'I thought so might escape, but I didn't expect such a pleasant surprise.'
Once he was alone in the room, Zane stood up and walked to the window, gazing out at the sea under the cover of night.
The current situation had completely reversed.
Previously, he had been avoiding the Donquixote Pirates, but now he had officially beco a Hunter.
A faint smile played on Zane's lips as he watched the nocturnal scenery outside the window.

He had finished off Rob Lucci and the others.
To avoid an investigation by the World Governnt,
the Riding the Wind and Waves set sail again that very night.
The following day.
"Cherish this well. This is a martial art that only the elites of the Marines and the World Governnt are qualified to practice. You're only able to learn it now because of my capabilities."
On the deck, Zane transford into a strict instructor, thumping the makeshift blackboard set up behind him.
"Long live the Captain!"
"The Boss is amazing!"
"The Captain is invincible!"
Flattery poured in from all sides as the crew, including Manlong, stared eagerly at the content on the blackboard.
Written upon it were the training thods for the Six Powers.
Indeed.
Zane was teaching his subordinates how to use the Six Powers.
As for where the Six Powers ca from, it was naturally thanks to Kalifa's selfless contribution.
A true man like Zane was naturally not to be swayed by beauty.
Facing Kalifa, a mber of CP9 and a lapdog of the Celestial Dragons, he had shown no rcy. On the second day after [LET'S DUEL!] finished its cooldown, he plundered her without hesitation.
Unlike his approach with Rob Lucci and Kaku, what he plundered from Kalifa this ti were her techniques.
This included the complete mastery of the Six Powers.
Kalifa was ranked at the bottom of CP9, so compared to her other attributes, the technique attribute containing the inheritance of the Six Powers was far more valuable.
Similarly, having obtained the Six Powers, Zane did not keep them to himself.
Not only did he integrate them into his Way of the Soldier: Killing Fist, but he also generously taught them to his subordinates.
That was simply the kind of man he was.
He would test the loyalty of his n, but as long as their loyalty t his standards, he was never stingy with their developnt.
During the subsequent days of the voyage,
a new wave of training fervor erupted on the ship.
Faced with such novel techniques, everyone showed great enthusiasm.
This was especially true after Zane personally demonstrated them; the results of the Six Powers left everyone deeply impressed.
Ti passed quietly.
After several resupplies,
and weathering nurous unpredictable natural disasters and pirate attacks,
they even found the ti to release the imprisoned civilians.
Finally.
On the surface of the sea, the silhouette of Jaya Island appeared ahead of the Riding the Wind and Waves.
"There's no mistake, it's the New Witch's Tongue!"
"Yes, exactly! Even though the pirate emblem on the sail has been cleared, that ship is definitely the Bellamy Pirates' New Witch's Tongue."
"Quick, go and inform those three adults imdiately."
"We can't let anyone else snatch this chance to climb the ranks with the Warlords. Get moving!"
"...."
Mock Town on Jaya Island was a lawless zone occupied by pirates.
At the port.
By the ti the Riding the Wind and Waves was close enough for its silhouette to be seen, many pirates lingering at the Mock Town port had already spotted it through their telescopes.
Looking at the familiar ship, the pirates grew extrely excited.
So faces showed thrill and agitation.
Others turned and fled imdiately to transmit the news of the ship's arrival.
While the port was in an uproar,
the people on the Riding the Wind and Waves seed completely unaware, slowly steering into the port until they docked.
"Charge!!!"
The mont the Riding the Wind and Waves docked, the crowd of pirates waiting at the port could no longer contain themselves, shouting excitedly as they tried to swarm the vessel.
"Kill them!!"
The pirates were excited, yet they didn't know the crew of the Riding the Wind and Waves felt exactly the sa.
As the pirates approached the ship, a group of ferocious warriors charged off the deck like ravenous beasts.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Squelch!
"Agh!!"
The port quickly transford into a battlefield. Gunfire, heavy impacts, and the clashing of blades rose one after another, causing the port to echo with blood-curdling screams.
Step, step, step....
Amidst the unhurried sound of footsteps,
Zane strolled to the bow of the ship, followed by Manlong.
He looked down calmly at the battle erupting on the port.
A quick glance revealed that his side held an absolute advantage.
Having gone through the life-and-death ordeal on Newcastle Island,
and having practiced the Six Powers tirelessly for the past half-month,
the crew of the Riding the Wind and Waves had already been forged into elite warriors. They were not common thugs that the Mock Town pirate fodder could even hope to stand against.
"They ca quite quickly!"
After a casual glance at the battle, Zane's gaze shifted, focusing toward the town.
Suddenly, Zane's eyes flashed with a scarlet light.
He tapped his foot lightly.
His body soared into the air.
Six Powers: Tempest Kick!
The Six Powers he had plundered from Kalifa were executed with perfect fluidity.
In fact, given the absolute gap in stats, the Six Powers currently executed by Zane were far superior to Kalifa's in both power and proficiency.
His right leg tore through the air, instantly generating a crescent-shaped shockwave nearly a hundred ters long.
The wind howled.
It sounded like a fighter jet flying at low altitude.
The massive Tempest Kick shockwave roared over the port, sweeping with terrifying power toward a figure rushing toward the port from the town streets.
Zooming in,
the rushing figure was an officer of the Donquixote Pirates, Lao G.
Having received the news, his first priority was to rush to the port.
Now, seeing the shockwave sweeping toward him, his expression shifted drastically. He hastily crossed his arms, which were coated in Armant Haki, to block.
Boom!!!
A deafening explosion echoed.
The buildings on both sides of the street were torn apart by the powerful shockwave.
The intense shockwave slamd into Lao G's arms.
The heavy pressure caused his feet to shatter the ground as he slid backward.
"Hah!!"
With a furious roar, Lao G exerted force with his arms, violently deflecting the persistent shockwave up into the sky.
With a whistle, the shockwave soared upward, creating bursts of violent air currents.
Rat-tat-tat....
Intense gunfire erupted from above the port.
In the next second, a dense hail of bullets rained down toward Zane as he landed back on the deck.
Swish!
Manlong, who had been behind Zane, stepped forward instantly, transforming into an iron wall to shield him.
Crossing his arms before his face, Armant Haki enveloped his entire body.
The incoming bullets were all deflected by Manlong's body.
Zane's gaze bypassed Manlong's shoulder, spotting Buffalo in the air alongside Baby 5, whose arms had transford into machine guns and were currently firing away.
"Manlong, go deal with that old man first."
"Understood!"
Hearing Zane's instructions, Manlong didn't hesitate. He leapt off the deck through the hail of bullets, then crashed through the blocking pirates at the port like a juggernaut, heading straight for Lao G.
Without Manlong's obstruction, the dense rain of bullets fell toward Zane.
He swept his leg out.
A Tempest Kick shockwave erupted once more.
The dense rain of bullets was instantly crushed by the blazing shockwave, which continued with undiminished force to tear through the air toward Buffalo and Baby 5.
