Chapter 496 Integration
Under the gloomy sky there were storms and rain.
In the rain curtain, a huge dark ship sailed smoothly without fear of the strong wind. A large number of whirlpools also appeared in the sea area where the ship passed.
Boom!
Thunder exploded, and several thunderbolts fell, hitting the ship's buildings, decks, and masts, and illuminating the empty ship.
The banquet hall on the first floor was still noisy, with most pirates gathering here to drink and have fun.
Every time they go on a voyage, even if Lord Sarge doesn't come here, they will still have a banquet here. Lady Renedia's shipbuilding technology can completely soundproof the second floor. No matter what happens below, Sarge will not let them go. Master Ge heard it.
Sifu, who was drinking, turned to look at Thunder outside the window and sighed:
"No matter how you look at it, it's shocking. There are indeed many miracles on the sea. Right, Misty."
Sitting across from him was Misty, the 'Wind Chaser General', one of the original Gareth duo who had boarded the boat with him this time and was preparing to go to Gulan Tezolo.
She picked up the juice cocktail in front of her, took a sip, and then said: "I heard Lady Renedia say that this is not a miracle, this is just bad luck."
Sifu shrugged and said with a smile: "It's a miracle that you are so unlucky."
Misty was noncommittal and just sipped her wine.
As the two people whose first bounty reached 300 million beli, they have now joined the pirate group.
"Hey, Buffalo, do a spin!"
"Yes, yes, spin!"
"Delinger, Delinger, don't wear any girly clothes, you are a man! Take off your clothes and put on a pirate costume!"
While Sif was looking at the thunder and lightning falling outside the window, there was more noise in the center of the banquet hall, and some pirates gathered around the two men, making noises there.
The fat man among them had a head that was like a propeller, spinning together with his body, causing many people to laugh.
There was also a group of people tearing off the clothes of the guy with horns.
They lifted his hat to expose his horns, tore his clothes to reveal the fins on his back, and forcibly took off his hot pants.
"Hey, don't touch me! This is my costume, I'm used to it a long time ago! You can't do this!"
The guy with horns and fins was still drunk at first and didn't resist much, but he was about to be changed into clothes. He woke up again and quickly kicked the group of pirates over and jumped to the back. , yelled viciously:
"Is this disrespecting freedom? Pirates are free, or are you discriminating against half-fish people?!"
"Half-murloc?"
Misty looked over and asked doubtfully: "What's that?"
She is not the kind of person who likes to gossip. Except for the pirates who invaded at the beginning, she doesn't know anyone else in the Calamity Pirates, nor is she interested in getting to know them.
"Yeah, he's a kind of fish-man. There's no difference in my opinion, but he doesn't seem to be liked by fish-men, and he wasn't liked by humans before. He's quite a pitiful child."
Silver thought for a moment and said, "His name is Dellinger, and the spinning guy's name is Buffalo. They are both new recruits from Dressrosa."
"This time, several of them also came together. The green-haired duo who are said to be the little girl is the elder sister and the eldest sister is the younger sister. Sugar and Monet. The little one is playing with Lady Renedia. The green-haired duo are playing together. The big hairy sister works as a secretary for Lord Sage.”
"The one who wears a maid outfit and can't seem to refuse requests from others is called Baby-5. You saw Sag when he showed up during the day, right next to B'Elanna."
"She joined the maid corps and seems to have high hopes from the head maid B'Elanna. She was trained as the deputy head maid. She is also correcting her character of being unable to refuse other people's requests. I heard that she can change it to being unable to refuse Lord Sager's requests."
As Sif was talking, there started to be noisy again. A group of people were not afraid of being attacked by Delinger. They chased him with the most orthodox pirate costumes. Even if they were kicked heavily, they still did not give up. After falling, he stood up laughing and chased.
As for pirates, there is no one who is not injured.
Just a small fight.
"You guys!"
Dellinger, who was being chased, seemed to be really angry. After kicking away a drunken pirate, his eyes suddenly turned red. He suddenly lowered his body and pointed his horn at the throat of the oncoming man. About to charge over.
