Chapter 609: The Five Elder Stars Special Forces are here!
Sag didn't care whether Marijoa could be destroyed or not. It didn't matter if the admirals of the navy or the Five Elders came to stop him. It didn't matter if he couldn't destroy Marijoa, but the aftermath of the battle would definitely destroy the dragons living there.
Having a base has both advantages and disadvantages. The advantage is that it can develop stably and enhance power, but the disadvantage is that it has a fixed weakness, and once it is hit, everything is over.
But the problem is that Sag is not afraid of coming again. At worst, he will just rebuild. If everything is destroyed, he will plunge into the wider world and start all over again!
If he hadn't had enough strength back then, he wouldn't even have come to the Grand Line. Now that he has enough strength and a good team, it's more cost-effective to start his own business in the Four Seas.
He could afford the cost, but the Celestial Dragons obviously could not.
“Doesn’t that make sense?”
Satan narrowed his eyes slightly, and the spider legs in the lower body suddenly turned into afterimages and fell forward. At the same time, he stared forward, and a unique sense of restraint and oppression filled everyone present.
Renetia paused, Moriah's pupils constricted, and Vegapunk was suppressed and unable to move.
And the falling spider legs like long hair were piercing into Vegapunk from above, trying to pierce him through.
But at this moment, a black and red flash of light rushed out from below, engulfing the spider leg. Then a whirlwind was stirred up in the black and red flash, blowing towards Satan's huge body.
The whirlwind stopped for a moment, revealing Sag's body, which was spinning at high speed and then stopped, just in time to kick Satan hard in the face.
boom! !
Satan's huge body flew away, crashing into a large number of buildings behind it, all the way to the edge of the coast, where it smashed a warship docked on the shore and stirred up a huge cloud of dust.
"Satan Saint!"
Many navy soldiers screamed, but some of them did not dare to move, because they were very familiar with the guy in the air and he was not someone they could deal with at their level.
Some stubborn ones didn't care about anything else and just raised their guns, aimed at the figure in the air and pulled the trigger.
Bang bang bang!
The lead bullets were fired with great force, all hitting Sage's body, but not even a spark was created.
In this form, a mere lead bullet, wrapped in domineering aura, cannot cause any harm to Sage.
"You guys are really annoying."
In mid-air, Sag's mouth curled up with a hint of disdain. He bounced his legs in the air, stretched out one hand with five fingers spread out, and with just a wave of his hand, a gust of black wind came down fiercely.
A domineering horizontal swing!
The navy covered by the 'black wind' first froze in their movements, and then their bodies suddenly expanded and exploded into balls of blood mist.
Compared to when he escaped from Impel Down, Sager's domineering strength is completely different!
A group of navy men right in front of Sag were all blown into a bloody mist. Their blood spread all over the ground, and the surrounding navy men were frightened and retreated.
"No one is allowed to retreat, attack! Attack!"
Doberman, who was commanding nearby and leading the warships to surround the pirates, raised his blade and shouted at the people around him: "How can the navy retreat when fighting pirates? Can you still be considered a navy if you are like this!"
After saying that, he chopped down a marine who was running away from him with his sword, "No one is allowed to retreat, go up and consume him! Even the Four Emperors can't remain unscathed under so many attacks!"
This is true!
On the sea, there is no possibility of overwhelming everything with sheer strength. Even if a hundred thousand elite navy soldiers attack together, even the emperor of the sea will have to retreat. In this sea, there is still the possibility that an elephant will be killed by an ant in large numbers.
Just like in the Battle of Marineford, Whitebeard, as one of the Four Emperors, would be slashed or shot by some navy officers when he was attacked by a group.
Even if it's just a little bit, as long as it causes damage, that's enough, and sooner or later it can grind a person to death.
"Doberman?"
Sager used the Moon Step to bounce in the air again and grinned at him:
"It's been a long time since we last met. You should be aware of the gap between us. Are you sacrificing lives like this to show off in front of the master? Why? No matter how well you perform, you won't be promoted to general. You're not strong enough."
