The World's Eyes Were on Them

The great battle Night Pirates and the Navy, with the headline "Night Pirates' Declaration of War," has become the headline of major newspapers these days.

Meanwhile, Exo Island became the center of everyone's attention, with everyone anticipating the great battle Night Pirates and the Navy.

Teach's declaration of war also served to prevent the Navy from taking any improper actions, such as secretly sending powerful individuals to assist the three Admiral in suppressing the Night Pirates.

This is a highly anticipated battle, and whether viewed via live broadcast or on-site, it will undoubtedly attract a large audience.

Teach's declaration of war was aimed at the large fleet formed by the three Marine Admiral candidates of the Night Pirates. If anyone else intervened, it would undoubtedly be a violation of the rules by the Navy, and regardless of the outcome, they would be condemned by others, especially under the watchful eyes of the entire world.

Since it's a declaration of war, the two sides in the battle are the Night Pirates and the large fleet of those three Marine Admiral candidates.

Furthermore, after the Night Pirates declared war, the three Admiral candidates also sent out images to show that they had won the war.

In other words, apart from those two parties, everyone else is a third party, even the navy.

Meanwhile, major powers in the New World have also mobilized. According to intelligence, the Flying Pirates' first mate, "Uranus" Rhine, is heading towards the first half of the Grand Line.

Marco, the "Phoenix" of the Whitebeard Pirates.

King, the "King of Flames" of the Beasts Pirates.

Katakuri, the second son of the Big Mom Pirates.

Other Great Pirate also sent men over.

Their goal was the same: to watch the great battle Night Pirates and the Navy.

Another point is to observe the strength of the Night Pirates, since some things can only be felt on the battlefield, and cannot be felt by watching images.

This was also a prior assessment of the Night Pirates' strength, and the final result would determine how the Night Pirates should respond when they entered the New World.

Regardless, once the Night Pirates enter the New World, they will all become their rivals, and some intelligence will still be needed.

These messages turned Sengoku's face green. He admitted that after Teach declared war, he had planned to send people to ambush the Night Pirates on Exo Island, the battlefield, so that he could concentrate the Navy's strength to eliminate the Night Pirates at the lowest cost and in the shortest time, thus removing a major threat.

Even if "Dark Emperor" Teach doesn't die and manages to escape, his Night Pirates will still be wiped out.

However, these three Admiral candidates accepted the challenge without consulting them first. How could he make such a decision? He still had his pride.

Even if the Navy abandons all pretense of dignity, it's still worthwhile as long as they can eliminate the Night Pirates, since the storm will eventually pass.

At this time, the news from the New World made Sengoku feel uneasy, completely ruining his wishful thinking.

At the same time, there was also some fear that with so many powerful figures from the New World arriving in the first half of the Grand Line, if things got out of control, even the Navy would have a hard time suppressing them, and there was also the risk of provoking these maritime overlords of the New World.

Of course, he also knew that the arrival of these powerful figures, besides being for observation, was mainly to prevent the navy from interfering with this very formal battle.

This left Sengoku somewhat helpless, and he could only wait for the war to begin while keeping an eye on the pirates to prevent them from having any special schemes.

This highly anticipated battle has everyone waiting for it. Some people are even meticulously recording the Night Pirates' schedule and calculating their speed, keeping a countdown to the final showdown.

"Haha, the grand stage is ready, let's show our strength!" Teach laughed as he looked at the newspaper article.

Teach hadn't expected this battle to receive so much attention, but this kind of war suited him perfectly.

The intense attention this battle was receiving put some pressure on him, even though he was very confident.

The members of the Night Pirates felt the same way, with a greater sense of urgency but also excitement. They trained even harder, and many voluntarily increased their training time.

This is a major battle to be fought in front of a global audience, and everyone wants to show their best. This tension is exactly Teach wants.

"Haha, I have great news for everyone! When we reach the next island, all the clothes for the members of our Night Pirates will have arrived." Nelson announced this good news to all the members.

