Pirate Expo

Soon, news that the Night Pirates were going to hold Pirate Expo spread throughout the New World.

Countless people received the news, and various forces in the pirate world and the Underworld were shocked. This was big news, after all, in this chaotic era, no one had held Pirate Expo for a long time.

The time is one month from now, and the location is a beautiful island called Sicily Island in the northern part of the Night Pirates' territory. It is a Spring Island, full of flowers and originally belonged to other forces, but now it has been taken over by the Night Pirates.

Large-scale events like the Pirate Expo have unpredictable dates and locations, but travel and geographical factors definitely need to be taken into account.

It's too remote a place, too far away, and there might not even be any pirates coming.

Furthermore, the Pirate Expo being held again after many years, and the pirates of the New World are certainly looking forward to Expo, so it's sure to be a very lively event.

Currently, the Night Pirates have begun construction and renovation in Sicily Island, transforming it into an area large enough to accommodate a large number of pirates and facilitate their trade.

Moreover, this also concerns the reputation of the Night Pirates. If the Pirate Expo not well organized, it will definitely damage the reputation of the Night Pirates.

The Marine Headquarters, of course, wouldn't miss the message sent by the Night Pirates.

They held a meeting in response to this news.

Admiral Akainu, who is now stationed in the New World, has also rushed back to attend this meeting.

"The Pirate Expo? The biggest celebration for all pirates?" Sakazuki said in a deep voice, "As far as I remember, this Pirate Expo hasn't been held in a long time."

"Yes, it's been about eight years. Originally, someone planned to hold it, but it was interrupted due to the start of the Great Pirate Era. In recent years, the New World has been in turmoil, and the number of pirates has greatly increased. Everyone is expanding, so who would have thought of holding Pirate Expo?" Sengoku said, shaking his head.

"Not just anyone can host the biggest pirate festival; it requires someone with extremely high status and prestige in the pirate world."

Sengoku continued, "In the past ten years, the only Great Pirate who have the qualifications to be called this are the three old-time overlords: Golden Lion, Whitebeard, the late John, Ochoku, and Silver Axe, and now Big Mom Kaido have become the overlords of the seas."

"For Whitebeard, the Expo might not be as important as his son's birthday party. Big Mom is engrossed in her own tea party, and Kaido doesn't have the same interest either. Besides, their power has only taken shape in recent years, and they've been expanding all this time. The New World is full of wars, so who would be thinking about holding Pirate Expo?"

"As for Golden Lion, he hosted the last Golden Lion Pirate Expo."

"Dark Emperor Teach now has the qualifications. Their unusual ceasefire with the Whitebeard Pirates seems to indicate they're planning to hold Pirate Expo."

"But what is their purpose?" Sengoku, who had become Marshal, frowned as he asked this question.

"They probably want to expand their influence and prepare to become the Sea Emperor. Besides, they have just finished the war and expanded their territory so much that their morale is high," a Marine General said, offering his guess.

The other naval personnel nodded in agreement; this was their thought as well.

"I remember now!" Garp suddenly shouted, "Wasn't the last Expo hosted by the Golden Lion?"

"Garp, are you sleeping? I just said that!" Sengoku shouted, somewhat annoyed. He had been pleased to see Garp deep in thought, but now he realized Garp was pondering such a foolish question.

So I wasn't really listening to him at all.

"Oh, really? Haha." Garp chuckled and picked his nose.

"But it's really impressive that you still remember something like this!" Sengoku sneered at Garp.

"Haha! Of course I remember that." Garp chuckled, then scratched his head, lost in thought. "I even sneaked in there to play... no, to gather intelligence."

"How come I didn't know about this?" Sengoku's eyes widened upon hearing this.

The other Marine General around were all shocked. That was the Pirate Expo! Even those who didn't know about it had heard of it beforehand. Bounties easily exceeded 10 billion, and there were many Great Pirate, numbering in the tens of thousands.

Garp had even infiltrated the area, but they knew Vice Admiral Garp personality well; he was completely unsuitable for such infiltration work.

