I can only achieve nothing and become the Pirate King.

Chapter 646 The war officially begins! (5k)

After Sager spoke, everyone in the tent smiled.

Jin, who had taken off his helmet, turned his handsome head and looked at Katakuri, who had also lost his scarf, and they both smiled.

Since joining the ranks of Calamity, the two no longer need to disguise themselves. Even if Katakuri reveals that terrifying big mouth, no one will say anything.

As for Jinx, it doesn't matter. One thing that's better about Sage than Big Brother Kaido is that it won't matter even if he reveals his true face.

The World Government offered a reward of 100 million Beli for anyone who could provide information. This money had already been collected and handed over to Jhin. After all, no one would come here even if they knew the information.

Are you kidding? Sager even has Pluto, one of only three ancient weapons in the world, so what is a Lunalia tribe?

He also has agents here, and his intelligence capabilities are definitely the best in O'Hara. If there is any disturbance, Sag doesn't need to know, his men can handle it themselves.

After Jhin received 100 million Beli and learned that the scale of the Scourge Gold Bank was estimated to be trillions, he no longer cared.

There are beings that are more dangerous and rarer than him. He is just a member of the Lunalia clan, so that's all.

But what Sager said now made them a little excited.

After all, there hasn't been anything big for them to do since they joined, and everything is peaceful and stable. Katakuri has really become a little more relaxed than before. He no longer hides in his sister's mirror world and eats donuts while lying down, but eats them openly in the outside world and shares them with his brothers and sisters. They are all happy and there is no oppression from their mother.

Jhin is showing up outside and showing his true face to everyone. No one discriminates against him or cares about his identity anymore. After all, there are all kinds of races here, and what Sarge is doing is earth-shaking.

In order to live the life they want, they need to play their part. They didn't have the chance before, and even though they tried their best to get here last time, it was too late. Now that Sager is saying to launch a war on all fronts, they finally have a chance to use their skills.

"I have to take revenge. I almost died."

Sif, who was covered in bandages, gritted his teeth, "It was like this last time, and it was the last time!"

"..."

Misty, who was also wrapped in bandages, glanced at him without saying anything, but there was anger in her eyes.

After being sucked into the darkness, it was Sever who forced her to break through the darkness. Then Misty took a deep breath and stimulated turbulence, confusing Blackbeard's vision, and then she escaped.

It is of course a good thing to be able to take revenge now.

The rest, such as Parujan Barumiot and other cadres, were also eager to try despite their injuries.

The Oniwabanshu led by Foz F were all excited. The Mink Tribe and the Shark Star who came to attend the meeting also had determined looks and were ready to contribute.

"Captain, if we want to attack Red Hair, do we have to attack Elbaf?"

The tent was large enough to accommodate the New Giant Pirates, and Helding and Statham were also attending the meeting.

"If we want to deal with Elbaf, Captain, can you give my people a chance?" said Helding.

It was more comfortable to stay here than in his hometown, but that was his hometown after all, and they knew the captain's power, so it wouldn't be too difficult to destroy Elbaf.

"I'm not interested in them for now. Just don't provoke me. You can go back and persuade them to surrender later. Hailding, I'll give you this chance. I'm very tolerant of giants."

Elbaf, the strongest country, is an extremely useful source of soldiers, both in terms of its customs and habits as well as its racial talents, so we should strive for it if we can.

If you can't fight for it, then you can't stand in his way for now. Wait until he finishes the fight.

If you insist on being blind, there is nothing we can do.

No matter how big a country is, in Sag's eyes, it is just a country and it is very easy to destroy it.

"In short, this time we're going to start a war on all fronts. We need to mobilize everyone and wipe out all the forces that are a threat to the second half of the New World in one fell swoop!"

Sag's words made the people in the tent ready to make a big move.

But when Moria heard the words "all-out war" again, his face was slightly worried, and Lily sighed, walked to the center, and said to the people inside and outside the tent:
"Let me repeat it again. When we start a war on all fronts, it does not mean that we are the ones who are going to start a war."

She paused and glanced at everyone. Some of the smart ones looked visibly serious.

"A full-scale war is about more than four million people in O'Hara, young and old, male and female, all of them are mobilized to attack the second half of the New World. Everything is for this purpose. This is not a small fight like before, where a few ships lead some people to fight against others. This is a real war!"