Upon hearing this, all the members became excited and eagerly anticipating the moment it was said.

"Are we finally almost there?"

"Haha, I've been looking forward to this for a long time."

The members of the Night Pirates discussed it excitedly, and even the executives were very much looking forward to it.

Teach compiled a list of everyone's preferred clothing styles, along with their descriptions, and invited the world-renowned fashion brand Vanguard Group to create a unique dark-style wardrobe exclusively for the Night Pirates.

A few months ago, when the Night Pirates called the Vanguard Group headquarters, the entire Vanguard Group's top management was terrified when they learned that it was the Daimyo "Dark Emperor" Teach. They were so scared that they almost called the Marine Headquarters directly.

However, upon hearing that Teach wanted to have clothes custom-made by them, they were both relieved and excited—this was a big deal.

After all, being able to cooperate with the Daimyo Night Pirates would be a huge boost to the reputation of their entire group, and would also have enormous future value.

The Night Pirates so powerful that they have many followers and fans around the world. After seeing the clothes that were customized for the Night Pirates, many people will definitely want them and buy them. Although the Night Pirates will have to share some of the profits, it is undoubtedly a huge fortune for them.

This is a win-win situation, bringing both fame and fortune.

At present, while keeping the news under wraps, the entire Vanguard Group has gathered all its fashion designers to create a new style of clothing called Dark Style specifically for the Night Pirates.

This style is different from the pirate style. But the Night Pirates are still a pirate crew, so they definitely want to combine this dark style with the pirate style.

At the same time, the style proposed by Teach also aroused the interest of these fashion designers, who then began to design clothes in this style.

Meanwhile, the clothing preferences of the Night Pirates members, including what types of clothes they liked to wear and their requirements, were secretly relayed to the Vanguard Group.

Now that they had accepted the Night Pirates' request, they were determined to complete the mission successfully; otherwise, they dared not imagine the consequences.

With the prospect of huge future profits and increased fame, coupled with the covert pressure from the Night Pirates, all sorts of dark-themed clothing were designed. The design sketches, drafts, and final products were sent to a location designated by the Night Pirates them to take away.

Later, any areas of dissatisfaction, areas needing improvement, or any other requirements were sent back to the headquarters of the Pioneer Group for revision, further enhancement, or innovation.

They had been looking forward to these custom-made outfits for the Night Pirates for a long time, as they greatly enhanced the overall prestige of their crew.

"Also, the new pirate ship has been built. It will be our future flagship, along with two secondary ships. We'll be able to get new pirate ships once this battle is over."

The Lucky Goddess is going to be decommissioned; this decision was made a long time ago. After all, the ship is too small. With the current size of the Night Pirates, even five pirate ships seem a bit crowded.

Leaving aside the other pirate ships, two were purchased, and the other two were simply warships from the Kraken Kingdom. The Lucky Goddess had been with them for three years and was the first ship their Night Pirates set sail on. So far, it had experienced a lot.

Following them from the East China Sea to the West Blue, we are now on the Grand Line.

The Night Pirates from nearly sixty members at the beginning to more than twelve hundred members today, Lucky Goddess has witnessed all of this.

Some of the pirates were filled with emotion; they were members of the original fifty pirates who joined the Night Pirates.

However, there was nothing that could be done about it; the Lucky Goddess could not accompany Teach and the others into the New World.

Teach and his crew need a bigger, sturdier ship, a pirate ship that can truly sail indefinitely.

After such a long time, there must have been some feelings involved.

Teach was already mentally prepared and wasn't too sad. Teach had also already made his decision, based on a previous agreement: the true flagship of the Night Pirates.

Just like the Jackson of the Roger Pirates, the Moby Dick of the Whitebeard Pirates, and the Queen Mama Chanter of the Big Mom Pirates, a pirate ship that can represent a pirate crew.

The Queen Anne's Revenge stands quietly in the vast shipyard of Water Seven, along with two other ships.

The ship is basically complete, built using branches from the precious Adam Tree. However, there are still some imperfections that will need to be addressed once the Night Pirates arrive.

