Chapter 404: King of the world
"Hey! Paul, have you heard of it?"
On the streets of Dororo City's safe area, Feria walked excitedly beside Paul and asked.
"Of course," Paul's face also had excitement, "Whitebeest is still alive, and... punched out the entrance to the Great Navigation Road!"
Although the war on Blue Star local area has stopped, it will take some time for the economic recovery. During this period, most people are actually idle in resettlement housing and receive government subsidies every day. Fortunately, under the strengthening of the Tree of Life, the spiritual energy of heaven and earth has recovered and the vegetation has grown very fast, at least there is no shortage of food.
Against this background, coupled with the virtual network of the Immortal Bird Company installed in Noah’s Ark, the news spread throughout the world almost in the blink of an eye.
"It's really... so handsome!" Feria shouted excitedly with her fists clenched. He looked at Paul and suddenly said, "Paul, let's go out to sea too. Follow the steps of Whitebeard and enter the great sailing road together!!"
Paul was frightened by this, and then looked at Feria with shock, "You are not crazy!? Go to that world, do you think you are the lucky young man?? Who knows if you can meet the white beard??"
"As long as you obtain the devil fruit in that world, you can gain the power like a white beard." Felia clenched her fists, recalling Solo's yelling at the sea in her mind, her blood boiling in her heart, and he said excitedly, "Then, we will definitely see him at the end of the voyage!"
"It's really beyond help." Paul covered his face speechlessly, "Another idiot, let's talk about whether you can survive when you enter that world? Where do you go to get a boat? Do you think you can enter the sea by building a bamboo raft? Do you think you can cross the Atlantic Ocean by driving a fishing boat like a live broadcast!"
Felia's face froze, then she loosened her whole body, looking at Paul quietly and said, "Paul, why do you have to defeat me with reality every time I have a dream?"
"Don't blame others for being stupid." Paul retorted mercilessly.
Felia was silent, and for a moment, the two of them fell silent...
They just kept walking towards the end of the street without saying a word. There were occasionally people around, but they didn't say a word. There was a silent street.
Although Britania is currently calm on the surface, everyone can feel the depressing atmosphere in the air.
Everyone has indelible shadows, sadness and anger in their hearts, but they are powerless and can only be numb...
At this moment, Paul suddenly stopped. He turned his head and looked at the dock in the distance. After a moment, he said, "My dad has an ocean-going ship."
Hearing this, Felia suddenly shuddered, and he looked at Paul with shock, "Paul...you..."
Smack~
Paul lit a cigarette for himself, gave me a deep breath and said, "My father passed away and was punched by a ghoul in the abdomen. Although he was rescued, he did not survive in the hospital. Before he died, he gave me the key to the ship."
When he recalled his father's entrustment before his death, he wiped his nose a little sadly.
"He likes to eat fish very much. After my mother died, she bought this fishing boat and went out to catch the freshest sea fish. Unfortunately... the fish he made is very unpalatable and he still has to make it.
Later I remembered that it was because my mother made fish very delicious. She is French and lived by the beach since she was a child. Since then, I have thought about how to make fish, but I have never had time."
He tried to squeeze a smile at Feria, "How great would it be if I learned to make fish earlier, right?"
Felia was silent for a moment, "Sorry, Paul, I only know now..."
"I never regretted what I did before, but I regretted what I didn't do," Paul looked at Feria. "Maybe your choice is right. Feria. Instead of regretting the missed opportunity forever, it is better to enjoy the calmness of facing the results after the struggle."
"The sea is right there, isn't it?"
Paul is not a fool. He knows that if he really enters the new world, then they will definitely be dead for life, but... in his heart, like others, he also has the silent anger towards the monsters of the abyss, and his blood debt is only paid for blood!
Feria smiled, and he smiled very happily. He stretched out his hand and patted Paul on the shoulder, "That's what it means! From now on, you will be the deputy captain of the Feria!"
"What the Feria, don't name my ship without authorization!" Paul couldn't help but growled, and he took a deep breath, "I'm starting to regret it now. The pier is blocked by the army, and we still have a headache about how to break through the army's blockade and enter that world..."
