Pirate Lord of Darkness

"Is that so?" Teach nodded and listened to Redyard, who had now returned, tell Nelson that he had also received news from the newspaper in advance about the major event of O'Hara's destruction.

"This is not bad. Although it has nothing to do with us, the fire has been planted. No matter what, there will definitely be a moment of burning in the future. At that time, it will add trouble to the World Government and the Navy. It will be beneficial to us." , Tiqi smiled, picked up the wine glass on the table, and looked at Redeat next to him, and the two of them clinked a glass together in tacit understanding.

"boom!"

A crisp voice sounded, and they sniffed the aroma of wine, and together they took a sip of Ti Qi's collection of monkey wine.

Being able to cause trouble for the World Government is naturally a good thing for Tikki and the others. It doesn't matter, it's just a difference in stance. Whether Tikki, the captain of the Night Pirates, will become the overlord-level pirate of the new world in the future, he will become the navy and the world. A thorn in the side of the government and a target of focus.

The same is true for Redyard. Whether it is his previous identity as the prince of Tirisfal Kingdom or his current status as an important figure in the Night Pirates and Teach's deputy, not to mention his bloodline and identity as the son of the "Aloof Red", this Sooner or later, the identity will be exposed, when Redyard decides to inherit the name.

To a certain extent, Redyard is no less important than Teach.

"The Dark Council will start in a few days, and Lafitte has already finished it." Teach said to Redyard, "In the underground world of the West Sea, Lafitte has convinced two-thirds of the forces. About two-thirds of the forces will come to participate in this Dark Parliament, which is much better than we expected."

In Tiqi's expectation, except for the giants who had prepared the underground world of the West Sea in advance, few forces would join in. Because they did not see tangible benefits, most of them were waiting and watching, or even laughing.

As for Tiqi and the others, they had already made preparations, and the preparations were difficult at the beginning, because the development of the forces required a lot of funds, which were all provided by these forces, and Tiqi would also secretly provide some.

The influx of money had already started a month ago for the various needs of the formation of the Dark Council, so the financial pressure was huge.

Now, with so many forces convinced by Lafitte, Teach still underestimated Lafitte's talent as a diplomat.

However, just participating in this Dark Parliament does not mean that these forces will join the Dark Parliament, but since they are willing to participate, this Dark Parliament is half the success.

The detailed charter for the formation of the Dark Council has been completed as early as this month. Lafitte, who represented Teach, talked, argued, and customized with the underground forces in great detail.

As long as someone attends this meeting, others will naturally join in, and the financial pressure will be reduced.

A detailed charter will definitely attract those with foresight. They can also see the potential of the Dark Parliament. The earlier they join, the higher the benefits they will receive.

You know, the Dark Parliament also has thresholds.

"As expected of him." Redyard couldn't help but admire. During those days of working with Lafitte, he also had a good understanding of Lafitte. Whether it was strength, talent, or even character, he was first-class. of.

As an ancient Devil Fruit user, Lafitte's future is certain to be good, and his overall ability ranks among the top three among all cadres.

"Then it's up to you to successfully form the Dark Council. Although some people who resisted have been dealt with, there is no guarantee that anyone will cause trouble in the Dark Council. If there are any, you know." Teach said. As he stood, a cold light flashed in his eyes, a trace of cruelty.

The Dark Council is undoubtedly a big deal. In the future, it will definitely not be limited to the Western Sea. It will expand to the four seas and great waterways are possible.

The help that can be brought to Teach is not only materials and funds, but also intelligence and influence. This can also make the world government and navy fearful, because just one word can cause chaos in the entire West China Sea.

"Well, it's clear. If there is, I will execute him on the spot. We probably haven't killed enough. Lafitte should be very happy." Redyard lowered his head slightly and smiled.

"However, if such a big thing happens, the navy will probably come to trouble us again."

