King and Rebel

This man is a King.

It's only natural that, apart from kings who are proud of their status, very few people on this sea would wear a crown and wander around.

However, His King was in a rather disheveled state at the time.

It doesn't refer to appearance.

In fact, this guy was very neat in both appearance and clothing. If we hadn't met him in a small hotel but in the royal palace, his attire would have been perfectly appropriate for meeting a foreign envoy.

It refers to his mental state.

Like a frightened bird, when Sirius suddenly pushed the door open and entered, he immediately knelt down before Sirius, begging for mercy.

Then, after learning about Sirius's identity, her attitude immediately did a complete 180-degree turn, and she immediately hugged Sirius's leg and cried incessantly.

Sirius frowned, gave the guy a light kick, and sent him flying far away. The guy crashed headfirst into the wall, howling in pain, snot almost wiping his trousers. What a clueless jerk.

There was another person in the room, a similarly richly dressed man, who appeared to be a minister. He smiled obsequiously, "Lord Sirius, His Majesty is just too excited, please—"

"Alright, enough with the nonsense,"

Sirius was direct. "Let's go, to your country."

The sooner he finishes his mission, the sooner he can go back.

These two unlucky guys came from a nearby kingdom, a country belonging to the Beasts Pirates.

They were the King and minister of that country. A while ago, a rebellion broke out in the country, and these two unlucky guys fled the country in a panic, then asked the Beasts Pirates for help.

Teacher Kaido would normally not care about this at all.

He lent out the flag simply because he wanted money; he didn't care whose money it was.

However, the problem lies in money. The newly appointed leader wants to deny the Beasts Pirates' vassalage and refuse to pay tribute to Teacher Kaido.

This is a big problem.

Not to mention, the Rebel Army displayed astonishing weaponry when they launched their rebellion, directly routing the King's army. Teacher Kaido was also very interested in the guy who supplied them with weapons.

That's why Sirius is here.

"Notify that country,"

Sirius couldn't remember the country's name, nor did he care. There were just too many of these inexplicable countries in the New World; he had already landed on many of them.

"Just say, we've arrived."

Sirius simply didn't want to expend any more effort to clean up the Rebel Army, letting them gather all their forces together.

The Sirius continued its voyage, its destination another island not far away.

"You've been away for two months now, haven't you?"

Yamato sat on the gunwale, swinging her legs, her beautiful hair fluttering in the wind.

Eighteen-year-old Yamato has fully blossomed into her own unique beauty.

Sirius's hard to find any trace of the woman from ten years ago in her current state, except that her hair has grown a bit longer and her personality remains as simple and honest as ever.

Yamato gently brushed a strand of hair behind her ear, looking somewhat wistful, "I really miss Jack, Maria, and Little Pei and Little Jun."

The group of four was broken up. Jack and Maria did not act with Sirius two. For the past two years, they had always been with Teacher King or Teacher Queen.

Needless to say, Ulti and her brother Page One are still on Onigashima. After all, Ulti is only twelve years old, and she can't do something that would cause a sensation at sea like Sirius did at the age of thirteen.

"Once this is settled, we can go back."

Sirius Road.

On the distant sea, that island could already be seen in the distance.

As the Sirius approached, the King, who had been hiding in the cabin, rushed out upon hearing the news.

He was about to proudly announce to everyone that their King had returned!

Whoosh!

Suddenly, a sharp explosion rang out in the air. Sirius's eyes narrowed as a cannonball streaked across the distance and hurtled towards them.

Whether it was good luck or truly amazing skill, the cannonball blasted straight towards Sirius.

Sirius smiled, extended his right hand, and invisible waves swirled around it.

Boom!

The shell slammed into an invisible wall and detonated some distance from Sirius.

The exploding fireworks were also blocked by an insurmountable barrier, unable to touch Sirius at all.

But this shell was just the beginning.

A deafening roar filled the air as countless shells instantly coalesced into a dark cloud, blotting out the sun and pressing down on the Sirius.

"This firepower is indeed astonishing."

Sirius sighed.

Teacher Kaido's worries were well-founded; the person behind the scenes who could provide the rebels with such a large amount of weaponry must be no ordinary individual.

But despite the sighs, the things that need to be done still need to be done.

Sirius drew his Azure Greatsword from his back and casually swung it, shouting, "Sovereignty!"

