Adjustment

"Mostima, make arrangements so they can meet up first." Teach smiled at Mostima and pointed to two pictures on the table, one of a smile and the other of "Gentleman."

"Them? Teach, what do you mean?" Mostima understood Teach's meaning.

According to his intelligence, Yixiao is a person with a strong sense of justice who cannot stand the behavior of "Gentleman".

In the final round, to ensure his number of wins and obtain the Seven Star Sword, "Gentleman" will absolutely not hold back. Although he can rely on the power of CP0, if he can obtain it through his own strength, why should he rely on others? This would only make the members of CP0 look down on him.

The "Gentleman" was also aware that some people within the World Government and CP0 disapproved of his actions, his willfulness, his disregard for the rules of CP0 and the World Government, and his insistence on having the World Government clean up his mess.

The World Government's patience has its limits. Although he is strong, an uncontrollable powerhouse is meaningless to the World Government. To create a powerful individual, immense strength combined with Devil Fruit is easily achievable.

He wasn't strong enough to be a world-class fighter like "Steelbow" Sora, so he went to great lengths to create a commander-in-chief to keep Sora in the army.

By this point, some people's goals were clear: the rewards from the Night Pirates were incredibly generous, including Great Grade Sword, the "Demon Sword" Seven Star Sword, precious ores, and forging materials.

Aside from Mihawk, who already possesses the Supreme Great Grade Sword, the strongest Black Blade Yoru, the goal of everyone else is basically the Supreme Great Grade Sword Twilight.

The ultimate Great Grade Swords is the highest pursuit of a swordsman.

Even if one cannot obtain it, if one can acquire precious ores and have a top-notch swordsmith, one can certainly forge a handy Famous Sword that is no less than the Great Grade Swords.

The mysterious swordsman's target is the "Demon Sword" Seven Star Sword. Once he obtains it, it will be like adding wings to a tiger, and his strength will likely rise to another level.

Similarly, each of these demonic swords carries an ominous meaning, signifying the inevitability of bloodshed, and many people do not wish for this swordsman to obtain them.

Yi Xiao is undoubtedly one of them. He will definitely do everything in his power to stop and defeat "Gentleman," even if it means getting seriously injured himself. As long as he can affect "Gentleman's" condition and prevent him from being in perfect condition to deal with the next battle, then "Gentleman" will be out of luck with the Seven Star Sword.

After all, only the top three ranked individuals can choose between the Twilight Sword and the Seven Star Sword. If no one chooses them, they will naturally be taken back into the Night Pirates' Curry.

Thus, Yixiao and the "Gentleman" began to have a grudge.

Teach's scheme was involved. Nobody knew that Issho would become Marine Admiral in the future. If they could incite a conflict between Issho and CP0, it would definitely thwart Issho's idea of joining the Marines.

After all, the Navy belongs to the World Government.

What will the future hold? Teach can't say for sure, but one can imagine the navy's strength; the overall power of the reorganized navy will skyrocket.

Unlike the future lack of successors, Teach has already had a very wide impact, and perhaps a monster with the potential to become Admiral will join the Navy.

The Night Pirates will inevitably clash with the Navy in the future, so it's essential to weaken the Navy beforehand.

That's not certain; it's possible that Issho will still join the Navy.

"I understand." Mostima nodded. He would handle this. They were the ones who organized the kendo tournament, so manipulating things would be a piece of cake.

In any case, each swordsman needs to fight a battle; it's just a matter of adjusting the order of the battles.

"Teach, are you trying to recruit him?" Mostima asked, unaware of Teach's deeper thoughts, assuming that Teach had designs on the swordsman named Smile.

Teach shook his head at this. "He probably won't join us, but we'll see. These things are a matter of fate."

At the very least, Yixiao can be considered righteous, and the probability of him joining the pirate camp is not high. The Night Pirates are not a charity. Although the order in the Night Sea Domain is well managed, absolute strength is still the most important factor.

Aside from special abilities, in the Night Pirates, to achieve a higher status, one needs greater strength.

The final round consisted of a total of fifty-five battles. The Kendo tournament seemed somewhat cumbersome, even troublesome, mainly because there were just too many battles.

In a typical competition, advancing usually only requires one battle, unlike a kendo tournament where advancement is determined by the number of wins after continuous battles.

However, this is not a bad thing. Such events attract worldwide attention, and the longer they last, the greater the influence of the Combat Pyramid will become.

