After sending the troublesome fellow away, Good felt much more relaxed. He summoned Speed and asked, "What have the Red Hair Pirates been doing?"
"Red Hair is still in Elbaf."
Speed reported with a smile, "According to the news from over there, Red Hair has recalled the flags he handed out. The captains under him are already in chaos."
"Good, leave them alone."
Good smiled.
With this great victory behind him, he had no intention of letting the Red Hair Pirates off. Destroying them would be too difficult, but driving them away was possible.
He would not allow Red Hair to stay in the New World!
Red Hair also knew when to back down.
Since Red Hair had recalled his flags, his next move would inevitably be to leave the New World and temporarily distance himself from the maelstrom of war.
That would be good for both sides!
Good pondered for a moment, then said, "Send a construction crew to Gottel Island immediately. Build a small fortress to the same standards as Hachinosu!"
"Also, raise the Beasts Pirates' flag on the resource-rich islands under Red Hair. Leave the other islands that lack value alone."
Since Red Hair did not intend to fight again, they needed to carve up his territory as quickly as possible. While the Beasts Pirates took the meat, they could leave a little broth for the other powers to lap up.
Good thought for a moment and added, "Contact Stussy. Have her send professionals to assess the resources in our new territory and draw up a development plan."
"Yes, I'll arrange it right away."
Speed turned and left.
Good went to the window and looked out at the busy port.
The new year had barely begun, and the Beasts Pirates had already shaken the New World. By
