Luo Lang Swann is the king of the North Sea, and has been in charge of the North Sea for many years. His power is deeply rooted and many people rely on him for their livelihood.
So.
Even if Du Ge took his horn of the sea, and killed him unexpectedly, he did not truly conquer Luo Lang Swann's North Sea fleet.
It's like a big shot going out, and then being stabbed by a little punk, and having his weapon taken away. The little punk raises the big shot's weapon and says to everyone, "From now on, I am the big shot."
Then, the big shot's subordinates vie for submission, which is simply unrealistic.
Even though the sea monster Enke temporarily deterred Luo Lang Swann's entourage, the pirates still had their own thoughts and plans.
Relying on a sea monster Enke is not enough to become the king of the North Sea.
Paul is too young, and can't make many pirates believe in him.
It's fine for him to let Antonio go.
But the mistake is that Paul shouldn't have announced his intention to join forces with the navy and attack Mahamadu without having conquered the territory of the North Sea king.
This seems impulsive and extremely childish.
It's not that you can't cooperate with the navy.
For the sake of interests, the King of the Four Seas has cooperated with the Royal Navy many times, but those were all done in private.
For Paul to do it so openly, it's like pushing himself to the opposite side of all the pirates, violating a major taboo of the pirates.
And.
When Luo Lang Swann's men learned from the pirates of Hede Island that Paul had made a pink pirate flag, forced the crew to wear pink skirts and dance during the battle, and added a fish suffix to the names, they felt even more insecure.
Only the kings of the fallen countries would do something like that...
...
Du Ge naturally knew what the pirates were thinking, but he didn't care. After all, this was a simulation field, no matter how well it was managed, he couldn't stay here.
Having skills is enough.
Du Ge obviously didn't have so much patience with Luo Lang Swann's subordinates.
Riding on the sea monster Enke, he went around and added a fish suffix to everyone's name.
The sea monster Enke had a lot of face.
Du Ge tirelessly exchanged pleasantries with everyone who had changed their names.
He flew at a speed that was almost like flying, and went all the way, exchanging pleasantries with everyone.
Even if there were 150 people on each of the hundred ships, it would only take a moment to finish.
In the eyes of most people, Du Ge seemed like a lunatic, but he was tireless.
After all, every time he touched a fish, his strength would increase by a point. Even a mosquito's leg is still meat.
Among the more than 10,000 people, there were bound to be hidden talents.
Du Ge couldn't be bothered to distinguish them.
When they couldn't hide anymore, these guys would naturally jump out.
The two previous simulation fields had already proven that most of these hidden talents couldn't amount to much. Moreover, they had become his private property and would unconsciously be influenced by him.
After being touched by Du Ge, Luo Lang Swann's subordinates were still restless, but none of them left on their own initiative.
The speed at which Du Ge revealed himself when exchanging pleasantries was too fast. They discovered that Paul's strength far exceeded that of an ordinary person, and with the sea monster swimming nearby, they decided to observe a little longer.
...
In the next few days, Du Ge did not leave Hede Island, but instead sent out scouts to spread information.
"Paul Wells killed Luo Lang Swann, took control of the sea monster Enke, defeated Antonio, and resolved the crisis on Hede Island."
"Paul Wells has proclaimed himself the King of the North Sea and is about to expedition to Mahamadu to avenge the witch He Ya."
"To find the Trident of the Sea God, you need the Golden Compass. To find the Golden Compass, you need the Map of Destiny."
"Mahamadu has a Map of Destiny in his hands."
"Admiral Mikaro has a Map of Destiny in his hands."
"The sea witch Selma is offering a hefty reward..."
"The King of the South Sea, Safla Kneel, is suspected to be controlled by a ghost..."
"Paul Wells has offered a reward. A Map of Destiny can be exchanged for 200,000 gold coins on Hede Island."
"The Fish Era is coming. It is said that adding a fish suffix to your name can increase your luck..."
"The King of the South Sea, Safla, has offered a reward. A Map of Destiny can be exchanged for 300,000 gold coins on Phoenix Tail Island..."
"The King of the West Sea, Jon Ludi, has offered a reward. A Map of Destiny can be exchanged for 310,000 gold coins on Watch Sea Island..."
"The King of the East Sea, Mahamadu, has offered a reward. A Map of Destiny can be exchanged for 350,000 gold coins on Show Mountain Island..."
"Emi Swann has announced her succession as the King of the North Sea, calling on the old subordinates who expeditioned to Hede Island to return, and summoning pirates to join the North Sea, declaring her intention to avenge Luo Lang Swann."
"Emi Swann has offered a reward. A Map of Destiny can be exchanged for 300,000 gold coins on Green Island."
