"Don't you have anyone stronger? You don't have enough people, you need more prey." Gari's voice rang out like a lion's roar, his Hunting Knife already covered in blood. With monstrous strength and overwhelming power, a naval rear Rear Admiral who stood in his way died in a short time, his entire body torn apart.

Before him stood two Rear Admiral and five Commodore, a force that even some Vice Admiral, whose blood had been stained with blood from countless battles, would have to take seriously. But Gari didn't even consider them a threat.

The battlefield was gradually filled with an increasingly thick aura of blood, and the splattered blood from the killing had stained some of his white hair red.

Gari became incredibly excited, transforming into a Mad Lion, Blood Lion. Even Miles, who had eaten Devil Fruit, couldn't match Gari's power.

During his year on Beast Island, Gari's strength increased, his physique became stronger, and his mastery of Two types of Haki improved further. More importantly, his aura improved, and his beast-like aura put pressure on the opposing Marines.

They dared not be careless when facing Gari; their previous companion had underestimated Gari's strength and was killed by Gari.

They were all marines Haki, and even if Gari wanted to take them down, it wouldn't be so easy.

However, their fate was already sealed when they faced Gari.

Lafitte danced across the battlefield, the crimson light of his sword flashing with every movement. Blood dripped from Lafitte's staff and sword. "You devil," a Commodore uttered before falling before him.

"Hehe! Thank you for your praise." Lafitte smiled. This Commodore was actually quite strong, but he still died at his hands in a short time. The real battle could change in the blink of an eye.

But as the stronger Lafitte, he always seized such opportunities.

Compared to the other officers who joined the Night Pirates later, his strength was actually somewhat weak. However, Teach fed him a rare Ancient Species Devil Fruit, and this Devil Fruit was very compatible with him, greatly enhancing his strength and propelling him to the top ranks of the entire pirate crew.

After that, his training in the Night Pirates greatly enhanced his strength. It could also be said that he received systematic training, because his original strength, apart from his talent, was mostly developed during his time in prison.

There are many talented people in prison. Lafitte learned hypnosis in prison. Through learning from them, that environment, and his past experiences, Lafitte was shaped.

Therefore, Lafitte's learning was somewhat eclectic, mostly relying on his own talent for self-study. However, in the Night Pirates, he underwent the most systematic training, including physical skills, swordsmanship, and Haki. Teach was the best teacher, and with his Observation Haki, Teach would find the most suitable training methods.

The carnage he wreaked in the Underworld the West Blue, the trials on Beast Island —these were all periods of rapid growth in his strength. Coupled with his daily arduous training, Lafitte is now a completely different person.

A sharp flash of sword light appeared, Xiouyapufu raised his sword to block, looking up at the rear Rear Admiral blocking his way. "How long can you hold out against me? Or rather, how long can you last against me?"

With a powerful thrust of his arm, he knocked back the naval swordsman, then swung his sword, unleashing a massive Flying Slash.

The surrounding navy personnel stood there somewhat bewildered, seemingly affected by the scales of the Xiouyapufu.

Xiouyapufu is Zoan -type Devil Fruit user with the Butterfly Fruit, specifically the Mystic Butterfly form. Besides being beautiful, the Mystic Butterfly is also dangerous, as its scales have hallucinogenic properties. This hallucinogenic effect makes it extremely difficult to defend against, especially for weaker Marines, as the scales are hidden in the air and are hard to detect.

Those of stronger naval forces facing Xiouyapufu couldn't help but feel a sudden lapse in concentration or a slight weakness in their bodies.

Although it only has this effect, it is extremely deadly in battle.

Wallace's entire body turned crimson, like a furnace of steel. His strength had been improving rapidly, especially after he developed the technique of Molten Steel Body Tempering. Even without training, his body and strength continued to grow stronger. Moreover, Wallace had always been among the most hardworking people on the entire ship.

Several Rear Admiral stood in their way were forced to retreat under his fierce attacks. The scorching heat and the heat waves emanating from the air meant that they might not be able to withstand even a single punch.

