The Name of the Dark Emperor: The Night Pirates' Great Potential (1)
In the past few days, Teach, the captain of the Night Pirates, has undoubtedly become the center of attention on the sea. Young, powerful, and capable of destroying a powerful nation, this is something that no ordinary pirate crew can do.
In addition, Morgans heavily promoted the idea that the man was destined to be a hegemon and a strong contender for the title of emperor of the New World's Sea Emperor. Such propaganda attracted the curiosity of those reading the newspapers.
Even those powerful figures in the New World who held Teach in some contempt were eager to see what kind of person this young man, who came from the Whitebeard Pirates and possessed the potential to be a king, was really made of.
The fact that Teach possesses Conqueror's Haki is enough to demonstrate Teach potential. Although there are many people in the New World who possess Conqueror's Haki, including many captains of pirate crews with bounties exceeding four or five hundred million Beli who have not become vassals of other forces, many of them also possess Conqueror's Haki.
Although the number wasn't overwhelming, there were still over a hundred people.
Nowadays, watching these videos has become the main way for pirates to pass the time, and they certainly wouldn't miss such a wonderful video.
Today, Morgans had a constant smile on his face, looking excited without stopping. His newspapers sold out, even though he printed five million copies, they still sold out in a very short time.
Its sales far exceeded those of previous newspapers, and the speed at which it grew was such that no other newspaper could compete with it; it could be said that it monopolized the entire market.
Printing five million copies at once was a huge undertaking, a grand gesture from him, and he believed the newspaper would sell very well. However, the final result far exceeded his expectations, and he now even regrets printing so few copies.
Based on information obtained covertly, other newspapers also began to work hard, hoping to take advantage of this trend and get some benefits.
So, seeing the newspaper's immense popularity, he printed another five million copies before it sold out, making a fortune while other newspapers lagged behind.
Morgans grinned from ear to ear. How much would he earn this time? Hundreds of millions of Beli, billions of Beli! This was just a newspaper, and he could make so much money.
Although he doesn't value money much, because the World Economic News earns tens of billions of Beli every year.
What he pursues more is Big News Morgans, and only that can bring him pleasure.
And then, the truly earth-shattering bombshell will be revealed: Teach's combat footage, edited and produced by his team of professionals working through the night. This will be the most explosive footage since the industry's inception.
It was a true visual feast, but even so, Morgans felt it was a bit of a shame that there were only four shots switching between them; he wished there were more.
Two more key shots were captured by two reporters who risked getting close to the battlefield. When they arrived, the fighting had already been going on for some time, but this also enriched the content of the film.
In addition, there were other shots of the other officers of the Night Pirates, whose battle scenes were captured by some reporters.
In addition, several music experts specially composed passionate background music for Teach's battle. Now, the World Economic News not only has reporters and screenwriters, but also a department dedicated to film and television production.
Morgans was adept at profiting from people's misfortunes. That's why he didn't release the newspaper and the video together. This way, some people might just watch the video and then stop buying the newspaper.
Newspapers may be cheap, but they're still money.
Morgans wants to earn money from two sources, and half of the money earned from the videos will be given to the Night Pirates.
This is also to maximize profits. The newspaper has already sold extremely well, exceeding historical records. Curiosity about the battle will also attract those who did not buy the Transponder Snail to buy it, thus greatly increasing the sales of the video Transponder Snail.
Similarly, he collaborates with those who cultivate Transponder Snail. The better they sell, the more he earns, which further promotes the widespread use of Transponder Snail —a win-win situation.
This was destined to be a moment the world eagerly awaited. The next day, at 8:00 AM, the footage would be played simultaneously, because everyone had already purchased the footage in advance with their Beli.
In addition, the Transponder Snail sold out as a result. Those who did not have Transponder Snail gathered in front of the big screen, where the official purchased them and projected the images of the Transponder Snail onto the big screen.
Some people who had Transponder Snail) gathered with others to watch it.
After all, Transponder Snail are not cheap, and buying the videos also costs money. Different videos have different prices, depending on the time and quality; some are cheap, and some are expensive.
