The Name of the Overlords

This resounding victory caught the people of the Christie Kingdom completely off guard; the Christie Kingdom had easily conquered three kingdoms.

As they marched on, they faced a massive army and surrendered without resistance.

Soon, as news spread from within the Three Kingdoms, everyone learned that chaos had already broken out within the kingdoms since the start of the war, with the royal family and key figures of the kingdoms being killed.

The ones who made the move were members of the Night Pirates.

In reality, a large portion of the high-ranking officials of the three kingdoms were assassinated by agents of the Christie Kingdom. However, such things cannot be done in the open, so naturally, the blame was placed on the Night Pirates.

This is not about taking the blame; on the contrary, it has increased the power of the Night Pirates, allowing them to disrupt the order of the three kingdoms single-handedly.

The Christie Kingdom easily conquered the territories of the three kingdoms, and the Christie Kingdom and Saint Louis Island were reunited.

The Night Pirates' reputation soared in the Christie Kingdom, making the people of the Christie Kingdom realize that the Night Pirates were not their enemies.

But why would the Night Pirates help the Christie Kingdom? What kind of deal were they making? This raises some questions.

Soon, they learned that in just one day, the army of the Christie Kingdom had completely conquered the three kingdoms.

Many years ago, when the three kingdoms first split from the Christie Kingdom, the eastern part of Saint Louis Island was relatively remote, and the center of the kingdom was in the western part, because the capital city was also located in the western part of the center of Saint Louis Island.

With the establishment of the kingdom and years of development, the region where the three kingdoms are located has greatly increased in both economy and population. Facing a powerful opponent like the Christie Kingdom, and under tremendous pressure, it has developed rapidly.

However, now, it has completely benefited the Christie Kingdom.

The high-ranking officials of the Christie Kingdom were all smiles. With the end of this great purge and the arrival of the army, the Christie Kingdom easily took over the three kingdoms. In less than a month, everything would be back on track.

The next morning, given the magnitude of yesterday's events and the news from the palace, they knew that the king would be giving another live broadcast.

Therefore, many people got up early and gathered in front of the big screen, making this morning unusually lively.

Meanwhile, rumors began to circulate, and everyone guessed that the content of this live stream was definitely related to the Christie Kingdom and the Night Pirates.

Members of the Night Pirates have already been spotted in the royal city of Greatel, and are believed to be inside the palace.

At eight o'clock sharp in the morning, the big screen lit up, showing the image of King Mello, facing them directly.

The moment King Mello appeared, many citizens cheered. This was not only due to yesterday's somewhat dreamlike victory, as the war had been won so easily, but also because it fulfilled the grand ambition of unifying Saint Louis Island —a wish cherished by countless citizens of the Christie Kingdom.

Furthermore, King Mello's prestige in the Christie Kingdom was indeed very high, coupled with the accumulated reputation of the Chris royal family over generations.

"Ahem!" King Mello stood in front of the palace with a microphone in front of him. With King Mello's light cough, many people quieted down, and the noisy street soon became quiet with only the sound of breathing.

Such scenes were clearly visible throughout Saint Louis Island, and even the residents who originally belonged to the three countries, the citizens located in the eastern part of Saint Louis Island, listened attentively.

With the unification of the kingdom, although it has not yet been on the right track, the Christie Kingdom has already gained control of most of the country in a short period of time. As long as there is an army, no one can cause any trouble.

Their identities changed in a single day, but it had no impact on them. Only their king changed, and there was no resistance. They were all from Saint Louis Island, originally belonging to the Christie Kingdom. After the chaos, some people were actually happy about the unification of the kingdom.

This means that there will be no more wars on Saint Louis Island, and the Christie Kingdom will undoubtedly be stronger and better able to protect them.

The demands of people at the bottom of society are actually that simple.

Now, they also want to know what their king wants to say.

"We are all Saint Louis Island Islanders."

As an excellent king, his words carry weight, giving everyone a unified identity and eliminating the barriers that originally existed between different countries.

The same thing happened when the Tiresfa Kingdom was unified; that's the art of language.

"I am delighted that Saint Louis Island has been reunited, and I congratulate all the people of Saint Louis Island."

