I can only achieve nothing and become the Pirate King.

Chapter 728 The Era is About to Accelerate! (10k) (The End)
"Gum-Gum, Gum-Gum, White Star Gun!!"

Just then, Luffy leaped into the air, delivering a powerful hook punch with lightning speed. "What are you babbling about! Let's fight! White-haired man!!"

The punch was incredibly fast; it reached Sagu's side almost as soon as Luffy finished speaking.

A fierce and swift punch, effective even when dealing with Im, can cause the enemy's form to change in accordance with the sun god, and can leave a deep dent, unleashing tremendous power.

Sager didn't even look at it; he simply extended his finger and flicked it lightly in the direction the fist was coming from.

"It's best to listen to what others have to say, Nika."

Bang!
The shockwave rippled out from between Sager's fingers and the incoming fist, forcefully deflecting the powerful yet cunning and unpredictable Fist of Freedom.

"It doesn't matter what you're called, as long as it represents you."

Sagu looked at Luffy's obviously stunned expression and laughed, "Isn't it strange? Your power, which allows you to attack at will, was easily deflected by me."

He took two steps forward. “I am the demon of domination, and naturally, I have achieved the most perfect domination with the power I wield. Just as you can infect others with so-called ‘hope’.”

"My foundation and my strongest martial arts skills are enough to achieve dominance. No other martial arts are useful to me, because I will rule them all."

He stood before the steps formed by the ruins, looking down at the Straw Hat Pirates, and said in a deep voice:

"To be honest, I admire the first person to become a demon, because perhaps even their will was assimilated."

He raised two fingers, pointing to the sea below the abyss, the Grand Line, "seemingly free, but in reality a spiral of fate."

He then pointed to the straw hat, saying, "It's hope, but also a curse."

Then he opened his arms as if to encompass the entire Mary Geoise, “a false supreme, a rotten foundation.”

He then pointed to the straw hat, saying, "The will of D, a song of destiny, but also a shackle."

"What are you talking about!" Straw Hat exclaimed.

Sager's lips curled into a smile, his deep voice clear yet eerie, echoing through the ruins: "'Grand Line,' 'Nika,' 'God Valley,' 'Mary Geoise,' 'Nika,' 'Will of D,' 'Ancient Weapon,' 'Im,' 'One Piece,' 'Ancient Weapon,' 'Nika,' 'The Void Throne.' That's all."

With an outstretched hand, it suddenly shot upwards, turning the gloomy sky into a spiral, and the smile into a wanton and ferocious grin.

"The times are about to accelerate! LordLand!!!"

hum! !

The powerful Conqueror's Haki transformed into a lightning-fast black pressure, and in the instant it descended, it made it difficult to breathe and slowed down one's movements.

On the steps, all that could be seen was broken stone, and everyone felt a gust of wind blowing, whipping up their clothes and white hair.

boom!
Immediately afterwards, a muffled thud resounded in their ears.

Everyone instinctively turned around, their eyes widening in disbelief.

Sag appeared to their side and behind, extending one hand in a claw shape, instantly turning a burly figure into dust.

Faintly, they could still see the cloak reduced to fragments, and a piece of flesh that had just vanished from their sight, still bearing the sun symbol.
"Jinpei!!" Everyone's eyes widened in shock.

"Oh, is the first one Doraemon? I didn't really care about the target, I just shot at it randomly."

Sager smiled slightly, extended his index finger, and then tilted his elbow, sending out a ray of light that pierced Franky's chest, instantly turning him into dust and quickly dissipating.

"That's the second one."

"Frankie! You bastard!!"

Sanji then realized what was happening, and his eyes and eyebrows burned with fire, as if his anger had materialized. As he rushed forward, his feet were stained pink.

"You are the only one who cannot be forgiven!"

In his Nika form, his legs also rubberized and extended rapidly. Pink and white flames intertwined, forming a circular array as they expanded and contracted at high speed, unleashing a high-speed kick.

Its trajectory resembles tableware flying around.

"Demon Wind Kick - Nika Banquet Table Spinning Kick!!"

"When it comes to kicking, there's only one pair. You're an android, not a mutant. You can't conjure up a second pair."

Sager glanced at him, then casually reached out and, with a quick movement, grabbed Sanji as if he had been caught, slamming him to the ground.

