I can only achieve nothing and become the Pirate King.

Chapter 576: Black Ship Founding!
"Execution."

Amid the cheers, Sager made a virtual move with his hand and gave orders.

Bang bang bang!

The members of the Calamity Pirates, who had been prepared, all pulled the triggers and lead bullets were fired, knocking down a group of people first. Then, the sound was heard again and another group of people fell down.

Just like harvesting wheat, people crowded in this open space and fell to the ground in large numbers. The blood instantly dyed the ground red. The entire ground created by Qiangbaru was covered with blood like rivers.

Five thousand people, as a number, does not seem to be a large number.

But what actually appeared before our eyes was a sea of ​​people.

Being shot collectively will also give people a sense of shock.

The three leaders, Orochi, Momonosuke, and Yamato, were tied up with seastone and unable to move. They were knocked down by lead bullets and fell in a pool of blood.

But to the onlookers, there were too many people to be executed, and they were all the same when mixed together. No matter how special they were, they would become mediocre after falling down.

"Execution by cannon!"

After the gunfire was over, Sager gave another order, and the men who had executed first retreated, revealing the men who were pushing the cannons out from the rear.

boom!
The cannons roared, and shells rained down around the people lying in a pool of blood, creating clouds of smoke.

The people who originally had intact bodies were blown apart by the shells, and were either torn into pieces or had their torsos broken. The bodies were mixed together and formed a pile of broken arms and corpses.

There is no other way. Execution must be carried out and the death must be guaranteed.

But in this world where the average health of each person is high, one shot may not kill someone, especially some strong ones.

It’s easy to shoot one person. If one shot doesn’t guarantee death, you can fire a few more shots.

But there are five thousand people mixed together. We can't just shoot them one by one after the battle. It would be too troublesome.

But if we don't do this, with so many people, there is a high chance that some people will slip through the net.

So it is better to shoot them first and then bombard them with cannons.

A cannon is a gun with a larger caliber. It has the same function, except that it has a larger range.

The cannon fired for a long time until all the blood and flesh inside were mixed together and piled up, then it stopped.

Under the thick smoke, ordinary people couldn't see clearly what was going on inside. Sager felt it carefully for a while, looked inside the smoke again, and waved his hand and said, "Qiang Baru."

Qiangbaru, which had merged into the ground, rose up into a huge stone man. The stones he brought with him were like huge waves, rushing towards the square filled with smoke, burying all the corpses and forming a large tombstone.

The person is dead, but he has not disappeared.

Just leave a monument here so that others can see what happened in this country.

It also serves as a warning to those who are still unwilling to give in. Even 5,000 people failed, so if they don't exceed this number, they should not even think about rebelling.

More than this number
This problem does not exist.

"It's done."

Sager stood up and said to the live broadcast of Den Den Mushi: "From now on, you are part of my rule! So, let me announce it first."

He opened his hands and laughed out loud: "Let's have a party here first! Hahahahaha!"

If we win the battle, of course we have to hold a banquet.

This is not just a victory of conquering a country, it is a victory of defeating Kaido and completing his plan.

Such a rare victory requires a banquet to show off the victory!

"Lily, call the others. If we're going to have a big party, let's have a big one. Let's have the subordinates stationed on the various islands send representatives here to celebrate my unification of the first half of the New World. Also call Katakuri and have him send some representatives here as well. The rest of the synchronous banquet, all expenses."

Sager bared his teeth and grinned: "I, Master Sa, will pay for it! Let's have another banquet for the whole territory!"

Lily showed an expression of expectation and said, "I'll arrange it right away."

A banquet is inevitable.

Moreover, Sager drove it with a clear conscience.

At that time, the Jin Bank was bankrupt even though they invited the whole country to a banquet, but Sag didn't care. Now that he has robbed Tezoro and has so much money, he will definitely hold another big banquet.

It is also a disguised way to stimulate consumption.

……

There was nothing good to live in the Flower Capital except the castle tower, but the castle tower had been destroyed. Sag was not satisfied with other places, so after much deliberation, he decided to return to the ship to settle down.

On the way back, Renetia couldn't help but ask, "Sage, why don't you keep the ability user? Some of the fruits are of the mythical beast type. We can take them to Teach."

There are three mythical beasts and some other people with special abilities. If you collect them all and distribute them to your subordinates, you can increase your combat power a lot.

