Chapter 282 1.8 Billion Baileys! (6k) (Ch 282)

“I didn’t expect that…”
Among the crowd, there was also Sifu who surrendered. He was first surprised by the almost destroyed city, then he walked over, looked at the red-haired boy curled up there, and sighed:
“It was resolved so quickly.”
“Who are you?” asked Sarge.
“You must be Sarge, I’m Sif, I surrendered here.”
Sifu shrugged. “I was thinking of using you guys to fight William, but I didn’t expect that he’s already dead. Soder… has he also lost?”
His target swept over the pile of minced meat on the ground and the electric white heavy sword next to it.
“Know him?” Sager narrowed his eyes slightly.
Xifu nodded, “I became a bandit…”
“Okay, I don’t want to hear it.”
Sarge waved his hand and said, “Since you have surrendered, you should serve me well. I will not treat you unfairly.”
“How willful, boss! Did you also kill Timadon’s army?” asked Sif.
Sager was stunned. “Yes, there is an army… Never mind. I will go there myself to see if I can expand my staff.”
On the other side of the sea is freedom…no, it’s the army.
There are still 50,000 people on the other side.
It just so happened that he had suffered heavy losses, and those 50,000 people could not only replenish his men, but also be used as a defensive force for the territory.
“That’s the problem, Boss. Those people…are useless.”
Sif looked at William’s body again and said, “Those possessed by William can share his will, but they will also be infected by his will. Even if the person with the ability dies, there will be no change.”
“This guy claims to create a peaceful country without desires, but in reality, how can a person be without desires? The possessed person is no different from a puppet except for maintaining a normal life. The 50,000 troops of Timadon are like this. Now they have become puppets who only know how to follow orders.”
“oh?”
Moriah’s eyes flickered. “That’s a disposable zombie. With 50,000 of these zombies and this guy’s combat power, you can actually hold on until now. Do you have any secret weapons that you haven’t used yet?”
The strong man who fought with Sager to such an extent, and the 50,000 zombies who were not afraid of death, were no match for the ones they encountered.
Even if there are 100,000 troops, which is 50,000 more than the opposite side, there is a difference between being afraid of death and not fearing death. This is human instinct. Few people can fight with the intention of dying. If there are strong ones, the outcome should have been decided long ago.
On his way here, he was reviewing the game with Lily. The reason they were able to win was purely because of the good promises made by those new subordinates.
The old subordinates were all experienced guys with strong willpower. There was nothing they could do about the death of more than half of them. It was mainly because they were swept up in the war. Otherwise, they would still be able to retreat.
However, since the new men had just joined, it was impossible for them to continue fighting in the face of heavy casualties. They were able to fight to the last moment purely because their greed overcame their fear for their lives.
After all, if they win, they can rule the kingdom, at least half of it!
Anyway, they are not the ones who will die, so what if they survive and win?
Many people held this idea in mind and fought with Tihana’s army. As for Tihana’s army, they simply could not escape. The big cadres of the Scourge Pirates were divided, but the small cadres were always there, and each of them was a good fighter against many enemies. In the fight, they would not let the army escape.
This is because they are outnumbered. If they face 50,000 pirates, Lily can guarantee that they won’t lose many people. And with Sarge… they may even be unharmed.
So how did these guys resist Timadon?
Just rely on those recruited coalition forces?
“Thord.”
Sifu sighed, “If we have to talk about a secret weapon, then Thord, who calls himself the ‘young lion’, is our secret weapon. He is an enemy, but he is also the shackles that tie William down.”
He pointed at the sword and said, “Because of the shackles, we have been able to hold on until now…”
Originally, Sif was not a bandit, but a ranger who liked to wander around the kingdom, gambling from time to time, calling it the guidance of fate. When he had enough of wandering, he would return to his hometown of Timaton for a while, and then continue to travel around the kingdom. He lived a very carefree life.
But one day, it was destroyed by the army led by William. Those troops forcibly conscripted soldiers in Timaton, and all the young and strong men in the village were conscripted. They even massacred the entire hometown because of the resistance of the hometown.
When Sifu returned, it was too late. All his former friends and partners had become zombies without any desires. From then on, he became a bandit in the kingdom, specifically targeting these armies.
At the same time, because I have traveled to many places, I know some secrets.
William is indeed the old king’s illegitimate son, but he is also a forbidden child.
It is said that he gained powers at a very young age, but because he has always advocated a country without desires, he was disliked by the old king and has lived in Timaton ever since.
Although the old king did not bring him with him, there was always a man beside him who protected him since he was a child. Because he was afraid of being targeted by those selfish nobles, the warrior had always lived as “William”.