The high-speed, dazzling kick stopped, and Sagu grabbed one of Sanji's ankles, grinning maliciously at him: "Free will and all that, I can't control. But physical martial arts are useless against me."

With a twist of his hand gripping Sanji's ankle, a black and red Haki spiral extended, like a winch, rapidly twisting from Sanji's ankle all the way to his head, turning everything into dust.

"Sanji!!!"

"Instead of shouting here, you should think about how to dodge my next attack. I promise that anyone who dodges my attack, except for the Straw Hat himself, will be granted the right to live in the new era."

Sager clenched his fist, and black and red lightning coiled around his five fingers.

"By the way, my power isn't so easy to block. It combines the 'instant death' of my Hokuto Shinken, Haki, and the tremors of the Tremor-Tremor Fruit. If you get hit or grazed, you'll be turned to dust."

"Oh oh oh oh!!"

He had barely finished speaking when a violent roar, accompanied by a massive shadow, enveloped Sager.

Unable to bear the grief and rage, Chopper transformed into a giant monster. However, in Nika form, this form seemed full of elasticity, with the antlers on his head spiraling out like springs as he roared to the sky.

"It's pathetic that this so-called hope has left you in this state, unable to do anything but laugh."

Seeing the anger in Chopper's eyes and the smile on his face that resembled Nika's, Sager shook his head and said, "He's certainly full of the spirit of Ah Q."

"Sun Corner Strike - Banquet Headbutt!"

The enormous body moved down rapidly, and the massive Chopper lowered its head to strike.

"Chopper!"

Seemingly understanding the meaning behind Sagu's words, Luffy suppressed his immense grief, leaped high above Chopper, and swung his fists rapidly, leaving afterimages.

"Rubber Rubber - Liberated Nika Fist!"

Nami also pointed the Clima-Tact at Sagar, from which Zeus, the thundercloud, emerged. It seemed to have become rubbery, extending and rotating like a trampoline, enveloping the three squares within it.

"Nika Weather - Joyful Thundercloud Bouncy Ring!"

Numerous lightning balls burst forth from the extended thunderclouds, colliding and bouncing off each other like bumper cars, seemingly converging towards Sager in a chaotic manner.

Usopp angrily pulled out his slingshot, and with the laughter brought by Nika's transformation, the seed launched by the slingshot also burst into a big smiley face in the air, forming a barrage of bullets as it fell, each one randomly transforming into a firebird, a poison flower, a flashbang, or a shuriken.

"Eighty Million Liars!!"

"Hmm, not bad, you're starting to coordinate. No one can do anything to me in terms of martial arts. Except for you, Nika, since you're very 'free,' and the others are using ranged attacks."

Sager didn't move within the circle, but simply stretched out his arms. In an instant, his arms disappeared as fast as a flash, and a shockwave appeared in the air, easily knocking Straw Hat's fists away.

Sager completely ignored the stray lightning balls that collided with him, simply looking up at Usopp's rapidly descending attack and approvingly remarking:
"Straw Hat in favorable winds, Zoro in unfavorable winds, and Usopp in dire situations. I must say, when it comes to causing trouble, I'd call you the strongest. The only thing I need to work on is this move."

Boom!

As soon as he finished speaking, a massive bolt of lightning descended from the gloomy, spiraling sky, covering the area within the thunderclouds and wiping out Usopp's chaotic attacks.

"be cheated!"

At that moment, Nami excitedly spoke up. The elastic lightning balls seemed to come alive, jumping up one by one as they collided with each other. As the lightning swept away Usopp's attack, the lightning balls jumped into the air above Sagar, catching the falling lightning.

They're gambling.

They knew that Luffy had become a demon, and they also knew what kind of power he had acquired.

Just as Sagu said, Luffy is the devil who has mastered 'hope', and his manifestation is the sun god.

Based on their own experiences and observations along the way, Luffy inherited the desires of all those who yearned for freedom on the seas since the First World, which is why he successfully became a demon.

Their approach is different from Sag's.

But one thing is certain: the power one possessed before demonization will become even more formidable after demonization.

This was already evident when dealing with Im.

They couldn't possibly be unaware of Sagu; they had even hosted a banquet together before, and Robin, their older sister, was also there. After retracing their journey along the Grand Line, they realized that Sagu was someone they absolutely had to deal with.

