Chapter 275 The Pirate Crew's Personal Courtesan and the New Bounty
Chapter 275 The Pirate Crew's Personal Courtesan and the New Bounty
"Apart from Breya, cut down the other two."
Kaido's trial was cold and ruthless, leaving Sera and Yalma, who were prepared to hurl insults, momentarily stunned.
After all, according to the information they had, Kaido, although not exactly a lecherous monster, would have no reason not to take advantage of such beautiful women, especially since they were Celestial Dragons.
They were all ready; Kaido was going to forcibly take them into his harem. They cursed at Kaido, hoping to arouse his desire to conquer.
Then, at the moment when Kaido's guard was at its lowest when he was in the same room with them, they killed him, leaving him childless.
And now... they're actually going to kill them?!
"Well, this is still much better than being worse than dead."
A relieved smile appeared on Yalma's face.
"As members of the Knights of God, death is our destiny!"
Although Sera, who was standing to the side, was even more afraid of death than she was, death seemed more dignified than becoming Kaido's sex object.
Besides the two of them being somewhat surprised by Kaido's decision, some members of the Beast Pirates were also quite astonished.
For example, Quinn.
"Kaido... Boss Kaido! You're really going to cut them down?! Aren't you going to add them to your harem?!"
Kaido glanced at Queen.
"As a woman with the courage and ability to kill children, do you think that sparing their lives and making them part of my harem will make them give up this idea?!"
"But...but..."
Quinn wanted to argue a bit more, but he couldn't seem to find a reasonable argument, and in the end he could only sigh helplessly.
"What a pity, such beautiful women..."
"Hmm...Is it a pity? Why don't you take them in?"
Kaido suddenly changed the subject, and said with a smile:
"They're not just beautiful, they're also noble Celestial Dragons! Conquering them is like conquering the world, it's on a whole different level of pleasure compared to ordinary women!!"
Upon hearing this, a fiery glint flashed in Quinn's eyes, and he couldn't help but lick his lips.
Vegapunk, Judge, and Caesar, who were there to report on various matters and watch the trial, couldn't help but swallow hard.
This was also unsurprising for Malcolm and several other mid-level managers.
But in the end, none of them dared to actually say, "Leave them to me."
Not wanting, but not dare.
Kaido has already given the reason, but another aspect is their instinctive fear of the Celestial Dragons.
Seeing his subordinates' pathetic state, Kaido, who had only been joking, couldn't help but frown slightly.
These idiots, they've already fought the World Government to this extent, yet they're still afraid of the Celestial Dragons...
That won't do.
Although as their power grows and a decisive battle breaks out, they will theoretically get rid of this fear naturally, it's better to be safe than sorry.
If, during the final battle, a few fools desert out of fear, causing a mutiny, then even if Kaido ultimately defeats Im, he will definitely have to launch a massive purge.
Thinking about this, Kaido's thoughts changed slightly.
"Wait a moment!!"
Kaido, who had just issued the death sentence order, suddenly stopped the two officers who had come in to drag someone away.
In that instant, everyone's eyes were immediately drawn to Kaido.
"Indeed, as Quinn said, it would be a pity to kill them outright. They are, after all, two Celestial Dragons, and elite beauties among them..."
After a brief pause, Kaido issued his latest judgment.
"Punish them both by making them wear seastone for the rest of their lives and become the pirate crew's personal prostitutes!"
"However, they are Celestial Dragons after all, so they still need to be given some preferential treatment and privileges. Therefore, only members of the executive rank can apply for their services!"
After these two simple sentences were said, an eerie silence fell over the entire conference hall.
Queen's four-man group stared wide-eyed in disbelief, while the others were equally shocked, never expecting that Kaido would have the audacity to issue such an order.
"Heh heh heh, what? Are you still not satisfied with how I've treated you?!"
"No, no...no..."
Queen immediately and frantically declared that he would obey all of Kaido's orders.
However, in reality, no one else spoke except for him.
Oh, not entirely.
After hearing Kaido's new order, Yarma and Sera paused briefly before bursting into a tirade of curses.
Kaido let them curse him, since their fate was already sealed.
Just like Selene, who was kidnapped by him, the Celestial Dragons most likely won't come to ransom her.
The male members might still have a glimmer of hope, but the female members... will basically end up as slaves once they go back.
At most, they are the Knights of God, able to maintain the lowest level of dignity, staying at home and never going out, dying alone.
Therefore, while Yalma and Sera were cursing, Kaido simply replied calmly.
"If you disagree with my judgment, think about those slaves in your holy land. I treat you much better than they do!!"
Having said that, Yarma and Sera had no more chance to refuse their fate and were imprisoned in the dungeon of Ghost Island.
Meanwhile, Kaido officially began a meeting to discuss post-war matters and future prospects.
……
The meeting ended, and everyone dispersed.
Only Kaido, Charlotte Linlin, and Selene remained in the hall.
"You won't have any objections to me making such a judgment on them, will you?"