The only people who knew about this were the great noble Tihana and Sif.
Because Thord…he knew him.
When Siver met him, he was still a soldier in the army and a very responsible soldier. Soder was also very powerful at that time. Siver believed that he would become famous sooner or later.
I just didn’t expect it to be this way…
William, the strongest man in the kingdom, is well-known throughout the kingdom.
“I know him. He is a man who values ​​his oaths and is also a gentle man.”
Sifu smiled and said, “I swore to protect people forever, but I couldn’t just sit back and watch the kingdom become a country without desire and be destroyed. Especially after the old king died, the kingdom was divided and a war broke out. On one side was the oath, and on the other side was emotion… It must be tiring to live like this.”
The constraints of the oath forced him to protect William, but the emotional bond made him unwilling to win.
So the situation remained in a stalemate, and a stalemate… until Sag arrived.
“I will fight you. If you win, you will be victorious. If you lose, I will throw your body into the sea.”
Sarge recalled what William said when he first met him, and the inexplicable fatigue he felt during the battle…
I understand. That’s not self-confidence, but expectation. I expect him to be defeated, so that I can fulfill my oath and live up to my emotions.
So Kaido’s final retreat was actually a mistake?
This is really…
“boring.”
Sarge said: “It turns out that he is just a warrior in shackles…”
He walked to the side of the heavy sword, picked up the electric white heavy sword, and threw it to Lily.
Pop.
Lily raised her hand to catch it, a red dot flashed in her pupils, and in shock, she swung the heavy sword to the side.
Sizzle.
Looking at the sparks of electricity leaping out of the blade, Lily understood, “I see, maybe it can be compatible with my white thunder.”
“Lily, I’ll leave this to you. I’m going to Timaton, and…”
He knelt slightly and pointed in the direction of Timaton.
“Bury him.”
He doesn’t like this kind of guy, but he still has the most basic respect for the strong.
Boom!
A smoke ring emerged from the air and disappeared with Sag’s figure.
“Let those who are taking refuge outside come in and distribute the supplies.”
Seeing Sager disappear, Lily thought for a moment and said to everyone, “Also, go find the captain of the guard and ask him to organize the people so that there won’t be any chaos at this time.”
As she spoke, she looked at the mess around her and sighed slightly.
She completed the plan well, but Sager was still unlucky.
Otherwise, we should have gotten an intact Augustinian Castle. This one has been beaten to this point and the damage is too serious.
Such a prosperous city has been destroyed like this. I wonder how long it will take to rebuild it.
There were strings of smoke rings in the sky, and soon, Sag used the Moon Step to cross the sea between the two islands and arrived at Timaton.
Looking down on the island from the air, it is just a very flat plain. The only protrusions are forests and some villages and towns. There is a military camp on a plain near the shore, which can be easily seen.
Boom!
A smoke ring rose from the sky above the camp, revealing the figure of Sager. He bounced on the smoke ring and looked down.
In the camp, groups of soldiers were standing or sitting, each of them had a peaceful look on their faces, without the sharpness that a soldier should have. When they saw someone coming, they just looked up and seemed to have no intention of taking action.
Wood, or…
Zombie!
“Your leader has been defeated by me, Norton Sag, and I am about to rule this country. You have one chance. If you want to step back, farm the land. If you want to live your life, live it. Now… run away!” Sag shouted loudly.
However, no one in the camp below responded. They just looked up, and then one by one raised their weapons and aimed at Sag in the sky.
They understand, but they just don’t have the desire to do so.
There wasn’t even the desire to escape.
A country without desires, without the intervention of external forces, may be peaceful… but it will definitely not be vibrant.
A country without vitality is doomed to perish sooner or later.
“It looks like the decision has been made.”
Sager shook his head, put his left hand on the palm of his right hand, and suddenly raised it to the side and back, with a black flash of domineering power condensed into a ball of black fire in his palm.
He doesn’t have time to persuade or play any governance games here. There are only 50,000 people. If they are wiped out completely, there will be no future troubles!
Sag threw his hand forward, creating an extremely thick pillar of black fire, which cast a huge shadow over the camp.
Destroying the death ray is just a little bit of his evil taste. This move should be called…
“Hao Mian Zhan Kong!”
boom!!!
Since May 29, 1453 in the Haiyuan calendar, when the old king unified Gareth and brought the country to an unprecedented peak, 67 years later, the Kingdom of Gareth fell to the “natural disaster” and no one resisted anymore.
…
“咈咈咈咈!”
Dressrosa, Royal Palace.
Doflamingo was leaning against a chair, his pink feather coat hanging casually on the side, and as his shoulders shook, he let out a creepy laugh.