Of course what Redyard was talking about was the battle a few days ago. Teach killed Vice Admiral Brom, and Redyard also made his initial appearance, surprising everyone.

After that incident, the navy did not take any obvious actions. Even the Demon Slaying Order's team did not come to provoke the Dark Night Pirates. They left the West Sea directly and returned to the great waterway.

This disappointed some people who thought that the Navy Headquarters would take advantage of the situation to encircle and suppress the Night Pirates.

After that, only the bounty of the Night Pirates as a whole increased a bit. The bounty of "Dark Emperor" Teach, the captain of the Night Pirates, increased by more than 2 million, directly to 520 million Bei. Profit, another addition to the resume.

As for Ledyard, his bounty also exceeded [-] million beli, but his name was still not on his bounty order.

I believe in Redyard's origin, his name must be on the Navy World Government's search list.

"It should be soon, but only after we reach the great sea route. As long as we don't take the initiative to cause trouble, the navy should not come to us for trouble." Teach smiled and shook his head, "After all, suppressing the world is the most important thing for the navy now. mission."

"Furthermore, the Navy Headquarters is also undergoing upgrading. With the opening of the Great Piracy Era, the defeat of the New World War, and the face of a more chaotic sea and rampant pirates, the Navy will also face the sea with a new look and provide the people with a new look. Confidence with the franchise countries." Teach explained, with a hint of surprise in his eyes.

This is the trend within the Navy Headquarters, which also includes the decision-making and consensus of the upper levels of the World Government. It is the news that Teach got from Stephanie. When he learned the news, Teach was very shocked. The birth of the three generals will be brought forward. , which has various influences.

Mainly because in this era, the navy showed a weakness in the face of pirates, which caused the franchise countries and the world government to lose patience with the navy.

Among them are the delegation of power by Marshal Cyborg Sora, the gradual rise in power of General Sengoku, and the three new generation natural Devil Fruit users who have grown up. Behind them, there are many supporters, representing complicated interests. relation.

For example, Sakaski has become the spokesperson of the hawks within the navy. The main attitude of pirates towards the sea is tough and iron-blooded.

Kuzan, on the other hand, is the representative of the doves within the Navy. Staff Officer He is the main figure of the doves. General Sengguo is a hawk on the surface, but in his heart he is a dove. Although the naval hero Garp did not express his position, he But he is close to dovish people.

The last Porusalino, because of his character and his own strength, naturally became the representative of the neutral camp.

However, the general is the navy and represents the peak combat power of the sea. It is useless to just reach the general level in terms of strength. You must become a strong man among the general level to become a general. Only in this way can you have enough strength to shock the entire sea. .

Now, it will take some time for these three new stars within the navy to reach the level of generals in terms of strength. This time will take at least seven or eight years, or even longer. It is not so easy to become a general. Simple.

And they also have some competitors in the navy. After all, there must be a few hidden strong men in the navy, with strength reaching the level of general.

If their original strength was still somewhat insufficient, but if they lowered their requirements in order to cope with this chaotic era, then they would have an opportunity for the position of general.

You must know that a general is not only a position, but also a right. The general has great power, not only in the navy, in the world government, but also in the affiliated countries. The benefits contained in it are astonishing, and it also has extremely high symbolic significance. , there can only be three in total in the navy, and they will never give up as long as they have a chance.

Moreover, in addition to strength and military merit, Sakaski and the others still have some shortcomings. In terms of strength, they can lower their requirements in advance, but not in terms of military merit. You cannot become a general without enough merit. At the same time, in the general The prestige at sea is still somewhat lacking.

"Really? So quickly, the most likely ones are these three natural devil fruit users. Judging from their age, they should all have broken the record of Black-armed Zefa becoming a general." Redeat's pupils shrank. , a general is not so easy to become.

"Who knows?" Teach smiled and took a sip of wine. "Policies for extraordinary times are just in the past few years anyway." As far as Teach knows, even the Shichibukai policy has been advanced. It was originally just a bill. Now, It is already in the process of being formulated, and I believe it will not take a few years before the Shichibukai policy will be announced.

