The massive war that is about to erupt in the Golden Sea not only overshadows the chaotic battles in the New World's Chaos Sea, but also eclipses the news of the Night Pirates launching a war.

Countless people are watching to see what the final outcome will be. Although the Night Pirates were secretly pushing things along, this result was Teach hadn't anticipated.

It was initially thought that this war could continue for some time.

The actions of the Affiliated Nation were not Teach had anticipated. After all, no one is perfect, and he underestimated the influence of the Affiliated Nation, as there were many intelligent people among Affiliated Nation.

The war in the Golden Sea was not only a struggle for interests, but also indirectly affected the interests of countless people.

Even those who did not participate would be greatly affected. The actions of the Affiliated Nation were reasonable and actually shortened the war that should have lasted longer.

The World Government is already expanding its military, and this news can no longer be concealed. Gaya Island's fighting strength was already somewhat inferior to that of the World Government, and now it is even more so.

Teach, who has inside connections, has already obtained firsthand intelligence.

The World Government has dispatched an Army Admiral on top of the original four Admiral -level combatants.

The Devil Fruit User the Ancient Vulture, an Ancient Zoan Ancient Species, is only considered average among the Admiral. This is typical for Army Admiral, and the gap between them and the Navy is significant.

However, the massive army, with its combined land and navy numbering 150,000, also includes many elite officers.

This is something that Gaya Island cannot compare to.

This is the first time in recent years that World Government has dispatched such an unprecedentedly powerful force.

In the memories of some older generations, the last time seems to be about twenty years ago, when a war changed the world order and completely destroyed the Rocks Dynasty.

Of course, it is still far from sufficient in terms of top combat strength, but the scale of the war is already close to that level.

Such a massive army could easily wage war against the Sea Emperor.

The emergence of the army also demonstrated the depth of the World Government's power.

CP0 is also secretly involved. Although there are no top-tier experts among them, everyone who becomes a member of CP0 is an elite at the Vice Admiral level.

According to information from Stephanie, CP0 received orders from the World Government to deploy a total of twelve members, two of whom are top-tier members of CP0. One is "Glutton Demon," a Paramecia Suction-Suction Devil Fruit User, capable of absorbing attacks and attracting, similar to the Gravity-Gravity Fruit and also somewhat similar to the Dark-Dark Fruit's absorption ability.

This Devil Fruit is also a top-tier Paramecia Devil Fruit.

The other one is the Gentleman. According to Stephanie's description, the "Gentleman" is about the same strength as the "Glutton Demon," which means that these two are barely considered to be at the Admiral level.

Having witnessed "Gentleman's " prowess, Teach was well aware of his strength. How easy is it to reach the level of Admiral? Perhaps "Gentleman" was strong in terms of lethality, but in Teach's opinion, "Gentleman" did not yet reach the level of Admiral in terms of overall strength.

However, the forces dispatched by the World Government are absolutely terrifying, whether overt or covert.

If they underestimate the World Government and the forces they send are insufficient, the Golden Sea will be out of their reach, and they will suffer enormous losses. Countless powerful figures from the New World reside in the Golden Sea; they are the pillars of major powers.

At that time, this will be a huge blow to the power of the New World pirates, one that they will find difficult to withstand.

The Night Pirates also have three important officers in the Golden Sea: Gari, Lafitte, and Nelson.

Teach's expression was uncertain, his brows furrowed, and his fingers tapped lightly on the armrest of the throne as he pondered.

Plans can never keep up with changes.

"Mostima, put the expansion plan on hold until the Golden Sea Battle is over," Teach said softly.

"Hmm." Mostima nodded. He was well aware of this. No one would give up the interests of the Golden Sea. War could break out at any time, but if the Golden Sea was lost, it was very likely that it could not be taken back.

Moreover, they share the common enemy of the World Government with other forces due to their interests in the Golden Sea. Launching a war at this time, pushing each other further, and causing mutual losses is not a wise choice.

Of course, shelving the plan does not mean stopping the expansion. A huge fleet has been dispatched, so it is not so easy to stop. The resources mobilized have cost a lot.

However, they will prioritize avoiding powerful pirate crews like the Whitebeard Pirates and focus on those with shared interests in the Golden Sea. As for other forces, they will ignore them.

They simply postponed the war with them until later.

