A New Arrival

This was just a minor incident.

Mijela and Garron arrived at a luxurious inn built by the Night Pirates. Upon entering, they found that members were already prepared.

Through a secret passage, they first went to the Night Pirates' base on Pagila Island, and then, escorted by members, crossed the sea in a special airship to Saint Louis Island.

To avoid revealing their identities, they naturally couldn't make a big fuss; Saga had done the same when he arrived.

The closer they got, the more excited they became. Finally, the moment arrived, and they looked around at the scenery with trepidation.

The airship landed at the Night Palace, where Lafitte, who had arrived earlier, was waiting.

"Please come with me." Lafitte smiled and greeted the two men with a Gentleman bow, his demeanor gentle, and gestured for them to step aside.

"It's Lafitte!" Upon seeing Lafitte, Mijela and Garron's eyes lit up. They knew the main members of the Night Pirates by heart.

The appearance of such an important figure was undoubtedly a huge surprise for them.

Under the watchful eyes of the members guarding the Night Palace, the two small figures followed Lafitte slowly toward the Hall of Domination.

Meanwhile, one can admire the scenery along the way to the Night Palace. The Night Palace is more luxurious than imagined, beautiful, and majestic.

As you approach the main hall, you are greeted by two enormous buildings.

The Golden Bell, over 100 meters tall, is ancient and full of historical atmosphere. In front of the Golden Bell, everything else seems insignificant.

But after witnessing the sheer size of the Combat Pyramid, their mental fortitude improved considerably.

However, the clock, made entirely of gold, still deeply moved them.

In the large fountain in front of the Hall of Domination, a three-headed dragon representing the Night Pirates stands upright with its wide wings spread, looking extremely ferocious.

"It's Ghidorah!"

Ghidorah has long been a symbol of the Night Pirates, and over the years it has become deeply ingrained in people's minds. In the Night Sea Domain, almost every child can own a toy shaped like Ghidorah.

After traversing numerous steps, we arrived at the gates of the Hall of Domination. The Hall of Domination was so massive that even giants could easily pass through its gates.

They seemed to sense their arrival.

Boom!

The gate opened partially automatically, revealing a passage about ten meters wide for them to enter.

This is the second time. Most of the cadres have duties to perform and cannot attend in person. Even so, upon receiving the notification from the Night Palace, they immediately made time to participate in the meeting remotely via video projection.

One can never be too careful when it comes to the children of the ruler.

They definitely need to get to know each other beforehand.

"They've arrived."

Just like when Saga arrived, Teach looked down at the children and felt a sense of emotion.

Garron was a little reserved, but Mijela was much more open, looking at Teach at the highest point with a bright light in her eyes, "Daddy!"

Compared to "father," the word "dad" sounds more intimate.

"Um!"

Looking at his adorable daughter, Teach's face lit up with a contented smile; her clear, melodious voice seemed to melt his heart.

At that moment, Teach truly understood what it meant to be her father's little darling, and a feeling of joy welled up inside her.

Before Garron could react, Mijela had already taken the first step, stepped onto the stairs, and quickly walked up.

She lifted her skirt with both hands, bowed slightly, and looked around with a bright smile, "Greetings, uncles and sisters!"

In an instant, Mijela gained the favor of the main members of the various Night Pirates. They all looked at Mijela with smiles, even the members with terrifying appearances showed what they thought were friendly smiles.

Especially the female members, like Anne and Baccarat, had a gleam in their eyes, radiating maternal warmth, and their hearts melted when they looked at Mijela.

I really want to reach out and hug her.

Baccarat maintains a friendly relationship with Teach; Mijela is Teach's child, and in her heart, she is also her own child.

The other members looked at Teach with strange smiles, especially those who already had children. This included those like Mobius whose children were just born, and some members whose children were already several years old.

Who wouldn't love a daughter like that?

Even pirates show the utmost tolerance to polite children, let alone the child of the ruler.

After greeting the other members, Mijela continued forward to the highest point, stood in front of Teach, and without any nervousness, took one of Teach's hands and sat on one of Teach's legs.