Once it becomes solid, I am afraid that I will die on the spot.
Just when he made the move, Sif moved and turned into an afterimage, appearing in front of Delinger. At the same time, he pulled out the blade from the waist of the pirate next to him with one hand. After a while, it softened and fluttered, The blade turned into an iron rod, and the rod hit Delinger on the chest, pushing him to the ground.
"A man should behave like a man. What if he doesn't look like a man or a woman?"
Sif shouted to him: "Boy, accept the transformation obediently, otherwise, you will have a hard time later."
In fact, he doesn't care about these things, but the key point is that he actually knows Sager's temperament. Although he has been aloof for the past two years, when it comes to inquiring about information, he is much better than Misty, who is in a daze except when patrolling. Much more.
There are some weird-looking guys in the Calamity Pirates, but they are basically due to their appearance. But which guy is neither male nor female?
It's a good thing that Sage didn't notice. Of course, he usually wouldn't look down. But if it really makes him uncomfortable and he doesn't change it, even if he doesn't move, the 'devil agents' underneath him will We need to take action.
A cadre like Delinger, who is not considered a minions, will be noticed sooner or later. It is 100% unacceptable to attack an accomplice over a disagreement.
"You guy. You are also a newcomer. I joined earlier than you. Don't talk to me like a senior!" Delinger shouted in dissatisfaction.
But the struggling body softened, allowing the drunken men to put the pirate costume on him, turning a guy who was somewhat gender-neutral into a heroic, half-fish-man young man.
"Am I new?"
Silver was amused, and he pointed at a pirate and said, "Who am I?"
"Lord Sif, stop joking."
The pirate smiled and said: "I was anxious at night and found an alley to urinate, and you discovered me. You whipped me several times and put me in solitary confinement for three days."
"You heard me, I'm just a newbie as a pirate, but from the perspective of being under Sage's rule, I'm a serious veteran."
Sifu pointed at himself with his thumb, and was about to say the word 'old senior' when his face suddenly darkened, he knelt down, put his hands on the ground, and said depressedly:
"I'm an old trash fish and it's really a shame that I'm still alive and wasting food as a trash fish."
In addition, the people around him all knelt down at this time, and they were all depressed.
Even Dellinger, who was still a little angry after being forced to change his shirt, fell to his knees, beat the deck, and cried:
"As a half-fish man, I really feel sorry for the sea. If possible, I would like to be a grass carp." "It's so noisy!"
In the banquet hall, a pink-haired Gothic-style woman appeared floating at low altitude, "If there's a party, let's have a party. Fighting is the noisiest thing! Please reflect on this!"
Beside her, a group of transparent cloth-like things, like contract ghosts, suddenly sprang out and continued to pass through their bodies, making everyone, including Sif, even more depressed.
"Ghost girl?"
Misty looked over, nodded and said, "Hello."
"My name is Perona, don't give people random nicknames."
Perona hummed softly, floated to the opposite side of Misty, and sat where Sif was sitting before.
The two looked at each other. Misty picked up the wine bottle, picked up a new cup from the table and poured her a glass. After the latter took it, she also took a sip, and then smiled.
The two looked at each other again and let out a long sigh of relief.
"It's quiet," Misty said. "I like silence very much."
"I'm okay, just don't make too much noise." Perona said.
The two women are both the kind of people who like to be quiet but don't like to be active. One likes to stay at home and the other likes peace and quiet. They happen to not be very familiar with the people around them. It is considered a coincidence that they have met each other now, and they both feel good.
Since Perona said goodbye to Hawkeye last time, she found Moria and joined the Calamity Pirates. However, she is also a home girl herself. She likes to stay in the castle and admire her dilapidated gloom. Wind doll.
So Sagar knew she was coming, but never saw her.
He can't go to Soejima in person to meet this woman, right?
Isn’t that rebellion against Tiangang?
It happened that this time we were going to Gulan Tezzolo. Moria felt that it was not a problem for Perona to stay like this all the time, so she took her out and joined Sage's robbery tour.
As for himself.
Not that interested.
