Chapter 487: I'll Allow You to Keep Your Flag
Chapter 487: I'll Allow You to Keep Your Flag
"Buru buru buru buru..."
At Marine Headquarters.
"It's me."
Sakaski, who had been waiting for a long time, picked up the receiver and heard a single sentence that made his eyebrows furrow. With a burst of lava, he melted the receiver in his hand.
Bang!
His fist, covered in magma, slammed onto the desk, creating a hole in it.
"Oh~"
Yellow Monkey pouted, expressing his astonishment, "He actually won, how terrifying."
The words were simple.
Sage had won, and Big Mom was submerged in seawater, her fate unknown.
That Calamity had truly won!
"The balance has long been broken!"
Red Dog stood up, walked to the balcony at the front, and gazed at the Marine buildings below, as well as the turbulent seawater in front of him. He took a drag from his cigar, letting the smoke escape from his mouth.
He clenched his fist tightly, staring intently at the scene before him, and finally, he gritted his teeth, biting off the cigar and speaking in a low voice, "The Great Pirate Era should have ended with Whitebeard's death!"
Yellow Monkey approached, shrugging his shoulders, "The timing is too perfect. At this stage, there's nothing we can do."
He, too, looked out at the vast sea and sighed, "You've taken down a Yonko, just like you, Sakaski."
Taking down a Yonko was not a first for Sakaski.
Two years ago, during the Summit War, Sakaski was the first person to defeat a Yonko.
Although he didn't deliver the final blow, it didn't matter. With that style of fighting, Whitebeard would have eventually died at Red Dog's hands.
Now, there was one more.
Red Dog snorted, "That evil little brat has grown beyond control. Those guys up there are playing with fire. Stir, stir! When this sea can no longer maintain order, let's see what they'll do!"
...
For Sage, defeating Big Mom meant the end of the battle, regardless of whether his side had won or not.
The vast thunder and flames descended upon the entire sea area like a world-ending calamity, signaling the complete end of the battle.
Members of the Big Mom Pirates, whether they had surrendered or not, ultimately fell into the hands of the Calamity Pirates.
In the sea area, the Cake Ship was struck by thunder and split in half. Those who were lucky enough to avoid the thunder didn't have time to catch their breath before a massive fireball descended, hitting the Cake Ship and setting the entire vessel ablaze.
To avoid dying with the ship, they had no choice but to jump into the sea, only to be captured by the nearby Calamity Warships lurking in the water.
Sage didn't give them a chance to surrender, nor did he need them to. Only those who survived had the qualification to be recruited by him.
A day later, near Cake Island, a nearby Cookie Island had the Doom Star and its fleet docked nearby. The town on the island had been taken over by the Calamity Pirates, and their flag had been raised.
In the center of the town, inside a tall cookie house, Sage kicked over a throne made of sandwich cookies, ordering his subordinates to bring over the throne from his ship. He sat on it nonchalantly.
"What is this?"
He broke off a piece of the sandwich cookie throne, popped it into his mouth, and nodded, "The taste isn't bad, but it's not suitable for sitting. Food is food, meant to be placed on a plate or held in one's hand. How can it be used to build a house or sold as clothing? Right, gentlemen?"
In front of him were several people bound in chains.
Katakuri, with his head wrapped in bandages, even in the center of his forehead.
Beside him was Sumugi, with bandages wrapped around his abdomen, and Cliff, with bandages on his forehead, left shoulder, and chest.
Aside from the standard Three Generals, there was Perospero, who had his right hand blown off, Snaggle, who looked like a zongzi, and Owen and Daifu.
The last one wasn't defeated by anyone; he and Aking fought to a standstill. After Saga brought down the thunder, he was directly struck by the lightning and fell.
Daifu was in a similar situation. He narrowly avoided the thunder but couldn't escape the fireball that followed. After jumping into the sea, he was fished out.
A large portion of the numerous Charlotte family members were captured, while the remaining half had either perished in the war or due to accidents, which couldn't be helped.
"What's that you have there?!"
Before Cliff could respond, Perospero couldn't hold back anymore, "I can understand Homizi of the Thundercloud, but what about that fireball you took from Mom?!"
The sudden appearance of the fireball yesterday had startled him greatly. Rather than saying he was captured, it was the appearance of the thunder and fireball that terrified him into surrendering immediately.
"You said you took it, so what's the problem?"
Saga propped his chin with one hand and raised the hand with the golden wristband. As the wristband deformed, a curved blade appeared in his hand.
"The Thunderfire Blade, one of the Three Essentials, is now in my possession!"
He smiled and said, "We're all pirates. Let's be straightforward. Choose between surrender or death."
He wanted the territory and the subordinates.
Even if he divided his forces, it wouldn't be enough to guard such a vast area, but these Charlotte family members were ready-made. It would be a waste not to utilize them.
These people didn't have much claim to the territory either, as they were essentially the same as Saga, occupying a kingdom with sheer force and letting their subordinates handle administration. There was no need to worry about any unexpected issues arising.
After all, with their leader dead, there wasn't much they could do.
"What nonsense are you spouting! Even if Mom is gone, this is still the Charlotte family's territory!"
Before anyone else could finish speaking, Owen, the one with the most explosive temper, shouted, "Katakuri brother is the new captain! Calamity, we will not submit!"
Katakuri, Daifu, and Owen were triplets, and Owen deeply respected Katakuri.
As for their eldest brother, although they had a good relationship, he lacked strength.
"I'm not forcing you to submit."
Saga laughed, "If you were to abandon your flag and pledge allegiance to me, that would be a problem. But I'm being generous to you. I have another plan."
"To be honest, it would be challenging for me to forcefully take over this place, so I need you."
He didn't hide his intentions at all. Extending his hand towards them, he said, "So, become my affiliate pirates. I'll grant you the same privileges as the Fur Tribe. They retained autonomy over their territory, and you will be the first pirate crew under my command that can keep your flag and name. You can continue as the Big Mom Pirate Crew. But this territory belongs to me, and I won't interfere with your plunder. Just give me 40% of your earnings."
Saga bared his teeth, revealing a chilling set of white teeth, "After all, as a Four Emperor's pirate crew, it would be a waste if it disappeared completely, right?"
This family, when all its members were counted, could fill an entire ship, and each one was an elite.
If they were all killed, even if Tich replaced their abilities one by one and trained to reach their level, it would still take time and luck.
It was better to use them directly.
As for the impact, there wouldn't be any as long as he was alive.
