Revered as a God! Yamato's Adventure, Part One (Continued)

If these guys heard some rumors and chose to side with the Night King, that would be understandable.

But judging from their appearance, these guys have clearly already submitted to the Night King!

How could this country have been infiltrated to this extent without his knowledge?

"It's perfectly understandable that you find it hard to understand!"

The young man, formerly the adjutant to the king's general, now a leader of a rebellion who had seized control of the entire Auguste Kingdom, raised the corners of his mouth in a fanatical smile.

"After all, how could you possibly understand the greatness of Night King!"

As he spoke, he glanced at the king with a hint of disdain. "Your Majesty, you need not worry about the future of this country. The great Night King is far more benevolent than you imagine!"

"This country will not only be free from any calamities, but will also usher in unprecedented opportunities! Everyone in this country will soon understand what true happiness is!"

"You're insane! Stein! You're absolutely insane!"

Bound and thrown into a corner of the palace, the former royal general, a man named Albert, roared, "The Night King, that monster, is a pirate! Are you trying to bring a band of pirates into our homeland?"

"General, you're the same,"

The young man named Stein shook his head helplessly. "A frog in a well can never understand the vastness of the sky!"

"The Night King is a god! This country is utterly insignificant to him; it is only because of his benevolence that this country has the opportunity to embrace happiness!"

"But it's okay,"

A smile returned to his face, a smile that could be described as holy. "It won't be long before you understand how foolish you've all been, and how truly great Lord Night King is."

"Madmen! A bunch of madmen!!"

General, looking at these rebels, felt a chill run down your spine.

These guys worship the Night King, that monster, almost like they're worshipping a god!

"You've all been brainwashed by that Night King! What kind of god is he—"

Bang!

Stein kicked Albert hard in the stomach.

Wow!

The general coughed up a mouthful of blood instantly.

"Shut up! Are you trying to insult the great Night King?"

Stein's expression twisted in a grimace. "The Night King has given us everything we wanted! He is the true god who will lead humanity to the Land of Dreams!"

"And you, you idiot who deliberately suppressed me, how dare you insult him!"

Albert's body convulsed from the excruciating pain.

However, he found it very difficult to reconcile the image of the deranged man before him with the image of the exceptionally capable and composed Stein he remembered.

So you were holding a grudge against me?

Because I wanted to give you more experience...

"Call..."

Stein quickly regained his composure, smoothed his hair, and smiled, saying, "Never mind, I'll say it again: you'll soon understand why the Night King is a god."

People who have nothing in the real world but have everything they desire in the City of Dreams worship Lord Night King madly.

As more and more people entered the City of Dreams, this worship had become an unstoppable wave, with countless people worshipping the Night King as a god and believing him to be a savior who had descended from the heavens.

"However, gentlemen, you should be thankful."

Stein surveyed the varied expressions on the faces in the palace, a strange smile appearing on his face. "We've been very gentle, after all, controlling both the royal army and the palace has gone smoothly."

"That's not the case in some countries."

Are there other countries?

His Majesty the King was slightly taken aback.

At almost the same time, not far from August, in another World Government Member States, the Bauhinia Kingdom...

Boom boom boom boom!

Heavy artillery roared!

Shells continued to rise into the air and fall, raining down on the city walls outside the palace. The sturdy walls trembled, stones flew, and dust billowed everywhere.

Inside the still-shaking palace, the panicked king screamed, "Hold on! Hold on! Don't let them breach the palace!"

So, what exactly happened?

A sudden rebellion broke out within the King's army. If it hadn't been discovered in time, the entire army would have been swept up in it!

Even so, after a fierce battle, the rebels still emerged victorious because many civilians were helping them!

And now we have the current situation: the rebels have surrounded the palace and are preparing to break down the gates and capture the king.

"Your Majesty! What should we do now?"

The king's twelfth wife, a young and beautiful woman, with a pale face, grabbed the old king's arm and said anxiously, "The city walls probably won't hold for much longer! What about the navy? When will the navy return?"

The king paused for a moment, then gave a bitter, desperate smile.

Navy?

Where is the navy now?

The entire G-14 Base has been evacuated; no one will come to their rescue.

Boom!

A loud bang.

Then.