"Molten Steel Fist!"

"Before you fight the Night Pirates, please recognize your own strength. You are too weak," Wallace said coldly, his figure flashing as he punched a Marine Rear Admiral in the abdomen.

The next moment, the Rear Admiral's eyes widened as he was sent flying.

On his abdomen, there were visible burns, with Wallace's fist embedded in them. If it weren't for the Haki that blocked the fire, his body might have been pierced through.

Their immense strength, powerful abilities, and formidable Armament Haki were all beyond their ability to withstand.

Their hellish training on Beast Island, still under Teach's gravity and with Teach guidance, was purposeful and efficient. Their Haki and physical skills improved rapidly, a much more powerful improvement than brute force.

They are now far stronger than when they first joined the Night Pirates.

"How dare you stand in the way of Teach? I will clear all obstacles for him. Until then, you may all die." Kaguya said coldly, slowly squatting down and placing her hands on the ground as she faced the approaching Marines.

"The Bone Realm Descent!"

Countless white bone fragments erupted from Kaguya's hands, rapidly spreading outwards. In the blink of an eye, the area within hundreds of meters was covered by the white bone fragments, creating an eerie scene.

Upon seeing this, a Rear Admiral in front of Kaguya's expression changed, a sense of foreboding creeping into his heart. He knew that Kaguya was about to unleash a wide-ranging attack.

"Oh no, everyone get out of the way and leave this area!" He knew Kaguya wouldn't give them much time to react, and his voice was filled with anxiety as he used Geppo to ascend into the air.

But it was too late; the ground trembled slightly as soon as he finished speaking.

The next moment, a horrifying sight appeared before him. "Sizzle, sizzle, sizzle..."

Countless sharp bone spikes suddenly burst forth from the bone-covered ground, and ordinary marines had no way to dodge them, their bodies being pierced by the bone spikes in an instant.

At the same time, bone invaded their bodies through the wounds, and then bone spurs burst out from their bodies, piercing them from the inside out, and bone flowers bloomed, stained with blood.

Even marines who were not dead after being stabbed died as a result.

In an instant, hundreds of marines died. Within this area, few survived. Most used Geppo to avoid the danger and flew into the air. However, seeing so many comrades die before their eyes, they felt both grief and intense anger.

Kaguya, wielding a bone sword and her body covered in bone spurs forming hard armor, charged directly at the surviving marines, beginning a fierce battle.

Pito moved freely within the Navy's ranks; her agility and lightning-fast reflexes meant the Navy couldn't even get close to her.

Sharp Cat Claws precisely target the weaknesses of these sailors, taking their lives with minimal force.

Pito, who is only fourteen years old, is incredibly strong, especially in combat. Pito has maximized his speed, explosiveness, and all the advantages of the Cat-Cat Fruit.

Coupled with her astonishing talent, although she wasn't as powerful as Gari or Wallace, no one in the naval camp could stop her.

"Fate is on our side, but unfortunately, you chose death," Kos said calmly, cloaked over his shoulder, Sniper Rifle in his right hand and a pistol in his left.

Facing the charging marines, Kos dodged with a quick movement, then raised his leg and swept it back, the force of Kos made his toes extremely aggressive.

With a kick, he sank directly into the sailor's abdomen. At the same time, Kos raised his pistol in his left hand and fired a precise shot to his side and rear, killing the sailor instantly. He was shot through the head and fell to the ground.

Then, Kos raised his Sniper Rifle with one hand and fired a shot into the distance, imbued with the power of Pierce-Pierce Fruit. A naval Commodore's expression changed; by the time he noticed, it was too late. It was beyond his reaction time, almost silent, and the bullet was faster. Before he could defend or dodge, the bullet had already pierced his head.

Kos has his sights set on the stronger members of the Navy. As a gunman, he must first eliminate these enemies who pose the greatest threat to the pirate crew.

