Don't Learn Tekkai

By evening, the procurement of supplies was complete.

They were loaded directly onto the ship.

Uchiha Tamaharu arranged for Inabi, Tekka, and Izumi to leave overnight with the supplies.

Including Uchiha Tamaharu, twenty people remained, consisting of thirteen Three Tomoe and seven Two Tomoe users.

"They move fast; the battle was this morning, and the Navy arrived by evening."

Uchiha Tamaharu commented as he looked at the warships docked at the naval port not far away.

A total of three warships had arrived, which was actually quite a significant force.

However, catching CP9 would be impossible.

"Are you really going to steal a warship to leave?"

"This will cause trouble."

Kalifa frowned as she spoke.

Her Seastone handcuffs had been removed, leaving only Rob Lucci still shackled.

As for the others, Uchiha Tamaharu and Shisui had subdued them in an instant; since the two of them could control them instantly using mental power, they didn't care.

Uchiha Tamaharu didn't want to waste such combat power, which was comparable to jonin.

"The ones stealing the warship are you, what does that have to do with me?"

Uchiha Tamaharu asked, feigning confusion.

Kalifa looked at Uchiha Tamaharu, her chest heaving, until she finally suppressed her anger.

This guy is so despicable!

"It is done."

Before long, Shisui returned.

He had used genjutsu to control the rear admiral in charge, ordering all the marines on the ship and in the base to disembark and conduct a search.

The entire base was essentially empty, with even the cooks having been taken away.

"Let's go."

Uchiha Tamaharu nodded.

He then signaled his clansmen to set off.

Why waste money buying a ship when there were naval warships available?

Kaku and the others were furious but dared not speak.

Rob Lucci was being guarded by two Three Tomoe users, leaving him with basically no chance of rescue.

They had no choice but to follow Uchiha Tamaharu's arrangements.

They seized a warship quite smoothly; it was well-stocked with supplies, so there was no need to waste money.

The members of CP9 were all surprised that the naval base could be so careless, with not a single person left behind to guard the warships.

"This is our target; the Straw Hat Luffy crew should be right here."

Uchiha Tamaharu said to Kaku and the others.

Naturally, they were the ones responsible for sailing the ship, as the Uchiha clan still had many things to learn.

However, they learned quickly because they possessed the Sharingan; what is yours is mine—the move that made Kakashi famous was, after all, the Copy Ninja technique.

Although Kaku and the others were surprised that the steering of the ship was left to them, they were truly eager to catch Straw Hat Luffy, the man who had humiliated them.

Therefore, they didn't play any tricks and remained very cautious.

They had tried to probe for an opening to save Rob Lucci along the way, but they couldn't find any opportunity at all.

The profession of a ninja was no worse than the agents trained by their intelligence organization; in fact, it was even more formidable.

"Ran!"

Uchiha Itachi used the short sword in his hand to slash out a wave of sword energy.

The sword energy cut across the surface of the sea, disappearing after flying less than fifteen meters.

"This move consumes quite a bit of stamina, but if combined with Fire Release, the power should be able to increase, perhaps reaching the level of an A-rank ninjutsu," Uchiha Itachi remarked.

Beside him, Kaku looked on with a numb expression.

Because he had only demonstrated it a few times, this child had already learned one of the Rokushiki, Rankyaku, and had even improved it by using a weapon to release it.

But such things had happened many times over the past few days; the Rokushiki seemed to have no difficulty for these people, and they learned them with ease.

They were even starting to improve upon them already.

"Among these Rokushiki, there's no need to learn Tekkai; it's too stupid."

"Learn whatever else you can, just focus on gaining more experience in taijutsu."

Uchiha Tamaharu was not particularly surprised by this.

After all, the physical constitution of humans in this world was far too formidable, making things quite strenuous for ninjas.

On the way to the Thriller Bark region, he had been arranging for his clansmen to undergo intensive training, starting every morning with high-intensity physical conditioning.

The main goal was to increase their physical fitness.

Once their physical constitution improved, their Chakra could also increase.

Chakra is extracted from the physical energy of cells and spiritual energy.

The Uchiha clan possessed immense spiritual power; once they awakened the Sharingan, their spiritual power would exceed that of an ordinary ninja by two or three times. Now, with their physical fitness increasing, the amount of Chakra they could extract would also grow.

The primary objective was to compensate for the past few years, during which Konoha had essentially imprisoned the Uchiha ninjas, causing many to suffer from a decline in combat effectiveness.

He had to take advantage of this time to help his clansmen recover their strength, or even become stronger than before.

"Yes!"

The others had no objections.

Many of them were eager to become stronger; they never wanted to experience the humiliation of Konoha again.

"What kind of monsters are these!"

"They train every day without ever seeming to get tired."

Jabra, who was wrapped in bandages, felt a deep sense of wariness toward these red-eyed fellows.

"Shut up. Once we finish this mission and capture Straw Hat Luffy, we'll have nothing more to do with them!"

After observing them for several days, Kalifa felt a profound sense of dread toward these people.

Among them, there were too many who were not inferior to their own group.

She felt there were at least two, perhaps even three, who could go toe-to-toe with Rob Lucci.

And Rob Lucci was the greatest genius the CP organization had seen in five hundred years!

She didn't know where these people came from, but to act so unscrupulously, they must have their own confidence.

If she didn't want to be betrayed by them at the very last moment, it was best to behave.

"They must be a very powerful faction; they were even able to track down the whereabouts of Straw Hat Luffy."

"It seems there are many things in this world that we are unaware of."

Kaku walked over and whispered.

Over the past five days, he had felt it most deeply: these people could memorize almost anything, including the notes on various nautical charts.

They had even easily learned the ship-repairing knowledge he had acquired in Water 7.

This was a terrifying talent, and it was present in so many of them.

"Let's prioritize completing the mission to capture Straw Hat Luffy."

Kalifa felt helpless.

Who knew they would run into such monsters?

At this moment, she only hoped that these people would keep their word and let them go when the time came.

They had been sailing on the sea for about eight days.

They passed by Water 7, and along the way, they didn't encounter any Pirates looking to throw their lives away.

They entered the vicinity of Ghost Island smoothly, which was shrouded in thick dark clouds and heavy fog, making it nearly impossible for an ordinary person to see anything beyond a hundred meters.

"Itachi, take ten people and spread out. Search for an island formed by shipwrecks in this fog, and contact me immediately once you find it."

Upon entering the area, Uchiha Tamaharu began issuing orders directly.

The target this time was to capture Luffy.

It would be best to pick up the scraps and make their move after Luffy defeated Moria.

In such a battle, he didn't want the Uchiha to suffer any casualties. After all, everyone's constitution was still too weak; although they were agile, getting hit would mean death or serious injury.

"Yes!"

Itachi naturally had no objections.

He immediately selected ten people, jumped off the ship, and scattered to search for the island Uchiha Tamaharu had described.

The members of CP9 watched in stunned silence.

"They... are they running on the sea?"

Fukuro was shocked.

The other members of CP9 were also dumbfounded as they watched the scene.

Although they could use Geppo to step through the air, this was the first time they had ever seen anyone running on the surface of the ocean!
