Blackbeard Arrives
"Hiss... It's Pluton, Captain. I think I'm starting to understand where your confidence in overthrowing the World Government comes from." Even with Shiryu's composure, he couldn't help but be shocked and stunned when he heard about such a powerful weapon as Ancient Weapon.
"Hehehe, at most we'll only plunder one country, but Captain, you want to conquer the whole world. Such crazy ambition... it's truly mesmerizing!" Katarina laughed loudly, hands on her hips.
"This is what real pirates should do! But, can I be the captain, meow?" The Evil King's ambition began to spread again.
"Hehe, if you think you can beat the captain, you might as well give it a try," World encouraged with ill intent.
Buggy and Mr. 3, who were standing to the side, started to tremble with their usual 'sexual' shivers again. Even though they had been hanging out with these big shots for a while, they still couldn't get used to their style at all!
They just wanted to find a powerful ally to escape Impel Down. The idea of conquering Impel Down was already pushing their limits, and the idea of overthrowing the World Government" was enough to wake them up from their dreams!
However, after regaining his composure, Buggy's mind started racing again. This was the Grand Line, after all. Even if he escaped, he probably wouldn't be able to return to the Four Seas alive. But if he followed this big shot, maybe those monsters with bounties over a hundred million wouldn't dare to do anything to him. Then, hehehehe...
"Hey, Mr. 3, your boss's boss is really too ruthless! I originally thought he wanted to follow in Captain Roger's footsteps and become the second Pirate Kings, but now it seems that his ambition is much more terrifying than Captain Roger's!"
"Although Captain Roger eventually became the Pirate Kings, and that journey was indeed like a dream, if we really compare, it might be more enjoyable to follow Boss Nightmare now."
"After all, we spent ten months of that year being chased by the Navy. Even Captain Roger himself was eventually publicly executed by the Navy. It was hardly a pleasant journey. How could it compare to the exhilaration of following Nightmare and fighting and killing anyone we encountered? Not to mention the Marine Headquarters, even the World Government couldn't do anything to us. That's what a true Pirate Kings is all about!"
Mr. 3's face twitched twice. "So, all that flattery was for..."
"Hehe, of course it's so I can Dream-Enter's crew. Don't you have connections? Can you recommend me?" Buggy said, winking.
Mr. 3 remained expressionless, indicating that he was a heartless salted fish. In his heart, he thought, This guy is starting to lose his mind again. Behind this big shot is a group of level 6 pirates. Who would want a level 1 noob like you? Of course, I, a level 2 salted fish, definitely have no hope either (??).
"Captain, something's not right. Logically speaking, Impel Down is already in such a mess, Warden Magellan should have come out by now. Besides, the Holy Land Mary Geoise isn't too far from Impel Down, so it's impossible that reinforcements haven't arrived yet. Also, we haven't encountered the former Chief Warden Shiryu of the Rain and his Level 6 fugitives..." Laffitte said with some worry, pulling down the brim of his hat.
Blackbeard had also lost his initial madness, and vaguely felt that the situation was developing beyond his control. "Indeed, we must Shiryu of the Rain before the powerful figures of the World Government arrive."
"Captain, things might not be as bad as you think. Shiryu of the Rain was the former Chief Warden of Impel Down, and his control over Impel Down was even greater than that of Warden Magellan. If he had planned to defect long ago, he would have rushed to the monitoring room to cut off communication with the outside world the moment he escaped from Level 6. Perhaps the support from the World Government will never come."
Van Augur added, "Perhaps the reason Magellan hasn't shown up yet is because he's in the monitoring room fighting Shiryu of the Rain for those Den Den Mushi."
"Hahaha, that makes sense! Let's go and give our future ally a big gift!"
In the monitoring room, watching his original target walk towards him step by step, Roy's expression was quite strange. "So cooperative?"
"Captain, it seems you value these people more than Magellan and the CP0 sent by the World Government?" Having just been released from prison, Shiryu didn't know much about Blackbeard, but judging from Roy's attitude, he knew that these people were definitely not simple.
"Don't underestimate this black guy. In fact, he was the culprit who started the war between the Marine Headquarters and the Whitebeard Pirates. Even I'm not sure I can kill him."
Roy wasn't exaggerating. The Four Emperors are practically the ceiling of the Pirate World. If they were that easy to kill, the Marine Headquarters wouldn't have kept its forces confined to the first half of the Grand Line.
The two Four Emperors who died now, Big Mom died because of a flaw in her heart, and Kaido died purely because he brought it upon himself. But Blackbeard is not like these two. He is a cunning and ruthless tyrant. Roy would never believe that he did not leave himself any backup plan.
"Hmm? They've arrived already? Gentlemen, let's welcome these new guests together. Remember to use every means at your disposal to make these guests feel our sincerity!"
"Hehehe, Captain, don't worry, we'll definitely take good care of these little cuties..." The group of great pirates laughed maliciously, causing Buggy and his companion, realizing that a battle was about to break out, to tremble and retreat to a corner, hugging each other for warmth.
"Zehahaha..." Blackbeard had intended to make a splash the moment he pushed open the door and become the center of attention. And he did indeed succeed. Being stared at by fifteen bloodthirsty eyes, he was undoubtedly the center of attention. However, it wasn't what he had imagined.
Even with Blackbeard's strength, being surrounded by these wolves made him break out in a cold sweat. He cursed inwardly, "Damn it, what happened to the great battle between Magellan and these pirates? And why are they so hostile towards me? These fifteen great pirates..."
"Wait, why are there fifteen people?" Blackbeard suddenly woke up and quickly noticed the figure that shouldn't be there. His eyes widened. "Nightmare, why are you here?"
Before Roy could answer, Blackbeard had already filled in the blank in his mind, "I know, he has the same idea as me, so the one in Marine Headquarters must be his clone."
"Looking back now, even if Hawkeye hadn't challenged him, he probably would have initiated the fight anyway, just to make the Marine Headquarters lower their guard and subconsciously believe that his main body would stay at the Marine Headquarters."
Blackbeard was now sweating profusely. Although he and Nightmare didn't have much interaction, they now shared the same goal. If they weren't allies, they could only be enemies!