To obtain One Piece, one must first overcome Sagu's hurdle.

They planned to sneak over, just like Roger had done, but they were also prepared for a direct confrontation.

They didn't think much of it at first, since Luffy had become a demon and no matter how strong Sagu was, he couldn't possibly be Luffy's match. It was only because Robin said they had to be careful that they made some contingency plans.

I didn't expect it to actually be used.

Since it is possible to solidify all the power before demonization and even add several more levels, they have also prepared a lot of Homies-formed moves such as Sag's storms and flames.

In the past, Sager's favorite thing was lightning falling from the sky, and the Lightning Ball move he developed was prepared for this move.

Other elements couldn't do anything to the elastic lightning ball, which could absorb even more lightning. In fact, Usopp was forced to do so in order to force Sagu to take action.

Although there is still an element of gambling, as long as you win the bet, that's all that matters!
Sager controls lightning, he doesn't become lightning. Even a lightning ball filled with lightning power can't escape taking a hit!
"Let's go!" Usopp shouted.

"Ouch!!"

Chopper, who wasn't struck by lightning, then used his horn to push it away.

"Hip Hop - Soul Vibration!!"

Brooke took the opportunity to play the violin, and the notes materialized into white skull sound waves with smiling faces as the strings were pulled, all flying towards Sager.

Robin sighed, crossed his arms, and more rubbery, ever-changing arms sprouted from the ground, which he then used to slap wildly.

"Sorry, but our partners are more important! Sag, from the very beginning, our path was set! Rubber Thousand Hands - Joyful Slap!"

He has lost his two companions and has to make a choice!
As Sager said at the beginning, bloodline is just bloodline; the choice of will is the most important!
just
If Sagu really loses, she will beg Luffy to spare Sagu's life, as a way of repaying what happened in Alabasta and for the sake of their blood ties!

"One round after another, oh, there's a backup plan."

Sager glanced around, his gaze settling on Zoro, who had been holding back his attacks. He chuckled, "So you're prepared to risk your life for me if anything goes wrong? That death-defying aura you exude is a bit too overpowering."

"What a pity. Didn't I just mention that there's also the Tremor-Tremor Fruit?"

Sager clenched his fist and simply swung it lightly, as if casually knocking on a door in the air.

"Black cavity".

hum! ! !
The vibration emanated from Sager's fist, bringing with it a constantly trembling darkness, as if night had suddenly fallen, enveloping everything around it.

Chopper, Raiden, and even the arm notes were all swallowed up by the darkness, forming a spreading black curtain.

Zoro's eyes widened, and he could no longer hold back. With his three swords charged at the peak of his power, he unleashed them, forming three heads and six arms as he charged. The nine swords in total split into afterimages, and laughter reverberated as he swung them. The sound waves were as sharp as blades, cutting through the air and penetrating into the darkness.

"Nika Nine-Sword Style: Demonic Rampage - Asura's Feast!"

Cut it open!

It can definitely be cut open!
With this attack, we can definitely inflict a serious injury on that guy, and then Luffy won't have to struggle so much against Sagu.

In his Nika-transformed state, his strike could pierce through reality!
Even a small opening in that form can reveal the 'truth' within.

Roronoa Zoro, if he wants to become the Pirate King's partner, how can he not have this much ability!
"amazing!"

Just as the afterimage of the knife disappeared into the darkness, a voice of praise rang out from within.

Immediately afterwards, he felt his wrists being firmly held in place, followed by an extreme tremor and destruction. With a crisp clang, the black curtain dissipated, and Zoro's hands vanished, leaving only two swords lying on the ground.

The knife he was biting was being held by two fingers, its blade gripped tightly.

Sager appeared before him and exclaimed in admiration, "The Blade of Desperation, indeed remarkable. You seem to have rediscovered your true self now? Hmm, that makes you qualified to fight Lily. However, this matter cannot be fulfilled, as it does not align with my decision."

If he weren't so incredibly strong, and if he had actually used that kind of area-of-effect attack, and then taken that blow, he probably would have been shattered.

This is a sword technique specifically designed to counter demonization.

But compared to his 'black cavity' and this physical body, it's still not enough.

"Nami, Usopp, Chopper."

Zoro looked around blankly. Apart from Robin, who had collapsed and was unconscious, there was no one left after the darkness dissipated.

