Grand Line, Sunset Island.
A fat man wearing black pants and a white shirt with his belly exposed was eating his favorite cherry pie in a bar.
After escaping from the New World for so many days, he still has not recruited a single crew member he likes. Either they are not strong enough, or their potential is too low, and they're not worthy of being his crew members.
When he came to this island this time, he heard that there once appeared on the island a powerful marksman who claimed to be able to shoot down giant dragons and even mythical beasts. But he doesn't know if these legends are true.
However, the archers on this island are indeed very strong, because when he first arrived on the island, he saw several powerful archers competing.
Even boulders can be penetrated by their arrows, let alone pirate ships that are made of wood. He also saw a powerful archer who could shoot the trunk of a big tree directly and cause the entire tree to fall.
He felt that if this archer were to shoot the mast of a ship, he would definitely be able to destroy it with one arrow and cut off the sail power of the ship.
A man with such strength made him curious.
If possible, he really wants to recruit the most powerful archer to become his first crew member!
Not far from this bar, a high-priced mission order had just been posted on a bounty hunter's mission list. A photo of a fat, dark man was on it, and his current location was also marked.
[Capture Blackbeard alive, it doesn't matter if his limbs are broken, as long as he doesn't die! The bounty is 100 million beris! !]
"Who is this? There is such an unknown person in the Grand Line and someone is offering such a high bounty for him?"
"It seems that I have never seen this man, not even the reward notice."
"The bounty has actually reached a hundred millions. Isn't this the price of a supernova?"
"He's actually at the Sunset Bar! Hurry up! This hundred million beris bounty belongs to me!"
A pirate carrying a big sword laughed and rushed towards the Sunset Bar in the center of Sunset Island. After the people behind him reacted, they also rushed towards the bar.
Someone actually offered a reward of 100 million beris for an unknown person with no wanted order. This was simply giving them money.
They didn't believe that Blackbeard, who didn't have a wanted order, could be that strong.
"The bounty is 100 million. Then I'm going to join in the fun!"
A young man with black hair carrying a black iron bow showed a very interested expression and immediately followed the flow of people towards the Sunset Bar.
One hundred million beris is not a small amount.
If he could get it, he would be able to live comfortably for a while and exchange for better bows and arrows, because the consumption of sharp arrows can be a huge expense.
…
On the sea not far from Sunset Island.
A small speedboat was moving forward rapidly, with flames constantly spurting out from behind.
"Teach! I won't let you go this time!"
A young man with a freckled face, with his upper body exposed, showing his solid muscles, and wearing an orange hat on his head.
At this moment, he looked sharply at Sunset Island, which was still a small dot in the distance. This time he must catch up with the traitor.
Because God and Thatch were blessing him, allowing him to get accurate information about Teach's whereabouts time and time again.
In the sky, several seagulls flew past, dotting the vast blue sea with a few white dots.
In another area of the sea, there was also a huge mechanical island ship, quickly rushing to Sunset Island.
…
In the Sunset Bar.
After Marshall D Teach downed several bottles of wine and ate over a dozen cherry pies, he laid back contentedly on his chair and patted his big belly.
Then a waiter whispered something into the bartender's ear, which surprised the bartender and inadvertently glanced at the man a few more times.
The bartender's eyes were noticed by Blackbeard, which made him feel a little strange, but he didn't really care.
After all, he is just an unknown person with 0 bounty on his head. As long as it is not a member of the Whitebeard Pirates, no one will take action against him.
But soon, his eyes changed, as if he was a different person. The relaxed eyes disappeared and turned into deep and ambitious ones.
'Could it be that the Whitebeard Pirates put a bounty on me in the underworld?'
Then he noticed the change in the atmosphere, and many guesses appeared in his mind.
"Guest, this is your wine."
The bartender brought a few bottles of wine again, with a hint of excitement on his face, looking at the fat man as if he were looking at gold.
Even when relaxed, Teach could have detected the bartender's evil intentions, not to mention now that he was paying attention.
"Drink! Old man!"
Blackbeard suddenly grinned, picked up the wine bottle with one hand, grabbed the bartender's collar, and poured the wine into the bartender's mouth with a laugh.
"No, save... me, quickly, take... him!"
The bartender, who was constantly being fed poisonous wine, screamed with fear on his face. He kept struggling, but found that he could not break free from the hold of this man.
This made his face paler. As a bartender who dealt in both black and white areas, he also had good strength. He even defeated a drunken pirate who had a bounty of 20 million beris once.
But now he was completely helpless in the hands of this unknown person!
