Chapter 54 Post-War Events
"Oh, you should ask them."
Asie stopped running, panting heavily.
"While you were sleeping, they went to wipe out the remaining nobles."
"They just contacted us an hour ago, saying they've wiped out all the nobles in the western part of the island and are now resting in Batam, preparing to continue their siege of the nobles in the eastern part of the island tomorrow."
"Oh, I remember now."
Kaido nodded in realization.
"We were wiping out the remaining nobles on the island before we started fighting Garin and his men."
After that battle, everyone was so exhausted that they went back to the palace to rest, and temporarily put aside the matter of eliminating the nobles.
What is the current casualty situation?
Kaido asked with a hint of concern.
These thousand-plus people are the only core members of the Beasts Pirates at present.
It's truly heartbreaking to see so many deaths and injuries.
Of course, it's still the same.
Even if it pains him to see them suffer, Kaido would never put them in an ivory tower to protect them.
Kaido wants to form a pirate crew that can withstand the enemy's naval warfare tactics in the future.
It's unrealistic to expect everyone to reach the general level.
They should at least be able to achieve a 1:1 kill ratio with the elite forces of the Navy Headquarters.
Therefore, the battles that low-level pirates must experience are inevitable, even if it means death.
Otherwise, they are destined not to be able to train the strong army that Kaido wants.
Asie paused for a moment to think, then replied, "According to Longbread, the casualties are completely under control."
"And in my personal opinion, there shouldn't be much loss."
"Because the fight you had in the southern waters three days ago terrified many people."
"It is said that many nobles in the noble alliance in the eastern part of the island have secretly fled."
"Even the Navy's 396th branch, I heard, has abandoned its base and withdrawn all its personnel."
"Furthermore, with Longbread personally overseeing the operation, there shouldn't be any unexpected incidents."
Kaido nodded slightly, then asked with some doubt, "The Navy's 396th branch withdrew directly?!"
Without saying another word, Asie went straight to the rest area of the training ground, picked up the newspaper he had prepared beforehand, and handed it to Kaido.
"You slept for two days and three nights straight. It's the third day after the war. The newspapers are already out. Take a look for yourselves."
Kaido shrunk in size and took the newspaper from Asie to examine it.
[With Lieutenant General Zephyr's defeat and death, is the fate of the Kingdom of Bessel truly sealed?!]
"Huh?! What does this have to do with Zephyr?"
"That guy was completely OMO the whole time. Not only did he not fight, but he also freeloaded two meals off me..."
Kaido looked puzzled, then began to examine the details below the title.
After reading it, he couldn't help but burst out laughing.
"Zeff is really unlucky. He didn't do anything, but he's the scapegoat. Ugh..."
The newspaper article was very simple.
In this earth-shattering battle in the waters south of Haworth Island, the naval commander-in-chief responsible for providing support was Zephyr.
Because they were no match for Kaido and Charlotte Linlin's combined forces, the Bessel Kingdom was completely taken over by pirates, blah blah blah...
The entire text makes no mention of Garin or Sengoku.
Of course, Kaido could understand the reasons why the World Government and the Navy did this.
Needless to say, Karin is a member of the Knights of God, and his existence cannot be known to outsiders.
Sengoku is currently the only admiral in the navy.
His role is actually the same as Garp's; he cannot afford to lose.
Even a draw is not allowed!
It will not be allowed for at least the next year or two.
Otherwise, it would severely damage the current global public opinion that favors the navy.
Therefore, Zefa, who participated in the operation, became the only suitable scapegoat.
Of course, strictly speaking, Zephyr should indeed take the blame.
Who told him to be completely OMO (Online-Merge-Offline) throughout?
If you don't contribute during the battle, you'll naturally have to start contributing after the battle.
Along with the newspaper, bounty posters for Kaido and others were also updated; Asie had prepared them for Kaido long ago.
[Azure Dragon Kaido - Bounty 1.424 billion Berries!]
【Dragon Knight Charlotte Linlin - Bounty 18 Billion Berries!】
[Selene, the Sword Maiden - Bounty: 9900 million Berries!]
[The Godfather Capone Sonny - Bounty 3300 million Berry!]
The bounty for Longbread hasn't been updated; it's still $490 million.
"Wow, it's gone up quite a bit."
Kaido held Selene's bounty poster in his hand, which showed her facing off against Zephyr with her sword drawn.
"I didn't expect Selene to have a bounty on his head, but his surname has been hidden, which is probably Garin's doing."
Kaido casually put down the newspaper and the bounty poster, leaned back in the chair in the rest area, closed his eyes, looked up at the sky, and gently pinched the soft flesh between his eyes with two fingers.
"Let me think about it..."
"After this battle, the navy will most likely not bother us anymore. We can completely occupy Haworth Island, establish a new country, and enjoy at least five years of peace..."
"The task of suppressing the nobles can continue to be handled by Longbread and Sunny. The more troublesome issue is how to manage this island afterward... There's a lack of management personnel..."
"The entire island, including the three main cities and two riverside economic zones, cannot be touched in the short term. We still need to rely on them to generate income. At the same time, other land also needs to be reclaimed on a large scale..."
"If all the other wasteland could be reclaimed into fertile fields, the grain produced could feed at least three to four million people. If the cultivation is meticulous and the seeds are of good quality, feeding tens of millions of people would not be a problem..."
Kaido sat up straight and opened his eyes.
"There are many things to do and many problems to solve, but the most urgent task right now is..."
"Asie!!"
Kaido's shout instantly roused Asie, who was standing right next to him.
"Kaido, what do you want me to do?"
"Lingling and Selene are pregnant with my child."
"Huh? What did you say?"
Asie blinked, then paused slightly in surprise.
His expression showed some surprise, but at the same time he remained very calm.
"I said, Lingling and Selene are both pregnant with my children, I'm going to be a father!!"
Kaido repeated it again.
"Oh, oh~" Asie said with a smile, "Congratulations on becoming a father."
"..."
Kaido was speechless for a moment.
Why are you so calm?
“Because…” Asie thought for a moment and replied, “I wouldn’t be cheering, jumping for joy, or screaming with surprise, would I? Isn’t that what you should be doing?”
Kaido was silent for a moment, then realized that it made a lot of sense.
He then transformed into a blue dragon and soared into the sky, flying rapidly towards Batam in the south.
He's going to find Sonny.
It's not for showing off.
Rather, it was for the various channels and connections that Sonny, the former godfather of the Capone family, possessed.
The establishment of the new country and the recruitment of workers are just some of the many things that need to be done, and right now, Sonny is probably the only one who can really help him.
