"Take a look at your choices."

At Night Palace, Teach laughed recklessly.

He held two beauties in his arms. Their fair skin and lovely hair stood out, but they were too weak to struggle.

They were Nico Robin and her mother, Olvia. They had surrendered to his overwhelming power long ago. Besides, it was the Night Pirates who had saved Robin's mother and reunited them.

Over the years, a trade network based around important islands and allied nations had long since taken shape.
