Give the pirate world a little heroic spirit shock)

"Not yet."

A greasy voice appeared behind Heizhen, scaring her so much that she turned around and swept the gun.

Kizaru did not resist any further. He transformed into an element in advance and avoided the attack, but did not counterattack Kuroneko immediately.

"I've heard of it. The legendary Sea King can command almost all the sea kings in the ocean."

Kizaru said as he looked at the sea kings lined up in the distance.

NO73. It’s better if it doesn’t exist

Heizhen didn't know what ancient weapons were and wasn't interested in them.

But she heard a hint of fear in Kizaru's teasing tone.

"You don't seem to want to continue?" Heizhen asked as he retracted his flagpole.

Although the fight seemed to be going back and forth just now, the longer the battle lasted, the more Kuroneji could feel how unfathomable Kizaru was.

"Since she can display power similar to that of the Sea King, even if she does escape, the World Government will not let you go." Kizaru said while floating in a normal standing position, "You will be given the most enviable bounty, and wherever you go, you will be hunted by the navy."

"That's exactly what I want." Heizhen showed an evil smile.

"Oh~ Young and vigorous criminals are so scary~"

The bear stopped in front of Kizaru and said, "Aren't you going to fight anymore?"

"We've been fighting for so long, and I've roughly figured out what happened." Kizaru said, "Hassan Sabbah and that mysterious Master saved a city from a volcanic disaster, right?"

A country to be exact.

"In that case, there is no need for me to take action against the hero who has made great contributions. I can go blind. There is no bounty hunter here." Kizaru said, crossing his arms.

The monitoring Den Den Mushi just sent a message that the large group of troops he brought with him seemed to be getting farther and farther away from him.

"What do you mean? We haven't finished fighting yet, right?!" Heizhen asked with his gun raised.

"After all, I came to the South Sea this time to investigate the assassination of the Celestial Dragons." Kizaru put his hands in his pockets and said, "There are no criminals here who are worth paying for the lives of the Celestial Dragons."

Heizhen tilted her head strangely. The village girl's simple little head didn't understand the connection between these two sentences and not wanting to fight anymore.

"But, Kuma." Kizaru looked at the giant, "The news of your hostility towards the Celestial Dragons has spread throughout the Navy and even Stowe Town. If you still want to join the Seven Warlords of the Sea, the only way is to hand over the real murderer to the World Government."

After saying this, he glanced at the fishing boat that had disappeared among the waves.

"Think carefully. This is your last chance. There is only one person in this world who can save your daughter."

The bear raised his palm: "No more talk."

After taking action, Xiong had made all preparations, not to mention that he had just dismantled the machine installed by the Five Elders to monitor him.

"...Take care, buddy." No amount of sympathy could change anything. Kizaru shook his head, then turned into a ray of light and disappeared on the spot.

"..."

Looking at the vast ocean, the bear was silent for a long time, and then knelt down on the sea.

"Hey? Are you okay?!" Heizhen was startled. She stepped forward to help Xiong up. "Hey, you guys, we're on the sea. It's a miracle you didn't sink... You don't look seriously injured, do you?"

Xiong wiped his face with the back of his hand. His expression didn't seem to change. "Nothing. I'll take you back to your friends."

"what?"

While Heizhen was stunned, the bear's palm had already slapped her shoulder.

The next moment, Heizhen found herself standing on a fishing boat, with Jingji sitting beside her without saying a word.

"What's going on..." Heizhen looked confused.

……

In front of the town of Stowe, a warship full of people slowly stopped at the edge of the island.

Along the way, they received a lot of refugees, and the deck was already crowded.

"Did an island sink in the South China Sea?"

Zhan Taowan couldn't help but ask such questions. They tried to ask the refugees, but all they got were some weird answers.

When the warship finally stopped in front of the island, the refugees made prayer gestures and got off the boat one by one.

The navy is only responsible for escort, and how to resettle these refugees is something that local governments or the world government should consider.

