West Blue Intelligence

In a short time, a second warship appeared, Gari descended from the sky, wielding his Hunting Knife, beginning a bloody hunt.

Inside the third warship, an intense heat emanated from the ship. A crimson light, like that of the sun, shone from its surface. Heat can be conducted, and with no progress in developing the Steel-Steel Fruit, Wallace was going further and further down the path of molten steel.

The heat generated by the extreme burst is enough to melt steel.

Due to the excessively high temperature, the interior deck began to burn. This type of Marine warship is not made of steel; it is only covered with a layer of steel on the outside, while the interior is still made of wood. Only the navy's top-tier warships are made of pure steel, which is more expensive, though not by much. The rare woods used to build these warships are also not cheap.

"Molten Steel Fist!" Wallace unleashed a punch, sending up a wave of heat. Screams erupted from the warship, and the crew quickly fell lifeless.

Destroying a warship takes only a few minutes. They don't want to be chased by the navy, so they show no mercy and spare no effort, making their killing highly efficient.

Gari and Wallace returned quickly. "Let's go, everyone, let's go up Reverse Mountain!" Teach ordered, and the three pirate ships headed towards the entrance of Reverse Mountain.

For some, this was their first time experiencing the dangers of Reverse Mountain, and since it was nighttime, they were quite nervous. The three pirate ships sailed one after the other.

Sailing upstream against the current, "Everyone hold on tight! Helmsman, get ready! Maintain control of the direction and avoid hitting the rock walls on either side!"

"Wallace, make it brighter." Wallace was like an artificial sun, shining with a bright reddish-gold light, illuminating the way ahead. However, this also had some side effects, making the air extremely hot.

"Not good!" Suddenly, the Steel Ship behind them trembled, the helmsman lost his grip on the rudder, and the entire pirate ship veered to the left.

Everyone was startled. The rock wall on the left was closing in, and it seemed too late to turn around.

"Watch this!" Kaguya jumped directly onto the ship's Dragon Bone. "Bone Tree!" As Kaguya stretched out her right hand, her left hand gripped the handrail tightly, "Crack! Crack!"

White bone grew continuously along Kaguya's arm, and in a short time, it turned into a tree made of bones.

The sturdy branches and trunks pressed directly against the rock face, preventing the Steel Ship from veering further to the left. At this moment, the helmsman also gripped the rudder firmly, veered to the right, and returned the ship to its original course.

That was extremely dangerous.

Continuing upstream, following the ocean current.

Meanwhile, at the entrance to Reverse Mountain, a fleet led by a top-tier warship arrived late once again, only to find a warship half-submerged in the sea, still engulfed in flames, an empty warship, and another filled with corpses.

They were too late again, allowing the Night Pirates to escape.

"The Night Pirates should head to the Grand Line," a lieutenant colonel said, looking at the silent Brom.

"They got away again."

A group of officers were discussing the Night Pirates. For some reason, they seemed to breathe a sigh of relief. They really didn't want to face the Night Pirates were gone, and they could finally relax.

Brom, lost in thought, let out a soft sigh. Unbeknownst to the others, his fists clenched tightly under the table, his nails digging deep into the flesh of his palms, blood dripping from his knuckles.

Unlike the others, he had no intention of giving up. He used the entire East Blue Navy's strength, but still failed to capture the Night Pirates and let them escape and leave the East Blue. It's conceivable that this news will soon be exposed, and then negative public opinion will fall on him again.

"Hmph!" Brom stood up abruptly and left the conference room, silencing the room.

Meanwhile, the Night Pirates returned to the familiar summit of Reverse Mountain, where four waterways appeared ahead.

This familiar place—the last time we came here, there were fewer than ten people on the ship, but now, the entire pirate crew has more than six hundred people.

"Let's go, West Blue!" Along each waterway, to guide those who pass through, the locations that will be reached by traversing the waterway are carved on the rock walls beside it.

These wall carvings are very old, and there is no record of how they were formed.

A new journey, new oceans—everything is filled with anticipation and uncertainty.

