With Rocio's guidance, Sager quickly learned about the situation on the island.
The town on the island is called Mogu Town, and it is indeed a town where pirates gather. Although it only takes four days to fully charge the magnetic force here, many pirates will stay here for a long time, and it even becomes a stronghold.
As a pirate town, the probability of being captured by the navy here is very small, and the looted items can also be exchanged through local black market merchants and then poured into the gold-spending den of Mogu Town.
Or to be more precise, this town was formed by these pirates who spend money like water. It is suitable for those pirates who are extravagant and only know how to have fun.
The town may not look very good, but when it comes to consumption and enjoyment, it's pretty good.
Coincidentally, Sager is also a guy who knows how to enjoy life, and he is not stingy at all in this regard.
Money is used to accomplish a purpose.
Whether being a local landlord or enjoying pleasure, it is all the same goal.
It's one thing to snatch, one thing to spend, and Sager is not ambiguous at all.
What is the difference between money that cannot be spent and waste paper?
"Master Sager, this is the best hotel in Mogu Town."
Rocio humbly led the way in front and came to a villa complex near the sea. This place covers a large area, with buildings everywhere, and there are various restaurants on the first floor. There is also a ladder near the sea, which can be used as a swimming pool directly in the sea.
Sager nodded and looked at the sign at the door, which had a line of words on it. "Well, not bad, this is called..."
"Tropical Hotel." Lily took over at the right time.
"Guest, guest"
A short, fat fellow with a turban on his head, who looked like an Indian, came over rubbing his hands. He was talking while shaking his legs and twitching his head.
"Guests want to stay here? That's really a good idea. Our hotel is the best tropical hotel in Magic Valley Town, Natural Disaster?!"
The guy was just halfway through his sentence when he saw Sager's face and said in surprise, "Sa, Uncle Sager."
"Hahaha, you're funny. Yes, the one who spends money is the boss!"
Sager waved his hand and said, "I'll take over your hotel. You'll supply the food. Prepare as many meals as there are people. I'll also need ingredients for a hundred people. Money is not a problem. Can you do it?"
"I can do it. Uncle Sager, leave it to me!" The boss, who looked like an Indian, didn't even twitch his head or legs.
"Can we recruit a group of people to sing and dance?" Sager continued to ask.
"this."
The boss hesitated and said tremblingly: "Uncle Sager, there is no such thing in Mogu Town. They are all pirates."
"Lord Sager, I can do this."
Rocio said quickly, "In Demon Valley Town, as long as the news spreads, there will be as many people who want to join your pirate group as you want, and there will definitely be female pirates."
Sager glanced at him and said, "Okay, I'll leave it to you, Ajin."
"Captain Sager." Ajin came closer.
"Take him with you and talk about some rules. Okay, get out." Sager waved his hand.
"Rocio, right? I'm the combat captain of the Calamity Pirates. You will follow me from now on." Ajin said to Rocío.
"'Ghost Man' Ajin?"
Rocio glanced at Ajin and said unconvincedly, "Lord Sager, I follow you because I admire you, but the bounty on Ajin, the 'ghost man', is only 35 million Baileys, while mine is 42 million!"
Hearing this, Sager narrowed his eyes and glanced over.
With just one glance, Rocio stood still immediately. Even in this storm, cold sweat flowed from his forehead, mixing with the rain.
Sager retracted his gaze and ignored Rocio, turning around and walking into the villa, "Hey, I want the biggest room."
"Yes, Uncle Sager!" The boss ran in.
In the square, the men who followed them formed a circle spontaneously, allowing Ajin and Rocio to confront each other.
"The bounty doesn't represent everything. As the captain, I have an obligation to test your strength. I originally wanted to do it some time later, but since you asked, let's do it now."
Ajin did not even take out the combat crutches from his waist, and said to Rocio, "If you defeat me, you will be qualified to be above me. Come on, no matter what means you use, guns, cannons, swords, or your fists, attack me."
"Damn it, you actually look down on me!"
Rocio roared, clenched his fists, moved closer quickly, and punched him.
He is good at using guns, but it is raining, so guns cannot be used. However, in terms of physical fitness, he is not weak.
The guy in front of him was skinny and not strong at first glance. It was obvious that he got this bounty only because he followed Lord Sager.
He would definitely replace a guy of this level!
Rocio's fist smashed straight at him, but Ajin turned his head slightly and just turned to the side, saying lightly: "Continue."