"Shut up! The Five Elders are the most noble people in the world and the maintainers of order. How can we allow you to defile them? Our navy will not let you defile Saint Satan! We will eliminate you, the most evil person in history, here today!"
Dauberman pointed the knife at Sage with a ferocious look on his face.
There is no sense of intrigue and deceit among the navy officers who have reached the level of vice admiral, or in other words, elite vice admiral like Doberman, there are ruthless ones and kind-hearted ones, but there is absolutely no one with weak will. Most of them have great confidence in their own justice.
Sometimes willpower alone is useless.
Sager raised one hand, gathering his domineering power, and was about to send Doberman off, when at that moment, the smoke beside the warship dissipated and Satan's deep voice was heard.
"That's enough. Everyone, retreat. Everyone, return to the warships and issue the Demon Slayer Order. Everything on the island must be destroyed."
Satan's body was covered with smoke like black flames. A piece of his spider leg and the wound on his face were healing quickly under the black smoke. His huge body looked straight at Sag who was bouncing in the air.
"Well, since we are going to be enemies, I will let you die here today. It's such a pity. A hero like you has actually made a lot of contributions to the balance of the world. When you die, the new world will be in chaos again."
What Sage did was intolerable in the eyes of the World Government. He killed kings, killed Celestial Dragons, and robbed without scruples. Even though he now has territory, he is still forcing the kings of the member countries to compromise.
But in the eyes of the Five Elders, they are part of the balance of the world.
No matter what he does, as long as he does not shake the foundation, no one will care. Not to mention that he has now apparently unified the first half of the New World, even if he is the only emperor of the sea in the New World, so what?
The Vinsmoke family conquered the North Sea a long time ago.
After all, it is a part of history and does not affect stability.
Of course, it was also because Sage was strong enough that to deal with him, one would have to pay an unbearable price, which was why it had been delayed until now.
But if you really want to die, then it's not impossible to pay some price.
Even if it means letting them all reach the ground and having a battle that would be very undignified for them.
"Demon-slaying order?"
Vegapunk suddenly said, "Are you going to destroy this island?! Satan, this is the culmination of technology! If you destroy it, the world's technology will regress by at least a hundred years!"
"We are not interested in progress, Vegapunk, only in balance and stability."
Sartan looked at Vegapunk, "I am also a scientist. Whether I am progressive or not makes no difference to the people on the sea."
"Hahahaha, that's pretty much what I guessed. That's the kind of people you are."
Sarge laughed, "Hey! Old man, the world government won't use you, but I can. I don't need you to make any powerful weapons. If you can improve people's livelihood, my O'Hara will be at your disposal!"
"For me, those are the steps to my desire! Follow me, I will take you back to O'Hara! It's just an island. When you get there, I will give you my royal city!" "O'Hara, the city of desire in the world?"
Upon hearing this, Vegapunk actually started to think seriously about it.
He is a very smart man. Although he is a little emotional, he is also very rational, so he is not so shy.
Since Egghead can no longer be saved and the World Government is determined to destroy him, it is not impossible to consider moving to another place.
The Calamity Pirates are very powerful, allowing him to conduct research with peace of mind, but...
"If this happens, many people will die."
Vegapunk pursed his lips and shook his head, saying, "If the lives on the sea die just because of me, that would be too..."
"Don't be so naive!"
Sager's shout interrupted his conversation. He pointed at Satan in the air and said with a grim smile:
"People are dying in the sea all the time. What can you do? Do you think that if you die, you can let the people in the sea live? You are not qualified! Look at them, look at these people, they are the same as us. They can easily destroy an island for the sake of ruling. While satisfying the preferences of the Celestial Dragons, they can expand the sphere of influence of the World Government and have countless 'Valleys of God'. Whether you die or not, people are dying in the sea!"
"Then why not use your own strengths to your advantage and leave something for the world!"
Sager raised his thumb and pointed at himself. "Like me, everyone knows that the life span of a normal human is only a hundred years. The powerful ones can live for more than a hundred years, but they will still die in the end. But before I die, I can leave a mark on this world according to my own wishes! That will never be erased. My spirit will always exist in the hearts of everyone in my territory!"
