Conspiracy

England, in the castle of Prince Loki.

"Boom!" An explosion echoed at the castle's entrance as Erda flew out incredibly fast.

"Cough, cough! How is this possible!" With a grim expression, Erda looked at the two identical men before him.

"In this country, there are strong individuals like you! I underestimated it." Struggling to get up, Erda clutched his chest, blood trickling from the corner of his mouth.

During the previous attack, Erda had already broken two ribs.

"Golden Ring Erda!"

"Quickly leave this country!"

"Or else!"

"Die!" The twin men spoke, their expressions ice-cold.

"Damn it! What a joke! I'm not the kind of man who flees in the face of danger!"

Erda shouted angrily, stomping the ground and charging at the twins.

"Know your place."

"Die!"

"Shave!" The twin brothers vanished instantly, appearing on both sides of Erda with blinding speed, simultaneously launching kicks at him.

"Damn it!" Erda roared, using both arms to block the kicks from the twins.

"Boom!" A loud explosion rang out as Erda was once again sent flying. He crashed through several buildings before finally coming to a stop.

"Cough!"

"Cough, cough! How is this possible!" Erda struggled to get up, brushing off the debris from his body.

"With this kind of strength, how could they remain unknown!" While Erda was still in disbelief, the twin brothers had already closed in on him, attacking simultaneously.

"Rumble!" Consecutive explosions continued as the entire street became a battlefield in their clash. On top of Prince Loki's castle.

"Hmph! What a foolish idiot! Pirates are just pirates! A bunch of fools who rely on brute force without thinking!" Prince Loki mocked.

"Heh, Prince Loki, Golden Ring Erda is no longer a threat. Princess Alice must be regretting her decision right now."

A middle-aged man dressed in acceptable attire with golden hair had a serious expression as he forced a smile.

"Hmph! For the sake of angering me, that foolish woman gave herself to a lowly pirate!"

As he spoke, a surge of dominating aura emanated from Prince Loki.

Under the influence of Prince Loki's aura, the middle-aged man's body trembled slightly but quickly regained composure.

"Well done, Prince. Anas Zavi, stop with the meaningless flattery. Issue the command to eliminate Golden Ring Erda quickly!" Loki coldly glanced at Zavi and then turned to leave the rooftop balcony.

"Yes, Prince Loki." In the New World, Grimms Island, at the Hundred Flowers Castle.

"Captain Rox! Something needs to be fixed! Lord Erda's life paper is burning rapidly!" A panicked pirate rushed to Rox's side, gasping for breath.

"What? With Erda's strength, how could he be in mortal danger? What's happening in the Kingdom of England?" Rox stood up, curious about the urgency.

"Go and fetch Vesa, who just returned! Tell her to come with me to the Kingdom of England immediately!"

"Understood, Captain Rox!" The pirate took the order and quickly ran out. In a short time, Vesa arrived in the hall.

"What's going on? I was busy making potions." Vesa looked at Rox curiously, wondering why he had urgently summoned her.

"No time for chit-chat, Vesa. Erda is in danger. Come with me to the Kingdom of England!"

Upon hearing that Erda was in danger, Vesa dropped her casual demeanour and swiftly headed towards the door, activating her ability to transform into a giant pink dragon.

Rox stood on Vesa's head, grabbing onto her two horns. "Roar!" A dragon's roar echoed through the sky as the pink dragon soared into the clouds.

"Hey! Rox! Where are you guys going?"

Rox quickly left Grimms Island, and the distant cries of a curious crew member went unheard. In the air, Rox sat atop Vesa's head, deep in thought.

Vesa refrained from asking questions and focused on flying swiftly towards the Kingdom of England.

In the New World, the Kingdom of England, Princess Alice's Mansion.

"Oh? Rox has left Grimms Island with Vesa, one of the Three Phantasms, and is heading towards the kingdom?"

Alice perked up upon hearing the report from her subordinate.

"Yes, Your Highness." A female voice came from a transponder snail.

"Very well! Sonia, continue to monitor the movements on Grimms Island. Report to me immediately if there is any news!"

"Yes, Your Highness!"

Alice hung up the transponder snail and flashed a captivating smile. "Hehe, the plan is halfway to success!"

"Next, it's time for them to make their move!" Alice chuckled happily and poured herself another glass of wine.

In the New World, Atvol Sea, the island of Lawlims. As one of the largest islands in the Atvol Sea, it was currently gathering a large group of pirates.

Dozens of pirate ships were anchored at the port. Lawlims Island, Central High Castle.

"We've received the latest information. Rox has left Grimms Island, and now, only Violent Chef Luth and Cunning Babosa are on the island. This is the perfect time for us to attack!"

A one-eyed pirate captain slammed the table and spoke loudly. "Chirp, chirp, chirp, chirp! I never thought that the princess would be so formidable! Everything has gone according to her plan so far!" 

A pirate captain with a mouse-like beard and a short stature chuckled. "Alright, enough with the chatter. Since Rox has already left Rox Island, we should save time! 

Let's set sail immediately, attack Grimms Island, take down Violent Chef Luth and Cunning Babosa, and let that arrogant brat know our strength!"

"Guhuhu, I heard that this chef is a great beauty!" In the New World, the Tottoland Sea, a massive pirate ship, sailed rapidly on the ocean's surface.

"Hehehe, hehe! Rox, Rox! I'm going to make you my twelfth husband!"

"Ladies, it's time to choose suitable husbands for yourselves!"

"Muhuhuhu, Mommy, I like Barrett. Can I marry him as my third husband?" Charlotte Conbolt asked Charlotte Lingling with a grin.

"Hehehe, isn't that obvious!"
