Chapter 666: Gambling and Carnival
A storm is brewing on the sea, and the driving force behind all this - the remnants of the World Government, are doing everything they can to try to turn the tide of the war and regain their former dominance.
In a secret underground base, dozens of high-ranking officials of the World Government dressed in black robes gathered together. The air was filled with anxiety and the burning candles cast swaying shadows, as if the darkness was swallowing up the last of the light.
Sitting at the head of the group was one of the highest commanders of the World Government, Ulysses Kalman, an old man with a stern face and sharp eyes.
His fingers tapped the tabletop, his voice low and firm:
“We are running out of time.
The new navy's momentum is too strong, and the navy has completely sided with them.
If we don’t act, world government will disappear from history.”
"In order to win this war, we must use everything we have - money, technology, manpower, all resources must be mobilized!"
These words made everyone at the conference table tremble slightly.
The world government has ruled for hundreds of years. They control countless wealth, technology, and military power, but they never thought that one day they would be forced into such a situation and forced to put all their cards on the line just to reverse the defeat in this war.
"Your Mightiness,"
A black-clad agent whispered,
“We have begun full mobilization and deployed all available resources to support the pirate coalition.
The arms factories are working overtime to produce weapons, and the "Celestial Dragons' exclusive warships" that have been preserved in the past have also begun to be transformed and are ready to be sent to the front line.
As for the funds... We have already used the 'Tianlong People Reserve Fund', and a large amount of gold and jewelry is flowing to the Pirate Alliance through the black market."
Ulysses nodded, his eyes showing a cold murderous intent:
"Very good, proceed. But money and weapons alone are not enough, we need more allies."
At the same time, all the intelligence agents from CP0, CP1 to CP9 are running around the world. They have only one mission - to find all those who may oppose the new navy and unite them!
In an abandoned town in the South China Sea, several CP agents wearing white masks shuttled through the dilapidated alleys.
They walked into a shabby tavern with ease. When the tavern owner saw them, his face suddenly changed. He was about to say something, but was shocked by the golden badge taken out by one of the agents.
"We want to see 'Vulture' Barnett."
the agent whispered.
The tavern owner swallowed, nodded, and asked them to follow him into the basement.
"Vulture" Barnett, once the world government's most wanted criminal, was hunted down for slaughtering countless celestial dragons and is now hiding in the dark world.
When the CP agents pushed open the door to the basement, they saw Barnett - a man sitting on a wine barrel with a cigar in his mouth.
His single eye flashed dangerously in the dim candlelight. When he heard the footsteps, he raised his head slightly, with a mocking smile on his face:
"Oh, this is really strange, people from the World Government actually came to me on their own initiative.
Tell me, what do you want?"
The leading CP0 agent said slowly:
"We don't want anything but to give you a chance."
Barnett raised his eyebrows and exhaled a puff of smoke with interest:
"Oh? What chance?"
CP0's voice was emotionless:
"Join us, join the Pirate Alliance.
As long as you are willing to stand on our side, we will forgive all your past crimes.
Even...if you win the war, you can get your own territory and become one of the rulers of the new world."
Barnett was silent for a moment, then burst into laughter:
"Hahaha, that's really funny!
Would you, the people of the world government, also turn to a 'terrorist' like me for help?
It seems you are really anxious."
"We are not in a hurry,"
CP0 said calmly,
“We just secure the win.”
Barnett's laughter gradually died down, and the light in his eyes began to become dangerous.
He slowly put down the cigar in his hand, stood up, walked to the CP agents, stared at their masks, and raised a bloodthirsty smile:
“Deal, sounds good.
But if you dare to lie to me, even if the situation turns, I will tear you apart with my own hands. "
"Then it will be a pleasure to cooperate."
Agent CP nodded and slowly extended his hand.
Scenes like this are happening all over the world.
West Sea: A former pirate warlord who was suppressed by the New Navy is secretly rescued by CP agents, who promise to rebuild his power if he helps them.
North Sea: The remaining troops of the World Government secretly contacted several large mercenary organizations. They were willing to spend a lot of money to hire these mercenaries to harass the rear of the New Navy and create chaos.
East China Sea: A local official of the New Navy was secretly instigated to defect. He will provide important military intelligence to the World Government at a critical moment.
All this is happening quietly.
Darkness is about to fall, the true rise of the Pirate Alliance
With the influx of large amounts of weapons, warships, and funds, the combat power of the pirate alliance is growing rapidly.
They were once in a state of decline, but now they are beginning to regroup and prepare for a counterattack.
With the support of the World Government, they are more dangerous than ever.
On the stormy island, Perospero licked his lips, looked at the boxes of weapons being delivered to the dock, and couldn't help laughing:
"Haha, it looks like we're going to turn the tide."
Gran Aigwetan held a battle axe in his hand and stared into the distance with blazing eyes:
"This war has just begun..."
In the shadows, Clivian narrowed his eyes and whispered softly:
"New Navy... do you really think victory has been achieved?"
In the dark night, the sea surface seemed to be painted with a layer of deep ink, and in this dark sea, a huge fleet consisting of hundreds of pirate ships was breaking through the waves.
The sea breeze was howling, the flags were fluttering, and the black skull flags blocked out the starlight, as if the whole world was swallowed up by the violent aura of these desperadoes.
On the pirate ship, the light of the torches flickered, illuminating the arrogant and ferocious faces like evil spirits.
Their eyes were filled with bloodthirsty excitement and they laughed wildly. The air was filled with alcohol, blood and the excitement of the impending war.
"Hahaha! Finally, we can have a good fight!"
On the deck of the flagship "Sea Shark", the leader of the Egvitan Pirates, Gran Egvitan, stood at the bow, holding his huge battle axe in his hand, looking at the sea ahead with fiery eyes.
His chest heaved, the breath from his nostrils was as hot as that of a wild beast, his fingers stroked the axe handle, he was so excited that he wanted to immediately stain the weapon with the enemy's blood.
"Those new navy guys think they can destroy us so easily?
Hahahaha, I'm going to let them see who is the real master of this sea!"
Gran roared and grinned, revealing his sharp teeth, and his voice echoed throughout the sea like thunder.
On the deck, countless pirates heard these words and burst into thunderous cheers.
Some men lifted up wine barrels, tilted their heads back and drank wildly, with the wine flowing down their beards; others pushed each other on the deck, excitedly showing off their weapons, and couldn't wait to rip open the enemy's stomach.
"Kill them! What are the new navy and navy?!"
"We are pirates! This sea belongs to us!"
"Take back our freedom and throw all those damn righteous guys into the sea to feed the sharks!"