Under the astonished gazes of the other members, Teach's body stiffened, and a rare hint of panic appeared in his eyes. Although he tried to hide it well, it was still noticed by many of the other members.

Unexpectedly, after so many years of dominating the seas, the Dark Emperor Teach, who now rules the New World, has always been full of confidence and in control of everything. Even when he was suffering from the pain of the shockwave entering his body during his battle with Whitebeard, he did not flinch.

It's quite amusing that he's showing such unusual panic in front of a little girl.

"Dad! We've finally met! I've wanted to see you for so long!" Mijela grabbed Teach's arm, her body looking tiny next to the nearly four-meter-tall Teach, and said affectionately, her eyes glistening with tears, seemingly from overwhelming excitement.

"Yes, we can meet anytime from now on, Mijela," Teach said softly, reaching out to gently stroke Mijela's silver hair.

Seeing his sister's appearance, Garron below couldn't help but twitch slightly at the corners of his eyes and mouth.

With his calm and even mature temperament, he would never do such a thing, especially given the unfamiliar distance between him and Teach.

"Garron, what are you standing there for? Come on up!" Realizing she had forgotten her brother was still downstairs, Mijela waved him over.

Taking a deep breath, Garron stepped steadily up the stairs.

The other members' eyes also fell on Garron.

"They look so alike." This is what many people think. Most of them have seen Saga and Garron, and they seem to be cut from the same mold.

The difference is that Garron has black hair, and their hairstyles are also slightly different.

Those who are more powerful can sense the difference between Saga and Garron: Garron's composure and Saga's fearlessness, neither of them panicking in this situation.

It's safe to say they are indeed the captain's children. Both Saga and Garron possess a sharp edge, obvious signs of training, and considerable strength, even though such strength seems very weak and easily defeated in their eyes.

Compared to others of the same age, this is quite impressive.

Of course, that's all.

In this era, there are many children who train from a young age. There are quite a few among the reserve members of the Night Pirates. It is common for them to be able to fight against fierce beasts at a young age.

Some outstanding individuals have even mastered one or two of the six styles of the Marine Six Styles.

Garron seems to have an advantage now, but it's not obvious, and he can't compare to those children who receive special training in terms of honing their skills.

However, the real gap in strength will only be revealed when potential is fully realized; only then can the difference between a monster and an ordinary genius be truly discerned.

Having inherited the bloodline of their sovereign, they had no doubt about Garron's future.

"Greetings, everyone." Garron didn't know how to greet them, so he couldn't perform a standard swordsman's salute like Mijela.

Their attitude towards Garron was similar to their attitude towards Saga before.

Unlike Mijela's kindness, their expectations of Garron and Saga were even higher. Although they didn't have any sexist ideas, most pirates on the sea were men, and most of the strongest men on the sea were also men.

The Whitebeard Pirates never allowed women to participate in battles, except for a few exceptionally strong ones, such as Ice Witch Whitey Bay, who also left her crew and became one of their own.

If we're talking about successors, the most likely candidates are Saga and Garron, especially Saga. Having eaten the Rumble-Rumble Fruit, known as the strongest Devil Fruit, and possessing his own powerful bloodline, he can be said to have already obtained the ticket to the pinnacle.

"Father." Garron approached Teach with some respect, much like Saga. Teach secretly hoped that Galon could be like Mijela.

But that's impossible; Teach knows Garron's personality.

The same scene unfolded, with black energy circulating and covering the ground beneath their feet. A table appeared before them, upon which sat exquisite boxes containing Teach's collection of the finest Devil Fruit.

"You should already know. Now, Mijela, Garron, make your choice."

When it came time to choose Devil Fruit, Mijela and Garron exchanged a glance.

"You choose first, Garron," Mijela said to Garron.

"Okay." Garron did not refuse and was very decisive. He had already thought it through. He went to the box with the Float-Float Fruit " written on it, opened the box, looked at the Float-Float Fruit inside, and couldn't hide his excitement. He took it in his hand and swallowed it in one gulp.

The Float-Float Fruit is the power he desires; it's an extremely powerful ability that allows him to control nature.

