Chapter 30: I Have a Plan!

Chapter 30: I Have a Plan!

Sag didn't know Busoshoku (Armament) or Kenbunshoku (Observation) Haki. Those were things cultivated after birth; he hadn't yet grasped the triggering of willpower.

But he did know Haoshoku (Conqueror's) Haki, something that perhaps only one in several million possessed, an inborn talent.

This talent, Sag had had since childhood.

Haki itself was unrelated to physical prowess; it was the power of will, and Haoshoku Haki was even more so. No matter how powerful Sag's martial arts skills were, this Haoshoku Haki was indeed troublesome to control.

Up to now, his Haoshoku Haki couldn't be released accurately at multiple people. He could only face one direction, and even people nearby would be affected. Let alone precise targeting of individuals.

"This is...what?"

Lily stared blankly at the soldiers collapsing all over the mountainside, murmuring her question.

It was incomprehensible. Were these soldiers all weak-kneed?

That wasn't it. She could feel the soldiers' obvious excitement the moment before, but Sag just went out and took a look, and they fainted, as if they had suffered some great mental shock.

It wasn't just her; the other pirates also couldn't understand it. They were all gaping, cold sweat streaming down.

The captain was certainly very strong, but they had seen this kind of strength in other people before. It was nothing more than a little stronger. But no matter how strong it was, they could accept it and praise the captain's power.

But this unheard-of scene, their first reaction wasn't respect and admiration, but fear...

Such a man... was he really human?

"A Conqueror!"

Renettia's words caught everyone's attention. She exclaimed, "You're actually a Conqueror?"

Gin said, "Captain Sag defeated Krieg, so of course he's the new overlord of the East Blue."

"It's not that kind of weird thing, don't talk nonsense if you don't know what you are talking about, monkey!"

Renettia rolled her eyes at Gin. "My master once told me that there is a kind of person in the sea, one in millions, a born king. These people are natural conquerors, possessing a powerful aura that others don't have. They can intimidate enemies with just their aura. Your captain, is a conqueror of pirates..."

"A conqueror of pirates... what kind of existence would that be?" Gin swallowed, his eyes full of excitement and anticipation.

"Hmm..."

Renettia thought for a moment, her tone solemn, and nodded vigorously. "Still a pirate!"

Everyone: "..."

"Don't just stand there, go loot the treasure."

Sag finished glaring at the soldiers, turned around and walked over, laughing loudly. "Hahaha, no one can stop me anymore! Everything in this castle belongs to me! Pearl, move that throne. In the new captain's room, I want to see this thing!"

"Yes! Captain!" Pearl, startled, quickly went to move the throne that had been blown to the corner of the wall.

The rest of the people also began to loot the treasure in this castle. Compared to the town mayor they had robbed before, as a king, there were of course many things in the treasure vault, especially since this group of Black Sail pirates had also robbed many towns.

Except for the materials Renettia needed, the towns were mainly destroyed because of the robbery of property. This part of the money was of course not in her hands, but was collected in the treasure vault.

And now, it was all Sag's.

Piles of gold coins, ornaments made of gold, jewelry, precious coral... piled together almost formed a small hill, and the golden light made Sag's eyes shine.

He clutched a handful of gold coins, and his right hand also picked up a jeweled flintlock pistol, walked out of the castle, looked at the starry night sky, and grinned.

"Haha, hahahaha!"

"Sag, are you happy? We should get on the ship," Lily walked over and said.

"Of course! Lily, this is all mine, mine!"

Sag carelessly let a few gold coins from his palm slip to the ground. Of course he loved money, but he wasn't a miser. On the contrary, he was also very generous.

With so much treasure, dropping a few gold coins made him look even more wealthy.

He laughed for a while, then said to Lily, "I have a plan!"

He followed the top of this highest island, looking down at the slope. On both sides of the slope, you could see a large number of buildings, villages connected to each other, and you could even see several large towns.

"The wealth of a kingdom, one part is in the hands of all the commoners, and the other is on the king's head. Robbing all the commoners is time-consuming and labor-intensive. Robbing the king... just kill him, it's simple."

