The Battle Was About to Begin: Rediat Fired the First Shot
Meanwhile, as time passed, the Night Pirates rapidly approached and became increasingly clear.
The flag flying high on the mast, with three skulls and sharp eyes looking in three different directions, and a cross of skulls behind them in a swirling dark vortex, is a unique pirate flag that symbolizes the Night Pirates.
Finally, Morgans excitedly approached the Night Pirates with the live broadcast Transponder Snail, revealing the entire Night Pirates to the world.
Everyone was stunned, staring at the members of the Night Pirates on the screen. They were all dressed in various dark-themed clothes, and their overall appearance was incredibly Haki.
The scene drew closer, passing over the members of the Night Pirates. They were predominantly black, with some in dark purple and eerie blue. On their outer garments, some bore the Night Pirates' flag, some in dark vortexes, and some even in bloody dark red claws.
At a glance, none of them are the same.
As they drew closer, they saw the Night Pirates' officers: Kos, wearing a black cloak; Kaguya, in a black kimono; Pito, in a black denim jacket.
Clemons and Bonnies in their black monk robes.
Lafitte's somber black attire.
Xiouyapufu was wearing a dark purple shirt and black trousers.
Even Baccarat wore this black bodysuit, which accentuated her sexy figure.
The Night Pirates, including all their members and officers, wore outfits primarily in black, with some unique stripes and decorations.
The last captain and first mate of the Night Pirates, unlike the other members, both sat on jewel-encrusted thrones.
Rediat wore a long robe, on which were printed some mysterious runes and dark purple dragon-shaped marks.
Teach, leaning back in his chair, wore an exquisitely crafted black pirate coat with elegant gold trim. His shirt was casually unbuttoned, revealing his muscular chest. His slightly wavy long hair swayed gently in the wind, and he gazed ahead with a faint smile, exuding the aura of a powerful figure.
The arrival of the Night Pirates seemed to divide the sky into two worlds, light and darkness, with the Navy representing light and the Night Pirates representing darkness, centered around Exo Island.
The Night Pirates have arrived; five pirate ships have docked, which means the war is about to begin.
Many people were pleasantly surprised by the Night Pirates' style of dress.
I was immediately struck by how cool the Night Pirates. Their clothes were clearly different from those on the market; they were custom-made. Not only were the styles different, but some members' clothes even had the Night Pirates' logo on them.
I didn't expect the Night Pirates to have this kind of move; I can't help but feel a little tempted.
Meanwhile, the entire world was watching this battle, and the members of the Night Pirates were either striking what they considered their coolest poses, or simply being completely at ease.
Through the footage, some viewers could also see that some members of the Night Pirates were playing cards, seemingly not taking the upcoming battle seriously at all.
Countless people are watching the live stream: the Buggy Pirates in the East Blue, and the Red-Haired Pirates in the South Blue.
Both former apprentice pirates of Roger Pirates have now formed their own pirate crews and recruited their own companions. Some of them are doing so through live video broadcasts, because the World Economic News's Transponder Snail has been updated and developed this function.
Others watched Morgans' live stream on a large screen, with many people gathered together.
In Sabaody Archipelago, District 13, an ordinary pub, "Shakky's Rip-off Bar," is closed and temporarily closed for the day.
Inside, in the dim light, a Transponder Snail was turned on, playing footage of the scene on Exo Island.
The viewers were Rayleigh and Shakky. "Has he grown to this level? He's improved so fast. I feel like I'm no match for him anymore." Rayleigh looked at Teach in the video. Through the video, he could judge Teach's approximate strength and couldn't help but sigh.
"Hehe! You're not old yet, and your strength hasn't declined, has it?" Shakky laughed when she heard Rayleigh's words, somewhat disbelieving. She knew Rayleigh's strength well; he was still at his peak and one of the world's top fighters.
