Chapter 62

On the spacious and soft bed, the King of the Dunas Kingdom was fast asleep, one arm around a beautiful woman.

He was a tough guy in the traditional sense, with a strong physique, thick arms, bulging muscles, and a lot of body hair, including a full beard and a chest hair so thick it looked like he was wearing a sweater.

At this moment, the mighty king frowned slightly in his sleep.

Knock, knock, knock.

A crisp sound rang out again, seemingly the sound of fingers tapping on glass.

Who is it?

King Gaston finally awoke from his sleep, rubbing his sleepy eyes as he looked in the direction the sound came from—

Etc!

Gaston was stunned for a moment.

That's a window!

"Who!"

King Gaston practically jumped out of bed in an instant, grabbing a robe from the side and putting it on.

Are another reckless pirate coming?

However, his bedroom was located at the highest point of the palace, and the balcony was practically half-empty! Did he climb all the way up there?

Squeak.

The glass window was pushed open.

A figure walked in.

Gaston was taken aback.

He knows this person!

I just saw news about this guy in the newspaper a couple of days ago!

He was tall, wore a signature double-horned helmet, and had two curled mustaches that turned upwards, with an even thicker beard on his chin.

"Bandi World!!"

Gaston almost screamed out the name of the person who had just arrived.

Just two days ago, he was a monster who fought against former Marine Admiral Black Arm Zephyr, the Beasts Pirates, and the Big Mom Pirates!

And it wasn't just Bandi World alone; several figures followed him in through the window.

With jet-black wings on her back and raging flames burning behind her head, she was the Lunarian Tribe woman who even Charlotte Katakuri couldn't handle!

With his signature crescent-shaped mustache, just like Whitebeard's, and his goofy expression, it's Edward Weevil!

The short, stout swordsman, Swift Sword Salt!

A strong and robust man, the Nation-Stealing General Anthony!

All those guys I saw in the newspaper are here!

But why?

Why are they here?

Gaston didn't understand.

This country isn't exactly wealthy, and it doesn't have any vital resources. They can't possibly be here to steal our food, can they?

"You may kneel down and swear allegiance now."

Naito stopped and spoke calmly.

Kneel down?

Gaston's cheek muscles twitched, and his teeth clenched so tightly they made a grinding sound.

Who do you think I am?!

The burly king suddenly roared.

His fists were clenched tightly, veins bulging on his arms, and a domineering, dark Haki Coating them.

"Get out of this country!"

Gaston's thick right leg muscles trembled, and the expensive floor tiles beneath his feet shattered instantly. Gaston was enveloped in the wind, but the wind could not catch up with him.

A massive, jet-black fist, as big as a sandbag, hurtled straight at Naito's face.

"Hey, you fool, you're asking for it!"

Anthony immediately stepped forward, grinning coldly, "Making you kneel is an honor! Lord Night King, leave this guy to me!"

He also raised his fist.

The next instant, two jet-black, heavy fists collided violently, and a dull thud exploded in the room like thunder, making everyone's eardrums ring.

The violent shockwave from the impact swept outwards, shattering valuable vases and ornaments in its path, sending fragments flying everywhere.

The heavy bed was completely overturned and crashed heavily into the corner of the wall. The two women on the bed screamed and rolled to the ground, their faces filled with horror as they were pinned underneath.

"Ugh!"

Anthony, who had been so aggressive, suddenly changed his expression and Return.

He looked at Gaston, who stood firmly in place, with some surprise. This guy has some skill!

Naito nodded slightly.

Their strength is indeed not weak; they are at least at the level of the Tobi Roppo.

No wonder he is called the guardian of this country.

It's not surprising; many countries in the New World have highly skilled individuals among their native inhabitants.

Leaving aside the Giant Kingdom and Wano Country, Dressrosa still has Kyros.

Just then, a voice rang out from outside the opposite door, "Your Majesty! What happened? We heard a loud bang—"

Luna, standing behind Naito, suddenly widened her eyes, and an invisible aura roared out.

The sounds outside the door immediately disappeared.

"Miss Luna, so you do have Conqueror's Haki?"

Buckingham was somewhat surprised.

I've never used it before!

Luna remained silent, her face cold.

As a top-tier follower, she naturally possesses all Three Types of Haki, and her Conqueror's Haki Awakening early on. However, her control over it is somewhat rougher than Knight 'Naito, and she can only barely manage to avoid accidentally harming her own people.

"However, Anthony,"

Seeing Anthony's discomfiture, Salt, holding his sword, mocked, "If you can't handle it, then find someone else."

Who are you saying is no good?

Anthony's body was expanding, but not too much; he simply covered himself with a thick layer of fur, transforming into a hybrid form of human and bear.

Beastman form!

Gaston's face immediately turned even uglier.

"I've lost my patience."

Naito raised his hand.

His abilities were already very close to evolving, and he didn't want to waste a single second.

Before Gaston could even react, an invisible, gigantic arm had already grabbed his body, injecting Haki into him simultaneously.

Wow!

Gaston let out a scream.

What terrifying power!

There's no way to break free!

Anthony, who was preparing to attack in his orc form, froze. Oh no, will the Night King blame me for being so useless?

Naito, of course, had no time to reprimand him; he was preparing to use threats and inducements.

The tough- Gaston suddenly screamed, "I surrender! I surrender! Lord World! I'm willing to kneel down!! Please spare me!"

"Ah?"

Salt gave a slightly surprised twitch of his lips.

Weren't they just acting like they'd rather die than submit?

"Oh?"

Naito also found it amusing, "How did you come to that conclusion?"

"Because I don't want to die!"

Gaston screamed.

If it's not a matter of life and death, then of course he can be the toughest of tough guys.

But the current situation is that if we continue to hold out, we'll be eliminated!

"Interesting."

The man chuckled softly. "Then don't resist."

Dream-Dream Fruit, activate!

Don't resist? Don't resist what?

Just as Gaston was feeling lost, a strong sense of drowsiness suddenly washed over him.

Is this what you mean?

The next instant, Gaston, who offered no resistance, lost consciousness.

"Very good!"

Buckingham immediately flattered, "In that case, Lord Night King, this country is completely yours!"

Gaston, revered as a national hero by everyone in the country, wielded absolute authority.

"Haha, in that case,"

Salt smiled excitedly, "In this country, we can do whatever we want, right?"

"Do whatever you want?"

Naito paused, then turned to look at him. "What do you want to do with my things?"

"... this!"
