Starting as a Roger Pirates Apprentice

Chapter 539 Sadgeo: I Want to March into Mary Geoise!

But in reality, this was merely an attempt.

Not only Alabasta, which had once been controlled by Crocodile, but also Dressrosa, whose throne had been usurped by Doflamingo, shared the same idea.

They did not intend to antagonize Orin; rather, it was more like a means of self-preservation, or rather, a way of expressing their stance.

In truth, the true big figures standing at the top of the sea, as well as those capable of seeing future trends, all knew that in the future world, there would only be two people who truly had the final say.

Neither the Yonko, nor the Marines, nor the Revolutionary Army... but the [World Government], which stood at the highest visible seat of authority on the sea, and [Orin], who controlled the lifeline of the world economy, held the reins of the underworld, and possessed power sufficient to overturn the world itself.

And the mastermind behind the scenes who had once plunged their nations into suffering, even bringing them to the brink of destruction, were the great pirates surrounding Orin—the [Shichibukai].

This was a peculiar organization.

Nominally, they were under the jurisdiction of the World Government, used to balance the situation of the seas.

But in reality, they were Orin’s subordinates, evil pirates closely connected to him.

Even though unpleasant incidents had occurred over the past two years, and the Shichibukai were no longer entirely the [Orin’s Shichibukai], now mixed with other pirates like Weevil, they still held the tacit approval and endorsement of both poles of world power.

Even these seemingly powerful World Government member nations, with vast territories and strong national strength, when facing figures like Crocodile and Doflamingo, were weak, only able to be slaughtered and toyed with at will.

This filled them with anger, and even more so, fear.

Especially Dressrosa. With Orin’s immense influence and connections, who knew when that demon Doflamingo might be released from Impel Down again?

They did not believe they had enough influence to ask Orin to restrain his close associates, so they could only settle for the next best option.

Through the World Conference, even if by force, they hoped to make the World Government revoke the privileges and transcendent status of the [Shichibukai], and legally restore full protection of member nations under the World Government.

As for whether this would displease Orin...

These nations, once nearly destroyed by pirates and only recently reborn, had no energy left to consider that. They could only do everything possible to protect themselves.

Whether they succeeded or failed, they had already done their best.

All they could do now was formally propose it once the World Government convened the meeting, and then wait and see...

...

And after Orin left Cake Island, upon receiving a piece of news from the News King, he went to another place to watch the excitement.

New World, an unknown sea region.

Aboard a massive ship of unimaginable size.

Countless individuals of strange and varied races stared at the figure standing at the center of the deck, swallowing nervously in unison.

"This can’t be wrong..."

"It’s actually that great figure..."

"Why would he come aboard our ship!!!"

"This is Noah!!!"

Among them were Fish-Men, Tontatta, Long-Leg Tribe members, Long-Arm Tribe members, Mink Tribe members...

Aside from a very few races, this place was hardly inferior to Totto Land, gathering most of the world’s races in one place.

"What a chaotic mess. Just one glance and it’s overwhelming..."

Orin sat beside an enormous table. Next to him, a young man whose size rivaled Harald’s was holding a sharpened tree trunk, skewering a Sea King and eating it like grilled fish.

He bared his teeth and grinned.

"Don’t say that. They’re all people from all over the world. Every one of them has an incredible adventure story!!!"

Perhaps due to inheriting the personality traits represented by Joy Boy through Luffy, and Rocks through Blackbeard,

Sadgeo treated his crew very well and possessed the awareness expected of a leader and captain.

And these crew members from different races were also conquered by Sadgeo’s strength and ambition, willingly assisting him in becoming the King of the World.

Not long ago, they had fought the Blackbeard Pirates. Although Sadgeo had been besieged by two top-tier Admiral-level and Yonko-level fighters due to Kuzan’s presence, he still broke through the army and escaped.

"Blackbeard... Teach, huh?"

Toward Orin—the man who had created him—Sadgeo’s feelings were complicated.

There was respect, admiration, and also a trace of fear.

And since Orin had come here as a guest, Sadgeo was naturally willing to tell him about how he had gradually grown on the seas over these days.

As Sadgeo’s fame continued to rise, countless strange races across the seas either joined him out of admiration or sought his protection.

After all, Sadgeo’s reputation was far better than Linlin’s. He did not arbitrarily steal people’s lifespans.

Each of these strange races had their own specialized combat methods.

Fish-Men excelled in underwater combat. Minks could use small-scale lightning. The Long-Leg Tribe specialized in kicking techniques...

Among them were quite a few talented individuals with solid mastery of Haki.

They sailed through the New World while waging battles in all directions.

Due to territorial conflicts, as well as the natural incompatibility between people of the same type—just like Luffy—they had recently clashed with Blackbeard.

Through the seagulls’ on-site footage and Sadgeo’s personal account, Orin roughly understood what had happened.

In simple terms:

In the New World’s former Whitebeard territory, now belonging to Yonko Blackbeard, Sadgeo’s crew fought the Blackbeard Pirates.

Facing those members of the Blackbeard Pirates with bizarre Devil Fruit abilities, Sadgeo’s multi-race crew also utilized their racial advantages.

Devil Fruits versus racial abilities—the battle quickly reached a stalemate.

Meanwhile, Sadgeo alone faced Blackbeard Teach and Kuzan.

Sadgeo still remembered Blackbeard’s pale green and white expression when he saw that Sadgeo also possessed the power of the Dark-Dark Fruit.

And Kuzan, caught between two Dark-Dark Fruit users, had no opportunity at all to use his Ice-Ice Fruit powers.

However, Sadgeo did not understand why Kuzan fought him as if harboring deep hatred, exerting himself unusually hard and causing him considerable trouble.

Fortunately, with the physique of the Ancient Giant combined with Ryuo Armament Haki, Sadgeo was still able to handle Blackbeard and Kuzan, who relied purely on physical combat.

After an intense clash, neither side could determine a victor, and both eventually withdrew, ending the battle.

And just as the war had ended, before the newspapers even had time to publish and spread the news, Orin had already arrived.

As for why Orin had come, the reason was simple.

Sadgeo believed he had gained enough experience in the New World.

And now, taking advantage of the time during the World Conference, he was preparing to launch an attack on Mary Geoise!!!
