Achieving Nothing, I Can Only Be the Pirate King-Chapter 636 - 378: The Three Supreme Chiefs

Weevil, who had fallen several times, wasn’t getting up this time.

He lay there on the ground, looking at the decapitated Buckin in front of him, and burst into tears:

"Mom! I can’t avenge you, sob sob sob sob! Dad, I can’t inherit your legacy either! This guy’s despicable, Dad!"

Sage returned to normal, picking up the photo that had fallen from his embrace when he was struck earlier.

The photo showed a young Whitebeard, wearing a captain’s hat, with wavy golden hair flowing under the brim, his crescent-shaped mustache curling upwards, exuding a commanding presence.

"As impressive as ever."

Sage recalled the elderly Whitebeard and chuckled lightly, then walked over to Weevil and placed the photo in front of him.

"Huh? A mirror?" Weevil froze.

"What is your father’s legacy?" Sage asked.

"That’s right, that’s my dad! Mom, the disaster really confirmed it! Mom... no, she’s dead!"

Weevil’s eyes turned red once again, glaring at Sage.

"It’s uncertain whether that old woman is your mom. She was beautiful in her youth, and Whitebeard was no less impressive, but using these two as a template wouldn’t produce a son like you."

Sage said, "You might have been created using Whitebeard as a template; it’s plausible. I admit you’re Whitebeard’s son, but that old woman is definitely not your mom. Killing a stranger, there’s no need for such hatred towards me."

Whitebeard’s biological son?

That’s hard to say.

At least genetically, that’s not how it works.

Looking at genetics, Monkey D. Luffy resembles his grandfather quite a bit, and Ace resembles Gol D. Roger a lot, inheriting facial features from his mother.

Sage and Robin have blood ties, and they also resemble each other greatly.

If it were by birth, Weevil would absolutely not only have a mustache but also not resemble Edward Newgate nor Buckin.

But his strength is undeniably strong.

He remembered that the old woman had a clone or something, though he forgot the name.

Few on the sea know this technology, but since the old woman had access to it, it’s possible that Weevil is a modified human.

However, it doesn’t really matter.

Sage values the battle power.

"You’re lying. How could my mom not be my mom! She loves me the most! She would definitely lead me to find my dad’s legacy!" Weevil shouted.

"Is that so? But your mom doesn’t know where the legacy is; I do!"

"Huh?!"

"I know where Whitebeard’s legacy is; it’s within my territory."

Sage smiled, "And everything within my territory belongs to me. That island will soon be found by me. You can’t beat me, so that so-called legacy will be mine, right?"

Weevil thought for a moment and nodded in agreement.

Indeed, he can’t beat Sage.

Nor can he protect the legacy.

"I can give you this legacy as long as you pledge allegiance to me."

Sage glanced at the broken naginata and said, "Including your dad’s weapon, one of the Twelve Supreme Grade Blades, ’Murakumogiri’."

"Mu, Murakumogiri!"

Weevil’s eyes sparkled as he nodded earnestly, "So that’s the name! I asked my mom before... no, not mom; she told me not to care, as long as there’s treasure it’s enough. But I still prefer dad’s weapon. You’re really a good person!"

Two sentences convinced him.

Because he thought Sage’s words made sense.

He really doesn’t resemble Buckin.

And Buckin indeed doesn’t know the legacy.

But Sage knows, and he admits Weevil is Whitebeard’s son!

Weevil is a bit silly, but not incapable of thinking.

He just respects and loves his mom, and dealing with Whitebeard’s Remnants was his mom’s command, facing his dad’s subordinates, he was just angry they didn’t recognize him as Whitebeard’s son, leading to his aggression.

Sage is different; he is a Great Pirate!

If he acknowledges it, it must be convincing! So everything Sage does is right!

Weevil climbed up despite his injuries, allowing his snot to drip, saying dumbly, "Then I’ll join you; don’t lie to me, or I’ll get angry."

"Who do you think I am? I wouldn’t stoop to petty lies. Follow me, I’ll lead you there. Under my rule, that island can stay safe."

Sage chuckled and turned towards Hawkins, "Old Hawkins, set sail. Urouge, continue what you haven’t finished here."

He actually remembered this matter.

For treasures and artifacts, Sage has always been attentive.

Previously, he was busy for survival, many things he couldn’t consider. Since things have slowed down recently, he’s started recalling issues regarding treasures.

Like Buckin, Sage thought Whitebeard, as one of the Four Emperors, now deceased, where are the treasures he seized over the years?

Certainly not as poor as some guy.

That type, as Pirates are poor, retired even poorer.

Whitebeard isn’t that type.

Then he recalled, seemingly on some island, with one of the Supreme Grade Blades.

This aligns with information from the summit, confirmation attained.

After the summit, Red Hair took away Whitebeard and Fire Fist’s corpses, along with the weapon.

Whitebeard’s naginata was one of the Twelve Supreme Grade Blades, ’Murakumogiri’!

Because of the size difference, Sage couldn’t use it, and he also didn’t like naginatas, nor was he interested in tachis.

Honestly saying, he was quite interested in Napoleon held by Big Mom.

As a Pirate, of course curved swords are the choice.

He felt the benefits of Homiez; given the chance, he’d definitely rob from that old woman!

"Hmm... the shortfall’s made up."

Sage withdrew his thoughts and suddenly laughed, "Got everything needed, few now can stop me!"

Lily is steadily growing, advancing every day, becoming stronger.

Moriah is gradually recovering; in a few months, Haki might reach its former peak.

However, these two, one handling territory matters, the other on Vice Island managing affairs, sometimes hunkering down there, his shut-in nature is unchangeable.

Sage didn’t pursue that rigorously, as long as orders are followed; their freedom for personal activities.

But he always felt lacking someone for the thick of battle, like Jack under Kaido, Cracker under Big Mom.

Though the subordinates are decent, not enough as iconic figures.

Now he has it, and the battle power isn’t weak, might serve temporarily as a Supreme Officer, realizing Sage’s long-conceived ’Three Phases’.

A Pirate Emperor ought to have three iconic subordinates, Sage mustn’t lack this.

Holding Whitebeard’s territory, there’s still some troublesome folks; Hawkins encountering problems shouldn’t have Sage always coming or sending Lily and Moriah.

With someone specialized in offensive, Sage’s long-desired supplement resolved.

As for Weevil’s faults...

No real faults.

Though he holds some fondness for Zephyr, more from respect towards past starchers, fundamentally he is a Pirate, and Weevil is a Pirate too.

Chopping off Zephyr’s hand and such, for Sage, it’s insignificant.

Contrarily, such sincere and obedient individuals are most useful.

In Disaster Pirates, genuinely obedient like hounds exist.

In officer ranks, there’s Bellamy; in high-ranking officer ranks, there’s Gin.

Now an individual as strong as a Seven Warlords of the Sea has arrived, fitting into ’Three Phases’ as a good obedient hound.

In each officer tier, everything filled out, nothing bad about it.

"Now the World Government has lost face again. Sage, you’ve consecutively recruited two Seven Warlords of the Sea." Hawkins commented nearby.

"Who cares about them? If they’re not pleased, let them come find me!"

Sage grinned widely, "Only fear they don’t have the guts!"
