The Witcher: The Journey to Transcendence from Marvel.

Chapter 367 Follow-up
But now, Mary Geoise, the core of the World Government, no longer exists. The supreme authority seems to have collapsed overnight. They are like a ship that has lost its direction, drifting on the vast ocean, with no idea where to go.

Even those lieutenant generals who were usually in command and experienced were now in deep confusion.

They frowned, thinking about how to deal with the situation, but they couldn't find a clue for a while. They could only look at the panicked soldiers around them, feeling anxious but helpless.

Only Akainu was unexpectedly relieved in this chaotic and confusing atmosphere.

Although he has always occupied an important position in the navy with his tough methods and powerful strength, the ubiquitous power constraints of the World Government are like invisible chains that tightly bind him, making it impossible for him to make many decisions and take many actions completely according to his own wishes.

But now, with the destruction of Mary Geoise, the forces that restrained him seemed to disappear all at once. He felt the chains on his body loosen, and he could finally let go and do whatever he wanted.

Akainu quickly adjusted his state and issued a series of orders in succession. His loud and majestic voice echoed in the Marine Headquarters, gradually bringing the thoughts of those confused Marines back to their senses.

"We are the navy. Our duty is to uphold justice and deal with pirates!" Akainu emphasized loudly, trying to make the navy regain their sense of mission. "No matter how the world changes, as long as pirates are still causing trouble, we must fulfill our mission and maintain order in this sea!"

Under his command, the navy began to calm down gradually, reorganized, and prepared to deal with various situations that might arise next. Although the road ahead was still full of uncertainty, at least at this moment, they had a clear direction, which was to continue to perform the duties of the navy and compete with the pirates.

A few days later, the whole world had fallen into an increasingly chaotic situation, just like a calm sea suddenly turned into a huge wave, and the wave became more and more turbulent, as if it was about to swallow up everything.

Originally, the civilians were filled with joy and thought that with the fall of the World Government, they would no longer have to pay the extremely heavy "Heavenly Gold", and their future lives would definitely be better. They would finally be able to get rid of the heavy shackles that had lasted for 800 years and live a stable and prosperous life.

However, they never imagined that a war that swept the world broke out without warning. The flames of war quickly spread to every corner of the world. No country could stay out of it. It seemed as if the whole world was dragged into an endless dark abyss.

In this brutal war, those ambitious and greedy forces, in order to compete for supreme power, attempted to become the new "Celestial Dragons" and control the entire world, completely disregarding the lives of civilians.

They sent out their armies, which rushed into towns and villages like a swarm of locusts, plundering the civilians' property and looting all the wealth that the people had accumulated over their lifetime.

Not only that, they also forcibly escorted civilians to the battlefield, using these innocent people as cannon fodder in the war, forcing them to charge into battle and pay for the ambitions of those powerful people to fight for power and profit.

For the sake of their own interests, countries began to attack each other as a unit. Smoke of gunpowder filled every piece of land. The once peaceful and harmonious homes turned into ruins. The streets and alleys were filled with crying and fighting. Countless people were displaced, their families were broken up, and the whole world seemed to have turned into a purgatory on earth.

However, amidst this chaos and war, a new world order was slowly taking shape.

In order to survive and develop in this turbulent situation, some kingdoms with common interests and demands chose to unite and form a confederation.

Through negotiation and cooperation, they attempted to pool resources, jointly respond to various crises, safeguard their own rights, and establish a relatively stable order in this chaotic world. Meanwhile, the revolutionary army, upholding the ideal of overthrowing corrupt rule and establishing a new order of fairness and freedom, actively took action in various places, successfully overthrowing many old royal families and establishing new governments.

These new governments are committed to protecting the rights and interests of the people, enabling them to truly be masters of their own destiny, and working hard to rebuild their homes on the ruins, bringing new hope to those suffering from war.

At the same time, the situation on the sea also underwent major changes.

Faced with the navy's increasingly frantic attacks in this chaotic world, the pirates who had been fighting on their own realized that it would be difficult for them to gain a foothold in this turbulent situation on their own, so they put aside their past grudges and united to form a pirate alliance.

These pirates gathered together, relying on their own powerful strength and unique abilities to jointly deal with the navy's encirclement and suppression, continuing to write their own legends on the rough sea, and making the already complicated world situation even more unpredictable. Under this new pattern, the whole world is struggling to move forward in an unknown direction.

In this turbulent and chaotic world where various forces are fighting for power, there is one thing that everyone agrees on surprisingly, that is, everyone has wisely chosen not to provoke Weiss.

After all, the tragic scene of Mary Joa being razed to the ground in an instant by the energy ball is still vivid in people's minds. No one wants the nest they have painstakingly built to be completely destroyed by an energy ball casually released by Wes one day, and end up reduced to ashes.

Therefore, even those ambitious forces that want to dominate the world can only choose to stay away from Weiss and dare not make any rash moves.

At this time, Drosrosa, located on the Grand Route, became a land of hope in the eyes of many refugees. Countless displaced people flocked there, hoping to seek refuge in this land.

These refugees each have different reasons and experiences.

Some people have heard of Vegapunk's prophecy and know that the world may be submerged by the sea in the near future. In this chaotic time when the world order is collapsing, they think that Drosrosa may be one of the few relatively safe places, so they rush here with their families, hoping to find a place to stay before the end of the world.

And some people simply leave because they can't survive outside.

Their hometowns had long been reduced to ruins in the flames of war, their loved ones had either died in the fighting or been forcibly abducted, and their own property had been looted. They could only wander around in this devastated world, suffering from hunger, disease and fear.

When they heard that Drosrosa was willing to accept refugees, they set out on the journey there without hesitation. This was their hope of continuing to survive.

Weiss accepted all the refugees who flocked to him.

The world he created is currently too desolate and requires a large amount of manpower to build and fill it.
