Every pirate had carefully studied the Marines with formidable combat strength. After all, if they encountered powerful Marines and had no way to avoid them, no one would surrender without a fight. Every pirate who could would choose to resist.
Blackbeard stared at Momousagi in astonishment and asked, "A Marine Vice Admiral?"
"A former Marine Vice Admiral." Momousagi turned to look at Blackbeard, her tone calm. "I left the Marines some time ago, and I've already joined the Star Alliance. The news will probably spread within the next day or two."
Blackbeard looked grief-stricken. "Why? Why does every one of you choose the Star Alliance? What's so great about that brat? People as powerful as you should join someone like me and live a free and carefree 017 life, without restraints! Why work under that bastard with all his naive ideas?"
Momousagi thought for a moment before saying, "Because we have plenty of naive ideas too, just like him."
"Damn it!" Blackbeard's rapidly shifting expression gradually changed from shock to fury.
If it had been just one person, perhaps Blackbeard would not have been so enraged. But Momousagi was a Marine Admiral Candidate; her combat strength was obviously already enough to rival that of an Admiral. What kind of chain reaction would it cause for someone like her to join the Star Alliance?
Blackbeard, who had just been feeling so triumphant, instantly felt that his starting point had once again been brutally trampled by Ronglin. Ronglin always knew how to choose the most appropriate moment to create huge news for himself, bringing countless positive benefits to his Star Alliance.
The stronger his opponent was, the more irritated he felt!
"Buzz!"
Blackbeard activated both of his Devil Fruit abilities at once. He sprang into the air and lunged fiercely at Momousagi.