"Isn't this where we started? Is the old man really here?" After all the refugees left, Zhan Taomaru came to Attila and asked curiously.

"...A god who kills all people is indeed a bad civilization, right?" Attila did not answer Zhan Taomaru, but asked another question that she had been thinking about all the way.

It seemed that she had also overheard the conversations of the refugees along the way.

"There is no such thing as a god. It's just superstition that old people use to fool children." As a child who grew up in the technological capital of Eggshell Island, Zhan Taowan disdains the so-called gods.

"What is it that is killing them?" Attila asked from the bottom of his heart.

"It's a disaster..." Zhan Taomaru sighed. "When one person has bad luck, it's a disaster for that person. When a country has bad luck, it's a disaster for the whole country... I haven't done anything wrong, but I still have to endure this. From this perspective, blaming the non-existent god might be the easiest way to find comfort in my sorrow."

"So, does that mean God is civilized?"

"..." Zhan Taowan thought of the tyrannical Celestial Dragons. Those idiots called themselves the clan of gods, enjoying their privileges with peace of mind and bullying the people.

"Only a non-existent God can be considered a good civilization." He pondered and gave his answer.

"I see."

Attila seemed to have really figured something out.

While they were talking, deliberately noisy footsteps were heard from behind them. The two turned around and saw Kizaru walking slowly towards them.

"Yo~ I was wondering why you were getting farther and farther away. So you were escorting refugees?" Kizaru looked at the refugees leaving in the distance under the escort of the navy and said with interest.

"Old man? Where have you been?" Zhan Taomaru noticed that Kizaru's clothes were slightly dirty, and there were traces of cleaning at the corners of his mouth.

This is not normal. According to Zhan Taomaru's understanding, Kizaru must have just experienced a big battle.

"I went to the hometown of those Japanese refugees, and there was just a terrible volcanic eruption there." Kizaru said, and he resolved the doubts in Zhan Taomaru's mind.

"I see, what a bunch of pathetic people..." Zhan Taomaru sighed. "Should we rest for a while? Go hunt that bear?"

"No need, take a rest, we will return to the Grand Line." Kizaru waved his hand and said, "It's over, we can go back."

"Is it over already?!"

“…” Attila looked at the two people chatting, then turned back to look at the refugees stumbling towards the depths of the town.

These refugees are only a part of the destroyed Kingdom of Bado. They will integrate into this city and live together with the indigenous people of this city. In this process, they may have conflicts and even disputes.

But at the same time, they will cooperate in the face of contradictions and come to an end in the face of disputes.

If all goes well, after several generations, they will gradually forget the sadness of the destruction of their hometown, forget that ethereal god, and completely integrate into the town and become one of them.

No matter what, for them now, everything has just begun.

NO74. Do as I say

The atmosphere in the capital of the Bey Kingdom is now relatively harmonious. The people have just recovered from the war in the afternoon. They held a small banquet to calm the people's restless hearts caused by the war.

They didn't know how far the war had progressed, but after spending time together this afternoon and hearing the royal family's propaganda, they roughly understood that the terrifying Dragon Witch was a friendly force invited by King Bay.

This did appease the people to a certain extent, but at the banquet, everyone still couldn't relax.

Many people drink heavily because they are worried that their heads will be chopped off by invaders tomorrow. While they can still get drunk, they want to get themselves drunk while they are still alive.

The king sat on a high platform at the harbor and entertained the people to appease them.

As the pillar of the country, the king must appear confident, as if the invaders are completely insignificant.

But in fact, he was one of the most unsure people present. In the evening, the reinforcements he had invited left mysteriously, and not long ago, the woman in black armor she had left behind also disappeared.

Sitting on the platform and announcing to the people that safety is now just a pretense, but there is no other way now. We can only pray that the invaders will not suddenly launch an attack at this time.

What you fear will come true. Just when the banquet was halfway through, Captain Delhi suddenly ran over from the shore.

He should be on guard at the port, and his sudden appearance here must mean something bad has happened.

