Chapter 340: The Final Battle!
Chapter 340: The Final Battle!
Sag wasn't too concerned about the Marine bounties at the moment, and there had been no related news in the major newspapers. But that didn't matter.
Some things didn't need to be reported to have an impact.
The fact that Sag had led his entire pirate crew into battle and returned with all his ships intact was enough to shake the surrounding pirates.
The pirates who had not yet joined Sag's crew knew who he had gone up against, and they were waiting in the wings.
If Sag hadn't returned or had failed, they would have raided the bustling Ohara and its surrounding islands.
But now, he had only suffered some injuries and lost a few men; all his officers had made it back.
What that meant was clear.
A new Emperor of the Sea was about to be born!
Now that the Heavenly Disaster's influence was still growing, joining them might earn one an important position.
The watching pirates all poured into Ohara and joined the Heavenly Disaster's ranks.
Not only had their previous losses been made up for, but their numbers had increased by two thousand, surpassing ten thousand strong.
And the expansion continued.
Aside from the newly conquered Scopper Island, the other officers, after resting, also continued to conquer the original territory of the Whitebeard Pirates according to the established plan.
This time, they had no worries.
They had already fought Kaido and Big Mom, and those two Emperors wouldn't come after their captain again.
Now, they just needed to keep expanding their influence!
In the New World, there was a semi-elliptical island that had been protected by Whitebeard and still flew his flag even after his death.
At this moment, a pirate ship with a starry sky jolly roger on its sails, but with a tongue logo at the top, was docked at the port, and the pirate flag that controlled the local islands had been burned.
In front of the flames, a pirate captain with a hat knelt on the ground, his body covered in blood. In front of him stood a man with golden hair, a drooping tongue, and a vicious, arrogant face.
Bellamy.
Bang!
He punched the pirate in the face, his fist embedding itself in the man's face and sending him flying.
The force of the punch had completely disfigured the pirate's face.
"This island has been occupied by our Heavenly Disaster Pirate Crew!" Bellamy raised his bloody fist and shouted hoarsely amid the cheers of his subordinates.
...
The latter half of the New World.
On the massive Moby Dick, the pirates were gathered, each squad led by its respective commander.
'Diamond' Jozu and 'Sword' Vista were both present.
After the battle at the summit, they had escaped and continued to act in the name of the Whitebeard Pirates. However, the crew kept glancing at the platform near the aft deck, where a large chair still stood, missing its former occupant.
"Alright, I understand."
Marco put down the phone next to the chair, pressed his lips together, and said to the crowd, "Worem has been defeated by Bellamy of the Heavenly Disaster Pirates, and another island has fallen."
"I have some new information."
'Sword' Vista stepped forward and said in a low voice, "Pabric has been captured by Teach and is also dead."
"Zodia was also killed by Teach," Jozu added.
Things hadn't been going well for them lately.
Aside from Teach occupying Honeycomb Island and crazily encroaching on their territory, the 'Heavenly Disaster' seemed to have coordinated with him, also occupying Whitebeard's territory.
It wasn't that they hadn't fought back, but they just couldn't win.
The Whitebeard Pirates had counterattacked, but just like how Bellamy defeated Worem, none of them were a match for their opponents.
"If this continues, we'll be swallowed up," Vista said. "Marco, it's time for the final battle!"
"Yes, let's have a final showdown, Marco!" the other commanders chimed in. "We can't let Teach and Heavenly Disaster continue like this!"
If they didn't do something, they would be gradually eaten away.
Marco took a deep breath. "Alright, then let's have a final battle. We can't keep going on like this!"
"Who should we fight first?"
"Who should we fight first?" Vista asked.
"Ti..."
Marco was just about to say Teach when he suddenly fell silent.
Teach had stolen their father's ability and killed their comrades, so it was only right to fight him first.
But the problem now was that Teach seemed to have joined forces with Heavenly Disaster; otherwise, they wouldn't be attacking in such quick succession.
Marco wasn't afraid of fighting Teach alone, but could their crew take on two pirate crews at once?
"Blub blub blub."
Just as Marco was deep in thought, the Den Den Mushi started to ring.
The face projected on it changed to that of a man with a resolute expression and three scars on his left eye.
Marco was taken aback and picked up the receiver.
...
On a certain desolate island, amidst the howling wind blowing through the jungle-clad mountaintop, a man's black cloak and red hair fluttered in the breeze.
He had just hung up and was gazing at the azure sea from the mountaintop, a slight smile curving the corners of his mouth.
"I thought you wouldn't get involved in this matter."
A deep voice sounded from behind him.
Beckman, cloaked in what looked like a tattered bedsheet, exhaled a puff of smoke and held a cigarette between his lips as he stood behind the man.
Red-haired Shanks.
"Ah,"
Shanks acknowledged with a sound: "It's common for pirates to win some and lose some, and I usually wouldn't interfere. But,"
He turned his head and smiled, "It's too much for two to gang up on one, isn't it?"
...
In Ohara, within the royal palace of Storm City, Sag sat at a round table in the dining hall, dipping a piece of meat into the large copper pot in front of him while addressing Reneetia beside him:
"Renee, when eating this, just dip it and enjoy it with the unique sauce and a glass of wine. It's delicious, especially during this season."
Outside, in the courtyard visible from where they sat, white snowflakes were falling.
Spring had passed, autumn had arrived, and winter was approaching.
It had been about three months since Sag returned, and although he hadn't ventured out much during this time, his subordinates had been busy expanding their influence.
Overall, almost a year had passed since he arrived in the New World.
At this time of year, the island was in the midst of winter.
It was delightful to warm oneself with hot pot and wine while leisurely watching the snow-covered landscape.
"Sag,"
Just as he was about to eat a perfectly cooked piece of meat dipped in sauce, the door opened, and a voice sounded.
"Oh, Lily, come and join us. We're just about to eat." Sag said.
Lily walked over, holding a Den Den Mushi in her hand. She placed it on the table and handed the receiver to Sag, "It's for you."
"Har har har!"
A familiar, boisterous laugh echoed from the Den Den Mushi.
The projected face now showed a man with a three-pronged beard, his mouth wide open in a raucous laugh, revealing a few missing teeth.
"Ai Bo! Long time no see!"
"We've never met before, have we?"
Sag rolled his eyes, "You seem pretty busy lately. How's the consolidation of your forces going?"
"It's going great! Thanks to you, the pressure on my side has lessened considerably. I hear your business is doing well too. How about it? Are you interested in taking on some orders from me?" Teach laughed heartily.
"Oh? That's a rare offer. I thought you only knew how to take by force. If you want weapons, send someone over to discuss it." Sag replied.
"No, this time I want you to come personally. We have some things to discuss, Sag. Don't you forget our alliance, har har har!"
"Are you here to confirm that? Rest assured, I've never gone back on my word."
"Good, Sag. I'm inviting you to join me in completely crushing Old Man's pirate crew!"
Upon hearing this, Sag was initially taken aback, but then he burst into a sinister smile.
"So they couldn't bear it any longer? Like a mouse scurrying around in hiding, they finally couldn't find a base and were forced out! Hahaha! Whoa, hahaha, hahahaha!"
"Exactly! Now's our chance to usher in an era of our own! Har, har har, har har hahaha!"
