I can only achieve nothing and become the Pirate King.

Chapter 715: Straw Hat Boy Returns to the East Sea
This industry seems to be able to do it.
Sage thought for a while and looked at Dylan, who was kneeling on the ground with a nervous and eager look on his face.

"Are you interested in working for me?"

Dylan was stunned for a moment, then he prostrated himself on the ground in ecstasy, "I have always had this idea! Governor Sager! I will offer you my utmost loyalty!"

As someone who also worked in the black market, Link was once just an unknown little figure, messing around in the East China Sea. Although he was following Giberson and Umit at the time, those two were too far away for Link back then, and he could not move them without huge benefits.

But it was because of the deal with Sag that he made a big fortune in Carnival City and turned from a small-time black businessman into a rising star in the underground world.

What happened later was even more amazing. In just a few years, he had already become an important figure in the underground world. Even the kings of the underground world who were still alive regarded Link as an equal. Although there were no new kings, Link's weight was extremely heavy in the three industries of lending, transportation, and warehousing.

It was because of his loyalty to Sag that he had this honor.

There are those who look down on him, and of course there are those who admire him. Likewise, there are also those who are jealous of his existence and refuse to admit defeat.

Dylan is the latter. He has struggled for so many years and finally became a "broker" with first-class intelligence. He is well-known in the underground world, but he is still in the stage of accumulating original capital.

After learning about Link's deeds, he developed a strong sense of unwillingness to admit defeat.

Why?
When it comes to investment, he can do it too!

If he had met Sarge earlier, he could definitely play a greater role than Link!
Link just sold a carnival city. If he were there, he could find a market for everything that Sarge robbed in the "Paradise" and sell it at a higher price.

Even if he wants to invest, he can find channels.

By the time Sarge becomes one of the Four Emperors, his achievements might be even greater than Link's!

But this matter did not turn out as Dylan had expected. He did not meet Saga, and when Saga became one of the Four Emperors, he did not think there would be a place for him there.

Even though Link's status continued to rise, he believed that the capacity for the black market was limited, and if he went there at that time, he would not be able to find the position he wanted.

However, as Sag's status became higher and his territory became larger, he also hated his own judgment. Who knew that the Four Emperors would become Pirate Emperors and become the largest pirate force, not only dominating the first half of the New World, but also affecting the second half where pirates gathered, and began to seek development in the waters on both sides.

With such a high status, how could Sager still meet a small broker like him?
There is no chance at all.

However, he was always tormented by his inner reluctance, but he had no choice but to do some small business. Until the news of Sag destroying the island came again, he finally got the chance.

Destroy the island?

What a waste!

There are many people on the sea who want to claim territory but cannot get it and are willing to pay a high price.

This is an opportunity!
If he could reach a cooperation agreement with the Governor of Natural Disaster, that would be the best. If he could take the opportunity to show off his own advantages, he might be appreciated.
Although the process was wrong and Governor Sager was indeed not interested in his proposal, the result was right.

It seems that outside of the original plan, the Pirate Emperor has a strong interest.

"Follow him first, Lily, and then assign him to Link. I have a new plan for him." Sag said.

Lily responded, but Dylan's expression immediately turned from excited to depressed when he heard it.

After all the trouble, Link still couldn't escape.
He wants to surpass Link!

But at this moment, such words cannot be said.

As the black market that is most closely connected with the pirate industry, they know exactly what kind of people pirates are, and they know what kind of personality the Pirate Emperor, the most powerful pirate emperor in history, has.

No one can resist him.

Before joining the Scourge, he could do whatever he wanted.

But after joining the natural disaster, it was too late. Whatever Sarge said was what it was.

The Governor's orders cannot be disobeyed!

"Little ones, keep the excitement going, let's cheer for our new companions!"

Sager raised his glass and laughed.

The people below shouted collectively, and the scene continued to be noisy.

No one cared or paid attention to the change in Dylan's expression. A new member of the black market was just a new companion. There were too many guys like him in the current Scourge Pirates.

As for the cadres, only when they truly see the effect can it enter their field of vision.

After everyone had eaten and drunk their fill, Sager returned to his captain's room. Lily followed closely behind him and asked, "What's the good of that?"

"Sag, is Dylan really useful? Selling islands is a thing."

“It’s very useful.”

Sager sat down in the office and was about to take some wine from the wine cabinet, but just as he stretched out his hand, Lily stepped in front of him, picked up the kettle next to him and poured him a glass of water.

"It's better to drink something hot before going to bed." Lily said.

"Then please give me a glass of milk."

Sager laughed and continued without paying any attention: "A natural source of intelligence will definitely bring a lot of news. As for selling the island, it can't be done in the New World, but it can be done in Paradise and the Four Seas. The people below are now robbing a lot, and those pirates under our command are not as planned as we are."

"Don't they know who the source is? You don't think everything will be fine without evidence, do you?"

Hearing this, Lily shook her head. Of course she was not that naive.

It's not just pirates who don't care about evidence. All organizations in the world don't care about evidence.

Organizations in the black market, organizations of the world government, or organizations of various kingdoms.

As long as I know it's you, that's enough.

What is needed more than evidence is force sufficient to punish.

"Selling weapons is one thing, but it can backfire over time. My goal is to do bigger business, not to make enemies with the whole world. At least, I don't have that plan at the moment."

Sager laughed, "It's all business anyway, what business can't we do? They want the territory, I want the population and resources, it's just the right time to kill two birds with one stone. After I do this, those guys will say good things about me. Why? Because I can bring benefits!"

When you are unable to bring the territory under your control and rule it directly, if you want to do long-term business, you must of course give benefits to those people, otherwise the business will not be able to sustain.

