Actions in the Dark

In the Night Sea Domain, the vast fleet moved somewhat slower due to Teach's orders.

The great battle in the Golden Sea disrupted their original plans, and they also received news that, under the leadership of "Shadow Dragon" Rediat, some people would be going to participate in the war in the Golden Sea.

This was entirely voluntary, without any coercion. They were also aware that the war in the Golden Sea would be far more brutal.

Moreover, both are wars, and participating in either one would be advantageous to the Night Pirates.

War is all about high-level combat power, so Teach specifically ordered Rediat and Shiryu stay. As for the rest of the people, they are not really important.

Moreover, the journey is long, and the only way to provide rapid support is through the Flying Pirates' airships.

The Flying Pirates now possess the technology to build spaceships capable of flying in the sky, but due to limitations in technology and energy, they cannot build very large spaceships, and the number is also limited.

A single airship can hold up to two hundred people, and the Flying Pirates only have fifty airships in total, which can transport up to ten thousand reinforcements at a time.

At most, one round trip will require another half month for repairs and recharging.

This could be considered the Flying Pirates' secret weapon, and the technology is still immature.

They wouldn't have brought it out if it weren't for the victory in the Golden Sea Battle.

It seems the Flying Pirates have acquired quite a few valuable items from their management of Sky Island.

Nowadays, the Sky Island in the New World are all affiliated forces of the Flying Pirates.

With the addition of the Flying Pirates' Sky Island Group, the Sky Kingdom truly deserves the title of Sky Overlord.

Spaceships have a significant advantage. First, they fly high into the sky, making them difficult to detect. And there are very few people who can fly, so even if you want to snipe them, you can only send out a small force, just a few people.

Pirate ships broke away from the main force, carrying members who wanted to participate in the Golden Sea Battle. They gathered together, then left the Night Sea Domain and headed towards an island in the central part of the New World.

That's the territory of the Flying Pirates, and also the gathering place for the combined reinforcements of various forces. The spaceship is stationed on that island and will take off from there.

The current situation among the various forces in the New World is somewhat strange. Due to the Golden Sea Battle, they have formed an alliance, but their wars have not stopped; at most, they have only slightly subsided.

That's what pirates are like; whether they cooperate or fight, it's all for their own benefit.

In reality, the Night Pirates' support wouldn't have required such trouble; Rediat's ability could have easily brought them there using the Shadow Space.

However, since it's a collaboration, it's better to work together, which will also strengthen the support forces.

Based on the intelligence of the World Government and the Navy, they have likely already detected the existence of the spaceship and will inevitably take action to send people to intercept it.

While they might be harder to find once they're airborne, who can guarantee they don't have World Government and Navy spies among their ranks? This world has things like Vivre Card.

Thanks to Rediat's abilities, he was able to quickly identify any potential spies and perfectly prevent any future troubles.

Even if you're unlucky enough to encounter one, there's a powerful enough force to protect you.

"Enel, I didn't expect you to go too. Without mastering Two types of Haki, it's very dangerous." On the ship, Clemons crossed his arms and looked at Enel.

Clemons didn't mean to look down on Enel; he was thinking of Enel's well-being. On the battlefield, swords and spears have no eyes, and it would be a pity if Enel were to die accidentally.

Enel, as someone Teach had his eye on, coupled with his own efforts and the training from the members of the Night Pirates, grew at an astonishing rate.

He is now a well-known figure in the Night Pirates, possessing a strong talent for Observation Haki. He Awakening Observation Haki in just three months after joining the Night Pirates.

Although he hasn't mastered Armament Haki yet, he'll be close. Physical enhancement takes time. He possesses impressive physical skills and wields a golden dragon-patterned staff. He has defeated almost all the members who had taught him a lesson.

With his powerful Observation Haki and physical skills, even without having mastered Armament Haki, he would be no match for most elite members.

In the Night Pirates today, those who can be considered elite must at least master one Haki.

Enel is now a pirate with a bounty of 140 million, but his title is rather difficult to describe; he is known as "Golden Stick".

Enel almost died on the spot.

Enel naturally understood Clemons's meaning, and with a confident and arrogant look, he said, "Don't worry, how could I die so easily? My strength is no longer what it used to be."

Clemons is undoubtedly stronger Enel. He joined the Night Pirates at a young age and ate Devil Fruit at a young age, something Enel could not catch up to in just three years.

He raised an eyebrow slightly, surprised to find that he actually sensed a hint of threat from Enel.

As if struck by a thought, Clemons' eyes lit up. "Could it be...?"

"Haha, that's right, that's an incredible ability!" Enel laughed excitedly, extending his left hand. In his palm, a ball of flowing blue lightning condensed, containing extremely high heat. In comparison, the power of lightning itself was somewhat weak.

