Venus
The Night Pirates sailed on the sea for four months without taking any special actions, leading many to believe Night Pirates were simply touring the West Blue.
On the Night Pirates, besides training, whenever they reach a destination, they spend some time, sometimes even several days, exploring the island or kingdom.
In these places, the Night Pirates generally don't cause trouble, and no one dares to provoke Night Pirates.
In the four months that followed, the entire Night Pirates underwent a significant transformation, becoming much stronger. This period of growth and refinement benefited both ordinary crew members and Night Pirates officers, resulting in substantial improvements.
At six times the normal gravity, some members struggled to complete the training. The normal gravity was supposed to be seven times, but six times was already the limit for many members, while for others, six times the gravity was enough.
Teach and the other officers were all fitted with Seastone Handcuffs. Teach, however, did not wear Seastone Handcuffs because if he did, the gravity field he controlled would disappear.
Therefore, during the day Teach basically does basic training while developing his Devil Fruit abilities. The six times gravity also has some effect on him. He only starts real training at night.
It was precisely because of this rigorous training that Teach would let them have some fun and relax wherever they went!
She even took the members of the Night Pirates to Phantom Street, which was under Stephanie's control. With a large amount of Beli, the Night Pirates booked the entire area, allowing some members who were interested in Phantom Street to play for a few days.
The members of the Night Pirates, having nowhere else to vent their frustrations, unleashed their fury in Phantom Street.
After the Night Pirates left, Phantom Street was temporarily closed for a whole week because the girls needed time to recover. Stephanie complained a bit, saying she had lost out big time.
Although it angered many regulars of Phantom Street, the Night Pirates didn't care at all. The incident spread widely and became the subject of much gossip and even envy. After all, Phantom Street was such a famous place, and many members of the Night Pirates had lost their virginity there.
Furthermore, the women Stephanie prepared for the Night Pirates were of very high quality, some of them still virgins. Many men who desired them but could not obtain them were thus defiled by the members of the Night Pirates.
This is also one of the legends left behind by the Night Pirates.
After sailing and adventuring on the high seas, the Night Pirates finally arrived at their destination, their ultimate goal.
Venus, the City of Music.
It is an island, an island where music exists everywhere, Holy Land of music.
Its status in the music industry is like that of Water Seven in the shipbuilding industry. You know, even naval warships are built by the shipyards of Water Seven, which gives you an idea of how strong Water Seven's shipbuilding technology is.
This also shows how rich the musical atmosphere was in the city of Venus.
At first glance, the entire Venus resembles a pure young girl, predominantly white with many other colors, like a colorful dress.
This is a place where music converges, where all kinds of music exist, and where new sparks are ignited.
Countless masterpieces of music were born here, and countless renowned musicians were born here. This is the Holy Land of music, Venus.
The arrival of the Night Pirates attracted a lot of attention, but as long as the Night Pirates didn't cause any trouble, they wouldn't care. Some people only glanced at them and then ignored them.
Of course, most people were still somewhat frightened. Even though they might know that the Night Pirates wouldn't cause much trouble, the fear of the Night Pirates and of pirates in general still arose in their hearts.
Some members of the Night Pirates disembarked, while others remained on board. They knew Teach's goal was to find the musician, and this kind of city was hardly suitable for them to wander around.
Others were somewhat interested, such as Xiouyapufu, Baccarat, and Rediat; they all had some interest in the city.
"Let's go, let's look around this city. But, Baccarat, it's up to you." Teach said, his gaze fixed on Baccarat.
The city of music is vast, and everywhere you look there are people working in the music industry, artists dedicated to music, including composers, performers, and singers.
Even the residents here are exposed to music from a young age.
Venus was a famous musician, and royalty and nobles from all West Blue the world were her guests.
Teach didn't know where to begin, even though his Observation Haki Teach wasn't omnipotent.
"Captain, please give me some information, otherwise I don't know how to find it," Baccarat said helplessly.
Teach exchanged glances with Rediat and Xiouyapufu. Teach thought for a moment, "Since they're going to be our partners, there aren't many requirements for their singing. They need to be top-notch in composition and playing instruments, and be good at playing upbeat and majestic music. If they're not weak, that would be even better."
"Isn't that a bit too much to ask, Captain?" Xiouyapufu frowned. Grand and majestic music was extremely rare. Although he said this, he knew Teach was thinking. For a pirate crew, special music would undoubtedly gain everyone's recognition and love, and it would also suit the pirate crew.
Having been with the Night Pirates for so long, he was fine with the lighter, more rhythmic music, but the softer music was completely unappealing to the crew members who had no musical talent. Some even fell asleep while listening to it, and there were very few people who could appreciate it with him.
"It's music that gets your blood pumping, like it's describing a war," Teach added, making the description even clearer.
"Strength is secondary." Rediat nodded, then said to Teach, "The ship needs a top-notch musician. If you're willing to become a pirate, playing such a piece is definitely not difficult, but to create such a piece, forgive my bluntness, Teach, that's a bit too much."
"Haha, no problem, I've already prepared the sheet music. It's a bit rough, but it needs a real musician to perfect it." Teach smiled and took out a few sheets of paper from his pocket. These were the sheet music. All three people present knew music. Although Rediat was an amateur, Baccarat had been studying for so long and could barely be considered a professional, Xiouyapufu had grown up with music since childhood.
