After some discussion, everyone finally decided on the plan.

In the following days, hard and boring special training was carried out on the secret island.

Naruto further improved his strength by focusing on training ninjutsu; Zoro immersed himself in sword moves and continued to improve his swordsmanship; while Luffy and Nami continued to hone their tacit understanding so that they could work closely together at critical moments.

After a period of special training, the Straw Hat Pirates felt that they had become stronger.

The Straw Hat Pirates arrived at the mysterious and magical Phantom Castle. They excitedly looked around this exotic place.

The city is covered by thick clouds, giving people a sense of being suspended in the air, as if they are in a fairyland.

Luffy quickly walked over to Nami.

"Nami, look, there are so many 250 strange and bizarre things here!"

He pointed to an old glass shop, which was filled with various exquisite glass crafts.

Nami smiled and nodded.

"Yeah, Luffy, it seems that coming to Phantom City was a wise decision. It's more interesting here than anywhere else."

Naruto watched the people walking on the street with great interest.

"Wow, these people seem so mysterious."

He pinched the tail in his hand.

"I really can't wait to learn more about the Holy Land of Mary Geoise."

Usopp suddenly walked in front of everyone excitedly.

"Everyone, look! I just got some valuable information!"

He carried a large assortment of maps and documents slung across his back.

"These are all clues to the holy land of Marijoa. We can now continue our journey."

Everyone gathered together and looked at the information in Usopp's hand.

Nami walked up and whispered beside Usopp.

"You did a great job, Usopp. You always bring some surprises and hope."

Tasha flew over and circled in the air.

"It seems you are very interested in the Holy Land of Mary Geoise. That place is full of mysteries and dangers, but I believe you have the strength to deal with it."

The Straw Hat Pirates decided to leave Phantom City as soon as possible and head towards the holy land of Marijoa.

Chapter 257 The Man in Black Robe

After leaving Phantom City, everyone came to a small town outside Phantom City.

The small town is located at the foot of a huge mountain and is surrounded by lush forests. It is very quiet and peaceful.

The Straw Hat Pirates found an inn in the town to rest and discuss their next plan.

Naruto took out the map and unfolded it on the table.

"According to this map, we need to cross a dangerous sea to reach the holy land of Marijoa."

He pointed to a surging ocean.

"And there's also the Dark Night Organization causing trouble nearby."

Zoro picked up the knife and sharpened it on the whetstone in his hand.

"Dark Night Organization? Sounds powerful."

He narrowed his eyes, revealing a hint of excitement for battle.

"However, how can I, an ordinary person like me, be afraid of them?"

Nami was playing with a sea shell that had a story behind it.

"Both the Dark Night Organization and the navigation route are issues we must face and resolve. As long as we work together, we will definitely find the safest route to the Holy Land of Mary Geoise."

Just as he finished speaking, the door of the inn quietly opened a crack, and a mysterious and threatening voice came out from the crack.

"Are you going to the holy land of Mary Geoise?"

Everyone immediately looked vigilantly in the direction of the sound, only to see a man in a black robe walking out of the darkness.

The black robe covered his entire body, leaving only a pair of sharp eyes exposed.

Luffy stood up and stared at the mysterious man warily.

"Who are you? Why are you concerned about our trip to the Holy Land of Mary Geoise?"

The mysterious man smiled.

"I am the leader of the Dark Night Organization."

He took a step closer and spoke in a strong voice.

"I have information on the safest route to the holy land of Marijoa."

When everyone heard this, their hearts moved. They wanted to know how to reach the holy land of Mary Geoise smoothly and safely.

Naruto walked forward and looked down at the mysterious leader.

"What do you want? We won't trust you easily."

He clenched his fists, his aura gradually rising, in case the other party had any conspiracy.

The mysterious leader smiled slightly and stretched his hand into the darkness behind him.

"I need you to help me get some valuable supplies."

Usopp asked in surprise.

"Precious supplies? Where do you want us to collect them?"

The mysterious leader pointed towards a small patch of grassland.

"On this grassland, there is a rare plant called the Royal Flower. It has powerful healing properties and is an important medicinal material that my organization urgently needs."

