I can only achieve nothing and become the Pirate King.

Chapter 682 It’s very simple, I will become a god!

The second half of the new world.

A barren island.

The small, terrifying three-masted sailing ship was docked on the island. In a small town on the shore of the island, flames were shooting into the sky. Shadows rose and fell under the flames, like waves, constantly pouring out and spreading in the town, plunging the town into a tide of destruction of red and black.

Inside the town, armed O'Hara soldiers kept coming in and out, and occasionally a few gunshots could be heard amid the crackling sound of flames.

The shadows under the firelight suddenly gathered together in one place, forming the shape of Moria.

He was still holding two single-edged scissors in his hands, which he now put together into one, put behind his waist, and hid inside his loose clothes.

Soon, several soldiers came running from not far away, saluted Moria and said, "Lord Moria, the clearing has been completed."

“Hehehehe, there is indeed no breath.”

Moria laughed strangely and said, "Then we have reached the next place. Let's continue sailing, little ones!"

In the flames, the badly burned Blackbeard flag gradually turned into ashes and was completely destroyed along with the town.

This is a typical small town under the protection of Blackbeard, or in other words, it belongs to Blackbeard's sphere of influence.

The Beehive Island was only that big back then, and not all pirates were qualified to reach Beehive Island and settle down. Many pirates occupied an island and planted their flags, thus bringing it into Blackbeard's sphere of influence.

Not to mention that Beehive Island has been gone for some time, so the pirates have no target to gather and are naturally more scattered.

Like what we are experiencing now, with this island as the center, these pirates began to rob the surrounding areas, gradually developing this place into a pirate town.

It was impossible to make such guys withdraw their flags, which happened to be what Moria wanted.

Just destroy it directly.

Red Hair is dead, the next one is Teach.

They found that the more territory Teach had, the easier it would be to force Teach out.

Watching the soldiers begin to evacuate, Moria took out a larger nautical chart, marked a red dot in an empty area on it, and walked towards the ship.

On the nautical chart, there are red and black dots, densely packed.

These are the islands that Moria encountered during his voyages of conquest. In addition to conquering, they were also responsible for determining how many islands there were in the sea and recording the locations of the islands.

It was a rough sea map. The black dots represented islands they encountered that were irrelevant to their current plan, and the red dots represented islands that had been destroyed.

Most of these red dots are the shelters of the Red Hair Pirates. Now the news has not reached here. No matter what Moria says, they just don’t believe it. They still keep saying that they want to resist and say that Red Hair will definitely avenge them.

For such a stubborn guy, you must strike hard.

Even if Moria wanted to forgive them in his heart, Sager's majesty could not be underestimated.

At this point, the best way to maintain the vast territory is Sag's own prestige.

If you forgive easily, once the word spreads, others will lose their fear. Even if there is only one case, the impact will be very bad.

He himself has experienced this. After his defeat at the hands of Kaido, he was still able to maintain his dignity. However, since the tie with the Straw Hat Boy, he has also felt that kind of vague contempt during that period of time.

Crocodile ran to Impel Down, and when he came out, he was not despised. Instead, because he fought with Akainu for a while during the Battle of Marineford, his reputation inexplicably increased.

He was a bit unlucky at that time and felt that everyone looked down on him. This was one of the reasons why he wanted to join Sage.

Prestige is not easy to maintain, but it can drop very quickly.

The information he obtained included news about the Straw Hats.

That is a typical example of having strength but no prestige. He was actually captured by Helding's subordinate, the navigator Rod, for an absurd reason like collecting action figures.

That's the Straw Hat who was able to fight against Zager who defeated Kaido in Wano Country, and who grew to the point that even Moria felt he couldn't deal with him.

It is precisely because of the lack of prestige that this situation occurs.

Therefore, they must maintain their prestige, even if it means destroying an entire island.