"stop!"
The waiters and the gangsters in the bar were watching the scene, and they all pulled out their long knives to kill the fat man who was causing trouble.
"Haha! It seems like I have to leave quickly again!"
Blackbeard casually threw the bartender out and smashed him against the wall. The bartender died instantly because of the collision, which shows his terrifying strength.
Then Blackbeard knocked these waiters and gangsters away with a few punches, and swaggered out of the Sunset Bar while laughing.
In fact, he was a little angry. With something like this happening, it seemed that recruiting a powerful archer as a crew member was going to be a bit of a problem.
However, when he just walked out of the Sunset Bar, his pupils shrank suddenly. Three arrows were shot at him in an instant. He quickly dodged, but he was still hit by a sharp arrow on his left shoulder.
"It hurts! It hurts! It hurts so much!"
He immediately fell to the ground and screamed in pain, but the next moment his eyes were full of murderous intent, and he endured the severe pain and pulled out the arrow from his shoulder.
"Haha! Is this the man worth a hundred million? He's really trash!"
A bounty hunter at the side laughed, but there was more greed in his eyes. This is free money, whoever grabs it first is the winner!
The young man holding the iron bow was also stunned for a moment. He only made a slight move to test the target who had a bounty of 100 million.
Unexpectedly, the man fell down like this without any image, and it seemed that the pain was so exaggerated that he almost cried in pain.
Even if a pirate with a bounty of 10 to 20 million was hit by an arrow, he would not show such an exaggerated reaction.
Does this fat man really need 100 million beris to capture him?
Could the bounty hunter be lying?
Blackbeard stood up with a gloomy face amidst the bounty hunter's ridicule.
He threw the bloody arrow to the ground, and the blood stopped flowing immediately. If anyone looked carefully, they would notice that the flesh and blood of the wound was squirming and recovering quickly.
An ominous and angry aura spread out from Blackbeard's body.
The young man holding the black iron bow had his pupils shrink and immediately retreated hundreds of steps away from this dangerous and ominous figure.
As Sunset Island's famous genius marksman, Sunset Dayi's name is very famous among the archers and bounty hunters on the island, and everyone also recognizes his strength.
His eyes and archer intuition were also very powerful. He really felt a strong death crisis coming from this man.
"Everyone, be careful, this guy is not a simple person!"
Dayi shouted at these bounty hunters with a trace of solemnity in his eyes.
"Haha, Dayi, this guy is worth 100 million beris. If you don't want the money, then we will take it!"
These bounty hunters did not listen to Dayi's warning and went up to attack Blackbeard one by one, hoping to catch the fat man as soon as possible in exchange for the bounty.
"Haha! That bow and arrow brat, you were the one who shot me, right? You can still feel the danger. Is it because you have awakened Observation Haki?"
"Kid, although you hurt me, I still want to ask if you are interested in boarding my ship and becoming a member of my pirate group!"
"Zehahahahah~"
Blackbeard laughed happily because he finally found a good seedling, then a large amount of black miasma began to be released from his body.
"As for these arrogant guys, let me send them to hell!"
'Black Hole!'
He slapped the ground with his right hand, and an endless wave of darkness spread out.
Wherever the dark miasma goes, whether it is humans or buildings, they were all attracted and absorbed into darkness.
"What is this! Save me, I can't move!"
"No! I can't move either!"
"Run!"
"Sure enough, I knew it would be difficult to get these 100 million beris! Bastard!"
"Archers, shoot him! Kill him and this Devil Fruit ability will disappear!"
Archers and bounty hunters kept shouting in fear, and some people's legs quickly fell into the darkness. It didn't take many seconds for their whole bodies to be plunged into the dark substance.
"Zehahaha! Try the power of the best fruit!"
"And don't underestimate me! I was just being careless!"
Blackbeard laughed crazily, and then saw some arrows flying at him. But his hands turned black and he swept these arrows away easily.
He would not take these people in the Grand Line lightly.
He really thought that his more than 20 years of working in the New World were not in vain.
He was on the Whitebeard Pirates, one of the Yonkōs crews, so how could there be no Haki?.
There were even old crew members who recommended him to become the captain of the second division, but he didn't want to be famous. He always wanted to pretend to be weak, and he didn't want to be in the limelight.
After Kozuki Oden left, the position of the second team was vacant for more than 20 years until the emergence of Fire Fist Ace.
Moreover, Red-haired Shanks' Conqueror's Haki was so powerful that he was almost crushed by him, even though he had secretly trained hard for a long time.
