The Match

"Then Wos should choose one too. I can't be the only one choosing." After making his choice, Mobius put his hand on Wos's shoulder and laughed.

They had a very good relationship; having spent many years together, they were like brothers, not superiors and subordinates.

"No problem, that woman it is." Wos nodded with a smile, equally without hesitation.

Looking at the screen, I immediately spotted a young woman with pink hair, yellow eyes, lipstick, fair skin, wearing a purple cape, a red skirt and high heels, and horn-like ornaments on her head.

He looked like a witch. Mobius was swayed by first impressions, and so was Wos. In many people's eyes, he was a demon lurking in the shadows, and Wos's eyes were like those of a demon.

This is a manifestation of his development of Devil Fruit abilities; the Devil Great Serpent is Zoan Devil Fruit that is no weaker than Ancient Species.

The three eyes of the Devil Great Serpent possess a special power, which Wos developed and utilized, and it also has an effect on the mind.

However, it's not that powerful, and it's not very effective against strong individuals. It's somewhat similar to Lafitte's hypnosis before he ate Devil Fruit, and it can't compare to Mobius's abilities at all.

However, it can also exert some suppression on the enemy during combat.

Charlotte Galette, Big Mom's eighteenth daughter, is now eighteen years old, a few years younger Wos, which isn't a big problem.

"Anything else?" Teach asked, seeing that Mobius and Wos had finished making their choices.

Marriages between just one or two people are not enough to truly strengthen the relationship between the Night Pirates and the Big Mom Pirates; Teach wants to arrange a few more.

After all, both forces are very large, especially the Night Pirates. Besides, Teach felt he would be at a disadvantage if he didn't bring over a few of Big Mom's daughters; people always have that kind of mentality.

At that moment, "Death Gun" Kos stepped forward and said, "I would like to invite this Ms. Mozart to dinner."

"I like her hair, and she's a good shooter," Kos explained softly.

Charlotte Mozart is Big Mom's twelfth daughter. She is a thin woman with long, dark chestnut hair, and her head is divided into two large, flared braids on the left and right sides, resembling a clown's hat.

This is somewhat similar to the hat that Kos wore. Even Kos's younger brother, Van Augur, likes this kind of strange hat. It's worth mentioning that Van Augur has now joined the Night Pirates and is being trained by Kos.

As Kos said, Mozart is a gunslinger and a man of few words. They are very compatible, and even if their pirate crews were to form an alliance through marriage, they would not choose casually.

Of course, one reason is to benefit the pirate crew, and another is that they genuinely have their eyes on them.

After all, they have Big Mom's strong genes, so they're all good-looking; the less attractive ones have already been eliminated.

"Sinnamon," Wallace said softly, his gaze falling on the photo of Big Mom's sixteenth daughter. She was a tall, slender, beautiful woman with long red hair tied in a ponytail, and she also had long legs.

This is Smoker's twin sister; she has a certain conscience and compassion, and cares for her subordinates.

The video screen was arranged by Teach in a resume-like format, with a personality description below the photo, since selection couldn't be based solely on a few pictures.

"Then I'll take that lady named Castard." Nelson looked at the woman with short Roland hair and smiled faintly. Under the shadow of the black hood, his slightly long, choppy purple hair was visible, with a section of bangs reaching his chest.

Castard is Big Mom's sixth daughter and Cracker's twin sister. She is a slender young woman and also an officer in the Big Mom Pirates.

Things were much easier than I expected; there weren't many troubles, and it was resolved quickly.

Mobius, Wos, Wallace, Kos, Nelson were the five people to be married into the Night Pirates and the Big Mom Pirates.

The Big Mom Pirates chosen were Amande, Castard, Mozart, Sinnamon, and Galette.

"Lafitte, I'm leaving this to you. Take our gifts with you." Teach had confidence in Lafitte, even though he was only sending him alone.

"It's my duty." Lafitte, as always, packed his bags like Gentleman. As the diplomat of the Night Pirates, he also enjoyed doing such tasks.

"Then let's disband." Teach chuckled, and the space around him seemed to distort, swallowing him whole. Teach disappeared from the spot.

Such methods were startling; they were definitely spatial abilities. They guessed that Teach had become stronger and developed new abilities.

Only Rediat knew that this was likely the power of Teach's second Devil Fruit, and such distorted signs naturally came from the Twist Fruit that Teach treasured.

Although he knew Teach had acquired a second ability, this was the first time he had actually seen it.

This level of power cannot be achieved by the Twist Fruit alone; it is a technique created by combining the power of the Dark-Dark Fruit and using "Kamui" as a template.

The Dark-Dark Fruit contains Darkness Space, a space belonging to Teach. Although he can control this space, Teach cannot enter it.

However, after acquiring the Teach Twist Fruit and developing it, Teach successfully used it to distort space and enter the Darkness Space, and could also appear within the range of Teach's distortion field at any time.

In other words, Teach can use this ability to teleport anywhere within the distorting force field, which is an incredibly overpowered ability.

This also allows the two abilities to work together perfectly; Teach can pull people into the Darkness Space and attack others by distorting space.

