In the evening, the supplies were procured.
They were loaded directly onto the ship.
Uchiha Tamahiko arranged for Tetsuhi, Inohi, and Izumi to leave overnight, taking the supplies back.
Including Uchiha Tamahiko, a total of twenty people remained, thirteen with Three Tomoe Sharingan and seven with Two Tomoe Sharingan.
"They move quite fast. The battle was this morning, and the Marine arrived by evening," Uchiha Tamahiko remarked, looking at the warships docked at the Marine's dedicated port not far from the harbor.
Three warships had arrived, which was quite a number.
However, it would be impossible for them to capture CP9.
"Are we really going to seize a warship to leave?"
"This will cause trouble."
Kalifa said, frowning.
Her Sea Stone handcuffs had been removed, only Rob Lucci remained locked up.
As for the others, Uchiha Tamahiko and Shisui subdued them instantly; they could control them with their mental power in a flash, so they weren't concerned.
Uchiha Tamahiko didn't want to waste such fighting power, which rivaled that of Jonin.
"You're the ones seizing the warship, what does it have to do with me?" Uchiha Tamahiko asked, puzzled.
Kalifa looked at Uchiha Tamahiko, her chest heaving, and finally suppressed her anger.
This man was too despicable!
"It's done," Shisui returned shortly after.
He had used genjutsu to control the Rear Admiral leading the fleet, ordering him to take all the Marine soldiers on the ship and in the base ashore for a search.
The entire base was practically empty, even the cooks had been taken away.
"Let's go," Uchiha Tamahiko nodded.
Then he directly called his clansmen to set off.
Why buy a ship when there was a Marine warship available? Wouldn't that be a waste of money!
Kaku and the others were angry but dared not speak.
Rob Lucci was being guarded by two Three Tomoe Sharingan users, so there was virtually no chance of rescue.
They could only follow Uchiha Tamahiko's arrangements.
They successfully seized a warship, which was fully stocked with supplies, eliminating the need to waste money.
The CP9 members were astonished that the Marine base was so careless; there wasn't even a single person left guarding the warship.
"This is our target. Straw Hat and his crew should be here," Uchiha Tamahiko told Kaku and the others.
They were naturally responsible for sailing the ship; the Uchiha Clan still had many things to learn.
But they learned quickly because they all possessed the Sharingan. What's yours is mine, just like Kakashi's famous Copy Ninja technique.
Although Kaku and the others were surprised that even controlling the ship was entrusted to them, they really wanted to capture Straw Hat, the man who had humiliated them.
So they didn't play any tricks and remained very cautious.
However, they did try to rescue Rob Lucci along the way, but found no opportunity whatsoever.
Ninja, as a profession, were not inferior to the agents trained by their intelligence organizations; in fact, they were even more formidable.
"Arashi!" Uchiha Itachi directly unleashed a sword qi with his short sword.
The sword qi sliced across the sea, flying about fifteen meters before disappearing.
"This move consumes a lot of stamina, but if combined with Fire Release, its power should increase, possibly reaching the level of an A-rank Ninjutsu," Uchiha Itachi said.
Kaku, standing beside him, looked numb.
Because Itachi had only demonstrated it a few times, this child had already learned Rankyaku, one of the Six Styles, and even modified it to be released with a weapon.
However, such things had happened many times in the past few days. The Six Styles seemed to pose no difficulty for these people; they learned them with ease.
This one could even be improved upon already.
"Among these Six Styles, don't bother learning Tekkai; it's too foolish."
"Try to learn the others if you can, just to gain some experience in taijutsu," Uchiha Tamahiko said, not too surprised.
After all, the physical fitness of people in this world was too strong, making it challenging for Ninja.
On the way to the Thriller Bark area, he continuously arranged for his clansmen to undergo rigorous training, engaging in high-intensity physical exercise every morning.
The main goal was to improve their physical fitness.
Once physical fitness increased, Chakra could also increase.
Chakra required both cellular body energy and mental energy for extraction.
The Uchiha Clan had strong mental power; as long as they could activate the Sharingan, their mental power would be two to three times that of ordinary Ninja. Now, with increased physical fitness, they could extract even more Chakra.
The most important thing was to compensate for the past few years, during which Konoha had almost imprisoned the Uchiha Ninja, causing many to regress in combat ability.
They needed to use this time to restore their clansmen's strength, and even make them stronger.
"Yes!" The others also had no objections.
Many wanted to become stronger; they didn't want to experience the shame of Konoha again.
"What kind of monsters are these!"
"They train every day and seem to feel no fatigue."
Jabra, with bandages wrapped around him, was extremely wary of these red-eyed guys.
"Shut up. Once this mission is complete and we've captured Straw Hat, we'll have nothing to do with them!" Kalifa had observed them for several days and developed a deep apprehension towards these people.
Among them, too many were not inferior to themselves.
She felt that at least two, possibly even three, could contend with Rob Lucci.
Rob Lucci was the strongest genius in the CP organization in five hundred years!
She didn't know where these people came from, but acting so recklessly, they must have their own assurances.
If they didn't want to be betrayed by the other party at the last minute, it was best to be obedient.
"They should be a very powerful force, and they can even track Straw Hat's whereabouts."
"It seems there are many things in this world that we don't understand," Kaku walked over and whispered.
Over the past five days, he had felt it most deeply: these people could remember almost anything, including explanations on navigation charts and so on.
Even the ship repair knowledge he learned in Water Seven was easily picked up by them.
This was a terrifying talent he felt, and there were so many of them.
"Let's prioritize completing the mission to capture Straw Hat," Kalifa said helplessly.
Who knew they would encounter such monsters?
At this moment, she only hoped that these people would keep their promise and release them when the time came.
They sailed at sea for approximately eight days.
After passing Water Seven, they didn't encounter any pirates offering themselves up along the way.
They smoothly entered the vicinity of Thriller Bark, which was shrouded in dark clouds and thick fog, making it almost impossible for ordinary people to see beyond a hundred meters.
"Itachi, take ten people and spread out. Search for an island formed by shipwrecks in this fog. Contact me immediately once you find it," Uchiha Tamahiko began to arrange as soon as they entered the area.
The goal this time was to capture Luffy.
It would be best to directly take advantage of the situation and act after Luffy defeated Moriah.
He didn't want the Uchiha to suffer any casualties in such a battle, as everyone's physique was still too weak; although agile, being hit meant either death or serious injury.
"Yes!" Itachi naturally had no objections.
He immediately selected ten people, jumped off the ship, and dispersed to search for the island Uchiha Tamahiko had mentioned.
CP9 and the others watched, dumbfounded.
"They're... running on the sea?" Fukurou was shocked.
The other CP9 members also stared in disbelief at the scene.
Although they could use Moonwalk to traverse the air, running on seawater was something they had never seen before!
