The Navy Was Wiped Out, and Their Name Rose to Fame

Boom! Boom! Loud cannon fire rang out, and shells were fired toward the warship. The sound gave one the feeling of a naval battle, but the warship's firepower was unusually suppressed.

The shells fired landed around the Lucky Goddess, but none hit its target.

Boom!

Meanwhile, the situation on the Marine warship was rather bleak. Shells rained down on the ships, and soon, the entire vessels were half-destroyed by the bombardment.

All around were the corpses and wreckage of naval personnel, and Captain Cran was completely bewildered. What had they encountered? What had happened?

In the very first scene, shells began landing on the warship, with only a few missing their mark and landing near the ship.

Why were the pirate ship's cannonballs so accurate?

Unlike the tragic situation on the Navy's side, the Night Pirates were filled with excitement, cheering joyfully as they watched their warships blasted apart, still smoking and on fire.

The powerful image of the navy in their minds gradually faded.

Teach sat in a chair on the ship, with Baccarat standing beside him. This was naturally because Baccarat had taken action, and luck was completely on the side of the Night Pirates, preventing the Navy's cannonballs from hitting the Lucky Goddess.

This is exactly Teach wanted. He was dissatisfied with the crew's natural fear of the Navy, so he needed a victory, a great victory, and victory after victory to shatter the Navy's powerful image in their minds. At the same time, he also wanted to establish the pirate crew's sense of honor and strengthen their sense of belonging to the pirate crew.

"Men, the navy's warships are useless now. Let's charge in and wipe out all the navy ships on board!" Teach shouted, and the pirates were already itching for a fight.

Cheerful figures brandishing weapons, the Lucky Goddess sped toward the immobilized Marine warship.

The navy personnel on the warships were in despair; half of the sailors were on board, and many of the remaining sailors were wounded.

"Are you done yet? What kind of pirate crew is this?" Captain Cran asked anxiously, holding a knife in his hand, as he looked at the officer who ran over, his face covered in soot and smoke.

"Captain Cran, we have no information about this pirate crew. It should be a newly formed pirate crew that hasn't been put on a bounty yet," the officer said to Captain Cran, sounding somewhat incredulous.

"What? This is a huge threat. We're finished. We must inform the branch about this pirate crew and have Spank deal with them." Captain Cran gripped his knife tightly and said calmly, "Notify them quickly! We can't let our losses be in vain!"

Seeing the somewhat stunned sergeant, Captain Cran was already prepared to die. Before he died, he would at least kill a few more pirates.

"Yes, Captain." Seeing Captain Cran's expression, the sergeant already knew what he was thinking. He gave a respectful salute and then took out a Den Den Mushi from his clothes. The Den Den Mushi was marked with the number 18.

"Hello! Is this Captain Cran? What's up?" Commander Spank, from the 18th Naval Division of the East China Sea, answered the Den Den Mushi.

"A formidable enemy, three skulls..." Before he could finish speaking, the Den Den Mushi seemed to freeze, then fell asleep and disconnected. "Hey! Speak up, what's wrong?" Spank's expression changed. He quickly turned the Den Den Mushi back on and tried to reconnect, but the Den Den Mushi didn't answer and didn't even respond.

Spank's expression changed; he had a bad feeling. He knew that in this situation, either the Den Den Mushi had been forcibly disconnected or it had been destroyed. However, in any case, Captain Cran's situation looked grim.

He took out a piece of white paper and wrote down the last remaining message from the Den Den Mushi. The words "Great Enemy, Three Skulls" kept echoing in Spank Spink's mind.

After a while, Spank's face turned extremely angry. He slammed his hand on the table with a loud "bang".

"Summon Captain Marica and Captain Daly, something big is happening," Spank relayed the message.

The entire Marine Branch only has three warships, one of which was sent by the Marine Headquarters to quickly eliminate pirates.

The direct loss of a warship is undoubtedly a huge blow, but at least he has found a reliable subordinate. He can already foresee Captain Cran's fate.

