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

Chapter 467 The Prelude to the Sky City Era!

A long silence fell over everyone on the deck.

At that moment, the Den Den Mushi in Akainu's arms rang.

Blu-bloom—!
The urgent ringing of the bell, like a vengeful ghost, tormented the hearts of everyone present.

At a time like this, who else but the Five Elders, sitting in Mary Geoise and remotely controlling this war, would call the Fleet Admiral?

Everyone present knew that the order given by the Five Elders was definitely not to retreat!

After counting the breaths.

Akainu took a deep breath and answered the phone with difficulty.

"Sakaski!"

Satan appeared calm, but his voice, tinged with madness and fear, came through the Den Den Mushi receiver, revealing his unease to anyone.

It was an indescribable fear of Britannias, of Gawain, and of the one who sat on the Void Throne.

"March!"

"Charge into Britannias!"

Akainu's breath hitched slightly, and his brain momentarily went blank.

The image of ancient weapons annihilating all enemies on the border of Britannias was still vivid in his mind, and the sense of insignificance and powerlessness of man in the face of natural disasters still lingered in his heart.

"Do not make jokes!"

Akainu's gums bled from biting so hard:

"Britannias has acquired an ancient weapon, making them virtually invincible. Faced with such a destructive weapon, the navy's strength is nothing more than a cold string of numbers!"

"Just one more shot, and everything will be completely wiped out!"

"us……"

"That's why this war must be waged on the homeland of Britannias!"

Satan's voice, like the whisper of a demon, sent a chill down the spines of the assembled naval high command.

They naturally understood what Satan meant.

If this battle had taken place on Britannias' home soil, the knight Gawain, fearing the consequences, would very likely have refrained from using the ancient weapons.

But as the navy, as the side of justice, how did we ever stoop to relying on the lives of civilians to force our opponents to abandon their weapons...?

Those present felt a burning pain on their faces.

Justice has been almost shattered.

"Do not make jokes!"

"asshole!"

Akainu couldn't contain his temper and, disregarding any sense of hierarchy, blurted out a string of profanities.

He doesn't want to be a marshal for even a day longer!

This time, neither Sengoku nor Tsuru took the initiative to correct Akainu.

The word "justice" printed on their coats seemed to carry a tremendous weight at that moment, making it hard for them to breathe!
Satan's voice, at this moment, gradually calmed down:
"You should know."

"Only the lunar ark is humanity's only salvation!"

"With Britannias, with that man's power, it's highly likely he'll intervene and stop us. That would mean the extinction of humanity!"

"This is not a war for justice, it is a war for the continuation of our race!"

"Sakaski!"

"Is this all the magnanimity you possess?!"

"Forget your nonsensical sense of justice, and now, immediately, march on Britannias!"

"As for Knight Gawain..."

"That person will personally take action!"

beep--!
The phone hangs up.

Akainu stood at the bow of the ship, silent for a long time.

For the first time since eating the magma fruit, I felt the chill of the sea breeze—a chill that seeped into my very bones.

He turned to look at Britannias in the distance, gazing at the continent at the end of the vast sea.

The humiliation almost set him ablaze, but the last vestiges of reason within him led him to make the most correct judgment at that moment!
Moon landing!

The world government's lunar ark is the only way to survive!
The last hope for the continuation of humanity!
Can……

But how many more people will lose their lives in this next war?

How many of the marines on these warships will be able to board the World Government's escape ships?!

That number was so cold that even Akainu didn't want to look at it directly.

"Sakaski!"

When the voice of the Warring States came, the wrinkles on his face seemed to deepen in an instant, and his whole body exuded an aura of decay and impending death.

Those eyes were bloodshot, yet their unwavering determination was terrifying!
We must do the right thing!

"I'm so damn right!"

Akainu completely erupts:

"If being right means sending my soldiers to their deaths for those pig-like monsters, then I'd rather see the world destroyed!"

"Even if T-Bone were still alive, he would absolutely not want to see such a world exist!"

