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

Chapter 465 The Roar of Avalon
Britannias.

Over the sky.

Technology Development Bureau.

Apart from Beville and Fujitora, who were in charge of border defense, all the core members of Gao Wen's group were gathered here.

All eyes were fixed on the behemoth located in the center of the Technology Development Bureau.

"An ancient weapon modeled after Pluto, although it does not have a Mother Flame with almost unlimited energy like the ancient weapon in the hands of the World Government."

"But it uses the vast ley line energy of Britannias, no, the ley line energy deep within Britannias and the surrounding seas as its energy source..."

Vegapunk's eyes held an unusual, almost obsessive look.

Originally, he was unwilling to see ancient weapons reappear in the sea, and even less willing to forge them himself.

Therefore, even when he switched allegiance to the World Government, he told the lie that with the technology of this era, it was absolutely impossible to reproduce ancient weapons.

If they knew that the World Government already possessed an ancient weapon, then the Mother Spark would never be a reality.

But now his thinking has changed.

Only force can forge peace!
The moment the ancient weapons in the hands of the World Government fired, the original balance and stability were completely shattered.

What is needed in this era is a force sufficient to check and balance world governments.

Compared to the powerful figures on this sea who are all vying for supremacy and aspiring to become the second Celestial Dragon, Gawain, who enshrined equality in the Constitution of Britannias, is undoubtedly a more trustworthy figure.

When Vegapunk's last bit of hesitation disappeared, the behemoth before him was born!
“What a spectacle!”

Redfield couldn't help but let out a sigh of admiration.

Even in his time, ancient weapons existed only in legends.

Even though he had glimpsed fragments in the translations of the historical text, the power of words was far less impactful than seeing it with his own eyes!

"The earth's energy flowing throughout the body is unsettling, even just a glance at it."

"The restless energy in the air was so intense, it made one's very soul tremble!"

Hawkeye stood to the side, instinctively reaching out to grip the knife on his shoulder.

That wasn't an impulse to act, but rather a strong person's most fundamental perception of crisis.

This thing...

No one can stop them!
No.

No one can stop him except for that monster, Gawain!

Not only Hawkeye, but everyone present had the same thought at that moment, and at that instant, they all turned to look at Gawain!
"captain!"

Franky's voice, much lower than usual, came from above Avalon.

With a metallic scraping sound, Franky's face appeared on the hull of Hades' ship.

With the power of the Gluttony Fruit, Franky has now completely merged with Pluton, becoming something akin to a central control system or artificial intelligence.

Although he can still transfer his consciousness to his physical body normally, according to him, he feels fine now and there is no need for it.

"It's about time we made our voices heard to the world!"

call--!
A sudden gust of wind swept across the sky, making the Avalon flag flutter wildly and bringing an indescribable chill.

Located above a sea of ​​clouds, tens of thousands of meters above the ground, the temperature here is frighteningly low.

At that moment, everyone's bodies began to heat up.

Within two years, Britannias was attacked by ancient weapons three times, resulting in incalculable losses.

Everyone had been holding back their anger for a long time, waiting for this moment to demand revenge from the World Government.

This was not only the first cry of Avalon, but also the beginning of Britannias' conquest of the world!
Gao Wen looked around and saw only the burning gazes of the crowd, and a smile involuntarily crept onto his lips.

Three years ago, when he first came into this world, he was almost all alone, but now he has so many companions behind him.

They already had things they absolutely had to do.

This feeling……

very good!

"Franky!"

"Fire!"

"Understood, Captain!"

Frankie's mechanical voice echoed over the Technology Development Bureau.

The next moment.

Pluto, which had been hovering above the Technology Development Bureau, began to slowly rise. The pale blue energy pipes that covered his body began to operate at high speed, and the ley line energy, which was compressed into liquid, converged towards the central cannon muzzle!
Gu——!
The vibration waves, with a frequency approaching the limit of human tolerance, began to spread outwards!

The dark clouds that had hung over Britannias dissipated like spring snow meeting the winter sun, and the Technology Development Bureau, hidden high above Britannias, was truly exposed to the world.

Do not!
This is not an exposure, but a sleeping monster opening its blood-red maw, ready to tear a piece of flesh from this planet.

