"The situation this time will likely be similar."
Gerald's analysis is actually not wrong.
The fleur-de-lis is the emblem of the Hilbert family.
Both the Silver Gull and the Temple were built by the World Government but were used privately by a certain family.
Poluk used an anchor chain to smash a wooden table:
"Just ram them! I'll cut their masts down!"
Crawford's rifle butt slammed into Poluk's head:
"That's a ship built by the World Government. It has a coating on the mast. Your broken anchor is so bad that you can't even scrape off the paint."
He unfolded a hand-drawn nautical chart:
"There are reefs three nautical miles to the northeast. We drove that ship there and made them run aground."
"The sea fog is also thicker over there, so we can use smoke grenades to cover the boarding."
Gerald suddenly transformed into his complete beast form, and the hyena's roar shook the deck.
His claws pressed down on the deck, instantly leaving a scratch that was half a foot deep:
"I'm going to tear those nobles' throats open right now!"
Crawford slapped his forehead in exasperation:
"Alright, alright, but at least let me fire a round of phosphorescent bombs first."
"Wait until their line of sight is blocked before you go in."
His last piece of advice was:
"Remember not to kill everyone; at least capture the Treasurer alive."
"I know! You're so long-winded!"
On the other side, Blake, who was on the deck chair, raised his head and frowned slightly as he looked in the direction of the hyena pirate ship.
How could you disturb his rest at a time like this?
Immediately, Blake smiled broadly and clapped his hands, saying:
"Girls, the time has come to test the results of your cultivation!"
Chapter 41 Each Person's Battle (Bonus chapter thanks to the customer "Summer Snows Too" for the gift)
No sooner had Blake finished speaking than a phosphorescent bomb landed on the water not far from the Temple.
Before the women could react to what Blake meant, a huge figure crashed onto the deck of the Temple.
Gerald transformed into a hyena, roaring angrily to the sky.
Mandy, having experienced real combat, was the first to regain her senses, drawing her rapier from her waist and becoming alert and wary.
Upon seeing her attire, Gerald's eyes lit up instantly:
"I didn't expect there to be a female knight on this ship. Those damned nobles are really eating well!"
Gerald charged toward Mandy on all fours, leaving scratches on the deck with his claws.
"Is your sword comparable to my fangs?"
Mandy did not respond, but raised her sword and thrust it towards the spot where the other party was bound to pass.
However, Gerald dodged it at a rather strange angle before it could hit him.
"Is it the instinct of a wild animal?"
Mandy thought to herself.
She took a deep breath, recalling what Blake had said during training, and tried her best to make her swordsmanship less bound by formalities.
The clanging of metal pierced the thick fog as sparks flew from Mandy's rapier against the beast's claws.
"Little girl, your sword is slower than the navy!"
Gerald roared and charged forward again, but Mandy lowered his center of gravity and swung his longsword upward.
Gerald had a cut on his abdomen.
But for a Zoan-type Devil Fruit user, this minor injury was nothing to worry about; instead, it completely unleashed his ferocity.
Blake raised his hand to stop the CP from stepping forward to subdue Gerald, and said to the remaining three:
"These guys are in your hands now. Let me see how you've grown."
As they were talking, the Hyena Pirates' flagship, the Howler of the Night, had already pulled up. Porco couldn't wait to jump onto the deck, with Crawford following closely behind.
Kerla immediately leaped up and punched down at the location where Poluk was.
With a bang, the deck cracked open like a spider web, but Poluk was no longer there.
"Little monster, want to come aboard our ship? We're sure to find the One Piece with Boss Hyena and become the Pirate King!"
Upon witnessing Kelra's immense strength, Poluk was somewhat tempted and even considered pulling her onto the ship.
Despite saying that, he didn't stop moving for a moment, and the anchor chain in his hand swept straight towards Kerr.
Kerla rolled on the spot, dodging the attack, but had half of her hair cut off.
Upon seeing the other ship brandishing its anchor, Kera, already aware of the battle, made a decision almost instantly.
Whips, chains, even spears and white-bearded naginata... these long weapons become completely ineffective if the enemy gets within arm's reach.
As Kerla attempted to approach, Poluk decisively continued his attack.
After successfully blocking an attack with her superior physical abilities, Kerla reached out and grabbed the anchor chain.
She pulled hard, causing Poluk to stumble.
