How can I become the Pirate King if you don’t work hard?.

Chapter 276 Fuck Justice 3
a few minutes ago.

The coast of the Seven Waters City.

Countless survivors, who barely made it out of the clutches of the IQ beast, have gathered here.

They gazed excitedly at the warships anchored on the distant sea, their eyes filled with indescribable excitement and relief.

"The reinforcements Mr. Iceberg mentioned are right there!"

The girl who once questioned the iceberg stood alone in the crowd.

Now she has lost everything, from family to friends, either killed by pirates or by the claws of the IQ Beast.

Fortunately, the Navy arrived, and justice came too, so all the evil in Water Seven will disappear!
"Hello~"

"Sir Navy, we're here!"

The girl danced and shouted at the warships on the sea, hoping for a response.

At the same time, countless survivors on the beach called out, but received no response whatsoever.

The people who initially gathered on the beach stared blankly at the warships, their faces filled with confusion, and a sense of unease rising in their hearts.

The steel behemoth anchored on the sea has already unleashed its claws; it can be a righteous navy, or it can transform into a butcher in the next instant.

"I hope I'm overthinking it... How could the Navy do something like that?"

One of the survivors looked into the distance, opened his mouth, and barely managed to suppress the unease in his heart.

But in the next instant, a strong hand pushed him away.

"How could...how could...how could such a thing happen?!"

Several hours had passed when T-Bone, who was ugly and seriously injured, arrived here.

But looking at the rows of warships lined up on the distant sea, he felt a chill run through his body.

The civilians present were bewildered, but T-Bone, as an officer of the Navy Headquarters, was all too familiar with the scene before him.

"The Buster Call".

T-Bone struggled to utter those words.

call--!
A sea breeze blew by, lifting the cape behind T-shirt and also stirring the flag of justice fluttering on the warship.

The moment T-Bone looked up, he noticed Akainu standing on the deck of the warship, and his anger instantly extinguished his reason:

"Sakazuki, are you crazy?"

A furious shout interrupted Akainu's thoughts. He looked up at the person in the distance and immediately saw T-Bone covered in blood.

"Peng En, you're still alive?"

"The blueprints for Pluton have been leaked. Does the Navy, no, the World Government really want to go this far?"

"What do the tens of thousands, even hundreds of thousands of lives here mean to you?!"

"Is this the Navy's justice?!"

Faced with T-Bone's hysterical questioning, Akainu was speechless.

He could only lower his head, hiding his gaze under the brim of his hat, while his hands, which were in his pockets, clenched involuntarily.

Standing next to Akainu, the CP0 member with the white face lowered his eyes and looked at T-Bone.

He stood tall and straight, his pristine white suit standing in stark contrast to the refugees below, and his voice carried an undeniable authority.
"God's will is absolute, and God's will is justice."

"God said to destroy the Seven Waters, so destroying this place is justice."

The crowd in the distance fell silent for a moment, but then became incredibly chaotic the next second, with faint screams escaping from their ears.

"The Navy...the Navy is here to destroy Water Seven too?!"

"How can this be?!"

"Then how do you explain that they haven't made a single move since they arrived here late last night?"

"This can only mean that they are waiting for an opportunity, an opportunity to annihilate everyone, and we... are among those who will be wiped out!"

"You can't possibly have never heard of the Buster Call, can you?!"

Panic is spreading.

Someone suffered a mental breakdown and turned to flee towards Water Seven, only to be swallowed whole by an IQ monster that sprang from the ruins.

Countless survivors were terrified.

They then realized that they only had two dead ends ahead of them.

The navy, which they had been looking forward to, suddenly became the executioners who slaughtered them, and everyone's expressions turned pale at that moment.

Some people also thought of Gawain and his gang, and asked in confusion:
"But Lieutenant General Lancelot isn't..."

"They are not the navy."

In the crowd, Barry, who had escorted everyone here with Franky, struggled to tell the truth:

"They are just..."

"This is impossible!"

A commoner knelt on both knees, buried his head in his hands, and wept bitterly.

"They're not from the navy, why are they..."

"But the real navy... he'll kill you too."

Barry threw the cigar from his mouth onto the ground, then crushed it with his foot, cursing loudly:

"Pirates have become champions of justice, while the Navy has become executioners of massacres..."

