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

Chapter 450 First Cry
"This time, the kill radius of the Uranus was reduced by half due to the lock on Knight Gawain, to only eighty kilometers. However, thanks to the accelerated repair progress of the Uranus, the output power has increased by nearly double!"

"Such power is enough to leave a giant crater a kilometer deep on the continent. Now, there is no sign of life within an 80-kilometer radius centered on Camelot."

"In other words."

"Knight Gawain, along with the powerful figures gathered in Camelot... have all been annihilated!"

Upon hearing this, the Five Elders could not hide the excitement on their faces.

Ignoring the CP organization members present, he immediately opened a bottle of high-end champagne and sprayed it everywhere to vent the pressure that had been building up in his heart.

Although Nasujiro Sei disliked such scenes, he joined in the celebration this time.

The pressure from Gawain was simply too great, coupled with the fact that the Knights of the Round Table were all at the level of Emperors, this force had reached a point where the World Government was unable to sleep at night.

But now all of that is in the past.

As long as Im possesses the Ancient Weapons, the World Government he created will be able to continue until the day the world is destroyed.

This world still belongs to them, to the Celestial Dragons!
Prosperity remains! Power remains! The future remains!
"Knight Gawain, no matter how dazzling you are, is ultimately just a flash in the pan!"

"This world ultimately belongs to us!"

"Ha ha ha ha……"

Nasujiro couldn't help but let out a dry laugh, but the laugh grew softer and softer.

He pointed to the projected image that would return to normal, his fingers trembling uncontrollably.

"What...what is that?!"

The people celebrating in the conference room seemed to be put on pause, turning around to stare blankly at the projected image.

Camelot had now become a living hell.

The Heavenly King left behind a giant crater tens of kilometers wide, with flowing lava, a crimson expanse, and the backflowing seawater constantly evaporating, forming steam that fills the sky, only to vaporize in the next instant.

Red lotuses bloom on the earth, and everything else is burned to ashes.

But what is visible to the naked eye is...

Wisps of pale blue earth vein energy surged from the distant mountains and land, like ribbons of light, converging towards the crimson sphere floating high in the sky at the center of the red lotus.

boom--!
boom--!
boom--!
A deep, powerful thumping sound spread across the land, like the heartbeat of some monster, and also reached the ears of the Five Elders through the Den Den Mushi.

At that moment, the Five Elders felt a chill run down their spines!
Do not!
The chill came from the depths of their souls, even reminding them of the feeling of life being manipulated by Im.

"what is that?!"

Nasujiro's voice was hoarse, his body was trembling, and his face was deathly pale.

The most terrifying speculation came to mind, but he dared not believe it.

If there really are men in this world who can't be killed by ancient weapons, then...

"This is impossible!"

Satan Saint's obese and frail body trembled as he huddled on the sofa, his eyes filled with unprecedented fear.

If even the ancient weapons they consider their trump cards can't deliver the final blow, then where is this world headed?!

Does the future truly belong to the World Government, the Celestial Dragons, or that person?
Or……

Is this man, who has reached the position of the world's king in just three years, truly the chosen one of God?
They've come here to carry out divine punishment and strip the Celestial Dragons of their privileges?!

Can……

Where did we go wrong?
The Five Elders couldn't understand this.

But they knew that if one shot didn't kill him, they would fire a second!
"Second shot!"

"quick!"

Satan grabbed the Den Den Mushi from the table and let out a near-screaming sound:

"I'm going to crush that monster in Britannias!"

There was a hint of hesitation in the voice coming from the other end of the phone:

"Lord Satan, the Heavenly King is on cooldown and needs time."

"Our control over the Mother Spark isn't at Vegapunk's level. If we keep pushing it too hard, it might damage it!"

"I do not care!"

At this moment, Satan no longer cared about anything else; he only wanted to destroy the fear in his heart, along with Britannias and that monster!
"I want to see that monster die!"

"Yes!"

……

A few minutes later, another white light descended upon Camelot, instantly engulfing the crimson sphere suspended in the sky.

This time, however, the range is smaller, the output is more concentrated, and the single-point destructive power is stronger.

The projection screen that the Navy had just restored was flashed again, and this time a group of high-ranking Navy officers stared at the projection screen in deep thought.

"Why were those five able to activate the Heavenly King's power a second time in such a short period of time?!"

