Chapter 219: You Owe Me 5.2 Billion
Chapter 219: You Owe Me 5.2 Billion
The supernovas gathered in the Shabondy Archipelago mostly kept to themselves, and the occasional conflicts were merely due to mutual dissatisfaction, resulting in brief skirmishes.
Fundamentally, they were all clear about their purpose. As pirates who had not yet entered the New World, they knew they had no grounds for conflict.
Their true targets should be the powerful beings in the New World. That was what they ought to focus on.
Even Sag, whose origins were a mystery, should have adhered to the unspoken rule of Shabondy.
But what was this? Were they going to rob them?
Clang, clang!
The weapons brandished by the underlings of the various supernovas shook violently, and even the sword at Lily's waist began to tremble. She frowned slightly, her left hand pressing down on the sword hilt as she forcibly restrained the sword at her waist.
"Hmm?"
Hawkins, on the other hand, tightly gripped his long sword and glanced around, a furrow forming on his brow.
"Damn it!"
Reinette tightly clutched her tool hammer, and sparks flew from her fingers, causing the elongated hammer to shrink back to a size that could be wielded with one hand. She prevented it from trembling any further.
"Hey, hey, stop! That's my shield!"
Unlike the others, Pawl couldn't suppress the reaction, and the iron shields worn on his front and back suddenly detached, as if someone had stripped him of his clothes from a distance. Like the weapons of the other supernova's underlings, they all gathered in Kid's outstretched left hand.
Iron nails used to fix buildings, iron pots and kitchen knives flying out from inside nearby buildings, and the owner's collection of knives—anything made of metal flew out and gathered in the gradually growing metal blob, constantly condensing and shaping into a huge arm made entirely of metal.
Pawl's iron shield even became the center of the palm.
"I ate the Jiji Jiji no Mi and became a Magnet Man!"
Kid lifted his head slightly, his eyes bloodshot. "You dare rob me? Go to hell!"
The gigantic mechanical arm, like the hand of a giant, viciously swung towards Sag, its palm covering Sag's surroundings, including people and buildings. He didn't care at all if anyone got caught in the crossfire.
To hell with the Navy! He was Kid!
"What power..."
Drake stared intently at Kid.
The second-highest bounty was indeed not given out lightly, and it posed a significant threat.
This was a good opportunity to see just how powerful that six-hundred-million-belli bounty really was.
Boom!
However, just as he had this thought, the gigantic mechanical arm suddenly shattered. It was as if something had pierced it from the inside, rapidly breaking through the entire arm. Immediately after, Kid's head was struck, and he was viciously knocked to the ground.
At that moment, the metal objects in the air began to fall like rain, blocking everyone's vision.
Through the falling metal, they saw a figure with white hair standing over the fallen Kid, his foot pressing down on Kid's head.
"Magnetism? Even if I'm illiterate, I know magnetism isn't used like this. You might as well change your name to Ironman. No matter how much you mix those weak external objects, it won't change their fundamental nature."
Sag looked down at him and shook his head. "You seem even more illiterate than me. What's your bounty again?"
As he spoke, he turned to look at Lily.
"Three hundred and fifteen million," Lily replied, understanding Sag's unspoken question.
"In the world of pirates, the winner takes all, and I won, so I'm in the right. But I'm a fair person; I won't take more than I should. I'll just take your bounty as my spoils. No complaints, right? Whether you sell scrap metal or whatever else, you owe me three hundred and fifteen million."
Sag looked at Kid under his foot and continued, "However, since we're fellow pirates, I'll let you owe me. But since this is a robbery, the terms are one day. After that, it's 50% interest per day. If you pay within three months, it's 100%. Six months, 200%. One year, 300%. If you don't pay after a year, then hand over your Jolly Roger. Without a flag in the New World, you can't call yourselves pirates."
Kill them?
There was no need for that. He was just robbing them.
When buying someone's life, you had to pay for it. Pure slaughter was meaningless.
Unless absolutely necessary, he wouldn't lift a finger, especially against these pirates who could clearly make him money.
He knew how lucrative pirates could be. Whatever they earned was pure profit.
