The Night Pirates' Plot

The Night Palace, the Hall of Domination, and the core members of the organization were all present, except for Ares.

Ares was uninterested in these matters, and sat alone in the Combat Pyramid, his strength sufficient to suppress them.

In today's Night Sea Domain, nothing unexpected can happen. Even if there is a hint of trouble, it will be detected and nipped in the bud.

It's worth mentioning that, apart from Teach and Rediat, the two rulers who haven't arrived yet, there are many more people than in previous meetings. These are all pirates whose strength has been recognized and who are qualified to become executives.

Even if someone has the necessary strength, the lack of a corresponding position can lead to internal instability, especially since things have already dragged on for too long. Therefore, the rightful position is still essential.

The number of Night Pirates officers in the Sovereign Palace has now exceeded one hundred, and it can be basically confirmed that the positions of the Seven Demon Kings, Thirteen Demon Generals, and Seventy-two Demon Pillars will be determined among them. Of course, we cannot rule out the possibility of those members who are still catching up.

It's possible to become several times stronger in a short period of time, just like Kaguya, whose strength has undergone a tremendous change compared to six years ago.

At just over twenty years old, her combat strength is terrifyingly powerful, approaching the second tier of pirate crews. She is a strong contender for the position of one of the Seven Demon Kings. Her powerful physique, physical skills, and Devil Fruit abilities, as well as her Two types of Haki Kaguya, have all reached extremely high levels. Furthermore, she has successfully mastered Ryou.

Within the Night Pirates, in Teach's eyes, Kaguya was the most likely to master Haki internal destruction techniques of Haki, even more so than Ares.

Ares may need a few more years of honing his skills, but Kaguya could easily overtake him in a short time. As for the others, Teach doesn't have high expectations. It would be best if they could master it, but even if they couldn't, they could still reach the world's top level in terms of Haki strength.

Among the many members, five stood out from the crowd, each standing behind one of the five core executives.

Those were the Charlotte Sisters, who were arranged to marry into the Night Pirates. This was a way to win people's hearts, and after spending more than half a year together, their minds were mostly on the Night Pirates.

In terms of strength, only Amande and Castard are qualified to stand here. Sinnamon is barely qualified, while Mozart and Galette are a bit lacking in strength.

Even the weakest among those who can stand in this palace must possess a fighting strength of approximately 400 million Beli and be proficient in Two types of Haki.

With such a large base, many members with considerable potential naturally emerged. Coupled with the tempering in the Combat Pyramid, the members of the Night Pirates improved their strength rapidly, and many pirates who were already quite strong joined the Night Pirates.

In terms of the number of strong individuals, the Night Pirates actually have more.

Their special status allowed them to be accepted by the Night Pirates and thus be allowed to stand here.

Compared to the other members of the Night Pirates, Amande and the others, looking at the figures in the Hall of Domination, truly felt just how powerful the Night Pirates were, far surpassing the Big Mom Pirates.

If it weren't for their marriage alliance with the Night Pirates, which granted them access to some of the Night Pirates' secrets, they wouldn't have dared to imagine that the Night Pirates had so many powerful pirates.

Famous or unknown, without anyone noticing, the power of the Night Pirates has expanded to this extent, even surpassing that of the Flying Pirates.

They were somewhat apprehensive. Although they were now considered members of the Night Pirates, they had not yet been formally married, and were still outsiders.

Because of the strange looks they received—a mixture of doubt and surprise—they could guess the identities of the women. Only a small number of people knew about the marriage alliance between the Night Pirates and the Bigmon Pirates; they were the core members of both sides.

Their identities were not recognized by the entire Night Pirates, nor were they known to everyone.

They were allowed to attend the meeting by Teach, but they knew they had no right to speak; they should just stand there.

The interior of the main hall has changed somewhat, and it is now arranged in a stepped, layered manner.

The three thrones at the highest point, each different in size and unique in style, symbolize the three rulers of the Night Pirates.

The seven thrones on the lower level represent the Seven Demon Kings, and the thirteen positions on the next lower level represent the Thirteen Demon Generals. There are a total of seventy-two pillars standing on each pillar, and each pillar has a position on it.

These seats are symbols of status, but do not necessarily represent one's position within the Night Pirates.

Therefore, there are still some seats available around the area, and the layout of the main hall will be adjusted when that time comes.

Now they are all standing, but the positions and areas they stand in subtly represent the differences in status and power.

"Mostima, do you know what the boss wants us to discuss?" Mobius asked Mostima, who was standing in front of him.

This was the first time such a group meeting had been held; in the past, many members who couldn't attend would participate via Transponder Snail).

Mobius stands four meters tall, with a slightly long neck, long dark blue hair cascading over his shoulders, and a black robe emblazoned with a flamboyant, dark green Eight-Headed Serpent Orochi.

