I can only achieve nothing and become the Pirate King.

Chapter 343: At Wall
In the unknown sea area, the colors of the sky and the ocean are very similar, one is cloudless and the other is calm.

A pirate ship was floating on the sea, and its joyful voice echoed around.

"Captain, this time the harvest is very rich!"

On the deck, a group of pirates surrounded a pile of trophies, looking excited.

The spoils included many things, including food supplies, medicine, gold and Bailey, which were packed in sacks and boxes and overflowed from the holes and scattered on the deck.

"Hahahaha, that's right, abundant. These are things from two villages!"

Wearing a captain's hat, a big beard, an eye patch on his left eye, one foot replaced by an iron rod, and one hand replaced by an iron hook, he looked like a standard pirate captain, and the man who was indeed a pirate captain laughed loudly.

This is a small pirate group with only about sixty people on the ship, but they have been living a good life recently.

They had just raided a small island where there were only two villages, and they robbed them all.

In the past, they would not dare to seize the island because it was obviously Whitebeard's territory.

It’s different now. Whitebeard died a long time ago, and it’s been a year!

It was only during this year that they had the best life.

"Get rid of this batch of stuff, and then we'll go grab a new place!"

The pirate captain waved his hand with great pride.

"Eh? Captain, don't you want to take a rest?" asked a pirate wearing glasses.

"There's no way to rest now. The sea has been too chaotic recently. I heard that Scourge and Blackbeard are both expanding their territory. I don't want to run into them. Let's grab what we need to grab before they expand over here!"

Of course, the purpose of becoming a pirate is money.

Not all pirates want the Onepiece that they have never seen. Even before Whitebeard died, he said that Onepiece is real, but there are still many who are not interested.

Why come to the Grand Line and arrive in the New World? Simply because this place is chaotic enough and there is no navy.

No matter how terrifying the Four Emperors are, they cannot be as close as the navy.

There are countries everywhere that either cannot afford to pay the Heavenly Gold or simply do not want to pay. Some of them are not even countries, but just independent islands.

For pirates, this place is of course a paradise.

After all, there are no human rights in places that have not joined, and they can do whatever they want.

Especially after Whitebeard's death.

But now it's different, the situation has changed.

This pirate captain wants to rob more before the natural disaster and Blackbeard come, so he definitely cannot rest.

He is a man with a long-term vision.

"Young ones, just get through this period of time. Everyone should work harder."

The pirate captain encouraged him, "If we continue robbing for a few more months, we'll make enough money, and then we can do whatever we want!"

"Captain, have you ever thought about choosing one to join? I heard that Scourge and Blackbeard are both recruiting."

A pirate asked, "Those are two candidates for the Four Emperors."

The two who were in the limelight on the sea, one conquered the City of World Desire, and the other occupied the Island of Chaos.

And the rules for recruiting pirates are also different.

On the natural disaster side, all pirates who want to join must give up their own flags and only pledge allegiance to the biggest one.

But the good thing is that once you join, you don’t have to worry about being abandoned. Even if you are injured or disabled, there is a place to support you. Even if you die, the money you deserve will be sent to people who are closely related to you.

Although these people didn't quite believe that there really would be such a big pirate, they still shouted out the slogan.

As a pirate, it is common to hear rumors or even get information by having a drink or two with someone in a tavern.

I don’t know whether the money can be kept after death, but some disabled guys have definitely been arranged.

As long as the natural disasters don't cause them to fail, they will be fine.

There are no taboos on Blackbeard's side, and you don't even need to be loyal to him. Beehive Island is an open island and anyone can come as long as they don't go against him.

But at the same time, if they die, no one will care, and no one will guarantee their property.

Both have advantages and disadvantages, but compared to the old Four Emperors who already have a stable power, the recruitment threshold for these two is not that high, and any pirate can pass it.

"A candidate for the Four Emperors? Even if we are the Four Emperors, there is nothing good about it. We don't want to be pirates forever."

The pirate captain said: "You have been sailing with me for so long and you know my character. I don't want to join those big pirates. No matter how nice they say, their vision is limited after all. They can't pay attention to ordinary people like us."

"People like us, even if we die, no one will see us. In the eyes of those pirates, we are just a string of numbers. Those people will join for fame and fortune, but I am different. I just want to live."

"Once I have robbed enough and saved enough money, I will retire. If you want to continue being a pirate, you can decide for yourself."

"Captain? Are you going to back off?!"

"Yes, I am getting old, and this sea is no longer suitable for me. Whitebeard is dead, and it is time for me to retire. Hey, what are you laughing at? Although I am not famous, I have been a pirate since I was a teenager. It has been forty years now!"

"When I was a pirate, Whitebeard hadn't formed his own pirate group yet! I saw the changes in the sea with my own eyes. The sea would shake every few years, and now it's changing drastically again. I can't keep up with the times, and it's time to retire."

The pirate captain raised his head, a look of nostalgia revealed in his one eye.

"After I retire, I will find a place, buy a large piece of land and become a rich man. I will hire a few people to farm the land and enjoy life."

call out!
Before he could utter the word "life", there was a sudden whistling sound in the air, and a pitch-black object came swiftly from a distance and hit the deck.

boom! !

The violent explosion set off the gunpowder magazine, causing the entire ship to be engulfed in the explosion. Wooden boards and iron nails flew everywhere, and the entire ship fell apart and floated on the sea.

On the sea in the distance, a row of huge, dark ships suddenly appeared, sailing straight forward far away from the wreckage.

No one cares about the wreckage of the ship, just like stepping on an ant to death, no one would study what treasure is inside the ant's body.

"Yes! Cannonballs!"

