I am retiring!

In the morning, when most of his women rested, Masa had woken up and appeared sharp as usual. 

"What's wrong?" 

He looked at Vivi, who accompanied him, and unlike his women, she was all fine since she slept well last night and didn't join the battle.

"Is it really okay for you to do all of that?" 

Even as a princess of one of the largest kingdoms in this world, Vivi didn't dare to be so lawless like Masa. 

"It's fine." 

"Really?" 

"Yes." Masa nodded. "Think of those powerful pirates like those Four Emperors; they can do anything they wish to be, and the Marines don't attack them, right? They can live peacefully and even live on their territory without worry." 

"...." 

When Vivi heard his words, she couldn't say anything, but then again, why would it happen? 

Even if the Marines and the World Government knew that the Four Emperors were harmful, why did they take no action?

"Why do you think it happened?" 

"Well..." 

"It's because of the cost." 

"Cost?" 

"Yes, the cost of fighting them is too much, and it might break the stability that they have created, so they do nothing, especially when those Four Emperors aren't immortal. Sooner or later, they will die due to old age, and as the World Government has made them bear such a title, even if the Marines and the World Government do nothing, those pirates who want to take their title will give their everything to take them down. 

"In other words, they can take down those pirates without paying anything." 

"..." 

Vivi was so dumbfounded that she couldn't say anything. 

Masa looked at her cute face, then laid on her lap as usual. With this type of closeness, he knew that she was okay, or rather, if he pushed her, she would be more than happy, but then again, this wasn't the time. 

"I have power, and I can give them a benefit, so why should I be afraid?" 

"You are really..." 

Vivi was helpless, but she trusted him since she knew well that despite appearing so reckless, he was smarter than anyone. 

"Are you worried about me, Vivi?" 

"W-Who cares about you?!" 

"How cute~!" 

"....." 

Vivi blushed, then sighed, thinking that she really was no match for him. At the same time, instead of hiding away her feelings, she might as well be truthful since that way, she could marry him and become his queen, which was good, right? 

Yet, there was no doubt that everyone who watched their flirting was speechless, especially those who wanted to talk with him. 

"Masa-sama, Vivi-sama, I am sorry for bothering you, but can we have a talk?" 

Regardless, while some people wanted to approach him due to Masa's power, several people in white suits and masks came as they exuded a powerful aura, yet somehow, compared to Masa, they were too pale, like a small chihuahua in front of a Godzilla. 

"Sure, sit there." 

"Thank you." 

Masa's expression didn't change much despite having his subordinates kill some of their comrades; those agents, CP0, were speechless and slightly angry, but they endured it since their lives meant nothing in front of Masa. 

"Should we talk somewhere else?" 

"If you want to talk somewhere, then wait till I become the admiral." 

"Do you believe you can become an admiral?" 

"Do you think I can't do it?" 

"...." 

Masa then ignored the men and said, "Still, it might be better for you to send me beautiful agents than a group of grown-up men, so my mood will be better when I talk to you—" But his words were cut as Vivi pulled his cheek. "Ouch! Ouch! Vivi, it hurts!" 

"...what are you pretending in front of me?" 

This guy was all good but was just too fickle! 

Still, the CP0 agents were speechless, but they nodded. "We'll make a note of that." No, next time, it would be a group of beautiful women since that way, Masa could talk with them better. 

"As for that ship..." 

"Your position is too low to discuss that with me." 

"We will talk with the Five Elders." 

"I will do that." Masa nodded. "Go and sit over there." He felt that it wasn't enough to become an admiral. Instead, he should just go all out and go visit Mary Geoise, then take control of the World Government! 

Was it possible? 

Why wasn't it possible? 

With Masa's current power, everything was possible, and he thought to go all out directly! 

"....." CP0.

"By the way, can I ask you something?" Masa asked. 

"Yes?" 

"The CP0 is the strongest agent under the World Government, right?" 

"That's right!" 

The members of CP0 somehow raised their chests high, showing their pride, but—

"As an agent, do you have to wear a white suit to attract people's attention?" 

"..." CP0. 

Regardless, after Masa asked that question, those members of CP0 quickly moved to the side where his followers stayed. 

"Welcome~! Welcome~! Sit here~!" 

"..." CP0. 

Regardless, those around wondered why they shouldn't just end this competition right away since the new admiral was obvious.

Even though there were only a semi-final and a final left, and three other candidates left, it didn't mean everyone was clear that it was mostly Masa who would become the admiral. 

Yet, what they didn't know was that it was impossible for the three candidates to give up so easily. 

Gion, Aramaki, and Issho. 

Despite knowing Masa's advantages, the three couldn't give up the position of the admiral so easily! 

This position was something they wished for, becoming the top of one of the most powerful organizations in this world! 

How could they let go of this chance? 

Still, without a doubt, the Marines were quite helpless since Gion was the only one that was left, and the other three weren't members of the Marines. But without a doubt, no one walked away, and all of them waited for the battle to start!

Sengoku, who stood in his previous spot, glanced at Masa's group for a moment, and his expression turned solemn, which made him feel that he really shouldn't let Masa become the admiral! 

If Masa somehow entered this system, the Marines... Sengoku was afraid that the justice that everyone believed in would change, which frightened him. Glancing in the direction of Gion, Aramaki, and Issho, the three nodded at him, which made him comfortable. 

Meanwhile, Garp, who was hurt, was still in the hospital and watched the competition on the screen since if he was there, he was afraid he would beat up Masa. No, he was afraid that Masa would kill him. 

Regardless—

"The Admiral War will start soon, and the admiral will be chosen among the four of you! Only the winner can become the admiral, so do your best to get it! Don't hold back! Give you everything even if you kill your opponent!" 

As Sengoku said so, he glanced at Masa, who only yawned, causing his lips to twitch. 

"Now, the first match will be the match between Gion and Issho!" 

At that moment, Gion and Issho glanced at each other with fierce expressions, but Aramaki—

"As for the next match, it will be the match between Aramaki and King Masa!" 

"..." 

Taking a deep breath, Aramaki felt a terrible beast had watched over him, clearly had an intention to kill him, so—

"I'm retiring! Masa-sama won! Please let go of me!" 

"..." 

At that moment, everyone lost their voices.
