Arrangements, Unexpected Change
The next day arrived.
Beyond the mining area, on the plains outside the capital.
A large number of miners left the mining area and came here under the guidance of the Mine Guard.
No one knew what had happened, nor did they know that the mine Mine Guard, who usually wanted them to stay in the mine around the clock wielding their picks, would lead them away from the mining area today.
They were just gathered there blankly, waiting aimlessly.
Sirius stood on the city wall, looking down at the miners below.
I can't see anything else, all I can see is numbness.
The ocean is cruel.
The weak are not guilty, but they cannot resist crime.
Sirius was very fortunate to have found the Fenrir Fruit, which laid the foundation for him to become a strongman.
He was also very grateful to Teacher Kaido for taking him away from the Desert Island and truly making him a strong person.
The miners had indeed escaped the exploitation of the Morgan Pirates, but they were immediately met with the arrival of the Beasts Pirates.
Not far from Sirius, Teacher King flapped his wings and flew into the sky, flames rising behind his head.
Flames shot into the sky again, turning the sky a fiery red.
The air temperature was rising rapidly, and the firelight illuminated the faces of all the miners, reflecting their unparalleled fear and dread.
Teacher King spoke, his voice booming, "I have something to tell you: the Morgan Pirates have disbanded. From now on, this island, and all of you on this island, belong to the Beasts Pirates, to Kaido."
The miners' faces were quite amusing at this moment, shifting from panic to astonishment, and then back to numbness.
Is there a difference?
Although many of them didn't know exactly what kind of organization the Beasts Pirates were, a pirate is a pirate, so what difference would there be between them and Morgan?
The miners didn't react, but the Morgan Pirates, who had survived yesterday's battle, and the Mine Guard that had come to assemble today cheered.
"Yes, Lord Jin!"
"Please let us follow you, Boss Jin!"
It doesn't matter who you hang out with.
What's it like to discuss loyalty with pirates?
The idea of eunuchs going to brothels is utter nonsense.
What does Morgan's death matter if they can get on the good side of the Beasts Pirates?
No, in fact, I should say, Morgan, you deserve to die!
The cheers of these guys made the miners' faces even gloomier.
King remained calm. He glanced down at Sirius standing on the city wall before speaking, "From today onward, this island is under the rule of the Beasts Pirates. You are permitted to fly our flag."
Now, both the former Morgan Pirates and the members of the Mine Guard were flushed with excitement.
This means that anyone who dares to covet this island will be attacked by the Beasts Pirates!
The island instantly transformed into a safe haven!
That's the power of Pirate Emperor!
"But,"
Teacher King continued, "We don't have time to manage this island, so we've decided to select some of you to govern it."
That's the truth. How many people are there in the Beasts Pirates in total?
How can we live if we send troops to suppress every region?
Even Wano Country is ruled by Orochi, let alone this place.
The Mine Guard instantly became excited.
Who else could it be? Who else could replace the Beasts Pirates in governing this island?
It could only be them, of course.
"Let's choose from the miners."
Teacher King said this, he looked at the sea of miners in the dark, and said, "I don't care who you choose, nor do I care what you do afterward."
"There's only one thing you need to remember: ore. Boss Kaido occupied this island for ore. If you can never meet Boss Kaido's needs, then you'll be destroyed along with this island."
The miners hadn't even realized what was happening.
However, the Mine Guard and the former Morgan Pirates had already started making a ruckus. One of the bolder ones even shouted, "Lord Jin, what about us?"
Teacher King glanced down at him without speaking. He simply raised his right hand, and a ball of flame appeared in it.
"Who gave you permission to question me?"
With a flick of his wrist, the fireball shot out and crashed into the crowd amidst the man's terrified gaze.
Boom!
A massive explosion suddenly erupted, flames shot skyward, and a large number of the Mine Guard and pirates were instantly engulfed. The raging winds whipped up sand and stones from the ground.
Only then did the pirates and Mine Guard realize that this man was Flame Calamity, infamous for his cruelty and tyranny!
A true natural disaster!
Whether you live or die is none of my business.
Teacher King sneered, and then he said, "Give me the name of the ruler by today, or everyone should prepare to die."
After saying that, he landed.
The miners finally started to make noise.
They realized something.
The faces of the Mine Guard and the pirates gradually turned pale; they realized something.
They've already had their weapons confiscated!
Someone turned around in fear, and just then, he saw countless eyes staring at him.
Are you satisfied now?
Jin landed beside Sirius and said coldly.
"Don't say that, Teacher King."
Sirius smiled and said, "This was personally agreed upon by Teacher Kaido."
"Snort."
Teacher King gave a soft snort, jumped off the city wall, and left.
The fleet of Beasts has also landed and is stationed in the city.
Only after Teacher King left did Yamato and the others gather around.
"I didn't expect Mr. Kaido to actually give in." Black Maria said with some emotion, looking at the miners outside the city walls who were already surging towards the Mine Guard and pirates.
"This is a reward for passing the exam."
Sirius said with a smile.
There was the factor of the reward, and also the result of Sirius calling Teacher Kaido all night last night.
What does a mere island matter?
As long as it doesn't affect ore production, Teacher Kaido has absolutely no interest in what will happen to this island next.
Sirius's main purpose was to persuade Teacher Kaido about sustainable mining practices, unlike Morgan's short-sighted approach.
It wasn't too difficult; Teacher Kaido agreed, after all, the Beasts Pirates weren't short of ore.
"It's a bit of a shame, though, that the island's inhabitants don't know that you, Sirius, are the hero who saved them," Black Maria said with a light laugh.
"What are you saying, Maria, hero?"
Sirius smiled. "It's just something I like."
"But,"
Jack said in a deep voice, "Sirius, even if you do this, their outcome won't be much better than before. Everything you've done is completely meaningless."
Yes, even though the island's inhabitants have escaped Morgan's exploitation and the Mine Guard's wanton humiliation, the iron ore production demanded by Teacher Kaido is by no means low.
Of these miners, how many are actually able to go home?
"That's none of my business. I can't make everyone happy."
Sirius stretched. "Let's go eat, I'm so hungry."
"Sirius," Yamato leaned closer to Sirius, "Why don't we set sail now?"
"That's a great suggestion, I'm very interested, but it's not the right time yet."
Soon, the miners elected leaders and formed a simple leadership team. After Teacher King briefed them on the upcoming production targets, he...
The Beasts Pirates' fleet is about to set sail once again.
This voyage has a destination far beyond just one island.
Almost at the same moment.
On another island in this sea area.
At this moment, the island's most prosperous city was in ruins. His King, who had once led the entire country forward, lay on the ground with one foot on his head, yet he dared not move. The nobles and ministers kneeling around him stood like wooden or clay statues, watching helplessly as their king was insulted.
"Mokey Island has been occupied by the Beasts?"
The man stepping on the King's head turned around in surprise. "So, does that mean they're not far from here? Do these guys want to start a war?"
"Brother Katakuri, what should we do?"
The man's voice from behind was deep and somber. "Call Whole Cake Island immediately and ask Mother for her decision."