"Why?" Sager sneered, "Lily, what do you think?"

"We are in a dangerous partnership, not a vassal relationship. There are some things that Teach can never do."

Lily replied, "There were already signs of this happening last time with Link."

"Yes."

Sarge said: "Three mythical beasts, no, it should be two. The peach dragon is a replica and also a failure. Although I don't know why it retains the same abilities as Kaido, there must be a problem. Besides, whether it can be extracted is another matter."

The Dark-Dark Fruit extracts the devil residing inside, and extracts the ability and will.

But where do the will and the devil come from when they are man-made?

"The other two are Mythical Beasts. Teach went through so much trouble to hunt down people with special abilities but still couldn't find any good fruits. Last time I asked him to draw a Gold-Gold Fruit, he was already thinking about taking it for granted. If the Gold-Gold Fruit wasn't so weak in terms of combat power, I guarantee he would have turned against me at that time."

"Now, if two mythical beasts are eaten by a qualified person, they will be a huge combat power. Add that guy Kuzan. Will they increase my combat power or help him?"

There were already signs of this happening when Link was trying to become the user of the Gold-Gold Fruit.

Although the Gold-Gold Fruit cannot create gold out of thin air, this fruit did make Tesoro the richest man before Sage became rich.

That fruit represents money.

When Link came back, he described the details. At that time, Shiryu and Bashas had already blatantly said that they would just take away their abilities and turn against Sage.

But in the end, Teach gave the ability to Link.

Although money is important, this fruit also needs people with business talent to use it. Considering its combat power, its combat power is not very strong.

But the mythical beasts are different.

That is a fruit that is more precious than the natural fruit.

Or two! If it was an ordinary superhuman type and animal type, or even some not-so-good natural type, Teach might still help, but two fantasy beast type
When Teach sees Orochi and Yamato, the chances of them backstabbing him on the spot are greater than obediently drawing abilities for him.

"Letty, when you think about things, you have to think comprehensively. That guy is only cooperating with me because we have common interests. He used me to block Red Hair and share the pressure of encroaching on Whitebeard's territory. Similarly, I also used him to block Red Hair and share the turmoil caused in the second half of the New World."

Sager took out a cigar and put it in his mouth. Seeing this, Lily took out a lighter and lit it for him.

"call"

After exhaling the smoke, Sager looked up at the sky and said with a smile: "But in the face of greater interests, this interest can be broken, especially... We are still pirates, traditional pirates."

Sag doesn't even have Teach's traditions, because Sag's main business now is a landlord, while Teach is a pure traditional pirate from beginning to end.

The interests of traditional pirates are greater than the alliance.

His influence is not small either.

"As for why it is dangerous, I could see it before. I don't know if you guys could sense it, but I did."

"Red hair."

Before Sager finished speaking, Lily said, "I thought it was the aftermath of your battle, but I didn't expect it to be true. There is indeed an unusual aura of domineering color."

Sarge chuckled, "Very good, Lily. Yes, that guy did show up. I guess he wants to keep his destined child."

He sensed it before he chased out, but he didn't care much at that time. He would beat one if there were two, or three.

At that time, he was in a state where his Conqueror's Haki was fully activated. It cannot be said to be a Conqueror's Haki resonance, but his sensitivity to Conqueror's Haki was indeed much sharper than in normal states.

But in the end, Red Hair didn't catch up, and Sage wouldn't be idle and look for trouble with him.

There is no benefit at all.

The territory in the first half has been claimed, but it has not been completely digested. After defeating Kaido and Nika, he will fight Red Hair again. He does not have the physical strength yet.

"But when that guy arrived, it meant that Teach wasn't watching, or didn't want to watch. He had his plans, and I had mine. Now, this alliance is already in a fragile state."

How could an ambitious guy not take action while the world is in chaos?

The invasion of Kaido by Sarge wasn't the only issue on the sea. The World Conference also made a lot of decisions.

The abolition of the Seven Warlords of the Sea is itself a chaos.

……

Wano Country fell into a brief tranquility, but it also seemed like a dangerous place that was about to explode. Any spark would cause it to explode.

Because the country was founded.

After the execution of the rebels, just a few days after Sage announced the banquet, a large amount of supplies were transferred to Wano Country.

