Chapter 870: Chapter 530: Fish-Fish Fruit Is Also a Fish
Conquer... Kaido?
The newly recruited pirates, still shocked by Sage’s sudden appearance, showed clear disbelief upon hearing Sage’s words.
But soon, they were all excited again.
"Oh!!!"
A group of people raised their weapons and shouted out loud.
"That’s what makes Master Sage worthy!"
The ’wounded Albion’ and ’waiter’ Lip Doughty, who successfully joined the Disaster Pirates, were all excited.
"This is what a Four Emperor who defeated Big Mom should do!"
"Captain Sage’s ambition is what attracted us to join!"
The pirates in the New World invited to the banquet are not easy to deal with. Their strength might not compare to the top, but their trouble-making skills and strong desires are excellent.
These people hold a respectful yet challenging attitude towards the Four Emperors, as long as there’s a leader, especially one at the Four Emperor level, they can unleash great enthusiasm.
"Great! I like you all, following me won’t go wrong, what you want, I can achieve!"
Sage laughed heartily, then looked towards those who didn’t get selected, "The same goes for you, if you want to join, come on!"
His reputation doesn’t require him to prove anything anymore.
On the sea, who doesn’t know he’s generous with money, and strong at that.
Just these two points are enough.
"Lily, count up, have the ones not selected follow the ship back to O’hara; those selected all board the Death Star, we’ll set sail to Wano Country."
Upon hearing, Lily said, "It’s ready, this time the selected number is seventeen hundred, each with a bounty of over 20 million Belly, apart from combat, some possess high sailing skills, including medical navigation and cannon usage, not just combatants, directly usable."
Although heading to Wano Country, the primary focus is combat power, but being pirates who’ve roamed for so long, it’s impossible to be completely ignorant, they can sail directly without issues.
"Also, among those attending the banquet this time, we found two unexpected individuals."
Lily beckoned, coldly said, "Bring them up."
Pearl dragged two people from not far away, threw them in front of Sage, and shouted, "Captain, one guy is the mastermind behind this, Buena Festa!"
"Oh?"
Sage overlooked the short man with the explosive hairstyle, smiled, "The banquet was well arranged, your intelligence network is impressive, would you be interested in working for me?"
"Pah! You, the guy who stole my spotlight, I will never work for anyone!"
Festa stood up, spat fiercely, angrily said, "First Roger, then you, all stole my spotlight! What Great Pirate Era, how can such a celebration compare to mine! Also, this is my celebration! Mine! What World’s Greatest Martial Arts Tournament, you destroyed my dream!!"
According to the initial plan, cooperating with Barrett and the Eternal Pose found from the Sea King’s stomach after being buried in the Sea King, not only attracted pirates but also the Navy, thereby completing the world’s largest war celebration.
To rival Roger initiating the Great Pirate Era, the only way is to use the Eternal Pose as bait, causing everyone on the sea to move, using Barrett’s destruction of the Buster Call as the trigger to initiate the War Era!
Only then would Festa surpass Roger!
But all of this was ruined by this white-haired guy!
"Celebration? Feast? You compare in hosting a banquet with me?"
Sage sneered, "A mere fight doesn’t count as a feast, such little treasure can’t attract people, a Laugh Tale’s Eternal Pose is just that, people like you ultimately live in others’ shadow."
"I’m different, everything I do can evoke people’s desires, Laugh Tale’s ruin means nothing, I have more important things to do!"
"Forget it..."
He shook his head and said, "Why am I saying so much to you, for your effort in starting this celebration, get lost, I spare your life."
"You hateful guy! I’m not living in Roger’s shadow!"
Festa was enraged, jumped up and punched straight at Sage.
Seeing this, Sage’s gaze subtly darkened.
Swish!
As his gaze changed, a beam of light sliced through Festa’s body, splitting him in two, landing on the ground, his upper half glaring at Sage even in death.
Bang!
A foot clad in white stockings and boots kicked that head, sending the upper half flying away.
Lily retracted her legs, sheathed the sword, not even glancing at the remaining lower half, returned to Sage’s side.
This kind of guy, where’s the qualification to attack Sage?
If defeated, one must recognize it; those unable to admit defeat are utter weaklings.
Weaklings have no right to continue barking.
Sage wasn’t much concerned about Festa’s death, but looked at another guy, similar in height to Festa, currently face down, butt outwards quivering.
"Who are you?"
Upon hearing, the man tremblingly raised his head, only to reveal an iron collar on his chin.
"Master Sage, he’s Wapol! The one with Wapolmetal!" Pearl said, seeking credits.
Apart from those unknown ones like Bartolomeo and Cavendish who were hit away, among numerous pirates, there is another familiar face worth noting.
The one Sage hasn’t seen, but desires so much, causing the entire crew to want to find that one person.
