I can only achieve nothing and become the Pirate King.

Chapter 362 Extravagance and Desire
"Hero of Justice"

Lily finished reading the intelligence and said, "This is the intelligence we got from the navy, Sarge."

Zefa’s death was never reported in the newspapers.

It was just a memorial service within the navy, with the slogan "Hero of Justice". His resignation was not approved in the end, and he retired as a navy officer.

This information was proactively reported by Gabra and his team.

"Eh? Why wasn't it reported in the newspaper?"

Leaning on a sofa with her legs raised, Renetia asked curiously, "Zeffer is an admiral of the navy, right? There's no newspaper for an admiral's death?"

"Ah, we should pay attention to the internal impact."

Marika just came in with some snacks. She smiled and placed the snacks in front of them.

"Strawberry shortcake!"

Renetia's eyes lit up, and she quickly picked up a spoon, scooped out the strawberries with cream on them, and ate them in one bite, revealing a satisfied smile.

Lily thanked him and took a sip of the tea.

Sager, who was sitting cross-legged and leaning on a chair, picked up a piece of yokan with a skewer and swallowed it all in one gulp. Then he gulped down a cup of green tea, completely lacking the calmness and civility of tea tasting.

"The former admiral was killed by pirates. Although it wasn't as shocking as Whitebeard's death on the sea, it wasn't much different. The World Government is not that stupid." said Sager.

Things like this where evil overwhelms justice on the sea have such a huge impact that they must be concealed if possible.

Especially dying at the hands of someone like him.

Lily nodded in agreement.

He built up such a huge fortune within a year of his debut, with a very high bounty. On the sea, he and Blackbeard were called the "Pirate Emperor". People on both sides were just arguing about who was the real Pirate Emperor and didn't think of anyone else.

Sag is now a very popular topic on the sea. If there is news like the former admiral being killed by him, the waves caused will be very big.

That was a genuine victory for evil. It was obvious that the World Government, which had just won the Battle of Marineford and promoted the bravery of the navy and the stability of the ocean, would not allow such news to come out.

But Sag himself didn't care. If he wasn't praised by the sea, then he wasn't praised by the sea. He just wanted to fulfill the promise he made.

"Malika, dinner is in a few hours."

Sager smacked his lips and asked.

"Lunch starts in two hours. Is there anything you want to add at the last minute?" Marika said with a smile.

"Well, do you still have the slow-cooked duck leg I ate yesterday?" asked Sag.

Marika thought for a moment and shook her head, "Unfortunately, the main ingredient of that dish seems to have run out today. If you want to eat it, you have to wait for it to be delivered over there."

Sager was stunned, "What do you mean by used up?"

In the area he rules, no matter what he does, there is a top priority.

That is to supply Sagta himself first!
No matter what specialties, weapons or munitions, the top priority in supply is him, followed by his subordinates. He will never allow any so-called buying or selling priority to surpass him unless he gives the order himself.

It is not the case that the bigger the territory, the easier it is for Sag to satisfy his desires. On the contrary, his desires will become more profound.

Before he became a pirate, he was the kind of person who didn't care about anything. When he was poor, he would steal other people's wine and pick some wild fruits from the trees.

When he became a pirate and had no territory, as his wealth increased, he began to have requirements for food, but he was restrained. Many times if there were no rare ingredients, other ingredients could be used.

Once he had the territory, his desires began to grow uncontrollably.

He would not eat anything other than rare ingredients, and began to waste them. In the past, his standard lunch was 333 dishes, which was based on his appetite, and he could definitely eat them all. Now he can only eat so much, but Sager's standard lunch has reached 600 dishes, which he definitely cannot finish, so he began to eat evenly, eating every dish, but not finishing them all, and being able to taste a variety of delicacies, which is a very enjoyable thing.

After all, Marika’s skills are getting better and better.

In addition to extravagance, the scenes he demanded had to become bigger and bigger.

Paxia's dancer team has only grown to 20 people. The dancer troupe that was previously praised by Sag now feels that its specifications are not good enough, and is asking Paxia to recruit dancers from all over the territory, aiming to have a team of at least 100 people.

The same goes for the orchestra. Bailon, who has been promoted to the leader of the orchestra, must now recruit more people to create more grand or cheerful music that complements the dancers and matches the banquet theme that Sag orders every time.

In other aspects, Sag was even more extravagant, except for the cloak that had been transformed into Homiz, and the gold jewelry that he himself had taste to appreciate.

The clothes they wore were gradually upgraded after they conquered an island that produced special fabrics and silk.

The island itself is also very prosperous. In addition to the popular fabrics produced there, the local textile industry is also very good, and there is even a kind of extremely precious fabric.

And now it's all Sager's!

That kind of cloth is no longer sold outside, because the supply to Sager alone is in short supply, and Sager doesn't like to sell raw materials.

In addition to precious materials, he also became more and more particular about workmanship, and even the slightest difference in stitching would not be acceptable. Even for the most ordinary style of shirt, he required the stitching and craftsmanship to be the most advanced and luxurious.

After all, the gold threads on the shirt need to be woven into threads bit by bit, and then sewn in patiently, without any mistakes.

Such clothes would cost at least tens of millions of li each on the market, and were even more exquisite than the popular clothes worn by royal nobles.

Sag, on the other hand, didn't take care of his clothes at all. It was ok if they got dirty, but he would just throw them away if they were torn. Not to mention that he still had to practice, so he basically changed a few pieces every once in a while.

Except for the throne, which was a collection that had to be preserved, he replaced a lot of the other furniture because he wanted better wood and better craftsmanship.

Food, daily necessities, and entertainment, everything that humans think of in their daily lives, the most luxurious side of it can be seen in this palace.

Whether it is the best or the most expensive, no one knows.

But what is certain is that this is the best and most expensive thing that Sager Land can do.

But no one had any objections.

For Marika, it was normal for a ruler who held all the ruling power in his own hands, the king among kings, to do these things. Anyway, people all over the country could eat enough and the food was absolutely abundant, so she had no objection.

As for Lily
Sager gave the money!
There is no oppression or exploitation, and you get paid according to the work you do. It couldn't be better.

As for the luxuries that the people under his rule could not enjoy, Lily did not care, because Sage was too extravagant, to the point that ordinary rich people could not even dream of it, and it would not cause any impact on the territory.

Moreover, after all, Sager is the landlord, so it is right for him to enjoy first.

As for his growing desire
I heard that devil fruits have the power to influence people's personalities. For example, Letty, the "active person", is always full of energy, lively and active, and never idle for a moment.

But Lily thinks that Sarge is not.

Although the Momo Fruit means much more, she always feels that the fruit cannot influence Sage.

A guy like him, who never gives up and is determined to become a local landlord, is not the kind of person who will give up after achieving his goal.

For someone like Sager who has such strong desires, it is probably affecting the fruit in the opposite way.
"Lily?"

Sager's voice rang in her ears. Lily came back to her senses, thought for a moment, and said:
"There are not many people on Dak'an Island, where the black-billed white ducks are produced, so there are indeed not many ducks produced. The ones supplied to us are the rarest black-billed white ducks, and the slaughter rate is even lower, so it is normal that we cannot supply them in time. Sager, there is something now."

“We are starting to be short of people now.”