In addition to going up from the Carp Falls, there is a very deep hidden cave at the back of Wano Country that is hidden by the waterfall. You need to manually control the waterfall from above, enter the cave to reach the end, and then lift the boat up to directly reach the port on the land of Wano Country.

That is the diving port.

This place, of course, is controlled by Sag.

Except for being relatively deserted at the beginning, a large number of ships later appeared in the deep harbor and arrived at the sea surface of Wano Country. Sag did not prohibit the people of Wano Country from moving around, resulting in many people seeing ships that they had never seen in their lives, as well as unseen goods brought down from the ships.

Of course, there is more food.

For this part, Sager will directly distribute it.

First of all, he will make sure people have enough to eat. He can't just draw a pie in the sky and give people food. People are almost starving to death. Sag doesn't even want to rule.

He is a prosperous landlord, not a beggar king in the slums.

Eat well first, and build up your energy and spirit first.

But for the people of Wano, it was like a blessing from heaven. The white-haired man who said in the magical picture that he would feed them actually kept his promise!

The Beasts Pirates that exist here distribute food to every household. Even the samurai masters distribute food and clean water so that they no longer have to suffer from hunger.

After eating and drinking their fill, even the way they looked at the samurai masters became friendlier.

As for the pirates
They don't know what a pirate is, but
Seems like a very kind being!
Is this what you sometimes hear people refer to as the 'founding of a nation'?

That smells so good!
There were even some families that were almost starving to death, who, after successfully receiving food relief, could not help but run to the port to express their gratitude to those ships, especially the huge black ship that was docked. The black ship with the white-haired and kind-hearted master on it was worshipped.

In just a few days, the wind direction began to change. Some geishas even made it into songs and stories, singing them all over the streets and alleys. The song was named.
"The Black Ships Founded a Nation."

In the captain's room, Lily talked about what she had seen and heard in the past few days. She said, "In just a few days, the wind direction began to change. Sure enough, my guess was right."

At this time, Sager was leaning back on the green sand wood throne with one foot on the table. Hearing this, he waved his hand, and Lily took out a bottle of wine and filled his gemstone wine glass.

Sager took a sip and said with a smile, "Guess what?"

"segmentation."

Lily said: "This country is extremely divided. It is governed by nobles and warriors. There are no civilians. Civilians are not even numbers. No one cares about them. The purpose of their survival is to pay taxes, and the tax rate is extremely high."

Sage's taxes are based on per capita income. Each tax bracket has its own tax, as well as taxes on doing business. To be honest, he felt that the business taxes were a bit high at first, but then he saw that everyone around him was grateful, so he just implemented it.

From then on, he understood that the tax rate he set had nothing to do with him, but had something to do with neighboring countries.

When O'Hara was still Gareth, that was a country that even had window taxes and shoe taxes, but no one found it strange. They just thought they deserved it if they couldn't pay the taxes.

But Wano Country.
"Eight officials and two civilians, nine out of ten taxes are collected."

Lily said, "This is the tax rate for farmers and merchants. I have inquired carefully. This tax rate has been the same for many years, not only during the Great Snake period. It has never changed. The Great Snake only caused pollution and seized labor, causing people to go from barely having enough to eat to not having enough to eat."

"With this tax rate, farmers have to pay 80% of what they grow, leaving only 20%. Merchants have to pay 90% of their profits. So the merchants here are basically handicraftsmen. Except for the large merchant groups of samurai and nobles, none of them can be called 'large-scale'."

The real businessmen were the subordinates of the nobles, while the commoner businessmen could only spend half a day tinkering with some handicrafts and selling them to make a living, and their status was similar to that of farmers.

And the split part is also here.

That is, civilians don’t know what pirates are, nor do they know what invasion is.

They only knew that the pirates were coming and they could have food to eat.

The big snake came and they were still starving.

As for what country, what aggression.
That was an idea that belonged to a minority of people, an idea that belonged to the nobility, and even many samurai did not have it.

The samurai simply followed the nobles, rarely had individual consciousness, and had no ruling power, so they were easily divided.

As for the larger number of civilians.
They know nothing.

You can't expect people who can't even get enough food to eat under a harsh government to protect their home. And they don't even have a home, they are just a stinky accessory to paying taxes.

Such a country is so easy to control!
