I can only achieve nothing and become the Pirate King.

Chapter 653 We Will Fight Anywhere!

In a ruined town, Hawkins sat on a corpse and responded into the microphone: "Yes, I understand, and I will solve it as soon as possible."

As the Den Den Mushi hung up, Hawkins handed the microphone to his subordinate and looked around.

The town was full of traces of battles and many corpses, including soldiers, armed civilians, and pirates.
The town was not far from the port. From a distance, one could see the beach at the landing point, which was also filled with smoke.

Their pirate ship was sunk.

"The pirates had no ship, so they were just stranded on an island. They were very smart guys."

Hawkins took out the tarot cards, shuffled them, and pulled out a few. After taking a look, he said calmly, "The one called Sivir can mobilize everything on this island to fight against us. Whether it's people or supplies, we can't get them from here."

"If we forcibly plunder civilians, then we will lose our foundation here. She wants to start a full-scale war. But if we continue to supply materials from the base camp, the consumption will be huge, especially in this kind of protracted war. They can mobilize a lot of things. The most difficult thing is the domineering attitude those people suddenly showed."

Hawkins had a thoughtful look in his eyes.

It’s not that the front line is not advancing well, but it is completely impossible to advance. It is impossible to realize the plan of occupying an island and using it as a front line.

It is easy to destroy the Kingdom of Hyrule and it is also easy to kill the king. It stands to reason that the country can be destroyed. After all, according to their reputation, ordinary people are neutral towards them.

But a woman named Shiver stood out on the battlefield. She was obviously a person without bloodline and had no interests in this country, but in the name of defending the country, she forcibly gathered soldiers and some ordinary people together.

If it were just these, they could handle it, because they knew that the Kingdom of Hyrule was stronger than those weak countries, with a standing army of 20,000. This time they dispatched 30,000 troops, led by Moria, and he had the cooperation of two seven-stars, Urouge, and several good players with bounties of over 100 million.

Moria himself is also a strong strategic man. He was unstoppable as soon as he entered the scene. Relying on his strong strength and proper command, he quickly solved the defense here.

Then a group of defeated soldiers from other magnetic field islands and armed civilians who seemed to have awakened something emerged.

The most shocking thing is that each of these guys is so domineering!

There are indeed numerous domineering people in the New World, but it also depends on who they are. The navy pirates who have been fighting on the front line for a long time have their wills tested by the climate, environment and fierce battles, and they are elites themselves.

As a navy officer, he would at least be a petty officer in Paradise. As a pirate, the starting bounty in Paradise would be tens of millions.

It’s just that everyone is in the same industry, and they feel that there are a lot of powerful people and qualified people are as numerous as crucian carp crossing the river.

If we look at the larger number of ordinary people, it is not the same story. Even the soldiers of the kingdom on the island cannot temper their will if they have never sailed on the sea and experienced the risks and beauty of the sea, let alone the civilians.

The governor’s hometown, West Sea O’Hara, is the famous island of scholars. Don’t ordinary people still regard people with special abilities as monsters?
But the problem now is that these people who suddenly appeared, who are more numerous than the Kingdom’s army, are all domineering.

As long as they have domineering power, they are equal to some extent. The rest is nothing more than the size of power. However, when the number of people is large, no matter how small the power is, it is still power, and a sword can kill someone.

So the battle situation suddenly came to a stalemate.

It would be fine if it were like this. Their goal was not to destroy. It would be fine to carry out a decapitation operation to undermine the opponent's ability to resist. However, the opponent's command ability was not low. Not only did they hold back Urouge on the front line, but Moria was also led away to pursue the difficult strong man alone, while Hawkins led the team to continue the pursuit.

Then he was lured into this trap by the other party.

There were many people coming from the other side, including some tough and powerful ones, and each of them was an elite who was fearless of death, as if they were here to die. Although Hawkins and his men had the advantage in the battle, Hawkins felt something was wrong halfway through the fight.

But at that time, I couldn't stop myself even if I wanted to. I couldn't just ignore it when someone hit me.

The battle was won, and the enemy force was completely wiped out, but right after the battle he received news that the ship in the harbor had been destroyed.

It's obviously a trap.

Hawkins kept shuffling and drawing cards, and said, "Let's do some divination. The probability of coincidence is .5%. So it must be planned, just as I thought, to lure out the main force and then attack our ships and supplies."