Kaido looked at Selene, feeling a little uneasy, after all, they were of the same race.
However, Selene only rolled her eyes at him.
"Too kind!!"
"If it were me, I would sentence them to death by a thousand cuts!!"
"They tried to harm my children; they were the ones who disregarded kinship first!!"
Upon hearing this, Kaido breathed a sigh of relief.
Selene is not one to beat around the bush or keep things to herself, so what she is saying now is her true thought.
Charlotte Linlin smiled when she saw this.
She knew that, compared to those two fake sisters, they were the true sisters who shared honor and disgrace, life and death.
………………
After dealing with the trivial matters in Wano Country, the remnants of the defeated army on Whole Cake Island were gradually replaced by Kaido and returned to Onigashima. The trainees and mid-level officers such as Waputo were sent to guard the Whole Cake Island archipelago in their place.
The Battle of Whole Cake Island.
Although the Beasts' side did not have any core combat forces involved, their casualties were more severe than those on the other two battlefields.
There are 35 islands, with 100 people on each island, totaling 3500 Beast Pirates.
1512 people died in the battle.
225 people were seriously injured.
502 people sustained minor injuries.
252 people were arrested by the Navy.
Only 1009 people remained in good condition.
Of course, including the number of injured members who have recovered and returned to the team, there are still more than 1600 people.
More than half were killed or wounded; more than half were truly killed or wounded.
As for property losses other than those involving people, those are countless.
Some of the islands were even scorched by Akainu's Meteor Volcano attack due to their fierce resistance, turning large areas of the islands into scorched earth.
Of course, it's still the same.
Whole Cake Island is not yet Kaido's direct territory; he merely planted a flag there to collect taxes, so strictly speaking, the losses cannot be entirely attributed to him.
After quickly settling the troops guarding Whole Cake Island, Kaido held a grand memorial service on Onigashima.
To commemorate the pirates who sacrificed their lives in the war, we will erect a monument in their honor.
At the same time, immediately after the memorial service, the compensation due to each of the fallen pirates and the merits due to each of the surviving pirates were announced.
According to Kaido's merit-based nobility system, the family of every soldier who dies in battle is entitled to a long-term and continuous living allowance.
It's not just about having enough money to make a living, but at least enough for them to live a relatively comfortable life.
This money will continue until the eldest son of the fallen soldier comes of age, or until the spouse dies.
In addition, Kaido promised that he would build a Beast Academy within the next year or two, where the descendants of those who died in battle, even those without direct descendants, nephews, nieces, and grandnieces, could enroll unconditionally and with tuition waived.
In contrast to those who died in battle, who received almost identical benefits, the survivors were rewarded primarily with military merits and direct monetary rewards.
Of the more than 1700 survivors, about 150 had performed exceptionally well in the defense of Whole Cake Island. Kaido promised them all that they could receive a Devil Fruit.
It's obviously man-made, and it's an ordinary Devil Fruit that hasn't been sublimated by Kaido.
Even so, the pirates were still moved to tears.
Along with the other spies, whose status and positions were so low that even Kaido hadn't noticed them, they all showed envious and jealous looks on their faces.
………………
In the blink of an eye, a month has passed.
Kaido has finally finished dealing with the post-war trivial matters, or more accurately, the post-war decisions that require his attention.
It will take at least another month to completely finish the follow-up work.
As for the islands in the Whole Cake Island archipelago that were destroyed by the navy, the reconstruction time was measured in six months.
Compared to Kaido, the Navy here is much more efficient.
Regardless of whether there was any corruption or bribery involved, the Navy already had a mature system in place, and with the assistance of World Government officials, the Navy had completely handled all the post-war matters that the headquarters needed to do in the past month.
Then, a significant military conference was held at the Naval Headquarters.
The content of the meeting will not be disclosed.
The final result.
Fleet Admiral Kong, also known as Steel Bone, resigned from his position and was succeeded by Admiral Sengoku the Buddha.
Aside from the change in the marshal's position, the general's position remained largely unchanged.
However, Zephyr had to be pulled back into the spotlight from his semi-retired teaching position to serve as a figurehead.
In addition, there's Sora, who resigned as Fleet Admiral but didn't leave the Navy, and Garp, who absolutely refused to become an Admiral.
Although the navy still appears to be in a period of transition, it shouldn't be too difficult to maintain its current strength.
After all, there are also three rising stars: Sakazuki, Borsalino, and Kuzan.
Their strength was actually enough to qualify them as generals, but their military achievements were still lacking.
Bringing Zefa back into the picture is like baiting them, encouraging them to work harder to earn military merits.
Therefore, the current changes in the Navy's authority are only temporary, and another major change is inevitable in the next few years.
Most people around the world who learned of this news through newspapers made this judgment.
As this news spread throughout the world, new bounties were also announced for the Beasts Pirates and other top pirate crews in the New World.
First, there are the captains of the highest ranks and their right and left officers.