It can be said that, apart from not being immune to attacks when using Kamui, Teach can do everything else now, except that his movement is limited to the distortion field.

As for immunity to attacks, Teach doesn't care. Once Teach becomes more skilled, he will be able to cast it instantly, so whether or not he is immune to attacks will not matter.

In a short period of time, Teach has developed the Twist Fruit to a terrifying level, and the power he can display has been further enhanced. With his current strength, it is not a problem for him to develop the Devil Fruit to the point of Awakening in a short time.

Moreover, Teach's development of Devil Fruit is not a solitary endeavor; the wisdom of so many world-class scientists is enough to provide Teach with invaluable advice.

The development of "Shinme" was Teach by them.

Even some of the development of the Dark-Dark Fruit originated from their ideas.

Whole Cake Island Totto Land

"The messenger from the Night Pirates is arriving soon."

These past few days have been a time of great anticipation for everyone in the Big Mom Pirates.

After all, they received the news that the Night Pirates had agreed to the marriage alliance immediately, and someone would come to discuss the specific details.

This means their plan has succeeded.

Big Mom's daughters were all very nervous, wondering which of their sisters would be married into the Night Pirates; perhaps several would be involved.

After all, the people were chosen by the Night Pirates. They had no initiative, no right to refuse, and could only accept the arrangement. It was very likely that they themselves would also face an unknown future and an unknown marriage partner.

Even Katakuri and his group were not as calm as they appeared.

Because the marriage involves their family members, including possibly their sisters.

It must be admitted that they were at a disadvantage in this marriage alliance, even though both sides were powerful imperial forces, especially when the mother said that her daughters would choose with the Night Pirates.

After all, the Night Pirates are the stronger party. Not only are they more powerful, but they are also much more stable internally than the Flying Pirates, especially given the World Government's increasingly aggressive actions.

Even the Gorosei could not control the actions of the Celestial Dragons, nor could they control the power wielded by Celestial Dragons.

Since both sides have agreed to this marriage, there is no room for reneging; otherwise, it would cause animosity between the two forces.

Finally, what bargaining chips will the Night Pirates offer?

"They've arrived." Katakuri stood in front of the gate with his two brothers, a red light flashing in his eyes as images of the future appeared in his mind.

As soon as he finished speaking, following Katakuri's gaze, Oven and Daifuku soon noticed the figure approaching from the distant sky.

"It's Lafitte." Katakuri had dealt with Lafitte before, during the Golden Sea Battle.

"Is he the only one?" Oven seemed somewhat dissatisfied.

"That's enough. This matter can't be exposed yet. As one of the main officers of the Night Pirates, Lafitte's presence is just right," Katakuri explained, shaking his head slightly.

"I'm so sorry to have kept you waiting." Lafitte descended from the sky, appearing in front of Katakuri and the others, removing his top hat and offering a gift.

"No, the timing is perfect. We just finished dessert," Katakuri said calmly. "Let's go in. Mom and the others are already here."

The towering gate of the Cake Castle cannot be opened without sufficient strength, which is also one of the distinguishing marks of whether one can become a member of the Big Mom Pirates.

The door opened, and Lafitte followed the Katakuri brothers into the Cake Castle.

A series of gazes, led by Big Mom, fell upon Lafitte.

Lafitte's expression remained unchanged, unperturbed by praise or criticism, with a slight smile on his face, even in the face of the powerful pressure unintentionally released by Big Mom.

This is enough to demonstrate Lafitte's own strength and courage, and his excellent mindset is also essential for any diplomat.

With his exceptional intelligence and remarkable adaptability, Lafitte's abilities would be highly valued in any pirate crew.

Teach's sending of Lafitte demonstrates his high regard for this matter. However, the pressure Lafitte faces far exceeds that of the Germa Kingdom. Recruiting the Germa Kingdom is hardly a challenge for Lafitte.

"Greetings, Big Mom. I come here with friendship for this marriage alliance." Lafitte smiled at Big Mom, bowing slightly to show respect, but his tone was firm and resolute, because he represented the Night Pirates and would never bow down before Big Mom.

"Oh, friendship! Mama, Mom!" Big Mom exclaimed with anticipation upon hearing Lafitte's words. "Let me see who our marriage partner is! Which of my daughters is so lucky to have been chosen by you?"

They tacitly avoided discussing matters of interest, since the marriage partner was very important. The Night Pirates couldn't just find anyone to marry them off to; it was better to refuse the marriage in the first place.

Therefore, Big Mom is very much looking forward to seeing who their marriage partner will be, given the many powerful Night Pirates.

"Hehe, look forward to it. After all, we are very serious about this marriage alliance." Lafitte adjusted his top hat. "Each marriage partner was personally selected by them."

"Them?" It was obvious from the name that there was more than one potential marriage partner. One partner alone wouldn't be enough to bring the two pirate crews closer together; there needed to be more, and they all needed to be important members of both sides.

Big Mom's decision to let the Night Pirates choose freely also carries this implication.

Lafitte's words only heightened the anticipation. Making the choice herself—for some reason, the hearts of Big Mom's daughters fluttered; the moment that would decide their fate had arrived.

