The King of Knights Yielded to No One / The Four Emperors Plan

The room was rather dimly lit with the curtains drawn.

A non-living steel Den Den Mushi, its eyes gleaming, shot out two beams of light that landed on the wall, forming a light screen that replayed the battle scene between Arthur and Golden Lion.

"Fufu~ Hey, that's terrifying!"

"Indeed... as expected of a user of the Rumble-Rumble Fruit, he can effortlessly unleash island-destroying techniques. It's astonishing!"

On the soft sofa, Doflamingo squatted barefoot, holding a Den Den Mushi in each hand. The Den Den Mushi in his left hand mimicked the bird face on the other end, emitting a shrill, excited voice. "One of the main figures in the Battle of Eto' Wall, once on par with 'Sea-Breaking Soko' and 'Red the Aloof,' the first criminal to successfully escape from Impel Down, the 'Impel Down,' the fall of a legendary figure—this is Big News Morgans!!"

Like the Echo Image Bird, the Steel Den Den Mushi is the masterpiece of 'scientist' M. Caesar Courland. It can synchronize the images recorded by the Image Bird, essentially acting as a memory device.

Doflamingo's Den Den Mushi are ordinary Den Den Mushi and Image Den Den Mushi.

The person on the other end of the phone was, of course, Morgans, the 'Big News Morgans' who had secretly established a pseudo-cooperative relationship with Arthur and Doflamingo.

Morgans, the "Big News Morgans" editor-in-chief of the "World Economy News Paper," which trains hundreds of thousands of News Coo, is one of the kings of the Underworld.

He is a businessman, a more purely business-minded one than Doflamingo and Gild Tesoro.

His eyes are sharper than any talent scout's.

Six months ago, after Arthur decided to create the world's most advanced war, he asked Doflamingo to do two things.

One of his actions involved using his influence in the Underworld to contact 'Big News Morgans' Morgans. The three then held a secret meeting.

The titles 'Knight of Knights' and 'King of Knights' were bestowed upon Arthur by Morgans when he praised him in the Big News Morgans, and they have been recognized by the world ever since.

As for Arthur, Big News Morgans Morgans, the person he has been most optimistic about in the past two years, sees the potential of a superstar in him.

For this reason, he went so far as to create a special column for Arthur after the Paramount War.

Arthur did not disappoint him, bravely entering the New World despite facing the danger of being the enemy of the entire world.

His record of annihilating enemies time and time again solidified his title of "King of Knights" and made his title of "World's Greatest Bounty Hunter" even more prestigious.

Especially after Arthur defeated Mihawk, 'Big News Morgans' Morgans was very eager to meet this future superstar.

So, after Doflamingo explained his purpose, Morgans, the "Big News Morgans," agreed without hesitation.

During the secret meeting, Arthur deliberately revealed the power of the Rumble-Rumble Fruit to Morgans, the "Big News Morgans".

Having personally confirmed the rumors, Morgans was so excited about the "Big News Morgans" that he almost lost all his feathers.

Of course, he didn't intend to use this to curry favor with the World Government.

To be able to sit in this position, 'Big News Morgans' Morgans certainly couldn't be that foolish.

Big News Morgans! Morgans saw even greater potential in the "King of Knights".

The World's Greatest Swordsman, coupled with the Devil Fruit User the Rumble-Rumble Fruit, this incredible young man is absolutely destined to stand at the pinnacle of the world.

After a conversation, Morgans, the "Big News Morgans" guy, immediately agreed to cooperate. After each battle, he would create a special column for Arthur, praising his achievements and increasing the reputation of the "King of Knights".

Big News Morgans, full of ambition Morgans, is determined to mold Arthur into a figure like Red the Aloof Patrick, elevating Redfield to a status no less than that of the Four Emperors.

Even without Big News Morgans' help, Morgans would reach that level sooner Arthur later.

However, with the help of hundreds of thousands of platforms for disseminating public opinion, this process will certainly be shortened to some extent.

"My inspiration is bursting forth, and the ocean will tremble once more under my pen..." Morgans' voice was incredibly excited, suppressing the urge to shout, and he said in a trembling voice, "'Joker,' send me this Big News Morgans immediately, I need to edit it right away."

