Naito smirked. "Is it possible that when you feel something is wrong with the World Government, instead of tolerating its merits, you should find a way to eliminate those flaws?"

Zephyr was immediately struck as if by a heavy blow.

He said almost instinctively, "Change—it's easy to talk about, but who can guarantee that change will always be a good thing?"

"Because it's me, things will only get better."

Naito said matter-of-factly.

You little brat!

Zephyr was instantly speechless.

"Being so timid and hesitant is why I should be the Fleet Admiral."

Naito shook his head helplessly, "How can we run the navy well by following you old men?"

Still nestled in Naito's arms, the Vice Admiral Gion couldn't help but shrug and laugh.

That's Naito.

The young man she admired was indeed a born hero.

Not to mention Gion, even Zephyr couldn't help but want to laugh at this moment.

But he held back and asked seriously, "So what exactly do you want to do?"

Naito had always said his goal was to become Fleet Admiral.

But he never said, and no one ever asked, what he wanted to do after becoming Fleet Admiral.

Naito simply smiled slightly.

"Of course, it's about upholding my sense of justice."

He looked at Zephyr meaningfully, "Professor Zephyr, of course you'll help me, right?"

"..."

Zephyr opened his mouth.

This kid really wants to take action against the World Government.

But.

Should it change?

"Let's talk about that after you become Fleet Admiral."

That's what Zephyr said.

Naito shrugged. "Not long."

With sufficient strength and prestige, it is indeed time to prepare for promotion to Admiral.

Kuzan, it's about time you prepared to retire.

"Alright."

Zephyr shook his head wearily.

Physically, I'm still full of energy, but mentally, I inexplicably feel that I've aged.

"This is a secret between the three of us; don't tell anyone else."

Zephyr emphasized.

Then, he paused for a moment, and continued, "Next, let's try to secretly investigate that so-called King of the World."

Naito's lips curled into a smile. "Of course."

Okay, that works.

"Alright, how much longer are we going to float in this sky?"

Gion said softly, "It's about time we went down."

Indeed, the sailors on deck were all eagerly waiting.

The three landed on the warship, and unsurprisingly, Naito received the warmest welcome from the officers and soldiers.

Sigh, that's about charm.

Next, Zephyr personally reported the current situation to headquarters, emphasizing Naito's single-handed rearguard action, which helped the fleet successfully escape danger.

Fleet Admiral Sengoku praised Naito for a full three minutes over the phone.

But no matter how exhilarating the joy of surviving the disaster was, once things calmed down, the reality the navy had to face was that they were forced to abandon the area.

After Sengoku finished praising him, Zephyr asked bluntly, "So, Sengoku, what are the government and headquarters thinking? How exactly are they going to deal with the Night King and his gang?"

Whether or not to change the World Government is a matter for later consideration; right now, the Navy is facing a huge crisis.

"That's exactly what's giving us the biggest headache right now."

The Fleet Admiral Sengoku's voice was filled with melancholy.

Frankly, this massive evacuation from G-14 Base was incredibly disloyal.

Fearing a leak, they didn't even notify the Affiliated Nation in the area before evacuating.

The Affiliated Nation received the news only after the fleet had completely moved away from the dangerous waters.

As a result, an indescribable sense of panic and anxiety began to spread among the Affiliated Nation.

The Auguste Kingdom.

This is a country famous for its advanced watchmaking industry. Naito earned the title of a new naval hero precisely because he protected the country from Paris and King.

Meanwhile, in the royal palace of this wealthy Affiliated Nation...

"What does this mean?!"

His Majesty, whom Naito had praised as a good king, was angrily roaring while holding Den Den Mushi, "Why were we only informed of this now that the entire navy at G-14 Base had already withdrawn?!"

"Feel sorry,"

A somewhat cold male voice came from the other end of the Den Den Mushi, "The situation is extremely critical. To ensure the information doesn't leak out, this is the only way."

"Then what do we do?"

His Majesty the King was frantic with worry. "The navy has fled! Who will protect us? The Night King's forces have grown so powerful; how can we possibly survive under their rule?"

"Don't worry."

The person on the other end of the phone remained calm, saying, "No matter how reckless those people are, they wouldn't dare to attack any of the government's Affiliated Nation."

"What nonsense are you spouting!"

Even the usually mild-mannered King of the Auguste Kingdom couldn't help but erupt in a tirade, "If they really didn't dare to make a move, why did you withdraw from G-14 Base?"

"That's the situation. Good luck."

The call ended.

"Damn it!!"

His Majesty the King angrily slammed the Den Den Mushi he was holding onto the ground.

The innocent Den Den Mushi couldn't help but let out a mournful cry.

What to do?

What should we do now?

His Majesty the King was completely at a loss.

How can he protect this country? How can he protect his people?

Damn the World Government! Damn the Navy!

Just as His Majesty the King was becoming increasingly anxious, a commotion suddenly arose outside the palace gates.

Before he could even react to what was happening, he heard angry shouts, the clash of swords, and gunshots coming from outside the door.

"What?"

The king looked somewhat bewildered.

What happened again?

Boom!

The palace gates were violently forced open.

Armed soldiers filed in.

Among these soldiers were also many civilians carrying weapons.

"This is--"

The king looked at all of this with a bewildered expression.

He looked at the man walking at the very front of the crowd, who seemed to be the leader.

I recognize you.

The king asked, bewildered, "You're Albert's second-in-command, where is Albert? What are you doing?"

Albert is a general in the royal army of this country, and the guardian of this nation.

"Rest assured, Your Majesty, the general has only been captured; he is safe and sound."

The young man's lips curled into a carefree smile.

"As for what we are doing, Your Majesty, please don't blame us. You are a wise king, and we have always respected you. But, who told the great Night King to speak up?"

Huh?

Chapter 228 Revered as a God! Yamato's Adventure Part One

Inside the spacious main hall of the Royal Palace of the Auguste Kingdom.

All the ministers of this country have gathered here at this moment.

Some gritted their teeth, some turned pale, some roared angrily, and some hung their heads in silence.

His Majesty the King sat on his throne, just as he had in all previous court assemblies.

But unlike before, two heavily armed soldiers stood on either side of him, their swords at his waists half-drawn.

His Majesty's family, the nation's royalty, were now surrounded by the mutineers and forced to stand to the right of the throne.

Of course, the ministers invited by the rebels received the same treatment.

His Majesty the Auguste Kingdom stared at the young rebel, his voice trembling, "What on earth is going on?"

During the year that the pirates occupied this sea area, he lived in constant fear, afraid that the pirates would come knocking on his door at any time.

But in reality, not only did not the Night King's pirates appear, but not even a single ordinary pirate did.

Throughout that year, the entire Auguste Kingdom was peaceful and tranquil!
