Dougal climbed up to the main mast past the crowd and held up Laurent Swann's head high. "Laurent Swann is dead. From now on, I am the King of the North Sea. Those who submit, lower the pirate flag. I will lead you to conquer the world. Those who do not want to submit, you can leave now. I declare you free."

The sea is windy.

Doug's words didn't spread far.

But the pirate ships surrounding the Avenger heard and saw it.

The captains of several ships hesitated for a moment, looked at Paul on the mast, then looked at Enke, the sea monster surrounding the Avenger, and lowered the pirate flag.

Then.

He also ordered the flag signalman to pass on Paul's order.

One pirate ship after another lowered their pirate flags and chose to surrender.

No one left.

He who knows the times is a hero.

On the ocean, no ship could outrun the sea monster Encke.

Even if someone wanted to avenge Laurent Swann, they would not choose to jump out at this time.

…

Doug jumped down from the mast, found the first mate on the Avenger, and asked, "What's your name?"

"Remo Brar," the first mate replied with a silent sigh.

"Are you willing to submit to me?" Doug asked.

"I do." The first mate glanced at Roland Swann's head in Doug's hand, his body standing straight with an extremely determined look.

"Okay, from now on, your name is Remo Bular Tigerfish." Doug looked at him and smiled, "Now, repeat your name."

"Remo Bular Tigerfish." The first mate's eyebrows twitched and he shouted out his new name with a red face.

"Okay." Doug grabbed his hand and raised it high. "From now on, you are the new captain of the Avenger. Give me the order for the fleet of the King of the North Sea to head for Heard Island."

…

An hour later.

Antonio, Mahamadou's general Ed stationed on Heard Island, Laurent Swann's former first mate on the Avenger, and all the leaders who participated in the naval battle met on the Avenger at the invitation of Doug.

The navy and pirate fleets guarded the area and no ship left.

All the ships' guns were pointed at the Avenger. Although they knew that the shells could not hurt Enke, it was better than doing nothing.

On board.

Everyone's mood is complicated.

No one expected that this battle would end in this way, and the final winner turned out to be the leader of a small pirate group.

He is now the new King of the North Sea.

…

"The fish era has arrived. I wonder if you are interested in adding a suffix of sea fish to your name?" Doug looked around at everyone with a smile on his face. "You have also seen that since I changed the name of the pirate group to the Sea Fish Pirates, in just a few days, the number of pirate ships has increased from one to five. Now I am sitting on the throne of the King of the North Sea. Even the sea monster Enke is very close to me.

This can no longer be simply called luck. I even feel like I am sitting in the arms of the goddess of luck, being fed by her mouthful after mouthful. If one day the Scepter of Poseidon jumps into my hands, I won’t be surprised..."

Everyone was silent.

I have to say that Paul’s experience these days is really a miracle and cannot be explained by normal logic at all.

But they were unwilling to believe that the damn fish era, which Paul had been so tirelessly promoting, must be a conspiracy.

"I carry the glory of the Royal Navy and will never change my name." Antonio said with a straight face, "Captain Paul, I have already issued an order before boarding the ship. If anything happens to me, my lieutenant Cecil will issue an order to attack your fleet with all our might. We may not be able to defeat the sea monster Enke, but we are sure we can sink at least half of your ships. A pirate king is nothing without his warships."

"General, if you don't want to change it, then don't be so nervous." Doug looked at Antonio and smiled. "Besides, don't you think your threat is a joke to me? An hour ago, I only had five ships, and one was sunk. Even if you destroy half of Laurent Swann's ships, I can still have at least fifty ships left. But you have lost a naval fleet, and you have also created a powerful enemy like me for the navy. Who do you think is more at a disadvantage?"

"..." Antonio snorted coldly, "In short, there are only navy that died in battle, not navy that surrendered. I'm just telling you, if you force your attack on me, you will get nothing."

He paused, and said, "Captain Paul, I have all the information about you. Before this, you and your Flying Bird did not commit too many evil deeds. On behalf of the Navy, I invite you, as long as you give up your identity as a pirate, lead Laurent Swann's fleet, and join the Royal Navy. I can assure you that you can at least have the same rank as me, that of Lieutenant General."

"Antonio, are you an idiot? Paul is already the King of the North Sea. How can the King of the North Sea be inferior to a Vice Admiral like you?" Ed laughed disdainfully, "Captain Paul, there is no need to negotiate with him. We have the sea monster Enke. The morale of the navy is low now and they dare not attack us at all. At this time, we can completely take down this navy in one go. Defeat Antonio and you will become the true King of the North Sea."

Antonio's expression suddenly changed.

"Ed, are you willing to submit to me?" Doug smiled, looked at Ed and asked.

"I am Mahamadu's general." Ed frowned and said, "If I surrender to you, Mahamadu will fight you to the death. Although there are frictions between the kings of the four seas, there has never been a real war."

"No, it's different now. The moment Laurent Swann appeared on Heard Island, the balance between the four kings of the sea was broken." Doug shook his head and said, "Besides, I will attack Mahamadou next, seize the fate map in his hand, and avenge my good friend Martha the Witch. There can be no peace between us. If you are unwilling to submit to me, then among the three of us, you will be the first to perish."

"If you attack Mahamadou, you will be jointly targeted by Safra and Jon. They can't just watch you swallow up Laurent Swan's territory and then eat Mahamadou." Ed stood up, "Even if you have the sea monster Enke, you can't be enemies with three pirate kings at the same time..."

"That's my problem." Doug smiled and looked at Antonio again. "General, I can let you and your fleet leave, but I need the Royal Navy to help me hold back Safra and Jon Ludi while I attack Mahamadou. Is that okay? I think Admiral Mikaro also wants to see the infighting among the kings of the four seas!"

Antonio was silent for a moment and nodded: "No problem."

Ed's expression suddenly changed: "Paul, if you cooperate with the navy, you will become the enemy of all pirates."

"I don't care. As I said before, five days ago, I only had a pirate ship. I actually have nothing to lose. The worst that can happen is that I can start all over again." Doug shrugged and smiled, "Besides, I firmly believe that the goddess of luck is on my side."

He blinked, "Ed, you really don't plan to join me? After defeating Mahamadou, we will have the power of two seas. With Enke and the help of the navy, it will only take time to wipe out Safra and Jon. By then, I will be the real king of pirates. Under my command, perhaps you will not only be stationed in this poor place of Heard Island. The winner is the king and the loser is the pirate. Don't you want to take a chance?"

"Okay, I'll join." Ed looked at Doug, then at Antonio, and then at the octopus tentacles that were constantly surging around the Avengers. His eyes showed a look of struggle, but in the end, he agreed.

"Smart choice." Doug snapped his fingers and asked with a smile, "So, are you willing to add a suffix of hairtail after your name? Sea fish will really bring me luck..."