In order to promote the development of this industry, Morgans, through discussions with his subordinates, did not set a high price, only 30,000 Beli, equivalent to the price of five steaks.
The image appeared, showing Teach's image along with the Teach Pirate Flag, the three skulls, and the crossed drumsticks.
The title above, clearly written in large characters, reads "The Dark Emperor" by Marshall D. Teach. "The Dark Emperor" was, of course, the title Morgans came up with for Teach.
The Dark Emperor, Teach's abilities, and the name of his pirate crew all complement each other.
The scene opens with Teach and Gari appearing on the palace walls. During their brief conversation, they reveal that their invasion of the Kraken Kingdom was solely for one thing—a Devil Fruit hidden in the Kraken Kingdom's Curry, though not explicitly stated.
Teach and his companion were only two people, while the Kraken Kingdom had 20,000 elite soldiers, far surpassing Teach and his companion in terms of morale.
However, Teach and his companion remained calm and composed in the face of this large army, showing no signs of tension.
With a loud boom, a powerful Conqueror's Haki was released, stunning everyone watching the video.
"This, this is the king's aptitude, the innate spirit of some people, the Conqueror's Haki." A man murmured involuntarily. In their eyes, the 20,000 elite troops with their overwhelming momentum would be considered a powerful elite force in any kingdom. Just looking at them, one could feel an unstoppable pressure.
Many people know about the Three Types of Haki, because...
However, under Teach's charisma, soldiers fell one after another, losing consciousness. Only a few hundred guards held on, remaining conscious, but their bodies swayed, some even kneeling on the ground, standing there in a daze.
This powerful army was so easily defeated, routed without even lifting a finger, relying solely on its sheer courage.
This scene shocked the entire world, and all the powerful figures couldn't help but focus their gazes. What surprised them was the intensity of Teach's Conqueror's Haki. Teach's Conqueror's Haki was very strong, far exceeding that of ordinary Conqueror's Haki, and approaching the aura of the world's peak.
Many people who knew Teach were watching the footage, including Mobius and Wos from Beast Island.
Mostima and his group on White Sand Island.
Anne of Sess Island with her father, Anthony.
The Whitebeard Pirates.
Arcas Island, a blonde girl, Monica, with her father, Mody.
Has he grown to this level? Mody thought to himself. He could no longer gauge Teach's true strength, which meant that Teach's abilities had surpassed his own, far surpassed his.
That sheer aura surpasses that of most people who possess Conqueror's Haki.
Then, the war began, and Teach faced off against the King of the Kraken Kingdom. From the start, Teach displayed overwhelming power, suppressing Pande.
It's important to know that Pande is considered a strong individual in the New World, but he was Teach in both physical combat and Two types of Haki.
Similarly, Pande also possesses Conqueror's Haki, but he is still inferior to Teach, thus rendering it useless.
Under suppression, Pande finally unleashed his hidden power, transforming into his complete form in a short time as Ancient Species Kraken Devil Fruit User.
With its enormous body, hideous appearance, countless tentacles, and incredible regenerative abilities, Pender was virtually Immortal Body. Teach's powerful physical skills were no match for Pande, and Pande was equally helpless against him.
The two then reached a stalemate.
Then, the scene shifts to Pito and Kaguya, two children who are only twelve or thirteen years old, yet they display astonishing strength, overwhelming their two opponents.
"These are monsters! How can they be so powerful, and they're only twelve or thirteen years old?" The fighting prowess and combat skills displayed by the two children were astonishing. Seeing their immense strength, some people felt that they would be incredibly lucky to survive.
Pito, the White-Haired Devil Kaguya, is a Zoan Cat-Cat Devil Fruit User and a Paramecia Bone-Bone Devil Fruit User.
If it's this powerful now, what will it be like in the future?
"But didn't you notice how cute Catwoman is?"
"The White-Haired Devil isn't bad either; he'll definitely be handsome when he grows up."
A strange topic suddenly emerged from the crowd, but it gained widespread approval and seemed to be gaining momentum.
