Revolutionary Army

The **Revolutionary Army** is an extremely powerful military organization led by Monkey D. Dragon.

They are the only force in the world that directly opposes the World Government and seek to dismantle it. They are particularly against the World Nobles of Mary Geoise who control and benefit from the corruption of the World Government. The Army was initially founded after the Ohara Incident happened.

Their former base of operations was the island of Baltigo, but after an intensive battle with the Blackbeard Pirates, they relocated to Momoiro Island also known as **Kamabakka Kingdom**.

## Overview

The Revolutionary Army's primary objective is to fight against the World Government's rule over the world by defying political oppression and corruption. According to Koala, their true purpose is to overthrow the tyrannical and hedonistic World Nobles.

Most of the Revolutionary Army's efforts are focused on liberating individual islands from local governments that are under the World Government. These small revolutions become easier if the World Government or its affiliates are in disarray. Due to being an independent militia, another goal of the Revolutionary Army is stockpiling arms in order to build up their military strength. They monitored Donquixote Family's underworld activity & dealing with Megiddo for the purposes of obtaining the weapons that the latter traded with and rescued their comrades who had been transformed and enslaved as toys. The arrest of Donquixote Doflamingo allowed the revolutionaries to seize all the weapons manufactured on Dressrosa. The Revolutionaries muster their forces by training young children into adulthood and providing contact information to normal civilians that desire not to be oppressed for being considered weak.

The war efforts of the Revolutionary Army culminated with distinguished heads of state and the general public recognizing their opposition to the Government and being shocked by the endeavors. The rapid development and progress of this resistance movement agitated the Government so much they were required to initiate clandestine operations that were not known to the general public to disrupt their plans.

Despite eventually initiating conspicuous and perpetual military hostilities against the Celestial Dragons, several prominent revolutionaries maintain the belief to only assist people so that they can be able to help themselves. Ivankov explains to a pleading Bentham that he is not a miracle worker, thinking that miracles only come to those who are determined. According to Ivankov, he always questions the "will to live" of the nations he saved as a revolutionary. This was substantiated when the four Revolutionary Commanders went to the Lulusia Kingdom to protect the citizens from the Peachbeard Pirates. Rather than saving the citizens by engaging the pirates directly, the commanders instead empowered and supported the civilians so that they could fight against the pirates themselves by boosting the citizens' strength and morale through Belo Betty's Devil Fruit abilities as well as incapacitating and stealing the pirates' weapons.

King Thalassa Lucas once stated during the Levely that their ideals and actions were dangerous. People who join the Revolutionary Army are considered notorious threats to the government, especially the high-ranking members. The leader, Dragon, is known as "The World's Worst Criminal", the second in command Sabo engaged Marine Admiral Fujitora in direct combat, and members Emporio Ivankov and Inazuma were imprisoned in Level 5 of Impel Down.

According to Nico Robin and Donquixote Doflamingo, despite mutually opposing the World Government and Marines, revolutionaries and pirates rarely cooperate. The two factions can become hostile to each other due to conflicting objectives. This was seen when the Blackbeard Pirates attacked and destroyed the Revolutionary Army base at Baltigo and again when the Revolutionary Army executives defeated the Peachbeard Pirates to prevent them from raiding the port town of the Lulusia Kingdom. However, they can occasionally collaborate to fulfill a mutual objective or defeat a common enemy. After the events of the Dressrosa Arc, Rob Lucci realized the revolutionaries had used the chaos of the uprising incited by the Straw Hats-Heart Pirates alliance to seize munitions and evidence related to Doflamingo's black market activities.

Upon learning that Luffy is the son of the leader Dragon, the Marines made it a top priority for Luffy to be eliminated due to this heritage. They have also been informed about the Chief of Staff Sabo's connection to the Straw Hat Pirates captain.

## Organization

Dragon of the Goa Kingdom, Emporio Ivankov of the Kamabakka Kingdom and Bartholomew Kuma of the Sorbet Kingdom, the Revolutionary Army is currently led by its supreme commander Dragon, his chief of staff Sabo, who oversees the army's personnel, and Sabo's executive & Aurelius liaison officer Jason Horne, who is in charge of army's special operations.
