How can I become the Pirate King if you don’t work hard?.

Chapter 351 This world shouldn't be like this!

at the same time.

Britannia border.

A transparent door opened from the void, and countless survivors emerged, gazing in a daze at the central area of ​​Britannias.

My body was trembling involuntarily!

"what is that?!"

"Light!"

"Blinding light fell from the sky, obliterating everything it touched!"

"This is divine punishment!"

A surviving member of the Tianjue Church knelt on the ground, his face filled with unyielding despair and fanaticism.

His mental state nearly collapsed when he took the pillar of light that swallowed Avalon as divine punishment.

"Because our blasphemous acts have brought divine punishment upon us, and blasphemers must pay the price for it!"

"Burn them!"

"burn--!"

laugh--!
Before the man could finish speaking, a long sword sliced ​​across his neck, decapitating him.

Many people around were caught off guard and splattered with blood. They looked terrified and quickly moved away.

All eyes turned to the headless corpse, but there was little sympathy in their eyes.

"If there truly are gods, then there shouldn't be messengers like Wales, the Heavenly Awakening Church shouldn't be committing such atrocities, and this scene before us shouldn't exist!"

An old man had bloodshot eyes.

He was originally a nobleman from Britannias with some assets, but he was manipulated by the Church of the Awakened and forced to give up everything.

It includes not only property, but also one's own family!

At this moment, he felt nothing but unspeakable hatred.

The people around were mostly the same.

After breaking free from Welsh control, they were shocked to realize just how absurd everything they had done had been.

As for the being that saved the country, even if it is a legendary dragon, it is a savior dragon and should be enshrined in a temple and written into the history of Britannias!
"spit--!"

A guard in tattered armor spat at the corpse and refused to look at it again.

just.

When everyone turned around and looked at the pillar of light that stretched across the sky and almost completely filled their vision, their faces turned deathly pale!
"If there really is divine punishment, this must be what it looks like!!"

“I’ve lost my family, I’ve lost my home, and I barely survived, but now…”

"But why?!"

"I just... I just want to survive. I work day and night, pay taxes, I just... I just want my family to have a better life."

"But now even that kind of opportunity is gone?!"

Is there really no way to survive in this world?

……

Desperate cries and sobs spread through the crowd, and even seemed to be escalating.

Beville stood at the front of the crowd, listening to the sounds around him and looking at the burning world in the distance. He felt a chill run through him, a tightness in his chest, but even more so, a deep sense of powerlessness.

Gawain defeated Wales, and he thought he would be able to defeat Britannias.

Joan of Arc took over Fafnir's body and destroyed most of Avalon, causing countless deaths. Only tens of thousands of survivors made it through the portal, while Avalon originally had a population of hundreds of thousands!
Gawain faced Joan of Arc and easily suppressed her, leading Beville to believe that hope was finally on the horizon.

But these pillars of light falling from the sky swallowed everything on the earth.

The entire Avalon, along with everything within a radius of hundreds of kilometers, was submerged under that pillar of light.

Having just struck the followers of the Heavenly Awakening Church, nipping the unrest in the bud, Beville had exhausted all his strength. At this moment, he could barely stand by leaning on his sword.

He opened his mouth:
"The world shouldn't be like this..."

"Hasn't this always been the case? Living is an extremely difficult thing!"

Morgan stood to the side, his lips pressed tightly together, his eyes wide open, staring at everything in the distance. His eyes were bloodshot, and his body was trembling uncontrollably.

But her gaze did not waver in the slightest, fixed on everything happening in the distance, wanting to engrave that radiant light that pierced the heavens and the countless dead in her heart.

“Outside Britannias, rare races were hunted and sold as slaves throughout the world.”

"The world government collects exorbitant sums of heavenly gold and sucks the blood of all ordinary people."

"Pirates plundered everywhere, causing chaos and leaving behind countless blood debts..."

"This is how the world has always been..."

"Only Mr. Gawain, Mr. Gawain is a special existence!"
"That naive idea of ​​giving everyone a chance to survive is the only salvation in this desperate world!"

