Reincarnated as Kaido, married Big Mom, and formed a dual-Emperor pirate crew.

Chapter 55 Retreating to Advance

Upon arriving in Batam, Sunny and his companions were resting at the city lord's mansion.

Kaido scanned the area, finding a total of over 1100 Beast Pirates. Many were injured, but the number of direct casualties was not high, probably in the single digits.

"Brothers!!"

"Captain Kaido!!"

Kaido raised his hand in greeting, and the pirates responded in unison.

"Hmm, you all look great!"

"That's for sure!"

"We've wiped out the nobles in the western part of the island! Now all that's left are the nobles in the eastern part!"

"Kill them all! The country will be ours! Awoooooo!"

"Uro ro ro ro..."

Kaido smiled, walked to the middle of the crowd, and waved his hand.

The remaining 8 tons of gold bars that I received in the royal palace hall last time appeared instantly.

"Brothers, our plan is now halfway complete. You've worked hard!!"

"These gold bars are one for each person! Line up to collect them!!"

“┗|艹皿艹|┛嗷！！”

The pirates' cheers instantly rose to a fever pitch.

Once the noise subsided, the pirates automatically formed an orderly line, and under Kaido's watchful eye, each received a gold bar as a reward for their hard work over the past few days.

After everyone had received their gold bars, there were still more than 7 tons of gold bars left.

Kaido once again loudly proclaimed, "Once you wipe out all the nobles in the east, you can get another gold bar!"

“┗|艹皿艹|┛嗷！！”

"Has the list of those who died in battle been compiled yet? The compensation I've prepared for them is ten gold bars per person! You who are still alive, you'll all be there to supervise me in fulfilling this promise!"

“┗|艹皿艹|┛嗷嗷嗷！！”

"Long live Captain Kaido!!"

The shouts from the pirates grew louder and louder.

Similarly, their loyalty levels all broke through the 85 mark, with some even reaching a staunch 90.

Kaido grinned.

It's a simple, clichéd approach of throwing money at the problem, but it's very effective.

Stepping into the city lord's office, Sunny and Longbread were already waiting for a long time.

"Kaido, these are the spoils of this raid."

Longbread reached out and handed a document to Kaido.

"Ugh, we only have 5 million Berries in money, 100 million hectares of land, and no statistics on slaves and the population..."

"It's a bit lacking, whether in terms of wealth or land."

"But no one can be blamed for this; I gave them a month to transfer their assets."

Kaido put down the documents and looked at Longbread and Sunny.

"These 5 million in spoils haven't been distributed?"

"No allocation."

Sonny explained, "Because you haven't set the distribution rules yet, Captain, I don't dare to take action on my own."

Kaido nodded slightly.

"In that case, let's set the rules now."

"The spoils will be distributed as follows: I will get 20%, Lingling will get 20%, and the rest of the officers will get 30% in total. However, the specific amount each person will receive will be determined based on their contribution to the battlefield at the time."

"The final 30% is divided among junior officers and low-ranking pirates, and is also allocated based on their contribution to the battlefield."

"Those who did not participate in the fighting and looting, apart from Lingling and me, even if they are cadres, are not qualified to share the spoils of victory."

"As for those who unfortunately died in battle, their spoils will be distributed in the same way as those who made the second-to-last contribution."

"I will also provide additional compensation."

Kaido thought for a moment and, after confirming that there were basically no omissions, had Sunny write it down as a paper document.

After finishing writing, Sonny looked up excitedly.

"Captain Kaido! You truly live up to your reputation! How incredibly generous you are!"

"Hmm, so this is considered generous?!"

"How can this not count?!"

Sunny exclaimed excitedly, "According to the usual rules of pirate crews, the captain usually gets at least 70% of the loot, and in some extreme cases, even 99% of the loot belongs to the captain! Captain Kaido, I've never heard of such a distribution ratio before!!"

"Hey hey hey, stop grinning like an idiot. Go out and announce it, and while you're at it, divide up those 5 million Berries."

Kaido smiled and waved.

"When you come back, we'll have a proper discussion about the founding of the nation and other miscellaneous matters."

"Yes!!"

Sonny nodded emphatically.

Then, carrying the spoils distribution plan he had just written, he hurried to the main hall where the pirates were resting.

soon.

Another round of shouts erupted, yelling "Long live Kaido!"

When Sunny returned, Kaido dumped all the questions he had been pondering onto him at once.

"This one……"

Sunny took a deep breath and said rather solemnly, "Mr. Kaido, please allow me to summon all the peripheral members of the clan back!"

What would be the consequences of calling them all back?

“In the past, the Capone family’s various businesses in the West Sea would be swallowed up by the other four major families.”

Kaido thought for a moment, then asked Sunny, "Are you willing to do that?"

Sonny grinned. "The captain hasn't forgotten the second plan we discussed on our first day of meeting, has he?"

"Hmph, a strategic retreat?!"

Kaido looked at Sunny with amusement.

"And while we're at it, we'll weed out those on the periphery who already have ulterior motives?"

Sonny nodded solemnly.

"That's exactly what I think, and there are quite a few talented people among them."

"Now, the nobles of the Kingdom of Bessel are either killed or about to be killed, and the entire bureaucratic system has completely come to a standstill."

“Recalling them back can keep the country running for a short period of time.”

"This is clearly more important than preserving the Capone family's overseas assets!"

Kaido thought for a moment and nodded. "Okay, do it your way."

………………

Time began to pass quickly.

The outside world's disturbances have no effect on the Kingdom of Bessel now.

After settling various trivial matters with Kaido, Sunny and Longbread continued to lead their army, sweeping across the eastern part of the island.

A week later.

Sunny and Longbread ended their sweep of the eastern part of the island.

Throughout the entire Kingdom of Bessel, all the old nobles had either perished or fled to other countries, with only a few escaping into the deep mountains and forests; they were no longer a force to be reckoned with.

Meanwhile, at Sonny's behest, peripheral members of the Capone family also rushed to Haworth Island.

They took over the official positions created by the killing of the old aristocracy.

The chaos that had engulfed the entire kingdom gradually subsided after they arrived.

Kaido personally greeted the triumphant return of Sunny and Longbread's group at the palace.

Another round of gold bar rewards.

After a day of rest, the Beast Pirates began to travel to major towns and villages across the country, carrying live Den Den Mushi (transmitter snails).

Projection screens were set up, and groups of anxious people were gathered.

Ten days after Kaido woke up.

September 25, 1484 (Haiyuan Calendar), 12 noon.

A signal was sent from the capital of the Kingdom of Bessel to officially launch a live broadcast to the entire nation.