Although his Haki is not the strongest, it is more than enough to deal with these pirates in the Grand Line's Paradise.
Before he had thought he was strong enough, but his fight with Shanks showed him that was still lacking, which made him focus more on getting the Dark Fruit and planning to get Whitebeard's Shock Fruit afterwards.
Dayi saw that the buildings centered on Blackbeard continued to collapse, and the bounty hunters continued to disappear into the darkness. This scene made him feel fear.
What kind of terrifying power is this?!
"Let them go!"
Dayi, who was eager to save people, was holding a black longbow. He suddenly forgot his fear and concentrated on setting the arrow. He exerted all his strength and drew the bow into a full moon.
The black longbow suddenly seemed to be absorbing something through his hands, constantly draining his physical strength. A black aura came out of the bow and moved to the arrow, dyeing the arrow a black color.
'Sunset Shoot!'
With a pale face, Dayi shot an arrow that was filled with his whole body's energy, and then he supported his body with the bow a little weakly.
He actually triggered the power of the black longbow again, which made him very excited. This ancestral black bow was indeed a magical weapon.
"Ah! It hurts! It hurts! You can actually use Armament Haki!"
The dark miasma all over Blackbeard suddenly disintegrated, and a sharp arrow was inserted into his blackened arm, causing him to fall to the ground and scream in pain.
But the surrounding dark matter still hadn't disappeared and continued to swallow up buildings and people.
"Ho...ho...Zehahaha! Bow brat, I recognize your strength, please become my partner!"
Blackbeard gasped and stood up. It was obvious that he was in severe pain, but he quickly pulled out the arrow again and threw it away, as if these injuries were no big deal to him.
Moreover, he looked at the archer enthusiastically, as if he saw a crew member with great potential.
At this time, the cries of fear around them became more and more loud, until they disappeared. The Sunset Town on Sunset Island actually slowly disappeared into the darkness.
"What did you do to them?!"
Dayi looked at Blackbeard in fear. Apart from the townspeople who fled the town, his hometown had actually disappeared!
"Zehahaha! Listen kid, if you dare to attack others, you must be prepared to die! These are the rules of the sea!"
Blackbeard laughed, he raised his hands, and the darkness that flooded the entire town returned to him like a whirlpool, and above his head, a dark cloud appeared.
Just when he wanted to continue to recruit this marksman, several flame spears shot at him out of nowhere, pinning him to the ground.
"Ah! It hurts! It hurts!"
Blackbeard fell to the ground and screamed in pain again, but this time he quickly got up and looked at the rapidly approaching ball of flames with evil eyes.
"Teach! I finally found you! Why did you kill Thatch? Tell me, you bastard!"
"You are right in that the sea has its own rules, but we, the Whitebeard Pirates, also have our own rules! You traitor, are you prepared to die?!"
An angry voice came out from the flames, and then in the eyes of Dayi and Blackbeard, a flame in the shape of the Whitebeard Pirates jolly roger appeared, and a young man flew out of the flames.
Fire Fist Ace, the leader of the Whitebeard Pirates' second division, appeared with an explosion. Then a huge fire fist took shape and rushed at Blackbeard.
A black whirlpool appeared in Blackbeard's hand and swallowed the huge fire fist directly.
This scene made Ace frown. His famous attack was actually swallowed up just like this?
"Zehahaha! Ace, do you see it? This is the power of the Dark Fruit! The most vicious Devil Fruit ability in history!"
"If you look at this town again, it was destroyed by my Dark Fruit ability!"
Blackbeard opened his hands and laughed, as if to show off his glorious achievements. Now the entire Sunset Town has been scraped completely by his blackhole ability, turning it into a barren yellow land.
"Just because of this Devil Fruit ability, you killed Thatch?"
Ace asked angrily. He couldn't understand why the usually honest old crew member would do such a cruel thing.
This is a veteran crew member who has been in the Whitebeard Pirates for more than 20 years after all.
"Ace, you have no idea what this Devil Fruit represents! I stayed in the Whitebeard Pirates for so many years just to wait for this Devil Fruit."
"If it hadn't appeared, I could have stayed on our father's ship for the rest of my life. But when I saw it appearing in the hands of Captain Thatch, I was so disappointed. Why wasn't it me who got the fruit?"
"Of course, I was more excited because this Devil Fruit had finally appeared. So, for that, I would have killed anyone!"
Blackbeard happily shared his joy with Ace and told about his difficulties in these years.
He waited for more than twenty years for a Devil Fruit, suppressed himself for so long, and pretended to be an honest person for so many years.
