560 The Unexpected Incident Was Easily Resolved

An hour before the wedding began, the number of residents, pirates, and reporters gathered in front of the gates of the Hera Palace, the Purple Water Palace, and the Combat Pyramid greatly increased.

Rumors have spread that these dignitaries from around the world will depart for Dream Island, the wedding venue, an hour before the ceremony begins.

The flow of people was terrifying; the roadsides were extremely crowded, leaving only a relatively wide section in the middle.

At the end of the road is a cloud path formed by Island Cloud, about forty meters above the ground.

The Cloud Path also has cable cars that allow you to travel along it without disrupting the normal order of the streets, all the way to the entrance to Dream Island.

Such routes are gradually spreading across the Night Sea Domain. Compared to expensive Sea Train and land trains, Sky Island are the most convenient and cost-effective option on these small islands, and they can also alleviate traffic congestion.

It serves a great purpose as a temporary means of transportation, just like this time, it can be manufactured in a short time whenever needed.

Remove it when you no longer need it.

"Baboons! How lively!" Doflamingo chuckled as he looked down through the glass wall of the Hera Palace.

Besides its palatial luxury, the most distinctive feature of the Hera Palace is its glass walls, which are unique in the ocean and unlike any other building. It is like the Purple Water Palace, which is designed in a marine style.

In addition, the glass wall allows you to see the outside, but the outside cannot see inside, a unique manufacturing process that arouses curiosity.

Royal families, nobles, and the super-rich around the world are very interested in this material and want to use this glass to build their own houses.

Compared to the Hera Palace, their proud palace looked quite inferior.

If there were such a building, its style and sophistication would be instantly elevated.

Among nobles and the wealthy, there is no shortage of competition, just like when they bought airships.

The Night Pirates now have a large number of orders in hand; mastering the technology means mastering money.

"Heh heh! Anything can happen on this island." Morgans, dressed in a formal suit, approached Doflamingo, who snapped two photos of the scene below with a "click-click."

"It's a pity that this wedding couldn't be broadcast live."

Morgans' words made Doflamingo's lips twitch, and also left some of the other important figures around speechless.

You're overthinking it. Why do you want to livestream everything?

However, it must be acknowledged that the extraordinary influence of film elevated Morgans' status tenfold.

The creation of the video directly gave Morgans the power to broadcast live around the world at any time, something that was originally only possible for the World Government and the Navy.

Today, it has influenced all aspects of the world, becoming an important economic pillar of the World Economic News and a significant way to extend its influence.

More importantly, the video projection page is constantly being updated, with improved visuals, more detailed categorization, and richer content.

Today, the world's largest recognized mega-corporation is not World Economic News, but World Den Den Mushi Group.

Although the World Economic News controls the world's only video node connecting the world, generating huge profits and earning a lot of money every day, the majority of that money is distributed to those who create the value of the videos.

Moreover, the cost of watching videos is not high; many videos cost less than the price of a newspaper.

The World Economic News's business strategy is to operate on a high-volume, low-margin basis, and many of its videos can be viewed repeatedly, allowing for repeated profit generation.

However, the World Den Den Mushi Group is also a huge force that monopolizes the cultivation and production of Den Den Mushi. It is a collection of many forces with a powerful background.

The World Economic News, Affiliated Nation, the Kingdom of Four Seas, various forces, and even underground dark forces are all part of it.

Even the most basic Transponder Snail costs 100,000 Beli, not to mention the more expensive and feature-rich Den Den Mushi.

The Transponder Snail is updated and upgraded every once in a while, with better features, and every time it is released, countless people will spend money to buy it.

One can imagine just how enormous the profits involved are.

Because of its powerful background, even the World Government dares not take action against or occupy the World Den Den Mushi Group.

Not to mention that the World Den Den Mushi Group's headquarters are located in the Four Seas, and the various forces within it instinctively reject the World Government, the World Government also missed its best opportunity to intervene in the World Den Den Mushi Group.

The World Den Den Mushi Group expanded rapidly during the years surrounding the Golden Sea Battle.

During that period, the seas were in great turmoil, and the World Government was unable to spare the resources to deal with the World Den Den Mushi Group. After the Golden Sea Battle, it was even more difficult to protect itself.

"Let's go, baboons, we can't keep them waiting." Doflamingo revealed his wicked smile, put his hands in his pockets, and walked down the spiral staircase with his signature gait.

The others followed suit in an orderly fashion. Although they were all forces invited by the Night Pirates and the Big Mom Pirates, the New World was a world where strength was paramount. Those at the front were naturally the strongest, with greater power and the highest status, such as Doflamingo and Morgans.