Clemons knew that Enel hadn't had this ability for long and hadn't fully developed it, so the lightning power he displayed was naturally somewhat weak.

It's no wonder Enel was so excited about the lightning ability; since it was Teach brought it out, it must be a top-tier Devil Fruit.

This was Enel's first time showcasing his abilities, so naturally he wanted to perform well.

A flash of blue light appeared, Enel's figure appeared directly behind Clemons. Clemons' pupils shrank; he hadn't even reacted in time. If Enel were to attack him, he would have a hard time dodging.

Clemons understood why Enel was so confident. With that speed, what danger could he possibly fear? Enel's ability to protect himself would be formidable.

"Haha, see that? This is my ability, the Plasma Fruit, though I prefer to call it the Plasma-Plasma Fruit. Although it's far from destructive enough, with this speed, I believe I'll be fine even in a war like that."

Enel laughed excitedly, "The Overlord also sent me to the research base to learn about related knowledge. I now know how to develop the Plasma-Plasma Fruit, and it won't be long before it can unleash its true power in my hands."

He was no longer a clueless newbie. He clearly remembered Teach's evaluation of this Devil Fruit: "The Rumble-Rumble Fruit among Paramecia Devil Fruits."

In other words, once this Devil Fruit is developed, it can do Plasma-Plasma Fruit -Rumble-Rumble Fruit can do, except for elemental transformation.

Of course, the Plasma-Plasma Fruit doesn't possess the lightning power of the Rumble-Rumble Fruit, which it needs to develop itself. However, in terms of electrical and thermal properties, the Plasma-Plasma Fruit has an innate advantage that the Rumble-Rumble Fruit cannot match.

Going back two months, he received Teach's order to come to the Hall of Domination. There was only Teach in the Hall of Domination. In front of him were two open boxes, each containing a Devil Fruit.

"Choose one, a Logia Steam-Steam Fruit. You've already witnessed its power; it's the ability of that deceased god, Birka."

"The other one is the Plasma Fruit, which possesses abilities similar to the Logia Rumble-Rumble Fruit. Apart from not being able to transform into an element, the difference isn't significant."

"Both are top-tier Devil Fruit. Choose whichever you want and eat it." Teach sat on the throne, watching Enel with slight interest, wanting to know how Enel would choose.

Enel still remembers the power of that god Birka very clearly: cold air, hot air, Ice and Fire Dual Heaven, possessing immense destructive power.

He had always longed for that kind of power, and he knew that Teach would give him Devil Fruit. However, as time passed, he grew stronger, fought, and trained, Enel gradually forgot about it.

Now, two powerful Devil Fruit were right in front of him. Although he had never seen the Plasma Fruit before, he knew the reputation of the Rumble-Rumble Fruit, which was known as the strongest Devil Fruit. Even if the Plasma Fruit was inferior, it couldn't be that bad.

Enel was conflicted. He knew the value of Logia disasters, but based on his own conscience, Enel ultimately chose the Plasma Fruit allowed him to wield the power of lightning.

Enel's choice was exactly what Teach had hoped for; it seemed to be destiny. Enel remained devoted to lightning.

Then, as arranged by Teach, Enel entered the Night Pirates' secret research base to learn about electricity and plasma, so that he could clearly understand his own power and better develop this Devil Fruit.

"In that case, I'm relieved, but don't be too careless." Clemons nodded, offering a reminder while also congratulating Enel.

After all, "Teach makes a film, it's always a masterpiece!"

"I won't die so easily," Enel laughed, a hint of excitement rising in his eyes as he thought about the war to come.

A light drizzle was falling on Gaya Island. Gaya Island has completely changed and is now much more prosperous.

At the same time, the atmosphere was somewhat tense, with defensive fortifications in place and pedestrians hurrying by, gazing into the distance as if on patrol.

Meanwhile, at sea, some ships are constantly patrolling, and will immediately report any sightings of the navy.

Gaya Island has now been completely transformed into a war fortress to resist the World Government's coalition forces.

Thanks to everyone's concerted efforts, the World Government's coalition forces did not reach Gaya Island. However, they all knew that it was coming soon, and everyone felt a sense of urgency.

The massive coalition of World Government, their terrifying power, weighed on my heart like a mountain.

Fortunately, their reinforcements will arrive soon, giving them the strength to fight against the World Government's coalition forces.

Lafitte wasn't at the Night Pirates' base. Due to the war situation, those with high mobility like him were out on the front lines, observing and taking advantage of the chaos to destroy naval warships and deplete the World Government's coalition forces as much as possible.

Along with Lafitte, King the Conflagration, Marco the Phoenix, and Katakuri, the second son of Big Mom, also joined the attack.

