Pirates: Usurping a Kingdom Is Surprisingly Easy

Ryokugyu's vines spread across the sky, while Fujitora's sword slashes and Spartan's punching shockwaves all targeted the fleeing Dragon. The Goa citizens and various intelligence personnel who had gathered only heard the threats Dragon left for Kael and witnessed the fierce attacks of the Three Marquises.

No one expected that it was the legendary leader of the Revolutionary Army fighting against the powerhouses of the Goa Empire. Urgent messages were sent back by various intelligence personnel.

(The leader of the Revolutionary Army and One Emperor, Three Marquises fought a great battle, with Dragon ultimately being defeated and fleeing.)

Seeing Dragon leave, Kuma also prepared to depart, no longer needing to continue his probing mission. He had roughly ascertained the strength of the One Emperor, Three Marquises. Although he hadn't directly confronted Kael, observing Kael's battle with Dragon allowed him to make a certain judgment.

He planned to return and report the mission directly. After all, World Government missions were usually straightforward enough. Then, Kuma would go to Egghead Island to pick up Bonney and return to the Sorbet Kingdom to recuperate. It should be noted that other Warlords of the Sea, apart from mandatory conscription, didn't pay much attention to other World Government missions.

"If you leave like this, after your memory is erased, Bonney's future will be very miserable. Come find me tomorrow."

Kael quickly spoke to Kuma, disregarding whether Kuma believed him, and immediately rode the Kirin Lion, flying into the sky. Kael didn't want others to see his scarred and miserable state, so as not to affect his image as the East Blue Overlord.

"No one can be presumptuous in the Goa Empire! Goa Empire, invincible!"

Kael shouted from atop the Kirin Lion, then quickly flew back, leaving only a magnificent silhouette. He had already tasked Ryokugyu, Fujitora, and Spartan with handling the aftermath. Kuma looked at Kael's departing figure, his expression subtly changing. He paused in silence before instantly vanishing from his spot.

Soon, under the boasting of Ryokugyu, coupled with the exaggerated ruins of the battlefield surrounding them, the news of Kael's solo battle against the Revolutionary Army leader quickly spread.

"Ah haha, I knew His Majesty was invincible. What Revolutionary Army leader? They're all just chickens and dogs! Long live His Majesty!"

Bartolomeo, his number one fan, cheered wildly, his mind filled with the imposing silhouette of Kael as he left. It turned out His Majesty alone drove away the Revolutionary Army leader; the Three Marquises didn't even make a move. Capone Bege, Laffitte, and others were also filled with shock, and Kael's image in their minds grew increasingly grand.

And those intelligence personnel didn't expect that this Goa Emperor could actually duel the world's most heinous criminal. Is this true? Are you sure it wasn't the One Emperor, Three Marquises ganging up on the Revolutionary Army leader, then attributing the credit to Kael? Ryokugyu's boasting made many intelligence personnel feel that this news was a bit fake.

After all, that was the Revolutionary Army leader, who struck fear into countless Allied Nations worldwide. This half-true, half-false news left many forces uncertain about Kael's true strength. If Kael could truly duel Dragon, then how strong would Kael be? Had he already reached the Admiral and Four Emperors level?

However, some intelligence personnel secretly thought that if the One Emperor, Three Marquises ganged up on Dragon, yet Dragon still managed to escape, it seemed the world had overestimated the strength of the One Emperor, Three Marquises. Ryokugyu's words contained very little truth. In short, all kinds of news emerged endlessly.

Finally, to everyone's astonished gazes, Fujitora used his gravity ability to level the damaged ground, Ryokugyu restored the forest, and Spartan directly led his clansmen to establish a new village on the spot. They were going to reside on this battlefield. They wanted to use some of the ruins left by the great battle between Kael and Dragon as the village's emblem, warning them to always remain strong. They should not forget the difficult years in the New World because of the peaceful environment of the East Blue.

Spartan selected a large rock that had been cracked by the clash of Kael's and Dragon's Haoshoku, and using his Armament Haki fist as a brush, carved the three characters 'Berry Liu' onto it. From now on, the displaced people of Berry Liu Island from the New World would officially take root in Berry Liu Village in the Goa Empire of the East Blue.

Meanwhile, in the Goa Imperial Palace, Kael underwent a comprehensive examination and treatment by 10 top doctors from the Drum Kingdom, ensuring no hidden injuries remained. He didn't want to end up like Whitebeard, with a body full of old injuries. Garp and Sengoku, those Marine old-timers, were 4 or 5 years older than Whitebeard, yet their bodies were several levels more robust than Whitebeard's. This was thanks to the well-established medical system of the World Government and Marine Headquarters. Even Kong, the Fleet Admiral, was 90 to 100 years old, yet he still looked muscular and full of vigor. He handled no less business than Fleet Admiral Sengoku. Now, the 10 doctors were taking root in the Goa Empire, developing the Goa Empire's medical system.

Kael also had the machine gun technicians recruited from the West Blue bandit gangs establish a machine gun production line in the Goa Empire. Kael wanted to develop the Goa Empire into the strongest medical and weapon nation in the East Blue. Seastone warships, submarine warships, Transponder Snail warships, and various black-technology warships could lay the foundation for the Goa Empire to dominate the Four Seas. The Flying Warships technology from Sky Island was also within Kael's development scope. Kael wanted to develop the Goa Empire's foundation in all aspects. To dominate the world, to bring peace to the world, and to ensure everyone had enough to eat, it wasn't just about shouting a few slogans. Developing technology and increasing productivity were the primary imperatives for a strong nation.

1 day later, a worried Kuma once again sought out Kael. He didn't understand what Kael's words meant. Would Bonney be in trouble in the future after he was modified? Did Saint Saturn and Vegapunk not keep their promise to let Bonney grow up safely? These thoughts kept him from resting well all night. Coupled with Saint Saturn calling again to warn Kuma, making Kuma ascertain Kael's true strength, Kuma could only come to find Kael early in the morning. This was both to complete the mission assigned by the World Government and to resolve his own anxieties.

In the Royal Garden of the Goa Imperial Palace, Kael appeared, yawning, while Kuma was already under the watchful eyes of Fujitora and Ryokugyu.

"Are you, a Warlord of the Sea, really working that hard to complete the World Government's mission?" Ryokugyu sat on a wooden chair with his arms crossed, his feet propped on a stone table, his face observing the burly man with interest. Meanwhile, Fujitora sat on the other side of the stone table, leisurely slurping noodles, eating with great relish.

"Oi, Kuma, why don't you stay for the New Year before you leave?"

Kael also sat on 1 side of the stone table, and Ryokugyu quickly put his feet down. Several maids swiftly brought out a lavish breakfast.

"Ryokugyu, are you still not eating today?" Kael picked up a hot dog and ate it, grumbling to Ryokugyu.

"Your Majesty, as you know, I've already 'eaten' quite full on the Onigashima Island battlefield and the Alabasta battlefield. However, if a beautiful woman were to feed me, I'd still eat a little."

Ryokugyu grinned and spoke casually. He no longer enjoyed the pleasures of food and drink, having grown accustomed to directly absorbing nutrients from his enemies. Last night, under Kael's instructions, he even executed several agents and intelligence spies lurking in the palace. Anyway, he wouldn't lack 'food' in the future.