The weaker ones can only follow behind.

This is the law of survival in the Underworld, and those who were arranged to live in the Hera Palace basically belonged to the dark world, that is, the underworld.

Those on the righteous side, such as those from Fish-Man Island, important ministers of the kingdom, merchants, or some well-known forces, were all placed in the Purple Water Palace.

Finally, the Giant race and some pirates were assigned to the Combat Pyramid.

This orderly division also avoids conflicts.

The tightly closed doors of the Hera Palace opened, and one after another, important figures emerged.

In an instant, the sound of clicking and snapping filled the air as reporters took photos of them with their Den Den Den Mushi), trying to find the best angle and capture what they considered the perfect picture.

"It's Heavenly Yaksha!"

"Big News Morgans, Morgans!"

"Queen Stephanie of the Brilliant Casino, and Pleasure Street Queen Stussy, are two sisters."

"Du Feld, the King of Loan Sharks!"

"Shipping King Umit!"

"And there's also Warehouse Owner Kibosen!"

"This is amazing! These are all big shots that are rarely seen. All the dark kings of the New World's Underworld are here. Is this the power map of the Night Pirates and the Big Mom Pirates?" someone exclaimed in amazement.

The gathering of prominent figures from various New World made this event even more impressive than the Night Pirates' Sequence Battle.

There were so many important figures appearing; this was the first time they had ever been so close to these important people.

Compared to these powerful figures in the underworld, who have calm or fierce expressions, or even a slight smile.

Morgans waved excitedly to everyone around him, occasionally blowing kisses, which elicited loud cheers.

The distance from the Hera Palace to the Cloud Path is only two hundred meters, but it feels incredibly long.

The members of the Night Pirates maintained order on both sides, and no one dared to rush in and risk their life.

Will someone step in? Doflamingo's eyes, hidden behind his sunglasses, gleamed with excitement, a hint of anticipation in them.

With so many people around, it's the perfect opportunity to make a move.

These powerful figures in the dark forces are usually very well hidden. To have reached this level, which one of them hasn't had countless lives on their hands?

The number of people they offended, and those who wanted them dead, was countless.

There will definitely be someone who won't let this opportunity to eliminate their competitor pass them by.

"Bang!" A gunshot rang out.

As if on cue, the crowd suddenly surged, and hundreds of figures leaped high into the air, wielding various weapons as they charged toward the leaders of these underground forces.

"Ah! There's an assassin!" The crowd fell silent for a moment, then an ordinary person screamed loudly, and the crowd became agitated and chaotic.

"It's starting! "Doflamingo smiled, instinctively extending his finger, preparing to use his ability.

He was unsure whether the Night Pirates would intervene, even though sending people to assassinate their guests on the Night Pirates' territory was a provocation.

Given the Night Pirates' emphasis on strength, dying in an assassination attempt would only demonstrate one's incompetence and lack of ability to follow them.

The moment the assassins made their move, the members of the Night Pirates on both sides reacted quickly and took action. Facing the incoming bullets, the members who were closest raised their weapons to defend themselves.

Seeing that the Night Pirates had made their move, Doflamingo lowered his hand. Since the Night Pirates were going to take action, there was no problem. He didn't believe that these mere assassins could withstand the power of the Night Pirates. If nothing unexpected happened, there were definitely members of the Night Pirates hiding around.

This attack was actually expected, since the leaders of underground forces are generally very difficult to kill. If one attack fails, they will be more careful next time.

Many people only know the names of these adults, but don't know what they look like.

The long-range bullets were easily deflected by the members of the Night Pirates.

What is that?

In the distance, enormous transparent bubbles appeared, flying rapidly and crashing directly into the bodies of the assassins who were still suspended in mid-air, their expressions changing as the bubbles enveloped them.

The attack was countered almost immediately; the timing was excellent, indicating prior preparation.

The assassins fought desperately, trying to pop the bubble, but to no avail; even with sharp blades in hand, they couldn't puncture it.

Most of them were trapped, as if in a cage, unable to break free, with bubbles floating in mid-air.

Here she comes, and it's Anne who made the move, sitting on a throne-shaped bubble on a rooftop not far away.

"Heh! So few people and they dare to cause trouble!" Anne chuckled as she looked at the assassins.

Anne has developed the Bubble-Bubble Fruit's power to an extremely high level, making her external defense very strong, but there are always limits, and the inside is more vulnerable than the outside.

A small number of highly skilled and renowned assassins broke the bubble and escaped.

At this point, how could they possibly think about the mission? Their first thought was to escape. All they wanted was money, but that was nothing compared to their own lives.

