Chapter 39
Title: Curing Raynare
….
"Zehahahaha!!" Blackbeard laughs out loudly. His laugh rang through the dungeons like a booming roar. "You are in deep trouble, wanna join my crew? I will take care of your troubles for you!"
"Nah, I will take care of my problems myself," Max smirked. "What kind of guy lets other people deal with problems for him?"
Blackbeard's smile widened even more. "That's true, now I want you even mor...
Chapter 72
Title: Daily Reminder...
…
The incident of the Lightning Sage's death shook the Wayne Kingdom. He had been the pillar supporting the Royal Family. One man like him had a very high value and was the biggest pillar that held the Royal Family's power over the Wayne Kingdom.
His death was like opening the cage of the hungry wolves all around the Kingdom. Now everyone would want to rule this place. Hell, even the Heavenly Dem...
Chapter 38
Title: Compromise...
….
Conqueror's Haki, something that only those with the will of a King and a Conqueror could have. I never put too much emphasis on it, nor did I keep my hopes up that this body or my will was that strong.
Sure, I was a King (literally) but that didn't mean someone that was a King had King's Haki.
Though this was a welcome surprise, it will help in the future. Even now it would help ...
Chapter 71
Title: Change...
….
"Oh, ~ is that so? So you want to make an enemy out of me? That would be pretty stupid of you." Camilla’s voice could touch his nerves, but Alex kept a straight face through the whole ordeal.
Unlike the Lightning Sage who relied on instincts to sense unseen danger, Camilla was purely logical. She knew that certain things could escape pure instincts, no matter how refined the instincts were, even...
Chapter 37
Title: Friends or Enemies?
…
Blackbeard spent a couple more days in Max's castle, and ever since the beginning, there were no guards, nor any restraint on him. The Pirate could move about and leave whenever he wanted.
Still, though, this made Blackbeard feel even more uncomfortable. There was something about Max that made even him feel strange like the kid knew more than he should. It was an instinct that kept buzzing on the bac...
Chapter 36
Title: Fight against Blackbeard!!
…
"Zehahahahahah!!" Blackbeard laughed. "You still have that spunk on you! Wanna join my crew?"
"Nah, I ain't really the follower type. Plus I am a Marine," I argued back, joining him wouldn't be so bad. But sadly I had other plans.
Blackbeard looked conflicted at that and pointed at the sea. "Look man, Burgess just fell in the water with his skull open like a watermelon. So...
Chapter 35
Title: Plan B!!!
…
Max then went with Plan B and the cannons shot at Blackbeard's ship-sized raft. The cannons did no damage as a dark shadow curtain made by Blackbeard swallowed the projectiles.
'Just as expected.' – thought Max, a small smirk appearing on his face. He knew that fighting Blackbeard head-on would be amounting to suicide on his part. Not only could Blackbeard neutralize his Devil Fruit, but the pirate also had ...
Chapter 70
Title: A Feast of Deer...
…
At the same time, Alex who was inside the dark cocoon smirked. He could sense what was going on outside, and wondered if this would spark a war between the Wayne Kingdom and Camilla? With the latter already fighting against the Holy Kingdom, then fighting against another Kingdom would ruin her chances of victory. Especially since the Holy Kingdom has the support of quite some Gods who can send their avatars for supp...
Chapter 34
Title: Awakening...
…
Blackbeard looked at Drum island. His raft-like boat getting closer and closer to its destination. “Zehahahaha, what an unassuming place. One would never assume that the best doctors in this world reside here.”
A big man with a wrestler’s mask that covers his upper face comes next to Blackbeard. “Captain, what should we do in case the place resists our advances?”
That was when another t...
Chapter 33
Title: 'Cooperation'
…
Hearing that someone from the World Government was coming to 'check' on me, Max wasn't surprised. He did just take over a Kingdom after all. Though no one could say that did something illegal, so it was a general gray area on that part.