Amande behind her was also radiant, no longer as gloomy and melancholy as before. She looked like a woman, her pale skin still pale, but now with some color, and her tall and slender body was somewhat full.

During this period, Amande underwent the most significant change among the Charlotte Sisters.

"Just be ready to make your move; the rest is none of our business." Shiryu, standing to the side, had a cigar dangling from his mouth. His attire remained unchanged for years, with a flight cap on his head and the Impel Down symbol on his black jailer uniform now replaced by the three skulls of the Night Pirates.

Anyone with eyes can see that this meeting is definitely related to the war between the World Government and the Night Pirates.

It is foreseeable that the Night Pirates will not simply stand by and wait for the two sides to fight until the war ends; they will inevitably take action.

As for how to act and what their goals are, that's what this next meeting will discuss.

Although Shiryu is calm and composed, he is also aware of his role as a high-level enforcer. He simply follows orders, and plans are handled by specialists.

Having reached this point, he possessed virtually all the necessary intuition, and Mobius was well aware of this, but he simply wanted to know the inside story as soon as possible.

Mostima might know.

"Tell me, Mostima, it doesn't matter if you reveal a little." Enel, with the golden dragon staff slung over his shoulder, stepped forward, sitting cross-legged on the air, controlling electromagnetism to fly. This way of moving had now become a habit for Enel.

Enel was also somewhat curious. His life had been incredibly leisurely lately, consisting of nothing but training and fighting. He couldn't wait to show his power to the world.

The same was true for the others; all eyes were on Mostima, including Slada, Mog Radon, Wallace, Gari, and others.

The cadres at the back were also curious, but they wisely kept their mouths shut. If the bigwigs hadn't spoken, what right did they have? Some of them were very nervous; this was their first time attending a meeting.

"The Overlord hasn't arrived yet, so it doesn't matter if we say a few words," Clemons replied, his upper body bare, his steel-like muscles gleaming, a physique that would make any man envious, a perfect work of art.

Some large corporations even approached Clemons for collaborations, asking him to wear some clothes and take a few photos; there simply wasn't a better model than Clemons.

Today, Clemons is famous all over the world, but not because of his skill.

Through various business collaborations, Clemons amassed a considerable Beli, earning him the envy of many.

Some wealthy women even offered exorbitant prices just to touch Clemons' body.

With a strong body, the word "burial" on the chest is particularly ferocious.

Although still young, in his early twenties, Clemons' combat strength is still very powerful even without using the Muscle Fruit to boost his power, making him a strong contender for the position of one of the Seven Demon Kings.

"Alright," Mostima agreed, seeing how expectant everyone else looked.

His expression turned serious. "To be honest, I'm not entirely clear about the main objective of the upcoming operation."

"However, you may not know this, but the Overlord has already secretly ordered me to mobilize a full 300,000 troops."

"What!"

These words shocked everyone present. Three hundred thousand? What does that even mean?

Some of the officers were quite shocked, not expecting that their pirate crew had so many members.

Especially the Charlotte Sisters; although they knew the Night Pirates had a large number of members, they didn't expect them to be this massive.

The Flying Pirates' current force of 500,000 is somewhat exaggerated, as it includes affiliated Flying Pirates crews and members from other forces. Overall, it is an alliance led by the Flying Pirates.

Even the Flying Pirates themselves didn't originally number this many; the increase occurred during this period, influenced by the situation and Golden Lion Shiki's immense appeal.

The Night Pirates' number of 300,000 only refers to their own numbers and does not include their affiliated forces and pirate crews.

Moreover, the 300,000 is just the number to be recruited; the actual number is certainly more than that. After all, it's impossible to send out all the troops in one operation, as someone still needs to stay home to guard the area.

The power of the Night Pirates is truly terrifying.

The core members of the Night Pirates frowned. They had a rough idea of the total number of members in the Night Pirates, which was less than 400,000, probably around 370,000 to 380,000.

The sudden gathering of 300,000 troops is equivalent to directly drawing away most of the military force, which is not beneficial to the security of the Night Sea Domain, but it is still within the acceptable range.

This number is about the limit. The remaining 70,000 to 80,000 troops are more than enough, and there are also many affiliated pirate crews. As long as the operation is completed in a short time, nothing will happen in the Night Sea Domain.

However, such a large number really surprised them, after all, the Night Pirates only sent about 50,000 people in the war against the Whitebeard Pirates.

This big move immediately made them serious, and they stood there solemnly, thinking about what kind of action it would take.

"With such a massive number, won't other forces notice?" Lafitte wondered. A fleet carrying 300,000 soldiers couldn't possibly hide its tracks. If others knew about it, it would be pointless.

"Heh, once the war starts, the world's attention will shift to the World Government and the Flying Pirates." Mostima Vivi chuckled, one hand resting on the hilt of her sword. "Besides, so what if someone sees us? At that time, all communication devices in the Dark Sea will be cut off, so even if they find out, they can't leak it out."

