One Piece: Start as a mythical beast, practice to become stronger.

One day later.

In the sky, three figures seemed to blend with the clouds, floating silently with the wind, quietly following the official ship in the churning waves below against the backdrop of the azure sky.

"Are all the people in CP like this?" Tian Yue Shi asked.

After following this group of people for a day, she clearly understood what kind of stuff they were made of.

In short, these people do everything except good deeds; there's nothing they haven't done.

"Spandam, he really is capable of anything to get promoted."

Jin An's eyes narrowed slightly; he severely overestimated the lower limits of these CP department members who worked for the World Government.

Assassination, robbery, framing, and silencing are just the simplest tools in CP, readily used by these people, completely disregarding the lives of those they target.

They truly embody the phrase 'the end justifies the means'......

The three in the air maintained a consistent speed and distance from the ship below.

"They're going to stop at the island ahead," Kuzan said, seeing Spandam ordering the crew to dock.

"It seems this is where they're meeting the pirates," Tian Yue Shi said, looking at the island ahead. "This island is quite large; aren't they afraid of being discovered if they trade in a place like this?"

She saw signs of life on the island, wondering what these CP9 guys were thinking.

Suddenly...

Tian Yue Shi pointed in another direction of the island and said, "Jin An, look quickly!"

On the edge of the island, Jin An and the others stood on a high cliff, gazing into the distance.

The sky turned from azure to gray, and an uneasy agitation spread across the sea.

In the distance, a dark cloud approached, but it wasn't the prelude to a storm; instead, it was dozens of pirate ships galloping fiercely and powerfully, the menacing skull flags on their sails fluttering in the sea breeze.

The shadows of the pirate ship fleet gradually formed a dense black barrier on the horizon, like an unavoidable storm approaching this once-peaceful harbor.

Each pirate ship was larger than a Navy warship, creating towering waves when moving together.

Jin An stood at the forefront, his gaze as sharp as a sword, piercing through the distant haze.

"What pirate group is this, moving with so many ships?"

Every inch of his body was tense, ready to face the upcoming battle.

Kuzan was also a little excited; it had been a long time since he had seen a pirate group of this scale, and he was already eager to try.

At such a moment, psychological unease was an emotion that had to be discarded, so he took a deep breath, trying to calm the surging waves in his heart.

Tian Yue Shi was in a state of extreme excitement, stroking the long sword in her hand.

None of them spoke, but they were all adjusting their mindsets and gathering their fighting spirit in their own ways.

Their eyes revealed a look of excitement; even when facing hundreds of times more enemies than themselves, there was no fear in their hearts.

The only thing they possessed was absolute confidence in their own strength!

"No matter what pirate group it is, we'll kill as many as come," Kuzan licked his lips, a hint of bloodlust flashing in his eyes.

In the surging waves, the pirate ships cleaved through the water.

As the pirate ship fleet drew closer, the details of the pirate group began to become clear.

The merciless sunlight scattered silver arrows, illuminating the high-flying flags.

In an instant, Jin An's brow jumped, and his heart was filled with joy—those weren't ordinary pirate flags.

"Our luck isn't bad......"

The pirate ships in front of them were the target they had been searching for all this time, the notorious Yotamaria Pirates.

Instantly, their hearts beat furiously, each impact echoing in his chest.

"It's all come without any effort..." Kuzan was even more excited.

He also recognized the symbol on the flag at that moment, and the muscles on his face tightened.

Perhaps they would be the first team to complete the mission this time......

Their enemy, the target of their trip, was right in front of them.

......

Inside the island.

The air was filled with the islanders' fear and timidity.

Sharp warnings pierced the island's peace, and along with the roar of the waves and the sea breeze, the slowly approaching black sails crashed against the islanders' hearts like surging undercurrents.

The men, women, and children on the island were stunned by the appearance of these uninvited guests, staring in disbelief at the sea that turned nightmares into reality.

"The pirates are here!"

"Quick, find a place to hide!"

The women hurriedly took their children and scrambled to find hiding places, their wide eyes reflecting the approaching black silhouettes.

The children sensed the adults' panic, and their cries rose and fell, their little hands tightly clutching their mothers' skirts, their little faces full of confusion and fear.

"Sea God, please show your power and save us, your devout believers."

People trembled their lips, muttering ancient prayers, their sorrowful eyes fixed on the vast sea, as if seeking the protection of the Sea God.

"Brothers, take up your weapons and fight those pirates!"

The able-bodied men who shouldered the responsibility of guarding the peace were preparing tools for self-defense, exchanging bloodless glances, and although there were no words between them, their eyes revealed a common firmness.

Resisting means death, and not resisting also means death; they would rather die with some backbone.

Emotions spread rapidly across the island like ignited tinder.

In the chaos, people began to organize quickly, and although their hearts trembled, they were willing to pay any price to survive.

The islanders' gazes sometimes stared at the distant, cold sea, and sometimes swept across the faces of their compatriots, and although there was fear, there was more of a determination not to lose everything.

A heavy atmosphere enveloped everyone's heart, the sea breeze seemed to become more fierce, and the air was full of tension and uncertainty.

......

Suddenly, the sky, which was just clear and cloudless, was covered by suddenly surging dark clouds, instantly dyeing the azure sky into ink.

Lightning flashed, jumped, and twisted in the clouds.

The ensuing thunder tore through the air, and the roars, like the roar of a god, made the people on the island feel unprecedented panic.

People's faces, like the sky, became gray and unclear.

They stopped their hasty movements and looked up at the sky.

Could it be that their prayers had worked?

Had the Sea God really manifested?

......

"What's the situation?"

Oronbus pushed open the hatch and stared at the suddenly changing weather.

"Is this island so evil? The weather changes faster than in the New World."

Oronbus looked around, "Never mind, it's just a change in the weather. Bring the goods, the others should be getting impatient."

"Admiral, we are ready and can set off at any time!"

"Then let's go..."

"Where do you think you're going?"

A voice came from the sails: "You should just stay here."
