The pinnacle of pirates begins with deceiving fate!

As the sea stone shackles were removed, Morgan immediately felt his weakened body regain its strength and quickly raised his hand to pull out the iron spikes that were stuck in his joints.

Just as Morgan raised his right hand, about to touch his left shoulder, powerful currents suddenly surged from the iron spikes inserted into his joints.

Under the stimulation of the electric current, the body uncontrollably lay on the ground, and even raised its right leg to scratch its ear like a cat.

"Damn it! What the hell is this thing?!"

Morgan was terrified, regretting that when the iron spike pierced him, he was extremely weak due to the influence of the Seastone and unable to use Armament Haki to defend himself.

What's even more infuriating is that even though I can now use Armament Haki, that damned iron spike is still inside my body, and I still can't defend against it!

"Ah...meow, meow!"

"Woof...woof woof woof!"

"Mea~"

Before Morgan could find a way to break the deadlock, his throat muscles began to move uncontrollably, causing him to emit strange animal cries.

Then he stood up and stumbled as he ran out of the prison.

Outside the prison, two marines on guard heard something amiss inside and were taking out their keys to open the door when the heavy iron door was suddenly pushed open from the inside with a loud bang.

Just as the two marines were about to be crushed into a bloody pulp by the heavy iron door, the metal buckles on their belts pulled them to the left and right, sparing them from death.

Immediately afterwards, they saw Morgan, a prisoner covered in blood, rush out of the door and head straight for one of them.

Morgan straddled the fallen marine and slapped him repeatedly across the face with both hands, muttering something under his breath.

"You insulted me! I'll teach you to insult me!"

After slapping the sailor's head until it was swollen like a pig's, Morgan suddenly stood up and turned to look at another sailor.

The marine was so frightened that he quickly flipped the rifle he was carrying over his back and started firing at Morgan while shouting at the top of his lungs.

"Enemy attack! Enemy attack!"

As the bullet hurtled toward him, Morgan hastily unleashed the only power he could muster at the moment, "Overbearing Aura," only to find that the bullet strangely deflected and flew to the side when it was just one centimeter away from him.

It was as if an invisible round shield was protecting him.

Then, Morgan started a game of slapping anyone he saw in the training ground...

Base Commander's Office

John's left hand moved his fingers, and with the "bang bang" of gunfire echoing from the training ground outside, he seemed like a symphony conductor.

"I'm not a narrow-minded person. I'll let you suffer a little physical pain and then spare your lives."

After muttering something, John looked up at Burns, who was lying on the ground with the dog, and a sinister smile crept across his face.

"Hero, it's your turn to step onto the stage!"

"Wang Wang Wang!"

Burns barked, stood up, crashed through the wall, and jumped directly from the fifth floor.

"It's Colonel Burns! We're saved!"

"Colonel, watch out! This Morgan is incredibly strong; he's completely immune to bullets!"

"Where's John? Call John over here quickly! The colonel might not be a match for Morgan!"

With the arrival of the base's highest-ranking officer, the marines, whose heads had been slapped into a pig's head, breathed a sigh of relief and finally had the leisure to speak up and offer a reminder.

'Damn it! Even at a time like this, you're still thinking about John! That guy orchestrated all of this!'

Burns roared inwardly, but his body was out of control, and he raised his fist and charged at Morgan.

'Burns! It's all your doing!'

When he saw Burns coming, Morgan cursed inwardly that the guy was ungrateful and thought that the other party was manipulating everything.

His body moved uncontrollably, and he raised his fist to meet Burns' attack.

boom

The two men's fists clashed, but an invisible electromagnetic shield created a tiny gap from which azure lightning burst forth.

It was as intense as a clash of Conqueror's Haki!

As lightning surged and roared across the training ground, the marines collapsed one after another, convulsing and falling into a coma.

It wasn't the Conqueror's Haki that stunned them, but rather the electric shock.

In a corner of the training ground, Reed, enduring the numbness in his body, picked up a Den Den Mushi to call John for help, only to find that the Den Den Mushi had fainted and was unusable.

"Damn it, how did Morgan break free of the seastone restraints?"

"No, I have to go find John right away!"

Reed couldn't help but recall the scene not long ago when John and Sabrina went to the luxurious manor together, and cursed inwardly that the guy was probably indulging in a sweet romance right now.

"The base is about to explode, but that guy is having a blast. It's so unfair!"

Just as Reed was cursing and running towards the school gate, a bolt of lightning struck him on the forehead, causing him to fall straight down.

"Get some sleep, kids shouldn't meddle in adult matters!"