"Emi Swann is seeking information about Selma, and a valid piece of information is worth 500 gold coins..."
"Admiral Mikaro has announced the cancellation of the reward for Paul Wells."
"The Dufi family has announced the cancellation of the reward for Paul Wells.""The Royal Navy has issued a bounty; a piece of the Destiny Sea Chart can be exchanged for 300,000 gold coins at Silver Mountain Port."
...
Patiently waiting for the news to ferment, there's nothing faster than actively spreading rumors.
A few days after the incident on Hurd Island spread, all sorts of explosive news filled the skies, some disseminated by Du Ge, and some by others.
The pirate circles became livelier than ever before, even more frenzied than when the news of the search for the Trident of the Sea God had spread.
After all.
The Trident of the Sea God is too elusive; any pirate with a bit of self-awareness wouldn't bother searching for it. With that effort, they might as well honestly plunder a few merchant ships!
Even if one were to have the luck of the devil and actually find it, there's no guarantee they could keep it.
But the Destiny Sea Chart is different.
A piece of the Destiny Sea Chart means at least 300,000 gold coins, enough for them to plunder for how many years?
Most crucially, there's also the hefty reward for Selma's offspring.
That's the accumulation of Selma's lifetime of wealth, just find her, fire a shot, and the wealth is in hand.
This deal is simply the dream every man yearns for in their sleep.
No one doesn't want to give it a try.
...
Sea monster Encke, Selma, the Age of Fish, examinee, keywords, skills, attributes...
On a hung-up cardboard, densely packed with handwriting, each term had an arrow drawn from it, pointing to the central name—Paul Wals.
The white-haired Mikalo pointed the map stick at the word "examinee": "This is the core of the problem."
Saying this.
He turned his head to look at the several generals in the conference room, "A few days ago, the marshal captured a special person from the navy, who incited a 50-man naval team to desert and succeeded. He fled to a remote small town, killed the town's governor, and declared the town's taxes abolished...
After the Intelligence Department captured him, they obtained the same information from him.
Examinees are a group of people who do not belong to this world, who have obtained the right to live in this world through parasitism, and each of them has something called a keyword. Through the keyword, they can grow very rapidly.
The person previously captured by the Intelligence Department, his keyword was 'freedom.' To capture him, we lost more than sixty navy men.
Clearly, their threat is far greater than that of pirates.
The information revealed by Black Hand before his death also proved this point, so, I suspect that this Paul Wals has already been possessed by an examinee, we will discuss his keyword later.
Today, I have gathered you here mainly for one thing, and that is to conduct a test within the navy, a test about regenerative ability, to find out the examinees hiding in the navy, and then eliminate them. We must ensure the purity of the Royal Navy, starting with the high-ranking navy officers..."
As his voice fell.
Everyone in the conference room suddenly felt a heaviness in their bodies.
Then.
Steel rings popped out from their chairs, restraining everyone in place.
The conference room door opened.
More than ten soldiers armed with rifles rushed into the conference room, standing behind Admiral Mikalo, their rifles aimed at the heads of everyone in the room.
Faced with the astonished crowd, Admiral Mikalo smiled faintly: "Don't worry, I just activated the Gravity Ring, which will make your movements ten times more difficult than usual. This is also a necessary measure, I hope you don't mind. If it's verified that you are not examinees, naturally you will be let go."
Antonio's brow twitched heavily, his hands hidden under the table suddenly clenched together.
Watching the doctor holding a scalpel walking towards the first general, Antonio tried to lift his arm, found it incredibly heavy, then gritted his teeth and made a decision: "Admiral Mikalo, there's no need to check, I am an examinee who has performed body possession, my keyword is 'command'..."
Whoosh!
All the gun barrels were aimed at Antonio.
The other generals turned their heads with difficulty, looking incredulously at Antonio.
"Don't be rash." Antonio's forehead oozed fine beads of sweat, he looked at Admiral Mikalo, squeezing out an ugly smile, "Admiral Mikalo, the existence of examinees is not necessarily a bad thing. After the Trident of the Sea God appears, we will all leave and not cause greater harm to the world. On the contrary, if we make good use of the abilities of examinees, we can easily eradicate the pirates of the entire world. Paul is a very good example..."
He had no other choice.
If his attributes were low, not using the keyword to heal, he might have been able to hide it.
But 'command' fits Antonio's identity too well, he had just commanded a great battle, the impact of which shook the entire world, now ranking third in the Simulation Field, with very high attributes, naturally regenerating faster than others, one test would reveal it all, impossible to hide.
Who knew that this world had something like the Gravity Ring, reducing movement speed by tenfold.
If it weren't for this thing.
He would have already burst forth, taking Admiral Mikalo hostage, seizing power by force.