Everyone in the tent fell silent.

Misty's expression changed from indifferent to sweating. She had always been indifferent, but at this moment she couldn't help but raise her voice, "Everyone join the war?"

"That's right. Everyone, under our rule, has their own obligations, and when O'Hara makes an overall decision, everyone must respond," said Lily.

More than four million people.
As for the population, these cadres have never had a realistic sense of it. They always talk about so many people. Although there are numbers, not everyone pays attention to them. They just think that O'Hara is prosperous, the royal city is big, and the people live and work in peace and contentment on the main island and the secondary island. It is peaceful and beautiful.

When people suddenly heard this number, their first reaction was to wonder how big it was.
In the Battle of Marineford, the total number of troops on both sides was only 150,000.

Even if the four million were reduced by half, it would still be ten times the size of the War of Marineford. How big would that be?

Is their power so vast?
"Those ordinary people?"

Fuzzy F held a cigarette in his mouth, exhaled smoke, and said, "Governor, is the power of ordinary people too weak?"

"You can't stop one person from shooting you."

Sarge smiled and said, "Whether they are weak or not, not all of them will go to the battlefield and will be equipped with weapons. They can't beat the strong, but everyone is a strong man?"

For example, how many lead bullets and cannonballs can Foz Futa himself withstand?
After using up all your domineering power, won’t you still die in a hail of bullets?
There are only a few people in the sea who have the special physique of being able to possess the domineering Haki and withstand bullets without getting hurt.

Even for giants, lead bullets are like gravel to them, but if the number reaches a certain level, they can still pierce people into a sieve.

If you are hesitant, just open the quantity.

If Red Hair can block it, can all of Red Hair’s men block it?
"But in terms of consumption." Siver hesitated.

If they do this, the damage will be too great. Their original intention of joining SAG was because SAG could allow the people to live a better life and no longer be in chaos, but now it will cost them their lives.

Even if not all of them went to the battlefield, Siver didn't want to see any losses.

They are not dead yet!

"Let me tell you about the specific plan."

Lily said: "First of all, not everyone needs to go on board. We don't have that many ships, and we can't afford so much consumption."

Trying to find ways to increase population every day is not to use them as cannon fodder, and Sag will not allow this.

"First, we need to recruit a large number of soldiers. They are not pirates, but pure soldiers. The support of these people will be provided by our new equipment. Shakya, you can introduce them."

The only person attending the meeting in the tent was Shakya.

He took out a black box from under the table. When he opened the box, he found a pair of ear-band headphones and glasses, a pair of gloves, and a rifle.

"Let me introduce the new Peacemaker function. This adds the Pacifist's automatic scanning, coordinated gloves, and a spear equipped with a laser. With these, you can aim without any obstacles, and a little assistance to increase strength and flexibility, so that the spear can emit lasers."

As he spoke, he took out a square magazine from the box. "This is a replacement energy storage magazine. Each one can fire six rounds. Although its power is inferior to that of the Pacifist, it is definitely enough for ordinary pirates."

With the addition of Vegapunk, it would not be too easy to leak some technology from the Pacifists. These things had already been almost done by Renetia, who had been replicating the weapons, and Vegapunk's arrival directly accelerated the process.

The laser that the Pacifist is equipped with is supported by high precision, so it can be very powerful. Naturally, there is not enough energy storage for it to use in a pure firearm, but the next level is no problem.

Anyway, it is more powerful than lead bullets.

As for energy
It is not the mother fire. This energy storage magazine has added refined petroleum for the first time, but it uses the mother fire technology, which means it burns more fiercely and has greater power.

"There is also a new gun, with the same structure, but more powerful, suitable for use as the ship's main gun."

Shakya said, and then sighed: "I don't agree with the manufacture of weapons. Technology should benefit the world, but I also know that without weapons, there will be no peace. For happiness, labor pains are necessary. If we win, we will gain complete control over the new world, and then we can live in peace."

In Sag's territory, they have also been to other islands except O'Hara. They are definitely not as prosperous as O'Hara, but they are definitely safe and they can definitely have enough food and clothing.

