Here, compelling efforts to improve the critical temperature (T_c) of superconductors have been made through high-pressure application. Understanding the underlying mechanism behind such improvements is critically important; however, much remains unclear. Here we studied ortho-III YBa₂Cu₃O_6.73 (YBCO) using x-ray scattering under hydrostatic pressure (HP) up to ~6.0GPa. We found the reinforced oxygen order of YBCO under HP, revealing an oxygen rearrangement in the Cu-O layer, which evidently shows the charge-transfer phenomenon between the CuO₂ plane and Cu-O layer. Concurrently, we also observed no disorder-pinned charge-density-wave signature in CuO₂ plane under HP. This indicates that the oxygen rearrangement modifies the quenched disorder state in the CuO₂ plane. Using these results, we appropriately explain why pressure condition can achieve higher T_c compared with the optimal T_c under ambient pressure in YBa₂Cu₃O_6+x. As an implication of these results, finally we have discussed that the change in disorder could make it easier for YBa₂Cu₃O_6+x to undergo a transition to the nematic order under an external magnetic field.