Isn't it the reason why the world government can frighten most people in the world, that it has an indiscriminate demon-killing order that will be launched as soon as the button is pressed?
That is not a problem that can be solved simply by taking refuge. Some navies don't care about that and will even destroy the refugee ships.

Likewise, all those who are still resisting and want to fly the flag of the enemy must be completely wiped out.

Those who were wiped out on the sea would be terrified when they heard the name of Sage, and would retreat when they heard the name of Natural Disaster. He should be more frightening than Whitebeard at his peak. That is enough.

“Still a little short.”

Moriah walked towards the ship docked on the coast, stared at the flying Scourge pirate flag, and murmured, "It's high-end enough, but it's still a little lacking in deterrence. The development has been too fast during this period. It's a good opportunity to take Sager's reputation in the sea to a higher level."

Sag has always encountered strong opponents. Although he has seen these battles in news newspapers, for ordinary people, they are ultimately not real because they are too far away. Instead, it is like listening to a drama, and it only feels lively and powerful.

This is not enough.

As a pirate of the older generation, he knew how Whitebeard reached the peak of his fame and how people kept their distance from the Whitebeard Pirates.

That was achieved purely by killing.

That kind of earth-shaking power destroyed countless forces and islands that were hostile to him. Relying on his terrifying record, he reached the top that no one dared to mess with.

This is what Sager has to do now.

Fighting a powerful enemy is too far away, and killing the king is also far away. Only by letting these ordinary people know that destruction is around them and disasters are always with them can they feel awe from the bottom of their hearts when they hear the name!

…O’Hara Palace.

Lily reported to Sage as usual.

"The battle line is expanding smoothly. We are now dealing with islands that are still flying flags out of luck and stubbornness. However, the resistance we encounter is not strong, and we are breaking through smoothly."

Lily took the information reported recently and tried to be as concise as possible. "So far, we have sailed halfway to the second half of the New World. When we reach the end, the preliminary plan will be completed."

"Every island we encounter is recorded. When we decide to expand again in the future, these islands will be used. The current plan is still the same as what we have formulated, and we are digesting it. As for Blackbeard..."

She put the message away and looked at Sarge, "I still can't find it. It's like it disappeared."

"Oh? Are you planning to make a big bet?"

Sag glanced at the map of the New World's sea area placed in front of him. Lines were drawn on it to show the scope of their current advance. The sphere of influence representing Red Hair had disappeared, and Blackbeard's sphere of influence had become much smaller than before.

"Logically speaking, at this level, he should come to gamble. With the power of the Tremor-Tremor Fruit, if he attacks first, he should be able to cause great damage to O'Hara. If combined with the tsunami caused by the vibration, it can even cause Pluto to fail in that instant."

Sager thought, "Except for the three of you female officers, the rest are all out conquering. The main force is empty, which means I am alone here. Even Yixiao has been sent out to patrol. He knows this information. This is his last chance. When my main force comes back, he will have no chance at all."

"Teach and Kuzan, just two of them are enough. He shouldn't be so lacking in confidence."

Sag leaned back, picked up the wine glass and took a sip, and turned his gaze from the new world area on the sea map to the direction of the red earth continent.

"Garp is missing too, so... is it the World Government?"

"Do you think Teach will cooperate with the World Government?" Lily asked.

"That's how he became a Shichibukai. My influence is growing. Although we have cooperation with the government, everyone is wary of them. If there is a new helper, there is no reason for us not to agree, considering the World Government's nature of letting bygones be bygones if it's useful to them."

Sager sneered, "Perhaps that guy's plan really succeeded. Doesn't he want to establish a pirate kingdom and become the king of pirates all over the world? That would be considered an alternative pirate king. Once successful, there should be many people willing to join this kingdom."

"There has never been a Pirate Kingdom recognized by the World Government. Once those guys with bounties on their backs transfer to the Pirate Kingdom, that is truly legal robbery, and they have everything they need."

In fact, if Sarge wanted to, he could even become a Celestial Dragon, and O'Hara would become an alternative pirate kingdom, which would be equivalent to having an additional layer of legal identity, more powerful than the Seven Warlords of the Sea, and nominally could be declared the king of all pirates.

