I can only achieve nothing and become the Pirate King.

Chapter 629 The Rising Sea Level Is My Fault
The Death Star, docked at the port, set sail again, and once again, a violent storm blew up in the sea.

In the captain's room, Lily saw the waves outside the window and smiled: "The intensity is much smaller this time, Sager. The sea kings you summoned last time consumed a lot of your bad luck."

"I'm suing you for libel!"

Sarge rolled his eyes. "I was the one who summoned the storm before, and now I summon the sea kings too? So I am also responsible for the rising sea level. Damn it! It really happened!"

He had just been testing the gun.

Sea levels did rise another meter.

“There were losses this time.”

Lily said: "Another one-meter rise will turn some unrecorded small islands into reefs. The nautical charts of those places need to be remarked to avoid navigation problems."

"Although we have a plan and have informed people to evacuate and sort out their property in advance, sea level rise is irreversible and our resource islands have also suffered varying degrees of reduction in area."

Seawater, once it reaches the coast, can turn the surrounding area into a desert beach. People think that a one-meter rise will not have much impact, but that is only for places with large areas. For a normal island, a one-meter rise would be catastrophic.

What's more, the two heights added together are already two meters, which exceeds the height of ordinary people.

Sager himself is only 1.9 meters tall.

“There are pros and cons.”

Sager said, "First of all, I have to admit that I was fanciful in some things. The ancient weapons do have deterrent power, but they are not as powerful as I imagined. I was thinking of bombing through the Red Earth Continent with one shot. Now I think about it, I drank too much."

After that, he lit a cigar and pushed the jeweled wine glass on the table.

Lily sighed, turned around and walked to the wine cabinet, and said, "How about Napa red wine?"

"Why is there still this kind of wine? I remember it was 700,000 Baileys, right? From now on, I won't put any wine in my wine cabinet that is less than a million Baileys."

Sarge waved his hand, "Let B'Elanna clean it out later."

Lily nodded and took out a bottle of red wine: "Musigny red wine from 1510."

Then, without waiting for Sager's reaction, she opened the bottle and poured him a glass.

Sager nodded with satisfaction, took a big sip, and continued:
"As for the benefits, you know it. It forces the World Government to negotiate with me, so that we can complete the plan of opening up the Red Earth Continent and connecting the entire Grand Route."

Lily said thoughtfully: "Pay the necessary price in exchange for the stability that follows. With Pluto's deterrence, they dare not act rashly. In this way, even if the World Government does not cooperate, it will not stop you."

"That's right, Lily."

Sarge laughed and said, "It's a tough job to drill through the Red Earth Continent. It's too big. Even if I act alone, I have to drill through an area as wide as at least two or three Grand Lines. If someone tries to stop me, I won't be able to do it. The only way to succeed is to make those people shut up and pretend not to see."

He took another sip, "As for this negotiation, perhaps we will save a lot of effort."

"Ah, what are you talking about? Let's eat something."

As soon as she finished speaking, Marika came up from the inner stairs carrying a large silver tray, placed the tray on the desk, opened the lid, revealing the dishes inside.

"Freshly made 'Saint-Grace Black Truffle Butter Baked Oysters'."

The shell lies quietly in the black enamel plate, like an ancient gold coin sunk into the deep sea. The shell is painted with a thin layer of gold, not sure if it is honey or edible gold paint, flowing with a dark golden color like lava under the warm light, and the slightly curled edges reveal a few caramel-colored spots.

The snow-white flesh inside the shell stretches out like silk folds, the cross-shaped cuts on the surface ooze out crystal juice, black truffle butter sauce slowly seeps out from the gaps between the cuts, and the thick amber slurry carries with it tiny truffle particles, meandering through the texture of the shellfish meat.

Three slices of fresh black truffle, as thin as paper, hover above the shellfish in a spiral trajectory. The truffle slices with slightly curled edges have also been roasted, giving off a caramelized golden-brown halo. Emerald-colored asparagus tips are dotted around the sides. Each asparagus is like a tourmaline carved from ice and jade, standing straight like a miniature bamboo forest, with a drop of truffle oil condensed on the end that is about to fall.

