I'm a pirate

Carlos secretly met John Matt who wasn't sleeping and was always paying attention to the situation, and then used the Short Term Other God to silently change John Matt's will, as long as it didn't exceed the duration of this technique, John Matt wouldn't notice any abnormality.

The duration of this Short Term Other God was half a month, and half a month was enough time for Carlos to achieve his ultimate goal.

This was the power of the Devil Fruit, not the power of chakra, no very special ability, mainly involving the soul in person, could not detect any abnormality.

Even if there was a similar means of white eyes, it wouldn't be detected, because there was no abnormal chakra on John Marte.

After that, Carlos left.

Not long after Carlos left, shocking news spread one after another, especially the death of John's family patriarch, John Abad, one of the five godfathers of the Western Sea, which set off a twelve-stage earthquake within the John family, leaving the John family with no energy to care about anything else.

The top brass of the John family, John Abad's sons and other relatives climbed up in the middle of the night and gathered in the castle on the top of the mountain to make arrangements for various matters, the most important of which was John Abad's death!

It took a torturous night for the professional medical team to scalp John Abad and report the results of his autopsy, but the results given made the John family furious, saying something about a violent death

The medical team in charge of the autopsy had no choice, based on John Abad's physical condition, although there were some minor health problems, but not enough to die violently, and no acute illnesses like heart disease.

But the body was turned over and tested n times, and dissected, and the hair was shaved, and no wounds were found, and there were no signs of poisoning, and it was just a weird death.

It doesn't have to be a violent death to explain it, what does it have to be?

I guess John Abbad died of some unknown disease. The world is full of weird diseases.

Of course there are many who suspect that John Abad was murdered, but there's no trace to be found, so suspicions are just suspicions.

We can't just leave the corpse here and wait, can we?

Put these things aside for now, let's hold a funeral first to calm the people and prepare to elect a new clan chief.

As for how exactly John Abad died, we'll look into it in detail after the new clan chief takes office.

John Abad's funeral was held for five days and five nights, during which a lot of various dignitaries from the West Sea came.

Representatives of the remaining four major mafia families in the West Sea, the heads of the affiliated mafia families, bigwigs from various industries in the West Sea, and even officials from the world government came, all in all, John Abad was still very glamorous despite his death.

The tree was still in the middle of the funeral, but for the position of patriarch, godfather, John Abad's sons, nephews were already competing at the funeral, even though John's family was still in the middle of the funeral.

Most of the forces in the West Sea were family-based, and the concept of family was even more important than the concept of country, like the John family, the rules in the family were actually very strict.

The difference between the first line, the side line is obvious, although the side line is not no room for upward mobility, but the position of the patriarch and the side line is nothing to do with, unless the power is enough to overpower the first line.

The first line of the John family is the one that John Abad is in, this one controls the main power within the family, not only holding the position of the head of the family in his hands, but also occupying more than half of the power in the council of elders.

The council of elders in John's family consisted of peers or elders with John Abad, and the first line held more than half of the power so that the position of head of the family could be secure.

In order to fight for that position, like a prince taking over the throne, the sons and nephews of John Abbad each had their own means.

Bribes, secret threats, calculations and counter-calculations, brotherly love and other means to dazzle people.

However, during the funeral, the people who are qualified to fight for the position of the head of the family is quite restrained, although all sorts of tactics, but has not started to fight, the struggle is still under control.

However, once the funeral was over, the struggle was suddenly fierce, and in addition to their greed, lust for power, and the encouragement of their men, Carlos' hidden darkness played a major role in fueling it.

Carlos is very insidious, and while he is helping John Marte by allowing him to occupy one of the favorites for the patriarch's candidacy at a relatively young age, he is never helping him to lay a winner.

And let's not help, Carlos is still secretly helping other candidates, trying to make the gap between the contenders is not too big, and make efforts to make the John family keep internalizing, the more they fight fire, the more ruthless the tactics!

