The Pirate Princess Becomes Queen

Although she may not be as knowledgeable as Robin, she herself is very knowledgeable. The court education she received from childhood was genuine. The twenty countries that established the World Government were all top-tier powers, and their knowledge reserves were far richer than those of the nobles in the world in the conventional sense.

She could tell at a glance that something was wrong with King; this wasn't some kind of Devil Fruit ability.

To confirm her hypothesis, she called Lao Fan: "Lao Fan, send me a copy of that rare race encyclopedia inside the World Government. Yeah, find those races that are already extinct."

Old Fan had already completed his investigation of Alabasta and was now on Enies Lobby.

He quickly found the World Government's records on genocide, but these records were only of historical significance and were not important in the practical sense.

Which country would keep information about dinosaurs as top secret? Although world governments often cover up history, information about some extinct species is not uncommon, and you can look at it freely if you want.

"Wow, what a rare race..." Vivi compared the records with Jin's photo and found that this guy came from a race called Lunaria. This race could fly and create fire. In ancient times, before the Celestial Dragons could be called gods, this race called Lunaria was the god race on the Red Line.

The World Government's secret files record that this race may have come from the moon and descended to the Red Line due to resource scarcity.

The few remaining Protoss encountered a new Protoss with an army of twenty nations. The outcome was unsurprising; neither were considered protected species. The Lunaria race was wiped out by the World Government, and now... it seems there's one survivor...

Vivi looked through the World Government's records and found that even today, the Lunaria clan is still wanted. As long as someone has a solid lead to report to the Celestial Dragons, the informant will receive a reward of 100 million Berries.

"One hundred million Berries? I definitely can't get that money, but as a concerned citizen, it's never wrong to report them, right? I can't beat them, but there are the Celestial Dragons and the Navy. If you want to wear the crown, you must bear the weight... You'll definitely help me, right? Oh ho ho ho ho—"

Weiwei's laughter echoed from inside the clinic. The key to breaking the deadlock lay with this "Brother Jin."

......

A day later, Lao Fan, under the pretext of casual conversation, talked with his boss, Spandam, who was extremely jealous of talent and whose Dao power value was only 10, about interesting stories in Alabasta.

Old Van Cleef used the Nefertari family's unique skill of "creating a friend out of thin air," fabricating a friend: "I met a friend in Alabasta, what a strange fate! That guy told me about many long-lost mysterious races..."

CP9 itself has a secret mission to capture these races, so Spandam is naturally interested.

Old Fan rambled on and on, finally getting to the crucial point: "My friend said that one of Kaido's three calamities, the Wildfire, is actually a Lunar Fiend, an ancient race. What a pity, that's Kaido! We definitely can't capture this criminal..."

He showed Spandam the documents and a photo of Jhin, which were almost identical.

Chapter 199 Celestial Dragons

The Pirate Princess Becomes King, Chapter 199: The Celestial Dragon. Although Spandam was a greedy and scheming man who rose to power through his father's connections, anyone would calm down and carefully consider the pros and cons when faced with the name Kaido, and Spandam was no exception.

Vivi had no intention of hiding Kaido and King's relationship from them, and revealed it early on.

Old Fan sighed: "...A bounty of 100 million Berries, what a pity, that's the top dog of the Beasts Pirates, the leader of the Three Disasters. We are willing but powerless, what a tragic fate."

Spandam's eyes darted around several times before he cautiously asked, "Why did your friend tell you all this? What exactly does your friend do?"

Old Fan stared in disbelief, seemingly very hesitant.

"...He, he's a bounty hunter."

Spandam looked knowing: "The bounty hunter from Alabasta? Idiot! He's Crocodile's subordinate. Crocodile sent this message, what does he want to do? He wants to use the World Government to get rid of Kaido and resolve the crisis on his behalf, what a clever scheme."

Spandam patted Old Van on the shoulder, signaling him to go back to work and not worry about what happened next.

“One hundred million Berries... an extinct race, the Lunarians..." After Old Van left, Spandam looked at Jhin’s photo repeatedly.

In terms of pure combat power, King could take on a hundred million Spandams in one go! One is level 70, the other is level 1, there's no comparison at all. But Spandam doesn't think there's any gap in strength between them. He's not good enough, he has the Celestial Dragons and the World Government behind him!

The Five Elders have a broad perspective, but Spandam doesn't. All he thinks about is profit and the ladder that will allow him to climb higher.

He believes Crocodile is using him, but this information should be absolutely true.

After careful consideration, he personally went to the Holy Land of Mary Geoise and found the Celestial Dragon, Saint Charlos.

This Celestial Dragon, with his fat face, thick lips, and snotty nose, has always been known for his stupidity. Even among the Celestial Dragons, he is considered the stupidest of the stupid, the most idiotic of all.

The 22-year-old Saint Charlos and his father, Saint Rozwald, both enjoyed collecting strong people as slaves, so Spandam reported the news of Ember to the father and son.

