One Piece meme: Starting with eight extraordinary skills

"It was just a small matter." Kalifa laughed heartily, her chest heaving. "The captain is a man of great wisdom, not a petty person. You don't need to take it to heart."

Xiu Zuo was an honest man, so he quickly buried his head in his food, pretending not to see the delicious scene in front of him.

Binz's eyes widened, and he immediately felt a rush of heat to his head. He raised his hand to touch the tip of his nose, only to find his hand covered in blood. He quickly wiped it away.

Everyone knows that personal secretaries work during the day and at night.

After the meal, everyone met up with Tina, Jonathan, and the others, as arranged by Kalifa.

During the day, when Yang Ming greeted everyone, the two sides met once.

At that time, Tina and Jonathan were simply wearing standard naval uniforms and nothing special about them.

At this moment, however, things are completely different.

Ain and the others' eyes lit up as they looked everyone up and down at the new equipment they were wearing.

The 50 naval soldiers directly under Sergeant Xiu En, in addition to carrying a gun on their shoulder and a standard-issue military knife at their waist, each wore a tactical belt with various shells on it.

Since Ain and the others had joined the team temporarily, Tina couldn't show favoritism and handed them the same tactical belts and shells, explaining:

"This is a sound shell, which enables short-range communication."

"This is a lamp holder, which can adjust its light source and can be used as a lighting tool."

"This is a flash shell, used to enhance illumination during an assault, thereby temporarily blinding the enemy."

"This is a jet-powered shell, installed under the feet, which allows ordinary soldiers to use Moonwalk and Shave."

"This is an impact shell, capable of unleashing a powerful impact in a short instant."

In addition to these five types of seashells, Tina, Jonathan, and Sergeant Shuen also wear strange clouds on their bodies, namely the Surprise Cloud, Rope Cloud, Swamp Cloud, and Iron Cloud.

These four unique clouds were equipment possessed by Enel's four high priests. They were seized after Enel defeated and captured by Yang Ming. Even on Skypiea, they were rare items and not easy to find. Yang Ming bestowed them upon his subordinates to enhance their combat capabilities.

Jonathan glanced down at his watch and said:

"It's getting late, let's hurry up and get going."

As newcomers to the team, Ain and his two companions naturally didn't say much. They followed the main group and rode on the Water Seven's unique Blue Water Beasts, navigating through the streets and alleys of the city's waterways.

Compared to the bustling north, the south appears much more spacious.

Water City wasn't originally this large; it only covered the northern part. There was no land here originally. It was only due to the annual storm season and the tsunamis that the sediment from the seabed was deposited and settled here, gradually forming this alluvial plain. People gradually settled here.

Because the southern region is low-lying, buildings are prone to flooding during high tide, and low-rise houses may even be submerged. As a result, the further south you go, the more sparsely populated and dark the area becomes.

Thanks to its environment, this place has become a hiding place for many pirates, and many vicious pirates operate here.

Chapter 143 Love can create everything, and it can also destroy everything...

Night fell over Water City, with only the bright moon casting a faint light. The earth was pitch black, with only the occasional chirping of insects and the croaking of frogs.

The southern part of Water City is mostly industrial area with few residents. Late at night, you can occasionally see stray cats and dogs rummaging through trash cans for food.

A series of light footsteps approached from afar, immediately startling the stray cats and dogs foraging nearby. They quickly scurried into the building's shelter, only peeking out their heads, their eyes gleaming eerily in the darkness, appearing extremely unsettling.

Tina and Jonathan led the way, followed closely by dozens of fully armed naval soldiers.

Since Edward Wilbur killed the group of students led by Head Instructor Zephyr two years ago, it seems to have left a deep psychological scar on the old man, and he has not yet healed his psychological trauma. When he was teaching this class of students, he did not give Ain and Binz any overly difficult tasks.

Perhaps it was precisely because of this lack of experience that both Ain and Binz seemed somewhat nervous.

Under the dim streetlights, the outline of the abandoned shipyard gradually emerged in the deep darkness of the night.

A dock is a type of structure used for building and repairing ships. When filled with water, it can accommodate ships coming and going, and when drained, it can be used to repair and build ships on a dry bottom.

Generally speaking, docks can be divided into three types: dry docks, water-filled docks, and floating docks.

The abandoned shipyard ahead is a dry dock, which is also the most common type of shipyard.

Dry docks are located on tidal coasts where people use the rise and fall of water levels to raise and lower ships. At high tide, ships are led into a pit surrounded by dock walls on three sides. At low tide, ships sit on pre-set supports, and then the gaps are sealed with embankments for repair work. When a ship leaves the pit, the embankments are removed, and it leaves the pit at high tide.

The Seven Waters boasts the world's most developed shipbuilding industry, and the competition among shipbuilding companies here is also the most intense. Every now and then, new shipbuilding companies emerge, while poorly managed ones decline and go bankrupt.

This abandoned shipyard belongs to a bankrupt shipbuilding company, but because no one is willing to take it over, it has been abandoned here for several years.

Over time, this place became a gathering place for many petty thugs and hooligans, who made it their safe haven.

Nowadays, this place has been noticed by many foreign pirates and has become a place for them to discuss matters.

At the entrance to the abandoned shipyard, a dozen or so pirates with unconventional hairstyles stood guard, looking completely nonchalant and chatting lewdly about things between men and women.

Standing in the corner, after listening to their pointless conversation for a while, Ain couldn't help but spit out a curse inwardly:

"How disgusting!"