"That is……"

"Knight Gawain actually chose a location high in the sky to create Hades?!"

Nearly 100 nautical miles away, naval forces are withdrawing in an orderly manner.

Akainu ultimately chose to believe the intelligence Drake sent back and ordered the Navy fleet to withdraw from the waters near Britannias.

At this moment, Akainu gripped the binoculars tightly, his breathing almost stopping.

I should have thought of that a long time ago!
After the destruction of the Neo navy, he switched allegiance to Britannias.

Since he was able to stabilize the out-of-control floating islands in Water Seven, he could naturally use his abilities to lift an island into the sky.

It's too late now.

Seeing the massive, pale blue energy pipes hovering above the floating island, Akainu's heart sank even further.

Whether it was the gradually oppressive air or the ever-brightening giant ship high in the sky, resembling a second sun, both foreshadowed the impending attack—how terrifying it would be!
"withdraw!"

"withdraw!"

"All troops, accelerate your retreat!"

Kizaru stood to the side, his mouth agape. For the first time, he saw a look of panic on Akainu's face.

This man, who was as strong as steel, was now somewhat helpless.

After a moment of distraction, Kizaru quickly turned around and relayed Akainu's orders.

In just a few breaths, hundreds of naval warships accelerated their retreat towards the outer reaches of Britannias!
Even a fool could sense that something was wrong at this moment. The pirates fled in all directions like madmen, but it was too late.

Avalon has completed its power-building process!

Crack! Crack! Crack!
The massive cannon barrel twisted, pointing straight into the sky, as if to tear the heavens apart!

Immediately, a violent torrent of energy poured out from the sky above Avalon, transforming into a tangible pillar of light that pierced through heaven and earth.

"That is……"

"WTF?!"

Katakuri raised his head and looked up at the sky, his entire face illuminated in that moment.

Not only him, but everyone present was stiff in expression and body.

Like a feline that has seen something beyond its wildest imagination, its fur standing on end and unable to move.

Belatedly realizing what was happening, Cracker looked up and followed the direction of everyone's gaze, then froze on the spot.

A single pale blue beam of light illuminated almost the entire ocean.

Such a magnificent and awe-inspiring spectacle instilled in those present only the deepest, most unforgettable, and most extreme fear.

They didn't know what it was.

But just over a month ago, they saw something similar over Britannias by projecting Den Den Mushi!

"Ancient weapons?!"

"The World Government has made another move?!" "They intend to destroy the entire Britannias using the most powerful means?!"

People instinctively made this judgment.

But just a moment later, Crocodile's voice came through the Den Den Mushi receiver in Katakuri's hand:

"Was I too slow?!"

"Hey."

"Don't die, Katakuri!"

beep--!
The moment the Den Den Mushi hung up, a beam of light suddenly exploded in the sky, spreading out in countless threads like fireworks, enveloping the entire sea area outside Britannias.

It's like a beautiful flower blooming in the sky above Britannias.

From Katakuri's perspective, all they could see was light—pale blue, fiery, and seemingly capable of swallowing everything.

Those present felt a chill run through their bodies. Even though they were on the outermost edge of the encirclement, and even though they were nearly a hundred kilometers away from Britannias' territorial waters, they still couldn't feel the slightest bit of security!
"withdraw!"

"withdraw!"

Katakuri's voice was hoarse.

The group then came to their senses and frantically steered their pirate ship, speeding off in a more distant direction.

Perospero stood on the deck and couldn't help but look back, where he saw a scene he would never forget!
A pale blue flower blooms in the sky above Britannias!

A burst of blue light shot into the sea, almost boiling the entire world.

As countless pirates were caught off guard and bewildered, they were struck by countless beams of light, and both men and their ships were instantly annihilated.

The beam of light continued its momentum, evaporating a large amount of seawater. Pirates who were nearby even saw the seabed melted into lava.

It was a scene resembling a living hell.

Only when they came to their senses did they realize how lucky they were; their lives were almost saved by Katakuri's caution!
……

Rewind to a few minutes ago.

As Avalon fired, a pale blue beam of light shot straight into the sky.

