Chapter 415: In Summary, I'm Here to Conquer
Chapter 415: In Summary, I'm Here to Conquer
The Overlord Aura emanated from the center, spreading and enveloping half of the town, causing the fur tribe below to change their expressions, some even swaying in their stance, their faces filled with terror.
But not a single one fell.
"Oh?"
Lily let out a soft exclamation, "They're all quite capable warriors."
"This is... Overlord Aura!"
Pedro exclaimed.
As the dark cloud descended, the scene inside the black ship was observed by some of the fur tribe. On the left and right guardrails were numerous fierce-looking pirates, so densely packed that the fur tribe instantly assumed combat stances.
At that moment, two powerful auras approached swiftly, one from the left and the other from the right.
On the left was a dog wearing a knight's armor, a helmet, and a longsword at its waist, resembling a Saint Bernard breed. On the right was a creature with golden, frizzy fur, a sun-like head, long pointed ears, and a pink bib around its belly, holding a double-headed trident.
Despite their intimidating appearance, they gave Sage a distinct Garfield Cat impression.
"What are pirates doing here?"
Doglan and Viper stood at the forefront of the fur tribe, with the latter questioning and the former glancing at the Doom Star Ship, his gaze settling on the white-haired figure standing at the ship's head, his eyes slightly narrowed.
White Hair.
Zouwu, though reclusive, had access to radios, and major world news would reach them.
For instance, the Great War, which had broadcasted worldwide, and...
The public execution of a Dragon Person by a certain pirate, witnessed by the entire world.
Although it was just a voice, they had indeed received the information, and at that time, the intelligence confirmed a white-haired individual.
As for the person, they didn't recognize him, as it had been many years since they last sailed.
"Are you Norton Sage?" Viper asked.
As soon as he finished speaking, the white-haired figure on the ship's head disappeared and reappeared at the edge of the dark cloud, looking down at the cat and dog below.
"I heard that your fur tribe lives in seclusion, I didn't expect anyone to know me."
Sage smiled, "But you're wrong, Lily."
Lily pursed her lips, looking at Marika and Renitiah for help, the former offering a smile that conveyed nothing but goodwill, while the latter whistled, leaning back with her hands behind her head, gazing off to the side.
Behind them, Akin was eager, but he knew that with the three female executives present, this wasn't his task.
Lily exhaled and, in a flash, appeared beside Sage, also looking down at the fur tribe, then at Sage, "I don't want to say it."
That shameful and lengthy title was something she didn't want to utter.
It was a phone call last time, which was slightly better as she didn't have to show her face.
But this time, with so many people around, her sense of shame wouldn't allow it.
"You're not taking the opportunity."
Sage gave her a sidelong glance, unbothered, and turned to face below, baring his teeth, "In summary, pledge your loyalty to me, the Pirate King!"
Pirate King
"One of the Four Emperors?"
Viper muttered, looking up, "If you're here just to recruit us, as long as someone is willing to follow you, we can agree!"
The rest of the fur tribe also relaxed.
So, they were here to recruit.
Sage was momentarily stunned by this statement.
But upon reflection, it didn't seem like an issue.
They lived in seclusion, but some of their tribe did work under pirates.
Big Mom had fur tribe members, and that Lo, who owed him 5.2 billion belli, also had a fur tribe member in his crew.
He had one under his command as well, although the person didn't acknowledge it, but in the eyes of the Fur Tribe, they were still considered part of the same clan.
The Fur Tribe did not prohibit their people from venturing out to sea.
However, in his impression, the people of this race were all quite stubborn.
Sage had already prepared for a show of force.
Sage stroked his chin and looked at the people below him, "Hmm, before that, I want one more thing."
"If you are truly the Pirate King, then you won't find anything here that interests you."
Doglan spoke in a deep voice, "The Fur Tribe has nothing but trees. If you want to recruit, follow our rules. The Whale Forest in the Fuzziness Kingdom is the only place that doesn't allow outsiders. You're getting close! We're not friends yet, so please leave!"
"Looks like that's the place."
Sage glanced at the whale tree in the center and smiled, "I want to recruit you all, the more the better. But when I came, I was already prepared to fight all of you. After all, in my eyes, using force is the fastest and most convenient way."
He took a step forward and descended from the dark cloud, landing in the center of the surrounding Fur Tribe.
"And I'm going into that Whale Forest."
Sage looked at Doglan and Viper, laughing softly, "It's there, in the historical text."
"You!" Viper's pupils constricted.
"There's no such thing!"
Doglan took a step back, unconsciously gripping the hilt of his longsword at his waist, and said solemnly,
"The Whale Forest is just a sacred site passed down through generations of the Fur Tribe. It's just a tree. We don't even know what that thing you mentioned is!"
"That's right!"
Viper also realized, "If you insist on forcing your way in, then you'll be our Fur Tribe's enemy! All of our people would rather die than join you!"
"Yes, that's how it is. I'm not used to you not being stubborn. After all, your clan has been the retainers of the Kozuki family in Wano Country for generations, hahaha."
Sage burst into laughter, his laughter causing the nearby Fur Tribe to feel threatened.
What he said was absolutely true!
The Fur Tribe and the Kozuki family had always been on good terms, and to some extent, they were also retainers of the Kozuki family. Not just the two of them, the 'Crimson Sheath Nine Knights', but the entire Fur Tribe.
But
How did this guy know about this!
"It doesn't matter. I'm already here. Whether you hand over the item or not doesn't affect me much. I just need to know it exists. On the contrary, your current battle stance is very good. I'm prepared to subdue you anyway."
Sage spread his hands at his waist, his left foot in front of his right, his head slightly lowered, and his voice deepened, "Good things can't be kept without strong force. Being high up doesn't guarantee absolute safety. Let me tell you, weakness is the original sin. For someone as powerful as me, I can strike you down whenever I want!"
"Let's fight then. I'll give you a chance."
Sage raised his hand towards the sky, and the enormous cape above him began to spread dark clouds, covering the entire elephant's back and turning it into a dark land.
"A chance to fight me one-on-one! If you make it difficult for me, I'll just take that item and follow your rules, recruiting only those who are willing to follow me. But if I win..."
Sage lifted his head, his face contorting, "Will you serve me as your master?"
