After retiring from the Navy, I became a doting husband.

"Your Majesty is so beautiful!"

"Your Majesty is always right!"

...

Even those who were just loudly criticizing Hancock for hitting Gloriosa turned pink after seeing Hancock strike a pose.

However, Gloria was clearly more determined than the average person, and she recovered after being bewildered by Hancock for only a short while.

"Hancock, as the ruler of the kingdom, must consider the well-being of all the people. Amazon Lily cannot be ruined in your hands!" Amazon Lily arrived again, trying to change Hancock's mind.

“Gloriosa, this is a mandatory conscription by the World Government. If I don’t come, it will be considered defying orders, and I’ll be put on a bounty by the World Government again. That’s why Amazon Lily will be destroyed.” Hancock said with a smile. For the first time, she felt that the mandatory conscription clause in the Seven Warlords Treaty was so wise. The person who came up with such a clause was truly a genius. Thinking of this, Hancock suddenly thought of that man again, the man who had captivated her, the man who had spanked her, the man who had gotten her pregnant.

Gloriosa's face darkened again after hearing this, thinking to herself, "You care about this forced conscription? Why didn't you go when the World Government forced conscriptions were done before?"

Just as Gloriosa was about to speak again, the sky suddenly darkened, the bright white suddenly turned into night, and the whole area became pitch black. The pirate ship suddenly stopped, and then the pirate king, which had been moving forward, began to move backward.

Hancock and Gloria exchanged a glance, then quickly ran out of the cabin. Not long after they stepped out, a dazzling light suddenly shone from the sky, so intense that they had to close their eyes.

Not long after they closed their eyes, Hancock and the others heard a loud bang, followed by an immense pressure coming from the sky.

"What's going on!" Hancock cried out, feeling the pressure on her body. A bad feeling filled her heart. The bright light was coming from the direction of the Sabaody Archipelago, where the man she had been longing for was.

After the loud bang, the ships surrounding the Sabaody Archipelago were pushed away by the immense force, one after another, dozens of nautical miles away. Many more ships were not so lucky; they had just been capsized by the sea and were now slowly sinking into the ocean.

The once insurmountable red earth continent has vanished, and a huge crater has appeared on the sea. After a brief period of calm, the sea begins to surge, with large amounts of seawater rushing towards the crater. Ships that have been pushed aside can only drift with the current and be carried away by the seawater.

Only the Sabaody Archipelago remains firmly in place. Although the sea rises and falls and the waves surge, it remains as immovable as a mountain. The Yarchiman mangroves that make up the Sabaody Archipelago are like anchors that keep them in place.

As time passed, the turbulent sea gradually calmed down, and ships slowly began to move toward the Sabaody Archipelago again, but the once massive fleet was now much smaller.

"This! How is this possible!" After struggling to regain control of the naval fleet, even the usually composed Sengoku couldn't help but exclaim in surprise. He had been so busy stabilizing the fleet that he hadn't paid attention to what was happening. Now, he was discovering that the Mary Geoise region of the Red Line had disappeared.

As Sengoku exclaimed in surprise, more people noticed the situation, and the world fell silent. After the silence, chaos ensued. Messages poured out to all sides, and the massive fleet assembled by the World Government exploded and fled in all directions. Fear of the unknown made them choose to escape first.

Before long, the whole world knew that Mary Geoise was gone, the World Government was gone, and the Dragon People, whom everyone hated, were gone.

Some kings began to cheer. With the Celestial Dragons gone, they would no longer have to pay the annual tribute of gold. The fact that a large portion of the country's tax revenue was going to the tribute of gold had caused them immense suffering.

The poor merchants were also happy, as the previously high tax burden was gone. After the king learned that the Celestial Dragons had disappeared, he immediately changed the country's tax rate.

Many people cheered when they heard the news; at that moment, everyone felt as if the mountain weighing on them had disappeared.

Amid the cheers, everyone wondered, "Who was it? Who had the power to make the entire Mary Geoise, the World Government, and the Celestial Dragons vanish into thin air?" Before long, everyone knew who it was.

……

"Big news, big news! Quick, format it! I need to get this explosive news out as soon as possible!" Morgans shouted excitedly upon returning from Mary Geoise. He wanted to get the bombshell news of Garp killing the Five Elders out of the way as quickly as possible.

"Puff puff puff!"

Not long after, a large number of seagulls flew out from the news agency. As they took off, the whole world knew at that moment that it was the Navy hero Garp who stormed Mary Geoise and killed the Five Elders. So, was the disappearance of the Celestial Dragons of Mary Geoise also Garp's doing? No one doubted the accuracy of the news agency's report, because the newspaper had pictures and evidence. The photo of Garp standing in front of the Five Elders' corpses would not lie.

Moreover, Morgans, the head of the news agency, assured everyone that he had personally heard Karp say he was going to kill the Five Elders.

……

Sabaody Archipelago Naval Fleet

"Sengoku! Sengoku, listen to me! I really didn't kill the Five Elders!"

