The Navy's Foiled Plan, Vice Admiral Tsuru

This conclusion can also be drawn about Lafitte's personality: he possesses strong violent tendencies, is a sadistic madman, and a pervert.

Teach didn't care about that; there were plenty of madmen on the high seas, and it didn't prove anything. What he wanted to see was the true nature of this Lafitte.

After reviewing the information, Teach suddenly looked up, his gaze fixed on the direction of the port, as if something had happened.

"Get ready, the navy has arrived, a total of eighteen warships." Teach's words startled the intelligence officer, and by the time he reacted, Teach had already disappeared.

With Teach's words echoing in his mind, he quickly took out his Den Den Mushi and called his superior.

At the port, Wallace watched the pirates and bounty hunters being brutally murdered by Gari. Just then, his Den Den Mushi rang. Wallace took out the Den Den Mushi and asked, "What is it, Captain?"

"The Navy is coming. They've surrounded the island. Two Marine Vice Admiral are sailing towards the port. They'll move the pirate ship to the back of the island and notify the rest of the crew," Teach announced his orders.

"It's the Navy again. Could it be that Vice Admiral Brom again?" Wallace was somewhat speechless. Vice Admiral Brom was one of the few Marine Vice Admiral whose name was remembered by all the members of the Night Pirates.

They would come to cause trouble for Teach and his friends every few days. At first, it was somewhat interesting, but gradually it became a bit annoying.

"That's right, it's him. However, the other Marine Vice Admiral is much stronger, and I don't know who he is. So be careful."

"Okay, I understand." Wallace nodded.

Besides the three officers who stayed behind, there were also some ordinary crew members on the ship.

Under Wallace's orders, the three pirate ships immediately set sail, leaving the port and heading towards the back of Modern Island.

At the same time, he also began to notify his other companions on the island.

Inside the casino on Modern Island, a crowd gathered around a gambling table. "What? How come she won again?"

"Could it really be like the legends say, a girl blessed with good fortune?"

The other gamblers around were shocked. Since coming to this casino, Baccarat had never lost. Her companions were overjoyed, having made a fortune by betting with Baccarat.

Before Baccarat lay a mountain of chips, and in a short time, she had already earned over 80 million Beli —a huge profit. But they dared not harbor any ill intentions; after all, she was a member of the Night Pirates.

If they dare to make a move, the members of the Night Pirates around them are not to be trifled with.

In a corner of the casino, Nelson wore a slight smile, his fingers occasionally flicking. While Baccarat was enjoying the thrill of gambling, Nelson was enjoying the thrill of stealing money. Some gamblers didn't even notice that they had less money on them.

Although the amount of money wasn't much, and Nelson wasn't short of money, it made him very happy.

Just then, Den Den Mushi rang, "Burp burp!" All eyes turned to Nelson, mostly from members of the Night Pirates.

"Is that Nelson? Who's with you?" Wallace's voice rang out.

"Yes, Baccarat and some other members are here. We're in the casino." Nelson smiled and said casually, "What happened?"

"The navy is here, eighteen warships, two Marine Vice Admiral. The captain tells you to assemble on the back of the island," Wallace said in a deep voice.

"Okay! Got it, I'll be off right away." Nelson smiled and hung up the Den Den Mushi.

They didn't hide their voices, and everyone around them could hear them. "Let's go. Honestly, these navy guys can't even let us relax properly. Let's go assemble first, and then teach them a lesson." Nelson smiled at the other members, but a cold glint flashed in his eyes.

"Yeah, teach them a lesson, they're always causing us trouble."

"Today is my lucky day," Baccarat smiled mysteriously; she had already drawn upon enough luck.

One by one, the pirates followed Nelson and Baccarat out of the casino.

The remaining gamblers were stunned. "The navy is here? Eighteen warships, two Marine Vice Admiral."

"Quick, let's go! Notify the captain, the Navy might be about to attack us!" Many of the gamblers were pirates as well, and they said this as they quickly ran outside.

