Kaido shoved the pirate aside. "I'm going up there to kill myself. Is this your first day knowing me? Remember this: if I die, you'll command the scene from then on."
The pirate immediately burst into tears. Captain, how many times had he said that? The problem was, who knew how many people he had entrusted with his last words had already died, while he himself was still alive and well?
The disturbance on Kaido's side immediately alerted the Blackbeard Pirates, slowing their pursuit of the Star Alliance.
"Damn it!" Blackbeard clenched his fists, gathering the aura of the Tremor-Tremor Fruit as he stared in the direction of the Beasts Pirates. He cursed, "Is that bastard trying to take advantage of the situation? Believe it or not, I'll punch him straight into the sea!"
"Captain, calm down!" Raphael immediately grabbed Blackbeard. "The Star Alliance people left behind some harsh words. Kaido has probably learned that the Poneglyph is in our hands. With his death-defying nature, it's only natural for him to charge straight at us and fight!"
Blackbeard stared unwillingly at the Eight Treasures Navy, which had barely moved out of the cannon fire's range. Gritting his teeth, he said, "The Eight Treasures Navy only suffered minor injuries. That's nowhere near enough to avenge the two devastating losses we suffered. Are we really just letting them leave?"
Lafitte thought quickly before saying, "At most, the Eight Treasures Navy is just an inconspicuous fleet under the Star Alliance. Even if we cripple or wipe them out, the Star Alliance probably won't feel a thing. If we push them too hard and they turn back to join forces with Kaido against us, that'll be troublesome."
After Lafitte's persuasion, Blackbeard immediately began to hesitate. He had always been cautious and cunning by nature.