One by one, Marines of Marine Captain rank or higher were targeted by Kos. Finally, someone realized the threat Kos posed, and several Commodore Admirals surrounded him. "Take care of this sniper first." There were no other Rear Admiral left; they had Rear Admiral gone to deal with the other Night Pirates officers.

"Oh? Is that so?" Kos couldn't help but chuckle, facing the navy surrounding him. "What gave you the illusion that you could take care of me?"

The next moment, Kos suddenly moved with astonishing speed. His Sniper Rifle was already fired. The power of the Pierce-Pierce Fruit, Teach's Armament Haki, and the close range combined with the powerful force of his beloved gun "Colt" directly pierced through the chest of a Marine Commodore.

Immediately afterwards, he holstered his gun behind his back, then casually drew another pistol from his waist, wielding both guns, and with two shots, "Bang! Bang!" he took out the two navy men.

Taking advantage of this opening, the last two marines closed in on Kos. It would be extremely dangerous for the gunman to be caught in close combat.

However, Kos remained calm. Facing the two slashes coming at him, Kos twirled his pistol, gripped the barrel, pointed the butt forward, and covered it with Armament Haki, accurately blocking the two slashes. Then, with a series of kicks, he struck them directly in the chest, forcing them back.

Kos quickly twirled his pistol again, gripping the handle and pointing it at the two men. "Bang!" Both shots were fired simultaneously at the two sailors.

At such close range, before I could even stand up straight, my eyes lost their focus.

The other members, engrossed in the killing, brandished their weapons. The crew of the Night Pirates were far superior to these marines.

The entire battlefield was a one-sided affair. The strength of the Night Pirates exceeded everyone's expectations. Most of their officers had grown up and improved significantly overall.

The entire situation was controlled by the Night Pirates. The Night Pirates' officers were too strong; it would have been impossible to resist them without several Marine Vice Admiral.

This was a scene of utter carnage, with the Night Pirates holding an overwhelming advantage. These ordinary marines were simply no match for the Night Pirates.

The Navy's expression was extremely grim. They hadn't expected the Night Pirates to be so powerful, especially their newly appointed officers, who posed an even greater threat.

What made their faces turn green was that most of the crew Night Pirates could use one or two of the Marine Six Styles, and some were even fighting the Navy in the air using Geppo.

In a short period of time, they had already lost one-third of their 15,000 elite naval troops.

Half of them were lost at the hands of the Night Pirates' officers.

The naval officers who were struggling to hold off the powerful officers of the Night Pirates were already showing signs of fatigue; they had greatly underestimated the overall strength of the Night Pirates.

During this year, the strength of all members has at least doubled.

At that moment, someone noticed that in an open area of the battlefield, the Night Pirates' band had already found their spot. Nelson, who was in the middle of a killing spree, suddenly appeared in their direction, panting and covered in blood.

With a wave of his hand, musical instruments and chairs appeared on the battlefield, instantly attracting the attention of many people, and the camera turned directly towards them.

Morgans was standing in a place where a huge screen was connected to a series of Transponder Snail), and all the images could be seen on it.

Therefore, he can switch screens and switch to whichever part is most exciting.

List, who was at the head of the group, sat in front of a piano. Everyone had taken their instruments. They were on the battlefield, surrounded by the sounds of fighting, but they closed their eyes and seemed undisturbed.

Soon, music began to play on the battlefield, and under the gaze of countless people, the Night Pirates' band made its first appearance and began to perform.

This performance is exactly Teach referred to as "Star Sky".

As the intro music began, the top musicians on the other side of the West Blue, who were also watching this battle, were extremely excited. This epic piece of music was finally about to be performed, because according to the agreement, they would also be able to perform this piece after the Night Pirates' band performed.

This indicates that this piece, which was perfected by many musicians, is one that they all really liked in terms of style and genre, unlike the previous "He's a Pirate".

In the center of the orchestra, a boy with the talent of a conductor holds a Tact in his hand.

On the other side, thirteen boys and girls stood together, preparing to sing.

The music that would shake the world began to play.
