879 King (2/2)
”Impossible… This is the power of the sea!”
”Doesn't the Child of the Sea need to be of Kingsman's bloodline?”
The other merfolk wavered upon seeing Fang Yuan control seawater. It was as though their faith had suffered a blow. Some of the dull-witted merfolk even knelt on the ground.
”Aeoris…”
Edward also rushed over. Seeing what was happening, he and his subordinates were left speechless.
Obviously, this Arcane Trickster Roche had already taken control of a third legendary pirate ship.
With this amount of power, he could do almost anything he wanted in the ocean. With the exception of the Ettoman family, none could hope to stand up to him.
Bloop! Bloop!
Under Fang Yuan's control, the seawater formed a big sphere with Aeoris at the center.
There was no way to move or breath. Seconds later, pain filled the elf's face.
”I'll give you a chance!”
Fang Yuan waved his hand, and Aeoris' head appeared out of the water sphere. He breathed in the air greedily.
”Along with Edward, you shall recognize me as the Pirate King. Then, I'll spare you,” Fang Yuan said calmly.
While his plan looked like a cut to the Gordian knot, it was actually an immense loss to the pirate elites.
He even suspected that the pirates would split apart after this, and then he would be hard-pressed to find any qualified legendary pirate ship captains.
As such, letting this pirate governor live was still necessary.
Aeoris saw the coldness in Fang Yuan's eyes and responded immediately. ”I-I bow before you, great Pirate King Roche!”
In fact, he was left with no choice. He understood that even if he resisted with his life, Fang Yuan could kill him and let Edward nominate instead. He would still be able to become the Pirate King.
Fang Yuan kept silent for a while, his eyes fixed on Edward.
Edward gritted his teeth before kneeling in front of Fang Yuan and presenting his cutlass.
”I, son of the Golden Ocean, Edward, also nominate you, Arcane Trickster Roche, to become our Pirate King!”
Buzz buzz!
Instantly, it was as if something had taken shape, but it was as if nothing had happened at all.
Fang Yuan took the blade nimbly and gave it a casual wave.
Bloop! Bloop!
The water surface parted. Sea monster after sea monster surfaced. Not only was there the tiger shark that was the size of a ship, but there were also octopuses, whales, turtles, and other unknown monsters.
They were the strongest sea monsters contracted to King's Throne throughout the years. The strongest few had strength that rivaled Demigods.
However, they now hung their heads low, as though they were pledging loyalty to this new Pirate King.
Fang Yuan boarded Sun, and his voice spread throughout the battlefield. ”As the Pirate King, Pirate King City must obey me! The same goes for the governors of the four oceans!”
Almost instantly, Specter Ship and King's Throne, who were locked in a battle to the death, separated. They approached Sun's sides.
The Island Turtle King also slowly calmed down. Pulling its head and limbs back into its shell, it assumed the appearance of a giant island once again.
”Edward! Butcher, Bill, Cassenia, Rolisa…” Without any hesitation, Fang Yuan issued his order. ”You will lead sailors to recruit the pirates, especially those of the pirate governors! Aeoris, help out with the reorganization if you don't wish to die!”
With four legendary pirate ships under his command, the pirates could not escape even if they wanted to.
”Also… after we gather the ships, we will shift Pirate King City! A pirate event of such scale is sure to reach the ears of the Ettoman Royal Navy. They might even try to hunt us down!”
Luckily, Pirate King City could move, and they could choose to run instead of defending.
After sending out his orders, Fang Yuan grabbed the ship's railing and stood in silence for a long time.
His subordinates assumed that their leader was savoring the joy of becoming the Pirate King, but what they did not know was that the entire world was undergoing a terrifying change at the same time.
Fang Yuan had come to this world via dream-traversing, so the majority of his powers were sealed, and he could only wield a small portion that leaked through.
Donald and Sorcerer Orlando were pieces on his board, and his goal was to send the world into turmoil.
He had then entered the fray personally and taken control of a pirate ship, taking the first step toward unsealing his main body.
Now that he became the Pirate King, he put his all into stirring the World Thread.
As the world was in turmoil, Fang Yuan's main body was finally unsealed. The final step of the plan was complete!
”Demon God!
”Demon God!
”The Dao of Dream Master has finally agglomerated. The distinction between reality and fantasy is no more!”
Fang Yuan sighed. Something seemed different about him, yet nothing seemed to have happened at all.
However, Fang Yuan knew that from this moment on, he was absolutely different.
With Demon God-level power and control of two Great Daos, he would be able to secure a place for himself even in the Mental Demon Realm, and he would not need to fear that black hand's revenge!
