Katakuri's generous willingness to die convinced everyone with his life.
Everyone believed Katakuri's words and began following his orders, preparing to surrender.
Perospero stood there with a dark expression, watching his brothers and sisters move one after another to pledge themselves to the Revolutionary Army.
Katakuri sat beside him. He was unwilling to die outright right now, but if he had to die here alongside his brothers and sisters, he would not blink an eye.
His bold spirit stirred the entire Sweets Pirates. They no longer worried about what life after surrender would be like.
Nothing was more important than life.
Having reached that consensus, they began surrendering en masse.
In batches, by units, by islands, by ships, they began surrendering to the Revolutionary Army.
At first, the Revolutionary Army had not expected Katakuri to achieve such tremendous results by entering the Sweets Pirates' Totto Land alone—except for Leo.
But once the Sweets Pirates began surrendering, sorting them into categories became the Revolutionary Army's most urgent task.
The Sweets Pirates' numbers and combat strength exceeded all expectations. One hundred thousand pirates were waiting to be incorporated.
The Four Emperors were not pirate groups that produced nothing. In truth, they were hardly any different from emperors. Their shadows loomed over hundreds and thousands of New World nations, and above those nations stood the Four Emperors.
In other words, with those nations supplying them, the Four Emperors could fully support more than a hundred thousand pirates and soldiers like these.
Their military strength was not surprising, but their surrender left the Revolutionary Army scrambling.
With these hundred thousand people as enemies of the Revolutionary Army, the Revolutionary Army instead found itself in trouble.
The Revolutionary Army had, of course, prepared prisons on this island, but there were simply too many of them.
