Bab 161: 161 King of the North Sea_1

```

The renowned Laurent Swann was beheaded just like that?

Aboard the Avenger, all the crew members were stunned, standing foolishly on the spot, at a loss for what to do.

Climbing nimbly past everyone, Duge reached the mainmast and raised Laurent Swann's head high, "Laurent Swann is dead. From now on, I am the King of the North Sea, those who submit, lower your pirate flags, and I will lead you to conquer the world. Those unwilling to submit may leave now, I declare you are free."

The wind was strong at sea.

Duge's words could not travel far.

But the pirate ships around the Avenger heard it, and they saw it.

A few captains hesitated for a moment, looked at Paul atop the mast, then at the Sea Beast Enke circling the Avenger, and commanded their men to lower the pirate flags.

Then.

They ordered the signalers to pass on Paul's command.

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

No one left.