The ship's weapons and propulsion systems were not yet completed; only a basic foundation had been laid. Ultimately, it would have to wait for Otto to finish building them, at which point the entire Queen Anne's Revenge would truly come to life.

The Night Pirates swept through the land with unstoppable momentum; nothing could stop them, and no one could hinder them.

In just under a month, the Night Pirates approached Reverse Mountain.

This speed is already very fast. You have to know that it took Pirate King Roger three years to circle the world, even though much of that was during his adventures. This shows how vast the world is.

However, when the naval Garp the Hero returned to the East China Sea, he would take leave not for a few days, but for two or three months.

"It's time for the world to truly know the Night Pirates."

The Night Pirates' ship sailed into Reverse Mountain, and some people were already waiting Reverse Mountain. Reporter Bird was taking pictures and videos of the Night Pirates ascending Reverse Mountain from high in the air.

The news was released immediately, and the World Economic News, along with other newspapers, also rushed to report that the Night Pirates had arrived at Reverse Mountain and were about to enter the Grand Line.

"Hmph! A mere pirate? We'll make sure their expectations are dashed." On Exo Island, the designated battlefield, the Navy's large fleet had already arrived ahead of schedule.

Naval warships are inherently faster, and this large fleet had only stopped once at a Marine Branch Luffy and refitting.

Looking at the news in the newspaper, Marine Vice Admiral Gilman was somewhat disdainful. Even though their backgrounds were different, he was still Marine Vice Admiral. As a Marine, and a veteran Marine, he always upheld justice and held a deep hatred for pirates, especially pirates like the Night Pirates.

The other two Vice Admiral were the same; upon seeing the newspaper, they both showed expressions of anger.

Atchison clenched his fists tightly. "The whole world revolves around this one pirate. How boring! Such evil must be eradicated."

Most of the newspapers were filled with headlines, intelligence, and information about the Night Pirates.

There was very little information about the Navy, or about those who firmly believed in its justice, which made them extremely angry.

He also saw a survey of the public, asking who would win the battle between the Night Pirates and them.

Ultimately, 59 percent of people believed the Night Pirates would win, while only 40 percent believed they would.

What to do? The public doesn't have a good opinion of them, but this newspaper actually dared to publish it, not even afraid of the navy coming after them.

Therefore, they wanted to prove themselves and demonstrate the Navy's justice with absolute strength.

Originally, this was a battle against the Night Pirates, but it was also a battle for themselves, one that would contribute more to their fight for the position of Admiral.

However, after a month of fermentation and with so much attention, this has now escalated into a matter of justice for the entire navy, and even the public has little confidence in the navy.

After all, information was readily available in this era. The three Marine Vice Admiral were candidates for Admiral, but the prestige of being Admiral candidates was not high, because they did not have the combat power of Admiral.

They can only be compared to Brom, who was defeated by Teach, and their combat power might not even be as good as Brom's, because Brom ate the top-tier Paramecia Devil Fruit, the Crush -Smash Fruit, which has super destructive power.

After seeing footage of their abilities, the public found it difficult to compare them to Brom, believing they were inferior to the deceased Vice Admiral Brom, let alone the more powerful "Dark Emperor" Teach.

Even when the three of them joined forces, they possessed a massive army.

Because "Dark Emperor" Teach is more Haki, confident, and has a more powerful aura. It is the aura of a king, which cannot be concealed even through images and can be felt by people.

Furthermore, since the Night Pirates debuted, they have always won decisive victories against the Navy, with the Navy suffering utter defeats and being mostly slaughtered by the Night Pirates, none surviving.

Some pirates and fans who idolize the Night Pirates have even made a declaration that they are merely stepping stones on the Night Pirates' path to becoming emperors. This includes especially young pirates, because the Night Pirates were founded after the Great Pirate Era began and represent a new era of pirates.

They now represent the Navy, represent the Navy's justice, and will use their own strength to uphold their own justice and the Navy's justice.

The curtain is about to rise.
