Support Arrives

At an altitude of 10,000 meters, more than 50 spaceships stood above the clouds, heading towards Gaya Island.

"These spaceships are really impressive." Rediat stood on one side of the spaceship, looking at the other ships from the deck.

However, his expression remained unchanged. In reality, he used special floating clouds to give these ships buoyancy, allowing them to easily take flight via a power unit.

The Night Pirates could certainly build the same spaceships that the Flying Pirates.

It's simply a matter of whether you want to or not.

However, the Flying Pirates' idea was quite good. Before this, no one in the Night Pirates had thought of it. Only after seeing it did they realize that it had no technical merit whatsoever.

That's certainly true for the Night Pirates.

The Night Pirates had already begun designing this early on. Unlike spaceships, this was an airship, resembling a large hot air balloon.

Once it's built, orders from all over the world will be coming their way.

Airships are much safer and more luxurious than pirate ships, far superior to those luxury cruise ships.

This is also intended for nobles, the wealthy, and even Celestial Dragons, as it can bring them enormous profits.

The other pirates looked at Rediat with some fear; his eyes seemed to see through everything. On the day he arrived, Rediat had captured more than ten spies hidden among them and easily dealt with them.

And they had no idea how Rediat had discovered it.

The other pirate crews' officers were also very wary of Rediat, and even didn't want to associate with such a "Rediat person."

It's not just because of Rediat's strength, but also because Rediat possesses the power to "see through people's hearts".

One can glean some clues about Rediat's special powers from Rediat actions.

They had no idea that so many spies were hidden among their own men, some of whom were trusted and familiar to them.

It's unimaginable what would have happened if it weren't for Rediat; on the very first day, Rediat established his prestige.

"We've arrived at Gaya Island. Everyone, prepare to disembark," the announcement came over the loudspeaker.

At this moment, the spaceship stopped moving forward and floated in the air, slowly descending, because Gaya Island was directly below it.

The news of the reinforcements' arrival had already reached the Great Pirate officers on Gaya Island, who all came out and looked up at the sky.

It was a spectacular sight; one spaceship after another slowly descended. I couldn't contain my joy; their support had arrived.

On the open ground of Gaya Island, spaceships landed steadily, their massive size stirring up strong winds and causing clothes to flutter. Many people stretched out their hands to shield their eyes, but stared wide-eyed at the spaceships.

Who will come to their aid? This is something they are all eagerly anticipating.

After all, the stronger and more numerous the reinforcements, the more confident they will be, and the greater their chances of winning the war.

"Is this Gaya Island? It's filled with the atmosphere of war." He chuckled, wearing a flight cap and with a cigar dangling from his mouth.

Shiryu walked directly off the ship, and the members of the Night Pirates all stepped aside to make way for Shiryu.

Shiryu naturally wouldn't refuse Teach's orders. Such a massive war only Shiryu desire to fight to his heart's content.

His Raiu were already thirsting for blood, yearning to be bathed in blood, especially the blood of the strong.

Rediat had already disembarked and was floating in mid-air. His Observation Haki spread out instantly, and his gaze swept across the entire island, landing on each pirate and other person.

The pirates on Gaya Island found Rediat's behavior somewhat strange, but they didn't stop him.

The pirates who stepped off the spaceship knew what Rediat was doing.

Both sides are now conserving their strength, Gari and his group rarely make a move, focusing on protecting Gaya Island.

The support from the New World has arrived; they are already there, and many of their own pirate crew members are among them. This is definitely a moment to celebrate.

In just five minutes, everyone disembarked from the spaceship, which then restarted, preparing to fly back to the New World to welcome the next wave of pirates.

At the same time, leaving quickly was also to prevent the World Government Navy from getting wind of it and then being captured or sniped during the process.

Therefore, the Great Pirate unleashed their power and Observation Haki with abandon, knowing full well that there must be spies from the World Government and the Navy on Gaya Island.

Meanwhile, the members on the other islands watched the movements of those around them warily. Those inside the houses were to leave and come outside. If someone was still hiding, they were likely a spy trying to tip off others.

They would swarm him.