"Why don't you ask Thatch for it?! With more than 20 years of friendship, wouldn't he have given it to you?"
Ace cursed. In his eyes, shouldn't family be more important than a Devil Fruit?
"Don't take it for granted, Captain Ace! We are pirates! I just couldn't give him a chance to eat the Dark Fruit, so I had to strike first!"
Blackbeard grinned, on the night of the party, he assassinated Thatch and escaped from the Moby-Dick.
Asking him for the Dark Fruit?
What a waste of time, it was more straightforward to simply grab it, and he no longer wanted to stay in the Whitebeard Pirates, a place full of family love.
He wants to form his own pirate group, and he wants to be the captain!
He wants to have the right to show his true self!
The most important thing is that he also wants Whitebeard's Tremor Fruit ability!
If he had asked for the Dark Fruit to stay in the Whitebeard Pirates, he would not be able to get ahead with his qualifications. These captains will not be convinced by him. How many years would he have to wait until Whitebeard dies of old age?.
He has to find a way to get the Tremor Fruit's power quickly.
And he has already seen that his father seems to be intending to train Ace to become the heir of the Whitebeard Pirates. Even Marco, the captain of the first division, does not have this blessing, let alone Teach himself.
"Damn it! Teach! I must take you back to Pops for trial!"
Ace gritted his teeth with hatred. Thatch was the captain he had the best relationship with in the Whitebeard Pirates, and he was even more familiar with him than Marco.
"Zehahaha! Ace, he is old and has only a few more years to live. It's time to give up his Yonkō position."
"Ace, you have great potential, come be my deputy captain! Let's become the new Yonkō crew together and conquer the world. Don't you think the Whitebeard Pirates are too boring?"
Blackbeard laughed and extended his right hand to Ace, trying to invite him.
He remembers when Ace was beaten badly by Whitebeard. However, in the end, after being easily beaten, Ace was finally moved by Whitebeard's fatherly love and became another one of his sons.
Blackbeard could clearly feel that the Haki in Ace's body had become weaker and weaker after he boarded the ship.
If Ace, a young and powerful man full of potential, joins his Blackbeard Pirates, he might be able to re-inspire his Conqueror's Haki and become a legendary vice-captain like the Dark King Rayleigh!
Thinking of this, he became even more excited. His ambition was also to be the Pirate King, and to have a vice-captain who had awakened Conqueror's Haki was not too much at all.
"How dare you say that Pops is old! The Whitebeard Pirates don't need you to preach! Bastard!"
'Higan!'
Ace heard that Teach not only said that his father was old, but also insulted the Whitebeard Pirates for being boring. This is simply unforgivable!
How can the Moby-Dick be boring when it's full of family affection and bonds?!
"Isn't it boring that dad is holding on to his little bit and still won't admit it? Isn't it boring to hold banquets every day and talk about the family's pirate group?"
"We are pirates! ! This is not a game of house! Dad has no ambition to become the Pirate King!"
"But I won't let my ambitions and dreams end with the Whitebeard Pirates!"
Blackbeard also yelled, before using Kurouzu again, absorbing Ace's attack.
Whitebeard obviously has the most power, but after the death of Pirate King Roger, he just kept looking for his family, and by the way became the leader of the Four Emperors.
He never paid much attention to becoming the Pirate King.
He hated watching Charlotte Linlin and Kaido of the Beasts become Yonkōs one after another, snatching the Road Poneglyphs, each looking for the secret of reaching the final island, Raftel.
"Dad will definitely become the Pirate King!"
'Hibashira!'
Seeing that his fire fist and bullet moves were ineffective against Teach, Ace angrily used his more powerful moves to defeat the rude Teach.
The endless stream of flames, under the control of his hands, rotated into a huge burning pillar, rushing towards Blackbeard in an instant.
"Dad doesn't want the position! It's up to me to be the Pirate King!"
'Liberation!'
Blackbeard saw Ace's pillar of fire and immediately threw everything that he had swallowed in Sunset Town towards him, including the corpses of many bounty hunters and archers.
Dayi looked at the fight between the two pirates, Fire Fist Ace and Blackbeard Teach, with horror in his eyes.
"Everyone is dead!"
He looked at the corpses in the ruins and said with red eyes. Among them were his like-minded archers, competitive friends, and bounty hunters who interrupted the chat.
The huge pillar of fire collided fiercely with the released ruins. Countless building ruins and corpses burned in the high-temperature flames and turned into ashes.
"No!"
Dayi knelt on the ground helplessly, completely unable to believe this fact. Within half a day, his hometown and friends had turned into ashes and completely disappeared from this world.
