Achieving Nothing, I Can Only Be the Pirate King-Chapter 576 - 337: Let’s Settle This Once and for All!
Sage doesn’t really care whether the Navy raises the bounty or not, and he hasn’t seen any relevant news in the newspapers, which doesn’t matter either.
Because some things don’t need to be reported to have an impact.
Sage led all the Pirates on an expedition and returned intact, which in itself is enough to shake the surrounding Pirates.
Those Pirates who haven’t joined yet all know who Sage is going to face and are secretly waiting.
If Sage doesn’t come back or fails, they will invade the prosperous O’hara and its affiliated islands for plundering.
But now, only some injuries and losses were sustained, and all the officers have returned.
What does that signify goes without saying.
A Great Pirate, about to become one of the Four Emperors, is about to be born!
Now is the opportunity to join while the Disaster Pirates’ influence isn’t that big; maybe there’s a chance for a significant position!
All those observing Pirates flocked to O’hara and joined under the Disaster Pirates.
Not only were the lost forces replenished, but the numbers increased by two thousand compared to before, reaching a force of ten thousand.
And the expansion of power is continuing.
Besides the newly conquered Scope Island, the other officers started proceeding with the planned conquest of Whitebeard Pirates’ original influence range once they were rested.
This time, there are no worries whatsoever.
Having fought Kaido and Big Mom, these two ’Four Emperors’ won’t go on an expedition again to deal with their Captain.
Now, they just need to keep expanding their power!
In the New World, a semi-elliptical island protected by Whitebeard, where the flag is still up even after his death.
Currently, a Pirate Ship with the Starry Sky Pirate Flag on the canvas, topped with a tongue symbol, docks at the harbor, and the local Pirate Flag has been burned.
Before the flames, a Pirate wearing a captain’s hat kneels on the ground covered in blood, and before him stands a fierce-looking and arrogant person with golden hair and a dangling tongue.
Bellamy.
Bam!
He punches the Pirate’s face hard, embedding deeply, sending the severely injured Pirate flying far away.
The force of the fist completely distorts the Pirate’s face.
"This island is occupied by our Disaster Pirates!" Bellamy raises his bloody fist, delivering a raspy and fierce voice amidst the cheers of other subordinates.
...
In the latter half of the New World.
On the gigantic Moby Dick, Pirates still gathered, each major captain leading their groups.
’Diamond’ Jozu, ’Flower Sword’ Vista, they are all here.
After the top battle, they escaped smoothly, still operating under the Whitebeard Pirates’ name, but...
Everyone occasionally looks at the platform near the aft deck, where a large chair still sits, missing its former owner...
"Alright, I understand..."
Marco, to the side of the chair, sets down the microphone, purses his lips, and says to everyone:
"Volume was defeated by Bellamy of the Disaster Pirates, and another island has fallen."
"I have some new news."
’Flower Sword’ Vista steps forward and says deeply, "Pavlik has been caught by Teach and is dead."
"Also, Zodia was killed by Teach." Jozu says.
They’ve been having a tough time lately.
Besides Teach occupying Hive Island and crazily devouring their territory, that ’Disaster’ seems to have teamed up, also seizing Whitebeard’s territory. 𝕗𝚛𝚎𝚎𝐰𝗲𝗯𝗻𝚘𝚟𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝕞
They didn’t engage in battle, mainly because they couldn’t win...
The Pirates under Whitebeard’s banner retaliated, but just like Bellamy defeating Woret this time, no one was their match.
"At this rate, we’ll just be swallowed up..."
Vista said, "Marco, it’s time for a decisive battle!"
"Yes, it’s time for a decisive battle, Marco, we can’t let Teach and Disaster keep going!" All the other captains shouted.
If this continues, they will only be gradually eroded.
Marco takes a deep breath, "Alright, then let’s battle, we certainly can’t continue like this!"
"Who do we fight first?" Vista asks.
"Tea..."
Marco was about to say Teach, but suddenly fell silent.
Teach seized Dad’s power, and also killed their comrades; it’s logical to fight Teach first.
But now the issue is that Teach seems to have allied with Disaster, otherwise, they wouldn’t attack consecutively like this.
Marco isn’t afraid to fight Teach alone, but can one Pirate group handle two Pirate groups...
"Blublublublu..."
While Marco is pondering, the Radio Snail suddenly rings.
The face morphs into a determined expression with three scars across its left eye as it rings.
Marco pauses, then picks up the receiver...
...
On a certain deserted island.
Atop a mountain surrounded by jungle, as the wind whistles past, it lifts the black cape of the seated figure, as well as his flowing red hair.
At this moment, he has just set down the receiver, gazing out from the mountain peak at the azure sea, a smile slowly creeping up his lips.
"I thought you wouldn’t involve yourself in such matters."
A deep voice emerges from behind him.
Beckman, wearing what seemed like a torn bedsheet as a floral cape, exhales smoke, pinching the cigarette from his lips, stands behind him.
Red Hair, Shanks.
"Ah..."
Shanks replies, "Pirate battles, winning and losing is commonplace, I originally didn’t want to get involved, but..."
He turns his head, smiling, "Two against one is too much, isn’t it?"
...
In the Royal Palace of Storm City, O’hara.
In the dining room, Sage sits at a round table, picks up a piece of meat and swishes it in the giant copper pot in front while saying to Renedia:
"Renedia, when eating this, just rinse it, pair it with a unique dipping sauce, then a cup of wine, it’s very delicious, especially during this season..."
Outside, visible in the courtyard, white snow is falling.
Spring has gone, autumn has passed, winter is here again.
Since Sage returned, he’s stayed for about three months, not really venturing out, leaving the task of expansion to his subordinates.
In total, since arriving in the New World, it’s been almost a year now.
Currently, this island is in the midst of winter.
In winter, swishing hotpot, sipping alcohol, leisurely enjoying the snowy view, certainly has its unique flavor.
"Sage..."
He picks up the perfectly swished meat, dips it in the sauce, just as he’s about to take a bite, a voice sounds from the door.
"Oh, Lily, come sit, join us for a meal." Sage says.
Lily comes over, holding a Radio Snail, places it on the table, hands over the receiver to Sage, "It’s for you."
"Zehahahaha!"
A familiar bold laughter rings from the Radio Snail.
The morphing face turns into a three-part beard with a grinning mouth, revealing a few missing teeth.
"AiBo! Long time no see!"
"We’ve never met before, you know..."
Sage rolls his eyes, "You seem very busy lately, how’s the rallying of power going?"
"Very well indeed! Thanks to you, the pressure on my side has greatly decreased. I heard business is good on your side too, how about taking on some orders from me?" Teach laughs.
"Oh? That’s rare... I thought you only liked to grab things, if you want weapons, send someone over to discuss." Sage says.
"No, this time you need to come personally, let’s have a talk... Sage, don’t forget, our alliance, zehahaha."
"Is that why you’re confirming this? Rest assured, I never go back on what I promised."
"That’s good... Sage, I invite you to completely crush Dad’s Pirates!"
Upon hearing this, Sage hesitated at first, then grinned viciously.
"They finally couldn’t stand it anymore, huh? Running around like rats, not even able to find a base, finally forced them out! Hahaha, hahahaha!"
"Exactly, come on, the opportunity to establish our era has arrived! Zeha, zehahaha, zehahahaha!"