A magnificent beam of light shot out instantly, shattering all the cannonballs flying towards the large ship.

As for those flying in other directions, we don't need to worry about them; they won't land on the Sirius anyway.

Amidst the barrage of gunfire, the Sirius advanced calmly, with nothing able to stop them.

Soon, the Sirius reached the shore, Sirius could clearly see a large number of heavily armed soldiers gathered on the coast.

The leader was a man wearing a suit of armor that didn't quite fit him; he had a serious expression and then raised his hand high.

Simultaneously, the soldiers also raised their guns.

Sirius knew that when that hand fell, it would be time for the soldiers to open fire.

He pointed at the commander-like man, "Yamato, leave him here, take down the rest."

"Extremely simple!"

Yamato chuckled, then her brows suddenly furrowed.

An invisible force instantly transformed into a whirlwind, sweeping across the entire coastline.

Before the soldiers gathered there could pull the trigger, they were already foaming at the mouth and falling backward.

The strength of Yamato's Conqueror's Haki now is completely different from what it was three years ago.

"This--this-how is this possible!"

The commander-like man was incredulous, his entire body trembling.

That's so convenient.

Sirius couldn't help but sigh inwardly, wishing he also had Conqueror's Haki's Haki.

"That's really, really amazing!!"

The King, who had witnessed the entire scene, danced with excitement like a monkey, shouting, "As expected of the Beasts Pirates!! Hahaha, now those lowly commoners will know what's what!"

"They must all die! All traitors must die!! Hahahaha!"

Sirius completely ignored him, ordered the Sirius to dock, and then jumped off the ship with Yamato.

"Die! Beasts Pirates!"

Roaring, the only commander still standing swung his blade at Sirius.

Sirius didn't even lift his eyelids. He reached out and grabbed the man's sword-wielding arm before he could react, then casually flung him to the ground.

This guy hasn't even undergone basic training; he's just an average person who's somewhat physically fit.

The biggest problem Sirius faced with him was figuring out how much power to use to subdue him without killing him.

Even so, the man screamed in pain after falling to the ground.

Then, before Sirius could say anything, the King, who had been hiding on the ship, hurriedly ran off and came over.

The King's face contorted in a rage, and he kicked the man lying on the ground. The man groaned, "Why didn't you scream?! Harold! My captain of the guard! Why didn't you scream?!"

The man named Harold simply glared at him.

The King simply stomped on his face, squeezing it hard, "Hahahaha, what's the use of all your efforts? In the end, I'm the one who wins!"

"Beg me, Harold! Beg me, and I might make your death look better!"

Harold remained silent.

Sirius, somewhat impatient, simply reached out and shoved the arrogant King into a rolling gourd shape.

But of course, he dared not show any anger towards Sirius; he simply smiled apologetically, "Yes, did I block your way, Lord Sirius? Please forgive me!"

"What an annoying guy."

Yamato a soft hum.

Sirius ignored him and simply asked Harold, "Where is the man named Johnson?"

Harold was once the captain of the country's palace guard, a position of great power and influence, but he was not the leader of the previous rebellion.

The man who launched the rebellion was named Johnson. Harold was merely recruited by him, and it was that man who provided a large amount of weaponry, giving the rebels overwhelming power over the King's army in an instant.

Harold merely sneered, "Beasts Pirates, don't think you can do whatever you want!! This country has had enough of you!"

Sirius raised an eyebrow.

They haven't realized the seriousness of the problem yet.

I'm right here!

Fortunately, Sirius didn't have to ask any further questions.

A man walks out of the city in front of the coast.

It's called a city, but it's really just a large, dilapidated town, and that's almost the entire territory of this country.

There are many countries like this in the New World.

Behind the men followed a large number of civilians. They were called civilians because most of them were elderly people, women, and children, and they carried hoes and kitchen knives as weapons.

Sirius's gaze fell on the man, and he instantly recognized him; he was indeed the mastermind behind the rebellion, Johnson.

Johnson looked directly at Sirius, took a deep breath, and then said loudly,

"Give up, Calamity Sirius! We will no longer be exploited by the Beasts Pirates!"

Sirius didn't speak, he just watched him quietly.

Seeing that Sirius remained unmoved, Johnson continued shouting, "This country has joined the World Government! It has become one of the Affiliated Nation of the World Government! The navy is on its way!"

"If you don't want to be sent to Impel Down, then get out of here!"