Sengoku's eye twitched violently, then he couldn't help but ask, "How did you manage to sneak in?"

"It's easy! I just said I'm Monkey D. Zephyr, the captain of the Sengoku Pirates, and I got in." Garp, completely oblivious to Sengoku's increasingly dangerous gaze, kept saying, "This time when we're going to play... I mean, gather intelligence, you absolutely must remember to bring me along."

"Great Buddha Shockwave!" A burst of intense golden light erupted from Sengoku's body.

Bang!

"Phew! That feels so good!" Sengoku exclaimed.

"Fleet Admiral Sengoku, this wall..." Looking at the wall with a huge hole blasted into the shape of a human, Vice Admiral Garp had already been blasted away somewhere. At the same time, the building that Garp had smashed and damaged was also severely damaged. The Navy officer recording the events next to him asked with a twitching mouth.

"Ugh!" Sengoku rubbed his temples. "Put it on my head. Get compensation from the construction team after the meeting."

Sakazuki took a deep breath and asked, "So, Teach wants to use the Expo further boost his influence?"

"That's just one reason. As for whether there are other plans, we don't know." Sengoku shook his head. "I wonder what impact the Pirate Expo will have on the current situation in the New World?"

After saying that, he turned and left, saying, "That's enough for today. Take care and get some rest."

This meeting was only temporary; he still had a lot of work to do. Only after becoming Fleet Admiral did Sengoku realize that there were far more things to do than before—from all over the world, from Affiliated Nation, and from pirates.

The main problem is that the ocean is too chaotic right now, unless it stabilizes in a few years.

The New World, Moby Dick.

"Pirate Expo? I haven't heard that name in a long time." Whitebeard sighed upon hearing the news.

"Teach beat us to it! The Teach Pirate Expo should have been hosted by Pops!" one member said, somewhat annoyed. They, the Whitebeard Pirates, had never hosted Pirate Expo.

"Gurararara, since you want to, we can hold one in a few years." The Whitebeard laughed heartily when he saw that many children had the same idea.

Although he didn't have such thoughts, since his son wanted to do it, he had no reason to refuse, as long as his son was happy.

Moreover, he also knew the benefits of holding the Pirate Expo.

"We also have a lot of useless stuff, which is perfect for selling. It's been so many years since the Pirate Expo was held; this year's Pirate Expo sure to be a huge hit," said a member of the Whitebeard Pirates.

"Anyone who wants to go can go then. The situation here still needs Pops to keep things under control." The Whitebeard Pirates Pirate Expo times, and they always gain a lot.

Participation would certainly have its advantages, especially since this is a feast for pirates. Even if he couldn't attend, he would still need to send someone over.

The Beasts Pirates.

Inside the enormous palace.

"The Pirate Expo? How boring." Kaido of the Beasts listened to the news with some disdain. He had hardly ever participated in the Pirate Expo. Although he had established a pirate crew, he was more like a lone wolf and not good at managing it. His power had only been built up in recent years.

"Governor, the Expo auction should have quite a few good items. Since the Night Pirates are the organizers, they should set an example. There should be a lot of Devil Fruit trading and auctions at the Expo," Krell said with a squinting smile. "Moreover, the gathering of a large number of pirates is also a good opportunity for each pirate crew to recruit members. We should be able to recruit a batch of new members."

When Krell said that, Kaido understood what he meant and became somewhat interested. Kaido was mainly attracted by the Devil Fruit that might appear.

Although he hadn't attended the Pirate Expo many times, he was still quite familiar with it. Various factions possessed many valuable items that were traded or auctioned at the Expo, including Devil Fruit.

Devil Fruit that are rarely seen in the past are quite common at the Expo, and sometimes even some rare ones will appear. Although Kaido has never participated before, he has heard a lot of rumors about him. As the organizer, the Night Pirates will definitely bring out some good items.

This can be described as a large-scale auction, as auctions are an important activity of the Expo.

With the Beasts Pirates growing rapidly and supported by a kingdom, they are not short of funds. If they could acquire the Devil Fruit would undoubtedly be a good thing.