"A rare race? There's only one like him in the whole world?" The dim-witted Saint Charlos kept pressing Spandam for answers before he could finish speaking.

Upon receiving confirmation, he was overjoyed and turned to his father, pleading, "I want him! I want him as my slave! Send someone to bring him back! Hurry, send them quickly, I want this slave, right now!"

Wearing sunglasses and with a penchant for collecting pirate captains as slaves, Roswald Saint has some sense of self-awareness and isn't as foolish as his son.

At first, he was somewhat tempted. Who was he? He was a Celestial Dragon! Weren't the Celestial Dragons the supreme beings in the world? Who would disobey his orders? Who would dare disobey his orders!

Just have Kaido send his men over; asking him for people yourself is doing him a favor!

Would Kaido dare defy the Celestial Dragons' wishes? He thought about it seriously with his somewhat slow-witted brain, and he felt there was a chance Kaido would refuse, and most likely throw a tantrum...

He was reluctant to do it, but when he saw Jin's photo and thought that he was the only survivor of the Lunaria race, he hesitated. These days, anything with the word "only" is very tempting.

The only survivor of the Lunaria race, the only race that can fly, the only race that can create flames out of thin air without using Devil Fruits—King's photo was something that Roswald Saint liked more and more the more he looked at it.

He'd be so proud if he could capture that slave!

"Kaido... Kaido..." He was still quite wary of this name.

"Well, we've seen your loyalty. Go collect your money." Like dismissing a dog, Saint Rozwald sent Spandam away.

Spandam was quite pleased. The Celestial Dragons didn't care about 100 million Berries, but he did. He hadn't done anything, just said a few words, and he could get 100 million Berries. No matter how you looked at it, it was a great deal.

However, before leaving, he still managed to sow discord among the Crocodile. When the foolish Charles Saint was clamoring to capture the Crocodile as a slave, he politely took his leave and went to another room to get the money. One hundred million Berries! That was a huge sum of money.

He hadn't forgotten Old Van, that loyal subordinate who had been manipulated by Crocodile without realizing it. This subordinate only knew how to kill; he was utterly brainless in every other aspect! However, he still appreciated this kind of subordinate. If CP9 were full of people like this, he, as their leader, would have an easier time.

The fact that he received 100 million Berries couldn't be kept secret. Once the news spread, it was clear that he pocketed 100 million for himself, leaving none for his associates. It was utterly disheartening, yet he was unwilling to share any of the money.

After thinking it over, if we're not going to split the money, then let's give them some other benefits.

After receiving the money, he went to the research department in Mary Geoise that collected Devil Fruits and picked out a recently acquired Devil Fruit for Old Fan.

Looking at the encyclopedia, it should be the Straw-Straw Fruit. He searched through the records and found that the previous owner of the fruit was a small-time pirate in the North Blue with a bounty of only 2000 million.

He glanced at the fruit's description; it seemed to create straw, and there wasn't anything particularly special about it. He signed for it without hesitation. As the head of CP9, receiving a Devil Fruit was like receiving weapons or equipment—no money required, just a clear description of its purpose.

He returned to Enies Lobby and boasted about the benefits of the straw fruit, saying it was a benefit he had secured for his subordinates at great cost.

After finding out the purpose, Lao Fan secretly called Weiwei, and then ate the straw fruit without saying a word.

As a sniper, he tried to train survival skills such as Moonwalk and Iron Block, but his talent was not in those abilities. After practicing for almost a year, he still hadn't mastered Moonwalk, and Iron Block felt strange to use. Most of the time, he still just fired one shot and moved to another location.

Now that's great, with the Straw-Straw Fruit, dodging? Forget about it! How about a sniper with 30 lives?

......

On the afternoon of the day Spandam left, the five Celestial Dragons joined forces to find the Five Elders, demanding that they send someone to capture King.

The reason given was certainly not to capture them and enslave them so they could show off at gatherings of the other Celestial Dragons. The reason given was that King belonged to the Lunaria, and that this guy was part of the World Government and an enemy of all the Celestial Dragons.

The Five Elders were stunned!

To mislead the world and dispel doubts, King ate the Pteranodon Fruit and wore a mask for years. But his existence wasn't a secret to the Five Elders. Good grief, they're going to capture him now? Is that a stupid idea?

Chapter 200 Naval Deployment

The Pirate Princess Becomes King, Chapter 200: The Navy Mobilizes. The Five Elders knew that when Kaido was young, he was captured by scientists from the World Government to conduct experiments and extract bloodline factors. After Kaido escaped from prison, he took King, who was also an experimental subject, with him. After that, a silent young man who claimed to have eaten the Pteranodon Fruit appeared by Kaido's side. The five of them knew this very well.

However, the Celestial Dragons were well-prepared. They were unaware of the bigger picture and the importance of world balance, and they talked at length about King's hatred for the World Government.

