Leviathan Kingdom.
After the brutal murder of First Prince Jaeger, the entire city was put on high alert. Army Captain Broun and Court Captain Morey sensed something unusual about the incident.
Oro VII summoned Broun and Morey overnight. He was lying in bed, gasping for breath.
Princess Christine, graceful and beautiful in a pure white court dress, sat by the bed, weeping sorrowfully.
Seeing Oro VII in this state, Broun and Morey were moved. They stepped forward and knelt, "Your Majesty!"
They had followed Oro VII for over thirty years, having been promoted by him personally, and were fiercely loyal to Oro.
Oro VII's face was pale. Seeing his two ministers approach, a hint of relief flickered across his face, then it became grim and darkened again, "Broun, Morey, how many years have you been with me?"
The two ministers replied, "Thirty-five years."
"Thirty-five years, huh…"
Oro VII's eyes showed a sense of melancholy, and he spoke slowly, "Now the kingdom is in turmoil… I didn't expect Churchill to be so deranged."
Oro VII shook his head, his face filled with sorrow.
Although he had been bedridden in recent years, he was aware of all major domestic and foreign affairs of the kingdom, and naturally knew of Churchill's actions.
Broun and Morey immediately exchanged glances.
"I don't have much time left, you must listen carefully to what I say…"
Oro VII panted heavily, "Now I pass the throne to Christine. You must assist Christine well. Churchill will certainly not give up, so you must prepare early. I have only one request… Do not kill him. Imprison him for life in the palace, and let him live out the rest of his days peacefully."
Had it been a dozen years ago, the decisive Oro VII would not have spared even his own son.
But the older one gets, the more things one has to consider.
Broun and Morey solemnly promised, "Your Majesty, our power was bestowed by you. This time, we will fully assist Her Highness Christine and will never let the kingdom fall into the hands of others."
"In that case… I can rest assured."
Oro VII's lips curved into a faint smile. The heavy stone in his heart finally lifted. He gazed at the ceiling, his eyes gradually becoming vacant… his pupils dilating.
Christine sensed something was wrong. She walked over to check and discovered that Oro VII had passed away, his soul returning to the heavens.
She wept in grief, wailing on the ground.
Broun and Morey also shed tears, as past scenes flashed before their eyes… Just then, urgent yet orderly footsteps suddenly came from outside the door, followed by shouts of killing. Soldiers were fighting.
Broun and Morey's hearts pounded, "What's going on?"
But soon, as the door was kicked open from the outside, and Churchill walked in with Chainsaw William, they understood what was happening.
Morey's face turned grim, "Churchill, you really colluded with pirates?"
"Collude with pirates?"
Churchill sneered, "To deal with you, how can I do it without some external help? See the situation clearly, Morey, Broun. Now most of the kingdom's military forces are in my hands. What do you have to fight me with?"
Christine's face was still streaked with tears as she glared at Churchill, "Second Brother, stop this…"
"Stop putting on a good person act here!"
Churchill said impatiently, "I've been planning this day for a long time. I originally wanted the old man to abdicate peacefully before he died, but when he secretly summoned you and Morey, I knew he would rather pass the throne to you than to me!"
"I'm also his son! Jaeger is dead, I'm the only rightful heir, why would he pass the throne to you? What exactly does he dislike about me?!"
Christine tried to explain, but Churchill interrupted, "I've been forced to this point by you all. Now I'm too lazy to waste words with you. Morey, Broun, if you are willing to submit to me, I might spare you, but…"
Churchill smiled playfully, "You'll have to personally apprehend Christine to show your resolve."
"Hey, hey, are we being underestimated?"
Morey and Broun exchanged smiles and said in unison, "We have followed His Majesty for decades and fought many wars. Do you think we would be afraid of mere coercion?"
Churchill's smile gradually froze, then turned into a sinister grin, "In that case, you all die. Chainsaw… I leave it to you."
Chainsaw William let out a chilling, unpleasant laugh, "No problem… So, who should I start with?"
Chainsaw William's eyes swept over the three people present, finally settling on Morey.
Chainsaw's lips curved. With a whoosh, a gust of air rippled from the floor beneath his feet. Chainsaw charged towards Morey like a rampaging rhino.
Morey's expression became stern. He drew the heavy knight's spear from his waist and thrust it fiercely at Chainsaw.
Chainsaw's body swayed. His two arms quickly transformed into Chainsaws, swinging, sending sparks flying.
In the blink of an eye, Chainsaw appeared behind Morey and stopped.
Morey's pupils constricted. Several neat cuts immediately appeared on his heavy knight's spear, and the spear broke into five or six pieces.
Morey's eyes rolled back. Several jets of blood spurted from his front. In that instant, he had been struck multiple times… He collapsed to the ground. As he breathed, blood continuously gushed from his nostrils and mouth, spreading out beneath him.
"How could this be? Morey was defeated in one round?!"
Broun was greatly alarmed. As the Captain of the Royal Army, his strength was naturally above that of Court Captain Morey, but to defeat Morey, it would usually take at least twenty moves.
Chainsaw William licked the blood and flesh clinging to his Chainsaw-transformed hands. His rotten teeth had even turned into a serrated shape.
Paramecia type, Chainsaw-Chainsaw Fruit user.
Bang!!
The ceiling of the Royal Palace suddenly exploded. A figure in a Marine cloak, accompanied by several Colonels, jumped down.
"Saeki…!!"
Chainsaw William's expression tightened. He looked at Vice Admiral Saeki with a somewhat grim face, "You, you're really persistent."
Churchill reprimanded, "Marine, Leviathan Kingdom is a World Government allied nation. Do you intend to interfere in the internal affairs of an allied nation?"
"Don't misunderstand…" Vice Admiral Saeki glanced at Christine behind him, "We have always respected the internal affairs of allied nations. However, as far as I know, Prince Churchill, Oro VII does not seem to have passed the throne to you, and your collusion with pirates in an attempt to usurp the nation is no longer just a matter of the kingdom's internal affairs."
"Bastard!!"
Churchill's eyes were bloodshot, "No matter who it is, if they obstruct me, they must die!! Chainsaw, kill them all, and you and I will split the Leviathan Kingdom!!"
"Dihahaha… How truly insane!"
Chainsaw William licked his lips, a crazy and bloodthirsty expression on his face, "The price is so high, it seems I have no reason to refuse."
Chainsaw beckoned. His subordinates, the Vice Captain and three combatants, stepped forward. The other pirates waited outside.
