I can only achieve nothing and become the Pirate King.

Chapter 490 Reaction
Boom!

There were still lightning and thunder, and still a gloomy storm. Under the storm, there was also a large fleet swaying in the rain.

On the huge ship in the lead, the black sail and the starry sky skull flag were flying, and the whole ship was sailing steadily in the raging waves, while behind it was the fleet that was tossing along with the waves.

A seagull flew from the distant sky and flew directly into the storm.
Death Star, inside the captain's cabin.

Kalifa pushed up her floodlit glasses and held up the statistics she had just compiled: "There were originally four Seven Star Battleships, and two were lost. One was destroyed by the collective attack of the Big Mom Pirates, and the other was cut in half by Smoothie."

"There were originally six Nova officer ships, four of which were lost, two were damaged at Perospero, and two more were destroyed in naval battles. There were 150 ordinary warships, and 43 of them sank."

"In this battle, the total number of casualties was 23682, 3264 of them died, and 5739 were seriously injured. According to estimates, at least half of these seriously injured people will be disabled, and it is even more difficult to count the number of minor injuries."

The battles between the Four Emperors and the battles between cadres are actually no different to the pirates below; they are all equally powerful.

Just like the most common flintlock rifle and the most advanced laser cannon, they can be killed anyway.

The casualties in the gunfights among minions can only account for half, and the other half are basically caused by the cadres. The aftermath of the battles of those strong men can blow away a dozen people, and a sudden attack can cause dozens or even hundreds of casualties.

There are many such experts in the Big Mom Pirates. In terms of combat power, Sage has more top-level combat power, but the middle and lower levels are not as many as them. In a real battle, their casualties are actually more than those of the Big Mom Pirates.
Sarge snapped his fingers and asked B'Elanna to pour him a glass of wine. He drank half of it in one gulp. "And then?"

"We have recruited a total of 113 core members of the Big Mom Pirates, and 16 of them died in the war. We haven't fully counted the ordinary subordinates yet, but the number is definitely no less than ." Kalifa said.

Sager's mouth curled up into a smile.

As the subordinates grew, the weakness of the Calamity Pirates' upper echelons' insufficient combat power was made up, and then a new shortcoming was exposed: insufficient combat power among the middle and lower echelons.

The captains of those ordinary battleships are really minion captains, and there are only a few "new stars" with bounties exceeding 100 million. Compared with the Big Mom Pirates who have at least dozens of capable core members, they are not enough.

Now, Sage has recruited them. It’s hard to say about the middle-level combat power, but the lower-level combat power is definitely no longer a problem. Most of the shortcomings have been made up at once.

Moreover, these people can be used right away. Many of them have experience in governing islands. There is no need to worry about whether they are sent to new important islands or stay in Totland.

There are so many benefits to fighting one of the Four Emperors!
Khalifa pushed her glasses up again and sighed inwardly.

Once Sarge completely absorbs Big Mom's power, it will definitely become the most powerful force among the Four Emperors.

It was originally a being that could not be provoked in the ocean, and now it is even more impossible to provoke it.
Just as she was thinking this, the door of the captain's room was pushed open and Lily walked in with a stack of newspapers.

After a period of rest, her injuries have almost healed. In contrast, Katakuri's bandages are still on.

"newspaper."

Lily immediately turned on the newspaper, which was still soaked by raindrops. There were many pages on it, but the most eye-catching one was a half-length photo of Sage, who seemed to have just been fighting with Big Mom in the sky. The sky behind him was thundering and covered with dark clouds, making the blazing white hair look like a burning flame.

"It's a good photo."

Sarge nodded and commented, "The navy's technology is really amazing. They can even capture scenes like this."

"This time the newspapers are full of similar reports."

Lily came over, picked up the bottle and filled Sage's glass, saying, "We have defeated Big Mom, and the news that Big Mom is dead or alive is known to everyone."

She spread the newspaper flat on the table and pulled out a stack of wanted posters. "Also, our rewards have increased."

……

An island somewhere in the second half of the New World.

A gentle breeze blew the red hair of a man with a one-armed body. He sat on a mountain peak, looking at the waves in front of him that were also blown by the wind. He raised his only intact arm and looked at the two bounty warrants in his hand.

"Luffy, here we come."

His eyes first fell on a bounty poster with a man wearing a straw hat and a bright smile, then he smiled slightly and looked at the other one.

Completely different from the previous one with a bright smile and sunny weather, this bounty order was gloomy and unbridled, presenting a strong contrast. The number below the photo also made his eyes freeze for a moment, and then he shook his head and smiled:
“It’s getting more and more troublesome.”

"Thief hahahaha!"

On Honeycomb Island, loud laughter echoed throughout the entire island along with a vibration.

