Just as King Luffy and Buggy were leading a group of helpers in a jailbreak,
the Blackbeard Pirates ran into them halfway through.
"Zehahahaha... Didn't expect to run into you here, Straw Hat Kid."
Grinning arrogantly, Blackbeard made no attempt to hide the fact that she had captured Ace.
"You were the one we were supposed to catch, Straw Hat Kid. I've got to hand it to you for surviving an admiral."
King Luffy flew into a rage and immediately kicked off Second Gear.
Watching Teach roll around on the ground in pain again, Hades almost could not bear to look.
This Blackbeard...
She got beaten up every single time before making a comeback. She had none of a true powerhouse's bearing.
Naturally, Blackbeard struck back afterward. With a Dark Water, she nullified the Rubber Fruit ability, dragged him over, and smashed him into the ground.
Then came an explanation of her Devil Fruit ability.
Honestly,
it seemed that no one in the King of Pirates' world ever hid their Devil Fruit abilities.
Right from the start, they would announce what Fruit they had eaten and what kind of person it made them, as though they were showing off their abilities.
Unless they were genuinely powerful, it often just let their opponents find their weaknesses.
But he never did that.
He had never said, "I'm a Warp Fruit user."
King Luffy was then stopped by Jinbe, who said that this was not the time to fight.
Crocodile, meanwhile, looked at Blackbeard with contempt.
"So you're the pirate who replaced me as a Shichibukai?"
"Austin's judgment has really gotten worse and worse ever since she took a liking to that Doflamingo...
Only that axe-wielding one looks like a real powerhouse. Hey! Want to join me?!!!"
Blackbeard had not expected Crocodile's eyes