"Is this the cruelty of pirates?" He smiled smugly, showing no anger at the moment, but rather a lot of nonchalance.

Once you're at sea, your life and death are no longer your own.

"That's right, there's no such thing as a peaceful and happy pirate game like playing house in the world. People always die."

Sager nodded and said, "I've lost too many of my men along the way."

The core member isn't dead, but the premise of that is that someone has to step in to save him.

Besides the fact that the officers are strong enough to protect themselves, there are also more subordinates who are willing to charge forward, and in battle, people always die.

The Straw Hat crew is just having too much luck.

If things go smoothly for a while, you'll suffer a huge loss later on. If you encounter your own weakness, you'll be doomed.

Of course, if someone is strong enough to unify all their abilities, and their 'black cavity' is not only a shockwave but also overflowing with domineering power, and even contains the 'instant death' effect of the Hokuto Shinken, then it naturally doesn't matter.

No matter how strong your bloodline is, it can't beat someone who's cheating.

"It's a pity. Well, after I destroy this place, I will leave a small island called 'Island of the End of the Era'. I will leave you a monument there. Go in peace."

The fingers gripping the knife rose and then fell, with a light flick, and a domineering aura slithered across the blade like a snake, enveloping Zoro and annihilating him in an instant.

"You're the only one left."

At that moment, Luffy's fist was deflected, and he barely managed to regain his footing. He was so exhausted from being in mid-air that he collapsed to the ground, staring blankly at the area around Sagu.

partner
All gone.

"You don't seem to be able to laugh anymore."

Seeing that the straw hat had completely lost its smile, Sag couldn't help but laugh and said, "The power of hope, but if even the demon itself has no hope, what power does it have? It's like being able to dominate no longer being able to dominate, and being able to rule no longer being able to rule. Demons may be powerful, but without this part, they can easily be brought back to their original form."

"That's the downside of collaborative teams; if someone is missing, it can easily dampen morale."

Sag spread his hands. "Now, do you still have the strength to oppose me?"

Luffy lowered his head and remained silent for a long while, turning grayish-white, but soon, that grayish-white color rekindled.

"Hope is not that simple!"

He grinned, revealing his teeth, and said, "I want to throw a grand banquet where everyone can smile and sit together as equals! For this dream, I... I will become the Pirate King!"

Sager scoffed: "The idea is good, but no matter how productive it is, it's impossible to do. Now and in the future, the world needs leaders; a mob can't get anything done."

"Everyone has their own ideas. Who should obey whom? As long as there is obedience, there will be rule. A wise and capable king is much better than a bunch of noisy rabble. This way, at least some rats in the gutter can be prevented from seizing power. Power is something that will inevitably exist. If you don't seize it, someone else will."

"Give it to me, it's better than giving it to the mice."

His figure gradually rose, and at that moment, as if by prior arrangement, Lily and the others had Bruno open the spatial portal and all of them went inside.

Kizaru sensed something, transformed into a yellow light, and disappeared.

Apart from that Den Den Mushi, there was no one else here except him and his straw hat.

After Sag ascended to a high altitude, he simply watched the straw hat quietly, giving it time to let the burning white flame grow stronger and stronger.

Meanwhile, beneath the Red Line, a new portal appeared at the Gate of Justice that had been breached, where a ship was already waiting to meet them. Once Lily and the others emerged, the ship turned and left.

"You can start broadcasting the live Den Den Mushi here."

Lily picked up the Den Den Mushi that her subordinate had brought her and gave the order.

Sagu came here not just to declare war on the Straw Hat Pirates and the Revolutionary Army, who represent the Southeast Sea.

This battle, besides demonstrating his dominance to the world, was not enough in terms of sheer power; simply eliminating the Straw Hat Pirates and the Revolutionary Army leader was not enough.

To rule the world, one must unify the four seas, and of course, there must be no divisions. The most important thing in this war is to destroy the Red Earth.

Instead of using ancient weapons to bombard, we must use pure force to achieve something that has never been done before, so that the whole world will lose the courage to resist.

Then it will take much less effort to regain control.

The destruction of the Red Earth should be seen by the whole world.

After confirming the retreat, Sager received a signal from the Den Den Mushi in his arms. After taking it, he casually tossed it aside and sighed, "What a pity."