Lafitte seemed to enjoy this feeling, and observing the changes in their expressions, he delayed a little longer.

He took a small Transponder Snail from his pocket and turned it on in front of the Big Mom Pirates.

A blank screen appears, changing like a PowerPoint presentation as Lafitte operates.

"This is our first marriage alliance," Lafitte laughed, and Mobius's image suddenly popped up on the screen.

Mobius's appearance caught Big Mom's eye. She was very satisfied with Mobius, Mythical Zoan Devil Fruit User displayed absolutely terrifying strength in the war against the Whitebeard Pirates.

"The marriage partner chosen by Mobius is..." Lafitte's gaze swept over Big Mom's daughters.

While the others waited for him to speak, Lafitte remained silent, smiled slightly, and with a flick of his hand, another photograph popped up, each taking up half of the frame alongside the one of Mobius.

"Congratulations, Ms. Amande!"

All eyes quickly fell on Amande, who was still in a daze, staring blankly at Mobius on the screen.

She hadn't expected Mobius to choose her. This man, though younger than her, was incredibly powerful, far stronger than her.

"But it's not bad either." Amande quickly came to her senses and thought to herself that she didn't feel any aversion to Mobius; on the contrary, she felt a strange sensation.

Amande's calm demeanor made it impossible for others to discern her thoughts.

"The next pair is Wos and Ms. Galette!" Lafitte didn't react as before; after all, this kind of format was enough once, and doing it too many times would get tiresome.

Then, images of Wos and Galette appeared on the screen, with Galette looking at her future partner.

Shadow Snake Wos of the Night Pirates is an equally powerful executive with a bounty of 580 million. At only twenty-three years old, he is an absolute monster.

Dressed in a black outfit with a short sword called "Night Raid" hanging at his waist, Wos was not bad-looking, and coupled with his cold aura, he could be said to be very handsome.

I just don't know what his personality is like?

Galette didn't want to resist; in fact, she was already thinking about how to get along with Wos in the future.

The Night Pirates are serious about this marriage alliance, as evidenced by the selection of the women they sent. Their choice of these women was not arbitrary; they genuinely valued them.

Like her sister, Galette wasn't opposed to it, which was a good start.

"Kos and Ms. Mozart."

The appearance of two gunmen felt perfectly appropriate to everyone who saw it.

When Mozart saw the figure on the screen, he couldn't help but cover his chest, his face slightly flushed, unlike Amande and Galette who accepted their arranged marriage partners.

Judging from Mozart's expression, she was very satisfied.

Kos is one of the world's top shooters and a man who led the revolution in shooting.

As a weapon, the gun, in Kos's hands, displayed terrifying power in both close combat and ranged combat.

During the war between the Night Pirates and the Whitebeard Pirates, there were more than a few instances where powerful Whitebeard Pirates tried to ambush Kos and eliminate the threatening Kos first.

But none of them could stop Kos; Kos was extremely fast, firing as he moved.

Even in direct combat, Kos was in no way at a disadvantage. His dual pistols were as agile as a swordsman's sword, incredibly powerful, and impossible to defend against.

Watching Kos fight is like watching a work of art.

Kos's bullets were a threat even to the Sea Emperor; the name "Death Gun" resounded throughout the seas.

"Wallace and Sinnamon."

Wallace and Sinnamon appeared.

"Sister." Smoker looked at Sinnamon with some concern; the sisters were about to be separated.

"It's nothing," Sinnamon shook his head. "I'm quite satisfied."

With her gaze fixed on Wallace's figure on the screen, how could she not be satisfied? Wallace was one of the strongest officers in the Night Pirates and one of the earliest members to follow Teach.

With terrifying strength, the name "Iron" Wallace has been established through countless battles.

The Steel-Steel Fruit, which is considered excellent, displayed the power of a top-tier Paramecia Devil Fruit in Wallace's hands. When you think of Wallace, the first thing that comes to mind is not his iron body, but the scorching heat.

"Nelson and Castamon."

"Not bad." Castamon smiled at her Cracker's gaze. She was loyal to her family and had long been prepared. Besides, her chosen marriage partner was excellent, with strange abilities, an important mission for the Night Pirates, and also very strong.

At this point, Lafitte turned off the Den Den Mushi. "They are the ones to be married off. Now we can talk about what's next."

"I won't hand over my precious daughter easily unless I offer enough incentives." The next point was about interests. Big Mom looked at Lafitte, her eyes imbued with a hint of spiritual power, exerting pressure on Lafitte.

"I won't let you down." Faced with the pressure from Big Mom, Lafitte naturally couldn't remain indifferent, but holding on was no problem at all.

"Then I'll wait and see," Big Mom laughed, waving to her children on either side. "You may leave now."

Now that the members of the marriage alliance have been determined, what happens next is not something some people can listen to.

Those who are weaker and cannot meet Big Mom's standards must leave, even if they are Big Mom's children.

Those who remained were the executives and core members of the Big Mom Pirates, all of whom possessed considerable strength and ability. Of course, the five daughters of the marriage partners were also present, including the still-young Galette, who was able to stay due to her special status.