Just as they were discussing, the crowds around suddenly increased. They strided and some people shouted.
"Her Majesty the Queen is going to give a speech, go and listen quickly!"
"What is going to be announced, the date of attacking the abyss?"
“What was announced must be a big deal.”
"It's over, I feel that our doomsday is coming!"
Feria and Paul looked at each other, and both of them could see the intention in each other's eyes.
...
"Since that's the case, there is no need to hesitate anymore. Time will not wait for us, Queen Britania's proposal, I agree."
“Additional.”
“Additional…”

In the palace of Eden, Emilia recalled the scene of the World Conference in her mind.
The last sentence of Whitebeard inspired a large number of young people. Many people now have the idea of riding a boat to the new world and gaining the legendary rights, wealth and power. Some people have even taken action.
But while bringing chaos, it also gave the heads of various countries a reassurance, and the counterattack that had been controversial was finally set.
At this moment, she was standing at the door of a recording studio, of course not recording, but live broadcast.
She needs to show her most spiritual appearance to the people.
She took a deep breath and turned her head to look at Artoria. She nodded to Emilia, which was a silent encouragement.
Emilia clenched her fists, entered the recording studio, and stood in front of the microphone again.
She turned her head and nodded to the director. As the director's countdown was made, the audio from the recording studio was connected nationwide.
Under the square where Felia and Paul were standing, people saw Emilyan's beautiful appearance appeared in front of everyone on the large screen in the square, causing an uproar.
"Her Majesty the Queen looks very good, and the rumors should be fake."
"What is Her Majesty the Queen doing during this period? Why is it just now?"
After the invasion of the abyss, she went to the British Isle to look for mechas and appeased the people there. After returning to Britania, she was busy summoning heroes, so this was the first time she officially appeared in front of the people of Britania.
During this period, rumors spread across Britania, and some people said that Empress Emilia had been killed by rebels and was now rebels in power.
Some people also say that Empress Emilia has now been scared by the abyss and hides in the nuclear protection room underground in the palace every day and dare not go out.
But her appearance today has broken some rumors. She is still wearing the military uniform of that day, and she is heroic. She is of two styles with Artoria's armor, but she is equally heroic.
Emilia took a deep breath, and the embarrassment of the first speech emerged in his mind.
Now, there is no crowd or expectant sight, but a narrow and extremely secure recording studio.
Sebas had thought of everything for her, and isolated everything that might hinder her. This time, she wanted to declare like the world whether she had the qualifications to become the queen of Britania!
Artoria looked at Emilia inside through the glass window. She had been the king and knew what kind of burden the girl was carrying on her shoulders. This was a weight that many men could not bear.
Therefore, when learning that the emperor of the huge empire of Britania was just a sixteen-year-old girl, Artoria was calm on the surface, but she felt a little worried inside.
Because she knew that it was unlikely that a second self would appear on this land where God's declining age was, this was not a conceit, but an unreasonable fact.
So, before she came down, she had actually been observing the girl emperor on the sunship.
When she saw her fainting from a simple speech, she was indeed extremely disappointed with the queen. At that time, she even had a moment of arguing whether to help Britania abolish the queen's new king.
This is not for Emilia, but for the sake of the entire people of Britania.
It is true that this is not her Britain, but it also carries her feelings for Britain, and handing over the future of a billion people to this young and weak girl, which Artoria cannot sit idly by.
But when she dared to jump off the high building in order not to become a prisoner, when she knew that her fainting was artificial, and when she saw her determination to execute Certon, Artoria made a new look at her.
Although she was still young, she saw the unparalleled courage hidden under the girl's weak appearance, which was derived from the bloodline of the Lion Heart King.
Although sometimes indecisive and impulsive, Artoria saw potential in her.
But potential is potential after all, and she also recognized Charia's words. If the ship called "Nation" wants to sail in the storm, it must have a strong mast, which is why she insisted on letting Emilia give this speech.
"Heroes must have heroic choices, and kings must also have the attitude of kings."
Artoria wrapped her hands around her, her turquoise pupils shining in the dimness.