If you look closely, you'll see the title of the piece, "He's a Pirate," a familiar name.
Teach doesn't know much about music, but he can appreciate it. At his level, he's very perceptive of emotions and has a certain intuition for music. Combined with his limited understanding of music, he can barely be considered an amateur.
Desiring to bring his favorite music from his past life into this world, Teach, with Teach abilities, managed to compose half of the pirate song he had in mind after gaining some understanding of the music.
The main problem is that Teach doesn't understand music very well; he only has the overall picture of music in his mind. Being able to write down half of the music in his mind is already an achievement.
Moreover, this sheet music was made by Teach a long time ago; you can tell from the slightly yellowed paper. As time went by, Teach was afraid that he might forget something.
"Huh?!" Amidst confusion and shock, the three of them looked at Teach, as well as the pirates standing behind Teach. They had all heard it. What had they heard? Their captain had actually composed a piece of music.
Music, such a noble and sophisticated thing, was actually composed by our own captain.
Xiouyapufu stared wide-eyed in disbelief. Although for some geniuses who have mastered certain skills or have a talent for it, composing music is not difficult for them, just like telling a story.
But who was his captain? A pirate who had been sailing the seas since he was twelve, and who had never formally studied music, having at most read a few books about it.
Although Xiouyapufu's role on the ship was merely that of a dancer, a professional in music.
He disagreed with the quality of Teach's music, but he admired Teach's courage.
Based on our understanding of Teach and what we said before, we can guess the type of music Teach makes.
With a mixture of belief and skepticism, Xiouyapufu had already figured out in his mind how to adjust his language so as not to undermine Teach's confidence.
Teach naturally saw through Xiouyapufu's thoughts and couldn't help but smile; he was still quite confident.
Xiouyapufu took Teach's manuscript and examined it carefully. "Hmm?" Xiouyapufu frowned, somewhat surprised. On the surface, and based on his imagination, the piece was perfect.
However, to truly judge the quality of a piece of music, you still need to look at how well it is performed.
"This is a piece that involves multiple instruments, right? Let's try playing it on one instrument first," said Xiouyapufu. The group returned to the ship, surrounded by a large crowd.
The news spread quickly, and before long, the news that their captain had composed a piece of music had spread throughout the entire Night Pirates, and Xiouyapufu was about to play it.
Xiouyapufu was also somewhat curious. So far, Teach's piece seemed to be of good quality, so there was nothing to be embarrassed about. He was already looking forward to the effect of the piece in his mind.
Under the gaze of the crowd, Xiouyapufu held a violin in his hand. The surroundings were silent, and no one wanted to disturb Xiouyapufu's performance.
Immediately afterward, Rediat quickly began playing the violin, and the familiar rhythm of pirates filled Teach's ears. For several minutes, the surrounding crew members seemed to be immersed in the somewhat hurried music, until Xiouyapufu finished playing.
Xiouyapufu had been closing his eyes, opened them and looked at Teach with a mixture of shock and admiration in his eyes. "Captain, I'm very sorry, I underestimated you." Xiouyapufu bowed to Teach.
Immediately afterwards, Xiouyapufu put down his violin, and a pirate next to him took the violin and carefully placed it into the case containing the violin.
"However, this piece is very difficult, and to play it completely, we need not just one musician, but an entire symphony orchestra. In addition, perfecting this piece will take a long time and requires the assistance of the most professional, master-level musicians," Xiouyapufu sighed.
"Haha, we have plenty of time. We'll perfect it someday. As for those musicians, we're pirates, there's no one we can't hire!" Teach laughed heartily, completely unconcerned.
"Now, Baccarat, let's see what you're capable of." Teach said, looking at Baccarat.
"Captain, I just used my ability, right in that direction." Baccarat smiled and pointed to a spot northwest of Venus. "I sensed good luck in that direction; we should have a good haul."
Teach had great faith in Baccarat's ability, so Teach and the others headed towards the northwest of Venus.
Venus, as Holy Land for music, produces all kinds of musical instruments, and its environment is also first-class, refreshing and delightful. It is precisely because of this that musicians can find inspiration amidst their busy schedules and the beauty of nature.
Meanwhile, Teach and the others, admiring the beautiful scenery, arrived in the northwest direction of Venus.
Unlike the prosperity of the core area of Venus, which was inhabited by the wealthy, music belonged to the nobility, and the instruments alone were beyond the reach of ordinary people.
In this area, unlike the nobility and prosperity of the core region, there is a touch of simplicity and rural scenery. Here, Teach and his friends can hear singing, loud and clear.
You can also see musicians here gathering inspiration for their creations.
Meanwhile, Teach and his companions arrived at a wilderness, where green grass and beautiful flowers were everywhere. A breeze swept by, carrying away the raging storm from the sea and bringing a sense of tranquility to their hearts.
With the wind, Teach and his companions heard music, a beautiful melody, coming from afar, on the other side of a slope.
With their feet on the grass, Teach and the others walked towards the direction from which the singing came. They were certain that the location predicted by Baccarat's ability was here, which should be the direction from which the singing came.
However, they still had some doubts. They could sense that it wasn't just one person, but rather many, which they could tell by listening to the music.
Walking up the slope, the group reached the top and looked down. They saw dozens of children holding musical instruments. In front of them was a man who looked somewhat thin, even pale and weak, like a patient, but with a gentle smile on his face.