Upon hearing this, residents throughout Saint Louis Island cheered, as did residents who originally belonged to the three countries. As fellow Saint Louis Island, they undoubtedly felt a strong sense of resonance.

"Furthermore, I must mention the great heroes of this war," King Mello said.

Many people's eyes lit up and they pricked up their ears. Here they come! Everyone knows that the greatest contributor to this war is the Night Pirates.

They didn't know how the members of the Night Pirates within the Three Kingdoms made their move, but the terrifying power of "Dark Emperor" Teach was undoubtedly deeply ingrained in their minds; they had all witnessed it firsthand.

His terrifying Conqueror's Haki, with sheer force of will, annihilated an army of over a million, easily killing the commander of the three-nation coalition. His actions in such a short time left an unforgettable impression on them.

The scene shifted to the other side, shocking everyone: the main members of the Night Pirates were all present.

With the Sag Rose Sea becoming the territory of the Night Pirates, Saint Louis Island located within the Sag Rose Sea, many people from the Christie Kingdom naturally pay close attention to information about the Night Pirates.

Yesterday's battle, the Night Pirates' intervention, and now their reappearance in the Kingdom of the Christie Kingdom —some people have a thought forming in their minds.

"From this day forward, Saint Louis Island will fly the flag of the Dark Night Pirates and accept their protection."

King Mello's voice rang out, reaching everyone's ears. This was undoubtedly shocking news, but it was nothing unusual; it was normal for a kingdom in the New World to seek refuge with Great Pirate.

Otherwise, with just a word, countless pirates would swarm to a country and bring it down in a short time.

However, planting a flag changes things; it signifies that the kingdom directly belongs to the pirates' territory.

However, very few people have noticed this problem.

King Mello continued forward, heading towards the Night Pirates.

Of the three at the front, Teach stood in the middle, with Rediat and Ares standing on his left and right respectively.

They stood in the open space in front of the palace. King Mello walked down a few steps and came to Teach and his companions.

Facing Teach and his men, he, the king, dared not stand in a higher place.

"Mr. Teach, Mr. Rediat, Mr. Ares," King Mello said, raising his head slightly. After all, he was only of normal height, a little over two meters, while Teach and Rediat were both over three meters tall, close to four meters.

Needless to say, Ares, with his towering nine-meter frame, is even taller than Kaido of the Beasts and Big Mom, who are now the Sea Emperor.

Before him, they were like giants.

Moreover, unlike Teach and Rediat, who could perfectly conceal their auras, Ares wasn't incapable of concealing them, but rather had no need to. His god-like body exuded a terrifying aura.

Moreover, he also knew that Ares was not a person in essence, but a monster, a monster that had become a human.

King Mello was able to suppress his inner fear and not show it, which was quite remarkable.

Through the lens, at such close range, the entire nation of the Christie Kingdom could clearly see the figures of the three main characters of the Night Pirates.

One can also clearly feel the domineering nature of the "Dark Emperor," the arrogance of the "Shadow Dragon," and the ferocity of the "Fierce God." This inherent unnaturalness is noticeable, and they do not deliberately hide it.

Meanwhile, Teach and his men watched King Mello quietly; they were prepared for this, as outlined in the treaty.

"As the King of the Christie Kingdom, on behalf of the people of the Christie Kingdom, and indeed the inhabitants of the entire Sagros Sea, I bestow upon you the title of 'Dominator,' granting you the titles of Darkness, Shadow, and Blood War. I hope you will accept this." With that, King Mello lowered his head slightly before his entire nation.

This is necessary so that the difference in status between the two can be clearly seen.

His words did not represent himself, but rather the entire population of the Sagros Sea. As the King of the Christie Kingdom, he had the right to say so.

The Christie Kingdom, situated on a super-large island, is a major power and a strong nation in the New World. Located in the Sagarros Sea, the Christie Kingdom also wields extraordinary influence.

Even with the constraints imposed by the three kingdoms, it maintained good relations and trade with most of the other kingdoms in the Sagarros Sea.

Now that the three kingdoms have been annexed, the other countries in the Sagros Sea are all small countries compared to the Christie Kingdom.