……

In a military tent, some knights stood upright and looked at a girl holding a flag on the stage with admiration.

"Our plan was successful!"

The girl shouted, "Let's fight like this. It is an indisputable fact that the enemy is stronger than us, but it is also a fact that we are fighting on our own land. We rely on our land to conduct guerrilla warfare and drag the pirates here! They are pirates and don't have that much patience! As long as we make them lose, they will retreat on their own!"

……

"This set of tactics will probably take a long time. Judging from the fact that the enemy is more familiar with this island than we are, we will be harassed a lot. Have people prepared. We need someone to defend at night. Don't slack off, and pay special attention to ordinary people."

Hawkins shuffled the cards again and gave instructions to his men beside him.

Standing next to him was a giant with a rough face and two axes on his back. The blood on his body had not been wiped off yet, and it was obvious that he had just been through a battle.

'Double Axe' Baron, one of the captains of the Scourge Pirates, had a bounty of 190 million. He was originally the chief officer stationed on the island, but because of this conscription, he was selected to join the team to conquer O'Hara.

At the same time, this guy's name is often recorded by Lily. The island where he was stationed almost caused ecological damage, which was done by this guy. He is a typical example of someone who will die if caught and cause chaos if released.

But there is no way, talent is scarce.

Only those who can keep the situation under control are qualified to manage. If you can't even keep the situation under control, then what's the point of managing? If there's an emergency, it's all over, so it must be used.

"Lord Hawkins"

Baron was puzzled and said, "If we pay attention to ordinary people, we can just drive them away. If that doesn't work, we can..."

Before he finished speaking, Hawkins shook his head and said, "If we do this, it's not called ruling, it's called destroying a country. The captain's order to us is to rule. You said that was the last step, but if we really have to do this, I don't want to lose face."

Others might have difficulty in advancing the front line, but they all completed it successfully in the end. He knew that because it was difficult, he also invested nearly half of his troops. These were not conscripts, they were all pirates.

I found it too hard to chew so I gave up and just destroyed it.

That's a shameless person.

"According to the intelligence we have, the population of Hyrule Kingdom is no less than that of Wano Country. A rough estimate is that there are a million people. We couldn't take it down before because we thought that our forces couldn't handle such a large population and most of our energy would be tied up here. That's why we didn't take action. It's different now. We must take them down."

"But it is foreseeable that the enemy intends to delay us until we voluntarily retreat. Especially their commander, whose name is Sivir. He is very smart. He attacks us from the smallest point instead of striving for a final decisive battle. He almost cuts us into pieces and then fights with relatively superior forces. Even if he fails, he can still achieve his strategic goals, such as destroying our supplies."

Hawkins said calmly: "It is indeed a tough nut to crack, but..."

……

"Pirates are all profit-seeking people, and the Scourge has a reputation for this. If it's too bad, they won't do it! As for the people of the kingdom, if the Scourge wants to attack them, it will also increase our strength and give us more manpower! They will trap all the people of Hyrule, and those who are committed to resisting the Scourge, and fight back even more powerfully!!"

The girl shouted, "We are not slaves of pirates, nor are we slaves of the king! We belong to Hyrule, we belong to all Hyrule citizens! What we do is to live in this country with free will, without being controlled by anyone!" "This place originally belonged to us! Our ancestors have lived here for generations, and we don't need outsiders to interfere with what we want to do! Those people are invaders, defeat the invaders and protect our homeland! All Hyrule people, all those whose homes have been invaded, do not be afraid, I will lead you to fight! Fight anywhere!"

"Fight on the beaches! Fight on the plains! Fight in the mountains! Fight in the villages! Fight in the towns! Fight in the palaces! For our homes, for our lands! We will not let anyone set foot in Hyrule!!"

The girl raised the flag and shouted, then clenched her other hand into a fist and slapped her chest hard. The sound of the slap seemed to cause her heart to beat heavily, and like the sound of a drum, it echoed in the military tent and also to the soldiers outside the camp who were still a little tired.

dong dong!

The stirring drumbeats made everyone's heart skip a beat, as if inspiring great courage, causing everyone to stand up and look enthusiastically into the big tent.

"Lady Saint, we will always follow you!!"

I don't know who shouted first, but everyone raised their weapons and cheered loudly, as if an earthquake had occurred here.

In the sky, the eagle man arrived at some point in time. Hearing the roar of the mountains and the sea, he couldn't help but clench the spear in his hand, and a great determination flashed in his eyes.

