"The World Government is sending me a batch of Devil Fruit, which I'll give to you later," Stephanie said with a laugh from the other end of the Den Den Mushi.

After finishing his call with his superiors at the World Government, he immediately relayed a message to Teach, whom he had just separated from.

Stephanie has fully embraced the role of a double agent, not for anyone else, but for herself.

"So efficient?" Teach was somewhat surprised, not expecting the World Government to have made a decision so quickly after separating from Scorpion Island.

"Of course, your intelligence is invaluable, especially regarding Whitebeard. However, your strength and potential have also caught the attention of CP. With me around, there's no problem. I wonder if there are other people secretly watching you. The Navy's intelligence network is not to be underestimated. Don't let the Navy catch you."

Stephanie smiled and reminded Teach.

"Haha, no way, have some faith in me." The Den Den Mushi was placed by the window, Teach leaned against the wall to the left of the window, looking out at the blue sea with a smile.

How could his journey end so easily?

"Don't let me down." With a smile, Stephanie hung up the Den Den Mushi. Although Teach held leverage over Teach and she was forced to cooperate with Teach, she still wanted to maintain the upper hand because they were partners.

But is that even possible? Looking at the Den Den Mushi that had already hung up, Teach's lips curled up slightly. He could naturally guess Stephanie's little scheme. It was just a cooperation; if she wanted to control him with information and Devil Fruit, she was dreaming.

On the ship, Kaguya was fighting with the crew members, facing attacks from several of them at the same time. Even so, Kaguya remained very relaxed, her powerful combat instincts proving more effective than ordinary Observation Haki.

They attacked with all their might, each strike deadly, but they couldn't touch Kaguya. Kaguya held two bone clubs without bone spikes, allowing her to fight to her heart's content without seriously injuring her comrades.

Meanwhile, Wallace, facing the combined attack of Daz Bonnies and Clemons, was surprisingly at a disadvantage for a short time because he was unable to use his abilities, as he was wearing handcuffs mixed with sea-based magic.

Unable to use his own abilities, his body was weakened and suppressed by a full 80%, yet he still managed to persevere thanks to his physique and martial arts skills.

Bonnies and Clemons have made great progress these days. They are both being taught by Wallace and also fight with other crew members to increase their combat experience.

Wallace's fight with the two young monks while wearing Seastone Handcuffs was also a form of training for him, given his unprecedented physical weakness and sense of depletion, and the feeling of losing his strength.

All three were experts in physical combat combined with Devil Fruit, and their brutal, hand-to-hand fighting was incredibly eye-catching. Some of the crew members around them even started placing bets on how long Wallace could hold out against the two young monks.

After all, the progress of these two young monks was visible to the naked eye. They had made great improvements in combat and physical skills. In particular, Clemons' strength had reached the first tier of the crew below the executive level, that is, the elite crew. This muscular young monk was a natural battle maniac. The Muscle Fruit had greatly enhanced his body, even more so than those Zoan Devil Fruits.

At the same time, he can control the expansion and growth of all his muscles, thereby unleashing even greater speed and power.

However, Clemons is learning to control the muscles in his body, which parts of his body have muscles, and what muscles are composed of. If he doesn't understand these things, using this ability will put a huge burden on his body.

If not properly managed, his lifespan may be shortened, or his body may collapse.

After all, the body is a system, a whole, and balance is extremely important for this whole.

However, this top-tier Paramecia Devil Fruit not only controls the strengthening of muscles, but also the growth of muscles. Now, Clemons can control the growth of muscles, covering half of his arm, bringing not only immense strength but also steel-like defense.

With his taut muscles, Clemons has the potential to become monstrous in physique.

Although Bonnies is slightly inferior, he has great potential, which is foreseeable. He will undoubtedly become a senior combatant on the ship in the future.

His abilities are similar in nature to Barton's Scythe Fruit- Scythe Fruit. Teach has witnessed Barton's strength firsthand. If Bonnies' Slash-Slash Fruit Devil Fruit Awakening, under Teach's guidance, he will at least be no weaker than Barton.

