Pirates: Usurping a Kingdom Is Surprisingly Easy

As 3 warships sailed into the offshore waters of the Goa Imperial Capital, countless cheers erupted. They saw the Goa Imperial Port and the entire coastline, a bustling scene of countless ships and flags covering the sky. All kinds of warships, from small sailboats to large 3-masted ships, and warships with various animal figureheads, filled everyone's vision.

Warships bearing the flags of various kingdoms, families, and factions occupied everyone's sight. Spartan and the young men and women from Belileu Island were completely awestruck. How prosperous and powerful this was! Even Alabasta, a superpower of the Grand Line, couldn't compare to 1% of the Goa Empire's prosperity. Even Reiju and Nami were shocked.

Was this the welcome ceremony that Empress Sally and Bartolomeo spoke of? This was too exaggerated, wasn't it? It seemed as if all the forces of the East Blue had gathered in the Goa Empire.

"It really is exaggerated!" The newcomer, Burgess, widened his eyes, looking at the dense array of warships; there must have been thousands of them.

"Tsk tsk, is this the might of the number 1 empire of the Four Seas!" Capone Bege took a deep breath. Even his unification of the West Blue's underworld hadn't achieved 1% of this prosperity.

Everyone sighed with emotion, their spirits ignited by the Goa Empire's joy. A surge of proud, exhilarating feeling rose in each of their hearts. Was this the legendary glory of the empire, shining upon every subject?

Even Emperor Kael was pleasantly surprised by this grand welcome ceremony. This was his empire! It was because of his rise that the East Blue straightened its chest, raised its head, and drew the focus of the East Blue onto Emperor Kael and the Goa Empire. There was even a crazy idol effect and a siphon effect, creating an unprecedented scene.

At this moment, Monkey D. Dragon, the leader of the Revolutionary Army, hidden in the town, and Belo Betty, the commander of the Eastern Army, were both shocked by the Goa Empire's prosperity and happiness. Their purpose in coming to the Goa Empire this time was to re-evaluate the terrifying threat of the "One Emperor, Three Marquises."

Especially since Dragon learned from Genzo that Emperor Kael might know some secrets of the Revolutionary Army. Even Dr. Vegapunk had warned Dragon, revealing information that Emperor Kael was very mysterious and very dangerous. He possessed an unimaginable source of intelligence. This made Dragon quite uneasy.

One must know that Dragon had previously made a move against Emperor Kael. Now, Dragon didn't even know how to deal with the dangerous individual that Emperor Kael was. But he also learned through inquiries that it seemed Garp had taken the blame for him, appeasing Emperor Kael's anger and desire for revenge. He didn't know if it was true or not. This time, he wanted to test Emperor Kael's attitude and explore Emperor Kael's intelligence sources. This Goa Emperor knew even his and Genzo's secrets, and even Dr. Vegapunk's secrets, which was truly daunting.

Meanwhile, in Colubo Mountain, the new Warlord of the Sea, Tyrant Kuma, received orders from the World Government to carry out a mission in the East Blue. He also took on a private job from Dr. Vegapunk, delivering a machine to the Goa Empire to a few women he was supposed to meet. He even made a detour to check on Iron Fist Garp's grandson, who was also Dragon's son.

The prosperity of the Goa Empire filled him with emotion. If the former king of the Sorbet Kingdom had been as good at governing and as powerful as Emperor Kael, that would have been wonderful. Kuma saw Dragon's son suddenly run down the mountain with his ears perked up, crossing the continuously managed Gray Terminal, and heading towards the Goa Imperial Capital to join the fun. He instantly disappeared as well. His main mission this time was to thoroughly ascertain the true strength of the "One Emperor, Three Marquises." If necessary, he even had to engage in a fight with them. Saint Saturn believed that with Kuma's strength and the abilities of his Paw-Paw Fruit, he should be able to gauge the strength of Emperor Kael and the others, and also safely withdraw. With Kuma's Buccaneer physique and Haki, he would surely be able to withstand Emperor Kael's Exile Power. Soon, Kuma also appeared on a tall building in the Goa Imperial Capital, looking at the bustling and prosperous age.

Amidst the cheers of the people, the long-awaited Goa fleet finally appeared on the sea. Under the gaze of all, a Kirin Lion, shining with brilliant golden light, flew up from the Exile Emperor. This instantly captured everyone's attention, and frantic shouts completely ignited the Royal Port and the coastline.

"It's Emperor Kael!" "I love you, Your Majesty!" "Your Majesty, you are my idol, my god!"

Countless people roared, and Bartolomeo was so excited he cried and shouted! He was Emperor Kael's number 1 fan! Emperor Kael looked at this scene of popular support and affection, his heart extremely moved. He had only done a little better than the kings of the Allied Nations, reducing taxes by a few tenths and providing them with a safe environment free from pirate rampages. Just like that, he had gained the love of countless common people. The common people of this world indeed lived a rather hard life.

"Buzz!!"

A majestic Conqueror's Haki erupted from Emperor Kael. With a surging heart, he raised his hand, waved, and pressed down. The sound from the entire Royal Port and coastline ceased. This explicitly forbidden scene made everyone on the Exile Emperor widen their eyes. Even Dragon, Betty, and Kuma clenched their fists.

Emperor Kael drew his Seven Star Dragon Sword, pointed it at the sky, his expression incomparably impassioned and exhilarated. "Goa!! Your Emperor has returned!!"

Emperor Kael roared excitedly, his black hair wild, his cloak fluttering, and his Haoshoku suddenly surged, becoming even more profound and solidified, with endless black and red lightning spreading. A heaven-slashing sword energy whistled upwards, splitting the clouds in the sky in half. A ray of sunlight shone on Emperor Kael and on the golden Kirin Lion. At this moment, Emperor Kael was like a god descended to earth, sacred and inviolable.

"Boom!!" "Your Majesty!!" "Long live His Majesty!" "Long live the Sacred Emperor!"

The people of the entire Royal Port and coastline cheered joyfully, and countless common people even knelt and prostrated themselves, so excited that tears streamed down their faces. Bartolomeo shouted excitedly until his face turned red and he fainted, which made Desire roll her eyes. However, when she looked at the sacred figure on the Kirin Lion, her eyes were filled with fanaticism and obsession.

On the high platform of the Royal Port, Empress Sally clutched her chest, her eyes full of starlight, wishing she could immediately fly into Emperor Kael's embrace and passionately kiss her great man. One by one, the Goa concubines' eyes glowed with red hearts, and they swallowed their saliva. They just wanted to have another passionate battle with Emperor Kael. Whether they were princesses or noblewomen from the Goa Empire or other Allied Nations, all were deeply attracted by Emperor Kael's divine appearance. Even the queens, consorts, and noblewomen of various countries were all infatuated with Emperor Kael. They truly wished to become the tender little women of this Sacred Emperor!

"Betty! Hold your breath, clear your head!!" Dragon looked at Belo Betty, whose eyes were shining as she gazed at Emperor Kael, and quickly spoke to wake her up. "There's something wrong with Emperor Kael's Haoshoku and the light emanating from that long sword!!"

He hadn't expected Emperor Kael's Conqueror's Haki to be able to merge with the light of a demonic sword, affecting so many people. Even his Eastern Army commander, so far away, was being mesmerized. What a demonic emperor!
