# Chapter 812: Strong Alliance
In just one month, relying on the rallying power brought by Byrnndi World's powerful battle record, the number of Byrnndi Pirates members has swelled to a full five thousand.
Such military strength is enough to rank among the strongest in the New World.
The various great pirates also seemed to have great expectations for what Byrnndi World would do.
Not only did they not stop him, but they secretly promoted the growth of the Byrnndi Pirates.
The entire New World's public opinion leaned towards Byrnndi World.
Through numerous news reports and their brainwashing propaganda, it seemed Byrnndi World had become the most powerful competitor threatening "Golden Lion" Shiki's New World hegemony.
As for all this, the Flying Pirates offered no explanation.
Furthermore, Byrnndi World was originally a great pirate of legend, and the name "World Destroyer" was practically known to everyone.
Even when he was imprisoned in Impel Down, legends about him still circulated on The Great Sea.
Especially in the West Blue, it reached the terrifying degree of making children stop crying.
Coupled with the passage of time wearing down many things, pirates in recent years didn't understand Byrnndi World, so they flocked to join the Byrnndi Pirates.
Not just anyone could join a Top-Tier Pirate Crew in the New World.
Even to gain a foothold in the New World and receive their protection, one needed to exhibit their own value.
Now that a great pirate of legend who "doesn't stick to one pattern to recruit talent" had appeared, how could they not feel excited?
At least, in the eyes of many, Byrnndi World was truly planning the reconstruction of the Byrnndi Pirates.
Recruiting cannon fodder was not wrong.
After all, only the dead were cannon fodder.
Those who ultimately survived would be the true elites, the real crewmates belonging to the Byrnndi Pirates.
This method of using war for "slimming down" had been adopted by Major Top Powers.
Unrestricted expansion of military strength, followed by selecting the true elites through war.
The number of pirates a Pirate Crew could support was also limited.
If it exceeded the limit, then as time flowed, it would naturally collapse.
Pirates go to sea for interests and submit; if they cannot get what they want, they will naturally leave and abandon the Pirate Crew.
This situation had occurred in many pirate crews.
However, most of those who left were inconspicuous ordinary pirates, and even if they left, their names wouldn't be remembered.
However, they wouldn't have thought that Byrnndi World truly regarded all of them as cannon fodder.
How many would survive the upcoming war depended on their own luck.
Because now, he no longer trusted other crewmates.
Not only were they weak, but they would only be a burden to him.
After experiencing a betrayal, Byrnndi World saw everyone as a spy from the World Government.
How much he used to trust his companions, willing to entrust his back to them.
And now, Byrnndi World didn't trust anyone except for the few remaining core crew members.
He had become another extreme.
"It seems you agree, Shiki!"
Byrnndi World wore a gray pirate coat, exhibiting even more of a king's aura compared to before.
A person's aura changes with the change in their identity.
The current Byrnndi World was no longer the leader of a small team of only six people.
Such a small scale couldn't even be considered a pirate crew.
And now, he was the leader of a five-thousand-strong Pirate Army.
The former Byrnndi World commanded even more, larger, and fiercer military strength.
He was merely reclaiming what he once possessed.
"Jihahahaha! That's truly a good plan, rest assured, this Old Man will fully cooperate with you."
On the other side of the Den Den Mushi, "Golden Lion" Shiki laughed excitedly.
"However, you must remember this favor."
For Shiki, Byrnndi World was indispensable for the future war against the World Government.
Because of World's ability, it was highly likely he could make the original destructive power of the Ancient Weapon even stronger.
And "Golden Lion" Shiki himself also had great expectation for the power of the Secret Weapon in Byrnndi World's hands.
He also knew that the rumors that suddenly appeared on The Great Sea recently were true, and that Byrnndi World had likely obtained it.
This could be guessed from the action plan Byrnndi World told him.
World's instructions to him were simple: just charge into the Battlefield when the World Government's strength was heavily damaged.
As for how to heavily damage the World Government, it would naturally be with the Secret Weapon in World's hands.
"Rest assured, if this Old Man is still alive."