This world wasn't so much different in that area. Though of course, the whole slave thing was different. But still, there is one rule that would be true. The laws were made for the...
Chapter 69
Title: Consequences...
….
The Lightning Sage looked at Alex with contempt. He had checked and done an investigation, and saw that there was perfect evidence of the Sword Mountain Sect being a secret Demonic Sect.
But that was also suspicious, the evidence was too perfect, almost like someone planted it.
If the case went to the Supreme Judges, then no such thing as the evidence being too perfect existed. Plus no one woul...
Chapter 32
Title: Drum Kingdom Takeover...
————
[Max POV]
Anyone with common sense could see that I was committing crimes worse than most pirates.
But that would be different if I changed the words that described my actions. After all, I just confiscated stolen wealth, executed criminals who resisted law enforcement, and I even saved a Kingdom. The way one said it made all the difference, it could make me...
Chapter 31
Title:
…
Still, though, Max returned the rudeness a thousand times over. And everyone was shocked at his action, even Wapol was left agape at the action.
"Why you looking at me like that, jackass? You want me to be your daddy or something? You look like you need a daddy," added Max.
This was the final nail in the coffin as Wapol became enraged. "Men!! Kill him!!"
Chess and Kuromari...
Chapter 30
Title: Drum Kingdom...
…
It didn't take Max even two weeks to get to the destination he had been hoping to arrive at. He looked at the snowy towers that shot us on the winter island of the Drum Kingdom and he smirked.
This was amazing. Every time he saw Wonders like this he became even more entranced with this world. Max sat down on the deck of his ship, with his feet dangling toward the water.
Raynare flew up to keep a...
Chapter 29
Title: Sleepless Nights...
…
It didn't take long for Max's new ship to finish building, and it was three times the size of the average marine battleship.
The ship was massive, and last night had the finishing touches put on it. As Kaku and Blueno packed their things and got ready to go on the ship after thanking Iceburg and the rest of the company.
Still though, as Kaku gave a handshake to Lucci the man tugged and pulle...
Chapter 28
Title: Assassin's Creed...
…
In a well-furnished office, I looked at the man with blue hair in front of me seriously. This guy was someone I could count on to do a good job.
"I want the best wood for my ship," I got straight to the point. "Price won't be an issue. Though I would like to keep it under two billion Beri."
He looked a little surprised at the budget, well confiscating wealth from pirates is super profi...
Chapter 68
Title: Royal Guard...
…
Alex laid down on the ground nonchalantly. The whole mountain that used to be littered with buildings was now just a rubble mountain. But Alex isn't ready to give up yet. Because while this mountain by itself is useless, below this should be a gateway to the Demon Continent.
This was before the human ve demon wars even took place. So the Demon Continent should be full of resources left unclaimed, for example,...
Chapter 27
Title: A Background…
…
Raynare tells Max her life story, she was born as a princess of a Kingdom in North Blue. How she was a princess and her kingdom fell against war with another Kingdom, the latter had paid for Germa 66 to come and help them. Her little brother, mother, and father were all killed in the city's sacking. Only she was able to escape.
The war was all initiated because her family had refused to pay the Heave...
Chapter 26
Title: Shadow Bear...
….
Max smirked and Gecko Moria smiled back, and his shadows also retreated to the ground.
He suddenly laid down on the ground atop the wall. "Shishishishi~ I don't need to get up to deal with some small fry like you."
Fwish!
The shadows under Max moved and became ropes that held him down. Out of the ropes, Moria's shadowy face appeared. This was his double created from the man's own sh...
Chapter 25
Title: Meeting a Shadow...
…..
In Gecko Moria’s ship, which was more like a small island, Max and his marine crew were at the entrance of the surrounding wall. Max had hit the metal gate a couple of times and created dents in the metal with each ‘knock’. The gate looked like a woman's lips with teeth and it was made out of metal.
Also, he acted as confidently as he could to inspire his men to not fear anything. After all, they...
Chapter 57
Title: The Godfather...
