The Sea Star viewers soon noticed something strange.
All the livestream channels following the delegations combined totaled only twenty-three.
Normally, there should have been fifty kings representing the nations attending the Reverie.
But there were not even half that number. Where were the other twenty-seven?
In Impel Down.
Some viewers who knew quite a bit of inside information, or were local citizens themselves, more or less knew about the Royal Family Grand Rebellion that had occurred some time ago.
Those royal nobles unwilling to relinquish their royal power had raised armies in rebellion, only to be swiftly suppressed by the World Government's Navy and police within three short months!
A small number of royal nobles had died in the fighting. Most, however, had first been sent to Enies Lobby for trial, then imprisoned in different "hells" of Impel Down according to their crimes.
The kingdoms that had lost their royal nobles had, in fact, already been taken over by World Government officials.
Government compounds, Police Stations, public primary and secondary schools, World Hospitals, and other facilities were even under construction.
They merely had to wait until the Reverie ended before making it official.
Ten in the morning.
While George and Bullet's Paramount War within RL1111 Area was still raging fiercely.
Inside the World Kings Conference Room of the World Government's new headquarters building in RL0001 District.
Fifteen Sea Star Homeworld national leaders, led by King Nefertari Cobra, Riku Doldo III, the Ramen King, the Drum King, King Neptune, and King Loki.
Sat around an enormous round table with eight national leaders from various worlds, including Muzan Kibutsuji, Ayame Yomogawa, Qin Hao, Sara, and Cain, under the gaze of nearly twenty billion viewers.
It was worth mentioning that Amazon Lily Kingdom had sent Flame Flower, the queen from three generations ago.