"The Red Line is a very unique place. It has stood for so many years and formed the Grand Line, an even more unique location. Once the Red Line is gone, the Calm Belt will naturally lose its living space, and those unique climates will be greatly weakened. The ocean will at most become a somewhat dangerous ocean in the future."

Luffy seemed to have fully recovered. He took a deep breath and clenched his fist. "Once I defeat you and become the Pirate King, this barrier should disappear!"

"Hmph, at this point, still dreaming big. But that's part of the charm, isn't it? But there are many things you can't bring." Sager chuckled, then said no more. His expression turned solemn, and he clasped his hands together, black light beginning to burst forth from them.

For those who persist, no amount of words can be as effective as force.

Once it's killed, the problem is naturally solved.

If he's invincible, why would he still debate with others? What's the point of being invincible?
From the day he ascended to become a demon god, this world will only operate according to his will!

"I will defeat you! For my comrades! For all the people of the sea!"

His arms swelled, his chest and abdomen bulged, and as Luffy leaped into the air, his arms transformed into white flames, emitting an extremely dazzling light.

"Liberation salute!"

A fist, glowing white like the sun, rose straight up.

"The Banquet Gun!!!"

A pair of fists, as if joined together, became a white meteor shooting straight into the sky, heading towards the darkness above and the demon god beneath that darkness, bursting forth with black light.

The live Den Den Mushi broadcasting from the Red Line hasn't disappeared; it's still playing. To the world, there are now two perspectives: one from within the ruins of Mary Geoise, and the other from overseas, simply broadcasting from the Red Line.

But whether near or far, everyone could see the white meteor streaking into the darkness. People from the two seas of the southeast all looked up in awe, their eyes filled with admiration, expectation, and complex emotions.

Rushing into the darkness is not wrong, but the goal you're aiming for is not quite right.

If it were about dealing with the Celestial Dragons, they would only offer silent blessings, because everyone knows that the Celestial Dragons are evil, and everyone finds the evil deeds they have committed despicable.

Even if the Revolutionary Army's advance was too hasty, and they still needed to continuously supply resources to many places, and couldn't worry about the pirates running rampant, as long as they won, it might be a good thing.

Everything is a painful process.

But now they're fighting that Scourge, Sargeras.

They watched the live stream. If they could win, that would be fine, but they were clearly no match for the opponent. Even if they forced it, they might not win.

Most importantly, they felt that Sag's rule was not bad.

The people of the Northwest Seas are indeed living quite well. No pirates dare to plunder them, they get paid for their work, and food is not expensive. Some people are actually just thinking about when Sagar will come and rule them.

Now Sagu has arrived, but he has been stopped by the Straw Hat crew.

It's quite complicated.

On one hand, they hoped the Straw Hats would win, but on the other hand, they felt that it didn't matter whether the Straw Hats won or not, and that it would be better to let natural disasters rule, so that they could get out of their suffering more quickly.

Hope, at this point, was no longer pure.

Unlike Sager's dominance, no one watching the live stream in the Northwest Sea wanted Sager to lose.

The local people only know that Sager gave them a good life, but in return, they have a bunch of clueless revolutionaries and a group of straw hats who only know how to cause trouble. Can those guys control them?
Is this ocean even something they have the right to covet?
As for the kings who still existed, they dared not rebel.

They knew the Revolutionary Army's reputation. If they obtained this sea, they might indeed establish a world government that would give them some freedom, but it was more likely that the government would overthrow them at any time. No one dared to gamble on that.

As for natural disasters, he is so powerful that no one has the will to resist, and they also feel pretty good about the current model.

Even kings are driven by money.

Moreover, natural disasters did not take back their power; they still rule, at least ostensibly.

That's how kings on the high seas are; they rarely see commoners. Their so-called rule is merely ruling over nobles, who in turn rule over lesser nobles, and only the lesser nobles directly interact with the commoners.

The problem now is that the king doesn't see anything wrong with it and can still rule over people, but the most basic level has long been controlled by Sag.

Because of the local resources they controlled, they had direct access to the minor nobles, who had long been loyal to them. From the lowest to the highest levels, they gradually stripped the king of his power.

But as long as things continue like this, those kings and their descendants will remain kings forever, and no one will cause trouble.