Even the lowest-ranking pirates, driven by their biological instinct for survival, made the move to flee at this moment.

"escape!"

"There are monsters in Britannias!"

"A monster that destroys everything!"

……

The warships surrounding Britannias instantly descended into chaos.

Exclamations, collisions, battles, struggles...

With the crisis of death looming, the world government's lunar ark seemed a distant dream compared to it, so they naturally knew what to choose.

After all, only by living to see tomorrow's sun can we talk about the future.

Pirate ships turned around rapidly and sped off into the distance.

"What the hell is this?!"

The older woman looked up and stared intently at the sunlight falling from the sky, feeling a chill run down her spine.

Once that thing comes into contact with you, even your own body will be instantly vaporized, with no chance of survival.

"Ancient weapons?!"

Jin the Wildfire stood to the side, his eyes wide with anger, but he felt only a sense of powerlessness.

The World Government has gathered pirates from all over the world, hoping to achieve a decisive victory and completely destroy Britannias' defenses.

Everyone thought this would be an unprecedented bloodbath, and that even someone as strong as Gawain or Britannias would be powerless to resist.

But reality slapped everyone in the face.

The man didn't utter a single word from beginning to end, and not a single soldier from Britannias showed up.

But once it made its move, it carried an unstoppable force, determined to eliminate all threats entrenched around Britannias...

Do not!
This is hardly a threat at all; at most, it's just a crawling insect blocking the way, which can be crushed with a simple reach.

"ember!"

"Stop standing there like an idiot, run!"

Quinn's anxious voice woke Jhin.

Without the slightest hesitation, Jin immediately decided to abandon the fleet.

He grabbed Quinn from beside him, spread his wings, leaped into the air, and sped across the sea at his fastest speed ever, heading towards the lines away from Britannias.

But all he could do was watch as the light approached him at an unimaginable speed...

"Damn it!!!"

"I haven't been able to avenge Brother Kaido yet!"

The next instant, Jhin, along with the fleet behind him, was engulfed by the Ember Ray.

At that very moment, everything near the territorial waters of Britannias was bathed in blue light.

The world was a vast expanse of white, except for…

Light!
Light!
A light that devours everything, annihilates everything, and is unstoppable!
The telephone receiver, responsible for transmitting the projected images to Mary Geoise in real time, was swept by a beam of light and instantly burned to ashes.
The five people in the conference room stared blankly at the projected image, their brains seemingly frozen in that instant!
What did I just see?! What was that thing?!

The question echoed in the minds of the five people. Although they found the answer in an instant, none of them dared to speak.

Simply because the answer was too terrifying.

So terrifying that they could crush all their plans in an extremely brutal and ruthless way.

The office fell into a deathly silence.

The five of them felt a chill run through their bodies, and their souls trembled.

"That thing is..."

Sacred Vochuli's voice was hoarse, and he could barely hold his cane. He tried several times before he could manage to speak:
"Hades?!"

"How could there be a Hades in Britannias?! How could there be a Hades?!"

"It took us hundreds of years to just solve the energy problem in order to restart that existing ancient weapon. It was only after Vegapunk, that monster, was born that we were finally able to complete it."

"How many years did it take Knight Gawain?!"

"Even counting from the moment he obtained the Hades blueprints, it's only been..."

Vocuri Saint's voice trembled, and he could no longer speak. Unprecedented fear and panic almost completely overwhelmed him.

Satan, who was standing to the side, did not speak, but tremblingly held up two fingers, and everyone understood what he meant.

Two years.

From the moment Gawain obtained the blueprints for Hades to the moment Hades unleashed its first earth-shattering roar, it only took a little over two years.

Faced with this number, their centuries of effort seem like a joke.

"Britannias possesses ancient weapons, and coupled with that monster's near-invincible strength, even Lord Im might..."

"what should we do?"

The feeling of confusion, after hundreds of years, has resurfaced in people's hearts once again, like a demon that cannot be shaken off.

They were tense and panicked as they watched the projected image!

A few breaths later, an unfamiliar figure pushed open the door to Mary Geoise.

"Hahahaha—!"

“Sashiberdana stands at the pinnacle of world power, no, he is one of the Five Elders, second only to the Emperor!”