…
-Arthur IV-
Planning an elaborate murder plot with several parties in which most of them were killed after a specific amount of time took one thing. That 'thing' was competent men that didn't jump the gun.
Got the idea from Godfather Movie, had to pay over 1000 Gold Dragons to get this. One can buy a small castle with that kind of money, most people won't ever see that amount of money.
Chapter 24
Title: Boin Islands...
….
Max looked at the sky with disinterest as it started getting darker and darker, he had not eaten any food around even when delicacies grew on trees. He casually crushed any giant bug that got close to him and seemed to want to attack.
By now he had already started seeing some of the weird plants that he didn’t know the names of. Some vine plant attacked him instantly wrapping itself around him with ...
Chapter 67
Title: Get Outta Jail Free Card...
….
"I know what you want," said Alex with a small almost unnoticeable smirk on his face. "Plus there was a reason why I killed the Sword Mountain Sect. If you check their array, then you will learn that they weren't just a Sect of righteousness. They had many secrets."
The Lightning Sage frowned, he knew that any Mage would most likely do this to buy time. But he also understood that Mages were...
Chapter 23
Title: I am the law...
….
Ace had the decency to look embarrassed when informed that he could have used a transponder snail and not ride off to meet Max personally. Which ended badly for the pirate.
“Ah, yeah… I knew about that.” Ace tried to make a layman excuse, but no one believed him.
Even Max looked at him strangely, seeing stupidity in the anime was funny, but in real life… well it was still funny, but he ...
Chapter 66
Title: The Sage of Lightning...
….
Alex looked at the man who seemed to be made out of lighting and smirked at him.
Though he showed confidence outwardly, in reality, Alex wasn't too sure of his victory. But showing fear of uncertainty in battle would be detrimental, so he won't show any weakness. The last thing he wanted to do was show his opponent that he isn't 100% confident.
Boom! BoomBoom! Boom! BoomBoom!
Th...
Chapter 22
Title: Cheap Shot...
….
'What a nice day this is.' – thought Max, as he stood on the helm of his ship and looked at the endless sea in front of him. He wore a new red suit that Sharlia thought looked quite good on him. He wanted to get a brown one since he had the Bear-Bear Fruit… Raynare heavily disagreed with that. – 'But why though? Raynare herself had the Crow-Crow Fruit and black looks amazing on her. Oh wait… brown… it ...
Chapter 21
Title: You can't stop young love!
….
Aokiji sighed in annoyance as he looked at the two people sitting down and drinking coffee together. They looked more like a couple than a kidnapper and a victim.
'Did the higher-ups get it wrong? She seems happy here.' Thought the Admiral as he looked at them and narrowed his eyes.
Max gazed back at Aokiji with a cringing look on his face, he wasn't comforted at all. He had predicted that...
Chapter 65
Title: Little Man
….
It didn't take long for all the disciples to gather in the square, of course, some resisted, but it wasn't that bad as the Ice Golems killed them.
Alex looked at every one of them, his eyes shining with temptation. Each of them was a resource, a sword that he could use against the enemy.
"Greetings Sect Master!" Yelled out one of the students before bowing down, their forehead touching the ground. Alex ch...
Chapter 64
Title: I ain't a two-bit villain...
….
The Sword Mountain Sect, one of the semi-divisionary organizations within the Wayne Kingdom. While it didn't have the might it used to have a couple of generations ago, it was still strong in its own right. Though it's only a second-rate sect now, and none of the members were at Legendary Rank, and their leader was over a hundred years old and had only one step in the realm.
Its residence was on th...
Chapter 63
Title: Joke...
….
The War of Deceit, that was what the historians recorded about the war between Camilla, Julie, and the Holy Kingdom. The details on how it started were very vague, but one thing was for sure… after the war there had been massive turmoil.
The vacuum of power Headmistress Julie left behind isn't something that could be filled by simply having another Legendary Rank replace her. So both Camilla and the Holy Kingdo...
