One Piece: Trainers on the Straw Hat Pirates

The colossal kingdom fell in the blink of an eye.

After all, none of the twenty kings who dared to stand up and challenge the Lunaria race were weaklings.

When Joey Boy realized what was happening and tried to do something...

It's all too late!

Chapter 536 Im's Ambition

The armies of the twenty royal families swiftly breached the defenses of the Great Kingdom, destroying its various facilities and defensive deployments.

Upon learning this news, Joy Boy had no choice but to halt the migration plan to Fishman Island and rush back to the Great Kingdom to confront the Twenty Kings.

He really wanted to ask them why they did that.

However, the Twentieth King, whose mission was already imminent, had absolutely no intention of communicating with Joy Boy.

They are only interested in destruction and occupation, easily destroying the hard-won peace of the future.

Enraged by the failure of the peace talks, Joy Boy rallied the armies of the Great Kingdom and his allies to launch a counterattack against the army of the Twenty Kings.

The world is plunged into chaos once again by the arrival of war, and with the sea levels rising, people are being swallowed up by death every moment as they plead and pray.

Gunfire, smoke, slaughter, and wailing became the dominant theme of the world.

The brutality of this battle far surpassed even the previous battles between Joy Boy and his companions and the Lunaria.

Large numbers of soldiers died on the battlefield, and the people, who had just experienced a massive tsunami and were still recovering, were displaced.

The war lasted for several years.

Ultimately, with the help of the three great weapons, Hades, Uranus, and Poseidon, and with Joy Boy's own Nika power, the vast kingdom that the Twenty Kings had painstakingly conquered was once again reclaimed by Joy Boy.

However, the once-prosperous kingdom was now a shadow of its former self, littered with the wreckage and flames of war, and its people were displaced.

Looking at the vast kingdom in ruins, Joy Boy was heartbroken but helpless.

Still puzzled, he once again requested peace talks from the Twenty Kings.

According to Joy Boy, war is the most undesirable thing in the world.

He wanted to find out why the Twenty Kings had started another war.

This time, the Twenty Kings, having been subdued by Joy Boy, agreed to Joy Boy's request and sent two of the more prestigious Kings as their representatives to the talks.

One of these two was Narona Im, who naturally inherited his ancestors' ambitions.

The other is Queen Neferutari Lily from the desert kingdom.

Of these two, Im is the strongest among the twenty royal families, second only to Joy Boy in strength, while Lily enjoys extremely high popularity among the people, and even among the twenty royal families, many are captivated by her charm.

This charm doesn't refer to Lily's beauty, but rather to the aura she possesses as a queen.

However, Im was inherently suspicious and did not dare to enter Joy Boy's vast kingdom. Instead, he arranged to meet Joy Boy on a deserted island.

After some discussion, Joy Boy finally understood why his former ally had suddenly turned against him.

In order to bring true peace to the world, Joy Boy made a decision that neither Im nor Lily could understand...

He was willing to abdicate and relinquish the throne to a more capable ruler, allowing the Twenty Kings to become the de facto rulers of the vast kingdom!

Joy Boy's magnanimity and generosity shocked Im and Lily.

The power of the vast kingdom is terrifying.

It can be said that ruling a vast kingdom grants the potential to rule the world.

However, the fact that Joy Boy could remain so calm in the face of such overwhelming power made even Queen Lily's eyes flutter when she looked at him.

She once thought Joy Boy was just a man with great power, but this time, even she, a queen known for her benevolent spirit, was moved by Joy Boy's decision.

Only Im, after the initial shock, felt a nameless rage burning within him!

Why! ?

Why is it that you can just throw away and discard something that your ancestors worked so hard to even have a chance to touch?

In that case, wouldn't their Narona clan's forbearance become a joke?

The meeting concluded, and both sides returned to their respective camps.

When the Twentieth King learned of Joy Boy's decision, he was naturally overjoyed.

After announcing the results of the meeting, the two participants fell into deep thought in their respective royal courts.

Joy Boy's nonchalant attitude was nothing short of a slap in the face to the narrow-minded Im.

This also unconsciously fueled Im's hatred for Joy Boy.

Upon his return, however, his mind was no longer focused on how to rule the vast kingdom with the Twenty Kings, but rather on finding a reason to kill Joy Boy.

Meanwhile, Queen Lily of the desert kingdom also fell into deep thought after returning to her kingdom.

No one knows that the Nefertari are not actually a pure-blooded human race.

They are actually the bloodline of the Half-Moon Clan, whom everyone in the world today condemns!

It is only because they descended from the Red Line to the earth too long ago, and because the ancestors of the Nefertari intended to create a kingdom where everyone could live in peace, that they voluntarily abandoned the inheritance of the Moon Bloodline.