While the world was in an uproar, Garp stood meekly before Sengoku. This was the first time he had failed to assert himself in front of Sengoku. When he saw the newspaper, he knew he was carrying a heavy burden of blame.

Garp had prepared Sengoku's wrath, but he waited and waited and waited and did not see it. Instead, he saw Sengoku looking at him with a strange look.

Looking into Sengoku's eyes, Garp felt a chill run down his spine, and a bad premonition washed over him.

"My old friend, do not panic. The World Government and Kong have disappeared. No one cares whether the Five Elders are alive or dead. There is something I hope you can consider," Sengoku said slowly, stroking his beard.

When Garp heard Sengoku say this, he first breathed a sigh of relief. With the World Government and the Celestial Dragons gone, no one should be bothering him.

However, seeing Sengoku's expression, Garp felt that something was wrong and said, "Sengoku, I just remembered. My grandson is thinking of going to sea. I have to go home and keep an eye on him. I can't let that kid do anything reckless."

Garp was about to slip away when Sengoku grabbed him.

"My friend, with the World Government gone and order broken, conflicts are escalating around the world, and pirates are running rampant. Those defenseless civilians need our righteous navy to help and rescue them. Can you just stand by and watch civilians being slaughtered? Now is the time for us to uphold justice," Sengoku said earnestly.

Karp was completely confused, thinking, "What does this have to do with me? Upholding justice is your business. I'm retired, okay?"

When Sengoku saw Garp looking completely bewildered, he slapped his forehead, thinking that he had really talked to a brick wall. So he picked up the newspaper and said, "After this newspaper was published, we received a lot of requests for help from many countries. They hope that you can stand up and lead the world to rebuild order. You are now even revered by them as the King of Heroes, Garp, and their savior."

"King of Heroes!" Garp's mouth gaped open, and he let out an incredulous cry.

"No, no, I don't want to be the King of Heroes!" Garp saw Sengoku's shining eyes, waved his hands and loudly refused. The title of King of Heroes reminded him of his grandson's constant clamor to be the Pirate King.

Sengoku's secret talks with Garp began, the content of which was nothing more than his son, grandson, and so on...

Sengoku smiled upon hearing Garp's words, but his hands did not pause for a moment. He loudly commanded towards the door, "Bring in our Hero King to change his clothes!"

Following Sengoku's command, a large group of people entered and began dressing up Garp. No matter how uncooperative Garp was, he finally appeared before everyone wearing a specially made naval uniform.

Sengoku originally thought that his revenge would never be realized. Although he had his own sense of justice, he could only obey the orders of the former World Government and do some heartbreaking things. Now was the best time for the Navy to carry out justice.

……

Not long after, another major news story broke: former naval hero Garp, responding to the call of various governments, led the navy and governments of various countries to establish a joint naval government, dedicated to world peace and upholding world justice.

Morgans looked dejected. He had thought it was big news and that he would become famous again, but no one cared about the death of the Five Elders. He felt a lot of pressure looking at the new government established by the Navy.

"King of Heroes!"

Dragon looked at the newspaper in his hand, his face full of melancholy. As the leader of the Revolutionary Army, he took it upon himself to overthrow the World Government, but now the big boss of the World Government had become his own old man.

"Captain, we are free!" shouted two men on a red boat as they faced the sea.

Hospital

VIP ward

"Don't worry, even though we don't know each other, I will raise our child well and ensure he grows up happily!"

Martin woke up groggily, trying to open his eyes but unable to, when he suddenly heard a soft whisper in his ear.

"Our child? When did I have a child? I'm not even married yet!"

"Drip drip drip drip!"

As Martin was lost in thought, a loud alarm sounded.

"Oh!"

Martin seemed to hear a door close, and shortly afterward he heard a lot of footsteps.

Then Martin heard someone shouting loudly, "Dr. Wang! Dr. Wang, come to the hospital quickly! The vegetative patient in ward number 1 has woken up!"

"Yes, yes, yes! It's that super handsome one!"

[Epilogue: Some readers will surely ask why my writing is different from before? Why the plot has completely changed direction? Actually, changing the writing approach was something I personally didn't want to do. It's where subscriptions come from; after all, I know what kind of content readers like, and it's also where my royalties come from. But the censors are very strict, so I had no choice but to change my writing approach. The subject matter is very limited; a slight mistake could lead to utter ruin. The later parts can be said to have taken a completely different path, causing significant plot changes, but at the cost of avoiding censorship. I'm afraid of being censored and having my work cut, so I chickened out and sped up the completion time.]

This ending is one of the uncontrollable factors, I suppose. [I'm relatively lucky; I'm grateful to the reviewers for being lenient and not letting this book die in its cradle. It survived, but it became the last thing I wanted to see.]

[In addition, since voice typing is used, the typing speed will be greatly improved. The trade-off is that there will be problems with typos and sentence fluency. I apologize to everyone.]

[Special thanks to all the readers who have tipped and subscribed to this book. Thank you for your support. If it weren't for you, I might have been banned immediately after the book was released.]