This time, in addition to Sage himself and the three female cadres who had been with the ship, those who went to Gulan Tezoro also found a group of new cadres who wanted to gain experience and see the world. .
Mainly because other people are either not interested or unavailable.
Hawkins and Urqui have both. They have little interest in entertainment cities, and they are both extremely busy.
He had to take over and rebuild the new site. A group of dessert buildings in Totland did not conform to Sager's aesthetics and were not practical.
Who eats sweets all day long?
The residents of Totland are also refugees from the outside world. They are not local aborigines, and they do not like to eat sweets. It is purely because Totland only has sweets, and Big Mom only eats sweets.
Sage's appetite is not limited to sweets, so people under his rule cannot only eat sweets.
Therefore, the food needs to be replaced, the buildings need to be demolished, and turned into prosperous buildings and skyscrapers in line with the style of the Natural Disaster Pirates, as well as factories adapted to local conditions.
The thirty-four islands in Totland's direct territory have all changed their landforms with great force, and they have all become islands suitable for some kind of dessert food.
Such as Nut Island, Candy Island, Cocoa Island.
Everything on the island is really made of nuts. Even the islands and land on Candy Island are made of sugar. The peaks of Cocoa Island are made of chocolate.
It looks like Big Mom's past work. He must have transformed the souls of these islands. As a result, these islands are now useless except for making desserts.
When Sage read the report later, he waved his hand and decided to make desserts as a specialty and build a factory, which would be another flagship product.
Hawkins, who is responsible for managing the construction aspect, is already very busy just planning the layout of the building, and does not have time to go to sea with Sager.
Urki is the same, he is busy dealing with debts.
The gold bank is short of money. Before robbing Tezoro, it will collect debts first. For those overdue loans, the means are now stepped up to get the money out.
No money?
How can you borrow money if you really have no money?
How can you lend money without background checks?
Sager started this business, so of course he had to keep up with the intelligence. He could get a lot of intelligence from the underground world, and after killing Du Feld, the rat, he got even more.
Those who came to borrow money all spoke through the channels of the underground world all over the world.
As for whether there are fakes, someone set a trap to take his money for free.
No one would choose to offend him for the information of a borrower. It is easy to fake an identity, but in this regard, no one dared to deceive him three days ago.
Why three days ago?
Because three days ago, someone really did this, carefully fabricated a lie to forge another person's identity, and cheated Sager of 300 million Baileys.
It was because of this that Urouge went there in person.
Just this little money?
Cheating the Four Emperors, just for a few hundred million Baileys?
Then you say this man is ambitious, he dares to cheat the Four Emperors for such a little money.
You say this man has no ambition, he dares to cheat the Four Emperors for such a little money
It feels like when Sager forced Doflamingo to do business.
And Akin, as the captain, he did not follow the ship, he went directly to Big·Mom's sphere of influence to do things, to ensure that there would be no accidents when the two forces bordered, and to patrol regularly to clean up the pirates who did not know how to die.
In addition to the 34 islands directly under the Big·Mom Pirates, the surrounding islands are either protected by her or her hunting grounds, but they are definitely in the sphere of influence, and these places also need to be conquered and ruled.
There is also the issue of manpower. Recruiting and integrating new pirates is also Akin's task.
Big·Mom still has other pirates under his command. With Katakuri joining in, these subordinates also joined together.
In addition, the chess guards in the direct jurisdiction of Totland also saved them some of the pressure of guarding the island, so that they could integrate faster.
There are many things to do, and they are very troublesome.
But as long as the initial planning is done and everything is on the right track, we just need to wait for time.
It cannot be said that Sager can't help much in this area, but it can also be said that he has accomplished nothing.
The main job of pirates is robbery, and the development and tax collection are the landlords' business.
Sager is now perfectly executing the main job of pirates.
The storm in the sky gradually stopped, and the turbulent sea water began to calm down, revealing the dark giant ship, and in the distance in front of the giant ship, it flickered like a golden light in the dark night.
From a distance, it is a golden island.
"We're here."
In the office, Sager stood up and looked at the golden things that could be seen outside the window, with a smile on his face, "It's a big ship"