Mentioning the name T-Bone, Akainu's eyes became bloodshot, and a hint of ferocity appeared in his gaze as he looked at Britannias.
"If we were to attempt to seize the World Government's lunar ark, what are our chances of success?!"

"At least……"

"At least in the end, shouldn't those pigs be the only ones who have a chance to survive?"

call--!
The sea breeze surged, and a biting chill pierced everyone's skin.

Zhan Guo opened his lips, unsure how to refute.

Tsuru stared wide-eyed at Akainu, speechless as well.

"Have the guts!"

Garp smiled at Akainu, a rare sight for him, and his violent Haki surged around him, causing thunder to rumble in the void!
Aokiji, Kizaru, and Green Bull felt a jolt of electricity coursing through their bodies, all because of this road...

It's feasible!
Aokiji thought of something deeper, and a smile involuntarily appeared on his lips:
"If the navy alone is not enough, then..."

He turned to look at Britannias and said:
"And what about the power of that monster? Even the World Government, even that person standing on top of the world, would definitely not be able to stand firm, right?!"

Everyone present felt their hearts skip a beat.

Even the Warring States period, which had always been conservative and rational, became excited at this moment.

Just as he was about to speak, the warship beneath his feet shook violently, and even the strong men on the deck almost lost their footing!

"what happened?!"

"The aftermath of ancient weapons?!"

"No!"

"No, it's Britannias itself that has seen new changes!"

……

World Government, Mary Geoise.

The battle outside Pangu City ended at an unimaginable speed.

Rayleigh and his companions, who joined forces to storm Mary Geoise in an attempt to rescue Jabba's wife and children, once again faced Im, who had appeared in God Valley more than thirty years ago.

In just one encounter, the power to forcibly control Lox completely transformed them, turning them into members of the demon army.

This farce ended before it even began.

Im stood quietly in the center of Mary Geoise. Blackbeard and Shiryu of the Rain stood on either side of him, like knights guarding a god-king. Garin and Shamrock, leading their knightly order, stood beside him, together protecting the King of the Void!

Rayleigh, Jabba, and Shanks, all under the control of the Dark Lord, stood behind Im, their faces contorted in rage, their auras surging so powerfully that even the Five Elders felt fear.

These demonic giants, averaging over fifty meters tall, with extremely robust physiques and exuding an aura of primordial beasts, densely packed together and almost completely filled the entire Mary Geoise.

In just over a month, the fighting force that Im had gathered was enough to launch another war against Joy Boy.

"Please punish me, Lord Im!"

The Five Elders groveled before Im, as lowly as the ants they had once despised, serving Im with the utmost flattery, for this was their only way to survive.

Im's gaze swept over the two of them, then turned to the distance, towards Britannias, his tone laced with barely concealed covetousness:
"I never imagined that the crawler I let go back then would grow to this extent. But isn't this also a pleasant surprise?!"

"I never imagined he could create a perfect body, large enough to house 'me'."

Blackbeard glanced at Im unconsciously, still feeling shocked.

Standing at the pinnacle of world power, having defeated Joy Boy eight hundred years ago, the existence of a government-centric world is astounding...

It's a woman?!

Im made no reaction to Blackbeard's spying, merely brushing his blue hair aside before glancing at the Five Elders with a detached, emotionless tone:
"Next comes the final battle to leave this planet. Whether you can board the ark to the moon depends on your performance in this battle."

"in addition……"

Blu-bloom—!
The urgent ringing of the phone interrupted Im's words. After he slowly answered it, the CP0 members from the front lines of the war spoke through the receiver with a ghostly voice.

"Britannias, Britannias..."

"It's flying!"

……

……

……

a few minutes ago.

Britannias.

After Avalon opened fire, although everyone was shocked by its exaggerated power to end a war directly, they did not linger for long.

Because something even more important, important enough to determine everyone's fate, is about to happen!

"Now... is the moment of revelation!"

Vegapunk turned to look at Gawain.

Even now, Vegapunk is still shocked by this man's crazy ideas.

With his own strength, he lifted the entire country into the sky, and with his own strength, he created the era of Sky City.