"This fucked-up world!"

As T-Bone listened to these words, his eyes turned even redder:

"To hell with justice!"

The pressure that had been building up in T-Bone's heart finally erupted at this moment, and even the knightly code that was almost etched into his bones was thrown to the back of his mind.

He gripped the blood-stained longsword tightly in one hand.

If he could, he would be willing to give his life in exchange for the lives of these civilians.

But what T-Bone knew even more clearly was just how powerful the man standing silently on the deck at this moment was, and just how ruthless he was in his actions.

If Akainu's will cannot be changed, even risking one's life will not change anything.

At least……

We must fight for the lives of these ordinary people!
"To hell with the World Government! To hell with the Celestial Dragons!"

"I--!"

boom--!
A burst of gunfire suddenly erupted beside Akainu.

The T-bone in the distance collapsed to the ground, and bright red blood spread out.

The world fell silent at that moment; the surging crowd on the beach stopped abruptly with the sound of the gunshot.

They hadn't expected their opponent to act so decisively. They knew T-Bone wasn't like Gawain's group; he was a true Marine.

"What are you doing?!"

Akainu turned his head and looked expressionlessly at CP0, who was holding a flintlock pistol with white smoke billowing from the muzzle.

"Eliminate the World Government—!"

boom!
The crimson lava surged and flowed at that moment, illuminating the surroundings and making Akainu's cold and hard face appear even redder.

That was a near-out-of-control rage!
He is straightforward and leaves no room for compromise in his actions, so he doesn't have many people he can call friends.

Aside from Kizaru, who is lazy and seems indifferent to everything, there is only T-Bone, who has an equally strong will.

The T-bone was even more important to Akainu.

One after another, giant Crimson Lotus Hounds surged from Akainu's arm, lunging to bite at the Whiteface CP0 member standing nearby.

"Are you going to defy the gods?!"

CP0 Whiteface instinctively roared, but the giant lava hound that was biting at him came even faster, and Akainu, in his rage, could hardly stop it.

At this moment, CP0 finally realized that the World Government, the Celestial Dragons, and the Five Elders were all powerful figures he could use to intimidate those who followed the rules.

But once the other party chooses to fight to the death, no one can help them.

"You are crazy!"

Whiteface, a member of CP0, retreated rapidly. He was extremely fast and his combat strength surpassed that of an ordinary vice admiral, yet he couldn't even protect himself when facing Akainu.

laugh--!
The sound of lava burning flesh caused CP0 Whiteface to let out a piercing scream.

His right arm was torn off by the Crimson Giant Dog and instantly burned to a crisp. He didn't care about that, because when he looked up he saw Akainu's fist right in front of him.

Am I going to die?!
A thought flashed through CP0's mind, but at that moment a roaring sound came to his ears.

Akainu's fist stopped just short of his eyes, the intense heat from the molten lava even burning the tip of his nose.

Then a burst of arrogant laughter echoed from the center of Water Seven.

"Hahahaha-!"

The laughter was arrogant and domineering, yet it carried a sense of impending doom, like a candle flickering in the wind.

The enraged Akainu also came to his senses at that moment.

He forced down his anger and turned around to see a scene that was utterly horrifying.

The floating island high in the sky collapsed and fell as if it had gone out of control.

The massive floating island, with a diameter of over ten kilometers, exerted wind pressure upon its fall, like a heavy hammer, making it difficult for people around the beach to breathe!
The civilians watched in despair as the island fell from the sky, having lost the strength to resist or be angry.

"So even the true gods want us to die?!"

……

"This is……"

Akainu's pupils suddenly contracted.

In his mind, only the Golden Lion's Floating-Floating Fruit could create floating islands.

The ferocious beast that Lion has released is still in Water Seven, so it's impossible that Lion took the initiative to attack.

Then there's only one possibility: the Golden Lion's abilities have completely failed.

This means that Shiki, who had roamed the seas for decades, clashed with the Knights of God at the God Valley Battle, fought against Roger and Whitebeard, and made the name of the Flying Pirates resound throughout the seas, was now...

He died in battle!

And the name of the one who killed the Golden Lion is about to be revealed...

"Knight Gawain!"

The name resurfaced in Akainu's mind once again, but this time it carried a completely different meaning than before.