"Brom, this isn't something you can just quit on a whim!" Fleet Marshal Sora roared into the Den Den Mushi at Marine Headquarters.

"I don't care, Kong, send someone else. I don't want the title of Governor of the East Blue anymore," Brom said calmly. He had made up his mind. "The Night Pirates, I will capture them. They have brought me such humiliation."

Brom gritted his teeth and said, "Besides, their potential is visible; we can't let them grow."

"No means no. The Night Pirates will have others to deal with them. You should stay and guard the East Blue." Kong was very firm. "The Navy has its rules, and you can't just do whatever you want."

Click! The Den Den Mushi was immediately disconnected.

Kong Jian gritted his teeth. He knew that Brom was keeping a close eye on the Night Pirates and was naturally also paying attention to news from the East Blue, especially after discovering that Teach had once been a member of the Whitebeard Pirates. He could feel Teach's spirit in daring to stand on his own.

Therefore, there is significantly more attention being paid to the Night Pirates than before.

"Forget it, let him go. What Brom said makes sense, and this is also a knot in his heart. Let's send another Vice Admiral to guard the East Sea." Crane sighed. They all knew Brom's personality; once he made up his mind about something, he wouldn't give up.

Moreover, the Night Pirates had a huge impact on Brom.

"Alright, Crane, I heard you're going to the North Sea." Sora nodded, then turned to Crane and asked.

"Yes, that guy's thinking is dangerous. I'm going to catch him myself," Crane said.

"Okay, then I'll leave it to you." Of course, Kong knew who the person He was talking about was. That guy with a special identity was very troublesome. The World Government had specifically requested that he be captured alive. You know, killing someone and capturing someone alive are very different in difficulty. According to their information, that group had become one of the kings of the North Blue underworld and was developing very rapidly.

"Heavenly Yaksha" Doflamingo.

"Before that, help me finalize the World Military Draft plan. Sengoku has returned from the South China Sea and needs to get to the New World as soon as possible. Otherwise, the Navy really won't be able to hold on. Garp and Zephyr are both stationed in the New World."

"Does this mean the Navy is really going to be driven out of the New World?" Sora was somewhat unwilling. If they were driven out of the New World, the Navy would truly lose face.

"See? World Military Draft is a must. The Navy's strength is somewhat weaker compared to the pirates, and those in power will agree. They need the Navy to maintain the stability of the seas." Tsuru saw things clearly, but he was also well aware of the situation in the New World —it was truly terrible.

Over the years, most of the Navy's bases built in the New World have been captured by pirates, resulting in heavy casualties.

The sea is in turmoil, and the number of pirates is constantly increasing. Even if there are any losses, the overall number will be quickly replenished.

The navy is constantly losing strength and must World Military Draft to expand its forces.

"If it really doesn't work out, we'll have no choice but to withdraw from the New World." Tsuru had already considered this, but it would be a huge blow to the Navy's reputation, and others wouldn't agree. They hadn't reached the point where they really couldn't sustain it yet.

Marine Garp the Hero, three fully-developed Logia Devil Fruit User, former Admiral Black Arm Zephyr) who was pulled out of the Naval Academy, and other high-ranking Marine Vice Admiral, and other powerful figures.

Next, Admiral Sengoku, who has returned from a mission in the South China Sea, will also return to the New World.

Today, the navy's focus remains in the New World, not on the four seas.

However, the power of pirates is much greater than in the original work. The Beasts Pirates, which rose to prominence earlier, Flying Pirates, which still maintain their peak, are still the largest forces in the New World, along with the rise of other pirates.

The pressure on the navy is greater than before.

On the other side, Brom, draped in the Justice Coat, said, "Back in Loguetown, everyone get some rest for the night. We'll set off for the Grand Line tomorrow."

"What? Vice Admiral Brom, what are you going to the Grand Line for?" Brom's words surprised them all.

"Go capture the Night Pirates." Brom won't give up until he captures the Night Pirates.

"But what about the East China Sea?"

"All Marine Branch, return to your assigned sea areas. Soon, headquarters will send new, stronger individuals to replace me," Brom said, looking at his subordinates.