"hateful!"
Rocio swung his fist again, but it still missed. He then kicked his legs and attacked again, but no matter how he attacked, Ajin easily dodged it.
It was just an ordinary dodge, not even using 'Paper Art'.
Until he threw another punch, Ajin stood still and let the punch hit his face.
Bang.
The fist moved Ajin's face a little to the side, and a stream of blood flowed from the corner of his mouth.
Rocio showed a look of joy, "You, you feel the pain, don't you?"
Bang!
But at this moment, his face, which was full of joy, froze, his mouth slowly opened, and his body bent backwards.
A fist was deeply embedded in his abdomen.
He took two steps back, covered his abdomen with his hands, and pretended to retch, but did not fall down.
Ajin spat out and said, "He's quite strong and has decent resistance to blows, better than the average subordinate, but this level is not worth 42 million. Even the old me is far superior to him."
Forty-two million?
Krieg only had sixteen million.
In his eyes, Krieg is much stronger than this guy.
This price is exaggerated.
What happened to the Grand Line?
The intensity of the voyage has changed. Will the bounty for the pirates here also increase?
No wonder Captain Sager felt the bounties on the officers weren't high enough.
"Are you convinced?" Ajin asked.
"Yes, Master Ajin." Rocio spoke slowly, suppressing the pain.
"Not bad, not a guy who can't stand losing." Ajin nodded slowly, "Then let's go, walk around this Magic Valley Town, collect some information, and see if there are any suitable pirates."
Whether or not he would truly surrender was something that Ajin never cared about, and neither did Captain Sager.
After all, he is not an officer, just a pirate.
Just follow the rules.
Whether the bounty is high or not has no effect on the Scourge Pirates.
Here, either one is noticed by Captain Sager, or one is strong enough to be noticed by Captain Sager. There is no weak one among them.
This guy doesn't touch anything.
Being a small boss should be okay.
That night, in the stormy weather, Sager requisitioned all the space on the first floor of the hotel, temporarily converted it into a makeshift restaurant, and entertained his men.
"Cheers to our new recruits!"
Sager was in a restaurant, holding up a glass of wine, and his voice echoed throughout the hotel.
"oh!!"
The men raised their glasses and cheered.
Including the "executioner" Rocio and more than 60 of his men, all of them were recruited by Sager.
As for recruiting new subordinates, that is still in progress.
Not all subordinates can be brought here immediately. The reason Rocio was able to come here is purely because Sager felt that he was the first one to join and he was in a good mood.
I haven't recruited any subordinates yet. I'm just releasing the news today. I'll start recruiting tomorrow when I've gathered enough talent.
But I did know some information about Rocio.
Because he is dangerous and crazy, in addition to liking to hang people, he also likes to chase people. If he wins, it's okay, but if he loses, he will definitely pester them until he gets revenge, so there are crazy rumors.
In comparison, he seemed to be a calm person.
But there are guys like this everywhere in the Disaster Pirates.
Not worth mentioning.
"No one wants to dance. Hey, Ah San, go dance!"
Sager picked up a stack of Baileys and threw it on the boss's face, saying, "The more you jump, the more rewards you get!"
"Yes, yes!"
Although he didn't know what Ah San meant, the boss didn't feel angry at all. First, it was because of Sager's reputation, and second, he gave too much!
Under the heavy rain, Ah San danced clumsily and funny in the rain, making Sager laugh.
…
The storm continued until the next morning, when it finally stopped due to the spring weather on this island.
Early in the morning, the boss prepared the ingredients, and Marika personally made breakfast for a hundred people, filling the entire long dining table.
"Lily, bring that roast suckling pig over here. Yes, dip it in sugar."
"Marika, bring that chicken stew over there."
"Letty, what are you eating? Roasted pork elbow? Give me one!"
Sager sat at the head of the table, pointing at the food that he couldn't reach because the table was too long.
His arms weren't long, so did he have to stand up to eat?
He didn't want a man to serve him, and he hadn't found a woman to serve him yet, so he could only let Lily and the others take over for now.
How can a rich local landlord get by without being able to order people around?
Marika's cooking skills are very good. Although the ingredients here are not top-notch, they are still fine products. One hundred completely different dishes are served, which makes the Indian boss' eyes light up. If this person was not a wanted criminal with a bounty of up to 80 million and was really dangerous, he would have wanted to poach her with a high salary.
