Early the next morning.
The worldwide live broadcast had begun.
Countless people sat before Visual Den Den Mushi or large screens, watching the live footage.
For the first time in history, the Reverie was being broadcast live to the entire world.
Everyone was curious about what impact this Reverie would have on the seas.
This was also the first Reverie attended by Great Pirates from the New World.
Yet the World Government had raised no objections.
The broadcast officially began.
There was no elaborate entrance ceremony.
When the footage appeared, the leaders of the various kingdoms were already seated.
Saint Nusjuro stood at the podium at the front.
The World Government had not truly dissolved yet, so he was its representative. After all, aside from Saint Garling, he was the only one of the Five Elders who still held the greatest authority within the World Government.
The entire conference chamber was spacious and oval-shaped.
The thirteen seats reserved for the Great Powers stood behind Saint Nusjuro, offering a clear view of everyone in the other seats and signifying their elevated status.
The thirteen seats were separate from one another.
The kings of the Great Powers sat in their respective places.
This was a historic moment. Perhaps diplomats or representatives would attend in their place in the future, but this time, they had all come in person.
Some of those present were familiar faces, while others were strangers.
Hades sat in the third seat on the right.
Harald, King of the Giant Kingdom of Elbaf, sat near the center.
This arrangement had also taken the Giant Tribe's enormous size into account.
If he had been seated in front of the podium, he would undoubtedly have blocked the view from many seats.
Surprisingly, "Black Emperor" Marshall D. Teach was seated among them
