As Lind prepared to return to Oran Island, the officers he had sent out with separate forces began rejoining him.
Compared to Lind's rather leisurely trip to the Flower Country, the other officers had been incredibly busy.
Every day, they were either plundering estates and destroying nations or on their way to do so.
Every ship was loaded with all kinds of gold, silver, and jewels, treasures collected by royalty and nobles.
During the last few days, the fleet ran out of room, and the captains even began handing out some of the less valuable treasures to the local civilians.
Clearly, the pirates in Lind's division had been heavily influenced by him. What pirates outside his command would do something so thankless?
As the officers regrouped, Lind learned the results of their expedition to the West Blue.
After Lind defeated Red Tiger, the grand fleet had split into six groups, with Lind heading to the Flower Country.
The other five fleets had all carried out his orders to destroy nations.
Over the past two weeks, including travel time, each fleet had maintained a pace of destroying one nation every three to five days.
In just two weeks, the five fleets had destroyed a total of twenty World Government Member States.
It had not seemed so bad until he counted them up. Suddenly, the result felt terrifying. He wondered how the other expedition forces had fared, and whether things had gone as smoothly for them.
If each force had destroyed twenty World Government Member States, this operation would have nearly halved the number of nations affiliated with the World Government.
One more operation like this, and the World Government would practically exist in name only.
Shaking his head, Lind decided he was getting ahead of himself. Things had gone so smoothly
