Pirates: The Greatest Scoundrel in Navy History

"King Clay, please come this way."

"It's been a long time since we last met, King Muko."

"Hahahaha, the Kingdom of Sphik has not been peaceful recently, and I don't have the heart to travel the sea anymore."

"So we should continue to maintain the previous cooperation agreement this year, right?"

"By the way, the government really made a big scene this time..."

"That's for sure, after all, Fergalando Garinsheng has a very high status among the world's nobles."

"I just don't know which lucky guy can take over Garinsheng's position as the deputy leader of the Knights of God, tut tut tut tut..."

"..."

The sun was bright and brilliant. It was noon, but the square under the Stairs to Heaven didn't seem hot at all.

Due to the altitude, the climate of the holy land of Marijoa on the Red Earth Continent is like spring all year round. Today's sky is even more blue and clear, with no clouds.

Representatives of member states from all over the world, heads of chambers of commerce, senior politicians, financial giants, and well-known journalists... took the wine brought by the waiter, dressed in the most expensive and exquisite aristocratic dresses, formed small circles in twos and threes, chatted with smiles on their faces, and toasted each other.

Various confidential intelligence and news were told by them as gossip and jokes after dinner. Any handshake was a business cooperation worth hundreds of millions, and every toast would determine the life and death of thousands of people... In this not-so-spacious square, these dozens of people almost grasped the political, economic and military lifeline of the entire world.

"King Cobra, how are you recently?"

A mellow laugh sounded behind him, bringing Cobra back to his senses.

He turned around and looked at the man in front of him with a rough hairstyle and a sturdy figure. A smile appeared on his face and he said:

"Thank you King Riku for your concern. Everything is fine."

Unlike other representatives of the member countries who were dressed gorgeously, King Riku Dold III of Dressrosa wore casual clothes, a simple blue cloak, a rough giant sword hanging around his waist, and was full of a hearty and enthusiastic temperament.

Rather than saying that he is the king of Dressrosa, a well-known economic power in the New World, his image looks more like a brave adventurer who has experienced many storms.

It is precisely this temperament that is completely different from other nobles, and the character of caring and sympathizing with the people, that makes Cobra have a good impression of him and have a good personal relationship with him.

"Really?"

King Riku looked at Cobra curiously, shook his head, and smiled:

"But I see you look worried and restless, King Cobra."

If you knew that the crazy bastard Darren had sneaked into the holy land of Marijoa, and didn't know what he was going to do, you would probably want to leave the holy land right now... Cobra couldn't help but complain in his heart.

"...I always feel that something big will happen today."

Thinking of their friendship for many years, Cobra hesitated for a moment, but couldn't help but lower his voice and remind him implicitly.

"Oh?"

King Riku was stunned when he heard this, then he laughed disapprovingly and scratched his head and said:

"This is the holy land of Marijoa... It is the safest place in the world!"

"What big thing can happen here? If there is any big thing, it is probably related to the World Government and the Knights of God..."

He blinked, poked Cobra's shoulder with his finger, came over, glanced around furtively, and then lowered his voice and laughed:

"Have you heard any news or rumors? Tell me quickly..."

"This time the government has made such a big scene. It is obviously not the world conference held every four years, but it has created the specifications of the world conference... There must be something important or news to announce!"

This idiot!

Looking at King Riku's innocent and straightforward appearance, Cobra rolled his eyes and his mouth twitched uncontrollably.

Does he think that the five old men of the World Government summoning the representatives of the member countries will have any good news?

In the past, almost every World Conference had to raise the issue of the Heavenly Gold Tax!

However, when Cobra thought of the guy in front of him, he was a reckless man who would hide his identity and fight as a gladiator in the arena, and he was relieved.

"... This is of course certain. If it was just a ceremony to watch the inauguration of the leader of the Knights of God, there would be no such big move."

Cobra shook his head and glanced at the representatives of the member countries who were whispering and looking at each other.

He believed that these guys present probably guessed that the World Government must take action. After all, recentlyDuring this period, the government suffered too much from Darren and the North Sea Fleet.

The inauguration ceremony of the leader of the Knights of God was probably just a gimmick.

But perhaps even the old foxes present who have been immersed in politics and fame for many years could not guess that Darren, the madman, had actually sneaked into the holy land of Mary Geoise.

It would be fine if he didn't make trouble... But is it possible! ?

Just as Cobra hesitated and wanted to say something, an exciting and solemn horn sounded gradually from a distance.

The moment they heard the horn, everyone in the square was shocked, stopped whispering, restrained their expressions, and their expressions quickly became serious.

With a swish,

The Holy Land Guards of the World Government stationed around the square took a step forward in unison, forming a majestic square formation, with the silver spears in their hands raised high.

The spear tips were like a forest, shining dazzlingly under the sun.

"The inauguration ceremony of the leader and vice leader of the Knights of God... now officially begins!"

Accompanied by the low voice of a World Government official, the "cross" flags representing authority around the square suddenly spread out in the sky, dancing wildly in the wind, and bursting into crackling crisp sounds.

"The ceremony will be personally performed by the highest authority of the World Government - the Five Elders - and in the presence of all the distinguished representatives of the member states and the whole world, the new leader and deputy leader of the Knights of God will be granted authority!"

The World Government official stood on a high platform, waved his hand solemnly, and then bowed deeply in the direction of the Stairway to Heaven, saying loudly:

"Greetings to the Five Elders!"

As soon as the voice fell, CP0 members appeared quietly on both sides of the Stairway to Heaven like ghosts, and cold voices came out from under their creepy masks:

"The Five Elders are here. Except for the representatives of the member states, the rest of the people must not face the true appearance of the Five Elders, otherwise..."

The murderous aura suddenly filled the entire square, causing the entourage of the representatives of the member states and other people who came to watch the ceremony to tremble, and subconsciously bend down in fear.

"—— Kill without mercy!"