This is something only the kings of the Nefertari lineage can know.

Lily only learned of these things from her family records after she ascended the throne as queen.

She originally intended to bury this matter deep in her heart forever, like her ancestors, until the Half Moon bloodline was forgotten by everyone.

Her purpose in joining the Twenty Kings was to overthrow the oppressive rule of the Lunaria race, which might have been her ancestors, and to restore peace and order to all humanity.

Later, upon learning that the land was being swallowed by the sea, she became anxious and joined the army of twenty royal families to attack the Great Kingdom, hoping to bring her people to the Red Earth Continent.

But after seeing Joy Boy's carefree attitude, Lily couldn't help but start to reflect on herself.

Was everything I did really right?

Will Joy Boy really become the next dictator of the world with his unparalleled power, just as Im said?

Will all land really be swallowed by the sea, leaving no space for human habitation on Earth?

One question after another kept popping into Lily's mind, yet she couldn't find the answers at all.

Perhaps she felt that these questions could only be answered when she met Joey Boy again.

Meanwhile, Joy Boy, after returning to the Great Kingdom, also fell into deep thought.

Sea levels have been rising steadily for years, and the world is about to be swallowed by the ocean!

Damn it!

In recent years, he has been either governing the vast kingdom on the Red Earth Continent or discussing the relocation of the Dragon Palace Kingdom with the mermaid princess in the deep sea...

So much so that he never even noticed the rising sea levels.

In other words, one day in the future, the world will be completely submerged by the sea, and humanity will lose its living space!?

Upon hearing the news, Joy Boy felt his head was heavy and his mind was in a daze.

Compared to the lives of all people in the world, the position of the ruler of a mere vast kingdom meant nothing to him.

So after the meeting, Joy Boy began to think about how to save the world.

First of all...

He wanted to help people around the world adapt to life on the sea, and to make those accustomed to life on land more familiar with the sea.

Only when people become familiar with the ocean will there be a greater chance of survival for more people!

So in the end, Joy Boy decided to tell the world a big lie.

He first sought out his friend, the then-chief of the Kozuki clan, and asked them to use the Kozuki clan's unique technology to carve four historical texts for him.

The location that these four road signs ultimately point to is none other than a fantastical place he unexpectedly discovered during his previous adventure!

At the time, he just found the formation of this place so interesting, and never thought that one day it would come in such great use!

that's it……

The legendary island, said to hold endless treasures and later luring countless people to set sail and enter the sea, was thus born!

As it turned out, Joy Boy's plan was a great success!

It was the emergence of news about such a mysterious island that inspired countless people to venture into the sea.

This has led the world, which was originally more inclined towards land-based technology, to shift its focus to the sea.

Soon after, technologies such as the compass, shipbuilding, and navigation emerged on this planet.

This also makes the once mysterious and terrifying ocean seem less dangerous to people around the world.

However, this approach, which only addresses the symptoms and not the root cause, was naturally not Joy Boy's only plan.

After spreading the news of the final island using the energy of the Great Kingdom, Joy Boy asked the Kozuki Clan to continue creating stone tablets for them to record historical documents.

Firstly, during the previous battles, Joy Boy discovered that the few seeds of civilization that people had painstakingly cultivated were almost completely wiped out again due to the outbreak of war.

Therefore, in order to ensure the better continuation of civilization, Joy Boy thought of the powerful recording technology of the Kozuki clan.

Secondly, Joy Boy also hoped to use these historical events to warn future generations and prevent them from repeating their mistakes, thus bringing war back to the world.

It can be said that Joy Boy was a simple idealist from beginning to end.

He no longer wanted to see war, so he was able to hand over his power to the Twentieth King without the slightest hesitation.

In order to prevent the Twenty Kings from remaining wary, Joy Boy planned to seal away all the powerful forces, including himself.

The first to be targeted was the Hades warship, which he used as a transport ship but actually possessed immense power.

Using his connection with the Kozuki family, Joy Boy secretly used Nika's power to open a gap in Wano Country, which was not yet as large as it had been submerged by the sea, and then hid Hades inside.

Then he asked the Kozuki clan, who also had the blood of the half-moon, for help. Using the energy of the sun crystal, they sent the "Uranus," which he had also used as a flying transport ship, into the real universe.

At this point, apart from the mermaid princess who holds the title of "Sea King," he has sealed away all the power he displayed in the previous battle against the twenty royal families, making it difficult for him to reappear in the world.

Finally, he had the Kozuki clan write an apology letter to the mermaid princess on his behalf.

At this point, although Joy Boy still had at least a hundred years left to live, he had become desolate after experiencing so much.

What Joy Boy didn't expect was...