Kaido, dedicated to building Zoan army, is using the power of the Beasts Pirates to continuously collect Zoan Devil Fruit, especially the rare and precious Ancient Species and even Mythical Zoan.

With each additional one, the Beasts Pirates will gain another powerful executive.

With that in mind, Kaido made a plan. "Since that's the case, let's go there, with Laimer and Gates."

Laimer, the former prince of the Kate Kingdom, is now a member of the Beasts Pirates. Having joined the Beasts Pirates for many years and possessing immense power, he has fully matured and can be considered a near-disaster.

Needless to say, Gates, a ferocious beast who obtained the Giant-Type Devil Fruit, has, after some training, not only retained his bestial nature but also gained much more humanity. He has learned to speak and can communicate normally.

Taller than a giant, with a body exceeding thirty meters, he possessed immense intimidation. Moreover, Gates listened to Krell and allowed Krell to go over so that he could broaden his horizons.

Moreover, Krell is quite strong now, having grown under Kaido's tutelage, and with the powerful abilities of Mythical Zoan, Kaido is not worried about his safety.

Like the Whitebeard Pirates, Kaido won't go there, but he has deployed a powerful force. If there are huge profits to be made, and he spends a lot of money to buy the Devil Fruit, it will be difficult to defend them without power, and they might even be stolen.

These three are the core members of the Beasts Pirates, and few dare to mess with them.

"Well, well, the Expo? I haven't heard of this in a long time. Since that guy from the Night Pirates wants to hold it, let's participate. Other forces won't miss it either." Big Mom said with a smile while eating dessert.

"Since Katakuri isn't here, Perospero, Oven, Amande, could you go in my place? If you have any good desserts, that would be even better. I heard the Night Pirates have close ties with Fish-Man Island, and they even sell Fish-Man Island desserts."

"Yes, Mom!" They were well aware of their mother's preferences.

Perospero is Big Mom's eldest son. He has developed the simple Lick-Lick Fruit to an extremely high level, possessing immense strength and a bounty exceeding 500 million Beli. He is clear-headed, has excellent tactical skills, and serves as the strategist in Big Mom Pirates.

Oven is Big Mom's fourth son, Paramecia Heat-Heat Devil Fruit User, and a powerful monster in the Big Mom Pirates.

Amande, Big Mom's third daughter, is a powerful and ruthless female swordswoman with the blood of the Snake-Head Tribe. On the battlefield, she earned the title of "Demon Lady" for the Big Mom Pirates.

Most of Big Mom's children are still very young and haven't matured. Even though they start going to the battlefield early, only a few are truly capable and can stand on their own.

The Flying Pirates, Sky Kingdom, the highest giant island, on a huge lion statue, Golden Lion Shiki laughs heartily.

"The Expo? How interesting! Let's send someone to participate."

Standing on high ground, looking down at the islands below, the sea of clouds, and the azure ocean below, he felt as if he were the master of the world.

At his current level, there aren't many things that matter to him anymore. He has his own plans. Becoming the Pirate King is meaningless to Golden Lion. His ambition is well-known: he wants to become the King of the World.

This is why the World Government and the Navy are particularly wary of the Flying Pirates. After the establishment of the Sky Kingdom, the Flying Pirates Night Pirates.

Moreover, they didn't know what Shiki, who was temporarily silent, was doing, which made them even more wary.

With the news of the Expo, many pirate crews sprang into action, along with countless other pirates, mostly new-era pirates who were extremely curious about the Expo.

The pirates' feast, the Dark Festival, is far more captivating than imagined.

According to reliable intelligence, the number of people at this Expo.

One can imagine what a magnificent sight it will be. The Night Pirates have also put a lot of effort into preparing for this, and naturally do not want the event to be ruined.

In addition, the underground dark world, with its various dark forces and their rulers, has also begun to mobilize. Although it's a feast for pirates, they won't miss such an event.

"Big News Morgans" Morgans, "Queen of the Pleasure District" Stussy, and others.

The holding of a Pirate Expo stirred up waves, captivating the hearts of countless people and adding new vitality to the war-torn New World.