Under the billowing smoke, the air even smelled like meat.
Ace and Blackbeard both stood in the middle of endless smoke and dust, and the black ashes, bones, and building ruins were piled up one or two meters high.
These were the remnants of the entire Sunset Town.
"Zehahaha! Ace, thank you for carrying out the cremation ceremony for the people of Sunset Town!"
Blackbeard smiled cruelly. Although he first used the Dark Fruit's ability to swallow these people into the darkness and kill them, he felt happy when a young man with a conscience like Ace accidentally helped him destroy the corpses and eliminate their traces.
Pirates should act like pirates!
Do you want him to apologize to these ants after killing them?
You see, every time Kaido of the Beasts goes to fight with his father, he always says that the Whitebeard Pirates are just a group playing house, not like pirates at all.
"Teach! You bastard!"
'Kyokaen!'
Ace's expression looked extremely ugly, especially when he felt the smell of meat, which made him feel a little nauseous.
He waved his right hand fiercely and sprayed out a huge wall of fire, covering Teach in all directions. He wanted to see just how much fire he could devour!
"Ace, let me show you how powerful the Dark Fruit is!"
'Kurouzu!'
Blackbeard ignored the flames and instead attracted Ace with his right hand.
Caught off guard, Ace was sucked in and Teach caught him on the shoulder.
"You can't use the ability of your Devil Fruit now!"
He punched Ace directly in the stomach with a powerful punch, causing him to fly back immediately vomiting blood.
"Zehahaha! My Dark Fruit can restrain any Devil Fruit ability! As long as you are touched by me, you can't use your Devil Fruit ability!"
Teach laughed and used Kurouzu again to suck the seriously injured Ace back to give him the final blow!
'Shinka: Shiranui!'
Ace, who was being suctioned back, successfully threw two flame spears in front of the conceited Blackbeard.
"Ah! It hurts! It hurts!"
Blackbeard, who had just gained a slight advantage, fell to the ground and screamed again in pain.
"That means, I will be fine as long as I don't let you touch me!"
'Hotarubi, Hidaruma!'
A large number of small light green fireballs immediately surged out of Ace's hands and rushed towards the fallen Blackbeard, exploding on him like small bombs.
Blowing up against Teach and making him scream in pain constantly.
If Basire had been at the scene, he would have asked Blackbeard why he told the enemy about his Devil Fruit ability?
What a stupid act.
At this time, the island ship of the Big Daddy Pirates had also approached Sunset Island, and a golden ship arrived in advance above the smoky island.
"I came at just the right time. Looks like the fight hasn't been finished yet."
The corners of Basire's lips raised into a smile. This time the plan seemed to be going well. The battle between Fire Fist Ace and Blackbeard Teach was very intense and went exactly according to his script.
In another place, Morgans was also very surprised after seeing the report. This unknown Blackbeard could actually fight on par with the captain of Whitebeard's second division, who had a bounty of 550 million beris.
You must know that although Fire Fist Ace has not been in the Whitebeard Pirates for a long time and his bounty is not that high, his great strength has been recognized by Whitebeard.
Otherwise, he wouldn't have made him the captain of the second division.
This young captain is only 20 years old, and there is still a lot of room for growth in his future bounty.
To be able to fight like this, it seems that this fat man is indeed not a simple guy!
No wonder Big Daddy Basire was willing to spend 100 million beris to hire people to find trouble for Blackbeard.
With the terrifying power to destroy towns, this man really has been hiding a lot!
On the war zone.
Ace and Blackbeard once again engaged in a fire attack and defense battle, Ace using large-scale fire moves, no longer fighting Teach in close combat.
But within an hour, both of them were already out of breath.
One tried desperately to set fire to the opponent, while the other tried desperately to defend and devour the fire, both of which consumed a lot of physical strength.
'Jujika!'
Ace crosses his two index fingers to form a cross, shooting a cross-shaped flame light from the fingers, which seems to have good penetration power.
"Ho~ho~, Zehahaha! Ace, it's useless! My Dark Fruit can swallow everything!"
Blackbeard was shot by the crossfire and his whole body ignited with flames, but was quickly swallowed up by the dark miasma on his body.
However, it also caused him a lot of pain and made him breathe a little faster.
"Then look at it! Bastard!"
Ace didn't expect Teach to be so difficult to beat. It was true that he underestimated him because of his usual act of an honest man.
He wouldn't have expected that the punch he received from Teach would be so strong as to cause him serious internal injuries.
'Dai Enkai: Entei!'
He wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, his eyes showed solemnity, and huge circles of fire appeared around him. The spiral flames quickly condensed into a giant fireball above his hand, looking like a small sun.
"Zehaha! Is it the sun? Let's see which one is stronger, the sun or the darkness!"
Blackbeard also became excited and said with a laugh. Endless dark matter poured out of him, darkening the sky.
The orange sun and the wave of darkness collided together, the terrifying power erupted, and the archer Dayi ran away frantically.
The Ark Maxim in the sky and the crew of the Big Daddy Pirates also looked at the huge collision on Sunset Island in shock.
"Is this the powerful power of the Logia Fire Fruit user?"
Burgess looked at the terrifying power below with a face full of desire, and he also wanted to get this powerful Logia ability.
As for Enel's Logia Thunder Fruit, the Captain seems to be ready to hand it over to Nami, and there is no chance for him.
But now there is another Logia Fruit ability that makes him excited.
"Logia Dark Fruit's ability is the most evil ability! Is this the captain's goal?"
Lafitte was also shocked by the collision of the sun and darkness. These two forces were no less powerful than Crocodile, they looked even stronger.
"Prepare your seastone weapons! It's hunting time!"
Basire was paying close attention to the fierce collision below. The barrier armor had appeared on his body, and he was ready to take action at any time.
This time he decided to be the fisherman who fishes in troubled waters.
"Clear!"
The crew of the Big Daddy Pirates were immediately ready. Van Augur loaded his seastone bullets, Burgess put on his seastone gloves, and the other crew members also quickly picked their seastone weapons.
Various blades and sticks emerged endlessly.
This time Basire attached great importance to both goals, and they did not dare to ignore the Captain's order!
In the violent collision between the sun and darkness, Sunset Island was completely razed to the ground.
Most of the survivors only survived by jumping into the sea.
Otherwise, they would either be baked to death by the high temperature of the sun, or it would be sucked in and squeezed to death by the gravity of the black hole.
Dayi carried a black iron bow on his back, lurking under the sea and watching the terrifying fight on the island. His back was also burned by the flames.
He watched Firefist and Blackbeard who left his hometown in ruins with his eyes filled with hatred.
He must avenge this!
On the frontal battlefield, after more than ten minutes of fierce fighting, darkness finally defeated the sun.
The sun went out, and the island was flooded with darkness. But soon, with a burst of wild laughter, the darkness faded away.
"Zehahaha! Ace, I won! It was darkness that defeated the sun!"
Blackbeard laughed crazily, and after the darkness receded, he appeared panting and breathing heavily.
However, his current physical condition was slightly better than that of Ace.
At least he could still stand and laugh, Ace in turn had fallen down, nearly unconscious, and no longer had the energy to even curse.
"Ace! I will give you another chance to become my vice-captain! Otherwise, your life will be over!"
He walked towards Ace with a smile, no matter whether he extracted the ability of the Flare Fruit or handed him over to Naval Headquarters in exchange for benefits, he would not lose money.
Ace gave Teach a fierce look and finally fainted.
"Hmph! If you don't want to join then I won't hold back."
Teach's expression was a bit ugly. His recruitment plan has been frustrated again and again, but this time, since he beat Ace, he should be able to exchange him for some benefits.
"If I deliver Ace to the Marines. Will Jinbe continue to be a Shichibukai? Maybe I can become a Shichibukai as well!"
Blackbeard thought for a while, and it seemed that he could make a plan to seize Jinbe's Shichibukai position.
Otherwise, he would have to take down one of the other Shichibukai first.
However, now that he has no crew, it is somewhat dangerous to attack one of them alone, so he will focus on recruiting crew members first.
He continued to walk towards the fainted Ace. At this moment, he suddenly turned his head and looked into the air, his eyes filled with fear.
A green armored giant fell rapidly from the sky.
Boom~!
A huge explosion erupted when it landed.
'Uh-huh!'
Even though Blackbeard had tried his best to avoid it, he was still hit by the huge Armament Haki emission shockwave. He was blown away with blood spurting from his mouth, and he almost lost consciousness.
The fainted Ace was also blown away by the shockwave and rolled dozens of times on the ground, suffering more injuries.
Bang~! x3
Three gunshots sounded, and three bloody holes appeared on Blackbeard's body.
He had already spent 70% to 80% of his strength while fighting Ace, and then he was on the verge of collapse under Basire's fierce attack. Unexpectedly, there was a sniper as well.
"Hai..! Ah!"
