Seeing the news about Roger, Vilin imdiately understood.
Rocks was probably looking to see if he could fish in troubled waters!
Thinking of Roger's knack for causing chaos, Vilin had no doubt the New World was about to be swept up in another storm.
"Looks like I need to prepare too."
After receiving this news, Vilin and his group lost interest in continuing their stroll and returned straight ho.
Inside a spacious room in the castle, Vilin and Shakky were discussing matters.
"Shakky, notify all the executives of the Aitrias Pirates to gather here tomorrow." "I have sothing important to announce."
"Got it!"
Shakky pursed her lips toward Vilin.
Seeing her like this, Vilin instantly understood what she ant. He wrapped his arm around her waist and kissed her sexy lips.
Only after Shakky began to struggle for breath did Vilin finally release her.
After resting in Vilin's arms for a while, Shakky walked out the door with flushed cheeks, licking her lips.
Seeing Shakky leave, Vilin quickly fell into thought.
First of all, he would not bring the entire Aitrias Pirates crew to join this war.
He was sowhat conflicted about who to take. But one thing was certain — he needed to leave so strong crew mbers to guard Cake Island.
Who to bring?
After careful consideration, Vilin quickly made his choices.
He planned to leave Hu Yue and Haidi — currently the strongest combatants in the Aitrias Pirates — here to protect Cake Island.
In the end, Vilin decided to take Linlin, Annie, Fiona, Shana, Fati, Annie, Elria, Hathaway, and ten elite crew mbers to rendezvous with the Rocks Pirates.
As for Rouge, Olvia, Aurora, Caitlin, Otohi, Hu Yue, Hu Xue, Haidi, Xiao Wu, Jessica, Evelyn, head maid Lilith, deputy head maid, Shirley, Ellie, and the remaining Aitrias crew — they would stay behind to defend Cake Island.
If necessary, they could abandon the island and evacuate imdiately.
After making his decision, Vilin headed toward Olvia's room.
Arriving at Olvia's room, Vilin found Rouge and Aurora were also there. This ant Vilin had to work a little harder.
The next day, at noon.
Inside a conference room in the central castle on Cake Island.
All executives of the Aitrias Pirates had assembled here.
Seeing the puzzled looks on everyone's faces, Vilin announced to them:
"Family!"
"I have an important announcent."
"We are about to join a massive war!"
"I will select so executives to co with and rendezvous with Rocks and the others!"
Hearing that a war was coming, all mbers of Vilin's family showed grave expressions — they had already guessed the target.
But thinking of Vilin's overwhelming strength, they soon relaxed.
After everyone finished discussing, Vilin spoke again:
"As for who I'm taking, I decided last night."
With that, Vilin passed around a slip of paper.
When everyone finished reading the list, so executives imdiately showed disappointed expressions — they saw their nas were left behind to guard Cake Island.
Those whose nas appeared on the list, like Fiona and Shana, had excited looks on their pretty faces.
"Great!" "I can fight powerful enemies again!"
Thinking of the thrilling battle scenes ahead, Fiona's pretty face flushed red. Her slender jade fingers unconsciously stroked the hilt of the sword at her waist.
Her Ink Bamboo Sword had already begun shifting toward black. This was the result of Fiona nurturing it with her own Haki every day.
She was determined to refine this Ink Bamboo into a black blade.
Shana also beca excited. After Vilin tempered her physique daily, her physical condition had beco extrely strong.
This made her look forward to fighting even stronger opponents.
Finally, after the eting ended, Vilin invited all family mbers to a grand banquet together.
That night, all Aitrias Pirates crew mbers plunged into revelry — until everyone was dead drunk, and the banquet finally concluded.
In the end, they were all carried back to their rooms by the Aitrias maids.
That's right — Vilin had built a small villa for every Aitrias Pirates crew mber inside the castle.
The next day, after hugging all his won and crew mbers, Vilin led the selected mbers under everyone's watchful eyes toward the Flying Bird docked at Cake Island's port.
Stepping onto the deck of the Flying Bird, the Aitrias Pirates couldn't help touching the railings.
This ship held too many wonderful mories for them.
Walking to the bow, Vilin nostalgically stroked the bird-head-shaped prow. The Flying Bird seed to sense Vilin's feelings and trembled slightly with excitent.
It was conveying its emotions in its own way. Vilin's Observation Haki quickly picked up on the ship's feelings.
"A ship spirit?"
Vilin couldn't help stroking the bird-head prow again. The long-lost heat of battle surged through him once more.
This ti he didn't have Euros use the Float-Float Fruit's power. Instead, he raised his hand and let out a bold laugh.
"Hahahahaha!" "Aitrias Pirates — set sail!"
As Vilin's words fell, cheers instantly erupted across the Flying Bird.
"Long live the Aitrias Pirates!"
Seeing the excited crowd, the remaining crew at the port shed emotional tears.
"Safe journey, Captain!" "Long live the Aitrias Pirates!"
Under Elria's piloting and Sophia's command, the Flying Bird quickly sailed away from the port amid the farewell cheers of the remaining crew, charging into the open sea.
Looking at Cake Island disappearing behind them, Vilin showed a reluctant expression in his eyes.
Annie, standing beside Vilin, saw this and imdiately linked arms with him.
"You still have by your side!"
Vilin wrapped his arm around Annie's slim waist.
"That's right."
"Ooooh! So sour!"
Seeing Vilin and Annie being so lovey-dovey, Shakky couldn't stand it anymore and flipped them off.
"Hahahaha! Sour enough for you?"
Vilin directly hugged both of them and laughed out loud.
Central New World, on an unknown island.
At this mont, a flag bearing the Rocks Pirates emblem was flying high here.
