It's a pity I can't learn it yet.

The reason is quite simple: the intensity of Observation Haki is not strong enough.

Even the Flow expression and Internal Destruction of Armament Haki require a certain level of Armament Haki strength to support them, let alone Observation Haki's Future Sight.

Even the chosen one King Luffy, spent two years building a solid foundation and went through several rounds of fierce battles with powerful enemies before meeting the requirements for learning.

Naito's Observation Haki is far superior to that of ordinary people, but he has only Awakening for a short time and still needs some time to accumulate experience.

Therefore, it is even more important to train Observation Haki now.

Just as Naito was engrossed in his practice, Zephyr strode onto the deck. "Stop, everyone!"

"Professor Zephyr?"

Vice Admiral Simon was drinking tea in the shadows of the cabin, put down his teacup, his eyes showing some surprise.

"Prepare for battle!"

Zephyr took a deep breath. "We've found traces of that group."

"Did you finally find it?"

Rear Admiral Marcus was also exercising, wiped the sweat from his brow.

"They're probably on Pirate Island replenishing supplies,"

Zephyr said, "The government has already informed the Charlotte Family and the Beasts Pirates immediately, and those two groups should be there soon."

"The Charlotte Family's side consists of Charlotte Katakuri, Charlotte Cracker, Charlotte Oven, and Charlotte Daifuku, along with many mid-level executives. The Beasts Pirates' side is somewhat weaker, but the Wildfire and the Plague have also mobilized, along with some of their top lieutenants."

"Our chance will come when they start fighting each other on all three fronts!"

"I have a question, Professor Zephyr,"

Commodore Doll raised his hand and asked, "What if the three of them unite against us? After all, they are pirates, while we are the Marines."

"So, let's wait until the right opportunity arises."

Naito opened his eyes.

Okay, let's begin.

Chapter Thirty-Seven: Charlotte! Luna VS Katakuri!

Pirate Island.

The pirates carried large and small bags of supplies onto the ship.

Luna stood on the shore, gazing quietly at the clear blue sea.

"It should be here soon, right?"

Anthony squatted on the shore, holding a bottle of rum and taking two gulps.

Having drunk so much fine wine in that world, occasionally sipping some cheap liquor has a unique charm.

"The Charlotte Family and the Beasts Pirates? I never imagined I'd have the chance to fight these monsters!"

Standing beside him was Salt, though standing, was still a head shorter than Anthony. The chubby man had a smirk on his face.

"Even I'm getting a little excited!"

Even if Kaido and Charlotte Linlin, those two monsters, don't come in person, the top officers under their command are already figures they once looked up to.

Anthony glanced sideways at the guy who was spouting nonsense.

He'd already packed it up; if it weren't for Lord Night King backing him up, this guy would probably have run away faster than anyone else.

"Boss Anthony!"

A voice, both excited and apprehensive, suddenly came from behind.

"Um?"

Anthony turned around in surprise.

A group of people approached from behind.

They must be a group of pirates, led by a man with a fawning expression.

"I am Boxer Box, captain of the Boxing Pirates, with a bounty of 96 million Beli!"

The man stepped forward excitedly, "Please let us join Lord World's ranks!"

"Oh?"

Anthony raised an eyebrow slightly.

It's not some incomprehensible world.

In the world of pirates, besides the scheming and infighting among themselves, following the strong is an instinct ingrained in the bones of many pirates.

Anthony's eyes suddenly lit up. He abruptly stood up and looked at Luna, who was gazing at the horizon. "Miss Luna," he said, "I think it's acceptable for them to follow us. After all, they are a fighting force."

Salt raised an eyebrow slightly, revealing a mocking smile.

That guy is really wicked.

Luna didn't turn her head, but calmly said, "Okay."

Did you hear that?

Anthony smiled gently. "From today onwards, you are our subordinates!"

"Yes!"

The man, who called himself Boxer Box, trembled with excitement.

Only after witnessing the vastness of the New World did I truly understand my own powerlessness.

