After hearing Rocks's plan, Lind could already imagine the bloodbath it would unleash.
There was no telling how many people would lose their lives in this operation.
Although he felt some pity, Lind had not actually witnessed those future scenes, so it was hard for him to truly grasp them. Pity was all he felt.
Lind had no intention of persuading Rocks to change the plan, either. He knew perfectly well that he carried too little weight to change Rocks's mind.
Or rather, this was simply how pirates in this world operated. The officers present largely approved of Rocks's plan.
Many of them even looked excited.
Lind sighed inwardly.
He decided to take a gentler approach in the affiliated nations assigned to him. At the very least, he would not drag civilians into it.
As for the royal families and nobles, Lind was no fool. Apart from the few who were both poor and well regarded, he would not spare them.
In fact, Lind already had his eye on the wealth in their hands. This operation should bring him quite a few more Devil Fruits.
At the same time, Lind intended to try persuading some of the other officers, such as Whitebeard, to follow his example.
They should avoid harming civilians as much as possible during the operation. Wiping out the royal families and nobles would be enough, and would still net them plenty of wealth.
Lind figured that Whitebeard, who had lived through a pirate massacre as a child, would probably agree with him and do his best to keep his pirates in line.
As for the other officers, Lind sighed inwardly and held out little hope.
They were all bloodthirsty pirates. Once Lind had enough power and influence, they might well become targets of his own purges.
