Chapter 401: Grow Stronger, Achieve Greatness, and Create New Glory

First, Morgans broadcast it live on the spot; then, newspapers sold across the Four Seas reported it, and the overthrow of the World Government spread completely throughout the seas.

With the Marines and the Revolutionary Army suppressing the Four Seas, no major turmoil arose from it.

The original one hundred and seventy-plus member nations of the World Government, along with numerous non-member nations, all expressed their willingness to join the United Kingdom.

Of course, the Four Seas are so vast.

Nor is there a lack of ambitious individuals attempting to thoroughly muddy the waters while the United Kingdom is not yet stable, seeking greater benefits.

Marine Hero Garp and former Admiral Zephyr both led their troops out to suppress the rebellions.

Compared to the rebellions appearing in the Four Seas, the New World, which was previously the most chaotic, was instead异常 quiet.

After all, the New World is the territory of Wano and the Four Emperors, and Whitebeard, Shiki, and Kaido among the Four Emperors all belong to the founding fathers of the United Kingdom.

Naturally, they would not allow anyone to steal the fruits of victory.

Xia Luote Lingling, the only one not among the founding fathers, terrified of Saint Saint Saiwen's retaliation, had her mind entirely filled with how to repair the relationship.

Not only did she not stir up any turmoil, but she also dispatched the pirate crews under her command in the All Blue to maintain order and stability in the nearby seas.

Meanwhile, Punk Hazard.

Lafitte, carrying Blackbeard on his back, was fleeing everywhere while dodging the pursuit of the Morning Star Crew's First Division and the giant warriors of the Great Hammer Warband.

If you're going to act, you have to act the whole thing.

But poor Blackbeard suffered.

All the giant warriors' attacks were blocked by Blackbeard on Lafitte's back, clearly becoming Lafitte's human shield.

Even so, Blackbeard's eyes were still filled with tears.

"Brother Lafitte, I misunderstood you."

Blackbeard never expected:

That Lafitte, whom he had regarded as a traitor while trapped in a desperate situation, would actually infiltrate Punk Hazard alone, risking his life to rescue him.

"Captain, you really should lose some weight."

Lafitte was so worried.

Clearly, Captain Saint Saint Saiwen has already overthrown the World Government; at the World Conference in three months, he will surely ascend the throne of the King of the World.

As the innermost circle of the Captain's direct subordinates, the Morning Star Crew...

Whether it be the Morning Star Crew officers, the formal crew members, or interns like him, their status would surely rise accordingly; not to mention holding important positions in the United Kingdom, at the very least they could get promoted and receive a raise.

However, compared to the bright future of the other crew members, he had been assigned such a bitter task by the Captain.

An undercover agent, going undercover near Blackbeard.

Being an undercover agent was one thing.

He had joined the Morning Star Crew relatively late and lacked sufficient merit, but as an undercover agent, he also had to carry Blackbeard and break through the encirclement of over a hundred giant warriors.

Isn't this bullying an honest person!

Lafitte really wanted to shout: "Brothers behind, the giant brothers, go a little easier; we are all on the same side!"

But thinking of the important mission assigned by the Captain and the promise of promotion and a raise after completing the task, Lafitte gritted his teeth and sped up frantically.

Lafitte didn't understand.

Blackbeard had been modified by Vegapunk for a year and a half; how could he have become fatter and fatter?

"Sorry, Brother Lafitte."

Blackbeard endured the wounds on his buttocks and did not defend himself.

There was no way; lying down for a year and a half, doing nothing but sleeping and eating, and having Vegapunk inject some strange and bizarre genetic factors into his body, it was no wonder he got fat.

Thinking of his many years at sea with nothing but Lafitte by his side, Blackbeard couldn't help but feel sorrow in his heart.

"Brother, thank you for coming to save me."

"Hey, we are all family." Lafitte ran forward desperately: "Captain, let's escape first."

Seeing that they were about to reach the port, Lafitte put down Blackbeard from his back, switched to a princess carry, then leaped into the air, flying towards a ship on the distant sea.

Seeing this, the two behind, Dorry and Brogy, each drew their weapons.

"Haki~ Kingdom—"

Dorry's long sword and Brogy's giant axe collided with full force, and the terrifying shockwave... perfectly and precisely grazed the edge.

Watching Lafitte and Blackbeard escape by ship, Dorry grinned.

"We acted so well; Blackbeard must believe us, right?"

Brogy scratched his head.

"I don't understand; since the Captain has already become the King of the World, why let Blackbeard go? Isn't this raising a tiger to harm oneself?"

"Hehe." Dorry explained while laughing heartily, "In the Captain's words, this is putting all threats out in the open; it is far better than letting those termites hide in the dark and cause trouble!"

"Blackbeard is the bright lamp the Captain put out, guiding those termites to gather together."

"And with Lafitte there, we can then completely eradicate those termites in one stroke."

Hearing this, Brogy was greatly surprised.

"Clearly we are all giants, why has your brain suddenly become so sharp?"

Dorry smiled and took out a specially made book.

"Vergo's 'Saint Saint Saint Saiwen's Sayings', currently circulated only within the Morning Star Crew; the methods to become smart are all inside."

"Nani?" Brogy flipped through it for a moment and sighed.

"This guy Vergo, no wonder everyone calls him the King of Undercover Agents; he really knows how to suck up."

Meanwhile, on the other side.

Blackbeard lay on the deck, ignoring the wound on his buttocks that was still bleeding, breathing in the salty sea air in large gulps.

Although modified by Vegapunk for a year and a half, he had turned a disaster into a blessing, successively merging the Lunarian and Ancient Giant bloodlines.

Only the Barcane bloodline is fused by half; there shouldn't be any problems, right?

While his strength increased greatly, he had also regained the freedom he had long dreamed of; Blackbeard finally grinned and laughed wildly.

"Zahahaha~"

After a long while, Blackbeard held the wound on his buttocks with one hand and patted Lafitte's shoulder with the other.

"Brother, you shall be the First Mate from now on."

"With the two of us brothers joining hands, we will surely make the Blackbeard Pirates grow stronger and create glory once again; one day, we will become the Kings of the World."

"Captain." Lafitte nodded heavily.

"I believe in you; you can definitely do it."

King of the World?

Brother, do you even know what you are saying? The Captain overthrew the World Government yesterday, captured the Five Elders alive, destroyed Mary Geoise, and summoned a Sky City from the heavens.

The Marines dominating the Four Seas, the numerous Revolutionary Army, three of the Four Emperors...

Elbaf, the world's strongest nation; the Ryugu Kingdom of Fish-Man Island; the powerful nation of Alabasta—they are all the Captain's people. What will you use to become the King of the World?

A king in the gutter?

"Captain, where are we going next?"

Blackbeard's face was covered with a sinister smile.

"First, let's return to Paradise to pick up our cute little intern."

The incident of Wapol fleeing with his luggage earlier had become one of Blackbeard's most unwilling-to-remember stains since setting sail.

As long as Wapol is my man for a day, he will be my man for a lifetime.

Want to run? No way.

"Captain." Lafitte paused: "I actually have a good suggestion."

"The three major departments under the former World Government: the Marines have submitted to Saint Saint Saint Saiwen; Impel Down and Enies Lobby have not made a move yet; we might as well watch from afar for now and act according to the situation when the time comes."

"Impel Down?" Blackbeard nodded.

"Good, it happens to be on the way."