Blackbeard felt weak all over and his wounds were in excruciating pain. He would have never expected to be targeted at this moment. He is just a nobody with 0 bounty on his head!
"This is my highest purity seastone bullet!"
Below the Ark Maxim, on the back of a ferocious looking bird, Van Augur said calmly while his rifle was still smoking.
Captain Basire has already knocked Blackbeard away. If he couldn't hit him, then he would be trash as a sniper.
Anyway, the captain said that as long as he didn't kill Blackbeard, he could just shoot him all he wanted.
"Oh haha~, a fainted Flare Fruit ability user! I must not let you die!"
Lafitte, waving his white wings, soon appeared above Fire Fist Ace, hoping that the Captain of the second division of the Whitebeard Pirates would not die in the aftermath of his Captain's attack.
He put on gloves and immediately put seastone handcuffs on Ace, then quickly carried him back to the Ark Maxim, letting Trafalgar Law and Doc Q rescue this seriously injured guy.
Basire had already retracted his Susanoo armor and appeared in front of Blackbeard. The excitement in his eyes could not be concealed.
He did it, and he did it easily.
They will successfully capture Blackbeard and Fire Fist Ace.
'Back then, I originally wanted to follow Ace, join the Whitebeard Pirates, and plan to get the Dark Fruit, but I didn't have a chance! But now, you both fall into my hands!'
A ferocious smile appeared on Basire's face, and the aura on his body began to explode, as if a limiter had been unlocked, increasing rapidly, and his mood was extremely comfortable!
His Conqueror's Haki was enhanced several times, and his ambition was unleashed wildly!
"My big plan is about to begin! This era will definitely belong to me!"
Basire looked up to the sky and laughed, and suddenly thrust two seastone swords into Blackbeard's shoulders, nailing him to the ground, completely cutting off his resistance.
"Big Daddy..Basire!"
Blackbeard endured the severe pain and gritted his teeth as he looked at the rising new king, but he quickly changed his expression.
"Captain Basire, I know the secret to becoming the Pirate King. Please let me go, I am willing to join you, I am willing to be your pawn!."
He had a look of fear on his face and immediately began to beg for mercy crazily. In the face of death, he could only humble himself again and seek a chance to survive.
He also didn't expect that now that he had already obtained the Dark Fruit he would fall into the hands of others.
He really wasn't willing to give in!
He lurked for more than twenty years before he got the Devil Fruit ability he dreamed of. Unexpectedly, within a few months, he became someone else's prisoner.
He was really careless! Too impulsive!
He shouldn't have fought Ace to the death, but should continue to run away and continue to grow!
If he were at the peak of his strength, he would not be ambushed by a villain like Basire so easily, nor would he be shot by the opponent's sniper with seastone bullets.
What is this?!
Why did the Big Daddy Pirates come for him just after he had a fight with Ace?
Moreover, the opponent seemed to have a battle plan in advance, defeating the enemy with one blow and completely making him lose the ability to resist.
"Teach, stop pretending, I know what kind of person you are! I also know all the secrets you know, I even know the things you don't know!"
"Just accept your fate. In this era, there can only be one winner, and that's me!"
Basire smiled and squatted in front of Blackbeard, gently patted the big brown face a few times, his eyes full of teasing.
All the plans and opportunities of the future Yonkō Blackbeard will be his trophies.
The fate of Blackbeard is now fully controlled by him!
If Blackbeard could become a Yonkō in one bite, he can do it too!
Amidst Basire's wanton release of Conqueror's Haki, the golden ship Ark Maxim landed quickly.
Burgess and Gin withstood Basire's momentum and immediately tied up Blackbeard Teach with seastone handcuffs and anklets.
"Captain, you asked us to make so many preparations, but you still managed to solve the target by yourself!"
Burgess shouted with a grin, but his hands deftly continued to tie the seastone chains on Blackbeard, tying up his entire body!
"The preparations were just a precaution, we can't make any mistakes when taking down this guy."
Basire smiled lightly as he talked, then retracted his Conqueror's Haki and his excited mood calmed down. His plan to become a Yonkō was about to begin, and the position of Shichibukai could be discarded soon.
However, it seems that they could still use the identity of Shichibukai to invade Impel Down.
"What an exaggerated destructive power!"
Zoro looked at the destroyed island and couldn't help but sigh. The terrifying power of these Logia Devil fruit powers was really terrifying.
"Captain, that Flare Fruit's ability..."
Burgess said with a look of longing. To be honest, he really liked the power of this Logia.
"Fire Fist Ace is an important chess piece and cannot die for the time being. But if there is a chance later, I will try my best to give you this ability."