The meal took nearly an hour, and all the food went into Sag's stomach. After eating, of course, it was free time for vacation.
"Get in the water!"
Wearing a floral swimsuit dress and a swimming ring, Letty jumped directly into the sea.
Then she collapsed on the swimming ring and let the undulating blue sea carry her.
With more than half of his body immersed in sea water, of course he had no strength left. After all, he was still a child, and it was impossible for him to exert strength in the water.
"Sager, do you want to get in the water too?" Renetia said weakly, "Swimming is fun."
"Do you want to be eaten by a sea king?" Sager rolled his eyes. "I'll go get the fishing rod. I don't believe I won't catch any fish today!"
"It's ready for you."
As soon as he finished speaking, a tender white arm reached out.
Sager turned his head and saw Lily standing behind him with a fishing rod in one hand and a bucket in the other.
She tied her sun-like wavy blonde hair into a ponytail and wore a white one-piece swimsuit. Her straight and slender thighs sparkled in the sun, and although her chest was completely covered, it had a different kind of charm because of its grand scale.
It looked like a big jelly wrapped in a white package.
"Ah, are we going fishing again?" Marika came over and said, "Captain, you better do your best today."
Marika's outfit was much bolder than Lily's. She wore a high-cut swimsuit with only two strips of cloth covering her full body, revealing a figure that was in no way inferior to Lily's.
Lily is a tight type and has a large size, while Marika is also quite large but has a bit more fleshiness.
As for Renetia, she is just a little girl!
What is she thinking?
"Go, go, go and have some fun. Don't disturb me while I'm fishing."
Sager took the fishing rod and bucket, took out bag of bait from the bucket, found a spot on the sea, unpacked the bait, and scattered it one bag after another like rain.
His force spread directly to the distant sea surface, creating ripples.
Lily pursed her lips and couldn't help but said, "Sager, the fish will be full this way."
"You know shit!"
Sager gritted his teeth and said, "This is called making a nest. If you spread too much bait, fish will gather. When the fish eat the bait, they will also bite my hook. Then there will be fish on the hook!"
As he spoke, he swung the fishing rod forward, and the long line with the baited hook fell into the sea where the bait was sprinkled.
"Just wait, I will definitely catch some fish this time. With my luck in starting a business, I can definitely do it!"
He had already robbed the money, and with it he was able to live a fairly luxurious life. Compared to his previous days when he was unable to do anything, Sager was full of confidence.
It's just a failure, just try again!
"Sager, you said the same thing last time."
Renitia was picked up from the water by Marika. She shook off the water on her body and was put down again. She regained some strength and said, "Why don't I help you fish? They are all fish anyway. If it doesn't work, I can fry them."
"That's nothing!"
Sager glared at her and said, "Fishing is only rewarding if you catch it from the rod. Don't I know how to fry fish?"
In fact, even if he wanted to fry the fish, as soon as he had this thought, the fish would become Schrödinger's fish, as if it had the ability to see and hear, and would disappear immediately.
But that doesn't matter, Sager just wants to pick up his former glory as the fishing king.
In a high-rise building in the town, this place was used by the Demon Valley Town for playing cards and gambling, and it also had some tavern facilities. At this time, Rocio was temporarily using it as a recruitment ground. He was half lying on the sofa, with two of his men, staring at the ferocious pirates standing in front of him.
But in front of Rocio, these pirates were still a little weak.
He is the "Executioner" Rocio, a crazy guy in Mogu Town, and no pirate can afford to mess with him.
Not to mention.
"Natural disaster! A great pirate with a bounty of 420 million, Lord Sager wants to recruit new members!"
Rocio smiled grimly, "You probably all know the news from yesterday. Lord Sage is at the Tropical Inn now. I was lucky enough to be invited to a banquet by Lord Sage yesterday. I have already drunk the wine of acceptance. If you want to be like me, then show your strength!"
The people standing all showed expressions of excitement and yearning.
It's not to say that all pirates are opportunists. Of course, there are some pirates who only like to be captains and won't be inferior to others, but more pirates will still look for stronger and more famous ones.
Not only the captain, but also not everyone of the captain's men is loyal.
Pirates are free, and it is not uncommon for some to temporarily disembark when they arrive at a place. If they find a more powerful existence along the way and want to work for someone with a higher reputation, there will be many people flocking to do so.
