"Buru~~~"
"Buru~~~"
The Den Den Mushi rang.
Arthur picked up the receiver and calmly asked,
"Has the war in Visma begun?"
"Yes, Your Majesty."
"The Flying Pirates have deployed their entire fleet to attack the Visma Region. Lord Gareth, Lord Gaheris, and the Roger Pirates have already engaged them. Based on the current situation, victory should belong to us."
"Mm."
Arthur listened quietly, as if everything had unfolded exactly as he expected.
"Continue monitoring."
"And rember."
"If defeat becos likely—"
"Authorize the use of that weapon."
"Understood!"
"Buru~~~"
The Den Den Mushi went silent.
Arthur stood with his hands behind his back, his dragon-like crimson eyes sharp as he sank into thought. No matter what, so matters were not to be taken lightly.
"Your Majesty."
Kay spoke thoughtfully.
"The battle in the Visma Region is completely within our expectations. The Flying Pirates' involvent was always part of the plan."
Arthur nodded.
"That man Shiki wouldn't miss this opportunity. He's always taken a keen interest in . And likewise—if he has a chance to crush , he certainly won't hold back."
Rubbing his temples slightly, Arthur murmured,
"For now, the Visma Region appears stable. There shouldn't be any major issues."
Kay still remained cautious.
"We should stay vigilant. Even if it's unlikely that more forces will join the battle in Visma, we can't be certain how well prepared the enemy truly is."
Arthur nodded.
"You're right."
"Kay, send orders to Visma. If any unexpected developnts occur…"
A sharp light flashed in Arthur's eyes.
Over the past six months, Arthur had worked with his elder sister and Tom to develop an extrely powerful weapon—one with terrifying destructive power.
Kay nodded seriously.
"No problem. However, the probability of changes in Visma remains low. Right now, the key lies with Fish-Man Island…"
"As long as Fish-Man Island holds, everything else won't be a problem."
Kay was absolutely right.
Attacking Britannia's mainland directly was actually the worst possible option. Destroying Britannia in one strike was extrely difficult.
The best strategy was to weaken Britannia gradually.
And now—
Visma was holding.
If Shiki didn't lose outright, that alone would already be fortunate for him.
That left:
Fish-Man Island.
Then—
Prison Island.
This war had an extrely long front. If any single location collapsed, the consequences would be enormous.
This was a war capable of reshaping the entire New World.
Arthur exhaled slowly.
Failure—
was not an option.
---
Fish-Man Island, Ryugu Palace.
Gawain entered swiftly.
King Neptune and Queen Otohi looked at him in surprise.
"Sir Gawain, has sothing happened?"
Gawain spoke seriously.
"King Neptune, Queen Otohi—begin evacuation preparations imdiately."
"The Visma Region has already entered war. The Flying Pirates launched an attack there. If nothing unexpected occurs, Fish-Man Island will be attacked soon."
"What?!"
Neptune was stunned.
"Left Minister! Right Minister! Begin evacuation imdiately!"
"Yes!"
The ministers hurried away.
Queen Otohi looked slightly nervous.
"Sir Gawain… the war…"
Gawain smiled confidently.
"Your Majesty, please rest assured. Victory will belong to us."
"I will never abandon Fish-Man Island."
"If anyone wishes to seize Fish-Man Island…"
"They will have to step over my corpse."
His words were resolute.
Over the past six months, Gawain had co to deeply respect Queen Otohi. She represented the spirit of Fish-Man Island itself.
"I understand."
Queen Otohi nodded gently.
"I'll leave everything to you."
"Leave it to ."
Gawain turned and departed.
Neptune and Otohi exchanged glances.
If Gawain fell—
only despair would remain.
...
Outside the palace.
"Yo, Gawain."
Soone leaned casually against a wall.
"You confident? The Visma battle is already intense. Fish-Man Island might face sothing even worse."
Gawain's eyes sharpened.
"I will show the world…"
"The strength of the Sun Knight Corps."
The Sun Knight Corps was Britannia's most elite knight corps.
Fish-Man Island—
would beco a forbidden zone.
Soon after...
"Lord Gawain!"
"Lord Gawain!"
Fisher Tiger, Max, and the ten Fish-Man Captains gathered.
Gawain spoke firmly.
"Visma has stabilized. But the war has only just begun."
"Fish-Man Island will soon face an attack."
Everyone nodded seriously.
They understood.
Fish-Man Island would beco one of the war's core battlefields.
Gawain ordered:
"Prepare for war."
"Yes!"
10 Fish-Man Captains
Each commands 1,000 soldiers.
Each 1,000 divided into 10 squads of 100.
Commanded by Fisher Tiger and Max.
After six months of training, Tiger had grown rapidly into a capable commander.
Tiger asked:
"Teacher, there are three routes into Fish-Man Island. Which direction will the enemy attack from?"
Max thought briefly.
"Grand Line."
"They'll attack where we least expect."
Tiger nodded.
"Understood."
---
Outside, Pirate fleets gathered.
Dozens, Hundreds.
Each ship packed with pirates.
They waited, eyes filled with madness.
Then—
"Attack!"
"ROAR!"
The battle suddenly ignited full force.
Pirates landed from three ports simultaneously.
The invasion had begun.
But—
The Sun Knight Corps moved.
Only 2,000 knights.
Against 20,000 pirates.
Yet—
They crushed them.
Completely.
"Are they monsters?!" A surviving pirate trembled.
The Sun Knights advanced fearlessly.
Unhard and unstoppable.
They were on a completely different level.
Slash—
The pirate that spoke died instantly.
The Sun Knights showed no emotion. Only absolute loyalty to the king.
Anyone opposing the King... would pay with their lives.
One-sided slaughter.
Even when pirates regrouped, they were still pushed back.
The gap in strength was overwhelming.
Across the sea, everyone watching was stunned.
In just six months—
the Sun Knight Corps had grown into sothing terrifying.
Unbelievable!
The war, there can only be one winner.