When you open the lid, steam even comes out, and the aroma of brandy comes out first, mixed with the creamy warmth of fermented butter, like a silent explosion, making people salivate.

The ingredients must be top-notch. After all, they are specially supplied to Saag. Coupled with Marika's cooking skills, any dish you put out would be top-notch cuisine from a top restaurant.

The kind that even money can't buy.

"shellfish?"

Sager picked up the fork decorated with gold and gemstones and picked up a piece of meat. He put it in his mouth for just a moment, and his eyes lit up. "This is great! Why didn't you have it before?"

Lily also picked up the fork and took a piece. After eating it, there was an obvious layer of intoxicated blush on her face.

I feel like my clothes are going to burst
Marika smiled and said, "The last time we encountered a group of sea kings in Egghead, a group died. I thought we shouldn't waste the food, so I asked the fishmen to harvest some. This kind of shellfish was found in the stomach of a giant sea king that was not dead but just fainted. It seems to be symbiotic and difficult to obtain. I will try to cultivate some."

Sager quickly finished half of the food on the plate, licked his lips with satisfaction, and grinned, "Well, Lily, you cooperate with me when the time comes. Find a sea king, stun it, capture it, and see if you can breed it."

"I understand." Lily said, pursed her lips again, and wanted to say something, but looking at Sager's insatiable look, she kept her mouth shut.

Desire is indeed constantly increasing.

From the simple meals at the beginning, to the meals requiring rare ingredients later, to two or three hundred dishes in one meal, and then to five or six hundred dishes, and even starting to become too many to finish, until now, in order to satisfy one's own desires, one has begun to not care about the trouble.

Sea kings are intelligent, unlike sea beasts, and are not so easy to capture. Even if they are captured, their intelligence may not be so easy to succumb, not to mention that you need to enter the stomach of the sea king to extract it.
There is danger in itself.

This bit of danger was not a big deal, but the essence of it made Lily feel more and more that everything she did was right.

Fortunately, Sager was the only one among them.

In other places, nobles like Sager or "Dragon People" are as numerous as stars.

Still have to keep killing.

"Lord Sarge."

Ajin's voice was heard outside the door.

"Come in." Lily turned around and let Ajin come in.

They didn't bring many people with them this time, and the sea level rose another meter, which meant there were more things to deal with. Even Lily needed to use Den Den Mushi to communicate with the officer for orders during the voyage.

Other cadres have even more things to do.

This time, in addition to Marika and Sage, who were the cooks and Lily, they also brought Akin with them to command the crew. After Akin came in, he greeted Lily and Marika, and then said, "Totland called, and Perospero asked if we needed an escort and a banquet?"

"What are you protecting? Is he protecting me or am I protecting him?"

Sager scolded with a smile: "Alright, let him do his job. I don't like sweets. If the job is done well, everything will be fine. If you have the time, you might as well speed up the process. If you don't clean up the sea area around Totland, what's the point of doing this? This is the 'front line'."

"Um"

He thought for a moment and looked at Lily. "Remember this. Call Vegapunk and ask him to send a clone. Based on the thirty-four islands of Totland and their capabilities, build a defense and monitoring mechanism that suits the local characteristics. As the front line, it's best to build it like an iron barrel. At least, when the admiral arrives with his fleet, it can be dragged outside the defense line."

The people in Totland all have the ability to use sweets as ingredients, Cracker's compressed biscuits that are harder than steel, Perospero's molten sugar that can be shaped, and the raw materials contained in the sweets themselves. They don't even need to get resources from other places, they can do it themselves.

If we have some high-tech talent and polish this material well, we can turn Totland into a military front.

Otherwise, as in the past, the admiral could bring the fleet and go straight to Totland, and then no matter how they fought against Sag, they would be at a loss.

"Haven't we already deterred them?"

A Jin wondered, "Why do we need to make such a high-level defense?"

Lily was also puzzled. Logically, Sager would definitely buy this kind of infrastructure work first, because it would boost the economy. But now, they were not going to use the raw materials they produced, but to solve the problem with their ability.