The crane murmured softly, already having found the answer in its heart.

The World Government risked accelerating the world's sinking by launching Uranus's attack, with the aim of killing Gawain and completely eliminating the threat posed by Britannias.

No one else deserves such a huge price.

The reason for firing again now can only be that the first shot did not achieve the expected goal.

This was an extremely simple conjecture, and the crane opened its mouth several times, but did not utter a word.

Sengoku, standing nearby, stared blankly at Aokiji, the words Aokiji had just spoken flashing through his mind: even ancient weapons couldn't kill that monster...

Where does the future of the Navy lie?!
This question was on everyone's mind at the same time, yet no one offered their own answer.

It was also at this time.

After a long silence, Akainu raised his hand and removed his hat, looking at everyone present with a blank expression. His tone was calm, yet it conveyed an unwavering determination:
"Whose justice is the Navy carrying on its shoulders?!"

"This issue should have a result by now."

……

Mariejoia.

The Five Elders awaited the outcome of the second attack with unease.

soon.

The projection Den Den Mushi in the office reappeared in the eyes of the five people.

This time, the crimson sphere had disappeared, and all that could be seen was Camelot, flowing with lava, a scene resembling the end of the world.

"Finally... is he dead? He should be dead this time, right?!"

Satan slumped on the sofa, feeling as if his soul had been ripped away.

As a scientist, he was well aware of the properties of the Mother Flame and Uranus.

Two consecutive shots in a short period of time is already the limit.

If it is forced to start, not only will the mother flame be completely drained and destroyed, but the Heavenly King will also have a very high probability of exploding due to overheating.

Fortunately, everything has finally settled down...

"and many more!"

Nasujiro Sei's voice came again.

The four men's expressions changed drastically.

They saw the crimson sphere rising again from the lava flowing below.

The earth's energy, so dense it was almost tangible, converged on the crimson sphere from an area tens of kilometers away.

A hazy blue light, a blazing red lotus.

The scene, composed of two conflicting elements, plunged the Five Elders into an icy abyss!

soon.

Before the astonished eyes of the Five Elders, the crimson sphere unfurled. Its disproportionate wings stretched out in all directions, and its ferocious tail danced in the air. For the first time, the Crimson Dragon revealed its most ferocious form to the world!
High in the sky, it roars to the heavens!

"Roar--!"

The roar of the dragon echoed throughout the entire territory of Britannias!
That was the return of a king, no, that was the first cry of a god descending to earth!

It is also the Five Elders' nightmare!
A being far more terrifying, greater, and more irresistible than Joy Boy from eight hundred years ago!

……

The five elders in the office stared at the inhuman figure in the screen, their faces drained of color.

For the first time, they had the thought that even if they betrayed Im, even if they lost everything, they would never be enemies with that man!
The office was completely silent; not even a breath could be heard. Only they could see the fear and unease on each other's faces.

"When exactly will that monster attack Mary Geoise? Now? Or in the next second?!"

"Lord Im will intervene..."

"Is Lord Im still a match for him?!"

……

Navy Headquarters.

When the projection Den Den Mushi was repaired, all they saw was the figure of the Red Dragon roaring to the sky.

It is majestic and domineering, ferocious and evil, yet it is also filled with something that is hard to conceal, which should be called divinity.

Akainu, who had been talking eloquently about the Navy's future plans, fell silent for a moment, staring intently at Aokiji, his lips twitching.

"Don't look at me like that, I was just saying it offhand, who would have thought that monster would actually... would actually..."

In Aokiji's eyes, there was an undisguised admiration.

No one knew the power of the Ancient Weapons better than Gawain, the King of Britannias, and no one revered their existence more than him.

Looking back at Gawain's voyage from the East China Sea to the New World over several years, it can be said that it was almost entirely centered around ancient weapons.

The East Blue is accumulating strength to qualify as one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea, thus avoiding trouble from the Navy.

After failing to catch Hades, Alabasta turned its attention to Water Seven and secretly obtained Hades' blueprints without the world's knowledge.

After entering the New World, he quickly established himself in Britannias. Then, taking advantage of the chaos of the Marineford War, he invaded Impel Down, all in order to obtain Vegapunk's technology to forge Pluton!
The more I think about it.

Aokiji and those present became increasingly convinced that everything Gawain had done over the past three years revolved around ancient weapons.

