Achieving Nothing, I Can Only Be the Pirate King Chapter 571 - 334: What Right Do You Have to Carve Your Soul

Is it worth betting on the Big Mom Pirates for an island that isn’t that important?

Not at this point.

Charlotte Linlin was a bit stunned upon hearing this, and the Laser Knife in her hand gradually shrunk. At the sa ti, the intense storm also slightly abated.

Sage’s tense body also slowly relaxed.

What Katakuri saw, Sage could also see, but such matters are not for anyone to concede!

He didn’t care who the opponent was; there was no reason for him to retreat. It wasn’t about pride, but rather a matter of planning.

If he retreated, the island wouldn’t be his!

In the expansion plan for his influence, Sage did not allow failure.

Neither side spoke; they simply stared at each other.

Until the Hymn Queen began to retreat, the entire fleet seed to follow the wind and rain, continuously easing back, gradually widening the distance from the Disaster Pirates.

"Brat! I’ll let you go this ti. You better not fall into my hands, or else I’ll make you pay dearly! Mama mama mama!!"

Until those fleets turned into a silhouette, Charlotte Linlin’s shout ca from the sea, unstoppable by the howling storm.

"You’re the one who better not fall into my hands!"

Sage shouted loudly: "Otherwise, I’ll take your knife and your fire! Old hag, next ti I’ll kill you!"

In terms of trash talk, he wouldn’t back down either.

"Did we win?"

Gin asked incredulously: "We beat Big Mom? We beat a Four Emperors?"

"No..."

Lily leaned against the sword hilt to keep her body as straight as possible, glanced around at the surviving subordinates, and said:

"But we held off the attack from Big Mom!!"

They certainly didn’t win.

But they didn’t lose either.

With eight thousand against twenty thousand, they defended Scope Island, effectively forcing a retreat by the Four Emperors!

"We won!!"

The subordinates didn’t care about the details; all they saw was they didn’t move, and Big Mom withdrew.

This was a victory!

Despite the overwhelming difference in forces, they won!

"Captain Sage!"

"Boss Sage, you’re amazing!"

"Indeed, with the Captain here, we can’t lose. Long live the Disaster Pirates!"

The subordinates cheered.

And on the bow of the ship, Sage’s blazing white hair, like flas, gradually extinguished, and the Haki Thunderbolt that coiled around him also dissipated, his black and red Haki armor receded, returning to normal.

He plopped down at the bow, gritting his teeth, saying: "Stop screaming; soone bring food!"

"Hogback!"

Moriah’s sharp voice called out: "Everyone head to Scope for adjustnt and rest!"

The remaining fleet all headed towards the distant island.

This battle wasn’t too bad; not only did they preserve the island, but they also protected the territory...

The forr being the influence of the land, and the latter the island itself...

The last ti he fought with Kaido, not many were taken away, and the island was shattered.

In the battle with Big Mom, being able to preserve the island counted as a good result.

Though the main officers weren’t much affected, it still counted as heavy losses.

The battle didn’t last long, but of the eight thousand people brought, over a thousand died, and more than two thousand were injured.

As for Big Mom’s side...

Because of Moriah, ten of Charlotte Linlin’s children were injured, but in the clash of subordinates, they didn’t gain much.

Those roaming the New World aren’t too different; a force of twenty thousand is definitely stronger than eight thousand, making it an advantage.

According to the officers’ recollections from the battle, if the battle hadn’t ended soon, the result might have been uncertain.

After all...

"Didn’t gain any advantage."

On the island of Scope, all the ships docked at the coast, and not far from the shore, the Disaster Pirates were resting.

Slightly recovering, Lily pursed her lips and said:

"Katakuri is really strong; I didn’t gain the upper hand against him."

If Sage hadn’t arrived quickly, she might have died there.

The likes of Bellamy, those captains fought easily, but the battle with high-ranking officers was quite tough.

Besides Lily, Marika was also injured and was surprisingly eating a lot to replenish energy.

Smoothie’s ability caused her significant exhaustion; even though using hair requires energy, she depleted all the attacking hair and was repeatedly touched during the battle.

If it were ordinary people, they’d have been drained; Marika forcibly used Life Return to restore her drained limbs.

But this kind of consumption was also quite large.

Moreover, she didn’t gain any advantage, Smoothie herself had formidable swordsmanship and strength, though Marika had strength advantage, it wasn’t enough to convert it into damage.

Hawkins was the sa; he was slightly better, though injured, he held the advantage.

Despite Cracker eventually killing everyone on the ship, causing him to struggle finding a new substitute, unable to activate his ability, Cracker himself was afraid of pain.

Despite his strong Haki, making Hawkins take a few hits causing injury, he himself was about to be hit by Hawkins; the ti wasn’t long, only interrupted by Sage’s arrival.

As for Gin, he was evenly matched with Oven, temporarily without a decisive result.

But according to his own words, the opponent’s Haki was better than his; if the fight dragged on, he’d be the one to lose.
