Lin Muxue sighed in relief, "It's a good thing they didn't compromise. They're quite arrogant, aren't they? Where does their confidence come from? Did Ye Yu give it to them? Even though his Conqueror's Haki is unimaginably strong, causing the Rakshasa and Sandstorm Pirate Crews to lose a significant number of their combatants, their mid and high-tier forces are still intact. That's what really matters."
Li Cang nodded, "Exactly, so there's going to be quite a show. And Ye Yu will definitely be the primary target."
Lin Muxue naturally thought the same, leaning back on the couch, munching on sunflower seeds while watching the live broadcast.
At that moment, the Rakshasa Pirates and the Sandstorm Pirates were approaching the area. Suddenly, an intelligence crew member hurried over.
"Captain, good news!"
This startled both Ye Ming and Sha La.
"What is it?"
"Captain, this news will definitely panic the Dominant Feather Pirate Crew, maybe even make them leave without daring to claim any territory."
"Oh?"
Both Ye Ming and Sha La were surprised.
After all, they had already refused to hand over their original territory to the Dominant Feather Pirate Crew, insisting on fighting. Yet, this news could make them leave immediately?
This naturally piqued their interest, as they didn't want to engage in battle.
Ye Ming asked, "Quick, what's the news?"
"The news is that the Overlord and Flying Pirates have already been secretly on the move. Many people from cities and islands along the way have seen the Flying and Overlord Pirates. Their sailing routes are all heading towards this city, so it's certain they want to take advantage of the situation to deal with Ye Yu. Then, when the Dominant Feather Pirate Crew is about to be defeated, they'll swoop in to recruit their members."
Ye Ming realized, "So that's how it is. If that's the case, then it's indeed very good."
Sha La added, "They're coming quietly, obviously not just wanting to recruit from the Dominant Feather Pirate Crew but also from us. They must know that Ye Yu's Conqueror's Haki has stunned many of our people, so they think our casualties will be significant this time. When they arrive, they'll definitely try to recruit our members. After all, their original strength is greater than ours now; they are a very powerful pirate crew."
Ye Ming was pleased, "This news is very timely. Let the PR department spread it immediately."
"Captain, it's already trending on some platforms, but it was quickly taken down. Clearly, the Flying and Overlord Pirates are controlling it."
"They must be controlling it. Hurry and promote it vigorously."
Soon, the news that the Flying and Overlord Pirates were secretly on their way could no longer be hidden.
It trended: the Flying and Overlord Pirates were on their way, aiming to reap the benefits.
This surprised many.
"They've seized the opportunity well."
"Originally, we thought it would be fifteen days later."
"But now it's known."
"The Dominant Feather Pirate Crew definitely won't choose to fight now."
...
The news spread instantly.
At that moment, on the high seas, the Overlord Pirates' main ship was sailing, with only this one vessel. Onboard were all high-tier, elite combatants.
The other forces were guarding their base, and the auxiliary ships were still under construction. One main ship couldn't accommodate everyone.
The original plan to deal with the Dominant Feather Pirate Crew in fifteen days was to wait for some auxiliary ships to be built, allowing the entire crew to mobilize and crush the Dominant Feather Pirate Crew.
They could definitely crush them, especially since they were allied with the Flying Pirates.
But now, with the opportunity at hand, the Dominant Feather Pirate Crew was about to engage in battle with the Rakshasa and Sandstorm Pirate Crews. They felt there was no need to wait fifteen days; they could take advantage of the situation right now and reap the benefits.
After the battle, both sides would undoubtedly suffer losses, making it the perfect time to recruit and poach members.
Song Ling was initially very pleased because Ye Yu's Conqueror's Haki had knocked out too many combatants. This meant that once the battle began, the casualties of the Sandstorm and Rakshasa Pirate Crews would increase, making it even easier to poach their members.
However, her joy didn't last long. Her expression turned grim, her eyes red with anger.
This made the crew members tremble with fear, their hearts pounding in terror.
"The Captain is furious."
Song Ling's face was dark: "Damn it, this way they definitely won't fight, especially the Dominant Feather Pirate Crew."
At this moment, one of the executives of the Overlord Pirates, Zhao Ke, looked grave. He was one of the four great generals of the Overlord Pirates and an Ability User of the Biscuit Fruit.
"The Dominant Feather Pirate Crew must have found out. They won't choose to fight the other side, knowing we're on our way."
The other crew members also knew this was the case, sighing inwardly. Their plan to play the role of the opportunist had failed.
This was why Song Ling was so angry, but she still gave the order.
"Continue sailing and keep an eye on the live broadcast. See what the Dominant Feather Pirate Crew decides. If they don't fight, then we'll leave."
Although she said this, everyone felt in their hearts that the battle wouldn't happen, and the Dominant Feather Pirate Crew would back down.
At the same time, the Flying Pirates had the same reaction as the Overlord Pirates.
The Captain of the Flying Pirates, Jin Mo, an Ability User of the Float-Float Fruit, gritted his teeth in frustration.
"Damn it, we've been discovered."
"Captain, it seems our plan to take advantage of the situation has failed."
They could only continue to monitor the live broadcast.
Meanwhile, Lin Muxue naturally knew about it. Although she wasn't involved, she was even more furious than Song Ling and Jin Mo.
"Damn it! These two pirate crews are so stupid. They've been discovered, so the Dominant Feather Pirate Crew won't engage in battle with the Rakshasa and Sandstorm Pirate Crews. They'll just leave."
Li Cang also felt it was a pity, sighing: "Ah, as long as they're not fools and don't want to die, they'll choose not to fight and leave. They won't risk mutual destruction and let the Flying and Overlord Pirates take advantage later."
Although they were certain, they still kept a close eye on the live broadcast.
At this moment, Bei Haimi had initially planned to make a quick exit, but then Ye Ming's voice came through his earpiece.
Bei Haimi immediately knew about the trending news and relaxed, deciding not to leave. Instead, he became even more arrogant.
"Captain, I've got it. You all don't need to come. Leave it to me. They'll all leave in defeat."
Bei Haimi looked at Xia Ling and the others, feeling completely at ease.
"You should know by now, right? If not, check the trending news."
At this point, Xia Ling and Zhao Yan'er looked grave, naturally aware of the situation.
The executives and all the crew members felt the same, their hearts sinking as they realized this battle was unlikely to happen.
Sun Long frowned: "I was looking forward to showing off my skills, but these two pirate crews wanted to ambush us."
Zhou Xing sighed: "Even if we could defeat the Rakshasa and Sandstorm Pirate Crews and take this city, we would still suffer heavy losses. Facing the Overlord and Flying Pirates, even if they didn't bring their full strength, we wouldn't stand a chance."
Soon, they all understood the situation clearly.
Bei Haimi laughed and said, "It seems you all understand very well, so this battle is impossible to happen."
Xia Ling spoke in a serious tone, "You don't wish for it to happen either. So, return our original territory to us, and we'll let bygones be bygones, settling the matter peacefully."
Bei Haimi immediately burst into laughter, "Hahaha, you're dreaming!"