At such a moment, even spies dare not make any small moves. They cannot guarantee that they can deliver the message in such a short time, or that they will be killed on the spot.

Among the crowd stood a woman in her thirties or forties with long, light pink hair that reached her waist. She was wearing a women's leather jacket, and her mature, hot figure looked as if it was about to burst out of the jacket.

She looks like a female pirate, with a leather whip hanging from her waist, giving her a Queen air.

Pirates around her would occasionally glance at her chest, wanting to be wantonly ravaged by her leather whip.

However, no one dared to provoke her. She was a fierce woman, and they couldn't suppress her. She also had a brilliant performance in the war, killing many of the World Government's allied forces.

Moreover, she has been noticed by "Black Widow" Iris of the Flying Pirates and has already joined the Flying Pirates as Iris's subordinate.

Her face remained calm, but she was inwardly panicking. Her eyes darted around furtively. She had originally wanted to secretly pass on a message, but now she couldn't do it at all.

Even the slightest unusual movement could arouse suspicion.

Her true identity is a CP9 agent of the World Government, a super assassin, the mother of the next generation of CP9 Makuro Yamaro Kumadori.

She successfully infiltrated Gaya Island and joined the Flying Pirates, which was a great achievement. She also secretly passed on some information about Gaya Island.

Everything had been going very smoothly until now, but for some reason, she now had a bad feeling.

Unbeknownst to her, a gaze secretly fell upon her, lingered briefly, and then swept over her.

In a short period of time, Rediat had already identified more than thirty spies, mostly from the World Government and the Navy. There might be spies from other forces among them, but it didn't matter, since they would all be eliminated anyway.

Among them were three with particularly powerful auras. Although he didn't know who they were, Rediat guessed their identities; they were probably CO9 agents.

However, it's best not to alert them for now. He'll handle it secretly, since the information in the minds of CP9 members is still very valuable. They're bound to have access to some secrets of CP9 or the World Government, which is also related to the Night Pirates' secret plans.

Unlike CP0, CP9 is counted in generations, after the current generation of CP9 dies or grows old.

Through rigorous selection and assessment, a select few with strong potential will become the new generation of CP9 members.

Furthermore, CP9 is also known as the reserve force for CP0, as several members of CP0 are former CP9 members.

These CP9 members all seemed quite strong, possessing combat power comparable to Rear Admiral Vice Admiral. Even so, in Rediat's eyes, they were utterly vulnerable.

Since Rediat has set his sights on them, there's no way they can escape; there's a dimensional gap between them.

Shiryu seemed to sense a familiar presence, and turned his head slightly. He saw a familiar figure.

He couldn't help but grin and walked towards Jin.

As they got closer, others noticed them too.

How did Shiryu of the Night Pirates end up with King?

"Are we going to fight?"

Some people started whispering among themselves, "Don't you know? Shiryu and King were both members of Impel Down, they should know each other, right?"

The two stared at each other, unleashing powerful auras. The members of the Beasts Pirates nearby quickly moved aside, for a battle between powerful individuals was not something they could interfere with.

The next moment, Shiryu drew his Raiu sword instantly, and at the same time, Jhin swung his katana.

Before most people could react, the two men's knives clashed together.

"Jin, long time no see." Shiryu looked at Jin and smiled. As he spoke, the two had already exchanged more than a dozen blows.

"Shiryu, neither of us are people who can be confined by such a place," Jin said in a deep voice, flames engulfing his body.

"That's true, after all, it's been so long since we last met." Shiryu smiled.

The two were merely sparring, not actually fighting; otherwise, someone would have intervened immediately.

Soon, the two stopped. Both were jailers in Impel Down, one Chief Warden and the other a prison warden. They got along quite well, at least in terms of temperament. One liked fighting, and the other liked torture, but there was no conflict between them.

It's just that we haven't seen each other for so long, so we've caught up.

However, they all knew that their positions were now different, and they were in different pirate crews. Although they had a cooperative relationship for the time being, they were destined to be enemies.

One day, they will meet on the battlefield.

At that time, none of them would hold back.

Shiryu left quickly, which was a relief. The solid killing intent Shiryu was terrifying.