Then, the scene shifted to Xiouyapufu's side. The powerful Wave-Wave Devil Fruit User appeared, and many strong individuals recognized the high ceiling of his ability.
It can absolutely create raging waves and churning air currents, and it also has an effect on the ground. The direction of its development is very simple and not complicated, somewhat similar to the template of Whitebeard's Tremor-Tremor Fruit.
The next moment, many people were stunned by Xiouyapufu's beautiful face: short golden hair, a slender body, butterfly wings on his back, and a pair of slightly long antennae on his head.
That serious expression, no matter how you look at it, is so handsome, and there's Miles below in his Human-Beast Form.
Two more ability users, from the Night Pirates.
Some powerful figures have already noticed, especially the swordsman, that Xiouyapufu is breaking through to the realm of Swordmaster.
"Ah! Lord Xiouyapufu, so handsome!"
"I can't take it anymore, I'm going to die, my heart is beating so fast!"
In an instant, Xiouyapufu's face was imprinted in the hearts of countless women, from eighty-year-old elders to eight-year-old girls, and even some men, whose hearts couldn't help but stir.
Miles' counterattack caught many people's attention; the tail behind him displayed formidable power, giving him a significant advantage.
Most of these people were Zoan- Zoan Devil Fruit users with tails. Unexpectedly, their seemingly useless tails became their secret weapon for victory, making them impossible to defend against. Although the two were evenly matched in strength, with Miles being slightly weaker, he still emerged victorious.
They thought they should also train their tails so they could gain a huge advantage in battle.
Many powerful individuals have recognized Miles's tail-lashing technique: using his tail to unleash a powerful kick that inflicts double damage, making it a devastating weapon in battle.
Xiouyapufu broke through smoothly, unleashing a powerful slash and easily eliminating his opponent.
Next up was Wallace. By this time, some people had already noticed that the Night Pirates' officers were fighting at the city gate, meaning the battlefield included not only inside the palace but also the four sides of the palace.
Wallace powerfully fought two opponents at once; both were renowned bounty hunters, one of whom Devil Fruit User.
However, even though he was alone, Wallace overwhelmed them. As Devil Fruit User of the Steel-Steel Fruit, his absolute strength and scorching Molten Steel Fist distorted the air with their vapor.
The two former bounty hunters, both of considerable skill, were forced to retreat steadily under pressure.
They easily and decisively defeated the two bounty hunters.
Then, the scene shifts again. Blood-red shadows flash across the sky, Lafitte, with blood-bat wings on his back, is hidden in the shadows. Gunshots ring out continuously, but there's not much footage. This is a duel between gunmen, all hidden in the shadows. What could the reporters possibly capture?
The scene shifts, moving to the other side, where the Night Pirates are engaged in a battle with their guards.
The battle here is extremely fierce. Due to the sheer number of people involved, the members of the Night Pirates are slaughtering in all directions. Despite being outnumbered, they hold an absolute advantage.
This demonstrates the strength and average power of the members of the Night Pirates.
Among them, there were a few people who stood out, namely the two young monks, Clemons and Bonnies.
"Look, it's our turn!" Clemons exclaimed excitedly. The Night Pirates were also watching the video and were thrilled to see themselves on screen.
Clemons' muscles bulged, unleashing tremendous speed and power; his taut muscles made him impervious to blades and bullets.
Clemons' appearance made him memorable to many people because his muscles were simply too exaggerated.
Bare-chested, even with trousers on, Clemons' well-developed "buttock muscles" were still visible. Clemons was reckless, charging into the enemy ranks and knocking a guard away with a single punch.
If someone tries to ambush you from the shadows, they will be caught in the muscles he controls.
Bonnies transforms into Blademan, unleashing a frenzied attack with his steel-like body.
These are two more Devil Fruit User. Judging from their appearance, it's clear that these two young monks are trainees for leadership positions. They are simply too young to be strong enough, but compared to their peers, they are far superior.
Of course, monsters like Big Mom are an exception.