"Haha, I haven't held a sword in three years, I can't take it anymore." Rayleigh chuckled, a slight stubble on his lip and his golden hair already streaked with gray. "This is the age of the young, you can't deny you're getting old."
The New World, the White Bird Pirates, the Whitebeard Pirates, the Flying Pirates, and all the other factions.
An Island of Akas.
Looking at the Night Pirates in the video, looking at "Dark Emperor" Teach in the video.
"Let's go, they must be getting impatient. It's time for a grand funeral for these navy men."
The pirate ship had already docked. Teach stood up from the throne, his strong and well-proportioned body reaching a height of 3.8 meters. His pirate coat fluttered in the wind as he looked into the distance and laughed.
Even through the footage, you can see "Dark Emperor" Teach's absolute confidence in this great battle.
"Let's go then. We'll keep this deck of cards for now and continue playing when we get back." Upon hearing this, the members who were playing cards nearby put down their cards and placed them on the deck.
"Let's come back and continue."
With a major battle imminent, their ability to play cards surprised viewers watching the live stream. They were incredibly composed and confident, even suggesting they'd return to the game later.
All members of the Night Pirates have landed on Exo Island, and those watching the live stream know that the battle is about to begin.
The half of the sky that had been eroded by darkness returned to its original state. Teach withdrew his power, and the light gradually brightened, and the atmosphere became less oppressive and heavy.
On the vast battlefield, unobstructed by trees, all the marines had reached the center. Looking into the distance, they knew that the Night Pirates had arrived and landed on Exo Island. Soon, the great battle would begin.
The three Marine Vice Admiral, who were at the forefront and candidates for Admiral, stood with their arms crossed. They had already sensed the powerful aura approaching them, and there were many different kinds of auras.
The pirates and media personnel watching from a distance observed the Night Pirates as they approached the center of the island, towards the Navy.
From afar, Teach and the Marines could see each other. Teach looked at the three Marine Vice Admiral at the head, a very confident smile on his face, and led all the members of the Night Pirates forward.
Gilman and his group were also looking at Teach and the Night Pirates. The Night Pirates overall strength gave them a great sense of intimidation.
Anyone who glances at them would recognize them as a formidable force, given that the Night Pirates had spent over half a year on Beast Island and their overall strength was far greater than it had been a year ago when they fought Vice Admiral Brom.
The two sides were getting closer and closer. "Let's start the war directly, Rediat. You'll be the one to start this great battle." Teach looked at the navy in the distance, which had an overwhelming numerical advantage, and then turned to Rediat beside him and laughed.
"Alright, finally we can have a big battle. I'll take care of that Miasma Devil Fruit User." Rediat nodded, looked into the distance, and leaped into the air, using Geppo to ascend further.
Rediat's actions instantly drew everyone's attention.
Morgans, as the "Big News Morgans," carried Transponder Snail and, using his Observation Haki, immediately detected Rediat's movements. He quickly followed up, and in conjunction with Teach's conversation with Rediat was about to make the first move.
The Night Pirates were less than a kilometer away from the Marines. Gilman, who were Marine Vice Admiral, naturally noticed Rediat's actions. They didn't know what Rediat was up to, but they knew that Rediat was not weak, so they couldn't help but feel wary.
Many naval soldiers also saw it and couldn't help but look up, their eyes falling on Rediat, who was flying into the air.
Similarly, there are viewers around the world watching the images on the screen.
Meanwhile, in the Tiresfa Kingdom, Meinz, who was watching the video, has now become the King of the Tiresfa Kingdom, a young and powerful king.
"It seems my brother is about to make a real move," Meinz remarked with a smile.
Most people stared wide-eyed at Rediat's transformation, noticing Rediat body rapidly growing larger and his entire body becoming covered in hard, obsidian-like dragon scales.
Everyone knew that Rediat was about to transform into his full beast form.
Finally, with a dragon's roar, the entire sky seemed to be shrouded in a huge shadow, and Rediat's fully transformed beast form was revealed to everyone. With wings sprouting, Rediat flapped his wings and hovered in the sky.