Basire said lightly, thinking that if he could recover F
Ace's Devil Fruit ability in Summit War, he really wouldn't mind giving this Logia ability to Burgess.
After all, Burgess is now among his most loyal crew members as well.
His level of loyalty is much higher than that of other crew members such as Lafite or Zoro, he can really sacrifice his life for Basire.
"Wiiihahaha~! Thank you Captain!"
Burgess immediately became excited, because he knew that with Basire's verbal promise, it meant that he at least had a chance of getting it, otherwise he would have said that there was no chance at all.
"Get ready to leave! I don't want to reveal our presence!"
Basire immediately ordered to board the ship and set sail. He didn't need the reputation of capturing Fire Fist Ace to increase his power, and he had already arranged a good target for his trap.
"Wiiihahaha! Don't worry, captain, this island has been wiped out. All these people are probably dead. No one will find out that we have been here!"
Burgess said carelessly, Sunset Island has now become a piece of scorched earth, and a large layer of the land had been scraped away, leaving no grass growing.
The earth was also baked by Ace's high-temperature miniature sun, and even the surface of the earth was hardened.
However, as if God was against Burgess, he had just finished saying this when a sharp black arrow shot straight at Blackbeard who was tied with seastones, going straight for his head.
Clang~!
A protective barrier appeared in front of Blackbeard just on time. The black arrow that was flying with a terrifying force hit the barrier and completely collapsed, breaking into several pieces.
"How dare you touch my trophy!"
Basire's eyes immediately became fierce as he looked at a figure holding a bow in the distance, with endless murderous intent erupting from his body.
Blackbeard's Dark Fruit ability is related to the core of all of his plans. If he were to be killed, most of his plans would have to be scrapped.
He will never let the Dark Fruit power go!
The majestic Conqueror's Haki exploded from his body, pressing crazily against the archer in the distance.
Holding the black bow, Dayi was pressed by Basire's sudden Conqueror's Haki and his whole body seemed to be pressed down by a mountain, feeling extremely heavy.
The terrifying pressure forced his legs to bend, and he was about to kneel down tremblingly, but his determination to take revenge on Blackbeard and Fire Fist Ace made him hold on.
"Captain, the arrow he just fired seemed to be entangled with Armament Haki."
Van Augur appeared next to Basire and said softly, with a slight fluctuation in his tone. You must know that even he can't wrap Armament Haki around his bullets yet.
He didn't expect that the young man across from him had already achieved this step at such a young age. Such talent really surprised him.
He had heard from Basire that in the island of the Pirate Empress, Amazon Lily, many kuja warriors could entangle Armament Haki on their bows and arrows.
"Then let's go and see who this guy is."
Basire also put away his murderous intentions and walked towards the young man with a bow who was struggling to hold on. This guy could last so long under his Conqueror's Haki. It seemed that he was also a tough person.
Maybe he could recruit him.
Everyone immediately walked over to the side where the attacker was.
"Tell me your name and the reason for attacking us!"
Basire walked up to the young man, and then asked coldly. He put away his domineering aura and gave the young man a chance to breathe.
However, he soon noticed the black longbow in the hands of the archer and became surprised. This longbow was actually almost comparable to a supreme grade sword!
He could feel that this black longbow was definitely as powerful as Kozuki Oden's sword Enma and Shimotsuki Ryuma's Shusui, or even stronger.
This f**king thing was almost comparable to Hawkeyes Mihawk's sword Yoru.
How many years has this bow been infused with powerful Armament Haki?
This is definitely a top weapon that has been passed down for countless years!
"Sunset Island Dayi! Those two bastards destroyed my hometown, so I must kill them!"
Dayi gritted his teeth and said. Even if Basire was a terrifying big shot, he could not stop his determination to take revenge.
"It turns out there is a survivor from Sunset Island, but since he dared to attack us, then the only option is to die or join us. Captain, only the dead can't spread our information!"
Kuro flapped his mantis wings and said softly after landing next to Basire. He clearly remembered his Captain's words. They cannot expose their whereabouts during this operation because there is a bigger plan for later.
"Did you hear that, kid?!"
"After seeing what we look like, you have no other choice. Tell me, do you want to die or live? By the way, your black bow is really good!"
Basire also said with a smile, it turns out that it's not this Dayi who is really that strong, but it's the bow that's strong instead.
This is a special and powerful bow that can absorb the owner's Haki or physical strength and automatically cover the arrows in haki.
However, the fact that Dayi can use this bow means that he has conquered it, or has at least obtained its approval.