Why was Sag so generous, giving 50% of the spoils to his crew? Because this money had cost them nothing. Whether they earned a lot or a little, it was all pure profit. Aside from the more challenging times when he had to get his hands dirty, Sag rarely acted personally these days. Usually, his crew did the work.
They could earn thousands of millions, even billions, in just a few hours of work in a town, enjoying delicious food and drink. All it cost them was a bit of sweat.
This industry isn't lucrative; what industry is?
He's seen a pirate crew become paupers, and he hasn't even encountered them yet. If he did, he wouldn't bother robbing them.
Sag doesn't rob paupers.
Especially since he gave some away.
But not all pirates can be paupers, right?
This guy looks so arrogant; he must have some capital.
He's also not worried about them running away. If they've gathered here, they must be heading to the New World. They're pirates, after all, and can't hide like sewer rats on the high seas. If they want to become famous, they'll have to reveal their whereabouts, and the longer it takes, the more money Sag can rob from them.
"You despicable guy!!"
Kid, his head pressed underfoot, roared in anger, his arms twitching as he tried to move, only to see Sag coldly smile and press his foot down harder, embedding his head halfway into the ground.
Boom!
A blast of air rippled from Sag's foot, and Kid's body stiffened, his hand, which had just started to rise, falling back down.
Buzz!
Behind them, the sound of spinning air broke the silence, andキラ (Kira) quickly approached Sag from behind, two specially made handled sickles spinning in his hands like propellers, both attacking Sag's neck from behind.
"Beheading Whirlwind!"
Bang!
Just as he got close, a knife hand struck out from the side, colliding with his arm and, with immense force, hitting his neck and head, sendingキラ flying and crashing to the ground.
Without moving, Sag retracted his outstretched hand and turned his head to look, "Sneak attacks are useless against me. Oh, your weapon is quite unique, just like A Jin, but one is a stick, and one is a sickle. Are you a swordsman?"
"162 million. An entire pirate crew," Lily reported promptly.
"Hmm? It's actually two million more than you. And this is what they amount to?"
Sag raised an eyebrow and said, "What are the Navy assessments for? My bounty hasn't increased, nor has the bounty of my crew. Yet, this guy's bounty is pretty high. How much for an entire pirate crew?"
"477 million," Lily said.
"Let's call it 500 million."
Sag waved his hand and said, "Take out 500 million to buy your lives. Similarly, calculate the interest. If you don't have the money, owe it first. I like people owing me money."
A landlord, after all, should have a few debtors.
A landlord can issue loans, and a pirate can plunder, so combining the two, it's issuing loans out of thin air.
But Sag follows rules, and to truly collect the money, he can't give an amount that others can't afford to pay.
"Hey! You're too overbearing; we didn't do anything!" Bonnie shouted, getting up from the ground.
"140 million," Lily said.
"Do pirates even care about doing things or not? If you must have a reason, look, my chef's hand is injured, and I think you're all responsible. But to ask for compensation or something is irrelevant to pirates, so I might as well just rob you."
Sag laughed, "You're the same, and I didn't say I'd spare you."
As soon as these words came out, everyone was shocked.
"Castle • Machine Gun!"
Capone's body was riddled with tiny holes, and countless gun barrels extended from within, emitting sparks as if they were shuttles. The bullets that left his body rapidly expanded into a barrage, heading straight for Sag.
He had eaten the Castle-Castle Fruit, and his entire body was a fortress that could shrink any object into it and deploy the weapons and people stationed inside at will!
There was no way Sag could dodge this attack.
But Sag didn't intend to dodge; he stomped his foot down again, embedding Kid's head further into the ground, and turned to smile at him contemptuously, "Enlarge? You want to play with size in front of me? Five times speed."
Swoosh!
The speed was so fast that one could barely see Sag's hands disappear, and the barrage of bullets in front of him vanished as if they had entered another dimension.
It was only at this moment that Beck saw Sag extend his hands, his five fingers spread open, and countless bullets falling from his palms.
He caught them all?!
Those were bullets!
Beck's pupils constricted, and sweat dripped from his forehead.
Drake was even more shocked. He didn't see Sag use Haki; how resilient was this guy's body that he could even withstand bullets?!
"Five-Finger Vacuum Grip."
Sag smiled and suddenly reached out with two fingers, pinching a falling bullet.