“That guy can fly, and he’s extremely hostile to the World Government and to us gods who live in the Holy Land. What if he retaliates against us if we don’t take action?” said Roswald, the leader, with absolute certainty.

Hatred is a central theme throughout the world of One Piece, no less so than the "dream" that Luffy and Blackbeard are obsessed with.

The Five Elders wanted to say no, King had been hiding his identity for thirty years, why would he go to the Holy Land of Mary Geoise to kill someone? Was he crazy?

But they also hesitated. This Lunaria was indeed a mortal enemy of the World Government, and they had indeed slaughtered her until only one survivor remained. They even captured that last survivor and used him for insane experiments. Now you're saying Jin doesn't want revenge? You're saying he's grateful to the World Government? Thank you for killing his ancestors for eighteen generations? Nobody would believe that!

The Five Elders have a typical politician mindset, which emphasizes eliminating problems completely. They didn't care before because, as troublemakers, they had too many and complicated things to deal with. But now that the problem has been brought to the forefront, they can no longer ignore it.

King is now being heavily relied upon by Kaido. Is there a conspiracy behind this? Even the Golden Emperor and Crocodile can build up enormous power right under their noses, so what about Kaido, who's so far away? King has a grudge against the World Government, and Kaido was captured and subjected to numerous experiments years ago. Doesn't Kaido harbor resentment? Does he have no grudge against them? Things shouldn't be pondered too much; the more you think about it, the more problems arise!

The five elders studied the matter for three whole days and barely reached a consensus: to give full play to their leadership advantages, hand over the difficult problem to their subordinates, and let the navy solve it!

Upon receiving the official order from the Five Elders, Marshal Sengoku exploded on the spot.

Are you kidding me?! Go to Onigashima and bring back King, Kaido's first mate and the head of the Three Disasters?

This is basically equivalent to going to Whitebeard's side to capture Marco, or going to Big Mom's side to capture Katakuri.

Going is possible, but can I come back?

Marshal Zhan Guo looked at the three generals and said, "I'm about to retire. You young people must be brave enough to take responsibility. The navy belongs to you, and it also belongs to me, but in the end, it belongs to you!"

Kizaru bent down to clip his nails, and the only sound in Fleet Admiral Sengoku's office was the "click-click" of the nail clippers.

Aokiji looked up at the ceiling in the office, seemingly studying the fine patterns on it.

Only Akainu thought about it seriously, and even he had to admit that this matter... this matter was a little difficult!

None of the three generals are afraid of Jhin. In a one-on-one fight, as long as they fight seriously and don't hold back, they can win no matter what.

The only one to be wary of is Kaido... This is why Vivi was willing to go through a long and complicated process to find someone to deal with Kaido. Kaido, this great pirate, is in his peak condition, both mentally and physically. No matter which of the three admirals goes, they can definitely fight, but whether they can win is another question mark.

Unlike the lazy Aokiji and the slacking Kizaru, Akainu seriously considered the specific execution plan for this matter, but he still had one question.

"The Five Elders have always demanded a balance of power among the various factions, so why would they issue such a strange order?"

As for Akainu, he is not afraid of Kaido. If no one else is willing to fight, he is willing to step in. However, the current orders are clearly different from the policies of a while ago, so he finds it very strange.

Fleet Admiral Sengoku gave his subordinate a careful look. Akainu was now actually thinking from the perspective of a fleet admiral.

He said, "It should be related to the fight between the Golden Emperor and the Sand Crocodile some time ago. Mary Geoise wants to see the hidden forces of all parties."

Are the Navy and the World Government of one mind? Opinions vary. The Navy strictly follows the orders issued by the World Government and seems very obedient, but they also send Sentomaru to accompany Vegapunk to monitor the actions of the World Government's scientists, which suggests that they may have some different ideas.

The Navy's strength is too great, and the World Government is very wary of it. The strategy of recruiting the Seven Warlords of the Sea to maintain a balance of power also aims to curb the Navy's development.

After witnessing the "hidden power" of the Golden Emperor and Crocodile, the Five Elders hesitated slightly regarding their balancing strategy. They wanted to use this incident to test the Navy's true intentions, their obedience to orders, and Kaido's own capabilities. The matter of King became less important.

Akainu wasn't unaware of these things; he nodded and said, "I understand."

He looked at his two colleagues, one clipping his nails and the other staring blankly into space: "Then I'll take on this task."

I heard someone else is taking on the mission, and Kizaru has finished trimming his nails.

He said in a strange tone, "Go fight Kaido? How terrifying!"

Aokiji, who was standing to the side, also snapped out of his daze, opened his mouth, and let out a big yawn.

Akainu knew what they were thinking, and he knew that this mission was a thankless task, but he had to establish the impression that he was willing to take on heavy responsibilities for the World Government and his soldiers.

He is preparing to take over as admiral of the navy.
