I can only achieve nothing and become the Pirate King.

Chapter 645 General Mobilization

The huge black ship crushed the rocks in the coastal defense area. The hard and domineering hull ignored all obstacles and docked on the coast.

"It's destroyed like this."

Sarge stood at the front of the deck, looking at the destruction in the royal city and sighed.

Originally there was a large river here that connected to the palace, which was specifically used for the navigation of the Death Star.

But the constructed river channel is now also buried by a large amount of ruins.

As far as the eye can see, the royal palace located in the north of the royal city has collapsed by more than half, with only the spire with a shaky golden bell hanging on it remaining.

"Master Sarger!"

"Lord Sarge!"

"Governor Sager!"

As the gangway was lowered, Sag walked down to the landing port, and the people in charge of the construction shouted excitedly.

The atmosphere, which was originally a bit lifeless, seemed to become lively after Sager landed.

There was light in people's eyes.

The master has arrived, and the master’s heart is there!

When the adults arrive, the blue sky comes!

Now that the Governor has arrived, order has been restored!

"captain."

Hawkins saw Sager coming and bowed his head slightly, "I'm sorry, we couldn't defend O'Hara."

Sager patted him on the shoulder and said with a smile: "Victory and defeat are common in the ocean. There is no one who is always victorious. There is no need to worry about it."

"But."

"What's the problem? You must have divined at that time. What's your chance of winning?"

"No."

Hawkins slowed down and said, "Infinitely close to 0."

"And then you still got in?"

Sager pointed at the bandages on Hawkins' waist and ribs, "That's enough. I'll take care of the rest."

"Yes."

Hawkins looked at Sager's face, which looked like he was the only one who could do it better than him, and a slight smile rose at the corner of his mouth.

As a captain, you are the most powerful one. You are the first to enjoy the benefits and the first to bear the responsibilities.

Only when subordinates do not feel too much pressure can they fully display their strengths without any hindrance.

Being able to withstand pressure is something that belongs to leaders, of course.

"Where are the others?" Sager looked around and asked.

"Moria is in the palace. Weevil, Sev and Misty are seriously injured and are still recuperating. Especially Sev and Misty. If they hadn't been found in time, they might have died. Urouge went to pray for the dead. Renetia locked herself in the laboratory, as if she was forging new weapons." Hawkins said.

Sarge nodded and turned to Vegapunk, "Things migrated well."

"Sage, can we not use it?"

Vegapunk worriedly said: "The sea level cannot rise any further, or many people will lose their living space."

One more meter up, and the total rise is three meters.
The average person does not grow to more than three meters tall. If they reach this limit, many islands will completely disappear and turn into reefs.

"It's not available for the time being. I don't know what others are like, but I'm a man who keeps his promises. Since the agreement has been signed, I will definitely not fire the first shot!"

Sage paused and said, "Of course, I won't give anyone the chance to fire the first shot. You work hard and come up with a monitoring device. Since the energy source is the mother fire, if you know about it, then make one to measure the mother fire. Once a large amount of energy signals appear, it means someone has fired it. At that time, I must seize the initiative."

"Also, based on Pluto's power, find a way to build a defense facility that at least covers the boundaries of the royal city."

Where there is attack, there must be defense; where there is destructive power, there must be anti-destructive power.

Now that he was backstabbed, only a part of the area was destroyed, and he could still rebuild. If he was bombed, he would have to find a new place to be his base.

He keeps his promises, but he also needs to have the ability to prevent.

"Did you arrange the direction of the artillery in advance?"

Hawkins suggested: "Sag, there is a saying that there are no eternal friends, only eternal interests."

“Outdated thinking!”

Sarge grinned, "Now we can be friends forever, because we need to create common interests! Teach was never my friend, and the sudden attack was unexpected, but it was definitely reasonable. The only ones who can be friends forever are the Dragon Palace Kingdom and that guy Lao Sha."

Their interests remain unchanged.

Dragon Palace City wants to get out, wants to step under the sun, wants to not be discriminated against, and only Sager can give it to you.

Even if the world government is overthrown one day, the only one who can truly look at the fish-man as an equal is still his O'Hara.

Because the fishman plays the greatest role here, and he is the only one in the world who is needed the most.