Lord Delhi, who was overwhelmed with work, suddenly arrived at the banquet and immediately attracted the attention of all the residents attending the banquet.

Sure enough, everyone was just maintaining a superficial optimism.

The king could no longer pretend. He stood up from the throne trembling, took Delhi's telescope, and looked at the waves on the sea behind him.

This place is not too close to the Kingdom of Bado. After all, if it is too close, it is hard to guarantee that it will not be affected by disasters.

Even so, this place is still affected by geological activities, and the waves are abnormally frequent, but it is much better than the apocalyptic appearance in front of Bardo Island.

On the distant sea, several huge treasure ships were swaying with the waves, and the lights on those ships could be seen from afar.

The king clenched his sleeves. If every one of those treasure ships was filled with people, they would definitely not be able to carry it alone.

The people at the banquet looked up at the king anxiously. They didn't know what had happened on the beach, but they could guess.

The already suppressed panic spread, and the whispers of the people drowned out the music at the party.

The king's arms were shaking and he didn't even have the strength to run away.

"Your Majesty..." Captain Derry bowed his head behind him, "I will give everything for the kingdom."

Delhi's statement of being ready to die calmed the king down. He put down the telescope and looked at Delhi's face.

"I have never sincerely regretted refusing to pay the Heavenly Gold." The king said in a low voice.

"I'm proud of you then, too," Derry said.

He vaguely remembered the king's majestic and tall posture when he was crowned.

But the king now has white hair, a hunched body, and always looks worried.

"I want to die with my country, what about you?"

"You knew the answer all along."

The king smiled, and the confidence of his youth seemed to return to his face. He turned around and looked at his subjects who were waiting for the result.

He drew his carved wooden sword and pointed it toward the sky.

"Children..."

"thump!!!!"

Just as the king was about to launch a brilliant speech and lead the people in launching a final counterattack, the sound of the sea surface being broken was heard from the sea behind him.

This sound, like a loud bell at the end of the curtain call, abruptly stopped the king from speaking.

He looked back blankly and saw several huge sea kings floating on the sea surface.

These monsters at the top of the ocean food chain formed a circle and surrounded several treasure ships.

"Those are..." The king was stunned. The sea kings were so huge that they could be seen clearly even without a telescope.

"It's her..." Captain Delhi showed a look of surprise.

He recalled his experience in the Calm Belt this morning, when Liis had defeated a sea king and allowed it to leave the Calm Belt with its black ship.

And now, countless sea kings suddenly appeared hundreds of meters away from the shore and stopped the invaders for the kingdom.

This is definitely the work of the girl who calls herself the Master.

"Is it her? Is it them?!" The king was also in tears.

The treasure ships that were surrounded were shining with lights, and they were obviously frightened by this sudden situation.

Prince Ai, the most prestigiously dressed man in the fleet, held a musket in his hand and looked at the huge monster swimming past the ship with a stiff expression.

As the heir chosen by Lanny who stayed in the kingdom to die, he was supposed to wait until the Bey Kingdom to hold his own coronation ceremony.

By that time, the Bado Kingdom would probably have been destroyed. Although direct damage such as magma could not affect this side, the dust erupting from the volcano that covered the sky and blocked out the sun could probably be seen throughout the South China Sea.

He was ready to mourn his kingdom and regroup with his people in the new land, but these sea kings that suddenly rose from the sea dragged his future into darkness.

Most of the people on these ships were civilians, because according to the plan, their troops should have conquered the Bey Kingdom.

This also means that they now have almost no means to deal with so many sea kings. As long as the ship is dragged into the water, death is waiting for so many people.

"What should we do?" The handful of guards were also looking at him anxiously.

Prince Ai closed his eyes and leaned back, trying to escape reality.

At this moment, several guards and confidants suddenly cried out in surprise.

There was no vibration or screaming, so it should not be the Sea Kings officially launching an attack. Prince Ai opened his eyes and saw these people looking behind them in disbelief.