Nami's eyes sparkled with interest.

"Shall we go gather these royal flowers then?"

She was very interested in the herb that could heal wounds.

The mysterious leader nodded.

"Yes, if you succeed in obtaining the Royal Flower, I will show you the safest route to the holy land of Marijoa."

Naruto thought for a moment before looking at Nami and the other members.

"Let's accept his mission. This way we can help them and get intelligence at the same time."

He did not forget that every adventure is an opportunity.

Nami smiled at Naruto and nodded, signaling everyone to accept the mission.

Everyone agreed and decided to go look for the royal flower.

When leaving the inn, the mysterious leader hid in the darkness again.

His figure disappeared without a trace, leaving only a trace of coldness lingering in everyone's hearts.

"Be careful of the Dark Night Organization."

Luffy reminded everyone.

Everyone walked along the path leading to Silent Bay, each immersed in their own thoughts.

They were both excited and nervous about the Dark Night Organization's mission.

After all, this was their first contact with this mysterious force.

When they arrived at Silent Bay, a peaceful and tranquil scene came into view.

In the middle of the bay is a beautiful and quiet pool, the water surface is as smooth as a mirror, reflecting the surrounding scenery.

There are some strange and beautiful flowers scattered along the shore, swaying gently in the breeze.

As everyone walked along the lake, a friction sound suddenly occurred.

Naruto turned around suddenly and saw several dark figures appearing on the shimmering lake.

"careful!"

He shouted loudly. Everyone immediately entered combat mode, using various skills such as tornadoes and rocket launchers, drawing beautiful arcs in the air.

But the shadows dodged all attacks and quickly pounced forward.

The shadows rapidly enlarged, gradually revealing their true identities: Kidd and his men.

"Hahaha!"

Kidd scoffed, his face full of disdain.

"Is this the legendary Straw Hat Pirates? This is ridiculous."

Zoro gritted his teeth and swung his sword, stabbing Kidd.

But Kidd easily avoided the attack and counterattacked fiercely with the knife in his hand.

Seeing that the situation was not good, Naruto quickly rushed towards Kidd.

In the flash of light and shadow, the two men exchanged punches and kicks several times.

"Do you think you can rebel against the World Government?"

Kidd sneered.

"You are so naive."

Naruto said firmly as he stared into the other's eyes.

"We will do our best."

The battle unfolded in Silent Bay, and the confrontation between the Straw Hat Pirates and Kidd was extremely fierce.

Naruto and Zoro joined the battle. Although they felt tremendous pressure from Kidd, they would never give up easily.

Naruto's entire body glowed with a fiery red light as a clone jutsu appeared beside him, creating a blow that seemed to split the heavens and earth.

Naruto jumped up from the ground, his powerful aura extremely fierce.

He was determined to protect this world.

"Luffy, Zoro! We have to team up to take down Kidd!"

Naruto's voice was filled with determination, inspiring boundless fighting spirit within them.

Luffy raised his eyebrows and gave a wicked yet confident smile.

"Of course! We're the Straw Hat Pirates!"

Zoro swung the three-sword sword technique, and cold light splashed everywhere.

"That's right! No matter how powerful the enemy is, they can't stop us from pursuing the path to freedom!"

The tornado rose up and roared towards Kidd.

Rocket launchers attacked Kidd and his men from all directions.

Suo (Le Li) Long's swordsmanship is as oppressive as a hurricane, enough to scare people away.

Kidd was not scared by the fierce attack of the Straw Hat Pirates. He sneered.

"Don't be so self-righteous. You are still too weak."

The sea suddenly became turbulent, and the seemingly calm bay gradually became turbulent.

Luffy, Zoro, and Naruto kept a close eye on the changing situation, but remained unmoved.

"We must join forces to fight back!"

Luffy shouted.

He bit his lower lip, and the signs that the black developing fruit was about to be activated were clearly visible.

The whirlpool created a roar like a whale's roar, as if the entire Silent Bay was shaking.

& Suddenly, two black hands slashed down, and the entire Bay Harbor was plunged into darkness.
