Pirates: Usurping a Kingdom Is Surprisingly Easy

The Exiled Emperor, Kael, rose directly into the air from the sea, not even entering the port. Large amounts of seawater flowed down from his form. This caused the Baroque Works members hidden among the Rebel Army to widen their eyes in shock. This was completely different from their planned situation.

"Wait for me in the nearby waters."

Kael commanded the Royal Guard and Clone Soldiers on the snail warship and the White Iron King. Of course, the East Blue Marines on the Marine warship also heard the order.

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

After receiving the order, the snail warship led the Marine warship to retreat and move away from the shore. The White Iron King, a submersible warship, began to transform and submerge into the sea, guarding the two ships on the surface as they moved away from the coast.

"Not good! They're getting away, open fire quickly!"

Mr. 3 Galdino, hidden inside a candle mountain sculpture, held a Den Den Mushi and loudly ordered the Billions under his command. Just thinking about the order Mr. 0 had given, drops of cold sweat appeared on Mr. 3's forehead. They couldn't let the Goa Empire's people pass.

The Billions and Millions hidden among the Rebel Army received the order and incited countless Rebel Army members to open fire. Meanwhile, Miss Doublefinger Paula had already reported the situation in real time to the Vice President, Miss All Sunday Nico Robin. The difficulty of this enemy far exceeded all their previous missions. The hundreds of thousands of Rebel Army members they were leading seemed to have no effect at all.

"It's over, they can fly."

Miss Valentine, Mikita, floated above the ground with an umbrella, a hint of fear in her eyes, not daring to show her face. After all, the fearsome reputation of the Exiled Emperor and the two Marquises of the Empire had already spread throughout the seas.

Hearing the names Exiled Emperor, Piercing Marquis, and Heavenfall Marquis was enough to know how powerful the important figures on that flying ship were. Even the North Blue Overlord and the Twin Heroes of the West Blue couldn't defeat the Goa Empire.

The boss, who appeared and disappeared like a dragon, actually wanted these weaklings to stop such formidable individuals. Wasn't this making things difficult for them? Mikita had joined the Baroque Works criminal organization simply because she wanted to earn some Berries to open a dessert shop. She wasn't willing to fight to the death for Baroque Works.

"The newspaper said that the Heavenfall Marquis, one of the two Marquises of the Empire, can summon meteors. Is that true?"

Miss Goldenweek Marianne, carrying a drawing board, her small face filled with terror. Originally, their mission was to control the Rebel Army members to block Kael. But now that Kael was in the sky, how could they execute the mission?

"Miss Valentine, you can fly, why don't you go up and stop them?"

Mr. 2 Bon Kurei, spinning in a ballet, suddenly spoke to the floating Mikita, his eyes full of trust and expectation.

"Stop your sister, you pervert!"

"My bounty is only 7,500,000 Berries! Do you think I don't read the news reports? Even West Blue pirates with bounties over 500,000,000 Berries were killed by the Piercing Marquis and Heavenfall Marquis."

"If you want to die, go by yourself, don't call me!"

Miss Valentine, Mikita, directly kicked Mr. 2 in a fit of rage, wishing she could kill the pervert. Didn't he see how serious Mr. 1 Daz Bones, who hailed from the West Blue, looked? Daz Bones, the West Blue's most dangerous assassin with a bounty of 75,000,000 Berries, was the strongest chief agent in Baroque Works. He understood the immense power of the Twin Heroes of the West Blue best. He couldn't even defeat a vice-commander of the Eight-Treasure Marine Corps, let alone the two Marquises of the Empire, who suppressed the Twin Heroes of the West Blue.

"It seems this mission is going to fail."

Mr. 5, the Bomb Man, picked his nose, muttering expressionlessly. His booger bombs couldn't reach that high. Otherwise, he would have wanted to use them to blow down the flying warship.

Amidst the arguments of these chief agents, the hundreds of thousands of Rebel Army members, guided by the executive agents, Billions, and Millions, brazenly opened fire on the flying ship in the sky. Countless bullets and cannonballs engulfed the Exiled Emperor.

"Very good, they fired first."

"The Goa Empire will retain the right to launch a legitimate war against Alabasta."

Kael smiled faintly, not caring about the artillery fire at all. Instead, he was activating his Observation Haki, trying to find some little mice. But with hundreds of thousands of chaotic and disorganized Rebel Army members, it was impossible to precisely locate the hidden Baroque Works cadres.

"Gravity Wave!"

Issho struck again, and an invisible gravitational field blocked countless bullets and cannonballs in mid-air, causing them all to fall back down.

"How dare they attack us? I really want to drain them dry."

Aramaki sat on the railing, looking down at the ants below, truly wanting to take action.

"They are all foolish civilians who have been deceived."

Capone Bege bit his cigar, expressionlessly watching the tattered, poorly armed Rebel Army members.

"Let's go, Issho."

Kael did not unleash his Haoshoku Haki to stun these Rebel Army members. He still wanted to lead them to assault Crocodile's Rainbase. He wanted to let that Crocodile taste what it felt like to shoot himself in the foot.

"Understood."

Issho also didn't want to make things difficult for these poor rioters. He directly controlled the anti-gravity warship and floated away in the direction Nami indicated.

As the Exiled Emperor departed, the Baroque Works cadres hidden among the Rebel Army panicked.

"That direction doesn't seem to be Alubarna."

"Are they going to Rainbase?"

Mr. 3's face changed drastically, and he immediately had Miss Doublefinger report the situation to the Vice President.

Nico Robin, far away at the Rain Dinners Casino, received the latest report. She realized that Crocodile's 'brilliant plan' had completely failed. She could only order all chief agents to quickly head to Rainbase. And she immediately rushed into Crocodile's office to report the situation.

After listening to the report, Crocodile fell silent. He hadn't expected his carefully arranged 'sure-win killing move' to be broken by a flying warship. The Rebel Army couldn't stop Kael.

Kael didn't even slaughter these rioters. The plan to create a rift between Cobra and Kael had failed. Moreover, Kael's target seemed to be him, not Cobra at all. Realizing all this, Crocodile's face became incredibly grim.

Just as he was considering how to deal with Kael, a call from the World Government came to his hand. After finishing the call, Crocodile's face turned even paler. The secret of his investigation into Pluton's information had been exposed.

The World Government was warning him to immediately stop his attempts to find the Pluton warship. If Crocodile wanted to keep his Warlord of the Sea status, he had to leave Alabasta immediately and find another territory. Otherwise, the World Government would strip him of his Warlord of the Sea status.

"Damn it! Who is it?!"

Crocodile stared intently at Nico Robin. He knew that the secret of his search for Pluton's information was known only to Nico Robin; even other Baroque Works cadres were completely unaware. Why was he exposed now? Were the World Government's CP agents truly omnipresent? There must be a spy in his territory.
