Grand Line:
"Atle McClane, I want to take all the armaments that I stored in your warehouse. Please arrange it for me!"
Umit, the King of Shipping, called Atle McClane, the current King of Warehouses.
Although the order from the Infinite Pirates had not been explicitly given to him, he was aware of some internal news regarding the Infinite Pirates. Therefore, even without a direct command, he still wanted to align himself with the actions of the Infinite Pirates to prove his loyalty.
"Hahaha, no problem, Umit! As usual, I'll have the goods delivered to you at those old spots in the Four Seas!"
"However, I recently acquired a batch of armaments. If you can handle it, we can sell them to you."
As a Warlord placed by the Infinite Pirates, Atle McClane was naturally aware of the current movements of the Infinite Pirates, so he decided to go along with it.
"No problem, I can take as many as you have. There are too many places where wars are happening lately; armaments will never go unsold!"
Umit agreed without any hesitation. The armaments from the Infinite Pirates were never a concern for sales; they would never be left on his hands, and there was no way he would incur losses!
On Baldigo Island:
"Dragon, good news, tremendous news! The CP Organization members who have always posed a huge obstacle and caused great casualties to our Revolutionary Army—their training base has been wiped out by the Infinite Pirates and the Flying Pirates!"
"Now is the golden period for our vigorous development!"
Ivankov began to cheer excitedly.
"That's right! The Infinite Pirates and the World Government are currently in conflict; this is the best opportunity for us to develop. You all start taking action!"
"Remember to purchase more armaments from the Infinite Pirates, but the trading locations have changed. You'll need to go to those few places for transactions."
Dragon would not miss such a prime opportunity for rise. The Self-brave Army was still not strong enough; they had to do everything possible to grow in the shortest time!
South Sea, Faris Island: At the port, a vice-admiral level warship arrived.
"Vice Admiral Borsalino, we have arrived at Faris Island. Please give your orders!"
While Borsalino was leisurely sipping coffee, a colonel respectfully approached him.
"Have we arrived? Then let's set off. Surround Guzman Street and do not allow anyone to enter or exit!"
Borsalino pointed at the map on the table. According to the Navy's intelligence, the trading post of the Infinite Pirates was located on this street.
"Understood!"
As Borsalino issued the command, the entire crew of the warship quickly sprang into action. Borsalino moved even faster, transforming into a streak of golden light and disappearing from the ship, swiftly heading towards Guzman Street.
Upon arriving at Guzman Street, Borsalino did not immediately reveal himself but carefully observed the street, trying to locate the trading post of the Infinite Pirates and those selling goods for them.
"Strange, why is this street so empty?"
However, after searching around, Borsalino found nothing.
"Hello there, young lady, I would like to—"
Realizing something was off, Borsalino saw a young, beautiful girl and smiled as he approached, gently trying to inquire about the situation on the street.
"Ah!!!"
"Creepy old man!!!"
However, Borsalino's self-assumed gentle smile and voice appeared utterly creepy to the girl. Before he could finish his sentence, she was so frightened that she hurriedly ran away! "Am I creepy? I'm clearly a handsome guy!"
Watching the girl flee in terror, Borsalino unconsciously stroked his chin, deep in thought.
Many bystanders witnessed this scene, their lips twitching involuntarily, and they quietly distanced themselves, fearing others would think they were associated with that creepy man!
Seeing how bewildered others were by him, Borsalino decided not to attract attention anymore. Instead, he waited for the Navy to arrive and surround the area, letting his subordinates investigate. As a vice-admiral, how could he toil so hard to investigate such matters only to be met with confusion?
The Navy arrived quickly, surrounding the entire street and beginning their investigation.
"Report, Vice Admiral Borsalino, we have not found any members of the Infinite Pirates."
"According to nearby residents, there were indeed many merchants selling various novel items here, but those merchants left two days ago!"
The colonel reported the findings to Borsalino.
"How terrifying! The Infinite Pirates received news in advance and evacuated, making us come here for nothing!"
Borsalino sat in a café, sipping coffee while listening to his subordinate's report.
South Sea, Edras Island:
"Navy, you really have a short memory, daring to provoke the Infinite Pirates!"
"In that case, I will take this base without any courtesy!"
A pirate ship approached the island at high speed, and at the bow stood a bald man with a sinister smile on his face.
He was once a squad leader of the Infinite Pirates and is now the Captain of the Elephant Fist Pirates! Although he was merely a squad leader in the Infinite Pirates, under Li Yuan's Conqueror's Haki, he could barely stand straight.
However, in the South Sea, his strength allowed him to dominate the area. With the unique ships of the Infinite Pirates and the intelligence they provided, he was thriving in the South Sea.
Upon receiving orders from the Infinite Pirates, he immediately led his crew to attack the nearest Navy base.
"Not good! It's the Elephant Fist Pirates! Quick, fire the cannons! Don't let them get close!"
The Navy base, located near the coast, immediately raised the alarm upon seeing the approaching pirate ship.
"Hahahahaha, despicable Navy, die for me!"
Yatsek Pass laughed heartily, his body began to transform into a human-elephant hybrid, then he charged towards the Navy base using Moon Walk!
During the process of creating artificial devil fruits, many defective Devil Fruits were produced. However, these defective products, in the eyes of Soros, the scientist, were subpar and imperfect, but to others, they were genuine Devil Fruits.
Those "defective" Devil Fruits were sold at low prices to the members under the Infinite Pirates, and Yatsek Pass had spent all his savings to purchase one of these Devil Fruits!