With Golden Lion Shiki as an example, he was confident that he could fully unleash the power of this Devil Fruit and develop his own unique abilities.

The Float-Float Fruit has many uses in Shiki's hands, but in battle he relies more on his powerful swordsmanship.

Everyone needs a goal to motivate them to move forward. Garron's goal is to surpass Golden Lion Shiki and become stronger than him.

Similarly, the Float-Float Fruit suits him well, and he likes this Devil Fruit.

"Mijela, what about you?"

Mijela looked at the words written on the boxes, the disappointment in her eyes impossible to hide.

Teach gently patted Mijela on the shoulder and asked.

"Dad, there's no ability I want in there." Mijela shook her head. It wasn't that she looked down on it, but rather that she wanted an ability that was more suitable for her.

Mijela's words surprised everyone, and the other members looked at Mijela curiously. Most people would find it impossible to refuse such Devil Fruit.

However, Mijela is Teach's child and has the right to choose, and besides, Teach has that ability.

"Oh? Tell me, what ability do you want? There's nothing in this world I can't get, as long as it exists," Teach said softly, her love for her daughter impossible to hide, even though this was their first meeting.

These words were extremely domineering, and the close core members could hear the hidden meaning in Teach's words: as long as it exists, if it is eaten, then it will be plundered.

This is their captain! In this world, as long as it exists, there's nothing they can't get.

Shouldn't a father fulfill his daughter's requests?

"Hmm." Mijela pondered, "I want Mythical Zoan Devil Fruit that can enhance my physique and give me the ability to fly. It can't be too big; the Phoenix would be good. If it has a humanoid form, that would be even better, like the Mythical Zoan Devil Fruit: Devil Mode."

"Unfortunately, its demon form has already been eaten." Mijela sighed regretfully as she said this.

Upon hearing Mijela's words, the key members who were nearby looked strange, and a somewhat eerie smile appeared on their faces. Based on their understanding of their captain, they knew that someone was about to be in trouble.

There are only a few humanoid mythical Mythical Zoan with high mobility in the ocean, including vampires, werewolves, and demons. Their fully evolved forms are not very large.

However, it's obvious to everyone that Mijela has a particular fondness for the Mythical Zoan Human- Human-Human Fruit in Devil form.

"Don't worry, it won't be long before the right Devil Fruit is delivered to you, Mijela," Teach chuckled softly, stroking Mijela's silver hair.

"It's alright, I'm not in a hurry to eat Devil Fruit." Mijela shook her head. She naturally knew Teach's energy was boundless. With so many top-tier Devil Fruit, he would definitely be able to find an ability that suited her.

Teach fingers lightly on the armrest, his gaze as deep and even terrifying as an abyss.

Whenever this happens, it means Teach is thinking about who to scheme against or who to take action against.

As for the target, it had already surfaced in the minds of the surrounding members, and they were vaguely looking forward to it, which meant that they had the opportunity to make a move.

The Demon Caesar has already been targeted by the Night Pirates, and his ultimate fate is sealed. Who told him to possess the power that Teach's daughter desired?

Mostima kept this in mind as well. Originally, they didn't care about the war between the Red-Haired Pirates and the Demon Pirates, nor did they have any intention of interfering.

But now, it's time to make some plans, or of course, do nothing at all, just like Teach did when he directly sent Golden Lion Shiki on his final journey.

"Garron, your mission is the same as Saga's: to reach the top of the Combat Pyramid before you turn seventeen. During this time, you must keep your identity as secret as possible."

After thinking it over, Teach looked at Garron.

"Yes, I understand, Father." Garron had eaten the Float-Float Fruit, recovered and said earnestly.

"And you, Mijela?" Teach asked, looking at Mijela beside him. He didn't make any demands, letting Mijela make his own choice.

"I don't care. Since that's the case, let's tell the sea, in the name of the Dark Emperor's daughter." Mijela said confidently. To be honest, she didn't want to hide her identity. She believed her father would protect her.

"Haha, that's settled then. From this day forward, you are the princess of the Night Pirates!"
