Chapter 145
After three months of sailing, the Aitrias Pirates also arrived in front of this island. After entering the port, Vilin immediately recognized the flagships of Rocks, Newgate, and Shiki.
He was somewhat surprised by the speed of the three.
Originally, Vilin thought he would be the first to arrive here, but he didn't expect these people to be even faster than him.
With the Flying Bird smoothly docking at the port, Vilin let the crew move freely. After handing over all Aitrias Pirates affairs to Shakky, Vilin took Linlin and walked toward the center of the island.
He planned to ask about Rocks' next plan.
"Jie hahahahaha!" "Vilin, you're finally here."
While Vilin and Linlin were getting close, a discordant voice caught Vilin's attention.
Seeing it was Shiki, Vilin also stopped walking.
"Hahahahaha!" "Shiki, long time no see!"
Looking at Shiki's pleased expression, Vilin chatted with him casually.
Soon Vilin learned from Shiki about the Rocks Pirates' next plan.
Rocks planned to rest on Manhattan Island for a while. Vilin wasn't surprised by this at all. After chatting with Shiki for a bit, Vilin then took Linlin and headed toward Rocks' residence.
"Hahahahaha!" "Vilin, you're a bit late this time!"
"I plan to rest here for a while." "Wait until everyone recovers before launching the total attack on the Iron Wall Pirates!"
Vilin looked at Rocks' confident face and nodded in agreement. Because on the way here he had noticed that the Rocks Pirates' crew numbers had become much thinner than when they left — the Rocks fleet had probably faced stubborn resistance from the Iron Wall Pirates.
"Hahahahaha!" "No problem, then Linlin and I will go rest first!"
After saying goodbye to Rocks, Vilin and Linlin strolled leisurely back toward the Flying Bird.
While Vilin and the others were waiting, Gloriosa, John, Silver Axe, and Wang Zhi also arrived one after another with their fleets.
Hearing that the Kuja Pirates had come, Shakky immediately became excited and pulled Vilin toward the Kuja Pirates' residence.
Seeing that the Kuja Pirates hadn't suffered too many casualties, Shakky's face also showed a happy expression.
Gloriosa looked at Shakky's slightly bulging belly, a complicated look flashing in her eyes.
But she hid it very well.
However, Vilin's Observation Haki slightly sensed some of Gloriosa's emotions, which made him a little stunned. But now was a critical time — Vilin planned to talk to her after this battle ended.
After all the important people had gathered here, Rocks immediately brought everyone together and held a lively banquet.
After the banquet ended, the Rocks Pirates once again set off on their final journey.
While the Rocks Pirates were heading toward Steel Island, the Navy had also assembled their forces. Under Steel Bone Kong's leadership, a fleet composed of more than ten Navy Headquarters Vice Admirals sailed toward the G-34 Base.
With the actions of Rocks and the Navy, all forces in the New World vaguely felt that the next era was about to begin.
Golden City, inside a restaurant entirely built of gold.
A grand banquet was being held here.
At the central large table of the banquet, the high-ranking members of the Golden Pirates and Mad Lion Pirates had gathered.
Looking at the invited Aynes, Ubel immediately showed a happy expression and let out a hearty laugh.
"Wahahahaha!" "Aynes brother, let's toast to a beautiful future!"
Looking at Ubel's somewhat exaggerated smile, Aynes didn't buy his words at all.
He looked at Ubel with a fake smile and said:
"Ubel, this invitation isn't just to treat me to a meal, right?"
Hearing Aynes' words, Ubel's smile instantly stiffened.
Bario and Thornton sitting below Ubel saw Aynes daring to speak to their captain in such a tone and immediately couldn't hold back.
Seeing the atmosphere in the room become tense, Ubel had to stand up and smooth things over.
"Hahahahaha!" "Everyone is a smart person, so I'll just say it directly."
"Now the Rocks Pirates have already broken through the Iron Wall Pirates' outer defense lines."
"And the Navy has also left headquarters, preparing to strike at us."
"I hope the Mad Lion Pirates can help us resist the Navy's attack."
"I believe! If the Navy defeats us!" "Whether the Rocks Pirates or the Iron Wall Pirates win, it will bring no benefit to the development of your Mad Lion Pirates."
Hearing Ubel's analysis, Aynes also fell into silence.
Obviously this hit his sore spot.
The reason he came was somewhat out of necessity.
He never imagined the New World would develop into its current state.
Although Aynes also agreed with Ubel's proposal, just a few words were far from enough to convince him.
"That's not enough!"
"To make the Mad Lion Pirates help the Golden Pirates resist the Navy, what you said is far from enough!"
Hearing Aynes' words, Ubel immediately understood what the other party meant.
This made him curse Aynes half to death in his heart.
If he really had the confidence to resist the Navy's attack, with his temper, he would have killed the other party long ago.
In the end, Ubel still gritted his teeth and endured.
"What are your conditions?" "I'll try my best to satisfy you!"
After hearing Ubel compromise, the corners of Aynes' mouth finally curled up, and a calm smile appeared on his face.
"To help the Golden Pirates resist the Navy, the Mad Lion Pirates definitely need to recruit a large number of people!"
"And we don't have a foothold yet."
"I'm afraid these will all require Captain Ubel's care!"
Hearing Aynes' somewhat shameless words, Ubel couldn't help clenching his fists, squeezing out a stiff smile on his face.
But in the end he still gritted his teeth and agreed. After all, if he lost to the Navy, his territory and wealth would definitely be lost.
If he could defeat the Navy, he could also find an opportunity to get rid of Aynes, this guy taking advantage of the fire to rob.
"Good!" "I agree to your conditions!"
"Your Mad Lion Pirates can rest in the Five Claw Island sea area!"
"As for money and supplies, I'll have Thornton hand them over to you."
After Ubel agreed to his conditions, Aynes finally nodded in acceptance.
Although the territories Ubel gave him were all relatively close to the Navy, he didn't mind.
Anyway, he wouldn't help the other party resist the Navy alone. If it really came to it, he could still take advantage of the chaos and rob the Golden Pirates.
He was quite greedy for Ubel's wealth.
