Combat Power Benchmark, Using CP9 for Practice

"Aside from the Marines, ordinary people shouldn't know our identities."

"Perhaps it's because you're too eye-catching, which is why that man took an extra look at you."

Kaku shrugged his shoulders and spoke up.

After all, the other party's physique didn't look particularly strong.

Even if they were Marines, they would be the weaklings among them, and he wasn't afraid of them.

Kalifa didn't say much more, instead watching Uchiha Tamaharu and Shisui until they disappeared from her sight.

After returning to their residence, she kept thinking about this matter.

"Is there something strange about those two?"

Once they reached a secluded area, Shisui asked.

"I ran into a suitable target for a combat power test and was wondering if we should practice on them first."

Uchiha Tamaharu spoke quite directly.

After all, everything was based on his own judgment; he lacked accurate data and had never fought against people from this world.

Fighting ordinary people was generally meaningless.

However, the current CP9 was quite valuable; Rob Lucci's strength should be at the level of a Vice Admiral.

Kaku, the second-in-command, also had strength approaching that of a Vice Admiral.

"Those two from just now?"

"They did give me a feeling of being quite sharp."

Shisui nodded and said.

Unlike Kaku and the others who judged strength by looking at a person's physique, the Uchiha clan had excellent eyesight.

Combined with years of ninja training, they were very professional when it came to judging whether a target had the ability to resist.

"We'll talk about it tomorrow. We've confirmed the basic situation for today, so we'll start the next step tomorrow: gathering supplies."

Uchiha Tamaharu said.

Then, the two of them waited at separate locations for the others to return.

At three in the morning, everyone had returned.

At the same time, Uchiha Izumi sent someone to notify them that the other three ships had also arrived.

They all returned to the hidden base beneath the cliff.

"Clan Leader, it adds up to about 35 million Beli in total."

Itachi tallied the cash everyone had managed to acquire.

They hadn't taken any treasures, as it would be a waste of time to fence them.

The first outing was primarily to collect a wave of supplies for replenishment; there would be other ways to collect funds later, and the Uchiha clan still had some stock of precious metals.

"This is enough. Tomorrow, we will purchase supplies and go directly to the port to buy new ships."

"After the supplies are bought, Inabi, Tekka, and Izumi, you take sixty people back. Yashiro will take the rest and come with us."

Uchiha Tamaharu gave his orders directly.

They didn't need that many people to go out to sea for big tasks; after all, they weren't going to topple a nation.

The focus was primarily on Pirates to earn some bounties, and secondarily, to complete Uchiha Tamaharu's missions.

Taking the elites was enough. Ordinary ninjas could just run the cargo ships and transport goods; once the situation stabilized, they would expand the selection of people going out.

Everyone obeyed Uchiha Tamaharu's words absolutely and had no objections.

At four-thirty in the morning, Uchiha Tamaharu went out alone, ran to the Marine base stationed in this country, and conducted a direct search.

However, the items he took weren't very conspicuous; it would be hard to notice they were missing unless one was specifically looking for them.

The items he took were Seastone handcuffs, the restraints used to imprison Devil Fruit users.

He also took a pile of bounty posters, which were everywhere in the Marine base.

Along with some Eternal Poses; these were quite necessary, as Seastone handcuffs and Eternal Poses were relatively troublesome items to get a hold of.

"It seems like there are a lot of strangers today."

Kalifa went out, preparing to buy food.

Along the way, she discovered that there were many people in the market she hadn't seen in the past few days.

Moreover, they were basically all black-haired and black-eyed, which was slightly eye-catching in the crowd, and they seemed to be purchasing supplies on a large scale.

"Very alert, they have the feel of an intelligence organization, but they aren't paying any attention to us."

Rob Lucci also furrowed his brows slightly.

He sensed an aura similar to his own.

However, the Uchiha clan members around them ignored them and focused on their shopping.

The primary purchases were seasonings, fabrics, and various medicines.

As for meat, seafood could provide the vast majority of their protein needs, so they also bought oranges and alcohol.

This first procurement was for urgent necessities; anything else needed would be purchased later depending on the situation.

"They don't look like Pirates, but forget it. We are currently on the run ourselves, so let's not worry about them and focus on gathering supplies first."

Kalifa spoke up from her side.

Having discovered that these people were quite mysterious, she did not want to stir up any conflict right now.

After all, they were still being hunted by the World Government.

Rob Lucci scanned the area, memorized the positions of these people, and then followed Kalifa as they left.

"This is a Den Den Mushi, though you can only buy two-way communication models here; higher-end ones aren't sold in this place."

"Still, this is enough. It will serve for me to contact Captain Fugaku, and you can keep the extra pair to contact him as well."

Uchiha Tamaharu had also gone to buy items, specifically Den Den Mushi.

Itachi and Izumi looked at the creatures with great curiosity; the fact that they could be used to communicate over thousands of miles was something they simply couldn't fathom.

"When communicating, try to use coded text, because the World Government can monitor these Den Den Mushi. Aside from certain specially encrypted ones that cannot be tapped, almost all other Den Den Mushi have signals that can be intercepted and monitored by a special type of Den Den Mushi used by the World Government."

"Izumi, go gather Yashiro and the others. There is a live combat demonstration coming up; you all should observe it to understand the strength of the humans in this world."

Uchiha Tamaharu continued.

Izumi nodded and hurried off to find Yashiro and the others.

Before long, Yashiro and the rest arrived.

Uchiha Tamaharu led them directly to the hideout of CP9.

He had easily tracked them to this location the previous night by using his Sharingan to control a mouse.

Uchiha Tamaharu and his group stood there openly, and Kaku and the others inside the house immediately noticed the few people standing outside their door.

"Pursuers from the World Government?"

"Not the Navy?"

"Members of an intelligence organization?"

"Still, being this blatant is a bit too stupid!"

Kaku, Jabra, Fukuro, and the others didn't care at all about the group of Uchiha standing outside.

After all, the opponents didn't even have guns on them, only a few short swords strapped to their backs—what was there to be concerned about?

"Let me go and take them down."

Jabra said with a grin on his face.

He had been feeling restless these past few days; having to make a living by performing had made him feel a bit rusty in combat.

With that said, he vaulted directly through the window and jumped to the ground floor.

"The World Government still hasn't given up, have they?"

"And you lot are a bit too green. You're all just kids—haven't you heard of our reputation?"

Jabra said in a cavalier tone.

He looked as if he were about to teach some newcomers a lesson.

But immediately, every hair on his body stood on end.

Because he realized that the seven people in front of him had suddenly turned their eyes blood-red, staring straight at him.
