The Starry moved forward slowly. Ronglin raised his hand once more, and his words remained as simple as ever: "Return! I will make new strategic arrangements and wipe away every humiliation you have suffered!"
"Yes!" Another thunderous roar rang out.
The ships that had come to greet them spread out neatly to either side, allowing the Starry to advance slowly through the center, always leading the formation. The ships that had scattered then gradually merged into the ranks behind, returning in a slow pyramid formation.
Ashil Imperial Palace, council chamber.
The Ashil Royal Family still governed the nation, but after the Ashil Rampage Incident, having received Ronglin's protection, they understood that Ronglin would be the one truly ruling this country from now on. Thus, they willingly accepted the fact that Ronglin was the Supreme Emperor.
Fortunately, aside from continually arranging for his troops to be stationed here and protect the place, Ronglin basically did not interfere in state affairs. This made the Ashil Royal Family even more wholeheartedly devoted to him.
Now that Ronglin had returned and convened a full assembly at the imperial palace, the throne at the head of the room naturally belonged to him. However, the Ashil Royal Family had also been given a seat, which left them immensely excited.
Standing behind Ronglin were Jinbe, Jazz, Caesar, Burgess, and Capone. At the conference table, starting from the left, sat Gecko Moria, followed by the former leaders of the various factions. Starting from the right were Hawkins and Anrield, followed by ship captains within the fleet who had distinguished themselves in battle.
Capone's appearance brought a trace of shock and admiration to many people's eyes. They had not expected their leader to subdue another figure of this caliber after going out for a trip. He truly was formidable.
