Chapter 546: The Higuma's Loyalty, a Dream, and the Vast Sky
Jack was reckless, but not entirely foolish. There were times when he had to persuade Kaido to stay calm.
Since the Calamities and Kaido were engaged in battle, it was pointless for him to defeat these people now. It would be better to wait for Kaido to win and then recruit these people into the Beast Pirates.
This wasn't a bad idea at all. Wilbur, that guy, was more to his liking!
"The Land of Harmony belongs to the Higuma family. What does your Governor want to do?"
Cat Viper sensed something amiss. The key point he heard was, 'The Calamity wants to raid the Land of Harmony.'
Dealing with Kaido alone wasn't enough; now they had to add the Calamity to the mix? "Of course, it's to bring the Land of Harmony under our command and complete the unification of the first half of the New World."
"We think this is a good thing," Pedro said.
Xisiyan fell silent for a moment, closing his eyes slightly. When he opened them again, his eyes, influenced by the Moon Lion, glowed with determination. "The Higuma are the Higuma, Kaido is Kaido, and the Land of Harmony is the Land of Harmony! We are the Governor's men! We are Norton's retainers!"
"
"It's the times that have changed, Your Highness!"
Xisiyan roared back with equal intensity, "We're just on different sides! You follow the Higuma, we follow Norton. There's no difference! We no longer need to cling to those vague future prophecies or risk the entire tribe's lives to protect the so-called Higuma! We have a better future!"
"Look!"
E
"All of this, we took it! Look at the jewelry on my hand! Look at the gold around my neck! Just give half to the Governor, and the rest is ours!"
"We can come down from Zou, sail freely in the great sea, enter the land of the Minks, and enjoy the conveniences they bring. We can also accumulate wealth through looting, obtain better goods, and make Zou a better place!"
"Zou is already different from before. We've made use of those ruins and rebuilt better walls. Whether it's the treehouses or other houses, they've all changed! Even the Minks have come to live with us, bringing better craftsmanship and goods!"
"The Fur Tribe members who don't participate in battles can also live well because we have tourists now. Just the income from tourism is enough for everyone to live comfortably."
"There's no need to wait for the Elephant to bestow food, no need to wash clothes until they turn white, and no need to pass down a few pieces of clothing for decades! We have everything! Just as the Governor said..."
"This vast sea should bear the marks of our existence!"
"
"Although my title was bestowed by you, you no longer hold authority. The Day King and the Night King are titles granted by the Governor. We don't need your recognition."
"The future of the Day Fur Tribe is on my shoulders, Your Highness!" Xisiyan shouted. "This is the last time I call you Highness. Leave the Land of Harmony; this place is not for you to meddle in!"
"Black Charcoal has ruled for twenty years."
X
Sizzle!
The knight's sword in his hand erupted with electrical flashes. "Then let you and the Higuma be buried in the Land of Harmony!"
The Higuma...
Just a while ago, they were willing to die for the Higuma, even to the point of sacrificing the entire tribe.
But when the Governor arrived, they underwent a complete transformation.
During that time, they frequently visited Ohara and heard the Governor's plans. When they considered targeting the Higuma, they couldn't help but feel uneasy. However, they had already pledged their loyalty to the Governor.
It was a choice between friendship and promises, between loyalty and devotion. They had to choose one.
"
Lily's words still echoed in their minds.
And so, the entire Fur Tribe pledged their loyalty to the Governor, becoming retainers like the Demonic Tribe.
Friendship still existed, but loyalty...
Was even more important!
The Higuma's loyalty, a dream, and the vast sky.
To abandon the old and outdated rules for the Furry Tribes was to embrace the changing times!
The current Xisilian would not feel any unease.
The Governor was so delighted that he hosted a banquet, patting his and Pedro's shoulders, saying that even if a super Furry Tribe appeared, he would not destroy Zou, and there was no so-called God of Destruction manipulating him.
As long as he lived, the Furry Tribes could sail safely within his territory.
As for Sage's death, in Xisilian's eyes, from now on, the Furry Tribes would owe their lives to the Norton Family for generations to come! Their numbers far exceeded that of the Demonic Tribe!
Whoosh!
O
They were all in Moon Lion Form, and any gap in strength would not be significant.
"Dog Dog Door Wind!"
Sizzle!
W
"Yada One Sword Style."
He sheathed his knight's rapier and lunged forward, like thunder, swiftly stabbing towards Xisilian.
"Vigorous Arrow!"
"Lion Shattering Rock Sword!!"
Clang!!
This swift strike not only missed Xisilian but was countered by his own sword, as the haki on their sword tips collided, creating a gap between them.
"
Xisilian roared, "How can a dog possibly defeat a lion! Even the loyal dog of the Higuma Family is no match for Norton's crippled leopard!!"
In a battle of wills, he would not lose.
Huff!
T
Consolto, as a Fox Fur Tribe, was even more agile and cunning. With a few nimble movements, he appeared on Xisilian's other side, crossing his swords and slashing fiercely.
Hiss!!
Puff!
"Even a cat is no match for a leopard!"
Pedro appeared from Cat Viper's side, his longsword summoning thunder, and with one strike, he slashed from Cat Viper's left side to his right waist, piercing him.
"Pedro! You!"
Cat Viper opened his mouth, spitting out a mouthful of blood, his gaze fixed on Pedro. Just then, the wind blew, revealing a full eye beneath his wind-swept hair, with a vertical pupil.
"Your eyes... and the Governor's life..."
"The Governor has truly reached the pinnacle of power! He can even extend his life!"
Pedro spoke in a cold tone, "Boss Cat Viper, I respect you, but if you don't leave, I can only kill you! After all, the Higuma Family's favorite cat is no match for Norton's crippled leopard! This round, we win!"
Like Xisilian, Pedro felt a sense of guilt, but for the sake of loyalty, he had to take action!
He had gained more from Sage.
The Hohohoh Fruit did not have the power to return life, and even if it did, Big Mom would not remember a small fry like him. When she died, nothing could be undone.
In this regard, Sage had spoken too soon.
But it wasn't exactly a lie.
He used a technique called 'Secret Hole Mind Platform' to forcibly extend his remaining lifespan.
This technique, it was said, was used to torment people, causing them to experience prolonged illusions and excruciating torture. However, it seemed to have changed, merely extending his remaining lifespan.
But the cost was three days of weakness for the Governor.
With the help of the Dwarf Tribe's Manxley's medical treatment and Hocubak's surgical modifications, not only was his right eye replaced with a real leopard's eye, but his physique and internal organs were also enhanced, stubbornly extending his lifespan.
Although it wasn't as long as the fifty years of life taken from him, the Governor estimated that he had extended his life by at least twenty years.
Of course, it wasn't without a price.
The surgical materials alone cost nearly thirty billion belli, not including the manpower and resources spent on the search.
For a promise made in the past, Pedro had already sold his life to Sage.
The new Night King would not betray his loyalty to the Governor because of old friendships!
Now, they also had to prove to the Governor that the Higuma Family's loyal dog and favorite cat were no match for Norton's lion and crippled leopard!