"The palace gates have been breached!"

This rebellion has come to an end.

The Auguste Kingdom and the Bauhinia Kingdom were just examples; almost simultaneously, all the World Government Member States in this sea area experienced rebellions.

No Affiliated Nation was able to suppress them; all the rebels swept through their countries with ease.

After all, the infiltration was too extensive.

The news quickly reached the World Government.

With several World Government Member States overthrown in succession, the situation has become so serious that the Five Elders must meet for a meeting.

"It seems that guy planned this all along. Those Affiliated Nation have been thoroughly infiltrated, so much so that his men didn't even need to intervene personally."

"This is unprecedented. Several Affiliated Nation have been overthrown in one fell swoop. It goes without saying how the other Affiliated Nation will react."

"There is no doubt that the government will face enormous pressure going forward; no Affiliated Nation will remain indifferent to this matter."

Something has to be done.

"What should we do? Go and attack the Night King and his gang? But that Night King probably won't let us have our way; he'll never actually engage us in direct combat."

"We don't need to actually go to war, or rather, we just need to make the Affiliated Nation believe that we are fighting against the Night King and his forces."

"Good idea."

Let's go back to a slightly earlier time, before the rebellions of the many Affiliated Nation had fully erupted.

The first half of the Grand Line, the first part of this sea area called Paradise.

Two ships are sailing side by side, rapidly cutting through the waves.

On the deck of one of the ships.

Two parasols were placed on the deck, and in the middle was a small coffee table with two iced drinks on it.

Under one of the parasols, a white-haired woman sat cross-legged on a deck chair, grinning as she said, "So many years have passed, and Whiskey Peak is still just as described in Oden's logbook—it's still full of bounty hunters!"

"That's one of the islands closest to Reverse Mountain,"

Beside her, under another parasol, a black-haired woman reclined on a deck chair, calmly flipping through a book as she said, "Newcomers to the Grand Line lack understanding of the dangers of this sea, making them the easiest prey."

"That's really interesting!"

The white-haired woman, Yamato, who had recently entered the Grand Line Yamato, was overjoyed. "She was very enthusiastic at first, but she immediately became cold after finding out I wasn't a bounty hunter!"

"Then I saw you, hahaha, and I instantly became enthusiastic again! Those guys are so materialistic!"

The black-haired woman turned her head slightly, her gaze towards Yamato carrying a hint of complexity.

It's hard to imagine what kind of monster this woman is.

So many bounty hunters heading towards Whiskey Peak were all lying dead in the blink of an eye in front of her.

Her Conqueror's Haki Haki was described as "overbearing."

However, this was also one of the important reasons why she decided to travel with Yamato, because Yamato was powerful enough to protect her.

"If you want, your bounty can be much higher than mine."

The black-haired woman said calmly.

She didn't think the bounty on her head was a good thing at all.

"No, no!"

Yamato waved his hands repeatedly, "If I make it into the newspapers, my bastard Pops will find out!"

The black-haired woman's expression became complicated again.

She knew that Yamato's father was Kaido of the Beasts, one of the Pirate Emperors, a genuine super monster.

And that's not all.

"Are you still afraid of Kaido?"

The woman asked with some curiosity, "Isn't the Night King your good friend?"

I only found out about this a few days ago.

The world was shocked to learn that the manipulator behind Emperor World, the monster known as the Night King, was actually a friend of Yamato.

Although I knew before that Yamato had a very close friend, I didn't know who that friend was.

It wasn't until the newspapers became widely known that Yamato finally revealed the truth.

"Mainly, I don't want my jerk Pops to disturb my adventure!"

Yamato chuckled and said, "But he won't be arrogant for long! The Night King has decided to take action against that bastard Pops, we need to speed things up! Otherwise, we might not make it!"

The woman's lips twitched slightly.

No matter how many times I hear Yamato talk about it, I'm still amazed by their extraordinary father-daughter relationship.

Yamato casually picked up the nautical logbook and placed it aside.

"Hmm, the next island we're going to is Little Garden! Dorry and Brogy are there, right? Are they still dueling?"

Yamato's spirits soared. "It seems like it'll take the Log Pose on that island a year to fill up its record, but I've already prepared the Log Pose for the Drum Kingdom."
