very much. As for who will get it... Let's talk about it after one of you makes great achievements in the future."
Rhine thought for a while and said.
He didn't like Dragon's ability, but it was okay for his subordinates.
But you can't give it randomly, you have to reward it based on merit.
Just like giving the Thunder Fruit to Shiryu because of his great achievements in Impel Down.
After all, Rhine is the captain of the pirates, and he is not being taken advantage of.
"What are those guys from the Rhine Pirates talking about?"
"They seem to be discussing who will get Monkey D. Dragon's ability."
"Really? After the death of a Devil Fruit user, isn't it random where the fruit is reborn?"
"How can such a thing be done?"
The nearby Marine and pirates vaguely heard the discussion among Rhine and his crew, and guessed something.
But all of them found it unbelievable, as many of them were veterans who had been sailing for decades.
They had never heard of such a thing.
"Could it be that Magellan's Devil Fruit was transferred to that sick pirate because of that man's ability!?"
Known as "The Resourceful General," Sengoku instantly remembered the ability of the Poison Poison Fruit that Poison Q now possessed, which originally belonged to Magellan.
Although it's not that Rhine has a way to transfer Devil Fruit abilities, how is it possible that a Devil Fruit regenerates so quickly?
And it just happened to fall into the hands of their group?
"Step aside!!"
Sabo also vaguely guessed what Rhine wanted to do.
Momentarily more emotional, he couldn't calm down thinking about the person he respected most being killed and his ability being taken away by the enemy.
"Is it annoying? If you want to die, I can grant you that wish."
Shiryu's eyes showed killing intent.
Although he had just become a Thunder Fruit user and wasn't proficient enough to master the ability, it shouldn't be a problem to deal with a half-disabled Sabo.
However, at this moment, a special musket with colored coils blocked Sabo's water pipe and Shiryu's thunderstorm in an instant.
"Benn Beckman."
Shiryu looked up and said the other party's name in a cold voice.
And at the same instant, the invisible violent waves that suddenly erupted also blew Rhine and the others' coats wildly.
Conqueror's Haki that can materialize an attack!
Bang!
There was a crisp sound of gold and iron clashing.
Weibull's naginata, which was strung with Dragon's corpse, was struck hard by a slender Western sword.
At the moment of losing balance, an afterimage passed by, bringing down the corpse above.
Weibull's eyes changed suddenly, as his speed was faster than his own!?
"People are dead, so don't insult him anymore. Even in the world of pirates, you must pay attention to the so-called 'benevolence and justice.'"
The deep but highly recognizable voice slightly changed the look of Mihawk, who had chosen to watch from afar.
The Marines, Whitebeard Pirates on the battlefield, the Revolutionary Army outside, and even the whole world were in a state of boiling.
Red-Haired Shanks!?
"Yes, red hair? Red Hair Pirates!"
"What is he doing here!?"
"You don't want to participate in this war, do you?"
"Damn it! Just when this war is coming to an end, how can there be another Emperor at this time!?"
It's no wonder the Marines were acting so terrified.
After all, Dragon is dead now, and the Revolutionary Army is basically collapsing across the board.
The only threat left is the Whitebeard Pirates.
If they could continue to maintain a cooperative relationship with the Rhine Pirates, they could take them down altogether.
However, with Shanks arriving, the situation changed completely.
But, it's not over yet!
"Can you stay away from that kid? After all, he is the son of my captain, and I can't just watch him fall into your hands."
The young Conqueror's Haki made the Marines chasing and killing Ace startled.
He looked at the white-haired old man walking towards him in sloppy clothes and flip-flops.
Both Marine and the crew of the Whitebeard Pirates stared in shock, and shouted each other's name in unison:
"Dark king Rayleigh!?"
And the Marines near the harbor were shocked to find that the Red Force of the Red Hair Pirates had already sailed in.
The sniper Yasopp, the chef Lucky Roux, the ship doctor Hongo, the combatant Limejuice, and other crew members also disembarked and stood behind Shanks, exuding an astonishing deterrent effect.
"Hey, it's still righteous. If you are so big, please don't put a hat on my head, okay?"
Rhine had a disgusted expression on his face.
"It's all pirates, what's the meaning of 'benevolence and justice'? Do you talk about benevolence and justice when you burn, kill, and loot? Have a flexible moral bottom line?"
