Momousagi, watching from not far away, was also slightly taken aback. They were all Zoan Devil Fruit ability users. Clearly, Ronglin had deliberately built a force that relied on martial arts to increase its strength. She had thought he was joking before, but it seemed that man really was serious about her.
"Oh?" Jazz asked. "You seem quite happy."
Blackbeard spread his right hand, and white light gathered around it as the Tremor-Tremor Fruit's power instantly concentrated in his palm. "Of course! I was just wondering where I could find Devil Fruits to strengthen my crew, but you're being so generous, delivering so many Fruits right to my doorstep. I'm almost embarrassed!"
Blackbeard, who possessed the Dark-Dark Fruit's ability, seemed to have the power to strip others of their Devil Fruit abilities. Jazz had once heard Ronglin mention it.
Today, Jazz had deliberately wanted the Phantom Group to establish their reputation, which was why he had them transform in full view of everyone. He had not expected Blackbeard to become excited because of it.
"If you want them, come take them!" Jazz laughed. "My offer still stands. If I move even once, I lose!"
"What an arrogant brat!" Blackbeard burst into wild laughter. "I hate people like you the most!"
Boom!
The surrounding Blackbeard fleet began to move, and their warships opened fire on the Eight Treasures Navy.
"Return fire!" Chinjao and Old Cai could no longer pretend to calmly sit and drink tea. This little ancestor had started a war with the Blackbeard Pirates in just a few words, leaving them miserable beyond measure.
If anything happened to Jazz, how were they supposed to answer to Ronglin when they returned?
They should never have listened to him. They should have retreated at full speed from the very beginning! Chinjao