Whether humanity can survive the impending destruction depends on what comes next.

Although Gawain's power has reached a level that is unprecedented and unparalleled, and he has even personally weighed the weight of the continent beneath his feet.

But at this moment, those present were somewhat uncertain about whether he could actually lift a country into the sky.

After all, this is a major event concerning their future and the fate of humanity on this planet.

call--!
The air currents high in the sky ruffled Gawain's blond hair as he gazed calmly at the continent below and asked:

"Kroo, have all the civilians moved into the shelters already?!"

"Are you sure nothing was missed?!"

"What happens next can be described as a natural disaster on the scale of planetary plate detachment, which will trigger countless secondary disasters."

"With an ordinary person's body, one careless mistake could lead to death."

Kro nodded, his expression solemn:

"No."

"Residents of hundreds of towns in Britannias have been evacuated."

"it is good!"

Gao Wen responded and then, without further hesitation, leaped from the Technology Development Bureau, landing like a meteor on the ground below.

hiss--!
Gao Wen took a deep breath, slowly bent down, and placed his palms on the ground beneath his feet!
Countless pale blue ley line energies surged from beneath the sea near the Britannias border, hurtling rapidly toward Gawain's location.

In just a few breaths, dense ley line energy enveloped Gawain, providing him with almost limitless power. Then, the area covered by the Float Fruit began to expand at a visible speed.

One kilometer, ten kilometers, three hundred kilometers, one thousand kilometers...

It wasn't until Gawain had control over an area nearly a thousand kilometers in diameter, centered on Britannias, that he truly exerted his power, making this continent, this country...

Rise into the sky!

boom!
boom!
boom!
A constant roaring sound could be heard from beneath the surface of the nearshore waters.

Large amounts of silt deposited on the seabed surfaced due to the eruption of underwater volcanoes.

Countless fissures, some hundreds or even thousands of meters wide, spread out along the coast of Britannias.

The seawater receded in circles, and within a few breaths, it surged against the waves, creating a tsunami that reached a height of a thousand meters, crashing down on everything in the ocean.

Everyone who observed this was stunned at that moment.

This commotion was even more intense than the one caused by the ancient weapon earlier, many times more intense.

"Britannias...what on earth is going on?!"

"Hey Hey hey!"

"I have never seen the ocean like this!"

"The volcano is erupting, the trench is being torn apart, as if someone is forcibly tearing the continent of Britannias off this planet!"

"In the end what happened?!"

……

On a beach on the edge of Britannias.

The elderly woman, who had narrowly escaped death, was awakened by the commotion. She opened her eyes and looked around blankly, only to see the vast sea receding in the distance!
"Mother?!"

The woman was momentarily stunned, then felt strong tremors coming from the ground beneath her feet.

Her pupils suddenly contracted, and she realized something.

It wasn't that the seawater was receding, but that the ground beneath our feet was constantly rising!

Suddenly.

The older woman felt a strange sense of familiarity; she had felt this way before.
But that was more than thirty years ago, when we were on the ship Lockheed.

The Golden Lion once did something similar, raising an island into the sky.

"Shiki?!"

"No, that guy is already dead, and even if he worked himself to death, he couldn't have done something like this!"

"Then this is..."

The woman struggled to her feet, turned around and looked into the distance. All she could see was everything in sight on the land of Britannias rising higher and higher!

Even the clouds in the sky are getting closer and closer!
"Hey hey hey...no way?!"

The old woman's mouth was agape, and her pupils suddenly shrank to the size of pinpoints!

An outrageous, mythical guess popped into her mind:
Someone is forcibly lifting this continent into the sky!

The successor to Shiki's abilities?!

Do not make jokes!
Even a monster like Shiki couldn't do something like that!
and many more……

This is? !
The blue, ethereal energy emanating from the earth's veins caught the old woman's attention; she had seen this stuff before!
"Knight Gawain ate Shiki's Float-Float Fruit and is going to lift a continent into the sky?!"

"Do not make jokes!"