"Deterrence is deterrence. If there is deterrence, there will be no war? In theory there is no war, but in reality there will always be conflicts."

Sarge shook his head and smiled, "Can those old men and kings tolerate what I want to do? There will definitely be pressure, but with Pluto, they won't let anything happen to my Ohara. As for the rest, we will fight as we should. Besides, do you think Akainu will care about this kind of thing? Or will Kizaru be afraid of this thing?"

"I have killed Zefa before. If he had survived and survived until now, he would have been even more extreme. If he knew about the existence of ancient weapons, he would have gone crazy and wanted to stir up trouble. Fortunately, he died early. If he had died early, he would have been a hero."

Three final islands?
It would be more accurate to say that it was information about three ancient weapons, a rumor that came from somewhere unknown.

It's something like the bomb rock. Sarge used to think that the coordination ability was useful, but later when Renetia made better shells, he no longer used that thing.

In terms of power, could it be stronger than ancient weapons and himself?
But he is not the only one who possesses such power.

Eventually it will evolve into war.

"Yes, I'll go down and inform you right away."

"No hurry, you're here just in time, Lily, give him the wine worth less than a million Baileys in the wine cabinet and give it to his men as a reward."

Sag said something and asked Ajin to bring a box over. He filled it with wine and left the captain's room.

But just after he left, the Den Den Mushi on his desk suddenly rang again.

"One or two"

Sager said angrily: "I am the fucking Four Emperors! Not the King of Stopping Trouble! Why do you call me for everything?"

As she spoke, Lily picked up the receiver, and the Den Den Mushi took the shape of a person with a cigar in his mouth, a sinister look in his eyes, and a scar on his nose.

"Ha ha ha ha"

Indistinctly, the Den Den Mushi even simulated a golden hook.

"Lao Sha, what are you doing?" asked Sag.

"Sag, I know your ship is heading in this direction. Did you do what happened to Lulucia and Red Harbor? Thanks to you, Kalai Bali has now shrunk to an island where even his men can't be put down."

Crocodile's voice sounded, and it was accompanied by Mihawk's voice.

"What do you want to do? Natural disasters, the destruction of the world will not do you any good."

"Mad man!" There was also a proud female voice scolding.

"I only let him go once! Once! Do you think I should take all the blame? You are looking for death!"

Sager said angrily, "You better be in trouble, if not I'll make you move now!"

"I know what you're going to do. You're not suitable to take the lead in this kind of thing. How about leaving it to us?"

Crocodile said: "In your opinion, we should be the most advanced. In this case, we can cooperate on this matter."

Sager was stunned. "You have a good brain, huh?"

He pondered for a while and said, "Okay, go prepare for the banquet. I'll go to your place to rest for a day, and we can chat then. Also, let me ask you, do you simply think that I am responsible for the rising sea level, or does the underground world think so?"

Crocodile laughed his signature laugh. "Everyone who received the news thinks so. They don't know how you did it, but it is a fact that you kidnapped Vegapunk."

Sager clicked his tongue, snatched the microphone from Lily's hand, and hung up with a bang.

"You hid behind the scenes, and you hid it well! They got the sweet treat, but I have to take the blame?"

Sager said angrily: "Five Elder Stars? Five Elder Six, right?"

"It's not a bad thing. At least it makes people aware of fear." Lily tried to analyze.

“So there will be war.”

Sarge smiled and said, "I originally wanted to make a backup plan, but now there's no need to make a plan. Totland is the military front. It's certain that we will have a fight the day the route is opened!"

"But there's nothing to be afraid of."

Sager picked up the bottle and poured himself a glass of wine. He drank it in one gulp and licked his lips. "After resting for so long, it's time for a fight. No matter how much you practice, it can't compare to a battle with a strong sense of urgency. Only in this way can you improve your domineering. The robot's domineering color is also a challenge. It must be stronger than the previous one."

He still remembers the Domineering Haki that he had accumulated. It was not difficult to store the Domineering Haki, but the difficulty lay in the quality of the Domineering Haki, which was extremely rare.

Better than red hair.

It’s okay to have a fight, and we can also take this opportunity to settle some old scores.

Right, Sakaski.