Thunder Tank Lonos was on the front lines, fighting against naval admirals and army generals every few days on a small island. With his special lightning power, he tried his best to destroy naval fortresses and kill as many soldiers as possible.

Anyway, with his Devil Fruit ability, he's tough and resilient, so he can easily face three Admiral -level fighters for a short time. As long as he's careful and stays in the air, he can escape whenever he wants, and no one can stop him.

This also serves to contain the World Government's high-end military capabilities for others.

The World Government's reinforcements have not yet arrived, and taking advantage of this opportunity, they are showing signs of a counter-offensive.

In a short time, the losses of the navy and army of the Golden Sea increased greatly. They were constantly attacked by powerful forces from various factions on Gaya Island and could not hold them back even if they wanted to. Each time, the scene was a complete mess.

Their fighting wasn't real; their primary focus was killing soldiers and causing destruction.

Some powerful individuals focused on hunting down Vice Admiral generals within the allied forces, aiming to weaken the allied forces as much as possible.

Even though they were stronger, the strong were still difficult to kill. After losing two Vice Admiral, the World Government coalition forces saw the madness and intentions of the people on Gaya Island.

The forces surrounding the Golden Sea are consolidating, and as many Vice Admiral- level powerhouses as possible are gathered together to prevent targeted hunting.

Having been forced into a defensive posture, all they need to do now is wait for the World Government to send a new large army.

It is sufficient to support an army of over 100,000, but the required supplies are enormous, and the mobilization time would be at least half a month.

This also presents an opportunity for the various factions on Gaya Island.

The World Government is aware of the support from various factions and will arrive at Gaya Island via spaceship, which may take them a little longer than the other side.

Therefore, naval support has already been dispatched, and army support will follow.

Before reinforcements from both sides arrive, in this short period of time, a premeditated hunting war is about to begin, and it is destined to shock the entire world.

Teach will react to the situation in the Golden Sea, and the powerful figures on Gaya Island are even more aware of the situation there, so they will naturally take action as well.

This counterattack is just the beginning; the real action is about to begin.

This is also in response to the shrinking strength of the navy and army, where having multiple powerful individuals together makes it difficult for them to hunt individually.

Therefore, these powerful figures from different pirate crews must unite.

Despite the contraction of forces, the foundation of the navy and army still lies in their war bases, located on numerous small islands where they can quickly support each other.

They also planned to combine their forces and target several war fortresses, eliminating the naval and army leaders guarding them before reinforcements from other fortresses arrived.

The rain was still falling. On a group of strongmen standing on a reef within a unit occupied by various factions on Gaya Island.

"Don't let him die," Chronos said in a deep voice. After fighting side by side for so long, there was still some affection between them.

This plan was a joint effort, targeting a total of twelve people.

Chronos of the Flying Pirates, Lubite, the captain of the Third Fleet, Iris, the Black Widow, the captain of the Seventh Fleet.

Laimer, the King the Conflagration, of the Beasts Pirates.

Katakuri and Oven of the Big Mom Pirates.

Marco the Phoenix and Griffin Xi of the Whitebeard Pirates.

The Night Pirates: Gari, Nelson, Lafitte.

Besides serving as the main force, it also restrains the powerful Chronos of the World Government Alliance.

The remaining powerful members of the various pirate crews will unite and divide into three groups to carry out a plan to weaken the advanced combat forces of the three war bases.

Gari, Nelson, Lubite in one group.

A team consisting of King the Conflagration, Griffin Xi, Lafitte.

Katakuri, Iris, Laimer, and Oven form a group.

The strongest members of the World Government Alliance are now gathered in six main bases.

Apart from the main base, which is guarded by Admiral- level expert, each of the other bases is protected by three lieutenant Vice Admiral- level experts.

As for Marco the Phoenix, he also has an important task: to hold back an Army Admiral.

Chronos can certainly hold off two Admiral, but not three, especially since that "Violent Bear" Admiral isn't particularly skilled in aerial combat.

To prevent this Admiral from supporting other bases, Marco the Phoenix is needed to keep him occupied.

Katakuri's group has one more member and is stronger, mainly to avoid Vice Admiral from other war bases and end the battle more quickly.

Due to the location issue, the first target to receive support will definitely be the one targeted by Katakuri.

The others didn't speak, but nodded to each other, and then flew towards their respective targets using their own methods.

Gari and Nelson stood on the back of a large gray bird, with a light mist still lingering in the air.

Lubite is Paramecia Devil Fruit Devil Fruit User with the ability to release mist, and he has developed this ability to a very high level.

King the Conflagration, Lafitte, and Sylvanas can all fly.

Iris, Laimer, and Oven stood on Katakuri's now-grown Hurricane Homie.

Marco transformed into Phoenix, while Chronos floated in the air.