"Who dares to cause us trouble?"

This is the Haki of the Night Pirates. What can they do to a battle they can't even watch live?

Anyone who dares to stand out will be suppressed with absolute force; the ocean always speaks with its fists.

At this point, all the officers present exuded confidence, displaying absolute faith in the Night Pirates.

In the depths of the Night Sea Domain, who dares to resist? They have to swallow their anger, or death will be their only fate.

Suddenly, a peculiar aura spread out, which they all sensed. All eyes turned to the throne at the highest point. They knew that the meeting was about to begin and their leader was about to arrive.

An eerie shadow converged from all directions, revealing Rediat's figure, who sat perfectly on his throne.

Immediately afterwards, Teach's figure emerged directly from the distorted Darkness Space, looking down at those below. His invisible aura exerted immense pressure, causing people to involuntarily lower their heads.

"The meeting is in session!"

His calm voice carried an air of authority.

After a silence of about three seconds, Teach turned his head slightly and gestured to Rediat beside him.

Rediat received the message, smiled, and said, "Next, our goal is simple: in the middle of the war, go to the Sky Kingdom of the Flying Pirates, take over all the islands of the Sky Kingdom, and transfer the entire Sky Kingdom to the Night Sea Domain using the Sky Island Propulsion Device."

"Hiss!"

Rediat's words seemed to explode in their minds, causing them to widen their eyes and gasp in shock.

Such an appetite is simply too great. Their own master actually plans to raid the Sky Kingdom during the war between the Flying Pirates and the World Government, and annex the Sky Kingdom of the Flying Pirates. No wonder they have to send a massive force of 300,000 troops to ensure the smooth takeover of the Sky Kingdom's nearly 600 islands.

Only the Flying Pirates and the Night Pirates possess the technology to move Sky Island. Moreover, the Sky Kingdom has been completely transformed into Sky Island, with artificial floating clouds beneath them, so they don't rely on Golden Lion Shiki's ability to fly.

After calming down, excited and arrogant smiles appeared on their faces, and some even seemed eager to make a move.

Kos lowered his head slightly and stroked his Sniper Rifle.

Lafitte brandished his cane, pulled his hat brim down in a Gentleman manner, and excitedly licked his lips.

Clemons bulged his muscles, crossed his arms, and deftly twisted his neck left and right, making a "crackling" sound.

Enel's body crackled with lightning, which swirled around him.

A flash of bloodlust crossed Shiryu's eyes, and the Raiu at his waist seemed to tremble with excitement.

"A bunch of lunatics!"

Outsiders like Amande couldn't help but marvel at the fact that they actually wanted to swallow up two-thirds of the Flying Pirates' territory in one fell swoop, even exceeding the size of the Flying Pirates' own territory.

Judging from the appearance of these members of the Night Pirates, they seemed to have not considered the consequences at all, and no one objected or refused.

However, for some reason, seemingly influenced by the atmosphere present, they couldn't help but feel a little excited, and their hearts started beating faster.

"The other thing is to take over the remaining forces of the Flying Pirates."

These words made it sound as if the Flying Pirates already certain of defeat, completely disregarding their current strength.

Unexpectedly, while other forces were still waiting for the great battle between the World Government and the Flying Pirates, the Night Pirates were already preparing to take over the Flying Pirates' territory and influence.

"The Flying Pirates will be defeated, no need to worry about that. If we're lucky, Shiki will be captured by the World Government. If he escapes, I will kill him with my own hands!" Teach said Haki, a cold glint flashing in his eyes. His right hand was raised in the air in a claw shape, and a terrifying aura burst forth in an instant, precisely bypassing them without affecting them.

But in that instant, it was as if an invisible vortex was swirling around Teach.

"There won't actually be many battles in this operation, but I don't want any accidents to happen. Ares will guard the Combat Pyramid, Kaguya will stay, Wallace will stay, List will stay, and so on..." Teach announced a few names as members guarding the Night Sea Domain.

The forces remaining behind were not weak, but the forces sent out were even stronger, terrifyingly so, in order to successfully take over this vast territory and relocate to the Night Sea Domain.

Those whose names were reported were not disappointed; their personalities were generally quite calm and composed.

Guarding the Night Sea Domain is also a very important task. Moreover, Teach also said that there won't be many battles this time. Whether it's expansion or ensuring that our own territory is safe, it's all of great significance.

After all, the external forces within the Night Sea Domain are very powerful, due to the existence of the Combat Pyramid.

"Get ready! After this battle, we will be the strongest! Our era is truly about to begin!"

Teach's words were inspiring and ignited their ambitions to become the strongest and completely replace the Flying Pirates.

Whether it's annexing the Sky Kingdom or absorbing the remaining power of the Flying Pirates, the Night Pirates' power can expand to an extreme.

At that time, the Night Pirates will surpass the Flying Pirates in both strength and influence, becoming the strongest in the New World.
