Chapter 264: Shadows in Motion
"Let's go."
Mio spoke calmly as he slowly stood up and made his way toward the shore.
At the port, the pitch-black Black Glory was docked. Over the past two years, the ship had undergone significant modifications—designed to mimic the legendary weapon Pluto in power and function.
The gathered pirates immediately took notice of Mio's arrival, their faces filled with excitement.
Araki stepped forward and asked respectfully, "Lord Black Crow, are you heading out to sea?"
"Yes," Mio replied with a nod. Then, turning to Baifeng, he ordered, "Go and gather everyone."
He turned back to Araki and gave another command. "You'll remain here to guard Crow Island. While you're at it, recruit promising new members and gather information on Charlotte and the others."
"Understood!" Araki responded with a flash of excitement in his eyes. So, Lord Mio was finally preparing to make his move toward the throne. Araki had believed for two years now that Mio possessed the strength to become an emperor. And at last, the time had come.
With that, Araki turned and hurried away.
Before long...
At the port, Erica and the others arrived one after another.