Morgan lowered his eyes, looking at the intact life in his palm, his gaze gentle, yet filled with a resolute and unwavering hope.

This was the life card that Gawain left for her before the Lionheart Knight entered Britannias. Its intact condition meant that even under such a devastating attack, Gawain was still unharmed, and that was enough for her.

Her mind was already filled with the image of that man, but she knew even more clearly that she had other things to do.

Morgan put away the life card in her hand, wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes, turned to look at the survivors behind her, and spoke in a soft voice, yet with a comforting power:

"People of Avalon!"

"I am the eldest princess of Britannias. King Arthur is dead, and I will temporarily take command here!"

"The danger has not yet passed. We don't know when the enemy's attack will come again. What you need to do now is to come with me and evacuate for the time being!"

"Once everything settles down, we'll rebuild our homes!"

"We will welcome a new king of Britannias!"

The crying from the crowd gradually subsided.

They turned to look at Morgan, then at Beville and the group of Britannias guards standing beside her, and hope rekindled in their eyes, as if they had found their pillar of support.

soon.

Led by Morgan, the group then retreated to a more distant location.

Beville followed Morgan, his gaze never leaving the woman before him, for he sensed an unprecedented power emanating from Morgan.

He couldn't help but speak:
"you……"

Morgan did not turn around; his expression remained resolute.
"I just feel that if Mr. Gao Wen were here, he would definitely say such things and do such things."

“I’m just imitating him; I want to become like him.”

"You'll understand me, won't you?!"

"Beville!"

The image of Gawain appeared before Beville's eyes, and he couldn't help but nod:
"what."

"It exists like the sun."

"It is indeed something to look forward to."

The group retreated along the coast towards the safe zone.

But when they turned around, they discovered that the distant sea was surging, with towering waves rolling toward the shore.

A storm is about to hit.

Beville is far more than people see, and there are many more questions:

"Something's wrong!"

"Logically speaking, there shouldn't be any tsunamis in Britannias at this time of year!"

"Was it caused by the attack that just fell from the sky?!"

With disaster looming, Morgan had no time to worry about such things:
"Go first!"

"Retreat to higher ground!"

……

……

Central area of ​​Britannias.

The spreading beam of light gradually subsided and dissipated, leaving behind only a giant crater stretching as far as the eye could see, lying across the earth.

In the distance, besides the crimson lava, there was a bottomless, wide-open crater.

Kro stood at the edge of the giant pit, looking into its depths. All he could see was a crimson red that burned his eyes so brightly he couldn't open them.

Ajin stared blankly at the giant crater before him, his eyes filled with both fear and relief.

"If we hadn't evacuated an hour earlier, and if the captain hadn't had our life cards and rescued us in time, we might have been blown to bits."

"what."

Zoro's forehead was covered in cold sweat, and even the restless Muramasa had become extremely docile, as if he was afraid of the great power that had just connected heaven and earth.

Sanji looked down and took out a cigarette from his pocket, but couldn't light it after several attempts.

He simply threw it into the lava, and with a hiss, the cigarette was instantly burned to ashes.

At this moment, everyone in Gawain's group stared in disbelief at the terrifying scene before them.

The power that had just pierced through heaven and earth had surpassed their imagination and completely shattered their understanding of the past few decades.

It also truly made them feel the meaning of the phrase "a single shot can destroy a country," although that feeling wasn't exactly pleasant.

Luo pressed down on his hat, his tone grave:

"Ancient weapons?!"

Gawain lowered his gaze and nodded:
"what."

"Uranus, one of the three ancient weapons."

"I knew the World Government had this thing, but I didn't know they could already use it now."

"This could potentially change the entire world order."

No one refuted Gawain's judgment, simply because such a weapon, capable of destroying a nation in a single strike, already possessed the ability to instantly annihilate any force.

Even a monster as powerful as Joan of Arc, who was nearly immortal, was instantly blasted into dust. Gawain also had to exert all his strength to barely get everyone out of the attack range, otherwise he probably wouldn't have been able to withstand it either.

However, doubts still lingered in their hearts.