But he didn't want to let Sager transfer benefits to others. But if it was a mutually beneficial approach, it would make sense.

"Let the fur tribe and the fish people pass."

Sager thought for a moment and decided, "One is a warrior race, born to fight, and the other can dive underwater and move back and forth freely. It's just right that when there's nothing going on in the New World, they can be sent to all over the world."

"Of course there will be a reward for clearing the island. Let Link and the newcomer calculate the price. With the money earned, except for the money for the Minks and the Murlocs, use the rest to buy resources. Don't touch the industries of those countries, let them do it themselves, but control the industrial chain to ensure that the resources flow to our side."

"No matter how big the territory is, it's all empty talk if there's no one there. Unfortunately, many people don't realize this. Those guys just want privileges. If we can't deal with them for the time being, let them do it first. They have always done this anyway." Sager's mouth curled up.

Lily didn't say anything, just nodded calmly.

She knew it.

If you want a country to be strong, there must be such a period.

Either they exploit themselves or they exploit the outside world.

But exploitation is exploitation, and oppression is oppression.

Even if Sarge had not personally created the prosperity of O'Hara, and was like an ordinary pirate, his character would never allow others to go hungry and work all their lives without any gain.

But those people will.

The reason why Lily remained silent was because the final result was good.

Facts have proven in the West Sea and the North Sea that as long as the information and channels are opened up, after the oppressed people hear the news about O'Hara, as long as there are corresponding channels, everyone is willing to go to O'Hara to take a look.

This is also a disguised way of absorbing population.

This approach works particularly well in Alabasta. Some of their industries are in Alabasta. As industries they control themselves, the prices they offer are enough to allow the locals in Alabasta to have enough food and savings. Even so, once O'Hara's information spreads, people still flock to it.

If this were replaced by the people who are oppressed by the so-called 'important citizens', it would definitely come faster.

Before they arrived, as an "important labor force" that was very useful to the local nobles, as well as free labor, they used their misery to exchange for extremely cheap resources that could benefit O'Hara and increase O'Hara's prosperity.

And after they arrive, they will be able to enjoy all this prosperity.

These are the costs, costs that have to be acknowledged.

Seeing Lily's uncertain expression, Sager waved his hand and said, "Go get ready. It's getting late."

"clear."

Lily opened her mouth, hesitated and stepped back.

Seeing Lily leave and closing the door of the captain's room, he smiled and said, "Understand it, Lily. One day, you will understand it yourself. Slowly, you will discover the essence of the world. As long as you understand it, your dream will come true. As for whether that world exists, it depends on whether your will to understand it can be passed on."

Let the world stop being exploited
Sager has this idea!

But he can't do it!

He was not a pure businessman who could sell the gallows to his enemies for profit.

He was a landlord and all he wanted to ensure was his absolute rule.

But fortunately, he only took care of himself and did not consider future generations.

There is no country in the world that will last forever. Even if one tries hard to control everything, eliminate all instability, and even prevent the growth of technology, leaving the ocean in a contradiction between the original and the future, such a world government will eventually begin to be unable to bear it and show signs of decline.

Sag has always known that nothing lasts forever, so he always demands something of himself and satisfies his own desires.

In addition to ruling everything, living in luxury and enjoying prosperity, his desires are not limited to these.

It is also his desire to slowly remove the "proletarian" from the identity of "end product" with his own hands.

"Oh World"

Sarge stretched out his hand and looked at it for a while, then turned to the cup of steaming water, picked it up and drank it all, and said with a smile: "Tremble under my rule first, and after I die, you can do whatever you want, I will have fun. If I can give birth to that, it will not be in vain for me to come here."

Whether it can be done or not is a matter for future generations, but Sag doesn't mind creating the conditions for it.

He had always had high expectations for Lily.

Whether it's her strength or her thoughts.

But the prerequisite is that she has to realize it on her own. In that case, when he finishes ruling O'Hara, this place can become the breeding ground for that kind of thing. No matter from which angle you consider it, it can be regarded as liberating the world.

"The false sun god can only laugh."

Sager laughed for a while and said, "The real sun god is the one who created light from darkness and illuminated the whole world. Just let that little devil do whatever he wants. The bigger the noise he makes, the more fun it will be."

The Straw Hat Boy set out from Elbaf, and seems to be heading to the Red Continent again. Although we don't know what he wants to do, the excitement should be quite great.

And the revolutionary army, with his "help", is now launching a very fierce offensive.

Lively world.
This is what Sager expected.

"They'll all be mine!"

Sager tightly grasped the outstretched hand, emitting a distorted and vibrating white light, and grinned: "Everything will eventually be under my control! When my business spreads all over the world, I will have the final say on whether Bailey is waste paper or not. I will also have the final say on whether the World Government can really unite the world, or is it just a small thing located in the Red Earth Continent!"

Sag did not let go of any of the islands that were planned to be destroyed, no matter if they were islands with a good level of technology, islands with excellent military forces, or islands rich in resources, all of them disappeared into the sea under his shock.

The constant news reports also made those member states that were ready to attack the natural disaster stop their activities, especially after it was secretly reported that they could get a blank piece of territory by paying money and transferring resources. Those pirates who were plundering at will because of the instructions of the natural disaster were simply ignored by the member states.

It’s just the loss of some people, which doesn’t matter to them at all. What’s important is to take advantage of the opportunity now to expand the territory.

Anyway, as long as the natural disaster takes action and kills the people, they can get new territory. As for whether the world government will ask about it.
That’s all in the future.

What you eat first is the real thing.

At the same time, a new piece of news spread around the world through newspapers.

The Straw Hat Boy returns to the East China Sea and sets sail again!