During the kendo tournament, other pirates or lone seafarers continued to arrive in the Night Sea Domain.

The construction of the Combat Pyramid cost so Beli, they'll definitely take advantage of the kendo tournament to make a fortune first.

Aside from the contestants, everyone else spent a huge amount of Beli in the Combat Pyramid, especially pirate crews like the Whitebeard Pirates, with hundreds or even thousands of members coming to the Night Pirates' territory, spending an astonishing amount of Beli every day.

And these Beli were basically all pocketed by the Night Pirates, and the same was true for the other major powers.

Most of the facilities and industries on the entire Pagila Island belong to the Night Pirates. It's no exaggeration to say they make a fortune every day, easily earning 100 million Beli a day.

However, the hype will definitely die down after the kendo tournament.

After indulging in food, drink, and entertainment at the Combat Pyramid, many people suddenly find themselves out of money. In order to earn money, those with decent skills register in the Combat Pyramid and earn money through battles.

After adjustments, the battles in the lower arena of the Combat Pyramid were extremely intense during the break of the Kendo Tournament. Through the transition of the Kendo Tournament, the Combat Pyramid can be said to have entered the right track.

Plans never keep up with changes. The Night Pirates originally planned to open registration after the Kendo Tournament, but they have clearly found a more effective method.

During periods of boredom, fighting becomes a way to pass the time, and even members of the Four Emperors' crews and some well-known pirates have joined the battles of the Combat Pyramid.

The constant battles made the Combat Pyramid even more famous. The battles raged on all night long, and the lights in some of the arenas inside the Combat Pyramid never went out.

Some star players have emerged, proving their strength through numerous battles.

The inside of the Combat Pyramid a completely different world from the outside; some people who go in don't want to leave.

However, without Beli, it's impossible to survive in the Combat Pyramid without a certain level of strength. Those who are weak won't earn any money and will be eliminated.

There are many people like this.

Some people want to make money and get rewards, while others simply want to hone their skills and improve their strength by Combat Pyramid.

The most valuable reward in the Combat Pyramid has changed. It was originally the Ancient Species Crocodile-Crocodile Fruit, in the Crocodile Form, but it was taken by the Beasts Pirates during the chaotic battle between the Four Emperors and the Night Pirates.

After that, there was a gap in the top reward, but a few days ago, the throne of the top reward in the Combat Pyramid welcomed its owner: a Logia Devil Fruit, the Snow-Snow Fruit.

The fact that Logia, even rarer and more powerful than Ancient Species, was offered as a reward by the Night Pirates not only showcased their immense wealth but also intensified the battles in the Combat Pyramid Night Pirates.

Everyone is constantly fighting, winning, hoping to earn more points and then get them.

This is a process that tests both time and ability, and many people are curious about who will be the first to obtain it.

This Snow-Snow Fruit was given to Doflamingo. After obtaining this Devil Fruit, Doflamingo did not keep it; instead, he gave it to the Night Pirates.

The Donquixote Pirates still need the support of the Night Pirates for their development, and the strength and potential shown by the Night Pirates have increased Doflamingo's desire for further cooperation with them.

The relationship must at least not be severed, and their collaboration has been going on for several years.

Although the Donquixote Family has grown rapidly and even established the foundation of a kingdom, the gap between them and the Night Pirates is actually widening.

Compared to the formidable strength and vast territory of the Night Pirates, the Donquixote Pirates Night Pirates simply not in the same league.

Arriving at the territory of the Night Pirates and witnessing Night Pirates terror firsthand, Doflamingo became somewhat afraid, fearing that the Night Pirates wouldn't need to cooperate with him.

Currently, for Doflamingo, there is no more suitable backer or partner than the Night Pirates. The Night Pirates are wealthy and can provide substantial funding for his development.

They also possess considerable strength, capable of providing him with protection, and have a foundation of years of cooperation.

Doflamingo's current foundation in the New World is still somewhat weak. Without a powerful background, it will be difficult for him to develop in the New World's Underworld.

The arms trade they relied on didn't work in the New World because the powerful Brotherhood controlled most of the arms trade New World.

Although he did intend to give it a shot, he had no intention of defeating the Brotherhood. Even without Douglas Bullet, he would have difficulty dealing with the Brotherhood, which had already become a force to be reckoned with.

They're only aiming to grab a small share; their main focus remains on the four seas and the first half of the Grand Line.

