Pirate Kingship-Chapter 759 - 488: Black Sail Pirate King: The Uncrowned King (7100)!_2

Even so, Edward IV has consistently exercised the traditional skills of the Hightins Royal Family, continuously setting traps and pitfalls for him.

The Queen's Family and the Duke of Demons also see him as an easy target, plotting in secret to devour his assets.

The Count of Torrentfort is the pinnacle of "Byron Tudor's" life; no matter how great his accomplishments, he can hardly expect to rise further.

If it were a scion of another illustrious family with widespread alliances, deep roots, and a long history, they certainly wouldn't be treated like him.

Once the Sea Hunter reveals its Fifth Order prowess, instead of support, it will be met with open attacks and covert plots.

Countless people will suspect this lowborn lad, wondering if he's stumbled upon extraordinary luck or possesses some unusual treasure.

Although Byron is unafraid, any delay in the development of his territory is not worth the cost.

The Mad Hunt Byron Lancaster is entirely different. 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝔀𝓮𝒃𝙣𝓸𝒗𝒆𝒍.𝙘𝒐𝒎

He naturally belongs to the upper circles, even connected to multiple royal families through kinship.

His success is something everyone, including his enemies, considers expected.

After a brief fall, it's merely a return to his rightful position.

Effortlessly, he can rally a large group, putting the campaign against the Hightins' Stolen Country on the agenda.

In the same way that one might preface an introduction with "descendant of King Jing of Zhongshan," "starting with a bowl" is an absolute anomaly in history.

Although those from noble families often find their efforts subtly negated, this is human nature and reality, which Byron also finds difficult to resist.

Another advantage is that before Edward IV resolves the rebellious Kingmaker Warwick and his brother George, he can do nothing against this Lancaster.

To stabilize the situation, he must continue to curry favor with the Sea Hunter, allowing them to develop peacefully for a period, yielding multiple benefits.

"Shut up, all of you!"

The Puppet King shouted angrily, lunging forward with force at Byron.

Amidst the singing of thousands of pirates, the stage he created seemed to become Byron's home ground, so how could he not be furious?

Unfortunately, in this world, the "Mind Wish Power" of humans is real and tangible.

If someone were to shout, "O mountains, O land, and all living things, please grant me power," it might indeed result in an alternative "energy blast."

Though Byron has not reached that level, with the pseudo-title [Kingly Title] and the Bayfolk God-King's [Deity Mask], he's genuinely gained group buffs.

Clang——!

His long sword spun in his hand, performing a "Stealth Crossing" maneuver, bypassing the saber from below to above, directly stabbing at the Puppet King's forehead.

The sharp gleam of the sword coalesced into a line aimed at the "death line." Not to mention a mechanical head, even the hardest diamond skull would have a hole pierced through.

The Puppet King, with the assistance of [Binding God], had swordsmanship that transcended the ordinary, coupled with unparalleled control over wire and ropes.

The threads connected to the puppet body tightened abruptly, his upper body instantly leaning back as if collapsing, simultaneously raising his foot, his right leg firing up like a gunpowder explosion, fiercely kicking towards Byron's chin.

The mechanically modified foot ejected iron claws; if struck, not only the chin would shatter— it would crush the entire head.

Byron's head also leaned back in a boneless manner, exhibiting ultimate control over his body with its ability to enlarge or shrink, shorten or lengthen, soften or harden, and be supple or rigid.

His long sword switched from a thrust to a slash, using the Puppet King's own power to spark off his leg.

A momentary clash ensued, with attacks and defenses matched, neither inflicting severe wounds on the other.

Swish——!

Their gazes locked, shooting sparks, simultaneously their figures flickered and vanished, the rain curtain pierced, leaving two long white cavities.

If not for the two white trails sprinting along a ninety-degree mast, common soldiers wouldn't even glimpse their shadows.

Clang! Clang! Clang!...

In the skies above the deck, an incessant clangor like a blacksmith's echoed, with sparks flying, and the Dream Castle's upper block structures seemed to explode apart like they were being crushed by two colossal beasts.

Sword gleams flashed continuously, mast yards, spars, and hanging pathways sliced and fell, only to be lifted again by the air blast ring generated by their high-speed chase.

Yet in this evenly matched battle, Byron's mind gradually grew anxious.

"[All United] is ultimately not a true Core Royal Domain, just like Custom Decrees only having three opportunities, advancing in order also has limitations.

It can last a maximum of five minutes before reverting to its original state.

Moreover, even in the International Port or Tayapan, the duration isn't significantly longer.

[Golden Law] was born too briefly and still lacks depth."

The reason why the Royal Iron Law of various countries allows for the orderly inheritance of [King's Title] is that the founding monarch used an enormous interest group and at least decades to solidify the dynasty's legitimacy.

It also ensured the legitimate "declaration rights" of descendants.

Although Byron, after capturing Yucatan Island, began the unification of script, language, systems, and measurements, amalgamating the Aztec and Taya empires with numerous city-states and tribes into a Sacred Golden Empire with a population of 13 million.

He even established his own core team with the "Demonic Banquet Council," using them to extend influence throughout the Empire.
