One Piece: So What If I Sin, Lie, and Lust? I'm Still a Good Marine Chương 894 Volume 4 – Chapter 413: The Leader's Inauguration

Chương 894: Chapter 894: Volu 4 – Chapter 413: The Leader's Inauguration Ceremony!?

Zephyr took the chanical arm from Momonga, a spark of barely contained excitent and delight flashing in his eyes.

For soone of his caliber—one of the mightiest figures to ever sail these seas—losing an arm wasn't exactly a setback. For a soldier, scars weren't just marks of pain; they were marks of honor.

Still, Zephyr had to admit, ever since he lost his arm, close-quarters combat had felt... off. Not in terms of raw power, but in terms of how awkward and inconvenient it had beco.

Oddly enough, ever since he chose to confront the World Governnt and face his inner pain and fear head-on, his Haki had beco stronger than ever. It was as if, for much of his life, sothing invisible had shackled him—restraining his strength, stifling his will.

Now, he felt liberated. 1

He could finally fight the way he wanted. Freely. Without hesitation.

And with the overwhelming power of the Fuwa Fuwa no Mi on top of that, Zephyr realized that, even with one arm gone, his overall combat strength hadn't declined—it had climbed higher.

Now, standing before him was the "Battle Smasher"—a chanical arm built to eliminate the discomfort and limitations caused by his loss.

With this at his side, Zephyr had no doubt: he could reach new heights.

That thought made his eyes burn brighter, filled with renewed resolve and anticipation for the battles yet to co.

"This design ca from Daren. He asked to contact Germa 66 and have it developed," Momonga explained, nodding. "All its functions have been tested and verified—no tampering."

Seeing Zephyr's satisfied expression, Momonga couldn't help but smile with pride.

"This is a gift I truly appreciate!" Zephyr let out a hearty laugh.

He accepted the chanical arm without hesitation.

He was a man of principle, not a stubborn fool.

And given his relationship with Daren and Momonga, there was never any need for formalities.

A warm feeling surged quietly in Zephyr's chest. From the design to the form to its capabilities, this chanical arm was tailored perfectly to his needs. There was no doubt that Daren and Momonga had poured serious ti and care into its creation.

Momonga smiled and nodded again.

"As long as you like it, Zephyr-sensei."

"Hey, hey!" Tokikake suddenly leaned in, eyes gleaming with curiosity.

"Is it true that the leader of the God's Knights is dead? Was it really that Daren guy who did it?"

The mont he asked, everyone fell silent and leaned in, ears pricked, waiting for Momonga's reply.

Momonga gave a helpless sigh.

"Who else could it be?" 1

Hissss—! 1

Everyone gasped in unison, eyes going wide in shock.

Tokikake's jaw nearly hit the floor.

Sure, after what Zephyr had hinted at earlier, he'd ntally prepared himself. But hearing it directly from Momonga still left him stunned.

That was the leader of the God's Knights!

The most powerful—and mysterious—figure among the Celestial Dragons!

Zephyr shook his head with a deep sigh.

"That kid Daren… he's really co a long way."

He had never doubted that Daren was a genius—a monster, even.

But to think that he could defeat the leader of the God's Knights in a one-on-one fight?

Zephyr had once encountered Michael, the leader of the God's Knights, back when he still held the title of Marine Admiral.

He rembered it clearly.

That silver-haired Celestial Dragon had radiated one thing above all else—pure, terrifying danger.

"He sure got off easy, but now I'm stuck cleaning up the ss."

Momonga rubbed his temples with a sigh, clearly exasperated.

"Oh?"

Zephyr's interest was instantly piqued.

He'd always been curious about the North Blue Fleet.

Back in the day, the flying fleet led by the infamous Golden Lion Shiki had placed enormous pressure on the Marines, sending the upper ranks into chaos. And now, with the North Blue Fleet's audacious bombing of Mary Geoise, the world had once again witnessed the terror of airborne warfare.

With Zephyr now wielding the power to make warships float, he too had the potential to one day replicate Shiki's feat—perhaps even levitate entire islands.

In short, he already had the foundation for forming a new flying fleet.

But building a fleet from scratch was no easy task. No matter how strong Zephyr was, he'd never done sothing like this before.

If he could learn from the experience of the North Blue Fleet, borrow so of their thods and systems, it could save him a lot of ti—and even more headaches.

"The World Governnt is in a rush to prepare for the inauguration ceremony to fill the vacant seat of the God's Knights' leader."

As the topic turned serious, so did Momonga's expression.

"Each of the mber Nations is sending representatives to Mary Geoise for the event. That ans there's been a lot of movent in the Governnt's fleets."

"The Marines are also deploying escort ships for the mber Nations. The seas have been especially busy these past few days."

"Even though this has little to do with the North Blue, which is no longer part of the mber Nations' political system, with this scale of military mobilization, I have to stay alert."

In truth, he also knew that Dragon's Freedom Fighters were planning to spark revolts in three of the mber Nations on the day of the inauguration.

But he didn't say a word more.

That was confidential military intel. Even if Zephyr-sensei wasn't exactly an outsider, Momonga couldn't go around spilling secrets.

"…Inauguration ceremony…"

Zephyr frowned slightly and murmured,

"Looks like this new leader of the God's Knights is one ambitious man…"

Momonga nodded.

"Yes. Figarland Garling, winner of the God Valley Hunting Tournant twelve years ago… According to Daren, he's even more dangerous than the last one—Saint Michael." 1

Zephyr fell into thought, his voice low.

"His Conqueror's Haki… is formidable." 1

"Even stronger than Sengoku's."

Compared to Admiral Sengoku…

Sothing seed to cross Momonga's mind, and the corner of his mouth twitched slightly.

"Who's going to be the deputy leader of the God's Knights?"

Zephyr asked suddenly.

Momonga's face twisted into sothing downright bizarre.

He hesitated for a mont before finally answering:

"Donquixote Doflamingo." 1

Doflamingo?

Zephyr blinked, stunned.

"The governnt's actually taking Doflamingo back?"

"That vicious little pirate?"

Momonga just shrugged.

And quietly thought to himself, "That 'vicious little pirate' happens to be the godson of your favorite student."
