Chapter 582 582

Sea Circle Calendar 1525, the first year since the official establishment of the Angel Republic government.

Across the entire world—the Four Seas, Paradise, and the New World—over eighty percent of the countries, without exception, had joined under the banner of the Angel Republic.

However, there remained a small faction that held a pessimistic view of the Angel Republic, regarding it as merely "another World Government," and thus steadfastly refused to join.

The Angel Republic did not isolate or threaten these non-member nations with military force.

Instead, they periodically sent representatives to these countries to promote their ideals and offer a series of convenient preferential terms.

Yet, there were still some nations in the New World ruled by royal families who had once been loyal to the World Government and the Celestial Dragons, and who desperately aspired to become Celestial Dragons themselves.

These nations became die-hard supporters, unhesitatingly following Blackbeard and resisting the Angel Republic.

Originally, Sakazuki intended to launch a direct campaign against these countries.

But he was stopped by Michael.

Because at this stage, the primary task of the Angel Republic was not to eliminate all dissenters but to transition its territories away from the era of war as much as possible...

Thus, the Angel Republic and the Demon Remnants entered an era of frequent minor conflicts but overall peace.

Moreover, Michael officially issued a decree replacing Pirates entirely with legal adventurers...

From then on, anyone who set sail under the banner of a Pirate would be directly regarded as an enemy of the Angel Republic.

To comply with Michael's decree, the current pinnacles of piracy—the Red-Haired Pirates and the Angel Pirates—removed their Pirate titles and became the first legal adventurers.

Subsequently, those who had once aspired to become Pirates all turned into legal adventurers.

The Great Age of Piracy continued...

But it no longer had anything to do with Pirates.

...

Sea Circle Calendar 1526.

Elbaf and Whole Cake Island officially merged, jointly forming the "Charlotte Kingdom."

Charlotte Linlin was naturally elected as its queen.

With control over the Charlotte family, Elbaf, and her own immense power...

The Charlotte Kingdom rapidly became a military powerhouse surpassing even the Whitebeard Kingdom.

Kaido remained in the Charlotte Kingdom, becoming a notorious drunkard and loafer.

But at the same time, he also became the sole war advisor for the entire Charlotte Kingdom.

...

Sea Circle Calendar 1527.

In the second year after Luffy, as the captain of the Straw Hat Adventure Crew, set sail with his crew, they traveled from the East Blue through Paradise and finally reached the New World.

Shedding the identity of the Angel Republic, Luffy fully embraced his true self.

Along the way, countless legendary tales of the Straw Hat and his adventure crew were left behind.

They also incidentally helped the Angel Republic eliminate many malignant forces.

...

Sea Circle Calendar 1528.

The Angel Republic began fully promoting a compulsory education system, establishing elementary, middle, and high schools worldwide.

With the accelerated efforts of the Angel Republic's construction teams, the project was officially declared complete by the end of the year.

After completing compulsory education, individuals would receive career advice and job placements.

Most nations gradually began to move onto the right track.

The common people finally began to understand that in this era, knowledge had become as important as strength.

...

Sea Circle Calendar 1529.

Michael's power reached a level utterly incomprehensible to ordinary people.

It was not merely an enhancement of personal abilities but also a peak understanding of the essence of power itself.In his spare time from handling the duties of the highest leader, Michael thoroughly deconstructed Armament Haki and Observation Haki...

He then compiled a set of instructional materials for learning Armament Haki and Observation Haki.

Learning Armament Haki and Observation Haki this way would significantly reduce the foundational strength, but there were almost no learning restrictions...

Thus, the entire world gradually entered an era of Haki.

...

Sea Circle Calendar 1530...

Michael announced his resignation and would not seek re-election.

After the entire Angel Republic failed to persuade him otherwise, the election for the second highest leader was convened.

The then office director, Narona Im, was elected as the highest leader of the Angel Republic with an overwhelming number of votes.

And shortly after this, Michael completely retreated to the estate not far from Mary Geoise.

However, after stepping down, Michael seemed to have completely let himself go.

Not only did he thoroughly enjoy the company of Gion, Crocodile, Stella, and Imu when they came to him, but he also began to think about expanding his family.

And the result was...

"You little rascal... Imu hasn't even been the highest leader for half a year yet!" Garp sat in Michael's living room, peeling an orange while complaining.

"You're relaxed now, but you let Imu go to work with a visible baby bump..."

"Ahaha, couldn't help myself?" Ever since his iron tree blossomed, Michael had become utterly shameless when it came to matters of romance between men and women, "Imu actually has it easy... Crocodile was still resolving conflicts between the Demon Remnants and the Angel Republic just a few days ago."

"Yeah, yeah, you're so impressive." Zephyr nodded beside him, "Marrying four wives at once, and they all got pregnant at the same time... you're quite the player, huh?"

"Alright, you old perverts."

Sengoku sat nearby, legs crossed, wearing reading glasses and looking at a newspaper.

On the surface, he appeared calm and composed.

But in reality, the excitement in his eyes... was almost overflowing.

Finally...

It was his turn to hold a grandchild!

"Knock, knock, knock."

At that moment, a series of knocks sounded at the door.

Michael stood up and walked over to open it.

The next moment, he was immediately embraced by a group of women.

"Father! Wuwuwu! I missed you so much!"

"Ah! Father energy replenished!"

"Hehe... it's Father's scent."

"You three from Amazon Lily! Don't think you can monopolize Father's embrace just because there are more of you!"

With a surge of strength, Yamato actually managed to push Hancock and her two sisters aside.

Following them into the room was Michael's eldest daughter, who had brought her entire family along...

"Father, it seems you've been living quite well lately."

"Uh, Toki, why did you bring all the troublemakers from home?"

"To help, of course?" Kozuki Toki rolled her eyes, "In a few months... my younger siblings are going to be born."

After saying this, she directed Kozuki Rin and Kozuki Hiyori to carry things into the room.

Kozuki Rin muttered as she moved...

"Just my luck, doing hard labor is one thing..."

"But thinking that in a few months, I'll have a bunch of one-foot-tall elders..."

"Ahh, why couldn't I have been more determined back then and followed Luffy out to sea?"