As for those clever ones who knew about this, they could only endure it out of respect for Sagu's authority. Although they hoped the Straw Hat crew would win, their numbers were far from enough compared to the vast expanse of the two seas.

"Let me tell you, hope, too, can be ruled!"

Just before the white meteor arrived, he thrust his clasped hands forward with a sudden movement.

"Great red!!!"

The black light burst forth completely, like a pitch-black maw, swallowing the small meteor whole, and then hurtling straight toward the Red Earth Continent.

On that day, the earth shook violently, and the red earth continent, which many people believed should have existed, had always existed, and seemed to never disappear, was destroyed.
A huge crater was blasted out of Mary Geoise, a gaping hole that covered the entire Grand Line.

Although not all of them, the opening that created it allowed the climate that formed the Grand Line to begin leaking out to all corners of the seas, and the doldrums around that area began to slowly dissipate.

The only remaining foundation of the Red Earth continent formed a large island in the central sea area. Because of this, the place where the four seas meet became another prosperous commercial island.

Even though it's all made of stone, with a strong commercial foundation, it still managed to produce a large number of buildings and commercial activities.

On the edge of this red earth island, there is a large courtyard. A black-haired woman wearing glasses is holding a book. After flipping through it for a while, she turns to look at the tombstones in the courtyard, her eyes filled with complex emotions.

……

Years later, at the Ohara Palace.

"The Red Line has been collapsing all along. Vegapunk predicts that the entire Red Line will disintegrate in about a hundred years. At the same time, because the land area will fill the 'cavities' in the sea, the seawater will sink, which will probably make the submerged places appear one by one."

A mature blonde with long, wavy hair reported to a white-haired man: "In fact, there are already signs of this. People are no longer interested in One Piece. Now, those who go to sea are looking for the treasure of the sunken kingdom. Treasure-hunting pirates are a very popular mainstream industry now."

Over the years, Lily remained unchanged, as if time had stood still before her.

“Then let’s continue. This is a good thing. Development sometimes can’t be achieved overnight. If it takes a hundred years, so be it. These things will be solved by future generations,” Sag said.

He could handle the Red Earth Continent, but destroying it all at once wouldn't be 'dissolving' anymore. The 'Great Serpent of Karmic Fire' was already dissolving bit by bit, and his forced destruction would only cause the sea level to rise further.

If it dissolves, it can actually lower sea levels.

The ocean is truly amazing.

"Oh dear, come and have some snacks."

Marika came in with a tray as usual, gently setting out the desserts for each person.

Marika, on the other hand, became increasingly voluptuous and mature. Sometimes when Sag saw her, he would inexplicably think of the word "oh my god".

However, her appearance did not age, partly because the prime of life in this world is long enough, and partly because of factors within her control.

boom!
A cheerful pink-haired girl kicked open the door, barged in, plopped down on the sofa, and picked up a spoon to eat the strawberry cake in front of her.

"I can smell the delicious aroma right from the doorway!"

"Wash your hands, Lady." Marika looked at her with a smile.

Renéedia froze, awkwardly put down the spoon, and ran to wash her hands.

Twelve-year-old Renéedia remained unchanged.

This is the privilege of transforming into a storm.

As they age, they can freely adjust whether or not they need to change their physique with age.

But none of them were willing to grow up, not even Lady, who was too lazy to grow up and remained at the age of twelve. Similarly, their minds would also be at this stage.

Saga smiled, and with a flick of his fingers, a wisp of golden mist appeared.

“Sag.”

Lily noticed this too and asked, "Is the golden mist appearing so frequently now?"

Sager smiled slightly, "This is the anchor point. The Mother of the Sea is urging us on. How is Kuzan doing now that he's taken over?"

Lily thought for a moment and said, "Not bad. He does things in a very organized manner, unlike when he was an admiral. Mr. Kizaru Borsalino is also sharing the burden, and together with Moria and the others, they can completely support the current world."

The golden mist appeared suddenly when he unified the sea. It was then that Sagar understood where his previously lost memories were.

The world can also be parallel.

Here, there is a powerful landowner who has unified the entire ocean; over there, there is a warlord who has successfully rebelled with his navy.

Naturally, nothing exists, everything follows its original trajectory, a normal world without landlords or warlords.

This thing really does allow him to travel to other worlds.