Sag laughed. "My plan is to rob all the kings along the way, all the way to the New World!"

Anyway, the Marines had already put the blame on him, so it wasn't like he was taking the blame for nothing. The materials he robbed were turned into ships, and the treasure he robbed was in his hands, so he might as well just keep doing it.

Robbing all the kings along the way, he could have a lot of wealth. Then run to the New World, and even the World Government couldn't control him. This money would be his start-up capital to become a landlord!

This was a good path!

It was more profitable than robbing merchant ships. As for the risk... there was no risk-free business. Compared to the risk, he was more afraid of not succeeding.

But this matter couldn't be rushed. Without enough strength, some things still couldn't be done.

Sag was very clear about this. Plans weren't made in one fell swoop; they were done step by step.

If he could rob a pile of treasure today, he could rob the treasure of the whole world tomorrow. If he could rob kings today, he could become the Pirate King tomorrow!

Robbing all the way, mastering Haki, then going to the New World, occupying a lot of territory to become a landlord, and then becoming the top of the pirate industry!

Like 'Beasts' and 'Big Mom', self-proclaimed kingdoms, so they would have a lot of territory and subordinates.

What?

Weren't pirates all like this?

Of course!

Sag was a pirate. To fulfill his dream, this was the only path he could take.

If he didn't take this path, should he go on adventures, a hard and bitter life? After so many battles, the most valuable thing about a pirate crew wasn't their treasure, it was their respective bounties...

Sag also didn't have the luck to find any treasures. It wasn't like he hadn't been a treasure hunter. Let alone treasures, he couldn't even find a treasure chest.

Only this traditional pirate path was suitable for him.

Tradition meant no mistakes!

What Sag wanted now was no mistakes!

"Sag... something's coming."

While Sag was still laughing wildly, Lily looked at the sea below the slope. Under the starry sky, the sea had turned black. But in this darkness, outlines of ships emitting light were approaching.

Marine warships!

Looting treasure also took time, especially since Sag was a meticulous person. He insisted on searching the castle up and down. The thirty-odd pirates almost scraped the gold foil off the lamps and took it away.

The surrounding fire and the sound of cannon fire just now must have attracted the attention of nearby people. Reporting to the Marines was inevitable.

"Let's go."

Sag clutched the gold coins and walked with Lily to the outside of the castle. There, the huge black ship stood on the ground.

Saying it was a black ship now seemed a little wrong. In the dark night, the surface of the ship actually reflected the starry sky, as if the ship had sunk into the starry sky.

It was a three-masted sailing ship, so large that the thirty-odd pirates inside were like nothing. The warships of the East Blue were completely incomparable to the scale and size of this ship.

"Here we go!"

Renettia stood beside the ship and waved to them. "Hurry up! Don't worry about going down. We'll just slide down the slope and then set sail! Those warships can't catch up with this ship. I've also built a power system into the ship, even ordinary people can operate it, and the speed can be even faster, so they won't be able to catch up!"

"Very good!"

Sag laughed and ruffled Renettia's hair, following the stairs extending from the side of the ship to the deck.

"There's no figurehead yet. I'll change it later and make my own figurehead."

He stood at the bow, looked ahead for a while, waved his hand, and shouted, "Set sail!"

"OK!"

Renettia grinned, revealing her small tiger teeth, and pressed her hand on the deck. "Dynamic Impact!"

*Boom!*

The ship received no thrust, but it automatically slid on the ground until it reached the slope. The whole ship slid down the ground at high speed. The hard ironwood completely ignored the bumps along the way, and rushed all the way to the harbor below the slope, leaping into the air.

The starry sky under the black ship and the starry sky in the sky reflected each other, blending with the starry sky. It directly passed the large number of warships gradually approaching the port, and descended to the sea behind the warships, creating a huge splash.

The ship was hidden in the splash. When the splash fell, it was already far away from the warships, not even giving the warships a chance to turn around.