The security of the whole of Margolin Island was quite affected, and from time to time, a gunfight or something would break out somewhere, or someone would suddenly be killed, and some unfortunate people would be affected.

All sorts of tactics are being used, and they're getting dirtier and dirtier and dirtier!

The city government of Margolin Island can't help it, they are supposed to be the face of the John family in plain sight, a shroud of shame, where do they care if the John family's infighting goes?

Come on, make a show of it, fool the people.

It wasn't until the tenth day after Abad's death that things changed, and the whole situation took a drastic turn for the worse, with one contender after another being quickly eliminated from the game.

Those with a bit of luck managed to stay alive, and those unlucky enough to be dead were all dead along with their loyalists.

Then another day later, one of the popular candidates, John Matt, officially emerged as the one who had the most power and the most support, through various overt or covert means, and was confirmed to be the next head of the John family, one of the new five godfathers.

All that was required was that after a special ceremony, he would be able to make a name for himself.

An invitation was distributed the night before the ceremony was to take place.

The ceremony was divided into two parts, day and night, the daytime attendees were celebrities, giants, who were all on good terms with the John family anyway; the nighttime was the testimony of the John family's inner circle, the testimony of the John family's own power players and the affiliated mafia family patriarchs.

Only after this special ceremony, he was the real head of the John family, one of the five godfathers of the West Sea.

Chapter 66 - Theft (above)

On this day, before dawn, the entire John family residence was bustling with activity, many servants had already started working under the command of the various stewards, preparing food, setting up the venue and so on.

After John Marte became the next heir to the House of John, Carlos offered to be by his side to see, to see what the ceremony meant, and John Marte specifically said that he had already been influenced by the other gods, or not, and would not deny Carlos this request.

After all, Carlos was one of the big contributors to his rise to power, but of course following John Marte couldn't wear that iconic black on red cloud costume with the spiral mask.

Carlos changed into a bizarre fox mask, styled after the kind of mask used by the dark side of Konoha in Naruto, and wore a black red-striped suit to follow John Marte as a sidekick.

John Matt was going to be busy today, as the new patriarch of the John family, the new godfather, he was needed to show his face and meet a lot of respectable people who were well connected or at least working with the John family.

Carlos followed John Matt's welcoming party from the time the first guest appeared in the morning until the arrival of the last heavyweight near noon, after which came the solemn ceremony.

The ceremony Carlos had no interest in participating in and made an excuse to slip away, running to the cafeteria area and taking enough time to slip away for now.

Sneaking up to the top of the hill where the John family resided, he removed his mask, opened his white eyes, watched the movement of the venue, and slowly began to enjoy the food.

Naturally, the John family was not bad at all, there was all the food, not to mention the taste of the Western Sea, and some great voyages, other sea delicacies.

In a silent display of deep heritage, the John family may not be ranked among the world's major powers in terms of strength, but in terms of all kinds of enjoyment, they are still very good at it.

After the ceremony, it was a banquet, eat, drink, dance, provoke the man, the girl, listen to some high music, see the high performance, what a high society!

After Carlos finished eating, he didn't have any free time and ran off to dance and waltz as well.

Although he didn't know how to, it wasn't difficult, learning it wasn't even difficult for him, just copy the moves with a normal write-down.

Not to mention, Carlos is still quite popular, the mask on his face is quite eye-catching, coupled with a well-proportioned and perfect body, from time to time there will be girls of various colors of long dresses enthusiastically invited him to dance.

He went to ask girls who looked pleasing to the eye to dance and no one refused him!

Of course, you can't refuse even if you want to under the implication of the writers.

Carlos was one of the prettiest boys at the ball!

The whole afternoon was spent playing, not just dancing of course, and it was a lot of fun, and Carlos's horizons were broadened even more.

As night fell and the bright moon and stars dimmed, covered by dark clouds, after dinner the guests left one after another, and naturally a servant came to clean up the mess.