After his elevation, the Mother of the Sea, representing nature, was already subtly rejecting him.

The longer it goes on, the stronger the rejection will be, and the more unlucky he will become.

However, regarding this time span...
He could stay for a hundred years, then leave through the golden mist, and return to stay for another hundred years—the Mother of the Sea, or rather, the will of the world, would grant him that much face.

“Let’s have an opening banquet; it’s been a long time since we’ve had one,” Sager suddenly said.

Renéedia, who had just washed her hands and was eating a small cake, looked up and asked, "Huh? Wasn't it just opened the day before yesterday?"

"A day is not long, is it? I've worked so hard to unify the world and finally become the king of the world. Of course I can hold a banquet whenever I want!"

Sag drank a glass of wine and shouted, "Let's have a feast! A grand feast!"

He wants to throw a banquet, and no one in the world can stop him; similarly, he doesn't need to worry about the cost.

Now the whole world is willing to support him; even a tiny bit of his wealth would be enough to make him incredibly rich.

His wealth is the world's wealth, and vice versa.

As for the officials, their salaries come from tax revenue, creating a perfect cycle.

After half a month of preparation, the royal palace's banquet hall, along with the surrounding rooms, was opened to the public. The garden was provided for the giants to rest in, and all the officials who had heard the news came to attend this enormous banquet in Sag, which had not been held for a long time.

Aside from the grand banquet held by Sagh in Ohara when he unified the world, this is only the second one to be held so far.

In fact, even though Sag didn't open up, they still wanted to offer their advice.

The banquet is one thing, but it's also a good thing to call the key officials back for a unified meeting.

If there are any issues, communicate them face-to-face; if there are any resolutions, gather a few key cadres together to study them; and then, once the policy is released, resolutely implement it.

Of course, the only one who was unhappy was Kuzan.

He looks much older these past few years.

It wasn't because I was annoyed by Sag, nor because I thought Ohara was no good; I was simply busy.

He also knew a little about the Golden Mist. As Sager gradually let Lily relinquish some power, all the domestic affairs fell into his hands.

Sometimes when Sag saw him, he would jokingly call him "Little Thirteenth Master".

Although no one knows who Robert Guilliman, who is called "Thirteenth Master", Kuzan is really busy, from morning to night and doesn't even have enough time to sleep.

He has passion; now that this world is in his hands, he wants to maintain this model and pass on that sense of justice.

The former Marines were successfully transferred to Ohara, almost seamlessly. They were Marines in the World Government before, and now they are Marines in Ohara. They are still fighting pirates and illegal evils, but they don't have to worry about any evil things happening at the top anymore. They can truly say 'everything for justice'.

The former natural disaster pirates were transferred to internal affairs, and their duties remained the same as before. In any case, these people were already in charge of both military and political affairs on the local island, so there was no conflict of interest with the navy, which was specifically responsible for patrolling the sea.

After Ohara unified the world, the entire structure was reorganized.

The newly joined Borsalino is the Minister of the Navy, and he works very well with the Minister of the Interior, Moria.

Environment Secretary Hawkins, Finance Secretary Urkhi, and Patrol Secretary Iksha, while the others each have their own duties.

As the banquet began, many people took the opportunity of drinking to discuss his political affairs. However, Sag, who was sitting in the head seat, would occasionally drink his wine without saying a word, just smiling and glancing at the crowd from time to time.

Kuzan sensed something, raised his glass and leaned over, clinked glasses with him, and asked, "Have you made up your mind? I thought you'd stay here a little longer, at least watch me die or something before you left."

"It's a bit of a hassle, but I should be able to come back anytime I want. Speaking of which, I'm just like Im now, practically ruling this world forever," Sager chuckled.

“You’re different. You’ve announced to the world that everyone on the high seas knows you’re going to other worlds. That’s good, otherwise I’d be worried about business. After all, the world is only so big. If we want to bring prosperity to everyone, one world isn’t enough for us.”

Kuzan said, "Even if you come back a hundred years from now, the power to rule will still be in your hands, and things will remain the same as before."

As a ruling demon, it certainly has the confidence to bring a world under its rule.

The so-called "willingness" means that in the future, no matter how long it takes, this place will always be his territory, and the people here will always be his 'tenants'.

