Blackbeard: Are You All Idiots?

Unlike the other enthusiastic bidders, Teach, sitting in the Whitebeard Pirates' private box, was already showing signs of impatience.

Logically speaking, given his composure, he shouldn't have shown such an attitude, but who could understand the tension and anxiety in his heart? This was a wait of decades! If it were an ordinary person, they probably would have been unable to contain their excitement long ago.

Although Marco and the others noticed that Teach was acting strangely, they all took it as his desire for the Devil Fruit and his anxiety about whether he could obtain it.

"Haha, Teach brothers, don't worry. The Red Hair Pirates aren't interested in Devil Fruit. The Beasts Pirates are building a pure Zoan Fruit army, while the Big Mom Pirate Crew crave Paramecia Devil Fruit related to sweets. As for Nightmare, his Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse of the Apocalypse are all Devil Fruit User, so his expectations for Devil Fruit probably aren't too high either."

Jozu rarely launched into an analysis, "As for those other miscellaneous forces, they don't have the strength to compete with our Whitebeard Pirates, so don't worry, that Dark-Dark Fruit will soon be yours."

Teach's lips twitched. Not needing it didn't mean he wouldn't trip the other party up. The Four Emperors were in a competitive state, and how could he easily let the other party get their hands on a powerful fruit like the Dark-Dark Fruit?

Of course, in order to maintain his public image, Teach said "happily" and "Jozu, Brother Joz. I feel much calmer now."

"To be honest, I'm ashamed to say that I couldn't control myself in front of the Dark-Dark Fruit. I'm sorry for making you laugh." Teach scratched the back of his head, revealing his broken teeth, and gave a "simple" smile.

"This is the Dark-Dark Fruit, which is practically invincible even among Logia. It's normal for you to feel nervous," Marco said with a carefree laugh.

"Yes, I don't know why, but from the moment I saw this fruit, I had a strong urge. Perhaps, this is the fruit that was destined to be mine."

"Haha, Big Brother Teach, once you get this Dark-Dark Fruit, your strength might surpass that of your Second Division Commander Ace. But then, Old Man will probably let you lead a division on your own," a crew member joked.

"How could that be? Compared to Captain Ace, I'm still... far behind!" Teach's expression became unnatural, as if he were constipated, and even his previously fluent sentences paused.

"Hmm? Teach, what's wrong?" Marco asked with concern, noticing his strange expression.

"Haha, it's nothing..." Teach's constipation was getting stronger and stronger, and he finally couldn't help but ask, "Brother Marco, don't you feel anything is wrong?"

"Huh? No?" Marco looked puzzled, his lazy expression suddenly turning serious. "You mean... someone wants to attack our Whitebeard Pirates?"

"What? Ordinary people wouldn't dare to do that. Is it Red Hair or Nightmare? Or... the Gild Tesoro who has the advantage of terrain?" Jozu naturally didn't doubt Marco's words and kept asking questions like a machine gun.

"Damn it, how dare they attack us? Who gave them the guts?"

"Thank goodness we have Big Brother Teach!"

"By the way, Big Brother Teach, where are the enemies?"

Teach looked completely bewildered. "Did I say there were enemies? Can you guys please stop making such wild connections?"

It's not surprising that Marco is so sensitive. Even ordinary wild animals have a certain premonition of unknown dangers, let alone someone like him who ate the Phoenix Fruit, whose perception of danger is even more acute.

From the moment he entered this place today, he felt a vague sense of crisis lingering in his heart, as if something bad was about to happen. In his mind, the only ones capable of posing a threat to them were Red Hair and Nightmare.

Therefore, he kept using his Observation Haki to sense the area around Red Hair and Nightmare's private room, so he could react immediately to any movement they made, and he didn't pay any attention to the auction.

"You've misunderstood..." Teach was holding back his frustration. He was the one who used Observation Haki to stare intently at the Dark-Dark Fruit. No one else was so bored, and no one had Observation Haki as powerful as his.

So when he discovered that the "hideous" guy at the auction was trying to take his Dark-Dark Fruit, he almost lost his temper.

Fortunately, he had a strong mentality and knew he couldn't expose himself so early. Otherwise, how could he explain it? The big shots hadn't even noticed yet, but he, a mere underling, had. Anyone would find that strange.

"It's alright. There are many powerful people at this auction, including some monsters whose strength is even greater than mine. The auctioneer's little tricks shouldn't be able to hide from them. I just need to wait patiently." Teach was initially trying to hypnotize himself and calm himself down.

But when he realized that the auction was still going on and no one seemed to have noticed anything amiss, he felt a sudden panic. "Are you all noobs? Can't you see such an obvious move? It's one thing if others can't see it, but what's with Nightmare and Red Hair? They haven't said a word. Could it be that the auctioneer is one of their people? Were their confrontational attitude just for show?"

For a moment, Teach was also extremely anxious and his eyes were bloodshot. He could only offer a subtle reminder, hoping that Marco would realize what was going on. Although he had been plotting against the Whitebeard Pirates, he was still very familiar with Marco's strength. He thought that as long as he mentioned it, Marco would notice something.

To everyone's surprise, Marco didn't play by the rules at all and instead turned his attention to Red Hair and Nightmare, which almost made Teach so angry that he vomited blood.

"I'm referring to the one on the auction stage..." Teach knew the situation was urgent and didn't care about revealing any more information, so he pointed out more clearly.

Before Marco could speak, Jozu suddenly Ohm what was going on. Despite being a seemingly honest and simple man, he revealed a lewd and evil smile, winking at Teach and saying, "So that's what you meant, Brother Teach. I get it."

Seeing Jozu reveal a meaningful smile, the other crew members immediately understood.

"Haha, it seems Big Brother Teach has finally figured it out. Is he trying to get both money and people?"

"Hehe, so that's why Big Brother Teach suddenly wanted to have great strength. Turns out he wanted to win the heart of a beauty!"

"Big Brother Teach, don't be a coward, just go for it! You're an elite member of our Whitebeard Pirates. A mere auctioneer should be bowing down to your... cough cough, I mean, your feet!"

Marco was also swayed, his dead fish eyes revealing a gossipy glint. "Teach, don't worry, she can't escape. After the auction, I'll take you to see the Gild Tesoro. Although that guy is difficult to deal with, he'll probably still give me this much face."

Teach almost had a heart attack from anger. Damn it, by the time the auction is over, the Dark-Dark Fruit have already been eaten. What's the point of me playing then?

I don't know how long I can keep up with three updates a day, but I've been in pretty good shape lately, so I'll try my best to maintain that until this buff wears off. Therefore, everyone, I'm begging for your monthly tickets and recommendations with a 360° tiger-like landing!