The new lion king will inevitably step over the corpse of the old lion king to ascend the throne, and at this moment, Gawain will be the new king!
From this moment forward, the name Gawain the Knight has earned the right to stand alongside those legends of the past.

……

……

……

Mariejoia.

The Five Elders stared at the images projected back by the Den Den Mushi and fell into an eerie silence.

Even Maz, who had originally obeyed Im's orders and was determined to keep Gawain in Water Seven even if it meant taking matters into his own hands, remained silent.

"Shiki the Golden Lion, has he finally died in battle too?"

Nasujiro frowned, and an invisible aura emanated from his body, causing several cracks to appear on the tea table in front of them.

"Tch—!"

"The Golden Lion is dead, but the Lion's name lives on, and even more troublesome than the Golden Lion himself has been left behind!"

Sacred Worch raised his eyes, looking at Gawain, who had sheathed his sword in the center of the battlefield, and the Golden Lion, who stood before Gawain with a magnanimous smile as he breathed his last. His tone was solemn as he said:

"Even if we take action now, we might not be able to keep Knight Gawain."

"No, we definitely can't keep them!"

"This guy is completely out of control. The best course of action now is to recruit him, rather than push him to the opposite side."

"A Yonko-level being, who even possesses near-immortal combat power, cannot be ignored by anyone."

"But that lord's orders must be carried out..."

clatter--!
Nasujiro Sei gripped his long sword, ready to strike.

"Speaking of which, how long has it been since the five of us last made a move?!"

"It's been so long that I've almost forgotten about it."

"But on this vast sea, there can be no second Rocks standing against us!"

"and many more!"

Satan raised his hand to stop the others from moving, then turned to look at the projected Den Den Mushi screen with interest, a smile playing on his lips, and said:
"It seems that this time, we might not even need to activate the Buster Call."

"That Golden Lion is dead, but he left us with some unexpected surprises..."

The group was taken aback, and when they turned around, they saw several floating islands falling from the sky on the projected image.

These floating islands are larger than most towns, and their impact from falling from the sky is simply outrageous!
There is absolutely no chance of survival for Water City!
"This can be considered another form of Buster Call, another kind of..."

"The will of God!"

……

……

……

The capital of seven waters.

The center of the battlefield.

Luo struggled to stand upright, resisting the wind pressure high in the sky.

He glanced at the Golden Lion, then focused his attention on Gawain.

In Luo's view, the Golden Lion was dead, and his feud with him was over.

At this moment, Luo felt as if his heart was about to jump out of his mouth, and his soul and blood were almost boiling!

No one is absolutely invincible.

There is always someone stronger than the strongest, and there is always a mountain higher than the one in the world.

There are no invincible monsters; I was just too weak in the past.

But now everything is different...

If I am strong enough, I can even defeat a monster like the Golden Lion. If Gawain can do it, I can definitely do it too!

As he pondered, Luo gripped the long sword in his hand even tighter, feeling as if something had entered his body, but ultimately fell short and was released.

high in the air.

Every instant, the floating island's falling speed increased, and the accumulating impact force grew stronger. Once it hit the ground, the entire Water Seven would sink to the bottom of the sea.

Luo no longer wanted to escape.

He witnessed the final chapter of the Golden Lion, and now he wants to see just how the man who severed the legend can do in the face of the natural disaster before him!
But at that moment, a familiar yet deeper voice rang out beside Luo.

"Luo, I've finally found you! What are you waiting for?"

"The floating island is about to crash; we must evacuate!"

Although the voice was somewhat different from what Luo remembered, he immediately recognized the person's identity.

"Bepo?!"

Luo's eyes lit up at that moment, but froze the instant he turned around, only to find a snow-white wall in front of him.

"Um?!"

Luo paused for a moment, then slowly raised his head.

Only then did they realize that what was in front of them was not a wall, but a snow-white raging bear that was over ten meters tall, with bulging muscles all over its body and a ferocious appearance.

He could even see the throbbing veins on the latter's exaggerated pectoral muscles.

"What the hell!"

"What the hell is this?!"

Luo's brain went blank for a moment.

Compared to this thing, he was more inclined to believe that the polar bear he first saw was Bepo.

But both the sound and the familiar feeling proved that this thing was Bepo.

You're telling me Bepo turned out like this in just over a month?!

no……

Who fed them that food?!