Here, there is no need to worry about not having enough to eat. This place is better than the places controlled by the World Government, and it is not a small place with only a few hundred thousand people. Sage has proved to them that he has the ability to make the world peaceful.

As scientists, they are much more rational, just as Vegapunk does not feel disgusted with the World Government. He has always believed that the establishment of the World Government eight hundred years ago must have been based on some just reasons and was definitely not a conspiracy.

Because conspiracies cannot rule the world.

Likewise, they are well aware that mere dreams cannot make the world a better place.

The fact that Vegapunk was able to create a powerful weapon like the Pacifist through experiments is a signal in itself.

Therefore, they have no psychological burden in making weapons, everything is for peace and prosperity.

"All recruited soldiers are equipped with the Peacemaker series of guns and cannons, and will carry out indiscriminate attacks on all territories where Blackbeard and Redhead have set their flags. Yes, indiscriminate attacks."

Lily waved her hand and asked the head maid B'llana and her servants to bring a whiteboard. They then used the video Den Den Mushi to project a rough map of the division of power in the second half of the New World.

She pointed to the oval circles drawn on both sides and said, "This is a rough sketch of the second half. The left side has a black beard and the right side has red hair."

The dark blue circle on the left representing Blackbeard is larger than the green circle on the right representing Red Hair. This also represents that Blackbeard's power has expanded rapidly in the past two years and is greater than Red Hair's. In the center of Blackbeard's circle, there is also the sign of Honeycomb Island.

"Don't worry about whether these guys have their own reasons and are being coerced, or whether it's some kind of ocean tradition that they planted a flag because they have a good relationship. There's no need to consider these. In addition to achieving the goal of ruling the new world, this operation also serves as a warning to other external forces that anyone who offends us will definitely not have a good ending."

"In this battle, we must demonstrate our collective deterrent power, so that we can do business safely in the future."

All along, it was their Calamity Pirates that were promoting their reputation outside, and although O'Hara was founded by Sarge, the current ocean does not treat them as a whole.

O'Hara is O'Hara, and natural disasters are natural disasters. O'Hara's prosperity is brought about by natural disasters, but without natural disasters, it is nothing.

Even their own people think this way, and it is true, but it must be corrected now.

Sarge knocked on the table and said:

"Conscription and mobilization are to be seen by the world. There are no restrictions on conscription. Except for necessary wartime production operations, all who are willing to come will come! All strategies will not be kept secret. Let the world know how strong O'Hara's mobilization capabilities are!"

These words made everyone feel terrified.

Jhin asked, "Which one should we deal with first?"

"Attack them all, push out the entire battle line!"

Sager grinned and said, "Let everyone come forward!"

"Yes."

Lily rearranged the map on the white cloth to reveal their detailed sphere of influence.

"There are five routes in the first half of the New World and three routes in the second half. They are determined by the magnetic field of the needle. We occupy many strategic positions in the New World."

She looked at the route that separated it from the second half and said, "So it is not suitable for us to start a war here, because there are too many islands to take care of. We must push forward to the three magnetic field routes in the second half and use that as the main battlefield."

"Of course, we also need to be defensive."

She pulled out the sword from her waist along with its scabbard, and pointed at the map above. "Five routes, five magnetic islands. We must control them, and then move forward, occupy the starting points of three routes, and then connect left and right."

"We don't know how many specific islands there are, but the entire horizontal route is centered on the starting point of the three vertical routes. We are responsible for surveillance, defense, and attack. It is best not to allow any enemy to cross this line."

"Of course, we will have heavy troops stationed at the end of the five routes."

The scabbard moved down to the junction of the front and back halves. "These connected points that cross the entire Grand Route are the magnetic field islands where we radiate. The five islands will be filled with our recruited soldiers as a reserve, ready to attack the back half at any time. We must suppress all navigable places!"

The Grand Route is huge, even horizontally, it is huge.

The reason why pirates have not been completely wiped out by the navy is because they are too big. It is not easy for a ship to cross the sea, and it is impossible to surround people.

If it weren't for the Grand Line because of the Red Continent and the Calm Belt, and the treasure of the Final Island, the Four Emperors would not be in the New World but would definitely be in the Four Seas.

The resources there are much greater than just one waterway.