"Heh... Remember to be discreet, and whatever you do, don't let those government spies planted in your newspaper see you." Doflamingo chuckled wickedly, "Otherwise, our 'King of Knights' won't care about the favor you did for him by 'making him famous'."

"Don't worry, I'll handle it myself... beep!" Morgans on the other end of the line replied with the 'Big News Morgans,' and then hung up the phone impatiently.

"Hmph~ I never thought that in the end, I would still have to hand over my life to someone else." Doflamingo looked at the Den Den Mushi with its head down, put his feet off the sofa, spread them out in a V-shape, looked up at the luxurious ceiling, chuckled evilly, and then his smile gradually faded, revealing a calm expression. His eyes, which were covered by Sun, were unreadable.

For the past six months, Doflamingo has remained holed up in the Dressrosa Kingdom, never daring to step out.

Vio 1.7 Wright was also placed under house arrest with 24-hour surveillance.

He hadn't felt this kind of stifling feeling in a long time.

Now, he has placed all his hopes on the 'King of Knights'.

Only if the 'King of Knights' defeats Whitebeard Pirates. will he be able to regain his freedom.

Even though the 'King of Knights's' idea was too crazy, he had no choice but to take a desperate gamble.

I only pray that you will have a peaceful and prosperous life.

The next morning, just as the first hint of dawn appeared on the horizon.

On an island, News Coo take flight, carrying loads of freshly printed newspapers, and soar to the world.

Today, the ocean is destined to experience a great upheaval that has been brewing for a long time!

Chapter 207 The King of Knights is No Less Than Anyone

--King of Knights VS Golden Lion, the End of a Legend! The Birth of a New Legend!--

The newspaper, contracted by "Heavenly Yaksha" Donquixote Doflamingo and "Big News Morgans" Morgans, was broadcast to every corner outside the windswept zone by hundreds of thousands of News Coo.

Today's headline consists of only a dozen or so striking characters and a still image.

This news item caused the entire ocean to boil.

The world is shaken!!

Shiki the Golden Lion has finally made an appearance after Impel Down, the "Impel Down"!!

Moreover, it appeared in a dramatic fashion, creating a new World's Greatest Swordsman, the 'King of Knights'.

This news is unbelievable!

What the world doesn't know is that Golden Lion's strength has been severely affected, and their perception of him is still based on the previous era.

Captain of the Flying Sea F, the greatest sea king of the previous era, Gol D. Roger, and the World's Strongest Man, Whitebeard, the Newgate, were 17 overlords of the same era.

That's the legendary Hai Mou...

Countless people, upon first seeing this news, instinctively felt skepticism.

But after seeing the image below the title, that skepticism turned into shock.

The front page featured a striking image of Arthur riding his King's Horse, wielding the Holy Lance and piercing the Golden Lion's throat, depicting the legendary sea lion's demise on the Isle of St. Petersburg.

Nothing is more convincing than this picture.

Upon seeing this news, after the initial shock, fans of 'King of Knights' were filled with intense excitement.

Holding the newspaper in his hand, he went to those who disliked the 'King of Knights' and showed off his skills, slapping them in the face.

"The 'King of Knights' has already reached the pinnacle of the world, and like the 'Red the Aloof' Patrick Redfield of the previous era, he is no less than anyone else!"

This sentence was an assessment given by Morgans, the "King of Knights," in a Big News Morgans article published two months ago.

This assessment has been widely accepted, but even more people disagree with it, making it highly controversial.

This controversy sparked a frenzy of discussion.

Those who like and admire the "King of Knights" naturally rave about their idol's great achievements; while those who dislike or are jealous of the "King of Knights" point out that he has never fought against the Four Emperors King of Knights cannot compare to the "Red the Aloof" who was on par with "Kazusa" and "Golden Lion" in the previous era.

Now, the legendary Sea King has added another undeniable achievement, silencing those who disagreed and leaving them with no way to refute it.

Although the 'King of Knights' has never fought against one of the Four Emperors, he is indeed no weaker than anyone else!

The Moby Dick is anchored on the sea in a certain area of New World.

"Pops, there's news about that bounty hunter again."

On the deck, Marco, holding today's newspaper, walked up to Whitebeard with a gloomy expression and said softly.