He was holding a microphone in his hand at this moment, looking at the Den Den Mushi in front of him, with an exaggerated grin on his face.
“You actually won, Sarge!”
The City of World Desire is definitely considered a ‘powerful’ country in the New World. Even during the period of civil unrest, the number of its troops and its strong men would not be underestimated. Not to mention normal pirates, even the powerful Four Emperors would have to think twice before conquering it.
And now, it has been captured by Sag, who has just broken into the new world!
“This is really, really…”
A vein bulged out on Doflamingo’s forehead, and his face looked extremely distorted, with both anger and laughter.
They plundered countries, executed celestial dragons, and now they are directly conquering a country, trampling the royal family and bloodline to the ground. This is really…
“Too arrogant, 咈咈咈咈, hahahaha! Sager, how are you going to govern? It’s not so easy to govern a country. If it’s not recognized, there’s no point in conquering it!”
…
New World, G1 branch.
The complete destruction of Marinford allowed the marines to move into the G1 branch, which served as a temporary headquarters.
Fortunately, that place was not completely destroyed. The foundation still exists, but it is hidden in the sea. If it is to be rebuilt, the foundation must be built under the sea water to rebuild Marinford.
But this will take a lot of time, and until then, they will work in the G1 branch.
In a huge, slightly dim conference room, rows of navy officers sat on chairs, either chewing on cigars or smoking cigarettes. Their slightly arrogant sitting postures were revealed amid the smoke.
If you look closely, none of these naval officers is lower than the rank of major general.
In the front, the ‘meeting king’ Brannew who arrived at G1 together was standing there straight, with a Den Den Mushi placed beside him, his eyes open, radiating images to the screen behind Brannew.
A distant image of the ruined Augustinburgh appeared.
“The Kingdom of Gareth is a large country with a population of over two million. Augustinburg, the city of world desire, has half of the population. Half a year ago, Kaido, the Four Emperors, approached here and left after a fierce battle with William the Young Lion.”
“It is generally believed that William has the strength to fight against the Four Emperors. The king who ruled here died two months ago, and the local nobles and William started a civil war. According to our assessment, it should be the ‘young lion’ who won the final victory…”
Brannew’s tone sank, “But now things have changed. According to the latest intelligence, we have discovered the Scourge Pirates. They killed an army of 150,000 people three days ago, and now they have captured this place!”
These words made the faces of the navy officers collectively darken.
Some marines didn’t care much about the public execution of the Celestial Dragons, they just thought this guy was audacious and a complete lunatic…
But destroying Marinford would be tantamount to trampling on the dignity of the navy, and there was no one who was not angry at the scourge.
Now…it seems this guy has done something even more outrageous.
One hundred and fifty thousand people were all destroyed.
“Therefore, the bounty we proposed previously is no longer appropriate. We must now re-evaluate the danger posed by the Calamity Pirates… Let’s start with the top executives.”
Following Brannew’s words, Den Den Mushi’s eyes emitted light again, and five bounty warrants were issued in front of the ruined Augustinburg, arranged two at the top and three at the bottom.
“Four of the ‘Fifteen Supernovas’ entering Sabaody this time, and a senior officer of the Calamity Pirates.”
The five bounty warrants began to enlarge one by one, starting with the one on the lower left.
“‘Demon’ Akin, the chief combat captain of the Calamity Pirates, is proficient in the Six Styles. His original bounty was 60 million. He participated in the war against the Kingdom of Gareth. Although he is still very young, he will be a threat sooner or later. The bounty has been increased to 120 million.”
Bottom right, Ulki.
“‘Strange Monk’ Urouge, former captain of the ‘Broken Monk Pirates’, current priest of the Calamity Pirates, senior officer, the causal person of the ‘Cause and Effect Fruit’, has the ability to absorb damage and strengthen the body, and his own strength is also a monster, with power that can rival that of a pacifist. The original bounty was 180 million, but after participating in this war, it was increased to 240 million.”
Below center, Hawkins.
“‘Magician’ Basil Hawkins, former captain of the ‘Hawkins Pirates’, current chief of staff of the Calamity Pirates, senior officer, ‘Straw Fruit’ Scarecrow, can use straw dolls to transfer damage, also a dangerous guy, original bounty of 249 million, after participating in the war, it was increased to 320 million.”
After saying that, the bounty on the right above enlarged, revealing a pink-haired little girl with fangs showing and holding a mechanical hammer that fired shells.