On the other side, the naval officer stood there dumbfounded, his mouth agape, unable to utter a word, wondering when the pirate had appeared before him.

A knife plunged directly into his heart. Standing before him was Nelson, a smile on his face. He used his ability to appear directly in front of these two high-ranking officers to prevent the news from leaking out, but it was too late. The message had already reached a portion of the Navy. Although it wasn't much, it still angered him. He slashed the Den Den Mushi that had fallen to the ground because he couldn't hold it anymore.

Seeing that the officer was not quite dead, he pulled out the knife with a "whoosh" and plunged it into the officer's body once more.

Seeing this, Cran angrily raised his knife to slash at Nelson. However, just as he was about to strike, Cran suddenly felt a dark figure appear beside him, and then a palm struck him directly.

Cran's body flew out like a kite with a broken string, crashing directly into the wall of the warship.

He smashed a hole in the wall and collapsed to the ground, but he was not dead yet. He slowly raised his head, swallowed a mouthful of blood, and stared at the figure who had almost killed him with a single blow.

It was a Mink Tribe that looked like White Lion, with terrifying power. He was already somewhat regretful, regretting that he had shared this information with the Marine Branch. They had only sent two people, but their strength was extremely powerful. The aura emanating from this Mink Tribe was not as strong as that of Major Spank.

In other words, this Mink Tribe is more powerful than Spank. Keep in mind that Spank was sent from Marine Headquarters. In order to suppress the riotous seas, control the tides, and strengthen the naval power of the four seas, the commander of each Marine Branch is sent from Marine Headquarters, and Spank is one of them.

He knew Spank's temperament; he would definitely seek revenge. But if that happened, they would be in danger. This pirate crew was terrifying.

However, he had no time left. Gari's double-edged dagger flashed and took Cran's life.

The navy's morale had completely collapsed, and they were suffering heavy losses. Even their leader, their commander, had been killed.

The battle began, Lucky Goddess was already docked on top of the warship. One by one, the pirates excitedly grabbed their weapons and rushed onto the warship.

Faced with the Night Pirates, the demoralized Marines were no match for them. Soon, they were all killed, leaving no survivors.

"Go! Men, empty this Marine warship of anything useful!" Teach's words excited them all, and they rushed into the warship. Why did they follow Teach as pirates? Wasn't it for treasure?

"Captain, we're too late. The information has been leaked." Nelson frowned and walked to Teach's side.

"It's alright, we were prepared for this, weren't we?" Teach didn't care at all. What kind of pirate wouldn't be a pirate if they didn't have a bounty on their head?

"Judging from what's on board, this should be a warship from the 18th Naval Division." Seeing that Teach didn't seem to care, Nelson felt relieved.

"So, the navy will be coming to bother us soon. Come on, let's announce our existence to the sea! Hahahaha!" Teach laughed excitedly.

The other cadres all laughed excitedly.

Soon, everything useful on the entire Marine warship was taken, and all the crew members returned laden with spoils. This battle was undoubtedly a great victory, with no losses whatsoever. Only three pirates were injured, but the impact was minor; they would recover in a few days.

The Lucky Goddess departed the warship and left the area.

A few hours later, a warship sailed in this direction and spotted the two-thirds-submerged warship in the distance. The person who came was none other than Captain Spank of the Eighteenth Branch, followed by Captain Marica and Captain Dali.

Once aboard the warship, everyone's faces were grim. The entire warship had been annihilated, and most of their comrades' bodies were submerged in the water. Beside the warship, there were some piranhas that had been lured in, enjoying their meal.

"Damn it, who is it?" Spank was furious, clenching his fists tightly. "What do those three skulls represent?"

"Three pirate crews? Only a force like that could have killed the entire Cran warship," Malik said, frowning.

"No, the enemy is probably referring to a pirate crew, or rather, an unnamed pirate crew. Since we don't know their name, we can only describe their flag. This crew's flag should have three skulls on it," Dali, also a captain, calmly analyzed.