"Let Rediat and Shiryu take a group of men to support Gaya Island. The fighting there is quite intense. Let them decide for themselves."

The presence of Rediat and Shiryu demonstrates Teach's emphasis on this battle.

"Understood." Mastima said seriously. The outcome of the Golden Sea War will affect the pattern of the world no matter what.

"We must win the Golden Sea Battle. I will personally intervene if necessary. Before that, I need to have a good talk with the others." A fierce glint flashed in Teach's eyes.

Since the war in the Golden Sea was not going as he had anticipated, he would forcefully reverse it and turn it into the situation he wanted.

Perhaps the World Government already believes victory is assured; let's give them a surprise.

"Yes." Mostima's eyes flashed, and then he slowly withdrew. The others were naturally the Four Emperors. Although they left, they had exchanged contact information with each other.

Now that something like this has happened, it's natural to inform them. The World Government's forces are so massive that the Night Pirates alone simply cannot handle them.

They need other forces to share the burden, otherwise everyone will suffer enormous losses. For now, they can be said to be in a situation where everyone prospers or suffers.

Four Den Den Mushi were placed in front of them, Den Den Mushi at a different angle, allowing them to see the figures of the other four people simultaneously.

Luckily, after a short while, the two Transponder Snail turned on one after the other, projecting images of Whitebeard and Golden Lion through the Den Den Mushi's eyes.

"Teach, what brings you here?" Golden Lion Shiki chuckled. At the same time, he noticed Whitebeard and two other Den Den Mushi that appeared shortly afterward, indicating that Teach had notified not only him, but also three other Sea Emperor.

Golden Lion and Whitebeard exchanged a glance. In the past year, they had fought more than once, and many of their subordinates had died at the hands of the other pirate crew.

Whitebeard saw it too, gave a cold snort, and said nothing.

"Let's wait a bit until the other two show up; this is very important," Teach said with a smile.

Luckily, Big Mom was enjoying her dessert when the Den Den Mushi rang. Her subordinates immediately noticed and ran over to inform her.

"Teach, you've disturbed my mealtime." Big Mom reached for a dessert, put it in her mouth, and laughed. Then, noticing Golden Lion and Whitebeard, her eyes lit up. "Well! I didn't expect you two to be here too. Looks like something's up."

"Wait for Kaido. If he doesn't know where to commit suicide, then we don't need to worry about him," Shiki said bluntly.

Just as Shiki finished speaking, Kaido's Transponder Snail lit up, revealing Kaido's tall figure.

"You're all here. It seems you initiated this meeting, Teach. What's the matter?"

Holding a gourd of wine in his hand, he seemed slightly tipsy, indicating he had just been drinking. However, he appeared to be in good spirits, at least maintaining basic rationality.

"Now that everyone is here, I'll begin," Teach said with a light laugh, drawing the attention of all four Sea Emperors.

"It concerns the Golden Sea Battle; I feel it's necessary to inform you."

Upon hearing Teach's words, the four of them focused their attention, becoming serious. They had also been closely following the Golden Sea Battle.

"Through a small connection, I've obtained the full force that the World Government has deployed, both overt and covert, specifically targeting Gaya Island..." Teach told them about the World Government's forces without any concealment, because there was no point in doing so.

After saying this, Whitebeard and his crew looked solemn; the force dispatched by the World Government far exceeded their expectations.

They basically only knew about the World Government's increase in military strength, and as for the second Army Admiral, only Golden Lion, who had the best intelligence, knew a little about him.

Unexpectedly, twelve mysterious CP0 members were secretly involved.

At the same time, they looked at Teach with some strangeness. What was their relationship? How could he even obtain information about CP0, which was supposed to be within the World Government?

I never expected Teach to be so well hidden, possessing such a powerful intelligence network. In terms of establishing his power, Teach much later than them.

He secretly thought to himself that he needed to speed up the development of intelligence among his subordinates. The Night Pirates were able to infiltrate the World Government, so the Navy was naturally no less capable. In this respect, they were far inferior. Who knew if his own pirate crew had any members of the Night Pirates as spies?

However, the most important thing at the moment was still the Golden Sea Battle. At this point, they also understood why Teach had sought them out.

Remind them not to be careless; the forces sent by the World Government are very powerful.