Teach clenched his fist in one hand and held the wooden barrel in the other, laughing.

There was a newspaper on the table next to him.

"Well done! Big Mom was killed by Sarge!"

Teach showed his missing teeth, "Hahahahaha, as an ally, I am sincerely happy too!"

"It's indeed a good thing."

Xiliu bit his cigar and exhaled the smoke, then sheathed the wiped blade. "Big Mom is dead. With our ever-increasing bounties, the position of the Four Emperors is ours." "That's right."

Lafitte laughed: "Even the newspapers are writing this now."

"Thief hahahaha"

Teach laughed again, picked up a bounty for the straw hat on the table, looked at the bounty amount, and grinned even wider:
"So I became one of the Four Emperors, but it's too early for him to be given the position of the Fifth Emperor!"

At the same time, Wano Country, Onigashima.

From the moment he saw the newspaper, Kaido, who had been crying and laughing, fell silent, which was unusual for him. His face, which had been a little drunk, became extremely solemn.

"Kai, Lord Kaido."

Several men carefully lifted the wine gourd and wanted to pour wine for him, but he grabbed it with his big hand and gently picked up the gourd.

He also picked up the wine cup, stood up his huge body, walked out of the cave, looked at the sky, and remained silent for a long time.

"Hey kid, what's your name?"

"Don't ignore me, my name is Lingling, Charlotte Lingling."

"Don't trust Rocks too much, Kaido. If you have any problem, just come to me!"

"Where's Kaido! Where is Kaido?!"

"Hey, Kaido, you don't have the ability yet, this is a good thing, I'll give it to you!"

He was wary when they first met, and then they formed an alliance with the Rocks Pirates. Then he went to the Valley of the Gods. He got the fruit that Linlin had taken.
"There is no immortal person in the sea. It is better to die of old age there."

Kaido filled the wine cup, looked at his own reflection in the clear wine, then closed his eyes again and drank the wine from the cup with his head tilted back.

This time, I used too much force, causing the wine to splash out a little, and even the corners of my eyes became a little wet. I don't know if there were tears mixed in.
"Old woman!"

Kaido suddenly opened his eyes and shouted towards the sky: "Thanks for taking care of me back then!!"

……

During the World Conference, a lot of soldiers above the rank of colonel were dispatched to pick up and drop off kings and nobles of member nations who were eligible to participate in the World Conference, as well as to escort the surrounding areas to prevent pirates from attacking these people.

Even though a lot of troops were sent out, as the headquarters of the navy, it still has sufficient troops.

After Whitebeard's death, there were far fewer pirates in the first half of the Grand Line than before, especially with the emergence of PX, who became a powerful force in maintaining peace and order.

The Navy Headquarters, which serves as the front line of the New World, suppresses the latter half with a more forceful attitude to prevent the pirates from spying and attacking.

In a conference room.

The sailors above the rank of lieutenant admiral stationed at the headquarters sat cross-legged in two rows. Each sailor held a newspaper in front of him or in his hand, and the headlines on the newspaper could be vaguely seen.

Brannew, who was at the front, stood straight with his hands behind his back. The video Den Den Mushi in front of him received the bounty order with one eye, while the other eye was projected onto the screen in front.

An impromptu meeting was held, chaired by Brannew.

It’s nothing, it’s time to issue a new bounty.

"First, during Big Mom's tea party, the Straw Hat Pirates were the first to break in, causing a big disturbance, and escaped from the encirclement of the Big Mom Pirates. According to intelligence, the Straw Hat Pirates had a fierce battle with Katakuri, one of the three generals, and the two sides were evenly matched."

"From disappearing two years ago to setting sail two years later, he defeated Doflamingo and tied with Katakuri, and evacuated safely from the encirclement. Now he is being touted by the newspapers as the new emperor of the sea. This publicity is also a very dangerous signal."

"So, 'Straw Hat' Luffy, the bounty is 1.5 billion Baileys!"

"In addition, 'Blackfoot' Sanji has also been officially abandoned by the Vinsmoke family. We will properly assess his harm. Vinsmoke Sanji, bounty of 330 million berries."

"Of course, they are not the point."

After removing the bounty on Straw Hat and Sanji, Bran took a deep breath and said:

"Of course, such a guy is not a big deal. The main purpose of our meeting this time is only one."

He looked around at everyone and his voice became deeper: "That's how dangerous the disaster is!"

All the marines present were startled and their breathing slowed down.

The big news nowadays is not about who escaped from the Four Emperors or who won a tie.
The overwhelming newspapers and news only circulated one thing.

One of the Four Emperors, 'Natural Disaster', defeated another of the Four Emperors, 'Big Mom', and achieved a complete victory!
This is the most important thing in the world today, even overshadowing this world conference!
