Yes, not a single one!
Totto Land now belongs to Sage, and as for races, you could say he has the fullest collection here. But when it comes to Giants, he only has the ones he brought himself—just seven.
Stansen and Hajrudin, along with his partners, and the two Giants who stayed behind at Paradise with Hannabal, only make up seven in total.
Now, in front of a group of Giants, let's advertise a little, just in case someone comes around...
"Of course, I will also show the power that can rule over you all!"
Bang!
Sage swung the Eight Precepts powerfully, and at that moment, Lily skillfully drew her White Lightning, mixing blue-white and black-red into the purest black, issuing a column-shaped shockwave.
"Hakai!!"
Boom!!!
The sea even evaporated at this instant, two hundred meters of seawater being pushed aside by the column-shaped shockwave, completely revealing the land under the sea. The displaced water turned into stormy rain mixed with blood, transforming into blood rain pouring down.
Sea Kings vanished in the face of this move "Hakai."
Compared to the highly penetrating move Hakoku, Hakai exhibits unparalleled destructiveness and power.
Lily's Conqueror's Haki possesses power to slice through anything, while Sage's Conqueror's Haki... has everything except that.
Kaido, Big Mom, Garp, and himself.
Mix together, and naturally, it's total annihilation.
"Oh hahahaha! Good, very good!"
Sage laughed heartily, "Lily, you've grown a lot!"
Lily breathes heavily, smiling slightly, "Still lacking a bit, can't catch up with you."
She feels that Sage is holding back.
Not even using all his Haki, it's clear he held back at least thirty to forty percent. Even so, she needs to give her all to keep up.
While Sage can release his full strength indefinitely.
The gap is still huge.
"It's normal not to catch up with me. If I were only a little stronger than you, I should've retired a long time ago, hahaha!"
Sage laughed without humility, "I'm beyond Kaido and Big Mom's strength!"
What's there to be humble about, can't catch up, just can't catch up.
The pirate era is always changing.
Collaborative types, dictatorial types, alliances... and transcending those and surpassing them, a powerful type that suppresses an entire pirate crew by oneself.
Sage is stronger than Kaido and Big Mom, when those two fall, the bottom collapses, but when he falls, it just means the ultimate force isn't enough. But the system surely remains, a framework can rebuild everything.
In the past, without strong force support, it might not last long, but now...
He glanced at Vegapunk, as long as Pluton can be successfully activated, given what he played with in O'hara, as long as the successor isn't foolish, it wouldn't have a short impact on these seas.
"There's still so much more..."
The evaporated seawater was quickly engulfed by the vast ocean, refilling, and those Sea Kings noticeably moved faster, each one raising their massive bodies, baring their sharp teeth.
"Let's fight them off."
Sage's eyes flickered with scarlet as he tightened his grip on the Wolf Fang Club, grinning menacingly to swing the club.
Buzz!!
At that moment, he paused, subconsciously glancing at the fragmented island behind, at the old, gigantic robot.
"Haki? Supreme King?!"
Renedia exclaimed in shock, "A steel figure?"
The robot emitted an unprecedented Supreme King even stronger than Sage, covering the island and nearby seas, and the four monstrous beasts in front turned into four masses of black flames.
Surrounding Sea Kings retreated, submerged back into the sea under the pressure of this Supreme King, dispersing the shadow that blackened the sea, obviously fleeing far away.
Supreme King... capable of such magnitude?
Strong but not so strong as to exceed boundaries...
"What is this..."
Lily frowned, "Residual Haki? Whose?"
Totally different from the Supreme King of current sea champions.
Roger?
Or even earlier?
"Joyboy..." Vegapunk murmured, "Are you still existing in the world?"
"Who?" Lily was shocked, "Joyboy? From nine hundred years ago..."
"Hahahaha! Oh hahahaha! To preserve for so long!"
Sage laughed, "The storage of Supreme King is really interesting, preserved for so long!"
Armament Haki can leave residues on long-infected objects, transforming them into Black Blades or Black Rods, and Conqueror's Haki can wrap objects over time similarly.
The Eight Precepts bears Kaido's residual Supreme King and Haki used for over twenty years; Armament can't be erased, it's entirely infused and becomes a part. But Supreme King can be triggered, thus Sage clears out the weapon's Supreme King.
If it can leave a residue, naturally it can also store automatically.
Sage knew this, though he saw it as pointless, stored Supreme King remains Supreme King; it doesn't transform into Conqueror's Haki. No matter how strong, it's useless against those with strong wills.
But unexpectedly, the Five Elders were indeed removed by this Supreme King, looks like they were teleported back.
"Supreme King suppressed ability? But it didn't have so much power, couldn't possibly teleport people back..."
Sage stared at the no-longer-moving gigantic robot, "Then, what is suppressed isn't their ability."
He raised his head slightly, gazing into the distance, seemingly able to see the Red Earth Continent from here, see Mary Geoise atop it, his mouth curling:
"Ah... I see you're restless, aren't you? The sole owner of that Void Throne. Just wait, there will always be troubling matters to make you uneasy."
Vegapunk nearby shrunk his pupils, looking at Sage in shock.
What did he say?
Void Throne...
Is it that throne symbolizing the founding of the World Government?
And there's… someone on that throne?!
"Set sail!"
Sage waved his hand, "I've taken what I wanted, time to head back. Once Pluton is activated, no one can stop my business on the sea!"
"Pluton?"
Vegapunk hadn't regained composure from shock, hearing Sage's words, stunned again.
"I searched for you because of this matter."
Sage looked down at the old man resembling Einstein, revealing his cold white teeth, "That endless energy, perhaps it's the key to the activation."
The Death Star, under command, sails swiftly toward the ocean. In the sea breeze, Vegapunk and his four clones just watch Sage grin with gritted teeth, feeling chilled all over.
The theft of the Mother Fire Seed has already caused the fall of a Kingdom, and subsequent disasters even erased many islands, signifying many were engulfed by the sea.
And now, someone wants this thing to do the same again?
"No way!"
Atlas, representing "Rage," has the most straightforward mind, turning straight towards the ocean, "I absolutely won't give the Mother Fire Seed to someone like you!"
But before she even took two steps, a gleaming sword slashed across her neck.
Lily coldly said, "I don't know if losing your life reaction would render the Mother Fire Seed useless, but making you lose the ability to resist is doable, don't move."
"You intend to spark a war?"
Vegapunk remained calmer, asking, "The sea level rise will impact your business too, why do this?"
"It's precisely to continue my business that I need the weapon. Don't you understand, Vegapunk?"
Sage faced the sea, spreading his arms wide, "If only one person possesses a world-ending weapon, he does whatever he wants. But if a second person possesses one, every action has to be measured."
"If they don't want mutual destruction, they must settle down and do things within the rules. Right now, I'm satisfied with this chessboard, not looking to overturn it, so the World Government won't topple this domain. Then I can work properly."
"For example, two people of equal strength, each armed with weapons, no matter how much they conflict, it won't lead to a death battle. Because they know they're equally likely to kill one another. Similarly, only after realizing both I and them can turn each other into nothing is true peace achievable."
Sage chuckled softly, "Only then can there be a future!"
