This is his estimate.
The specific path for developing the fruit has been determined, and the next step is to develop and enhance physical fitness simultaneously.
This kind of self-strength amplification, of course, the stronger the physique, the better.
"Fifty times, huh..."
Moriah grinned, chuckling, "My dream is relying on you to accomplish it!"
"As the landlord, of course, I must shoulder the wishes and dreams of my subordinates!"
Sage had Bella pour him a glass of wine. Standing up with the wine glass, he laughed heartily towards his subordinates inside and outside the banquet hall:
"So, hand over your wishes and dreams, serve me, risk your lives for me, and I will fulfill all your desires! Everything I gain in wealth and prosperity will surely have a share for you! Hahaha, hohohoho!"
"Master Sage!"
"Captain Sage!"
"Lord Sage!"
"Boss Sage!"
"Your Majesty!"
Inside and outside the banquet hall, everyone raised their glasses, whether glass or wooden, and shouted.
The different titles reflect their different roles.
The party here includes pirates affiliated with the Disaster Pirates, household servants of Sage from the Demon Race, merchants loyal to Sage, and working commoners.
When Sage throws a party, he is inclusive; there are no requirements for participation.
Commoners can join too, but who specifically, he doesn't care, it's Lily who selects them.
These people are well-respected commoners from the kingdom and its attached islands who have performed well in their industries.
Lily watched this scene and then looked at Sage who was laughing heartily, suddenly saying, "Sage, now that everything is integrated enough, why not proclaim it to them, so they can be steady and you can ascend the throne."
Now is the time!
In the fight with Kaido, Sage claimed he lost, but to them, it didn't count as a loss because real warfare isn't simply dueling. With them here, Gares is definitely stable.
It's time to ascend the throne!
"Hmm?"
Sage was stunned, "Lily, say throne without mentioning the base, civilized you me him, I may be illiterate but I know manners. Don't say the base thing and heck, don't talk, it sounds awful."
Lily: "..."
What did she say!
"I meant for you to become a king, it's time to do that!" Lily took a deep breath and said.
"A king? I won't be a king!"
Sage laughed, "Where there's a king, there are nobles. I don't like sharing power with others; I am unique, I am the great landlord! Everything about you belongs to me, hahaha!"
"That's almost the same meaning, you need a title now!"
Lily's words had a hint of gritted teeth, "In any case, we're not occupying this place as pirates now, but truly becoming rulers. King, governor, general, National Guardian Bright King—anything, but you need this now, Sage!"
"Leave it to you, Lily, you can handle it."
Sage laughed, "It's just a title, I could be called Emperor... No, that's not good, son of heaven, doesn't sound nice."
Lily rubbed her forehead and sighed.
She knew it would be like this; this guy really doesn't care, he wants substance instead of these superficial titles.
But sometimes superficial things are very important to ordinary people.
The legal rationale is very important, and now is the time to seize the legal rationale.
"Just call him Lord Sage, Lord Sage is certainly our lord!"
Las spoke from inside the banquet hall:
"All of us from the Demon Race are also Lord Sage's property, and the commoners in the kingdom are the same, they are also Lord Sage's property. Lord Sage is the nation, and the nation is Lord Sage!"
"Savior." Marika smiled, "Your subordinates call you the Savior of the Pirates."
"Hey hehehe, how about King of Heroes? I acknowledge him as the great hero, he is bound to become king!" Moriah snickered.
"Terrifying Duke." Hawkins pondered seriously for a moment and said.
"Kami." Urouge was concise.
"Captain sounds better." Gin is a traditionalist.
"Eh? I think Storm Lord sounds better, hmm... Sage dislikes being anyone's son, so let's call it Lord of Storms." Renedia said.
"I emphasize again, storms have nothing to do with me!" Sage shot a glare at Renedia.
"But many subordinates are saying the third Supreme Officer is Storm." Renedia said seriously, "Otherwise, why haven't you chosen the third one yet."
"I'm just unable to find the right person, unable to find the right person!"
Sage gritted his teeth, "You guys need to step up, if your strength is good enough, my 'Three Phases' will be complete."
The three Supreme Officers, collectively known as the 'Three Phases,' were decided a few months ago.
Subordinates are divided according to different levels of strength and prestige, only reaching a certain level of strength and prestige can separate from High-Ranking Officer and become Supreme Officer.
To be precise, Sage doesn't choose; it's because the numbers have grown large, and the subordinates picked them out themselves.
The first choices were Lily and Moriah.
One has qualifications, also serving as navigator and conductor. Lily handled all the commands during sailing; after taking over the nation she manages the details, being recommended by everyone as Supreme Officer.
Moriah is a Former Seven Warlords of the Sea, a hero of the West Sea, renowned on the ocean, reaching the level where strength and prestige were acknowledged by everyone.
Then there are two, as for the third one… Sage doesn't want to choose, it's truly others can't reach this rank.