Kerla leaped up, straddling Poluk's head, and wrapped her legs around his neck.
On the other side, a sniper bullet whizzed past Robin's ear, but Robin smiled without changing his expression:
"Your ballistic calculations are very accurate."
"But for every 10% increase in humidity in the fog, the rate of fire of the flintlock musket will decrease by 0.3 seconds."
Crawford's expression changed, and he raised his gun again, ready to fire.
Robin's figure had already disappeared behind the mast, leaving only her voice:
"The current humidity is 78%, and the wind speed is four meters per second!"
"it's here!"
Crawford fired in the direction the sound came from, only to find no one there.
He glanced around, then suddenly sneered and pointed his gun at Mandy, who was still fighting.
"Since you're not coming out, I'll deal with this girl first, then I'll play with you slowly!"
With that, Crawford pulled the trigger.
Just as Crawford pulled the trigger, his gun barrel was suddenly twisted by the arm that had grown out.
Another shot rang out, but this time the bullet struck the sail of the Howler in the Mist, piercing a large hole in the sail painted with a skull pattern.
Robin emerged from behind the mast, and Crawford was both surprised and furious.
He was furious that he had been repeatedly tricked by a little girl, but surprised that she dared to swagger back again.
"I'm going to kill you right now, you smug brat!"
As he spoke, he prepared to fire again.
With a sharp click, the gun jammed!
Taking advantage of the opponent's momentary lapse in concentration, six hands that grew out from behind pulled together and snatched the sniper rifle, snapping the scope in half.
Robin threw the sniper rifle on the ground, and a row of arms grew from the deck, handing the rifle to her before speaking:
"The rifling needs to be cleaned after every three shots, Mr. Sniper."
"You're lucky this time it just got stuck; next time it might explode."
After saying that, she smiled, waved the sniper rifle in her hand, turned around and left, becoming the first victor of this battle.
Robin knew perfectly well that Blake just wanted to see their combat abilities.
She has now captured the enemy's weapons, which means that most of the snipers in the world have lost 90% of their combat effectiveness.
That considered her task complete; the remaining work could be left to the slaves.
Noticing Robin's actions, Black smiled helplessly but didn't pay much attention, waving his hand to signal the slaves to take Crawford away.
He then looked at the furtive Perona.
The little girl had just scattered some beads near the pirate captain, and now she's taken out a bottle of chili powder from the kitchen.
Perona skillfully weaved through the chaos and arrived in front of Poluk, who was wrestling with Kella:
Perona Sneeze Powder!
The red mist exploded, and Poluk instantly burst into tears as he was pinned to the ground by Kella.
"Damn brat... Achoo! I want... Achoo! Kill... Achoo!"
Perona ran past the other person with her tongue sticking out:
"A little bit..."
She also hung the fishhook on Poluk's belt, and wrapped the other end around the anchor winch.
The battle between Mandy and Gerald is nearing its end.
Mandy used the tip of her sword to flick up a nearby cable, ducking to avoid Gerald's claws as the cable wrapped around his leg.
She pulled hard, and Gerald stumbled.
Trying to steady himself, he accidentally stepped on Perona's marble.
The marble rolled on the deck, and Mandy seized the opportunity to thrust her sword out, piercing Gerald's lung.
Seeing that the battle was over, Blake finally stood up from the recliner:
"Not bad, it seems your training has been quite effective."
He pointed at Robin:
"Robin, in particular, was very calm. He analyzed all of the opponent's next moves and made reasonable plans."
Perona glanced at Robin and muttered in dissatisfaction:
"That wretched bookworm!"
Blake smiled and patted Perona's head:
"Of course, Perona was also good, assisting Mandy and Kella in defeating their opponents."
Perona was coaxed and immediately cheered up. She took out a bottle of hot sauce and ran towards Gerald, who had lost the ability to resist and was being controlled by the slaves.
It's obvious what she's planning to do.
Blake went to Kerr, who needed encouragement the most, and picked her up.
"Kerla was very brave today!"
Kella smiled happily:
"Thank you, Your Highness!"
As for Mandy, a female swordsman with a cold exterior but a delicate heart, Blake simply held Kella in one arm and patted her shoulder with the other.
it is more than words.

The women all performed very well in their assessments, which greatly improved Blake's spirits.
And so they continued on their way, playfully frolicking at sea.