The Cross Guild cannot be considered as a friend, but Lao Sha is definitely a friend. If his ideal country cannot be completed, he will probably come here. What he has here is equivalent to Lao Sha's ideal, but he is not the dominant one.

But if he really comes, Sag will welcome him very much and give him a chair to sit on.

This is also the reason why Sag could tolerate Lao Sha owing him money.

After such a long time, the only ones who owe him money and are still safe and sound are his friends.

"You continue here, I'm going to the palace."

As Sarge was talking to Hawkins, he suddenly saw Link standing by humbly and said, "I've heard about what happened to the Chamber of Commerce. Let them hold back! No one can act without my order!"

This is a matter of principle.

If we give those businessmen an opening today, they will want to take the dominant position tomorrow.

This has nothing to do with personal courage. This is just people being blinded by interests and being put in a difficult position. By then, Sager will have to purge another batch of people, and it will be a waste of time to train them again. It is better to set the rules from the beginning.

He knows the power of these things better than anyone else.

Even the Five Elders would naturally be ordered by these guys to do things sometimes. This is not something that one or two people can do. It is a large number of people who come together, and because their interests are the same, they do not feel that they are being ordered around, but are doing things spontaneously for their own benefit.

They may not be businessmen, but they definitely represent interests.

For example, the establishment of the navy. Was it originally intended to protect the Celestial Dragons?

No, it is to give an explanation to the member states of the World Government.

And don’t the member states of the World Government do business?
This is a trend to a certain extent, and what Sager needs to do is to suppress this trend that may arise.

There is a mixed crowd over there, and the power is unclear. They say there is a supreme ruler who can easily destroy several countries with a stroke of his pen or a word, but in reality, there are the Celestial Dragons, the allied countries, and then the nobles represented by the allied countries themselves, as well as the interests represented by the nobles.

If you look closely, these are the sources.

Sag didn't want this to happen, so he wouldn't give any sign.

Only when the government is controlled by one person can he, the landlord, always guarantee his absolute rule.

"Lily, you stay and see what needs to be dealt with. Marika, go and bring Letty over."

As he spoke, Sager walked straight towards the palace, and soon arrived at the gate of the royal city.

Moria still had a bandage on his chest, and he was staring blankly at the half-collapsed palace.

"What are you looking at?"

Sarge walked up to him, facing the palace as well, and said with a smile: "Look at the ruins? It looks like a fierce battle when it's like this."

"This is your bedroom and the symbol of O'Hara. If it collapses like this, it will greatly affect your prestige."

Moria glanced at Sager, and said in a sharp voice with a hint of guilt, "My assistance was somewhat unsuccessful."

Allowing Sarge to return on a ship is a problem in itself.

Even the Four Emperors were unable to stop the arrival of Insist Sag. As the 'Vice Emperor', strategist and adviser, he was not at all like a decent person.

"O'Hara is not a spiritual symbol. Don't you remember this place? We conquered it and just kept it because it looked good. Moria, I am the symbol!"

Sager pointed his thumb at himself and grinned, "Don't worry about being destroyed. If it's destroyed, rebuild it. If people die, recruit new people. As long as I'm here, no matter how big the problem is, it's not a problem. Just solve it. After all, apart from problems, there are still people!"

Problems are difficult to solve, but are people also difficult to solve?
"Have a good rest. I will let you get back at your level. It's just a soldier versus a general. That red-haired guy didn't kill you, so I won't kill them either. But I will return this blow!"

It doesn’t matter what Red Hair thinks. Maybe he is just that kind of careless charlatan who believes that killing cannot solve the problem and defeating it is enough.

In this case, Sager will not show that he has no vision. He will retaliate once, but revenge will come at any time!
"I have always believed in you on this point, but will doing this disrupt the plan?" Moria also laughed.

He is not like Hawkins. As a veteran pirate, he knows that victory and defeat are unpredictable, and as long as the will is still there, he will succeed one day.

Sag is not him. The death of his former companions caused him to be devastated, but even if all of Sag's friends died, he still had the ability to start over and take revenge even more fiercely.

However, starting a war like this would disrupt Sage's plan to expand into the paradise.