His body wasn't resilient enough to withstand bullets, but he knew how to skillfully catch flying objects.
However, pure physical speed alone might not be enough, but with a slight boost, he could catch them all.
"138 million," Lily continued.
"Make it 200 million."
Sag held the bullet between his fingers and pointed it at the short man. "Let me show you what real magnification is—enlarge it tenfold!"
Bang!
As his thumb flicked, the bullet-shaped projectile left a trail of afterimages before suddenly expanding from a diameter of about six millimeters to about six centimeters. It viciously struck Beck in the abdomen, sending him flying with a spray of blood. Beck plowed through the ground for several meters before finally falling still.
Just as his abdomen was about to be pierced, a stony, cracked skin with traces of architecture appeared, resembling a destroyed fortress.
"An ability user, huh?"
Sag glanced at the others. "How about this: I won't count the ones under 100 million. Those over 100 million will be counted as 200 million, and those over 200 million will be counted as 300 million. As for you..."
Whoosh!
Before Drake could react, Sag appeared in front of him. Drake didn't even have a chance to counter with his weapon as a giant hand grabbed his head, exerting immense force and viciously slamming him into the ground.
However, just as he was about to be crushed, the captured head suddenly grew larger and elongated, transforming into a dinosaur!
An ancient Zoan-type, Spinosaurus form!
"Roar!"
The dinosaur bared its fangs and stretched its neck, biting back at Sag's body.
"A dinosaur?"
Sag's five fingers tightened, and before the dinosaur, which seemed to be eight or nine meters tall, could even straighten its body, his fingers penetrated its neck, forcing it back down to the ground.
Boom!
The massive dinosaur was viciously slammed into the ground, creating a dent.
"222 million," Lily said.
"I wonder if it could earn back 300 million berries if used for busking. The cycle is so long that it might never break even."
"Scratch-Scratch-Boom!"
Boom!
Just as Sag finished speaking, his body suddenly exploded, creating a loud bang and a cloud of smoke.
Appo struck a pose with one fist on his chest and the other hand outstretched, his index finger pointing at the center of the smoke. "Serves you right! You got attacked!"
However, none of the members of the Natural Disaster Pirate Crew showed any signs of surprise at the sudden explosion.
Reinette was inspecting her mechanical hammer to check for any magnetic interference, as there were many intricate structures inside that could be affected.
Malica, on the other hand, was holding out her hand as her subordinates applied a splint and bandages. She remained calm and collected.
Hawkins had even found a protruding tree root to sit on. He extended a few straws from his legs and placed Tarot cards on them, calmly saying, "None of them will die today."
Lily glanced at the long-armed man and said, "198 million. Pretty close to 200 million."
"Then make it 300 million!"
The smoke was suddenly blown away, and before Appo could react, Sag's voice reached his ears. Appo's body began to move, but before he could take a step back, the terrifying white-haired figure was already in front of him. A knife-hand strike aimed at his neck.
Appo's head involuntarily tilted to the side, and the teeth he was clenching sprayed blood. His eyes were filled with shock.
That power...
It was too immense!
Bang!
His body was sent flying, crashing into a building and creating a hole in it.
Sag patted the chest of his shirt, the coating of Haki on it having already dissipated. "The extra 100 million will cover the cost of dirtying my shirt, which is worth 2 million berries. Although it's only worth 2 million, it's on my body, so of course, the price goes up."
As he spoke, he looked at Law, who was getting up. "You're different. You look familiar... What's your name again?"
"Trafalgar Law, 200 million berries," Lily added.
"Room!"
Law clenched one hand into a fist, and a circular sphere formed and quickly expanded, enveloping both himself and Sag.
He drew his extremely long sword and viciously slashed at the empty air. "Butcher's Field!"
Then, he looked at Sag, who was completely unharmed and wore a puzzled expression, cold sweat dripping down his face.
That feeling...
His Haki had been resisted!
The immense Haki emanating from this guy made it impossible for Law to exert his ability's control over him!
"Oh, I remember now. It's you," Sag said, his teeth clenched. "You owe me 5.2 billion berries!"
He remembered now—this guy left quite an impression.
The Ope Ope no Mi!
The fruit rumored to be worth 5 billion berries and grant eternal life!