They quickly ran outside, and news of the navy's arrival spread rapidly. As for the accuracy of the news, it came directly from the Night Pirates —how could it be wrong?

"This is such a hassle, please wrap up all these clothes for me," said Xiouyapufu buying clothes, to the shopkeeper in front of him.

He didn't have time to try on the clothes anymore; he just bought them all.

The members of the Night Pirates soon learned that the Navy was coming. Both Clemons and Bonnies wore a string of prayer beads around their necks, but Bonnies' beads were black while Clemons' beads were dark red.

Another group of members were extremely angry, filled with murderous intent, and had their pants down when they were suddenly told that the navy had arrived.

These naval forces, they didn't arrive earlier or later, but at this crucial moment, which greatly angered them!

Meanwhile, in the waters around Modern Island, three warships are rapidly sailing towards Modern Island, while fifteen other warships are surrounding Modern Island.

"Are you sure this will work?" Crane asked, somewhat doubtfully. "Modern Island is so large; it would be difficult for just eighteen warships to encircle it."

"And those pirates will find it easier to find a way out and escape."

The operation was commanded by Brom, and Vice Admiral Tsuru was invited by Brom.

Tsuru is searching for the Doflamingo Pirates in the North Blue. After two failed attempts to capture them, Doflamingo has become wary and knows that Vice Admiral Tsuru is coming to arrest him.

So it hid very well, and Crane had some free time. It was at this time that Brom in the West Blue came to Crane for help.

In just over two months, Brom's warships underwent repairs eight times and encountered the Night Pirates more than twenty times while trying to capture them. However, each time, the Night Pirates escaped, suffering no losses and inflicting damage on his warships, while also killing many marines.

This put Brom in a very awkward position, as the Night Pirates always managed to escape. Moreover, the Night Pirates' firepower was too intense; even he couldn't block all the cannonballs.

Asking Tsuru for help was a last resort. He couldn't capture the Night Pirates on his own, mainly because the Night Pirates wouldn't give him a chance and wouldn't engage in a direct battle with him.

Once they approached on the high seas, a barrage of cannonballs would rain down upon them. Even if they were to lay an ambush on the island beforehand or launch a sneak attack, somehow the Night Pirates would always detect it in advance and escape.

Therefore, he needs Tsuru's strength. Currently, Tsuru is the only one in the Navy with free time. Tsuru also has nothing to do for the time being. Finding Doflamingo's whereabouts requires the efforts of the intelligence department and will take time.

At the same time, Tsuru was also curious about the Night Pirates, as some information could only be confirmed after witnessing it firsthand.

"No, most of their pirate ships are in the port. If they don't want their ships to be damaged, they'll have to fight us head-on. This time, my plan is to wipe out all the pirates on the island in one fell swoop," Brom said confidently with a smile.

"This is bad, Vice Admiral Brom. Our intelligence agents on Modern Island have reported that news of our navy's arrival has been leaked. Now, the entire Modern Island knows."

The reality check came faster than I expected.

"How is that possible? This operation is top secret; only Crane and I know about it." Brom found it hard to believe. This operation was absolutely secret; no one could have exposed it.

"Brom, don't panic," Tsuru said, calming Vice Admiral Brom down. Then she looked at the marine who had delivered the message and asked, "How did the message get out?"

"It's the Night Pirates. It seems the captain of the Night Pirates found out about this and then passed it on to the other Night Pirates. Now, the members of the Night Pirates have begun to gather, and their destination is probably the back of the island. Their three pirate ships have already left the port."

"What!" Brom clenched his fists. His plan had already failed. "Damn it, the Night Pirates!"

"That way we'll know." Crane thought for a moment and nodded.

"Know what?"

"The captain of the Night Pirates Teach, must have an extremely wide range of Observation Haki, which explains why the Night Pirates can detect your every move," Tsuru analyzed.

