Achieving Nothing, I Can Only Be the Pirate King Chapter 525 - 307: Time to Take Whitebeard’s Territory

Regarding Gares changing his na to O’hara, Sage doesn’t really care if it slaps the World Governnt in the face.

The people under his rule just need to change their na to integrate into the new environnt properly, as for what they’re called... it doesn’t really matter.

Even if they call it Mary Geoise, these people wouldn’t care much since it’s a non-adhering country that never paid attention to the World Governnt.

Life goes on, and business continues.

After renaming, people beca highly enthusiastic about their work, which also boosted business a bit.

With Tias no longer competing for business, and a new batch of boatn on board, the shipbuilding speed finally picked up. Whether it was warships or regular ships, Sage sold them all.

Weapons, ships, and those resources whose overproduction would lead to price drops, Sage sold them all. That’s how business is done, and as for where traders sell and at what price, he doesn’t care much as long as they pay taxes.

As long as they pay taxes, he doesn’t mind if they sell to the World Governnt.

After all, as long as the market circulates, Sage can’t control where things end up. Maybe the World Governnt will even buy so.

After all, weapons and cannons can shelter from the rain.

Every now and then, new pirate groups still co by, wanting to join the increasingly famous Sage, and the number of pirate groups is also starting to increase.

The longer Sage occupies this place, the more solid his position becos, and the more people anticipate his success.

For such a huge cri as killing a Heavenly Celestial Dragon, nothing has happened to him so far, and he’s occupied such a large country for so long. Being a hot candidate for the Four Emperors certainly draws pirates’ attention.

Royal Palace, training room.

At the mont, Sage is continuously attacking the Poneglyph, using every part of his head, body, and limbs in the assault, yet still not employing Haki.

In terms of physique, it’s steadily strengthening through constant training.

Sage isn’t one of those naturally gifted individuals with exceptional physique. Even after becoming stronger, his body hasn’t grown significantly taller, like reaching seven or eight ters all of a sudden.

Human strength can’t be unrelated to physique; otherwise, giants wouldn’t be acknowledged as strong fighters.

So folks, no matter how skilled with Haki or adept with their abilities, can’t withstand a giant’s attack.

But Sage has his unique thod because his physique is constantly improving through Life Return and training, with no end to this enhancent in sight.

This kind of average human height can also develop an extrely strong physique through his own training.

Currently, he estimates needing to amplify his strength fifty tis to defeat Kaido. As his physique improves, this amplification requirent gets smaller and smaller.

After finishing physique training, training abilities, and then practicing using Haki, the Poneglyph, which initially didn’t budge, is driven all around under the combination of abilities and Haki, chased rapidly by Sage, resulting in a series of sounds.

Bam!

Until Sage flashed to the front of the Poneglyph, hitting it fiercely with his shoulder, causing a sharp, ear-piercing noise from the friction between the massive stone and the steel ground, after which the Poneglyph returned to its original position.

Sage shook his fists downward, exhaled a breath, then looked at the doorway, "What’s up?"

Lily had been there for quite a while, just silently watching him train.

"Your injuries are appearing less frequently now."

Lily casually pulled out a bottle of wine from the rack by the door and skillfully tossed it to Sage.

"People need to get stronger, Lily. When I get my normal state trained to the physique strength those relying on Zoan-type amplification can reach, nothing in the ocean can stop !"

Sage downed half the bottle of wine in one go, then headed to the door, "I’m gonna take a bath, have Marika whip up so breakfast for , add a dish of stewed beef to the breakfast, and lots of green onions."

After bathing, Sage arrived at a quiet dining room.

Apart from the banquet hall, the Royal Palace also has another dining area where Sage sotis prefers to eat quietly, so there’s only one round table.

Up till now, his eating routines, unless specifically requested otherwise, are fixed.

Breakfast needs to be good, and thus it’s 166 ticulously prepared gourt dishes...not the kind to explode clothes, but dishes crafted from various top-grade ingredients.

For lunch, it needs to be enough, usually 333 dishes.

Dinner also needs to be good...

Sage indeed has expectations for dinner and never settles for a small amount, typically 188 dishes.

Too much?

Not really, given Sage’s physique growth, with Life Return additionally contributing significantly.

On one hand, he’s able to enjoy delicious food, while on the other hand, he can enhance his physique and practice Life Return. Why wouldn’t he do it?

If it weren’t for considering the ti it takes Marika to cook, he would have added even more.

Under normal circumstances, Sage only eats what she cooks, as it tastes the best.

In the past, when not being a pirate, Sage lived a tough life. Taste and even getting enough was a struggle. Now that he’s a pirate, if he still lives poorly, then what’s the point of being a pirate?

Moreover, now that he’s done being a landlord, a bit of indulgence like this is no big deal at all.

"Lily, co eat with , and then we’ll go fishing. I’ve heard at Vice Island, there’s a small lake with many fish jumping over the water’s surface!" Sage remarks with high spirits.

Lily pouted slightly, "I’m really busy, Sage."

"Take a break once in a while." Sage chuckled.

That’s your stubborn self idling around!

How many fishing rods have you broken already!

And they’re never the sa. Today it’s the gold rod, tomorrow the gemstone rod; whenever there’s no catch, the rod gets broken.

Storm City is almost developing an industry called ’treasure seekers,’ specializing in finding places with water and fish, hoping to find one of Sage’s broken rods, which can sell for quite a bit.

"No ti, I have many matters to manage dostically, and I need to train." Lily firmly refused.

Leisure?

The Captain only needs to think about leisure, but subordinates have much more to consider.

"Besides, I ca to report. Nurous pirate groups have joined us recently, increasing our available force in Storm City to five thousand people."

"Furthermore, our current production is nearing saturation point. Should we increase population and other industries... It’s ti to take over Whitebeard’s territory."

"Hmm..."

Sage rubbed his chin, "Five thousand, huh? Fine, let those cadres go. Of course, the New World should be explored more. It’s fine if you guys want to go too, it’s indeed ti to move."

Last ti, Teach also called. Before attacking Hive Island, he was already seizing Whitebeard’s territory.

Now that the recruitnt is nearly complete, it’s ti to fight for territory.

His plan is to split Whitebeard’s territory right in half.