……

".We are not ordinary pirates."

Hawkins turned over a tarot card and said, "The upright 'Emperor' is not even the 'Chariot' metaphor of overcoming obstacles. The quagmire of the local battlefield cannot affect the overall situation. The other side tries their best, but all they can do is a slow death."

"The emperor represents power, victory, domination, and loneliness. For a village girl to be able to call on so many people and not have enough status but not wanting to rebel, for some people, this is already a crime."

He put away the tarot cards and said to Baron, "Send a call to Moria and Ulki and tell them that I suggest not to attack. In three days, we can create momentum and the other side will fall into civil strife."

"Yes, Lord Hawkins!" Baron nodded heavily and was about to make the contact while holding the Den Den Mushi.

"and many more."

Hawkins thought of something again and called him over. After a moment's hesitation, he said, "Give me the Den Den Mushi. I'll call O'Hara. I can do this, but I'm afraid the captain may not be willing to do it and needs to ask for permission."

"Ah? But you just said it was embarrassing."

Baron didn't quite understand and he wasn't very willing to do it.

He came here to make merit and serve the governor, but he ended up in such a situation and had to ask the governor for instructions.
Baron also has to save face.

"The captain's face is more important than ours."

Hawkins said: "If I lose face, it is fate's choice. If the captain loses face, fate will also be trampled underfoot."

……

"I'm fucking being trampled under the feet of fate, right?"

O'Hara, in a depression on the cliff near the coast, Sage tiptoed into the depression, the fishing line stretched out very long, just staring at the school of fish swimming on the sea, and couldn't help cursing:
"It's been a long time since I last fished! I finally got the urge to go fishing, but you guys are biting! Others' bait is bait, but mine is stinky!"

After destroying Beehive Island, Sarge came back and made the plan go smoothly. As for himself, of course he stayed in O'Hara to rest.

There is no such thing as a big landlord who does everything himself every day. It must be his subordinates who do the work. He recruited so many soldiers this time, which is a good opportunity for his subordinates to gain more experience so that they can stand on their own in the future and rule and make money for him.

The palace has not been repaired yet, mainly because he wants to catch Teach and Red Hair and use their heads as piles to relieve his hatred.

And now, thinking that I haven't cast a rod for a long time, I came here to find a place to have fun.

"Master Sarge, how about I use my powers?"

Perona, who was accompanying me, held an umbrella and floated in the air, looking at the fish below. "If there are any fish jumping out, I will make them depressed and weak, so that they will be easier to catch."

She originally stayed at the castle on the secondary island, but she was bored when Moria went on the expedition, so she simply came to the main castle to play. Now the cadres are all busy and she can't keep up with the others, and she, a freeloader, can't adapt to staying there, so she simply came here to keep Sag company.

"Are you so depressed that you want to sink into the sea? Come on, it's so hard to see the fish school. You can't use your ability as well as I can."

Sarge said, "What's the point of that?"

"But you've been here for two days."

Perona said, "There's no movement at all. Shouldn't I comfort myself by catching a fish?"

"What do you know? Fishing is about cultivating your mind! Is the fish important? What's important is the process!"

Sager exhaled and said in a gentle and persuasive manner, "Standing on the water and waiting for the fish to take the bait is also a very strenuous act. Why is my 'Life Return' so strong? Because my spiritual will has transcended my body, so I have such strength."

Perona nodded thoughtfully, "Then I guess not. I can catch fish, but I can't repair it."

"..."

"If you have nothing to do, go play ghost house and stop being an eyesore!"

Sager glared at her unhappily.

"Pop, pop, pop."

As soon as she finished speaking, the Den Den Mushi in Perona's arms rang. She answered the call and Lily's voice was heard immediately.

"Take in Sarge, there is a new situation in the Kingdom of Hyrule."

Upon hearing this, Perona floated close to Sag and put the microphone in front of Sag's mouth.

"speak."

"It's like this. There's a problem with the Hyrule Kingdom led by Moria. We can't move forward for the time being. We can't achieve our strategic goal. A powerful man appeared over there. He's a good commander and destroyed a lot of our supplies. What Hawkins meant is..."

"wait."

Sarge interrupted Lily, pondered for a while, and then asked: "What is the Kingdom of Hyrule?"

The ocean is so big, how could he remember so much? Lily is in charge of it all.