So, since I'm powerless, I might as well follow behind those who are able to reach the top!

Anthony's smile widened. "Are there any other people like you on the island?"

"Of course!"

Box said excitedly, "But they're all still undecided. I'll go and call them all over for you!"

Then, about ten minutes later...

Anthony stood on the rooftop of a house, raising his arms and shouting, "Follow us! From this day forward, we will share joys and sorrows, until we reach the summit of the sea!"

"Oh!!"

Below, the pirates gathered here were shouting excitedly.

Salt was not far away, couldn't help but laugh.

It's no wonder he comes from a bureaucratic background; he's definitely got a knack for shouting slogans.

It got these pirates all fired up.

However, to be fair, there are indeed quite a few pirates who want to rise to the top in one step. In just over ten minutes, including the Boxing Pirates, a total of four pirate crews were willing to follow them, with a total number of more than five hundred people.

Of course, that only considers the number of people; Box already has the highest bounty among these guys.

There was even a pirate captain with a bounty of less than fifty million.

Don't assume the New World is devoid of weaklings. In fact, pirates with bounties exceeding 100 million are considered quite formidable in the New World.

Of course, it doesn't matter if you're weak, right? You're getting it all for free anyway.

"They've arrived."

Luna's voice suddenly rang out.

Salt, who had been all smiles, suddenly tensed up, his gaze abruptly fixed on the distant scene.

In the distance, between the two crescent moons, a massive pink pirate ship crashed through the waves!

"Has it finally arrived?"

Anthony, on the rooftop, took a deep breath and clenched his fist, which was covered by a glove.

On the deck of a ship by the shore, Buckingham stood on the deck of her mentally challenged son, while the old woman shouted, "They're here! Get ready!"

Behind the mother and child, the fugitives were already on high alert.

Bandi World, who had been soundly asleep on the deck, stood up and calmly watched the large ship approaching. "It's here."

"Lord Night King!"

Meanwhile, the pirates on the island also noticed the ship.

"That's— the Queen Mama Chanter? The flagship of the Big Mom Pirates?"

"It's definitely the flag of the Big Mom Pirates! The Charlotte Family has arrived!!"

"What on earth is going on today! First it was World, and now even Charlotte Linlin has come in person?"

"Run! Whether Charlotte Linlin is here or not, there must be monsters on the ship!"

As everyone knows, Charlotte Linlin is a ruthless character who would destroy a country for a single sweet treat.

This island may not have any famous desserts, but isn't that even more terrifying?

The four pirate crews that had chosen to join Lord World's crew were also quite terrified, because they had clearly heard Lord Anthony say...

"Prepare for battle, my men!"

Ready for battle?

Box watched the ship draw ever closer on the sea, he couldn't help but swallow hard.

He asked somewhat hesitantly, "Lord Anthony, are we going to war with the Charlotte Family?"

"How?"

Anthony lowered his head, his previously amiable expression suddenly turning cold. "We agreed to share both joy and sorrow. Are you going to go back on your word?"

The pirates were immediately filled with despair.

We were supposed to share joys and sorrows, but I didn't get to experience any of the joys, and the sorrows were just too much!

These are the Charlotte Family!

How could Anthony be so mean!

On the large ship that was rapidly approaching the shore, Katakuri stood at the bow, his gaze fixed on the tall figure on the bank.

Behind him stood a tall, burly man carrying a longsword and shield— Charlotte Cracker, the tenth son of the Charlotte Family, or rather, Cracker encased in biscuit armor.

On either side are Katakuri's twin brothers, Charlotte Oven and Charlotte Daifuku.

Behind them were some younger siblings, who were already capable of handling things on their own as family leaders.

"Lunarian Tribe,"

Although Cracker was hiding inside his biscuit armor, his eyesight was still quite good, and he spotted the figure on the shore at a glance. "Heh heh, is this woman as troublesome as that guy Jhin?"

Although Cracker hadn't fought the Beasts Pirates much, he knew just how powerful Kaido's second-in-command was.