Burns and Morgan gave a strange laugh in unison, then rushed out of the training ground one after the other and headed towards the town at the foot of the hill.

Isaiah Chamber of Commerce Headquarters

Inside the Baroque building constructed of limestone, Isaiah and his son dismissed their servants and stood facing each other, arguing angrily.

"Who gave you the right to act on your own and attack that navy officer? Do you know how much benefit his existence brings to our family!"

"I don't care! He took Sabrina away, I'm going to kill him!"

"You idiot! You didn't even realize you were being used by old Shields!"

Snapped

The father, Campbell, raised his hand and slapped his son, Hughes, so angry at his son's lack of ambition that he almost had a heart attack.

He only found out about the Chamber of Commerce colluding with pirates to kill the Navy afterward; before that, it was all this unfilial son's doing.

What's most hateful is that this unfilial son couldn't see the immense value that the navy brought to the Isaiah family in the current situation.

His sister Isaiah Taylor is indeed the Queen of the Kingdom of Leon, but she is currently facing a huge political crisis.

The current king is frail and sickly, and doctors predict he has at most three years to live, while his younger brother, the Grand Councilor, is as strong as an ox.

Unfortunately, the prince born to his sister was only fifteen years old, an underage boy with no power to contend for the throne.

Starting two years ago, the Grand Councilor offered the bait of a marriage alliance, hoping that the mayor of Shells would help restrain the Isaiah family.

In the past two years, the Isaiah family has been overwhelmed by driving out the foreign Felos and engaging in open and covert struggles with old Shells, leaving them with no intention of helping Queen Taylor in the palace.

Fortunately, the sun god intervened, and a while ago a navy man appeared and got involved with old Shields' daughter, Sabrina...

If the marriage alliance can be dissolved as a result, then the Isaiah family will no longer be controlled by old Shells and will be able to free up their resources to help Queen Taylor win over more nobles.

Once that prince's nephew ascends the throne, the Isaiah family will reach the pinnacle of power in the Kingdom of Leon!

It's infuriating that this foolish son would disregard the family's great cause for the sake of a woman!

Snapped

Campbell grew angrier and angrier, and raised his hand to slap his son across the face again.

But when he saw tears welling up in his son's eyes, his heart softened, and he reached out to stroke his face, soothing him in a low voice.

"Don't rush. Once we succeed, we'll have plenty of opportunities to kill that navy officer."

"Father……"

Just as the father and son were deeply moved, screams, wails, gunshots, and buildings collapsing came from the streets outside the Chamber of Commerce headquarters.

The two walked to the lobby of the residence and looked in the direction from which the sound came from the street, where they saw a scene that was hard to understand.

The two figures fought fiercely, their fists and feet colliding and creating violent shockwaves that dented and damaged the houses, buildings, and street vendors along their path.

It was like two human bulldozers; the civilians screamed and fled in terror, while the gang members who fired shots to stop them were either killed or maimed by the aftershocks.

It was clearly a chaotic brawl, but it seemed to deliberately avoid ordinary civilians and specifically target gang members dressed in black suits.

"Oh no! Run!"

Seeing the two fighting and moving toward the camp, Campbell was terrified and grabbed his son Hughes, running in the other direction.

"Father, if I'm not mistaken, one of them is Morgan, right? How did he escape?"

"Perhaps this is all an act."

As he fled, Campbell's eyes gleamed, and a terrible hypothesis surfaced in his mind.

He knew that Morgan and Burns were in cahoots, and that the two of them fighting in town was likely an attempt to lure the navy officer away so they could kill him together.

Incidentally, silence him, the one who knows the truth!

"These two are insane! Don't they realize the consequences of their actions?!"

Campbell's face contorted in rage, and he gritted his teeth, running even faster with all his might.

They also increasingly crave power!

In the minds of many nobles and those in power like Campbell, even the most terrifying power must submit to authority; the Celestial Dragons' ability to command Marine Admirals at will is the best example.

They don't understand that the essence of power comes from strength; they only think that power is everything in the world.

"We must ensure that your brother inherits the throne!"

"Yes! I know..."

Hearing his father's strong desire, Hughes became even more determined to marry Sabrina, hoping to win over old Shields to contribute to the family.

But as he nodded emphatically, a sudden spray of warm blood mist sprayed onto his face.

Immediately afterwards, his father, who was beside him, took his hand, and the hand suddenly became very heavy.

Suddenly dragged, Hughes stumbled and fell to the ground, but he ignored the pain and looked in his father's direction.

What came into view was his father's headless, mangled body, with blood still gushing from his neck.