Tina, being a woman herself, appeared much calmer, though the furrowed brows revealed her considerable dissatisfaction.

Tina gestured a tactical hand signal to the group, and, worried that Ain, Binz, and Xiu Zuo might not understand, whispered:

"Let's climb over the wall and get in."

With that, Tina leaped into the air, her feet lightly touching the ground. She skillfully used the Navy's Six Styles Moonwalk, leaping up like a nimble deer and gracefully flipping into the dock.

Immediately afterwards, the three of them saw the naval soldiers take out wind-blowing shells from their tactical belts, attach them to the bottom of their boots, and then slowly exhale gas from their feet, lifting them into the air.

"It's amazing!"

This was the first time that the seashells from the Sky Island had such a wonderful use. While they were amazed, they didn't stop working and followed suit.

The dock was empty, and many pirates had already arrived.

Tina and her group slowed their footsteps, hiding behind the building's cover, their eyes scanning the pirates present.

Like many aspiring naval admirals, Ain naturally memorized every wanted poster and could immediately recognize the identities of many pirates with a single glance.

The young man with a middle-part hairstyle and a headscarf tied around his forehead was playing with a sharp dagger in his hand and talking quietly to the person next to him. This pirate was known as the Executioner. He was the captain of the Rossio Pirates from the North Blue and had a bounty of 4200 million Berries.

Not far from him, a burly middle-aged man was drinking a jug of fine wine. He wore a captain's hat with a crescent moon on his head, and his bared teeth revealed a row of sharp fangs. He was Crescent Moon, the captain of the Great Helmet Pirates, with a bounty of 3600 million Berries.

The two orc duo from the Snow Country showed no interest in talking to the others. They stood alone in a corner, each with a huge sniper rifle slung over their shoulder. Covered in thick fur, they remained vigilant. They were the Snow Mountain Brothers, Locke and Scochi, who had risen to fame as Snow Mountain assassins in recent years. Their combined bounty was 5000 million Berries.

A dark-skinned, chubby man who looks remarkably like Luffy is sitting cross-legged on the ground, happily eating a piece of grilled meat in one hand. This man is named Dimar Black, known as the Fraudster, with a bounty of 1700 million Berries.

Among this group was a red-nosed clown, dressed in a somewhat flamboyant clown costume. Yet, none of the people present dared to underestimate him; even Ain's expression turned serious, and he thought to himself:

"Buggy the Clown, a former crew member of Captain Roger, the Pirate King. I never expected that even such a big shot would appear here."

"Looks like tonight's mission is going to be very difficult!"

Ain gripped the hilt of the knife tightly, and beads of sweat appeared on her palms.

After finishing a bottle of rum, Crescent Moon, captain of the Great Helmet Pirates, got a little tipsy and yelled at Buggy the Clown:

"Bucky, didn't you say you called us all here tonight to discuss an alliance and plot Captain John's treasure? Now that everyone's here, you should have something to say, right?"

Bucky the Clown glanced down at his watch, secretly calculating that Tina and the others should have already infiltrated the abandoned shipyard as planned. He chuckled and said:

"To be honest, I was lying to you. I never intended to form an alliance with you."

Upon hearing this, all the pirates showed their displeasure.

They traveled a long way to get here because of Buggy the Clown's status in the underworld, hoping that under his leadership, they could unite as one and compete with other pirate crews.

But now, something's not right!

"boom!"

Smashing his empty wine bottle to the ground, Captain Crescent Moon of the Great Helmet Pirates glared maliciously at Buggy the Clown and sneered:

"Bucky, are you kidding us?"

Many pirates and assassins, including the captain of the Rossio Pirates, either drew their swords or pointed their guns at Buggy the Clown.

The atmosphere changed abruptly, and conflict erupted.

A chilling atmosphere permeated the scene.

Bucky the Clown remained completely unfazed; in fact, he almost laughed.

This wasn't the first time he'd done something like this.

As the saying goes, practice makes perfect.

Bucky the Clown shrugged, a mocking expression on his face, and said:

"Sorry, I'm undercover."

Undercover?

What undercover?

Captain Crescent Moon of the Great Helmet Pirates reacted slowly and before he could react, he suddenly heard a scream coming from behind him.

When he turned around, he saw a group of sailors rushing in like wolves, killing and hacking at anyone they saw.

In no time, half of the pirates he had brought were lying in pools of blood.

Dimar Black trembled with rage, pointing a finger at Bucky the Joker and shouting:

"Buggy, you're a legendary pirate, why are you willing to serve as the Navy's lackey?"

"There's nothing I can do, I have to make a living too."

Bucky the Clown's answer sent blood pressure soaring, making you want to rub him to the ground repeatedly.

Without a doubt, if we're talking about who was the most hated on the scene, it would definitely be Bucky the Joker.

Even though the Navy had already broken in, many pirates, including Captain Crescent of the Helmet Pirates, still wanted to kill that bastard Buggy the Clown before leaving.

"Die to me!"

The captain of the Great Helmet Pirates wielded a heavy sword and slashed down with tremendous force, producing a piercing sound as it cut through the air.

Bucky the Clown appeared unable to dodge in time and was sliced ​​in two by the cleaver.

However, no blood splattered when the blade entered the body.

Bucky the Clown's split body floated in mid-air, a slight smile playing on his lips as he said mockingly:

"Oh dear, did you not eat enough? You're not energetic enough!"

"Damn it!"

Seeing this, the pirates all knew that the other party was a Devil Fruit user and was not afraid of swords and guns at all.
