“Very good.” Karami smiled with satisfaction.

That is his ability—not to turn people into machines, but to change their hearts and minds. Although they still have their own thoughts, they are essentially on the same path as him.

Just like the shepherd.

"Now come and pay homage to your king!"

Karami yanked the chains, and half of the hundreds of chains instantly turned into afterimages, fading away from the navy.

But half of the chains had only become more transparent; the chains still existed. There were two chains, barely visible, that connected Cass and Wilbur.

"Oh? Quite a few people with strong wills. I like them very much. The stronger the will, the more resilient you will be once you are tamed. Your strong will will become my help."

Karami pulled on the chains and laughed, "Then, take a good look at the innate ruling mind of the King of Kings, the mind of the naturally noble."

For the Navy that originally belonged to G-3, their mindset changed the instant the chains disappeared.

What's the point of being a miserable marine? Even though the salary is high, it's all about risking your life. What good is that damn justice? A pirate is still a pirate.

In comparison, given the extensive training they undergo, shouldn't they be granted status that ordinary people cannot attain?

"Yes, you will have status. What's the point of working so hard to fight pirates? You won't get anything."

Karami said slowly, “Why not come to my kingdom? I will grant you status. Think about it, the civilians you protect are useless. When pirates come, they will still be afraid and run away. Everything you do is meaningless, and you will even be punished. Why not fight for me? I will not blame you. I will give you land and civilians like sheep to serve you. You will also gain the resources of shepherds and lead my flock.”

yes...

If one could become a nobleman, perhaps one wouldn't have to work so hard. Nobles can also protect commoners, and one wouldn't have to train to the death every day, but in the end, it would still be meaningless and fruitless.

Justice... it seems like it's just so-so.

"Stop joking!!"

Suddenly, a loud shout rang out from the crowd.