A year has passed since the end of the Kendo Tournament, and Shiryu has successfully broken through the barrier to becoming Great Swordmaster, naturally resulting in a significant increase in his strength.

The pirates who came to Gaya Island all returned to the territories of their respective factions, and their arrival greatly strengthened the overall power of Gaya Island.

The Flying Pirates have sent Alex, the captain of their first fleet. He is an absolute formidable fighter with a bounty exceeding one billion, making him a top-tier powerhouse in the New World.

Vista, the Vista the Flower Sword of the Whitebeard Pirates.

Cracker of the Big Mom Pirates, one of the future Four Sweet Commanders, possesses the formidable fighting power of a single man.

Omon, the Warhammer of the Beasts Pirates, also bears the name of a calamity and made great contributions in the Beasts Pirates' battle for supremacy.

Also, there's Rediat and Shiryu from the Night Pirates.

Aside from the Flying Pirates, the Night Pirates are the strongest on Gaya Island and have made the greatest sacrifices. They will also receive a larger share of the spoils after the war ends.

The war is about to begin, and all that's needed is for the World Government's forces to arrive. In the meantime, Gaya Island will naturally not do nothing and wait for the war to start.

Weakening the World Government's coalition forces as much as possible during this period is essential.

Moreover, the great victory in the previous battle was due to the fact that we had the initiative in our own hands.

Their increased strength has given them more confidence. The World Government Alliance, on the other hand, has only gained one more Army Admiral. Even with this addition, their total strength is still insufficient compared to before.

In war, being forced into a passive state is impossible; seizing the initiative and launching a counter-offensive is what they want to do.

This would at least push their defensive lines outwards a bit, prolonging the war as much as possible.

After all, they were aware of the World Government's situation. The longer it dragged on, the more anxious the World Government would become. As for defeating the World Government with their own strength, that was impossible.

Rediat sat quietly to one side, listening to their discussion without interrupting, and sipped his red wine gently.

No other pirate could possibly know more than him, including the power of the World Government.

Their plan was to weaken the World Government's coalition forces in a similar manner to before they all arrived and were ready.

Even with the addition of an Admiral, compared to Gaya Island today, having lost so many Vice Admiral, they actually have a significant advantage in high-end combat power.

To be honest, the big win made them a bit arrogant, but that's really the case.

If they could, they would all want to take this opportunity to infiltrate the World Government's war bases again. If they could just spare a few powerful fighters to hold off these four Admiral, wouldn't the rest of the navy be at their mercy?

However, this is just wishful thinking. It is said that the naval Garp the Hero has arrived at the Grand Line and stopped on an island near Gaya Island.

What they were thinking, the Marine Headquarters and the World Government would naturally think as well. So they had Garp stay here temporarily to deter them, until all the forces of the World Government and the Navy gathered in the Golden Sea before leaving.

With Garp around, they wouldn't dare do such a thing. They knew that even if they all joined forces, they wouldn't be enough to defeat Garp alone. The difference in combat power couldn't be made up for by sheer numbers.

Localized wars would naturally not pose any problem.

At that moment, Rediat stood up. "I'll go get rid of a few little Nezumi." Rediat smiled slightly, and his body instantly turned into shadow and disappeared from the spot.

Upon hearing Rediat's words, the others' eyes flickered slightly. Based on the descriptions given by the newly arrived members, they already knew Rediat's methods and how he could identify spies.

On the other side, Makuro Yamaro was secretly eavesdropping, suddenly changed his expression. "Oh no, we've been discovered."

She could already sense a chilling aura emanating from someone targeting her.

Combined with the sounds she heard from these pirate meeting rooms, she was certain that she had been discovered.

She tried to escape, but it was too late. The boundless shadows spread out, Rediat had already pinpointed their location long ago, even preparing before he could speak.

Makuro Yamaro only felt his legs being grabbed, his whole body sinking and being pulled into the Shadow Space, with no power to resist.

Similarly, shadowy tentacles bound her body and even her mouth to prevent her from committing suicide.

"I'm doomed," was Makuro Yamaro's thought. He wanted to struggle, but he was powerless to resist.

She vanished from the spot, along with dozens of other figures on Gaya Island.