"So? What are you planning to do?" Shiki asked Teach. Since Teach had come to them, it was obviously not just to tell them this.

Given the Night Pirates' usual style, they have likely already devised a countermeasure.

"No matter what, we can't give up the Golden Sea. We can't abandon the Golden Sea, so we can't lose this war." Teach narrowed his eyes.

Whitebeard and his crew were aware of this as well; the World Government's acquisition of the Golden Sea would be extremely disadvantageous to them.

"My plan is to drag the war out as long as possible, until the World Government can no longer hold out, and then they will naturally surrender on their own initiative."

"Therefore, we need to send out a stronger force to help Gaya Island hold out for as long as possible. Our Night Pirates have already sent Rediat, Shiryu, and many other members."

"CP0 is definitely hiding its strength, waiting to be used as a trump card to decide the outcome at a crucial moment. At that time, we also need to act, delivering a fatal blow to the World Government's coalition forces and deciding the outcome of the war."

"We don't need to send all of them, just two or three will suffice. We also need to assess their hidden abilities so that the World Government Navy can't detect them. Otherwise, the World Government might send even more powerful individuals."

Teach's plan was very simple: first, he needed to strengthen the forces on Gaya Island to withstand the war against the World Government's coalition.

The World Government's CP0 members are definitely a trump card; once they make a move, they won't be able to react at all, so constant vigilance is necessary.

CP0 will not take action until then.

However, the World Government never imagined that Teach and his team had already learned all their Teach cards.

It's conceivable that if CP0 doesn't intervene, Teach and his team send out more powerful individuals, the pressure they'll face will actually be much less.

The final, fatal blow to the World Government coalition was also crucial; CP0 was their trump card, and they, naturally, were also their trump card.

When that time comes, you can imagine the World Government's reaction. They thought victory was assured when CP0 intervened, only to be met with another reversal.

They could all imagine that scene.

"Then who will make a move?" the Whitebeard asked.

This requires strong maneuverability, preferably the ability to fly, and the ability to remain undetected by the World Government Navy.

It's one thing for him to disappear without a trace, but countless people are watching him. He was fighting in the Chaos Sea, and then he vanished in an instant. Anyone could see that something was wrong, and besides, his whereabouts were impossible to hide.

Apart from him, Kaido, Big Mom Shiki, and Teach all possess the ability to fly.

The candidates will naturally be chosen from among them.

"Shiki and I are stronger in aerial and naval combat, and we can inflict greater casualties on the World Government's coalition forces," Teach said. This wasn't just casual talk; both Big Mom and Kaido are better at head-on combat.

Although Kaido can transform into a dragon, his strongest form is still his Human-Beast Form.

Although they all possess the unique skills of the Elbaf Giant race, which allow them to attack over a wide area.

However, its capabilities in naval and air combat are relatively weak.

"Besides, I don't usually take action. As for Shiki, the probability of him being targeted is relatively small. Just to be on the safe side, he can have a big battle with Whitebeard before the time is right."

"Kaido and Linlin, you two target the Navy of the New World. I will also have Ares cooperate with you, but we should wait until we are at a disadvantage in the Golden Sea Battle before making our move."

"They're trying to pressure the Navy into stopping the war for the sake of the Golden Sea, but the World Government certainly won't let the war stop or easily compromise with us. They don't realize that our real target is the war in the Golden Sea." Teach chuckled, seemingly in complete control.

The plan was actually quite simple and straightforward, with each step meticulously planned. They all understood that the core of the plan was that they already knew the World Government's trump card.

They were all quite satisfied with the plan; as long as the news didn't leak out, they were basically certain of victory.

As for whether there will be any hidden forces? It's impossible for the Navy to do so. At that time, Zephyr, Sengoku, or even the Admiral Sengoku might take action. The Marine Headquarters will need an Admiral to guard it, along with Admiral Kizaru. Garp might also return.

They will be tied down in the New World.

Even if the World Government has some hidden trump cards or world-class combat power, with Teach and Golden Lion Shiki around, there's nothing to fear.

At most, the losses might be greater.

Thinking of this, they all smiled. The cooperation between the five captains of the World's Strongest pirate crews, through the video screen, was a toast to each other, seemingly celebrating their future victory.

Although they were rivals, they are now partners.