Having crossed the Reverse Mountain, the Night Pirates finally arrived at the West Blue. The West Blue is considered a relatively powerful sea among the four seas, ranking second in overall pirate strength, with the North Blue being the first.

One of its distinctive features is the Mafia. Of course, the Mafia isn't only found in the West Blue, but in the West Blue, its power is immense, with numerous Mafia branches of varying sizes influencing every aspect of West Blue.

Teach came to the West Blue mainly to find someone, his navigator and diplomat.

However, Teach had no idea where he was.

However, there are many ways to find someone on this vast ocean. Teach took out a Den Den Mushi (a Den Den Mushi), which was still encrypted at the time. Teach dialed a number, and the Den Den Mushi rang quickly.

"Yo! Teach, what's up?" On the other end of the Den Den Mushi was Shakky, the intelligence chief, who was smiling as she spoke to the Den Den Mushi. She was curious as to what Teach wanted to see her about.

"Find someone for me," Teach said with a smile to the Den Den Mushi.

"Who?"

"A man named Lafitte."

"Is that all the information you have?" Shakky asked. Who is this person? Teach wants to find him, and if you only have a name, finding a person is extremely difficult; it's undoubtedly a huge undertaking.

"Born in the West Blue, only seventeen or eighteen years old now, that's all," Teach smiled.

"Alright then, that narrows down the options considerably. The one you've chosen must be quite extraordinary. However, you should know the rules." Shakky didn't refuse. It was a rare opportunity for a big deal, and as a businesswoman, how could she miss it?

"You know, how many Beli?" Teach didn't care about Beli at all now. Who could be richer than him? Everyone knew he sold twenty warships.

"Haha, fifty million Beli," Shakky said with a smile. "Also, I've made some progress on the information you were looking for about the Dark-Dark Fruit."

As soon as he finished speaking, the air seemed to freeze, and the atmosphere instantly became very tense.

"Where is it!" Teach was silent for a moment, then said in a deep voice, which seemed a little hoarse as he suppressed his excitement. Although he thought he was in a good state of mind, he still couldn't contain himself when he heard the news.

"There's nothing there, just a little bit of news, and it's not certain." Shakky could feel Teach's concern and urgency.

"That's enough, hurry up and tell me." For some reason, Teach could feel his hands trembling. He hadn't been this excited in a long time; the last time was when he fought Bullet.

"It's in the West Blue. The intelligence my men obtained seems to have been hidden in the Kraken Kingdom's Curry more than ten years ago. I wonder what happened to it now," Shakky said softly.

Teach still believed Shakky's information. She might even have people in the World Government, and with Shakky's abilities, she could naturally obtain a complete Devil Fruit Encyclopedia. She would naturally know what the Dark-Dark Fruit looked like.

Since they were willing to tell him, there must be some basis for this information.

"Do you have any information about the Kraken Kingdom?" Teach asked.

"This is a military superpower with a strong aggressive nature. However, while maintaining a powerful military, domestic uprisings frequently occur, which have always been violently suppressed by the military. Once a critical point is reached, it will completely erupt." Shakky thought about the intelligence she had obtained. "I need to organize more detailed information and send it to you along with the news about that Lafitte."

"Okay, thanks." Teach nodded.

"Including detailed information about the Kraken Kingdom, the total is seventy million Beli," Shakky's voice rang out.

"Is intelligence on just one country really that expensive?" Teach frowned, somewhat surprised.

"Heh! Don't underestimate any powerful nation. Kraken is an extreme country. Most of its economy is used to support its military. While maintaining a strong military, its domestic industry and economy are very ordinary. Moreover, this country's development does not rely on production, but on plunder."

"How should I put it? They're like pirates within the country. It's been like this for many years. The royal family has a very strong control over the kingdom," Shakky said with a smile.

"Okay, I understand." Teach nodded. "If it's true, I'll give you the billion Beli when I return to Sabaody Archipelago."

Where is the intelligence received?

"I have a base on Modern Island, a trading Modern Island in the West Blue. When you get there, someone will give you the intelligence."

"Yes, I have further intelligence to share."