“‘Blast Hammer’ Renedia, the foreman of the Calamity Pirates, a senior officer, the master of the ‘Move-Move Fruit’, can manipulate power, and is also a mechanic and inventor. The ships and weapons of this pirate group are basically forged by her. The original bounty was 100 million, and it was increased to 250 million after participating in the war.”
The bounty poster shrank, and then the upper left part was enlarged, showing the smiling woman with black hair blowing in the wind.
“Marika, the chef of the Calamity Pirates, a senior officer, has no fruit, and her original bounty was 120 million. After participating in the war, it has now been increased to 330 million.”
Brannew said: “Based on our assessment and the extreme danger the Calamity Pirates are now in, it is appropriate to give this bounty to these people even though they have no noteworthy achievements.”
Then, he paused, waved his hand and asked the navy to control the Den Den Mushi to remove the bounties, took a deep breath, and said, “Apart from these senior officials, the next ones are some extremely dangerous people.”
In the image released by Den Den Mushi, there was only a bounty warrant that occupied most of the screen. It showed a beautiful and resolute face with shiny wavy blonde hair, leaning against a sea of ​​corpses and blood, holding a sword in one hand under the moonlight.
“‘Sword Princess’ Biondetta Lily, navigator of the Scourge Pirates, senior officer, original bounty of 160 million… We underestimated this woman. According to intelligence, she also possesses the qualities of a hegemon. Not only that, she also possesses an excellent talent for command.”
“In this war against Gareth, she not only defeated the ‘Moonlight Swordsman’ Tihana single-handedly, but also personally commanded a force of 5,000 men to annihilate an army of 100,000! This woman is extremely dangerous, and there will be absolutely no problem in giving her this reward!” Brannew said in a deep voice.
The bounty under that photo… 730 million!
The breathing of the sailors present was momentarily stagnant.
Some people in the New World’s navy had heard of the name ‘Moonlight Swordsman’ Tihana. She was a powerful and elegant female swordsman, and had some fame on the sea.
Defeating this woman was already quite impressive, but what was truly shocking was the record of using only 5,000 people to annihilate 100,000 people!
Command and tactics are also important at sea.
Their Lieutenant General Kong Ming and Tina, who has now been promoted to brigadier general, are both proficient in this area.
Five thousand annihilated one hundred thousand people…
Not to mention thinking about it, you can’t even dream of such an achievement!
Three days… no, it took one day for the news to arrive here, which means it only took two days. Even if there were 100,000 pigs, it would be difficult to kill them all in two days, right?
For a moment, the navy’s eyes became sharp, and they looked at the bounty order of Lily solemnly.
“Next, it’s the second dangerous person.”
Lily’s bounty was reduced and withdrawn, but the enlarged bounty order that followed made some sailors stand up in shock.
“Moria?!”
It was a relatively old photo, showing Moria standing in front of an ancient castle with his arms outstretched and smiling, with his face occupying two-thirds of the photo.
“‘Shadow Mage’ Gekko Moriah, former captain of the ‘Thriller Bark Pirates’ and former Shichibukai. According to intelligence, after the Battle of Marineford, he abandoned his position as Shichibukai and joined the Calamity Pirates as a senior officer, and also participated in the war.”
“There’s no need to explain how dangerous he is. The original bounty of 320 million Baileys has been raised to… 1 billion!”
One billion berries is not considered a high reward for a Shichibukai who has a new bounty. This is because he has not yet demonstrated his achievements as a pirate again, so it is difficult for the navy to assess his performance. In the future, the reward will probably be higher.
The navy officers certainly had no objection, as they were aware of the reputation and strength of the Seven Warlords of the Sea.
“But even Moria is now succumbing to that man…”
Brannew’s deep and deep voice sounded, and the bounty order for Moria on the screen was removed, revealing a photo that made all the navy grit their teeth. However, if you look closely, you will find that some people still have a hint of fear in their eyes.
It was the same photo as the previous one, with a ruined castle surrounded by flames, and a man with white hair and a wanton smile, holding a gun in one hand and gold coins in the other!
“Three days ago, they invaded the Kingdom of Gareth, not only destroying the prosperous Augustinburg, but also fighting with William. After a day, they defeated and killed the ‘young lion’, and then broke into the secondary island of Timaton, killing 50,000 people, plus executions…”
Brannew pursed his lips and did not utter the three words “Celestial Dragons”, but those who understood understood from this pause.
He continued, “In addition to the destruction of the Marine Headquarters, Marinford, since setting sail, wherever they go, no matter if it is a member country or a non-member country, they have destroyed everything. This is a true natural disaster!”
“Captain of the ‘Natural Disaster Pirates’, ‘Natural Disaster’ Norton Sagger! The original bounty of 600 million has been increased to… 1.8 billion berries!”