"Gurararara... Who is that brat bullying now?" The Whitebeard leaned back in a chair, drinking a famous wine from some unknown sea from a huge wine jug, a trace of water remaining at the corner of his mouth as he smiled.

His tone was full of teasing, which also showed Whitebeard's recognition of the 'King of Knights'.

Although he was a very unruly brat, his talent and strength were indeed rare in this world.

Despite being all alone, he dared to enter the New World amidst the dangers of being the enemy of the entire world, fearlessly confronting all those who sought to punish him, and establishing his position with victory after victory.

No wonder he was able to withstand his own Haki during the Paramount War!

Although he was an enemy, and the murderer of his own son, Whitebeard admired his courage.

"This time it wasn't about annihilating a single Sea King, but killing a Sea King himself!" Peer Gor said gravely, "That person, Pops, you know him very well too! 'Golden Lion' Shiki!"

"..."

Upon hearing this, the Whitebeard paused slightly as he brought the sake jug to his lips.

"Gurararara... Is that so? Shiki's gone too?" Taking a large gulp from his sake jug, the Whitebeard closed his eyes and chuckled with a sound that was hard to decipher—a laugh that was either hearty or nostalgic—and remarked wistfully, "After all, they were remnants of the last era. It's not surprising they're dead!"

"Pops, that 'King of Knights' guy is not to be underestimated anymore." Marco looked at Whitebeard with worry and advised, "Since we can't find his location anyway, why don't we just give up?"

"Although he killed Jozu, he was hired by the Navy and it was part of his duty, so we can't entirely blame him..."

As the reputation of the 'King of Knights' grew, Marco clearly felt his growth.

Now, the fall of the Golden Lion has filled Marco with unease.

If Marco initially wanted revenge for Jozu, now he wants Marco to Whitebeard up.

Even though Pops's strength has returned to its peak.

But that bounty hunter was too strange.

He is the Monster whose strength has increased the fastest that I have seen since I boarded the ship.

"Gurararara... We can't turn back!" Whitebeard reached out and ruffled Marco's hair, laughed loudly, and then said seriously, "Marco, on this vast sea, no one can harm my son and remain unharmed."

"Pops..." Marco stared intently at the Whitebeard, watching his Pops drink heartily, his face obscured by the wine jug, and said no more.

I already knew in my heart...

The Pops and the 'King of Knights' are bound to clash sooner or later.

"Hehe... Congratulations on your reputation advancing another level! A new legend, 'King of Knights', has been crowned..."

"Not enough..."

On the azure sea, a three-masted sailboat, its hull entirely silver, sails slowly.

On the lawn-like deck, Arthur leaned against the railing, holding a sinister-looking Den Den Mushi in his right hand, gazing at the magnificent seascape, and said softly, "It's far from enough!"

Chapter 208 The Four Emperors Plan (Third Update)

"That's far from enough..."

"Fufu~ Isn't this enough? What exactly do you want to do?!"

A sea breeze swept by, lifting Arthur's golden hair and revealing his pale emerald green eyes, which shone like sparkling gemstones.

The sinister Den Den Mushi in his hand emitted a probing voice. "You wouldn't... be planning to challenge all Four Emperors, would you?"

"Perhaps..." Arthur sat on the railing, his legs crossed elegantly, uttering ambiguous words.

"Hey... this is insane!" Doflamingo on the other side said helplessly, "Although I know you have the Rumble-Rumble Fruit and the ability to fly like Pegasus, the opponents aren't like Golden Lion, a remnant of the last era. Each of them owns one of the largest corporations in the New World."

"You... are not fighting against one person!"

Doflamingo clearly didn't take Arthur's words seriously; after all, fighting Whitebeard Pirates alone was already incredibly crazy to him.

If he hadn't been targeted by Whitebeard Pirates and hadn't had to take a desperate gamble, Doflamingo would never have cooperated with Arthur.

And now, before even engaging in battle with Whitebeard Pirates, 'King of Knights' has already declared his intention to challenge all Four Emperors.

This goes beyond madness; it's downright suicide.

"Morgans did a good job this time. Please thank him for me; he's been too kind to spend money on you." Arthur didn't reply, but smiled and changed the subject.