In the Magic Valley Town where the average income is less than 20 million and 40 million is enough to scare people into silence, Sager's reputation is terrifying.
Yesterday alone, a large number of pirates stayed away from the Tropical Hotel and didn't even dare to approach where Sager lived.
Of course, there were those who tried to make a name for themselves, but a lot of them were dealt with by Rocio yesterday.
This guy is not even as good as Miot in the Calamity Pirates, but he is still stronger than the average person, much stronger.
If a small person wants to be noticed by those in a higher class, there is no other way except to behave well.
Rocio might not be that loyal, but Sager never cared about that. Loyalty is always a two-way thing.
If you don't reach a certain level and can't attract Sager's attention, don't even mention loyalty or disloyalty.
"Me, Rocio! You know me!"
A pirate with a bounty of 20 million said enthusiastically, "It is also my dream to work for a man like Lord Sager. I will lead 53 of my pirates to join!"
"And me, I'm Reginald the Lion, the bounty is 26 million, and I'm joining with my entire group!"
"Me too!"
"Lord Rocio, I want to join too!"
The pirates gathered in this tavern shouted loudly, and a rough count showed that there were no less than seven pirate groups.
If the total number of people in the group is included, there are at least 400 people.
In an instant, most of the personnel given by Lord Sager were replenished.
This feeling of being sought after, even if he is not the subject, makes Rocio intoxicated.
He is also a member of the Scourge Pirates now!
Rocio waved his hand and laughed, "Then everyone come join us. Lord Sager will hold a banquet in the evening. Let's go together, drink the acceptance wine, and serve Lord Sager together from now on!"
"Oh!!" the pirates in the tavern shouted excitedly.
Bang!
The door at the entrance was kicked open, and a man in a captain's uniform strode in. He had blond hair and a small scar above his right eye. He had a ferocious look on his face and licked his tongue as he walked in.
"It's so noisy!"
He looked around and laughed hoarsely: "Isn't this a place for gambling? When did it become a gathering place for scum?"
"You bastard."
One pirate looked over unkindly, but soon his eyes widened, "Bellamy?"
Hyena, Bellamy.
The bounty is 55 million Baileys!
He is here too!
At the same time, at the Tropical Hotel, the three people who had had enough fun had gone ashore and changed into new clothes.
Marika went to prepare some refreshments, and Renetia lay bored on the lounge chair, basking in the rare sunshine.
Lily stood beside Sager, her left hand resting on the hilt of her sword, watching Sager and the fishing rod standing still like a sculpture, looking at the calm sea, and said,
"Sager, it's been two hours."
"You have to be calm when fishing, it's also a kind of meditation! If you want to fish, take the rod and go to the other side, don't bother me!" Sag roared with veins bulging on his forehead.
Which calmed down
"Got it, got it!"
Suddenly, Sager felt the fishing line stretched straight, a gleam of light flashed in his eyes, and he pulled it upwards quickly, and the fishing line was stretched even further.
"You still want to hinder me? Who do you think I am?"
Sager's hands showed a domineering aura as they wrapped around the fishing rod and went straight to the fishing line, making the material of the fishing line extremely tough.
He quickly pulled it up and said excitedly: "Look, Lily, I tell you, failure is not terrible. As long as you have perseverance, you will definitely catch it."
Pah!
The sea surface splashed, and something pulled by the fishing line jumped out of the water and caught everyone's eyes.
"The rudder!"
Bang!
Sager was so angry that he used a Sky-breaking Killing Technique to smash the rudder of the boat where the fishhook was hanging.
He stood up, broke the fishing rod with a knee, looked at the blue sea, his eyes twitched, a black line appeared in his eyes, and he subconsciously took a step forward.
"Forget it, Sager, forget it." Lily quickly hugged his arms and buried them in her deep ravines. The movement made her chest feel like the sea, surging and bouncing.
This requires Sager to go down.
He finally caught the fish.
But the goals may be different.
Fish are eaten, and sea kings are also eaten.
But there will be a slight change depending on who takes it in the middle.
"Hey, whoever booked the hotel before us, get out of here!"
At this moment, a voice came from the door behind, and a group of people rushed in. The leader shouted,
"Otherwise we will kill you. We are the Bellamy Pirates!"
"ah?"
Sager, who was about to go into the sea in anger, raised his eyebrows and looked back gloomily,
"Who is it?"