Similarly, the title "Dominator" says it all. The Dominator, the one who rules over everything, Teach and his group are not only the rulers of Saint Louis Island, but also the rulers of the Sager-Ross Sea.

This is an unprecedented title. The highest title a king can bestow is Grand Duke, and bestowing this title upon Teach and his group is not within his authority.

Rather, it was the people of Saint Louis Island and the Sague Ross Sea who bestowed the titles upon Teach and his ilk.

Now, many people understood, and even those who didn't understand after being explained and told their stories by those around them.

They knew that things had changed; the Christie Kingdom, the Saint Louis Island, had truly changed.

Their rulers changed, from King Mello to the Night Pirates, and then to "Dark Emperor" Teach.

Residents on the eastern side of Saint Louis Island were somewhat bewildered, as the sky above them seemed to have changed twice in a single day.

What will become of the kingdom? More importantly, what will happen to King Mello and the Chris royal family? What impact will this have on them?

This was undoubtedly something they needed to consider. In a short time, the astute had already thought of these things, but they remained silent, waiting to see what would happen next, because they knew that it was not over yet.

Moreover, they had already witnessed the terrifying power of the Night Pirates and Teach's formidable strength firsthand, so no one would be so foolish as to act in this situation.

Moreover, it is their king who is saying these things now. The king has more to consider than they do, and they have no right to make decisions for King Mello.

"Then we accept, King Mello." Teach smiled slightly and nodded.

Rediat and Ares nodded in agreement.

From now on, they have another title: "Dominator," "Dark Dominator," "Shadow Master," and "Blood War Dominator."

Although it is currently limited to the Sagarros Sea, they believe that it will soon spread throughout the world, and when they possess true power, they will naturally be recognized by others.

Teach's words also relieved some intelligent people. He still referred to their king as "King," indicating that King Mello remained the King of the Christie Kingdom.

Their biggest fear was that King Mello would abdicate and become a pirate. There were many such examples in the New World, but how could a pirate be a good king?

In just a few years, a perfectly good country could be turned into a complete mess, even becoming Paradise for pirates and a chaotic place, which is something they simply cannot accept.

Upon seeing this, King Mello knew that the next step had arrived, a process that required acceptance by the people.

"Furthermore, under the King, a Supreme Consul will be appointed. The Consul will form a cabinet to manage national affairs. Internal decisions will be made by vote. The King, as the leader of the kingdom, will have the right to supervise and will be able to veto any unreasonable orders from the cabinet." King Mello said, glancing at Mostima, who was already prepared behind Teach and the others.

"The choice for Supreme Commander has been made; Mr. Mostima will assume the position."

Mostima smiled, stepped forward slowly, and bowed slightly in greeting.

"Yes, King Mello!"

The king's supervisory power was changed later, taking into account that the king, as a member of the cabinet, was actually subordinate to the highest executive official, so it was transformed into a supervisory power.

This also gave King Mello face, but this supervisory power was practically meaningless to the Night Pirates.

This is undoubtedly explosive news. The handling of national affairs has changed to someone from the Night Pirates, "Chercaranda" Mostima, who has formed a cabinet. Mostima has undoubtedly acquired the power of a king, and has placed the king outside the royal hierarchy.

Fortunately, the king still has the right to oversee and can veto cabinet decisions, which ensures the interests of the Christie Kingdom and the safety of its citizens.

This is just a brief overview; the formation of the cabinet is not that simple, and there is still much work to be done.

The live stream ended quickly. During the broadcast, Teach assured everyone that the members of the Night Pirates would not disrupt the lives of the citizens of the Christie Kingdom, and that any negative behavior would be dealt with accordingly.

The Dark Emperor's promise dispelled many people's concerns.

In the short term, apart from the core crew, the officers, and the elites, Teach had no intention of letting any other members recruited later set foot on Saint Louis Island.

After all, pirates are difficult to control, so it's best to train them first; otherwise, it could have negative consequences.

It will take time for the Christie Kingdom to adapt to the Night Pirates.

Within the Christie Kingdom, the newly formed cabinet still has much to be done.