But now, for strategic reasons, we need to draw a line forcibly.

The territory is large and the strategic depth is great, but sometimes it also means that once invaded, the opponent's strategic depth will also be considerable.

The Wano Country and Totland did not have such worries in the past. Blackbeard’s core only has a Beehive Island, and Red Hair simply does not have one, so there is no need to consider these things at all.

Pirates are like this. They are only responsible for robbery and holding banquets, but landlords have to think a lot.

In order to solve the problem once and for all, Sag slowly forced Blackbeard and Red Hair down, then he waved his hand and mobilized everyone!

"The route is open now, so if things don't work out we can go to Alabasta to recruit people! In other words, in the first half, not even a fly can fly into my sphere of influence!"

He glanced at everyone and said to Jin and Katakuri, "You two, each of you will take a route in the second half. Follow my orders and move forward. Is there any problem?"

"I will do it with all my strength!" Jin said in a deep voice.

Katakuri also nodded, his expression firm.

"I'll take care of the rest myself, I don't believe it!"

Sager slammed the table, "Under my general mobilization, there is no war that I cannot start! I will throw the first punch, and if the people behind you want to throw another punch, let's see if we can afford the price!"

"That's right, but we still have to make preliminary preparations. For example, we haven't conquered the end point of the five routes I just pointed out, so in the preliminary preparations, we need to rely on these four million people to open up all the magnetic field islands of the five routes in the first half of the new world." Lily continued.

They nominally ruled the first half of the New World, but the areas they actually controlled were 52 islands in the Ohara Territory, 34 in Totland, and 21 islands left in Wano Country because the main island was transformed into Pluto, in addition to Dressrosa at the front, for a total of 108 islands.

The time is too short and there are not enough people, so this is all we can eat.

After all, if Lily were to divide herself into ten people to manage and develop, it might not be enough. They have always been very short of talents in this area, so Sag has been waiting for his plan to be implemented.

Otherwise, places like the Kingdom of Prodens next to Dressrosa would still be left there untouched.

But now, the time is almost right. He has ruled here for more than two years. The rules are deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. The people he rules also respect him very much. Education is also being implemented in parallel. Children have their own educational methods, and adults have their own educational methods.

Taking these people as a benchmark, there will be absolutely no problem in delegating them to the newly conquered islands!
"Merchants, pirates, civilians, fishmen, giants, villains... everyone, anyone! Will serve my current plan! Four million is enough! Take this opportunity to expand across the board!"

It’s no longer a matter of pirates raiding a lair or triggering a one-man showdown.

It is no longer limited to targeting Red Hair and Black Beard. If he wants to fight, he will fight them all. Anyway, he has reached an agreement with the World Government, which means that the first half of the New World belongs to him. He must start to take it over!

He wants to play a strategic push!
To this end, everyone will serve this purpose!
There are many islands along the Grand Route, and unknown islands without magnetic fields cannot be discovered, but along the magnetic field route, he must now take over those territories.

The time is right to act!
"It's decided! Everyone, this war may be long, we must fight to the death!"

Sager picked up the bottle of wine on the table, poured himself a glass, raised the glass, and faced outside the tent. The sound rang out at the collapsed gate of the palace, so that everyone gathered here could hear it.

"Old rules! Those who have not been completely brought under my rule, no matter who you are! As long as you participate in the war, half of the spoils will be yours! Those who resist, attack, as long as they are enemies, do not hold back! Of course, when you work under me, you must abide by my rules, don’t you understand?"

"Got it! Don't rob the poor!"

"That's right! Don't rob the poor! In addition, the rich, powerful, and famous, as long as they are superior to ordinary people, are within your hunting range! Go! Go and rob the entire New World for me, and let all the land in the New World belong to me! And I will not hesitate to share my wealth and status with you!"

“Fight! Fight until I win completely! Hahahaha, huhahahaha!”

Sarge drank it all in one gulp and laughed out loud.

Inside and outside the tent, everyone stood up, regardless of their size, holding up wine glasses that fit their body sizes and drinking them all in one gulp.

"Then, after midnight, the order will take effect and be announced to the entire territory!"

Sarge opened his hand, and it even made a popping sound when he clenched it, "The war has officially begun!!"