"Naval forces are approaching us!" the lookout on the mast shouted down.

"Oh! Is there Marine Vice Admiral?" Wallace asked, looking up as he stopped fighting.

"It's too far away, I can't see it clearly." The lookout, unaware of this, looked out at the sea again carefully, but could only make out the tiny silhouette of the warship.

But that's enough. It's good that he was able to spot the Marines in advance. As a lookout, he has excellent eyesight and is also the gunner of the Night Pirates.

"No Marine Vice Admiral, it's just an ordinary Marine warship," Kos with a faint smile, holding a long spear, wearing a black cloak and a monocle over his right eye.

"It's been a while since we've had any action, let's just take over this warship," Wallace said with a smile, staring at the direction of the Marine warship.

Teach wasn't on the ship; he was still training underwater, often for the entire day at a time. He didn't want to be disturbed, and Teach was always aware of what was happening on the ship.

At this time, the decisions on the ship were made by these officers.

However, their opinions are often the same.

"Yes, the captain said we need to make money right now. We can't let go of the warships that were delivered to us with such difficulty." Nelson, wearing Gentleman hat, smiled.

"Then leave it to us. You officers shouldn't get involved. It wouldn't be good if you destroyed the warship," Clemons said excitedly, clenching his fists tightly.

His entire upper body was exposed, a string of crimson beads hung around his neck, and a huge word "Tibet" was tattooed on his body.

This was his first time fighting the Navy. Before, it had all been naval pursuit battles. Marine Vice Admiral Bram could never catch them, but he was so persistent. He came again a couple of days ago, which annoyed them.

Each time Lieutenant Vice Admiral Brom's warships suffer damage, the total repair costs over the years are enough to build one or two more warships.

"Let's go then, don't let that warship get away."

At this moment, the Night Pirates had already spotted the Marine warship, while the Navy had not yet spotted them. However, the sea was vast and boundless, and any situation that occurred would be immediately apparent. As the Night Pirates approached, the Marine warship also noticed that the Night Pirates were heading in their direction.

Moreover, they were sailing in the same direction as each other.

"What? The Night Pirates? They're coming towards us! Turn around and run!" The captain, the leader, exclaimed anxiously, his eyes wide. His words didn't displease the others, because everyone felt the same way.

The marines on the entire warship were filled with fear upon spotting the Night Pirates.

The Night Pirates haven't just arrived in the West Blue. These past few months have been enough for the West Blue Navy to know how terrifying Night Pirates. Back on Modern Island, three warships that were trying to delay the Night Pirates' departure were swallowed up before Vice Admiral Tsuru arrived.

After that, on an island, the three warships were sold off openly and honestly. The West Blue Navy was indignant, but what could they do? Wipe out the Night Pirates?

Therefore, it's an unspoken understanding that, apart from Vice Admiral Marine Vice Admiral Brom, the other marines usually avoid the area mentioned in the Dark Night Pirates 'Night Pirates intelligence to prevent encounters with them.

However, the Navy can't completely track down the Night Pirates; there are always unlucky ones, and this warship was one of those unlucky ones.

"They're pretty fast. I'll go take care of their control panel," Nelson chuckled as he saw the warship turn around.

As he spoke, his body vanished from the spot in an instant, then rapidly reappeared in the sky, steadily approaching the Marine warship.

"Go and fight them, and take them all down."

On the Marine warship, the bodies of marines lay scattered on the control panel, their blood flowing freely and permeating the air with a strong, lingering scent.

The warship, which had been sailing, gradually came to a stop. "What's going on? Oh no, the control panel..."

The sailors on board naturally noticed the condition of the warship, and at that moment they realized the seriousness of the situation.

If they wanted to get to the control panel, but the warship couldn't be started, their fate was sealed. The three pirate ships of the Night Pirates were rapidly approaching.