"It's just a little slower. Right now, everything is in chaos. The movements of the Revolutionary Army have made those guys too busy to take care of themselves. No one will seize the initiative, and no one dares to use my model. They can only watch me, Master Sa, do it."

Sager waved his hand, "We'll have a meeting to work out the specific plan when the time comes."

After he finished speaking, he saw Marika approaching with an angry look on her face and Renidia pouting her lips and grunting her head.

"Sag! I want revenge!"

This was the first thing he said when I saw him.

Renetia waved her hands and shouted angrily, "I will develop a weapon with super destructive power that is no less than Pluto's! I will blow up all the territories of Red Hair and that villain Teach! Grind them to ashes!"

"Okay! I'll assist you then!"

Sarge touched Renidia's little head and said, "But before the war begins, we need to make preparations. Now that the factories are gone, we need to rebuild a few of them so that those who are still living in tents will have something to do."

"Okay, I'll do it right away!" Renetia nodded heavily and trotted away.

Marika watched Renetia run away tenderly and said with a smile, "She is researching weapons in the laboratory. When I came, she was cursing while forging iron with power. I haven't seen Renetia forging iron in person for a long time."

Being able to make a mechanical hammer and a controllable Iron Man in the past, how could Renetia not be good at blacksmithing? It's just that she has always been thinking about building ships. However, with her weapon skills, as long as she has the motivation, she can make any exaggerated weapon given time.

But the power.
Perhaps not as good as Sager's casual attack.

“It’s been too long.”

Sager sighed, "That's the nature of the sea. The former majesty is nothing. There are always some blind people who want to give it a try. Let's give it a try. Marika, from now on, you have to calculate the logistics of the war and do it as if everyone is a soldier. You can ask Lily to cooperate in this regard. Give me a plan before everyone recovers from their injuries."

"Moria, go study the strategy and figure out how to fight. Also, report it to me before your injuries heal. Also, go notify Lily."

He turned to look at the destroyed city. "Let's use this opportunity to stop external trade and build infrastructure first. After O'Hara is done, have Hawkins measure the major points and place defensive turrets for me. Have Vegapunk cooperate and use the Pacifist's technology to automatically identify the enemy."

"The remaining islands have also been converted into war infrastructure, using this thing to temporarily replace trade. Everything else has stopped, including trade with the World Government. Trade with the Revolutionary Army has also been halved. Everything serves the war."

Sager's voice was very light, but to the two of them, it gave them a chill.

As for wars, all major kingdoms have experienced them, but they were just armies fighting each other, and that was already brutal enough.

But Sager's words had a stronger sense of bloodiness, as if they went beyond the scenes they knew.

They don't understand, but they feel that the phrase "everything serves the war" is very scary.

"understand!"

The two of them responded in unison and retreated to leave.

Sager stood alone in front of the collapsed palace, his eyes were bloodshot and his smile became more and more creepy. "Unless all my people are killed, otherwise, once the war starts, it will be the most terrible thing!"

A war between kingdoms?

A conflict between the navy and pirates?

It’s so childish!
Fighting to avoid paying taxes?
Fight to remove the king?
That is not the participation of the entire nation, it is just the expansion of a part of it, and after achieving the desired goal, they immediately scatter like birds and beasts.

The right to rule is not simply to stay in the palace and enjoy life, and own some money and land.

What is an industrial war involving all the people, what is total mobilization!
"Let me teach you well!"

Under the sunlight, Sager's shadow was infinitely stretched and gradually expanded, as if it was about to swallow up the entire O'Hara.
……

Half a month later.

Still in front of the collapsed palace, in the temporary meeting place, a large crowd of people gathered.

The lowest ones are the captains of the Calamity Pirates, including the captains of the island-based troops, the "real fighter" level figures of the Beasts Pirates, and the non-minister family members of the Big Mom Pirates.

Further ahead were the major executives, the Oniwabanshu, the entire Majin clan, and the minister-level members of the Big Mom Pirates.

Inside the large stone residence are members above seven stars. Jinx leads the other disasters and the Flying Six, while Katakuri leads the generals and the ministers in the front.

The first sentence of the Sag at the top is
"War begins on all fronts!!"
