nLandon looked at everyone and grinned.

nTime sure did fly.

nIt seemed like just yesterday when he first met many here.

nYet today, they are his allies! His people! His most trusted friends.

nIt was impossible for them to sit back and watch Morgany soon make its move on Pyno.

nWithout a doubt, his empire was more at stake than everyone else's.

nWhat do you think would happen when those greedy Monarchs soon get word of Baymard's excellence?

nThey who loved to be supreme would feel threatened

nAnd for sure, they would send their sh.i.p.s and sh.i.p.s of people at him.

nIt was important to note that even though the Pirate organization was independent, they still secretly worked for the Morgs, provided the Morgs gave them missions.

nAnd so, the entire pirate organization might team up with the Morg armies to take them head-on.

nThe crises coming his way, in particular, was terrible!

nRight now, he needed to buy as much time as he could.

nIn fact, he would like to take them on after he got airplanes.

nNow, he just wanted to focus on uniting other continents and empires while avoiding these Morgs or making them run around in a wild goose chase.

nHeh.

nPresently, they should be looking for their lost members.

nA while back, he sensed movements in Magoon island and warped there.

nSure enough, he heard some pirates making plans to report the matter to their organization.

nThey might only arrive next year in the Fall or winter.

nSo that in itself was good.

nThroughout the year, he also planned on planting fake clues within other Pirate islands to make it seem like it was an internal fight amongst the pirates.

nAnything to buy time.

n.

nOne should know that while Morgany had been slowly making itself look like heaven, it also elected thousands and thousands of geniuses, who left their empires for greener pastures, becoming permanent citizens of Morgany.

nSome even betrayed their empires just for the chance of settling down somewhere in Morgany.

nAgain, the pirate organization itself kidnapped tens of thousands regularly, indirectly making them second grads citizens of Morgany... Stating that they were first Loyal to the pirate organization, followed by Monarchs of the memories they resided in within Morgany.

nWho didn't like good things?

nThey never again starved, since as pirates, they seized and stole countless things from whoever they met.

nOf course, everything first got handed to their Captain, who in turn would share the loot according to ratio.

nBut no matter how they did things, half of the goods were sent to the organization... who would split that about and share with the Morgany Monarchs.

nMany pirates never starved, lived better than they did when they were in their empires.

nSo they very much gave their loyalty away.

nAt first, some thought of escaping.

nBut later, it seemed ridiculous.

nWhy escape to go back to poverty?

nJust like that, Morgany had secretly increased its population, inviting geniuses and kidnapping many, growing into what it was today.

nThey even claimed ownership over the seas.

nBruh...

n.

nAnyway, with how powerful they were, it can't wise for him to take action now

nBecause when the enemy came, they wouldn't just come for him, but for everyone else.

nHe could guarantee Baymard's safety, but he couldn't guarantee everyone else's if Morgany attacked everyone all at once.

nDo you know how many sh.i.p.s and men they had?

nPyno would get beaten, hands down.

nAnd so, they could only misdirect things for now.

nEveryone had grim expressions on their faces while thinking about how horrifying Morgany was.

nDammit!

nLandon took out several folders and passed them around.

n

"Everyone!

nOur enemy is indeed formidable.

n

n

nBut I assure you, we will handle them while making sure that nothing happens to our empires.

nThat will all happen in due time.

nBut for now, we can't risk alerting Morgany by going to them.

nRather than doing that, we need to strengthen our powers as fast as we can.

nAnd I have the perfect thing in mind.

nRight now, all I'm asking, for you all to believe in me.

nI promise we'll get through this together.

nSo... Do you trust me?

"

nHenry clenched his fist too.

nHe had just gotten into power and was shocked by so many things that were taking place within the empire.

nIt looked like all these years, he had been living in his tiny bubble in Deiferus.

nBut if he and his people were to survive this, they needed to properly communicate with the other Pyno empires and fight the common enemy.

nHis heart speeded up as he felt a sort of emotion he had never felt before.

nWhat was this?

nHeh. Whatever it was... He liked it!

nWith his new comrades, alongside Elder brother Landon, he didn't think that they would lose.

nNo! Pyno would rise!

n.

nLooking at Landon's confident smile that they were all very well used to, everyone grinned and chuckled.

nLucius:

"As someone who has watched you grow till now. You have my support.

"

nCarmelo :

"Brat! If it's you, I know we have nothing to fear.

"

nMicheal:

"Hahahahhahaha. Spoken like a true Man! Brat. After this, let's spar. I'll show you the moves I'll use to take down those Morgs when they get here.

"

nWilliam:

"I believe in my cousin. If it's him, then we have nothing to fear.

"

nMona:

"Stupid Nephew. Of course we trust you! But don't think I'll forgive you for making me cry earlier on Tv.

"

nSirius:

"I believe in you. Your brain is far superior to mine.

"

nAstar:

"Big Brother Landon is a superhero. Yayy!

"

nRaul:

"Brother Astar, Superheroes don't exist. Nonetheless, I have to agree with you. Pyno will come out victorious.

"

nHenry:

"I also believe in Big Brother Landon.

nPenelope:

"I have faith in you. That's all I have to say.

"

nSanta:

"~Ooooo..... Little brother, my wifey has never said that she had faith in me. I'm so jealous! But before I'm a kind person, I'll forgive you and also have faith in you.

"

n(-_-)

nLandon's lips twitched.

nWhy was Micheal still on about the sparring thing?

nAunt Mona, is it really my fault that you cried on national Tv?

nAnd you Santa, who was begging for your belief?

nAs for Astar, he had no comment.

nJust no comment at all.

nNonetheless, he still felt touched by their firm belief in him.

nIt was good having allies.

nNow, it was time to get to the main dish for the day.

nThe Ballista!