"Run!"

Their operation failed when the Night Pirates' executives appeared.

Their operation succeeded based on the Night Pirates' overconfidence and lack of vigilance, but this was an ideal situation; the Night Pirates were far more meticulous than imagined.

Moreover, although the forces that sent these assassins were not within his territory and he hadn't obtained much intelligence, their every move was being monitored after entering the Night Sea Domain. Compared to professional agents, they were still somewhat lacking in stealth.

One by one, the assassins began to escape, these desperate criminals each displaying their unique abilities.

Anne's expression remained unchanged as she looked at the escaped assassins, seemingly unconcerned about them.

Suddenly, as if sensing something, Doflamingo's pupils contracted.

A glint flashed in Morgans' eyes, and he instinctively raised his camera, aiming it at the assassins' positions. He already sensed that an exciting scene was about to unfold.

The next moment, huge bone spikes, more than ten meters long, emerged from the ground and pierced the bodies of these assassins with incredible speed and precision.

The speed was so fast that even if the brain reacted, the body didn't have time to act.

The hard bone spikes are both the strongest shield and the strongest spear. Even if the body is covered with Armament Haki, it is difficult to resist them. Most people can only cover part of their body with Armament Haki, and it takes time to mobilize Haki to cover their body after they react.

Therefore, everything happened too suddenly, or rather, the difference in strength was too great. These assassins didn't even have time to use their Armament Haki before being easily killed by Kaguya.

Almost everyone watched this scene in horror, Kaguya's image flashing through their minds.

With crisp footsteps, Kaguya walked quietly towards them, her shoulder-length hair flowing, her gaze calm, as if she cared about nothing.

Ignoring the crowd around him, he controlled the bone spikes to contract, the bone fluid flowing like liquid on the ground before returning to his body. As for the assassins who tried to escape, they were all dead.

Looking up at the terrified assassins trapped in bubbles in the sky, he waved slightly, "Arrest them all, lock them up for now, and add them to the list for the Bloody Escape Race."

"Yes, Kaguya."

The members of the Night Pirates behind her spoke respectfully, each one wearing handcuffs and chains. After Anne controlled the bubble to descend from the sky, they captured all the troublemaking assassins.

The Bloody Escape Race is a Daimyo competition in the Night Sea Domain, attracting countless viewers with its brutal and innovative format alone.

This Bloody Escape Race is also known as the "Journey of Atonement" because all the participants are pirates and criminals who have committed grave mistakes in the Night Sea Domain.

Even with the Night Pirates' deterrent presence, some foreign pirates find it difficult to completely control themselves when they come to the Night Sea Domain. As a result, quite a few pirates have been captured by the Night Pirates, including Navy intelligence personnel and World Government spies.

The Night Pirates will not kill them outright.

Instead, they atone for their sins through Bloody Escape Race.

As for how to atone for one's sins, it is naturally through killing and bloodshed.

One thousand people are imprisoned on a blood-red island called Bloody Island. Within a month, no matter what means are used, the last three remaining will be able to achieve redemption, leave the island, escape the Night Sea Domain unscathed, and take one hundred million Beli with them.

As for why it's called the Escape Race, it's because the island is completely enclosed, even the sky is blocked, like a cage from which there is no escape. The only way is to survive to the end.

Every ten days, the Night Pirates release a poisonous gas on the island, which spreads from the surrounding areas towards the center. Once poisoned, it will cause death over a long period of time, forcing them to constantly flee. As the poisonous gas expands, it eventually gathers in a small area at the center of the island.

The Bloody Escape Race has now been held eight times, roughly every six months. For many, it is a very grand and exciting event, and each time the Night Pirates watch it, they earn a considerable amount of Beli.

Such competitions, by utilizing these sinners who should have died, can enhance the prestige of the Night Pirates, deter other pirates within the crew, and prevent unpleasant incidents from occurring on their territory.

That's the main purpose.

"Baboons! The Bloody Escape Race will start in two months, right? We should see them on Bloody Island then. I wonder if the three who survive will be among them." Doflamingo chuckled to himself, perhaps talking to the others around him.

But in his heart, he was thinking about Kaguya Night Pirates.

The accident, from start to finish, took less than a minute, so easily it was frightening.

The matter was resolved, and order was quickly restored thanks to the efforts of the Night Pirates. However, because of this incident, the Night Pirates stole the spotlight from Doflamingo and his crew.

After walking along this path and passing through the cloud path, one by one, passengers board the ornately decorated cable cars and proceed along the cloud path towards the entrance to Dream Island.