"No matter what, the murderer is definitely in this area. Notify the other Marine Branch around here to keep a close eye on any pirate crews connected to the three skulls. We must avenge Captain Cran," Spank said through gritted teeth.

Just as Teach had predicted, the Eighteenth Naval Division had their eyes on them.

During their voyage across the seas, they stopped at several islands. With both pirates and the navy being very active at seas, the Night Pirates made a name for themselves in just one month, defeating five pirate crews and two Marine warship, annihilating them all without leaving any survivors.

As a result, the number of ordinary crew members in the Night Pirates doubled, reaching one hundred.

With its unique pirate flag featuring three skulls, the 18th Marine Division quickly set its sights on the Night Pirates.

"That Night Pirates are incredibly arrogant!" Spank of the 18th Marine Division roared. "It's confirmed, they're the ones who killed Captain Cran."

"Yes, but the Night Pirates are not to be trifled with. Two more captains have died at their hands. In addition, five other pirate crews have also been wiped out by the Night Pirates. One of the crews' captains had a bounty of seventeen million," Dali said, frowning.

"It's been investigated. The Night Pirates have a captain named Wallace, who was originally a lone pirate with a bounty of 28 million Beli on the Grand Line. He's also a Devil Fruit user. We don't know how he ended up in the East Blue. But, to be able to subdue a pirate like that, the captain of the Night Pirates is clearly much stronger." Dali reminded him, not wanting Spank to act too impulsively.

Spank naturally understood what he meant and nodded. "Don't worry, I will personally take action this time, and I will also join forces with the 20th and Branch 22 to encircle and annihilate the Night Pirates." Spank was very confident. The commander of the 20th branch, Sean, and the commander of the Branch 22, Robert, like him, came from the Marine Headquarters.

Arriving at the four seas, besides eliminating pirates, the more important purpose is to gain prestige and accumulate merits for future advancement. With their strength and potential, they will naturally stay on the Grand Line in the future.

Furthermore, the two warships destroyed by the Night Pirates were from the 20th and 22nd Marine Divisions of the Navy.

"Hahaha! Only a bounty of forty million Beli?" Teach laughed as he looked at his bounty poster, shaking his head, seemingly somewhat dissatisfied.

This drew praise from the pirates below, who remarked, "As expected of Teach, he doesn't even care about a bounty of 40 million Beli."

"Captain, you haven't lifted a finger these past few days. A bounty of forty million is already pretty good," Baccarat said with a helpless smile, rubbing her forehead.

"And this is already the highest bounty in the East China Sea."

"Only 40 million Beli? The Navy is about to take action against us, and my bounty will definitely increase a lot then." Teach tossed the bounty poster aside, somewhat disdainfully.

The wanted poster didn't even have a name or code name, and the photo on it was just a picture of Teach's profile; it wasn't even worth collecting.

"Forget about the navy, let's continue towards the Boka Boka Kingdom. The atmosphere on the ship isn't lively enough, I'll find a musician another day." Teach sat on his throne, his hand resting on the armrest, his index finger tapping incessantly on the armrest, his legs crossed, his gaze fixed on the sea.

The Night Pirates are now the most famous and powerful pirate crew in this sea area. Their impressive record speaks for itself. While other pirates would run away the moment they encounter Marine warship, the Night Pirates are not afraid at all. So far, they have destroyed three Marine warship and killed three Navy lieutenants.

Sakhalin Island, an ordinary island, was now teeming with pirates and bounty hunters. Standing at the island's harbor, their excited and greedy gazes fell upon the distant sea. They had received advance notice, or rather, based on the Night Pirates' route, they had deduced that the Night Pirates would be coming to Sakhalin Island.

Some of them were after Teach and his crew's bounty; the Night Pirates' total bounty now exceeded 100 million, a fortune they could hardly imagine.

Others are after fame. After all, the Night Pirates only have a little over a hundred people on board, while other pirate crews have hundreds. If they defeat the Night Pirates, they will definitely become famous, and their bounties will increase significantly.