This colossal creature, hundreds of meters in size, was a jet-black dragon. It had spiral horns like a crown on its head, a robust body, hard, non-reflective scales, powerful claws and sharp teeth, a long, barbed black tail, and broad wings. A giant dragon was displayed before everyone's eyes.
This is Rediat's ability; even Teach was seeing Rediat's transformed form for the first time.
The instant it appeared, an invisible and powerful pressure pressed down, causing some marines to take a step back and fall to the ground.
"Father, this seems somewhat similar to your ability." In the royal palace of the Babarossa Kingdom, Yamato's eyes lit up Yamato he looked at Rediat's transformed dragon.
"It should be the dragon's might," Krell thought for a moment. "The powerful aura of dragons can inspire fear in people just by their presence. Only those with strong willpower can withstand it. However, this aura is still somewhat inferior to that of the governor."
"Of course, he's just a brat." Kaido looked up, took a big gulp of sake from his gourd, and drank it all in one go. Then he looked at Yamato, "Your ability isn't bad either, it will produce the same effect. I went through a lot of trouble to find this one, and you ate it because you were hungry. Don't waste this ability."
"Yeah, don't worry, I've learned the Thunder Bagua too." Yamato proudly pulled out his spiked club, though it didn't have any spikes.
Then, holding the stick with both hands, he swung it forward fiercely.
"Don't overestimate yourself. You didn't even get a single Thunderclap." Kaido retorted mercilessly.
However, the other members were somewhat surprised to see that the blow was quite powerful, creating a loud bang in the air.
As expected of the governor's child, he possesses such terrifying power at such a young age, coupled with that extremely precious and powerful ability.
"Hmph, old man, just you wait. Sooner or later, I'll smash your head in." Facing his father's mockery, young Yamato didn't back down, glaring at his father with some anger.
"Aurorouroro." Kaido laughed loudly, pulled out his spiked club from somewhere, and slammed it vertically into the ground. "Then come on, I'm always ready to accept your challenge. If it really comes to that, I'll give you my position, and you can do whatever you want then."
"Then it's settled." Yamato was quite excited.
On the other side, Rediat's transformation into a giant dragon stunned everyone. However, many of them had seen Kaido's transformation before, and Kaido's transformation was even more awe-inspiring, reaching a length of a thousand meters and soaring through the clouds.
Rediat flew through the air, looking down at the navy below. Faced with the enormous dragon, even their massive army felt incredibly small.
Combined with the powerful dragon's might and Conqueror's Haki, a powerful aura erupted, instantly engulfing all the marines. However, the marines were extremely tenacious, and not many fell as a result. Now, the morale of the marines is at its peak.
The presence of three Marine Admiral candidates at the forefront gave them a great deal of confidence.
Even so, this still damaged the morale of the navy, instilling fear and apprehension in them.
The combination of Conqueror's Haki and Dragon's Might is quite powerful.
Many more were surprised by Rediat's Conqueror's Haki. Rediat was also a powerful individual with the potential to become a king. It should be noted that those with the potential to become kings do not easily submit to others.
However, some people have pointed out that the two thrones on the Night Pirates' ship indicate that Rediat and Teach are of equal status.
However, with the addition of Ares, the "Fierce God" still in the New World, the Night Pirates now have three members with the potential to become kings.
Having the qualities of a king is not important; what is more important is the future potential of the Night Pirates, which rivals that of the Flying Pirates. In terms of high-end combat power, the Night Pirates will have three overlord-level powerhouses.
At this moment, Rediat was about to make his move. His transformation was not just about releasing Conqueror's Haki and showing off. Instead, Rediat raised his head high in the sky, and a huge amount of terrifying energy was gathering in his mouth.
At this moment, they all knew that Rediat was about to make his move, and this scene was familiar to many people in the New World. For some who had seen Kaido's videos, the feeling was exactly the same.
