Chapter 445: Chapter 445: Daene Targary’s White Dragon Form

Daene Targary followed closely behind Golden Lion Shiki, acting as a guide and leading the way for the flying fleet. Along the journey, she pointed out directions and helped deal with one rebel general after another.

Meanwhile, her kingdom’s captain of the guard was starting to question his entire life. Had he been wasting away all these years?

He’d seen a baboon that was impervious to blades and bullets, tearing soldiers apart with its bare hands...

He’d seen a baboon wielding darts, nailing enemies one by one like child’s play...

He’d seen a baboon soaring through the air with Geppo, unleashing Rankyaku slashes...

He’d seen a baboon dual-wielding swords, chomping on a cigar just like Golden Lion Shiki, and firing off waves of golden flying sword energy...

The captain knew these baboons were called "human mimics," with their imitation talents maxed out. Especially their leader.

It had mastered Golden Lion Shiki’s lion-style swordsmanship, wielding golden sword energy that even master swordsmen would bow to in defeat.

It turned out that their Westeros Kingdom’s guards couldn’t even match the fighting power of a bunch of baboons!

"For Brook-sama!! Charge~"

Arber gripped his longsword and flapped his flame-wreathed black wings, leading the charge straight into the rebel forces.

Alice, Aruyan, Arodan—these Lunarians—also commanded their winged air squads to dive into the enemy lines. Their fighting style was ferocious, leaving fields of corpses in their wake wherever they went!

Beast Kaido rampaged on the ground like a human tank, his golden alloy mace swinging with crushing force—anyone it touched was doomed, turning him into a striking sight on the battlefield!

Truth be told, the moment the flying fleet appeared, plenty of soldiers had already fled. Who hadn’t heard of the Hell Pirates’ infamous reputation?

Not to mention, Westeros Kingdom was already one of the Hell Pirates’ territories.

If they stuck with the generals in rebellion now, their fate was obvious: death without a body left to bury.

The hotheaded young soldiers suffered heavy casualties, while the veterans had long since slipped away.

They crushed everything in their path, overwhelming all opposition!

If even Germa 66’s Vinsmoke siblings could pacify the Broc Coli Kingdom in four hours, Golden Lion Shiki’s flying fleet only needed two to bring Westeros Kingdom to heel.

Wherever they went, enemies surrendered on the wind!

Except for the northern general Stark near the Frozen Wastes Island, who stubbornly clashed head-on with Golden Lion Shiki and got taken out directly. The generals after him all chose to surrender and beg for mercy.

Especially the Casterly general Lannister, who neatly packaged up his entire fortune and laid it out on the city walls, waiting for the flying fleet to accept it.

Golden Lion Shiki actually went for it, sparing their family and letting him keep his general position.

As for the others—except for the Highgarden general Tyrell, who saved his skin by offering up his daughter—the rest weren’t savvy enough. They got their homes raided, families wiped out, and met grisly ends!

"Not even a bit of fun!"

Golden Lion Shiki grumbled around his cigar. Sending the Hell Pirates’ main force to quash a kingdom’s rebellion did feel like overkill, like using a cannon on a mosquito.

Still, this Daene Targary had the guts to offer up a mythical zoan-type Ice Frost Giant Dragon fruit to enlist Brook’s help—that boldness deserved some respect.

Anyone else would’ve eaten the devil fruit themselves, laid low to grow stronger over years or decades, then struck back to reclaim the throne.

But by handing over that fruit, she’d not only befriended the overlord Brook but also quashed the rebellion in hours and successfully restored her rule.

Most importantly, this chick got Brook to personally crown her as queen. Wasn’t that basically a get-out-of-jail-free card?

If Daene Targary managed to spark even a hint of something ambiguous with Brook, she might end up strutting around the Hell Pirates’ turf like she owned it.

Originally, after taking down the Night King Arzuka, Brook could’ve headed back to base. But he seemed to remember his promise to crown Dragon Mother Daene Targary, so he stuck around for another day or two.

He had Golden Lion Shiki float the dragon tomb up and take it along—the dragon corpses inside were already reserved for the next Shadow-Shadow Fruit user.

Over in another sea, the Roger Pirates probably never imagined Brook would once again lift the whole nest, eggs and all, along with the chunk of land.

Their idea of blocking the cave to keep others from finding the dragon eggs? Shiki shattered it with raw power, scooping up the entire thing.

With the Hell Pirates cracking down, Westeros Kingdom quickly stabilized and reunified. The surviving generals’ armies were seized and placed under Daene Targary’s control.

In front of the people of Westeros Kingdom, Brook crowned Daene Targary, granting her the title of queen and establishing the nation’s absolute legitimacy!

Daene Targary seized the moment to throw a grand banquet. With Brook backing her, she expanded her influence—and it was also a chance to keep him around longer, maybe spark a little romantic tale.

Like heading to the farm to milk cows together, or to the mill to grind soy milk, or grabbing some street food like meat buns...

Happy times always fly by.

As the Hell Pirates’ flying fleet departed, Westeros Kingdom’s new queen Daene Targary returned to her palace, still savoring the moments.

Now, she was the absolute ruler of this nation!

From here on, she was a queen with powerful backing, guarding the northern borders for Brook. And if the seed inside her took root and sprouted, she might even ascend to Sky Island Baron’s heights one day! 𝙛𝓻𝒆𝒆𝒘𝙚𝓫𝙣𝙤𝒗𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢

Brook had left her a few evolved beasts from Merveille, each as strong as a Marine commodore—more than enough to help her maintain stability in Westeros Kingdom!

"Hmph! Everyone knows I only had one mythical zoan-type Ice Frost Giant Dragon fruit, and they mock me for not eating it myself. But how could you all know that this queen was already a devil fruit user!!"

Daene Targary’s purple eyes shifted to vertical slits, white dragon scales emerging on her hands.

"Father, ancestors of the Targary—you were all fools, hoarding treasures without knowing how to use them. Destiny is mine! I’ll follow in Brook-sama’s footsteps and climb to the pinnacle of this world!!"

"Roar~"

A white Western dragon appeared within the palace of Westeros Kingdom, its sharp twin horns and broad feathered wings commanding awe. Even the evolved beasts bowed their heads in reverence to the superior power!