If Teach wants to do it, it should be the same way.

Not everyone is convinced by Sager.

What more pirates want to see is that Sager dies, and then O'Hara becomes a feast for many pirates to share.

But now that this is obviously impossible, once a pirate kingdom is established, they can still establish a huge force. Those pirates can unscrupulously seize the territories of non-member countries, declare that this is the Pirate Kingdom, and transform themselves into nobles.

But since they are pirates, they can basically rob anything in the whole world.

In the past, the world government would not agree to such a possibility, but it is different now.

Nika has shown up and is making quite a fuss, and is behaving alright in Aighede.

And now that we've arrived in Elbaf, it seems like something strange is going on again.

The Revolutionary Army also caused disputes in various places, and together with the pirates who went out to sea in large numbers because of Vegapunk's remarks, they tied up the attention of the Navy.

In addition, Sag has basically occupied the New World and is sure that no one will compete with him. The New World is equivalent to his back garden. If a guy of the same level surrenders, he might really accept it.

"And Kuzan, he is an admiral after all, and he knows a lot. Garp is still important in the world. No matter how indifferent the World Government is, for the sake of its own ruling foundation, it will not let Garp fall into the hands of pirates in such a humiliating way."

"Or he could assassinate Garp and let him die immediately, but that's probably impossible. Teach even prepared for the destruction of Beehive Island and hid Garp, which means he's keeping a close eye on him. In the end, maybe Teach can really establish a pirate kingdom."

Sarge said, "Become a bridgehead against me, Lily, so that they don't have to force it. Speed ​​up the progress. It probably won't be long before I can see the news that Teach has become king in the newspaper. I don't know if it will be in Paradise or at the forefront of the New World."

If it is at the front, it means that Teach is about to go all in, but if it is in the paradise, it means that he is still lying dormant, waiting for something.

“It’s very likely to happen in the second half.”

Lily followed Sager's thoughts and said, "In this way, he can take the opportunity to get more help from the World Government, and have the opportunity to become stronger. He can also take this opportunity to fight us."

"It's hard to say. I expected him to do so, to save trouble. But this guy knows history, and he knows a lot. He must know something about Nika. After all, he has been a Yonko for so long and occupied Beehive Island. He should have collected a lot of information. It's easy to guess."

Sager's lips curled up, "The fate represented by Nika, if we leave him alone, maybe something interesting will happen."

Fighting against the world government on one's own may seem romantic, but Sarge is not that free.

He's here to do business!
As for the appearance of Nika, Red Hair even gambled his life and still chose to believe it, so it must represent a big secret.

Be it the key to Onepiece, the nemesis of the World Government, or even the Halley Codex of Elbaf, none of those things required Sarger to be present in person. As the heir to the throne, Heldin had already sent the news, along with the video, in order to express his regret and guilt for not being able to participate in this expedition.

Sag had seen the murals, which showed portraits of Nika and a group of strange things, dealing with the giant demon holding the sun in his hand.

Whether it is a prophecy or a reappearance of a scene from thousands of years ago, the situation is already being stirred.

The will and destiny of the devil, as well as the wishes and expectations of mankind, may really make the Straw Hat team do something.

But he knew that the World Government didn't keep as much eyes on him as it did on the Straw Hats.

He and O'Hara could almost destroy half the world if they were to work at full strength, but in this respect, they were no match for Nika.
"I don't know if the master of the Void Throne is a coward or really knows something. Never mind, it won't affect my plan. If the Sun God is really a god in the end, then it's very simple. I can just become a god!"

“After that, I stopped hiding my aura and grabbed Teach and refined him in an instant. In short, as long as I become stronger, I won’t be afraid of those things.”

After Sager made a joke, he laughed again, "He will give me the answer, don't worry. It won't take too long. After all, he is much older than me, hahahahaha!"