"This road is blocked." Carrying a long sword, he entered the control room, where he saw the corpses of the navy and Nelson, dressed in a black suit.

The control room door was slowly closing because Nelson had pressed the door switch.

"Get in there!" They needed to get into the control room before the doors closed. They didn't know when Nelson had hacked in, and if the doors closed and Nelson was inside, they wouldn't be able to get in.

"I told you, this road is blocked." Nelson adjusted his Gentleman hat, smiled, and then his body vanished from the spot. A bright silver sword flashed, instantly piercing through the bodies of the first few marines.

His eyes glazed over, and he slowly collapsed to the ground. Only then did they realize that this was a member of the Night Pirates. Their charge was like throwing eggs against a rock.

The gate slowly closed, and the Night Pirates were already approaching.

"Kill them, seize this warship!"

One by one, the members excitedly jumped from the pirate ship onto the warship and charged towards the somewhat desperate marines.

Meanwhile, the gunmen of the Night Pirates, like Kos, were secretly providing cover for their comrades in battle.

"Hold on! We've already called for reinforcements from the surrounding navy. We await their arrival, and victory will ultimately belong to justice." The captain tried to rally the sailors on board, but to no avail. Faced with an enemy they couldn't defeat, they had lost all will to fight.

But this was the final moment. Knowing there was no hope, they had no choice but to fight with all their might. Some marines were determined to burn their last bit of light.

However, faced with the ruthless and ferocious Night Pirates, they were constantly being swallowed up.

Clemons excitedly charged into the navy's ranks, unleashing his speed and strength, swinging his fists and sending marines flying one by one, each punch striking their weak points.

Kaguya walked slowly forward, holding two bone swords, her face expressionless, but she appeared terrifying to the marines in front of her; the name "White-Haired Demon" was legendary.

Furthermore, the blood constantly dripping from the bone sword's blade indicated that many people had already died at Kaguya's hands.

A marine swallowed hard, mustered his courage, stared at Kaguya as she slowly moved forward, a hint of madness flashing in his eyes.

"Die!" Holding a long spear, he aimed at Kaguya and fired shot after shot at Kaguya.

With one person taking the lead, the other marines followed suit, their fighting spirit ignited, and they continued to fire at Kaguya.

An ordinary person would have been riddled with bullets long ago, but Kaguya was different. Everyone stared wide-eyed, unable to believe it. Kaguya continued to walk forward, the bone material generated within her body covering her body, transforming into a white bone armor that perfectly blocked all the bullets.

"Monster, monster, how can we possibly defeat this?" The weapon in his hand involuntarily fell to the ground.

Faced with Kaguya approaching, they had lost their will to fight and wanted to retreat, but they had nowhere to go; they were surrounded by members of the Night Pirates.

Bonnies's performance was also outstanding. His body transformed into blades as hard as steel, and he launched a frenzied attack, forcing the marines to retreat in defeat. For him, killing was no longer a burden.

Soon all the marines were dead, and even the strongest captain died unwillingly by Nelson's sword.

The Night Pirates suffered no losses, with only a few members sustaining minor injuries.

The Night Pirates are now strong enough to suppress the entire West Blue. Every crew member is an elite, and could be a high-ranking officer in any ordinary pirate crew.

Moreover, the Night Pirates only deployed a small portion of their members this time; half of their officers did not participate.

At that moment, a Den Den Mushi) rang in the captain's arms.

"It must have been a support warship from the Navy that attacked. Hao Er, I'm leaving it to you." Nelson said to the member after taking out his Den Den Mushi.

"Okay, leave it to me. Are you going to lure them over here?" Hao Er asked with a smile.

"Of course, we haven't had enough fun yet!" a burly pirate laughed loudly.

This pirate named Hao Er is a member of the ship and also a Devil Fruit user. He ate the Imitation Fruit, which has a very ordinary ability: he can imitate any sound he hears. It is considered a lower-level Copy-Copy Fruit.