Even though he had prepared a backup plan, he couldn't guarantee he wouldn't die on the Battlefield in the future.
The Den Den Mushi hung up.
World's heart was filled with confidence.
His shared target with "Golden Lion" Shiki prompted their strong alliance.
Meanwhile, with the Flying Pirates.
.
.
The spacious and magnificent palace, having been frequently maintained by Reinhard, appeared spotless.
For him, it was merely a matter of a single thought.
By "Golden Lion" Shiki's side at this moment stood not only his two right-hand men, "Heavenly King" Reinhard and "Titan" Atlas.
Below them were numerous powerful combatants such as "Breath of the Storm" Goenitz, "Tyrant" Grado, "Godspeed" Xia Er, "Heavenly Path" Pain, and "Mist" Sasmu.
Among them also included the newly joined Shiryu and "Giant Battleship" San Juan Wolf of the Flying Pirates.
The various fleet captains and high-end combat power of the Flying Pirates were gathered together.
Such a massive lineup was truly worthy of being called the "Strongest Pirate Crew".
It was currently nighttime.
"Golden Lion" Shiki had gathered all of them under the cover of night.
How to avoid the informants the World Government had planted within the Flying Pirates, and bring the strongmen scattered across the vast territory of the Flying Pirates to the Base Camp.
The Flying Pirates already had some experience.
Because they had secretly attempted the same operation many times over the years.
In the beginning, they were discovered by the World Government and the Marines several times.
Whether the World Government and the Marines had discovered them, Shiki could also judge based on the intelligence sent by the spies he had planted within Marine Internal Affairs.
The deployment of military strength, whether an emergency meeting was convened?
And Reinhard was also constantly making adjustments and had found quite a few spies the World Government had planted in the Flying Pirates.
This secret gathering had clearly avoided the eyes of the World Government and the Marines.
However, by daytime, the World Government and the Marines would notice that the Flying Pirates had begun their operation.
This amount of time was already enough for them.
The Byrnndi Pirates would then directly attack the G-1 Fortress under the cover of night.
By the time they arrived at G-1 Fortress, it would be daytime.
At that time, the World Government and the Marines would learn the news of a large number of strongmen from the Flying Pirates disappearing.
They would inevitably guess that the Flying Pirates would intervene in this operation.
More powerful combatants would be urgently mobilized, and their strategic plan would be disrupted.
Since it was a secret operation, the Flying Pirates only dispatched high-end combat power.
This made the operation more efficient.
Even if problems arose, they could evacuate at any time.
After all, these powerful combatants under their command were the treasures that allowed the Flying Pirates to stand on the Great Sea and possess such a high status.
"This time, we will cooperate with that guy World's operation."
"However, I need a few people to go to Marine Headquarters and cause a big commotion there."
"Many of the Marines' combat strength are in the Four Seas and cannot be temporarily recalled. The news of the Byrnndi Pirates, and our involvement, being exposed will inevitably lead to Marine Headquarters becoming even more empty."
"This is our opportunity."
"Who among you wants to go?"
"Golden Lion" Shiki would naturally not simply follow that guy Byrnndi World's operation; he also had his own plan.
According to the Byrnndi Pirates' action plan, he saw that Marine Headquarters would be very weak.
This mission was suitable for members with flight ability.
It was clear that only a few members could participate.
They exchanged glances.
On the surface, Marine Headquarters was very empty, but without specific intelligence, no one could guarantee it.
Without sufficient strength, charging into Marine Headquarters might lead to life danger.
In comparison, being by Shiki's side was clearly safer, and there were many companions who could look out for each other.
Goenitz remained silent; he actually didn't have much interest in the Marines.
The World Government was also Ignis's target, and his target as well.
However, the Marines were, after all, a part of the World Government.
Seeing that no one stepped forward, Goenitz, as one of "Golden Lion" Shiki's supporters, took a small step forward.
The gale swirling around him represented his will.
"Then count me in." Following closely behind was "Heavenly Path" Pain.
Seeing the two of them step forward, "Golden Lion" Shiki nodded in satisfaction.
"If you encounter an enemy that is difficult to handle, you can evacuate immediately."
