Chương 964: Chapter 964: Volu 4 – Chapter 483: As You Wish

At that mont, watching Saint Figarland Garling's confident figure, clearly preparing for a major move, Doflamingo-sama could barely suppress a laugh.

If this newly appointed captain—and the Five Elders—knew that the very target they were about to declare war on had already secretly infiltrated the Holy Land of Mary Geoise… what would their reaction be?

Doflamingo felt his heart rate quicken, a bead of sweat forming in his palm.

This sensation...

Was it excitent? 1

He paused, then his smile deepened.

He suddenly realized he was experiencing a long-forgotten, pure joy!

So, Godfather, is this the greatest pleasure?

Standing on absolute neutral ground, observing the shifting tides of the situation.

The pleasure from holding the position of Vice Commander of the God's Knights didn't even co close to this level of exhilaration.

This was truly sothing to look forward to.

"Greetings to all the representatives from the World Governnt's mber Nations, and to those watching this inauguration ceremony via video-Den Den Mushi."

As Doflamingo's thoughts raced, Figarland Garling spoke slowly, under the watchful gaze of thousands.

His crimson crescent-shaped hairstyle shimred in the sunlight, yet it paled beside the captivating, confident smile on his face. 1

"I am Saint Figarland Garling, born into the Figarland family of the Holy Land, Mary Geoise. I am deeply grateful to the Five Elders for placing their trust in and granting this opportunity to shoulder the responsibility of leading the God's Knights."

"As is widely known, over the past half-year, this world has witnessed nurous events—so capable of causing imnse upheaval, altering countless destinies, and redirecting the very currents of history."

"A violent uprising has brought catastrophic disaster upon the sacred land of 'Mary Geoise' itself."

"Even the North Blue, once subject to the World Governnt's jurisdiction, has now openly declared its secession from the World Governnt's affiliated mber Nations."

"...All of this has dealt an extrely heavy blow to the governnt."

Figarland Garling maintained an elegant, refreshing smile, but his words sent a chill through the hearts of all present—representatives of mber Nations, rchant guild masters, nobles, journalists, and other attendees.

Though no one dared speak it aloud, it was well known that every Celestial Dragon noble was an incredibly proud and arrogant being, completely unable to tolerate failure, setbacks, or regrets.

So, while the World Economic News Agency continued to recklessly report the World Governnt's "setbacks" and "defeats," other news organizations, factions, and even mber Nations across the seas dared not openly address these matters, fearful of retaliation from the governnt and Celestial Dragons.

Figarland Garling's public acknowledgnt, however, stirred a sense of unease in everyone's hearts.

"This is the destruction of world order, the collapse of the peaceful frawork."

Figarland Garling's tone suddenly turned cold, his voice stern, filled with a murderous intensity.

"It is common knowledge that for eight hundred years since the World Governnt's founding, world peace has been safeguarded."

"Through the Treaty of mber Nations, people of different nations, cultures, and races have lived freely, equally, amicably, and peacefully upon these seas."

"This was the very purpose for which the twenty great 'Kings' resolved to establish the World Governnt—peace!"

"Those twenty great and wise 'Kings' undoubtedly succeeded!"

"For the past eight hundred years, any nation that joined the World Governnt's mber Nations system has had its sovereignty and the safety of its people protected by the World Governnt's formidable military might. They've been free from the mire of war, and no large-scale conflicts have arisen!"

"Conversely, those nations and islands that refused to join the mber Nations system have been trapped in poverty, calamity, and endless warfare!"

"The sacred, righteous governnt offered them a chance, yet they failed to value it."

"But now!"

Figarland Garling suddenly swung his arm forcefully, his white-gloved hand slicing through the air, creating a thunderous crack that sent chills down the spines of all those present.

"Our hard-won peace has been utterly destroyed by one man's ambition!"

"He embezzled taxes that were ant to be submitted to the World Governnt, taxes that should have been used to maintain peace, and used them as the foundation for his own ambitions, forming a terrifying, bloodthirsty, violent, war-mongering army!"

"He used sweet words and threats to incite the nations of the North Blue to withdraw from the World Governnt's alliance!"

"He brutally slaughtered the great World Nobles, showing complete disrespect for the Celestial Dragons who have achieved unparalleled feats!"

"He even sent out his fleet, launching inhumane slaughter and bombardnt against Mary Geoise—a paradise in the eyes of countless people, a sanctuary of peace!"

Saint Figarland Garling's words grew harsher with each sentence, his tone increasingly filled with murderous intent. His voice sent a chilling silence through the crowd.

It also sent shockwaves across the world.

So… everything printed in the newspapers was true!

There was no exaggeration, no rumors—everything was as it was reported, and it certainly wasn't just so gossip from the World Economic News Agency!

"The peace and order we worked so hard to establish are now in tatters!"

"Countless young and promising warriors have died unjustly!"

"The entire world has been living in constant unease under the shadow and terror of that North Blue Fleet!"

"That man—he has stolen our peace, our economy, our stability, and the hard-earned sense of security we had built!"

"And at this mont, all of this... must stop imdiately!"

Saint Figarland Garling's voice grew even more impassioned. Paired with his perfect appearance and commanding presence, his words beca an irresistible force, stirring everyone in the room.

"I, Figarland Garling, stand here today to assu the supre authority of the God's Knights..."

He placed his hand on the hilt of his sword and slowly drew it from its sheath.

"To proclaim a ssage that every nation, every city, every island, and every soul in this world shall hear..."

He raised the sword with one hand, pointing its tip directly toward the sky. His aura surged, growing ever stronger.

"From this day forward, we shall govern this world by entirely new rules;"

"From this day forward, we shall use every ans necessary to uphold world peace."

"From this day forward, we will strengthen the Alliance of mber Nations, forge new alliances, and unite all forces to confront the terror and threat represented by the North Blue Fleet... We will wipe it from these peaceful seas."

"In the na of the Commander of the God's Knights, I declare: From this day forward, we will resolve with unwavering determination!"

He took a deep breath, his voice resonating powerfully:

"Make the World Governnt great again! Make the Celestial Dragons great again!" 2

"Which ans—"

Surveying the entire assembly with unshakable authority, he swung his greatsword with force.

"At this mont, the World Governnt... officially declares war on the North Blue Fleet."

"The God's Knights officially declares war on Rogers Daren!"

"Until one side is destroyed!"

His words hit like a nuclear bomb, plunging the world into a montary silence, as if the entire world had stopped.

Before anyone could react, a voice suddenly broke the silence, coming from a distant horizon.

"Is that so?"

In that instant,

Cobra froze.

King Riku froze.

All the representatives of the mber Nations froze.

The Five Elders froze.

Figarland Garling froze.

Every single person in the room, indeed, the entire world, froze.

The next second, that familiar voice, tinged with a faint amusent, rang out once more.

"Then so be it."
