Chapter 44 44: The Five Peaks Pirates Were Nearly Wiped Out by the Totto Land Sea Area
The Whitebeard Pirates had already begun their return voyage.
Only…
On the other side!
Within the Totto Land sea area.
"Mm~~~"
Selina could not help rubbing her brow. She felt very tired.
Ike had left.
That meant all the work in Totto Land had naturally fallen onto Selina's shoulders. These were matters she needed to take responsibility for and handle.
"Sister…" Sally asked softly, "Are you all right? Why don't you rest for a while first?"
"I am fine."
Selina shook her head and said gently, "Since Husband entrusted all of this to me before leaving, then I should take responsibility for it."
"Sally, how is the population count coming along?" Selina shook her head, then continued asking.
Sally nodded and continued, "In terms of military forces, Totto Land currently has a total of ten thousand soldiers. In addition, in terms of population, during this past year or so, elder brother either brought people back from the outside world or purchased them. The population has basically exceeded two hundred thousand."
Very astonishing!
But!
After thinking about it a little, it also seemed only natural.
On this extremely chaotic sea, especially in this extremely chaotic New World, no joke—
Hehehe~~~
If you built a country, as long as that country was safe, population would truly not be a problem at all. With casual recruitment, there were far too many civilians willing to obediently settle down safely as long as they were given a mouthful of food. There were truly many such people on this sea.
The number of two hundred thousand was only after careful selection. Otherwise, this number could swell without limit. In one year, surpassing two million would be an extremely easy matter.
"As for island construction…" Sally continued, "Cake Island's construction is progressing relatively quickly. Nearly forty percent of the construction has already been completed."
"Next…"
"Are the five islands surrounding Cake Island: Candy Island, Wheat Island, Bean Island, Butter Island, and Cream Island."
"These…"
"Have all initially completed close to thirty percent of construction. As for the other islands, they have not even reached ten percent."
Sally was also helpless. The time was still too short. Even though funds were still sufficient for now, there were simply too many various problems involved. It was truly not something that could be done just because one wanted to build casually.
First of all!
Every island within the Totto Land sea area had its own unique characteristics. For example, Cake Island was completely made up of enormous cakes. Candy Island, from top to bottom and from inside to outside, was entirely composed of naturally formed candy.
Then there was Wheat Island. The core of Wheat Island was that the entire island was covered in massive wheat, and at the very center, there was even an enormous towering tree formed from wheat. There were also Bean Island, Butter Island, Cream Island…
They were all the same!
Bean Island itself was a gigantic bean, while Butter Island and Cream Island followed a similar concept.
Precisely because of this, renovating and constructing these islands was not an easy matter. And these were only the five islands closest to Cake Island. Further outward, the islands circled Cake Island layer by layer, and construction had not yet reached them at all.
"It is indeed very troublesome!" Selina continued flipping through the various documents in her hands and said softly, "Let us take it slowly."
"Right."
"Sally…"
Selina suddenly thought of something and continued asking, "Betty and Emma are both about to give birth, aren't they?"
"Yes!" Sally nodded. "Betty and Emma should give birth in half a month at most."
Selina nodded and said very gently, "Arrange more maids to take good care of their bodies. Do not allow any accidents to happen. Also! The children led by Gawain—have they all been growing steadily recently?"
"Mm!" Sally nodded seriously. "Sister, please rest assured. Every child's examinations have kept up properly. Moreover, according to the medicinal baths Husband left behind, they have already begun receiving careful protection from a very young age."
"That is good."
Selina continued throwing herself into work. She truly was quite tired.
But!
It was still the same statement. For Selina, since she had reached this position, she had to fulfill her responsibilities, step by step handling all of this further and better. This was Selina's work, and it was extremely important.
Selina was busy with everything in the Totto Land sea area.
On the other side!
At the outer perimeter of the Totto Land sea area!
A pirate ship slowly approached.
The Five Peaks Pirates!
That's right!
The pirate ship approaching was precisely the ship of the Five Peaks Pirates.
"Mm~~~"
Wang Zhi narrowed his eyes, his gaze growing sharper and sharper. Lightly stroking his long beard, he said with interest, "I finally found it! The territory of those Edward brothers—the Totto Land sea area!"
"Hmph!"
A cold gleam surfaced in his eyes, and Wang Zhi's killing intent was truly terrifying.
How should one put it?
Ever since the matter of Murakumogiri, Wang Zhi and the Edward brothers had completely formed a grudge. Over the past year or so, they had already fought seven or eight times.
And now?!
Of course, Wang Zhi had received news of what the Edward brothers had done on the black market island. He had found the Edward brothers' territory, the Totto Land sea area. He planned to directly destroy the brothers' base. When that time came, would everything not be up to him?
"Boys!" Wang Zhi drew his greatsword and shouted loudly, "Move out! Attack!"
"Yes!"
"Captain!"
The pirates of the Five Peaks Pirates all let out excited shouts.
Only…
The Five Peaks Pirates had no idea just how dangerous the outer perimeter of the Totto Land sea area truly was.
The final result?!
Hehehe~~~
Aside from Wang Zhi and a very small number of pirates who barely escaped with their lives, the rest of the crew, including the pirate ship, were all left behind at the outer perimeter of the Totto Land sea area.
The entire Five Peaks Pirates were nearly wiped out directly!!!