“To some extent.”
Sarge looked at Satan and said, "I can live longer than you!"
Will can be inherited, which is even more fascinating than the inheritance of lifespan.
Just like what Sag is doing now, isn’t that also a kind of inheritance of will?
liberation?
Exploitation?
He is not very interested in these propositions. What he uses is just to ensure a stable and lasting win-win situation while maximizing his own interests.
A win-win situation that will be remembered for generations to come!
"Yeah."
Vegapunk was stunned for a moment, then shook his head and smiled.
He has studied natural disasters, or rather, he has studied every sea emperor.
In addition to exploring history and the inevitability of the emergence of pirates, we also want to use these things to understand what these great pirates really want.
Including Roger.
What the Pirate King wanted was the simplest adventure. He, who possessed the ability to "listen to the voices of all things", left behind the key to uncover the world at the end of his life.
Rocks wants to rule the world.
Later on, Whitebeard is a relatively pure pirate. Because of his experiences in his youth, he just wants a safe, happy and peaceful paradise where his family will not be bullied and can be protected.
Big·Mom wants to create a country where all races live together as a republic, where everyone sits at the table equally and eats together.
Kaido is resentful of the nobles' inherent sanctity and wants to bring them down through force and war, and re-establish his status through fighting.
And red hair seems to be for some kind of mission.
Marshall D. Teach inherited Rocks' ambition, and today's Cross Guild is a gathering together for a common goal.
And natural disasters.
Everything he did in O'Hara was actually worthy of praise. Although he was just a pirate, the country he created allowed people to live and work in peace and contentment, and it had the greatest vitality on the sea.
It’s not about technology, it’s about people’s hearts.
Apart from anything else, everyone who works under him knows that they need to be paid for their work, have holidays, and enjoy life.
Those who start businesses under him also know to pay taxes and be responsible to those who create profits for them!
Even if Sag dies one day, one day, a guy with the same will and strength as him will stand up and create another Calamity Pirates and another O'Hara!
He really left something different in the world.
Such an insightful pirate is worthy of being from Scholar's Island.
"Hey"
Vegapunk sighed, made up his mind, and patted the apple on his head. "Originally, I thought that after I died, this matter could be made public. I think the world needs the truth. I want them all to know. Now, it doesn't matter whether they live or die. Ieghead should not be able to stay."
The moment the photo was taken, it seemed as if a switch had been activated, causing a huge virtual screen to appear above the clouds, showing the video.
"Hello everyone."
Vegapunk in the video smiled and greeted, "Anyway, when this video comes out, either I'm dead or something else unexpected happens, and the result is not good. I'm Vegapunk, a scientist, and now I want to introduce to you the world we live in now, and the history of the ocean."
"This video will be broadcasted from naval bases around the world. Those who have Den Den Mushi can watch the video, but if you don't have one, just listen to the broadcast."
"Vegapunk!"
Sartan yelled, "What are you going to do!"
"I just want people to know the truth. You don't need to be afraid. I don't deny your legitimacy. In fact, you who have order should not be afraid of this. The World Government has contributed to the ocean. Justice and evil are not important to me. What is important is the truth."
As Vegapunk spoke, the video above obviously sped up.
Perhaps because he was still alive, some of the foreshadowing was not necessary, so the story went straight to the narration part.
"First of all, I don't think anyone in the ocean can be called 'good' or 'evil' because it is meaningless. Everyone has a stance and everyone has a goal that they consider to be just in their hearts. So it's not about good or evil. Maybe everyone has his own reasons."
"What I want to say is the conclusion first. This world will sink into the sea!"
"Vegapunk!!"
Satan's eyes widened, and black smoke around him came out in all directions. Near him, four huge black pentagrams exactly the same as the one he had come from appeared, and inside the pentagram, a huge black shadow condensed.
"Oh?"
Sager rode on a black cloud, staring at the things that gradually revealed their shapes with interest, and said, "All five of them are here, the Five Elders."
