"It's so noisy."
Sager stretched out his pinky finger to pick at his ear. "Such a heavy rainstorm can't cover your loud voice? Is the navy so spirited? Is it true that if the voice is too quiet, the warship cannot be operated?"
"Answer me, Norton Sager!" the lieutenant colonel continued to roar.
"I'm a pirate, what can I do here?"
Sager rolled his eyes, "Of course they're here to rob, are they here to do charity?!"
"You have committed so many crimes, how dare you hang around in the East China Sea? Reinforcements will arrive soon. Even if it's you, you can't deal with so many navy ships!"
"If I were afraid of that kind of thing, why would I be a pirate?" Sager sneered.
Afraid of reinforcements? Afraid of encirclement and suppression?
Afraid of this and that, he would not take those who want to start businesses overseas, and they would just die in poverty in their hometown.
He was so unlucky that every time he recruited a subordinate he would run into Garp. It was not surprising to him how unlucky he was. Basically, he did not rely on luck and could accept anything that happened in Rogue Town.
But no matter how unlucky you are, there should be some basic rules, right?
Being unlucky is not the same as committing suicide, and Sager is not stupid, so he can tell the difference.
What happened to Garp was purely an accident. After they evacuated, the old man did not chase them. Instead, he saw the news of "Navy Heroes Climbing Upside-Down Mountain" in the newspaper.
This means that the navy has not taken him, a "small pirate" with a bounty of less than 100 million, seriously.
After all, there are so many pirates in the sea, what is he now?
If Garp doesn't come to catch him, will the admiral take time to fly to the East China Sea, and then accurately know that he will arrive in Rogue Town and wait here to catch him?
That's not bad luck, that's the fucking madness of the Navy Headquarters and the World Government.
They let so many pirates go and instead of catching them, they came to catch me. Isn't that crazy?
Even robbing gold from the sky doesn't get this kind of treatment!
If he is really that unlucky, he won't even have the chance to go out to sea, let alone get a single harvest from farming. He might as well be struck to death by lightning.
But since it hasn't come to this, what is he afraid of?
If he is afraid, he won't be able to get the money. Only if he is not afraid can he get rich.
Sager has thought this through clearly. What he is best at is making plans. Bad luck can be overcome with careful enough plans and strong enough strength.
For example, the Death Star is a ship that is strong enough to withstand wind and waves and sail smoothly. Without this ship, he would have capsized eight hundred times on the sea.
He knew that there was a natural navy garrison in a place like Rogue Town, but he had forgotten its name. Later, after being reminded by Ajin, he remembered that it was the old smoker named Smoker.
But it doesn't matter what he's called; what's important is Sager himself.
If he didn't have the domineering power, he wouldn't come here for supplies and would think of other plans to enter the Grand Line.
Without Haki, he wouldn't know how to control the smoke. Even if he could complete the robbery plan in the end, his subordinates wouldn't be able to do so.
But he had learned to be domineering, so of course he didn't care. Choosing the nearest Rogue Town was the most convenient thing.
What's more, Smoker is gone, and for him, the last existence that could cause trouble is also gone. With such a big piece of fat meat in front of him, why not grab it?
"Hey! Norton Sager!"
Just as Sager was about to take action, a tall man blocked his way. The man held a huge axe, glared at him fiercely, and shouted: "Even if you have a reputation, why did you overturn my boat?!"
Sager raised his head and looked at the man who was less than three meters tall. After thinking for a moment, he said, "'Big Axe Blade' Pabala, the bounty is 11 million Baileys?"
Sag still remembered the pirates with bounties, after all, he had been a bounty hunter for a period of time.
"Yes, I am Pabala!"
Pabala gritted his teeth and said, "Why did you sink my ship? Don't think that I will be afraid of you just because your reward is high. You have to give me an explanation!"
"Confess?"
Sager took the umbrella from Lily and said with a smile, "Okay."
Clang!
A flash of cold light flashed from the chest of the tall man, and with a hiss, blood spurted into the sky. The tall body fell to the ground, and his eyes rolled back.
Lily put away her rapier, took the umbrella again, and held it for Sag from behind.
Sager looked at Pabala's fallen body and said, "Your ship blocked my docking place, just like you blocked my road, so we need to remove the obstacle, it's that simple."
"I won't let you in!"
When the lieutenant colonel saw Pabala fall, his pupils shrank. Even the storm could not hide the sweat on his face. He gritted his teeth and said firmly: "Letting you go in will be a disaster for the citizens!"
"oh."
Sager responded calmly, and his pupils flashed a scarlet light.
Buzz!
Immediately, the battlefield, which had already become quiet due to Sager's sudden appearance, became even quieter. Even the strong wind and heavy rain seemed to be still at this moment, losing their sound.
Plop.
A team of navy and pirates who were fighting each other rolled their eyes and fell down. As if a chain reaction had started, the navy and pirates in the streets leading from the port to the town all fell down without exception, including the lieutenant colonel of the branch who wanted to resist. Not a single one was left, and they all lay on the ground.
Renetia shouted excitedly: "This is the power of the overlord of the sea!"
Sager shook his head: "I don't mind fighting them, but it would be unfair to my men without weapons."
Behind him, his men were grinning ferociously, and were ready to fight even though they were unarmed.
Those who came down from the Bridge Kingdom were all determined people. Since they had decided to follow Sager as pirates, they would not be easily intimidated by the navy.
They were prepared to fight these navy and pirates together.
"Young men, it's up to you to decide how to grab the goods next!"
Sager took out the exquisite flintlock rifle from his waist and said with a smile: "I won't say much about the rules. I have said it many times when I was on the ship. I don't need subordinates who don't obey my orders!"
His rules were simple: first, don't rob the poor.
Pirates are also poor people. There is nothing to rob between poor people. They are all equally miserable. They can't make any money even if they work hard. It is better to rob rich businessmen.
Unless someone is blind enough to resist and meddle.
Second, don't force yourself on women.
They are pirates, not beasts who become lustful when they see a woman.
If you want women, there are related industries in Rogue Town. Just get the money and go find those people.
As a pirate, Sager is the freest creature on the sea. He can do whatever he wants. Similarly, he doesn't have to do anything he doesn't want to do.
In fact, apart from the first point which is controversial on the sea, almost no pirates would do the second point.
Just like what a certain pirate emperor said, on this sea, even pirates have to be kind and righteous!
Pirates are also human beings, and they can be human beings, they are not animals, why do they give up their human duties and do things that even animals may not do?
After all, the beast still knows to ask for mercy.
Apart from these two points, Sager has nothing to dislike or taboo. As a pirate, he is also very dedicated.
Bang!
The trigger was pulled, the flintlock smoke came out, and Sage stepped over the prostrate men and shouted, "Robbery, boys!"
"oh!!"
More than 600 pirates rushed into the streets. Those who didn't have weapons picked up the weapons dropped by the navy and pirates, rushed into the port alleys, and ran wildly into the bustling town streets.
The wonderful spoils of war are waving to them!
