Chapter 418: Are You a Good Man? I Am the Savior!
Chapter 418: Are You a Good Man? I Am the Savior!
Amidst the dark clouds, a menacing aura of destruction loomed, and behind this veil, the Fur Tribe members emerged, their transformation undone.
They were uncertain if they could bring about the end of the world, but wiping out their entire tribe seemed inevitable.
Doglan and Viper had followed Roger in their early years and knew the terrifying power of these top-tier individuals.
Some things sound trivial when described, merely the effects of their abilities, but witnessing them firsthand would leave one in awe and terror.
These were people who could casually destroy towns, create tsunamis with a flick of their hands, and even summon islands from the sky with a simple gesture, turning the world upside down.
Among them, some adhered to rules, some upheld justice, and some acted with utter disregard, much like the white-haired figure above who, with a mere hand movement, summoned thunderbolts, reducing everything to rubble.
They didn't doubt Sage was lying; someone of his caliber had no need for deception, especially with that gaze.
He cared not for the lives of the Fur Tribe! He was resolute in his belief that what he sought would be here and that he didn't require the tribe's guidance.
No one here could stop him.
Would the Fur Tribe truly perish here? This wasn't a matter that could be settled by sacrificing a few lives.
"It's a noble quality to be willing to die for your homeland, but if everyone is gone, what exactly are you protecting?"
Sage sneered at them, "Are you going to guard this place with the souls of the dead? Or will you protect my flag?"
The annihilation of the tribe meant nothing to him; he bore no psychological burden.
Anyone who stood in the way of his plans and rule should be swept into the dustbin of history.
Now that he was here, he had no intention of leaving empty-handed. Either the Fur Tribe would submit, or they would be destroyed.
If there was something worth developing here, he would plant his flag; if not, he would still plant his flag.
After all, this place was too far for Sage to manage at the moment. According to Lily, Zou was very close to Dressrosa, located in the first half of the New World's first half, beyond Sage's reach from his position in the latter half.
His rule was based on territory, and he had no intention of challenging Kaido and Big Mom's control here, as it would turn this place into a battleground.
But planting a flag was feasible, and he could always return to develop it later when he had a plan.
Seeing the unmoved Fur Tribe, Sage shook his head, ready to strike.
"Enough! That's enough!"
Just then, a loud roar came from below, not from Viper or Doglan, but from Pedro, whose bangs were blown aside, revealing a terrifying scar that pierced his left eye.
He knelt on the ground and shouted upwards, "I am the leader of the Samurai Guild and the second Night King! I have the right to represent the Fur Tribe. If you seek revenge, then kill me to satisfy your anger!"
Like how Jango, Bepo's brother, had died to protect him, Pedro was willing to sacrifice himself for the sake of his tribe!
"Are you overestimating yourself?"
Sage's arm didn't hesitate; it was already halfway through its motion. "I have no interest in your life."
He had no interest in the lives of the Fur Tribe either, and it was precisely because of this that he could destroy them without hesitation!
"We submit! We submit! We pledge our loyalty to you!"
Pedro immediately reacted, bowing his head to the ground. As the thunderbolts peered through the clouds, about to strike, he roared with all his might.
Having ventured out to sea and searched for the Poneglyphs, he knew the choice he had to make between the survival of his race and the protection of the Holy Land.
If everyone was gone, what was the point of a homeland?
The thunderbolts continued to fall, and in an instant, Pedro, with an unknown burst of speed, quickly grabbed the falling Sicilian beside him, pressing his head to the ground.
"This is the captain of the Musketeers, the second King of the Day. He too has the right to submit!"
The black and red lightning, visible to the naked eye, had already descended upon the heads of the numerous fur tribesmen.
"Enough!"
At this moment, the Cat Viper and Doglan knelt on the ground, their heads bowed low, their expressions somber. "We surrender," they spoke in a low voice.
All the members of the Fur Tribe, whether begrudgingly or out of fear, followed suit, kneeling alongside the cat and the dog.
Boom!
The thunder that had reached their heads suddenly exploded, bursting into sparks in the air, like fireworks at a grand celebration, and then concentrated into a ball of lightning that split apart.
The dark clouds gradually dispersed, and the moonlight shone through, illuminating the town and covering the Fur Tribe, but without exception, no one looked up again.
Sage slowly descended from the sky, laughing. "Isn't this a good choice?"
"Yes, you've won," Doglan spoke softly. "Our entire tribe is no match for you, and we cannot accept being destroyed."
They too had a great grudge to settle, but even if they temporarily submitted, they needed to ensure the survival of their entire tribe.
The Cat Viper and Doglan exchanged a glance, and then both lowered their heads even further.
Taking their lives would be easy, but if they didn't surrender, these tribesmen would also die.
Even though they had fallen out and divided into the so-called Night and Day, they were still part of the Fur Tribe.
No one could bear the responsibility of the tribe's destruction, and neither could they.
This moment weighed heavily upon them.
Loyalty was more important than death, but the continuation of the tribe was equally significant.
The burden on their heads was too heavy! All along, whether it was Doglan or Cat Viper, they always felt that loyalty was above all else. To die for friendship and bonds was a satisfying choice, and the entire Fur Tribe was like this, valuing loyalty and righteousness, thus sacrificing themselves for justice.
It's just a matter of life and death. But when it came down to it, they realized that it wasn't as simple as they had imagined when it involved the entire tribe.
In this situation, they couldn't make a decision, and in the end, they instinctively chose the continuation of their race.
"We willingly step down from our positions as leaders of the Fuzziness Kingdom. We ask that you treat them well," the Cat Viper spoke with his head bowed.
At this time, they were no longer suitable to be leaders.
"Hmph, as long as you submit, I don't need you two. Do as you please, and in this regard, I am quite magnanimous. But are you sure you won't follow me? Following me, you'll have soup to drink and meat to eat."
Sage burst into laughter. "I won't mistreat my own people, unlike that fool Kozuki Oden!"
"Your Excellency, I don't know where you heard Kozuki Oden's story, but as his retainer, I cannot tolerate you belittling him."
The Cat Viper and Doglan raised their heads. "We have already stepped down as leaders, and this represents only ourselves. Even if we die, we will defend Kozuki Oden's honor."
"Hah! What honor does he have? The honor of a true man?"
Sage laughed. "It's just my personal opinion. He's not yet worthy of my belittlement. Perhaps he's a true man in his own right, after all, people on the sea do as they please, and their actions are their own choices, blameless."
"But when you involve an entire nation, it's a different story. If believing in fate and dying, thus bringing an entire nation into turmoil, is the honor of a true man."
Sage said, "Then am I, who leads my people to prosperity, not a savior?"
Although he was known as the 'Pirate Savior', Sage never considered himself one.
He was just a pirate who chose the pirate profession, and everything he did was out of his personal preferences.
He was just a man who valued righteousness.