"But how is this possible? How vast is that area?" Brom couldn't believe it. The distance from here to Modern Island, including Modern Island, was unimaginable to him.

"Nothing is impossible. Since he dared to leave the Whitebeard Pirates and start his own business, he must have some skills. His Observation Haki is already among the world's best." Tsuru's gaze was somewhat solemn, and Teach's threat level rose again.

"Leave the Night Pirates to me. I probably won't be able to catch them this time either, but I'd like to see what it's like," Tsuru said to Brom. "You're in charge of capturing the pirates on the island. Such a big operation doesn't need any spoils to shut the other people up. If we're too late, all the pirates will get away."

Brom understood this, but he was somewhat unwilling. His operation, which he was full of confidence in and which was specifically aimed at the Night Pirates, had already failed before it even began.

Although he wanted to capture the Night Pirates, he knew the chances were slim, so he could only vent his anger and helplessness on these pirates.

Since the plan has failed and has been exposed, the encirclement is useless. There are a lot of pirates on Modern Island, and a large number of troops are needed to deal with them. He has also recalled twelve of the other fifteen warships.

The remaining three warships kept their eyes on the Night Pirates and followed Vice Admiral Tsuru's orders.

One of the warships, which belonged to Crane, was separated and turned around, intending to go around Modern Island and reach the back of it.

The members of the Night Pirates have begun to assemble, and the three pirate ships, led by the Lucky Goddess, have already anchored at the shore.

Teach sensed the change in the layout of these warships and knew that the Navy intended to target the port, but had not given up on targeting them. Three warships were sailing towards the Night Pirates.

Meanwhile, the powerful Marine Vice Admiral was rushing towards them.

Who is truly a candidate for Admiral?

Teach thought to himself, but he wasn't nervous. One by one, the crew members boarded the pirate ship. Teach could already see the three Marine warship heading this way, seemingly trying to stall for time until the arrival of that powerful naval officer.

Then let me see for myself.

"Nelson, Gari, Wallace, you go and take care of the people on those three warships, but don't damage them; they're our spoils."

"Yes, Captain." Wallace nodded, leaped into the sky, and using Geppo, quickly rushed towards one of the warships.

Next was Gari, who leaped onto the sea and then quickly ran across it.

Nelson's figure disappeared from the spot and then reappeared a hundred meters away. With continuous movement, he was the first to reach the Marine warship.

On Vice Admiral Tsuru's ship, a distress call came through the Den Den Mushi: "It's bad, Vice Admiral! Members of the Night Pirates are heading towards our warship!"

He couldn't help but sigh, "What an audacious brat." There was nothing she could do; he knew the Dark Night Pirates 'Night Pirates intelligence and was well aware that three warships couldn't withstand them.

This isn't the first time something like this has happened.

At the same time, Crane could feel the subtle sensation of being watched, which made her even more certain of her previous thoughts.

The three warships were quickly captured and brought to the side of the pirate ship by Gari and his two companions. The pirates on the ship were then transferred to the three warships and remained there.

They were waiting, waiting for Teach's orders, and Teach was also waiting, waiting for the arrival of that powerful figure in the navy.

Finally, in the distance, the warship appeared. "Is it waiting for us?" Tsurumi wondered to herself as the Night Pirates hadn't left.

Seeing the three warships standing side-by-side with the Night Pirates' ships, just as she had predicted, these three Marine warship had already been captured.

"Vice Admiral, shall we go over there?" the adjutant beside him asked.

"Don't worry, go ahead, I'll take care of everything." Crane smiled. She knew what they were worried about. Once they got close, they would be within the Night Pirates' firing range. With their firepower, there was no way they could fight against the Night Pirates.

"Captain, shall we fire?" a pirate beside him asked, awaiting Teach's order. By this time, the warship had approached and entered their firing range.

Teach recognized Crane and was somewhat surprised, not expecting her to come to the West Blue.

"No need, let them come over." Teach smiled and shook his head, "But be prepared to fire at any time."