To ensure that those under Sag's rule remain prosperous forever requires a great deal of resources. Now that there is peace and security, it seems that everyone has a job and is working hard to produce.

However, the resources available for its production are limited, while the products produced are too numerous. The problems are not yet apparent, but internal analysis suggests that this cycle will be broken within a century at most.

They need another world for 'free trade', to exploit other places, and to obtain cheap resources from other places.

Everyone in the entire ocean knows about this, and many people are thinking of leaving with Sager to go to another world to fight.

"Yes, one world isn't enough to keep us entertained. After enjoying so many years of fine food, we're getting tired of it. We need to try something new."

Sager laughed and said, "Tell me, what would happen if I took you away and let you encounter Kuzan from another world?"

"I've heard you say that people in the same position are different. In another world, for him and me, we are just similar to each other, but there will always be differences."

Kuzan scratched his head. "But if we run into him, I'll advise him not to hang out with Teach. Anyway, I know the truth, so I'll just tell him directly."

"Hahaha, you rascal! I knew it! I knew you harbored some resentment towards Teach back then!"

Sager laughed heartily, picked up the bottle, poured Kuzan a glass himself, then filled his own, before standing up and smiling at the silent crowd who were looking over:
"I've made up my mind. I'll set off right after the banquet! Anyone who wants to follow me, go find Kuzan and sign up. Of course, you need to find your successors and ensure a smooth transition. After all, this world belongs to me. If you choose the wrong people and cause chaos, I'll make sure you regret it!"

"Captain! I want to follow you for life!" This is Ah Jin.

"Multiple choices in fate? That's interesting." That's Hawkins.

"This humble monk can perform multi-dimensional salvation? I wonder what the gods of other worlds are like." This was Urgi.

"Hehehehe, I won't go. I'm too old. I'll just stay here and watch the house for you. But if there's a chance, I'll bring Perona over." This was Moria.

"Wherever my big brother goes, I go!" That's Weibull.

Most of the veterans who followed him as pirates in the past are still willing to continue their adventures.

Honestly, being a pirate is much more comfortable than dealing with government affairs here.

The endless tasks are a real hassle for them, so they'd be happy to take the opportunity to quit.

"Hey! Let's go somewhere else to play!"

Renedia cheered, "I don't want to stay in the sea anymore, I'm going to draw cards! Sager, you keep talking about Blueas and stuff, I want to see what you're up to!"

“Oh dear, I’d like to see the place of the ‘Legend of the Eyes in the Five Villages War,’ Sag. I’ve heard you mention it sometimes. Was it seen in the golden mist? It seems very interesting,” Marika said with a smile.

Lily and the others are definitely going with him.

As products of power, they and Sag are now one.

Not now.

Sager's voice deepened as he walked over to Renéedia, patted her head, then moved to Marika, touching her face. Finally, he reached Lily, lifting her chin with his finger and raising her head.

“Saga.” A blush crept onto Lily’s fair cheeks.

"Don't worry, I need you guys to watch the house for a while. As the eldest, I'll call you over once I've checked things out."

"Until then, you should do your best to improve, so that you don't embarrass me when the time comes."

"And I know what you mean. Lady, in a way I am your brother in the demon realm. We'll talk about it when you're older."

"As for the two of you, I know your feelings, especially yours, Lily."

Sager leaned in, his lips almost touching Lily's earlobe, causing her to tremble inexplicably and nearly go limp.

“I’m waiting for you, Lily.”

He released Lily, raised his glass again, and smiled at the crowd, saying, "Gentlemen, I have ended the Great Pirate Era, but now, I will restart it!"

"The multiverse is a sea, and the starry sea is also a sea! Vegapunk! You have more ways to achieve immortality than I do; those clones are enough for you! Within a hundred years, I will see the moon under my rule!"

"Those who can't keep up with me, go and see the universe! Let those space pirates witness the grand voyage of the Qinghai Pirates!"

"We will set sail again to find the 'Great Treasures' of other worlds! Then we will conquer them, rule them, and make them willingly become my 'tenants'!"

The will passed down through generations, the changes of the times, and people's dreams—these are all unstoppable rubbish!

Whether it be will, the times, or people's dreams, they will all act according to his will, Norton Sager, as he reigns!

Golden mist began to spread from his body, gradually enveloping him.

"Now, I'll go scout ahead!"