Kro pressed on, asking:
"If the World Government possesses such a weapon, why has it been sealed away until now?!"

"There is some reason that prevents them from using this weapon, it could be energy or ammunition."

"Or perhaps it might lead to consequences they don't want to bear!"

"Yes."

Gao Wen affirmed:
"The misuse of ancient weapons will lead to rising sea levels."

"Every time it is used, a large amount of land will be submerged. The day when all the land is submerged in the sea will be the end of mankind."

There is only one most precious resource in the world.

"That is the land!"

"Only with enough land can people survive!"

Kro paused for a moment, his pupils contracting slightly:
"So this world might not have always been like this, with landmass making up a larger proportion? That's why Mary Geoise was built on the Red Line?! The Celestial Dragons also fear the day the world sinks!"

"Correct."

Gawain lowered his eyes and looked at the giant pit in the distance.

The crimson lava flowed, radiating a scorching light that made his face flush red, yet it couldn't dispel the chill in Gawain's eyes.

Just now, what he had always insisted on, the future he wanted to achieve, shattered.

"I thought that with my strength, I would be able to gain a foothold in the new world, carve out a large enough territory, and live a carefree life with you all."

“I had always considered Britannias as my place of residence.”

"But before I could even settle down, everything was destroyed just as I found this place."

Everyone turned to look at Gao Wen upon hearing the sound.

This was the first time they had heard Gawain speak of his dream, but it wasn't a grand statement like obtaining One Piece or conquering the world.

Compared to those powerful individuals who set their sights on the entire world, Gawain's goals could be described as ordinary and mediocre, but everyone knew that Gawain had a place in his dreams.

This was a gentleness that this man had never shown before, a gentleness that seemed out of place with his formidable strength, yet it still made people feel warm.

It's warmer than sunshine.

hiss--!
Gawain closed his eyes.

What reached their ears were the desperate cries of the Avalon inhabitants who had no time to escape as the Heavenly King descended to earth, the sound of the earth being swallowed up, and the sound of bones being burned to ashes.

He carefully recalled his experiences along the way.

From the East China Sea to the New World.

Gawain and his companions slayed the mad Wapol brothers of the Drum Kingdom, fought the Golden Lion in Water Seven to save the civilians there, thwarted Hody's plot on Fish-Man Island, and destroyed the Church of the Awakened in Britannias...

Gawain has changed a lot.

To give those who should have died a second chance to live.

Nothing has changed.

They still have to live under the rules of the World Government, live under the oppression of the Celestials, and live under the plunder of pirates.

They don't know when they will die, like blades of grass in the wind.

Just like the paradise that Gawain chose for himself, which was about to be obtained, it was directly destroyed by the attack of the Heavenly King!
As sea levels rise, seawater erodes the land, turning the giant crater into an inland sea.

How much land will this country, which once boasted the world's most fertile land, have left is now a pressing question.

Many more who should have survived have been burned to ashes by the Heavenly King.

Even Gawain's companions might one day be killed by the King of Mary Geoise.

This feeling of being out of control made Gao Wen increasingly unwilling to accept it.

"The world shouldn't be like this."

"It shouldn't be like this."

Kro stood beside Gawain, side by side. He sensed something and simply said:

"Whatever you choose to do, I'll stand by you."

"After all, you said you wanted to build an ideal place where I could have a comfortable life."

"Although I don't care about that kind of thing anymore."

Gao Wen slowly turned around and saw only pairs of firm, yet enthusiastic eyes.

Ah Jin had a smile on his lips, and his face looked much more sunny:

"Captain, you know my life is in your hands."

Zoro, sword in hand, grinned.

"I will not leave until my swordsmanship surpasses yours, Captain. No, even if I surpass you, I will wait for the day you surpass me."

Gao Wen chuckled and shook his head helplessly.

He suddenly understood why the Box Monster, Camon, chose to stay there even after learning that the treasure he had been guarding was just an empty box and that freedom was within reach.

Camon found his one piece there.

Gawain has now been found as well.

"Then let's make a scene!"