Moreover, his own strength is still insufficient. In the New World, he can be considered good, but he cannot be regarded as a true strongman.

Compared to the original story, they entered the New World many years earlier. Although they worked harder, their strength was still insufficient, and their Devil Fruit had not been fully developed to the point of Awakening.

At only twenty-two years old, Doflamingo was already considered a true monster by many, and a name that could be called in the New World.

Therefore, Doflamingo entrusted this precious Logia Devil Fruit to Teach, and to be honest, he felt a pang of guilt.

Originally, he planned to give the Devil Fruit to one of his own subordinates to eat.

"Heavenly Yaksha, I thought you would come to me when you personally delivered the Snow-Snow Fruit to me." In the hall of the seventeenth floor, Teach smiled as he looked at Doflamingo sitting opposite him.

Doflamingo glanced around, a different feeling creeping into his mind. This was a place ordinary people couldn't normally enter; only true powerhouses could.

Actually, there's nothing special about it; it just looks a bit luxurious. The main reason is probably Doflamingo's psychological effect.

Everyone knows about the seventeenth-floor lobby, but very few people actually go inside, which naturally makes it a place of longing.

"Baboon, baboon, I was just worried you'd be too busy, Dark Emperor. I just happened to come over during this free time after the Kendo Tournament." Doflamingo crossed his legs and took a sip of Monkey Wine.

"Speak, what is it?" Teach asked. There was no conflict of interest between them, and Teach still held the dominant position in terms of strength and influence, so their relationship was quite harmonious.

It's been mostly Devil Fruit transactions for a long time, so it's quite rare for Doflamingo to take the initiative to approach him.

Teach was also curious about what Doflamingo was up to.

"I'd like to open an auction house on Pagila Island. That shouldn't be a problem, right?"

Doflamingo's abilities are top-notch; otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to develop the Donquixote Family's power so well. Teach merely provided Beli's support, which accelerated Doflamingo's expansion and development.

Now, he has seen the immense money-making potential of the Combat Pyramid, the entire Pagila Island, the massive influx of people, and the many pirates and powerful figures attracted by the Combat Pyramid. If he were to open an auction house on Pagila Island, he would surely reap huge profits.

There is no auction house on Pagila Island. On other islands, there may be some small auction houses or underground auction houses.

This is a blank space, serving as the core territory of the Night Pirates, but also a place where all sorts of people mingle due to the existence of the Combat Pyramid.

Doflamingo's plan is naturally to open a large auction house, and as the first auction house on Pagila Island, he can be the first to try something new and quickly Daimyo.

At the same time, one can also obtain information about the Night Pirates and Pagila Island through the auction house.

Before doing this, we definitely need to inform the Dark Night Pirates obtain their consent; otherwise, it would be impossible to get involved.

The entire Pagila Island belongs to the Night Pirates. Without a doubt, no one can cause any trouble without the Night Pirates' permission.

There was no fairness in this so-called competition, because this was the Night Pirates' home turf, and no one could compete with them.

An auction house would be more suitable, as auctions would be meaningless for the Night Pirates. For example, they don't even have enough Devil Fruit to supply their own crew members, so why would they put them up for auction?

The Night Pirates are not short of money, and their ability to make money through the Combat Pyramid is explosive, which Doflamingo envies but cannot imagine. The right time, place, and people are all indispensable, and he does not have that ability.

"Of course, that's no problem."

Teach did not refuse this offer. Absorbing external funds to expand his territory would benefit the development of the Night Sea Domain, and this was necessary.

Doflamingo wasn't the only one with this idea; some underground figures and kings of the underworld had already discussed cooperation with Teach.

Stussy, the "Queen of the Pleasure District," wants to establish a red-light district in the territory of the Night Pirates. However, she only mentioned the idea and knows nothing about the Night Pirates' territory, nor does she know where it would be located.

However, they should send someone to contact us after the kendo tournament.

"However, the 30% profit margin is non-negotiable, and everyone gets the same share," Teach said confidently, believing that Doflamingo would agree.

A 30% profit margin isn't unreasonable, but it's not a small amount either; it's just right. In some ruthless places, half or even 60-70% of the profits are handed over.

Doflamingo wouldn't care about such a small profit; he was already mentally prepared, and a 30% profit was well within his acceptable range.

"Baboon, baboon, it's settled then. Once the location is confirmed, we can begin construction." (To be continued)