As for the candidates for the Shichibukai, Teach is also a little curious. Will they be the original members?

After all, the situation in the sea has changed a lot, and it is very different from the original. Doflamingo is certain that the status of the Shichibukai and the rights it brings can bring him huge benefits.

The sand crocodile Crocodile is not sure, and he doesn’t know where he is now. However, after the great pirate era began, he went to the new world alone in a short period of time, challenged the world’s strongest Whitebeard, and was ultimately defeated miserably. One hand was lost and replaced with a golden hook.

Moonlight Moria probably wouldn't. In the new world, he doesn't need the rights and position of the Shichibukai, and he doesn't like this position. This will cause other pirates to reject him.

Others may become Shichibukai, and may also be affected in some way.

"In this case, we can stay in the West Sea for a while, just in time to stabilize the Dark Council and avoid some changes that will occur when the method is initially established." Redyard thought and expressed his thoughts.

"Well, it doesn't matter if we go to the New World later. The cadres haven't grown up yet. They need two years to become stronger. If the navy doesn't trouble us and doesn't rush to the first half of the great route, once it leaves the Four Seas, it will definitely We will be targeted by the navy, and there may be an encirclement and suppression of us." Teach said seriously, the time since their pirate group was established is still too short, and they still need time to become stronger.

As for Teach, he also needs to further train his body so that his physical strength can truly reach the level of a general, as well as develop the Devil Fruit.

All they need is time.

With the Dark Council incident, the Night Pirates will have no choice but to stay in the West Sea.

This is also to prevent any accidents.

"Then let's see where we can go next. It's best to be stable. Help me get the chart of the West Sea."

This was said to Nelson, who was sitting not far away.

In the blink of an eye, a complete and open chart of the Western Sea appeared on the deck in front of Teach.

Teach held a baton in his hand and determined their current position on it. At the same time, the route of the Night Pirates from the West Sea was also drawn on the chart.

This target is somewhere else, and others can't help but gather around it. This is to determine where they want to go next and sail on the sea.

As the captain, this matter was naturally determined by Teach. Teach's eyes kept scanning the chart, the kingdoms and islands marked on the chart.

However, Tiqi was not familiar with the Western Sea. Tiqi did not know the customs and customs of these kingdoms and islands, so he could not be sure.

"If you're not sure, just take a look at this." Redyard's voice suddenly came to his ears.

I saw a shadow extending along Redeat's shadow, and then, several books slowly emerged from the shadow.

Look at the title on the cover, "The Travels of Marco Polo."

"This is a book written by the famous traveler Marco Polo. He traveled all over the world and recorded it during his lifetime. I accidentally saw it. These books are all about the records of the Western Sea. With these books, it should be of great interest to Our next goal will be somewhat helpful." Redyard smiled, these books were one of the books stored in O'Hara's library, and he noticed them.

"It just so happens that Marco Polo was a man more than 50 years ago. His records should not have changed much from the current Xihai. It's just right to have these books." Teach nodded. Regarding Marco Polo, Teach also has some ideas. I have heard that he is a world-famous traveler and a person who can be remembered by history.

His travel diary covers all well-known and distinctive countries, towns, attractions, and even some very dangerous islands in the world.

With these books, their purpose will be much clearer.

"Look for it, and then list a route. However, we need a musician or even a music team on the ship, so we first look for islands and kingdoms with a musical atmosphere." Tiqi also needs to exercise and has no time. After reading such thick books, I naturally handed them over to my subordinates, and several of them opened these books with great interest.

"If the West Sea has the strongest musical atmosphere, it should be Venus, the city of music known as the Holy Land of Music." Redyard touched his chin, heard Teach's words, and said, As an erudite and far-sighted prince of the West Sea, Redyard spoke his mind.