This man's goal, from the very beginning, has been the whole world!
But now, this same man has broken the shackles that bind the world, proving that ancient weapons are not invincible!
But anyone with a discerning eye can see it.

It's not that ancient weapons were weak, it's that Gawain... was too strong!

"Don't you guys think that Knight Gawain... seems a little different?!"

"That's not what we're talking about right now..."

Sengoku wanted to interrupt Aokiji, but he was stunned when he looked at Akuryu.

What he could sense was that, even though they were thousands of miles apart, the aura of the man in the projected image was still rising almost without limit!
He's still getting stronger!
"monster!"

"How can there be such a monster in this world, one that is completely beyond reason!"

When the Vice Admirals of the Navy Headquarters around saw the enormous figure on the projected screen, they even felt an urge to prostrate themselves in worship!
What the hell? What happened to Knight Gawain?
If this was true even in the Warring States period, it was even more so among the other generals around him.

"It's like...it's..."

Dalmexia, sporting a dog's head, was anxious but couldn't find the right words to describe it.

Kizaru, who had been silent for some time, spoke up:

"Like a god descending to earth?! Could this guy have evolved into another dimension?!"

"Ahhh~"

Kizaru reached up and scratched his head, then realized something was wrong and his movement froze slightly.
"just kidding."

Kizaru looked around and realized that everyone's eyes were on him, but no one could laugh.

If Gawain is a god among men, then what are the Celestial Dragons who currently reside in Mary Geoise?!

A thief who usurped divine authority?!

This thought flashed through everyone's minds for a moment, and then they could never forget it.

a long time.

Standing atop the blackboard, Akainu took a deep breath, tapped it to draw everyone's attention, and said:
"The meeting continues."

"The future of the Navy must be decided today."

……

a few minutes ago.

Britannia border.

Kidd, who had survived the ordeal, knelt on the ground and vomited, taking several minutes to barely regain his senses.

For a brief moment, he almost thought he was going to die.

Unexpectedly, a pale blue portal suddenly opened on the gates of Camelot.

Although they didn't know what was inside the door, staying there would surely mean certain death.

Kidd made a quick decision, put on his straw hat, and went through the portal. When he opened his eyes again, he was on the border of Britannias, hundreds of kilometers away.

Beville glanced at him and immediately understood what was going on. He pursed his lips and said:

"Lucky guy."

Aside from Kid and Straw Hat, the others were also saved by him by opening a portal.

They were all badly injured and sat quietly to one side, gazing at Camelot in the distance.

The distant sky was dyed crimson, and the land within a hundred kilometers of Camelot was forcibly removed from the map.

Looking at the red lotus blooming on the earth, and the heat that still rushed towards them even hundreds of kilometers away, everyone couldn't help but feel awe!

"This is... the power of ancient weapons?!"

Redfield was deeply moved when he witnessed the ancient weapon erupt for the first time.

He finally understood why even someone as powerful as Shiki said that they needed to find the Ancient Weapons to fight against the World Government.

This is because such devastating power has surpassed the limits of human capability, and even someone as strong as Gawain could not withstand it.

"Pity."

Redfield couldn't help but shake his head, feeling a pang of regret for Gawain:

"I had originally prepared myself to submit to that man."

Throughout his nearly 100-year life, he encountered countless powerful figures, including legendary heroes such as Brox, Sora, and Roger.

But compared to Gao Wen, these people all seem mediocre.

Unfortunately, human strength is absolutely insufficient to resist such a natural disaster, and Gawain's journey was destined to end here.

With one arm severed and half of its wing torn off by Gawain, S-Dragon sat to one side, its eyes fixed on the distance, where a flame was burning!

"You...you really lost so easily?!"

"That's not necessarily the case."

Barrett sat quietly to one side, looking down at his palm.

A life card, half-burnt, lay in his palm, radiating a golden glow.

Barrett had never seen anything like this before, but he knew that the Vivre Card was still there, which meant that Gawain was not dead!

"The spontaneous combustion of the Life Card has stopped, which means that the crisis Gawain was facing has been resolved!"

Redfield was slightly taken aback, assuming that it was because Beville activated his ability in time that Gawain escaped this calamity.

But in the next instant, a deafening dragon roar came from the direction of Camelot in the distance!
