The Black Duke of the Pirate

A week later, the Black Duke Pirates returned to the Redding Kingdom on the New World Music Island. The people of the Redding Kingdom were shocked by the huge Galaxy Stars at the port. This battleship was something they had never heard of or seen before. Its majestic appearance, bustling external facilities, and sophisticated

Unimaginable.

Although they had already known about Reinhardt becoming a pirate through newspapers after the war on the top, when they met Reinhardt at this time, they felt a sense of panic. This was due to their fear of the sea.

The instinctive fear of thieves.

The person who really controls Redding is not the current King Meister, but Reinhard. This news has been circulating among the people. In the past, they didn't care, but now that Reinhard has become a pirate,

They had to consider this issue.

Therefore, despite being shocked, they are also worried about the future fate of the Redding Kingdom, whether the World Government will send troops to conquer it.

The people in Redding were a little panicked. Fortunately, Reinhardt had a plan to deal with it in advance. With Sake's methodical response, the situation in the country gradually stabilized.

But for civilians, pirates are pirates no matter what. Although the people do not show any resistance on the surface, there are many discussions in private. Therefore, Reinhard has also prepared a backup plan to use when necessary.

Use violent and bloody methods to stabilize the situation.

"Boss, all the forces of the Black Duke Pirates have been counted." In a huge conference room, the members of the Black Duke Pirates were seated at a round table. Igarashi Sake sat next to Reinhard and said.

One sentence.

Sake's current role is equivalent to that of a butler. Although he is not strong, his power is second only to Reinhardt. Except for the three aces who cannot directly command, others, including the Six Ultimates, can directly issue orders.

Reinhard nodded and said, "Then let's re-plan our fleet."

After hearing this, Sake said: "The current divisions of the Black Duke Pirates are as follows. The three aces and the six members have been formed and the staff has been replenished. The seven armed forces have just been formed, but only four people have been replenished. Now

There are still three members left, three trainee crew members, namely Eddie, Gopher, and Demi. In addition, the three pirate groups previously secretly formed by Mozer dismissed some relatively weak and unwilling to continue.

Apart from those who became pirates, there are still 443 people left."

"In addition to these, there are also the 631 Disgo Pirates recruited by the previous boss in the North Sea, the 200 pirates who won the life and death duel in the Colosseum, the 807 Kuro Pirates recruited in the New World, and the recent defections

The three New World Pirate Groups that came here now have a total of 5,078 people in the seven pirate groups."

"By the way, there are also a hundred people from the Artificial Devil Fruit Legion."

"The above reports are all people with combat effectiveness. As for other mafia members such as laboratories, military factories, wineries, shipping, shipyards, military schools, and the North Sea, they are not included in the statistics."

Sake finally finished reporting on all the combat-capable subordinates in the pirate group.

As for the members who are now scattered and working undercover in other pirate groups or the Navy/World Government, Sake does not know about them. Only a few people such as Reinhardt, Bratt, and Moser know about them.

"Brat, gather the artificial devil fruit army as soon as possible. They will then join the battle against the Blackbeard Pirates."

After thinking for a while, Reinhard continued to make arrangements: "Divide these seven pirate groups into seven divisions to form the Black Duke's fleet. After the meeting is over, let the captains of these seven pirate groups come to see me.

"

"Okay." Sake nodded and said.

"We must increase our efforts to continue to recruit pirates. We must reach at least twenty divisions and hang out the flag of the Black Duke Pirates. From now on, the waters of Music Island will belong to the pirates' power."

The seven divisions of the Black Duke Pirates have been deployed with a total of 5,078 pirates. However, this number is still a little less than that of the Four Emperors. Therefore, we must continue to recruit pirates in the new world. However, this

Reinhard is not worried. Now that the Black Duke Pirates have gained a strong reputation, there are many pirates who want to follow him.

"The formation of the Seven Arms is accelerating. We have no time to waste." Reinhard said towards Meister.

The four people currently ranked among the Seven Arms are Behemoth the Behemoth, Minotaur the Piranha Minotaur, Leviathan the Horse of Hell, and Coselops the Sea Shark. Four of them were previously in

The four pirates who performed well through the Colosseum in Arkham Seas, the new world of Bloody Ocean.

Meister replied in a deep voice: "I know, boss, there are still three people left in the Shichibukai. Pirates of a certain strength are required to be competent, so the progress of the formation is relatively slow."

"I know that strong pirates are not easy to recruit."

The work of the Seven Arms has been given full responsibility to Meester, so in the future it will be Meester who will lead the Seven Arms. Brat will be responsible for the expansion of the Artificial Devil Fruit Legion, and will also be the direct leader of the Artificial Devil Fruit Legion in the future.

Sake replied with some worry: "What about the World Government? After all, Redding is a member of the World Government, and if it openly hangs the flag of the Black Duke Pirates..."

"Even if we don't fly the flag of the Black Duke Pirates, the World Government will not let go of the Redding Kingdom. The World Government will not allow a country controlled by pirate forces to become a franchising country." Sitting on the other side of Reinhardt.

Mester spoke up and said that as the king of Retin, he had always been clear in his mind that from the moment Reinhard took action against the navy in Marinevando, he would immediately be in conflict with the World Government.

"Yes, so we need to quickly form the team to prevent the world government from launching an attack at any time." Reinhardt nodded.

"Boss, what should we do if the world government immediately attacks us?" Sake asked again.

"I predict that this will not be possible within the next two months." Reinhard was silent for a while and said.

However, seeing the doubts on other people's faces, he explained: "If nothing else happens, the Navy Marshal will definitely resign soon. At that time, there will be a fight within the Navy over the new round of Marshals. There will be no care in a short time."

Come on, we can use this time to defeat the Blackbeard Pirates in one fell swoop."

"Will the Navy's own people start a fight?" Qingjiu was stunned for a moment, and then fell silent thoughtfully. It seemed possible.

"Haha, the politics of the Navy and the World Government are far more complicated than we thought. Regarding the position of marshal, the Navy and the World Government should have different opinions."

"But we are not without allies."