On the Death Star, Renetia clenched her fist from behind a cannon, moved her goggles up to her pink hair, and said happily, "Hit the target!"

"Letty, come up for some snacks."

Marika called out from the second-floor balcony.

"I'm coming!"

Renetia clapped her hands and ran straight up.

In the captain's room, Sager was lying on the throne, and he sighed, "I should have brought B'Elanna and Pasia here. No one is dancing." "We are going to war, not doing anything else. It's too dangerous to bring them here. B'Elanna is the head maid and needs to maintain the daily work of the palace. Pasia also needs to teach the newcomers to dance."

Lily took out a bottle of wine from the wine cabinet and asked, "Is LeFrey okay?"

Sager pushed the wine glass and asked Lily to pour white wine into it. He picked up the snack in front of him and just took a bite when Renetia rushed up in a hurry.

"What are you doing out there?" asked Sarge.

"It's so boring. I'm looking for something to shoot. You don't allow me to fry fish. But I just found a pirate ship and hit it with one shot. It was really nice."

Renetia sat on the sofa and was about to pick up the spoon to eat the cake when Marika came over and said with a smile, "Go wash your hands first."

"Oh"

Renetia shouted and ran to wash her hands.

"Pirate ship?"

Sager was stunned, but didn't care.

It is very normal to encounter a pirate ship. It can be destroyed with one shot. That's it.

If a small thing is destroyed, it will be destroyed if no one cares about it.

He didn't even bother to go over and salvage it.

In the past, I wanted money because I had the money and confidence to develop my business.

Now that he had money and territory, he had everything he needed. Of course, he wasn't that interested in a small amount of money.

The fleet is on its way, there is no need to change its course because of such a small matter.

"How long will it take?" Sager asked after finishing the snack in his hand.

Lily thought for a moment and said, "According to the timetable, we will reach the sea area agreed upon by Teach in two days."

The sailing of a large fleet is not that fast.

The Death Star may be fast, but it is hard to say about the remaining ships.

Lily looked behind the Death Star from a window. Behind this black ship were densely packed ships.

This time, the fleet of 10,000 people is very powerful.

Diagonally behind the Death Star, there were four ships in the lead.

Moriah's small horror brig, Hawkins's Grudge Dolph, Ulki's Banjo Maru, and Akin's dreadnought battleship Sabre are all giant ships with thousands of people on board.

Further back were the captains’ ships, all of which were three-masted sailing ships that could carry more than 300 people, and they had also been modified to varying degrees.

Bellamy's ship has a statue on the bow that looks like a spring, and the buildings on the ship are also built like springs. Above the starry pirate flag, there is also an affiliated flag with the logo of a skull crossed with a mouth sticking out its tongue.

This is his flagship, the Spring.

Palu's ship was covered with shields on both sides, and its symbol was a skull painted on the shield.

He also had his own ship, named 'The Invincible Handsome'.

Miott's ship is quite normal. Its flag is similar to Bellamy's, also in the shape of lips, but the mouth is wide open, spitting out circles representing sound waves.

This is his 'Beast with a Broken Tongue'.

The rest is gone.

The remaining Jambaloo and Statham, including the newly joined Slyman, also have their own ships.

But after the last battle with Big Mom, Lily felt that this configuration was wrong. After all, the Death Star also needed someone to control it.

So it was decided that when the Death Star set out, some people would still have to be in specific positions. Jambaru would be the helmsman and had to steer the ship, and Sleiman would need to assist in the command.

As for Statham, his ship was not that big. Once he got on board, he would not have too many subordinates. He himself did not like to lead a ship alone, so he simply returned to the Death Star.

During battle, he can use his size to quickly repair the ship if it is damaged.

These captain-level ships are together with the pirate ships in the rear that are of various shapes and colors but do not have independent flags.

There were nearly thirty pirate ships mixed with the captain-class ships. Those were the pirates who had joined the group and they were using their own ships.

The Calamity Pirates are growing larger and larger, attracting more and more people, and making their subordinates more powerful.

Before, you only needed to convince others to become a captain, but after so long, there are still only a few people who can convince others.

Now it's not just that, people are starting to fight for the 2,000 places on the Death Star.

In the past, when the Death Star was recruiting, anyone could get on board.

At that time, Sager gave two options.

First, keep your own ship and personnel, but no flag. If you want an affiliated flag, then you have to make a convincing reputation in the pirate group.

Second, leave nothing unturned and the entire group enters the Death Star.

A normal pirate ship only has about a hundred people, so they can handle anything. After all, there will always be casualties in battle.

But things are different now. With more people and Sage not going on many expeditions now, the people on the Death Star have become the target of everyone's competition.

Except for the three hundred demons, the remaining one thousand seven hundred places are being fought over.

Even among the ship's doctors, navigators and cooks, there are those who want to prove that they are more powerful, so as to enter the Death Star and become true pirate elites.

As a result, the people on this ship are all very good veteran pirates in terms of both combat ability and experience.

After all, this is the main ship and the soul of the Scourge Pirates.

Of course, there are also former pirate teams who do not want to join and instead leave their own ships behind. Although they no longer have their flags, they can still compete from another direction.

"Sage, something's wrong!"

Lily withdrew her gaze and looked out the window in front of her. After just one glance, she was suddenly startled and shouted, "There's a fleet!"

"Fleet? Marco?" Sag was stunned.

"No, it's not."

Lily shook her head. "It's a huge fleet. It doesn't look like Marco's Moby Dick. It seems to be..."

Her pupils shrank, and she looked solemn.

The fleet and whatnot seemed to be clearly visible.

And she also remembered that this sea
Here
It's Art Wall!
