After disposing of Jesus Burgess's body, Blackbeard Teach left Jaya Island with his three surviving companions.

Meanwhile, Oboro returned to the tavern in the center of town.

"What about them?"

Dom breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that Oboro had returned unharmed.

He felt that the guy named Marshall D. Teach was... very dangerous.

Although they trusted Oboro's abilities, they were still afraid that something might go wrong... However, Oboro told them not to follow.

Outside the town, the group had also witnessed the strange phenomena caused by Oboro's battle with Blackbeard... They had thought that Oboro would bring back a few corpses or capture the Blackbeard Pirates, but it turned out that he hadn't.

The battle ended quickly.

"They've already left."

"Oboro said softly."

Released?

Rob Lucci seemed to be deep in thought.

Based on their brief encounter, the Blackbeard Pirates seem quite similar to the Hell Pirates, and Marshall D. Teach and his crew are also quite dangerous. It's somewhat surprising that the God Slayer didn't try to recruit them... and instead let them go.

"That Blackbeard used to be Whitebeard Pirates."

The group then went inside, sat down, and began waiting for their meal.

Dom started the conversation.

Clearly, during the time Oboro was chasing after Marshall D. Teach, he learned about the man by contacting information brokers.

"Um."

"It seems he killed the captain of his squad for a Devil Fruit."

"This person is dangerous."

"Ugh... Murder and looting don't happen often at sea. Many One Piece would turn against their crew for gold and silver, even if they were fighting side by side just a moment ago." Kaka crossed his legs and complained, "But for this to happen in Yonko's crew is a bit unbelievable... In general, his motive for killing is understandable, but it's still despicable. Being One Piece... shouldn't involve focusing solely on material things... that's too monotonous and boring."

"Furthermore, I've also heard that Whitebeard is quite good to his 'sons' on his ship..."

"I killed that purple-haired guy... and gave the rest of them divine power."

Long leaned back in his chair and chimed in.

The others didn't react.

After all, this wasn't the first time Oboro had bestowed power upon One Piece.

It mainly depends on his purpose.

For example, those One Piece in the North Blue were there to create chaos and buy time in the Twin Cape War.

"Does the captain think... Blackbeard and his crew can accomplish something? Create trouble for the World Government?" Rob Lucci asked.

He needed to figure out what Oboro was thinking. If the Hell Pirates joined forces with Blackbeard, he needed to remind the higher-ups.

"That's part of the reason... but I gave them power not out of any intention to exploit them, but simply because I was bored." Oboro smiled, while Rob Lucci looked puzzled and somewhat confused.

Long added, "Marshall D. Teach is a complete schemer, and we will settle accounts with him in the New World for what happened this time... In other words, he will be one of our future enemies."

"Since they are enemies..."

Rob Lucci hesitated, as if he wanted to say something but then stopped.

Why not just kill him now? Instead, why give him divine power?

Boring?

"I hope he can put some pressure on me... A strong opponent is what motivates you... right?" Long looked at Rob Lucci and smiled.

For excitement... or perhaps to add some spice to his sea voyage? The thoughts of God Slayer are unfathomable, and that's certainly a possibility... However, Rob Lucci felt that the truth wasn't as simple as the other party made it out to be.

After a while, everyone began to eat.

Long then focused her thoughts on the system.

He currently has very few card resources left in his system... The abilities he bestowed upon the Blackbeard Pirates were all experience cards and skill cards, not bloodline cards. Among the cards given to Teach and his crew were resource cards that had been converted from the time he killed Marine Vice Admiral John Jaundo in the East Blue Kingdom... covering swordsmanship, physical skills, and Haki, with Laffitte as the target. Although the skill cards didn't quite fit Laffitte... Oboro originally gave them out with the intention of clearing out 'useless cards'.

Lafitte isn't one of us, so it doesn't matter.

The skill card Blackbeard obtained originated from the Blood Demon Art in the Demon Slayer world. It was from one of his 'Will Inheritors' at the time, and the ability was called 'Shadow'... a clone formed from 'shadow' that retains a portion of the original's strength. Its combat power is amplified during the night.

Similarly, during the day, the ability will be weakened.

The number of clones is less than ten.

It's a good match for Marshall D. Teach's Devil Fruit ability, so it's not a useless card.

The main reason Oboro gave him this ability was that the Blackbeard Pirates would distract the Celestial Dragons from most of their attention in the future... Moreover, Marshall D. Teach's ambition was to conquer the world. In short... at least in the short term, he was an ally of the 'Hell Pirates'.

Currently, in Oboro's system, the number of Bloodline Card is less than twenty. Low-tier cards are all gone, as they were almost entirely used for the Twin Cape War and previous development in the North Blue. When he defeated Shiki, his injuries were too severe to loot his legacy. However, by then, those floating islands had been almost completely destroyed or sunk into the sea... their remaining value was minimal, and his men were either dead or wounded... plus, the navy arrived on the scene, leaving little time.

These fewer than twenty Bloodline Card mean that any further attempts to create new Demon Tribe must be made with extreme caution... The quota for this power from another world is about to run out. Therefore, Oboro plans to use them all on the 'Hell Pirates'.

In the future, Dom and his companions will each lead a fleet or squadron, and they will need strong allies under their command.

As for experience cards and skill cards, there are very few left... but in One Piece, you can find conversion targets anytime, anywhere.

It doesn't really matter.

Bloodline Card are relatively special. Although there are many bloodlines in One Piece, relatively few have the effect of increasing combat power.

More often, they are functional bloodline races.

For example, Oboro extracted a Bloodline Card from the giant vice admiral he had killed before.

But if used on others, it might not turn them into Giants; at most, it would just increase their size and give them some limited power... because the will of this world is targeting them.

He currently has three top-tier resource cards that he hasn't used yet.

Golden Lion Shiki, Muzan Kibutsuji, and Doma.

Now that Oboro has a clear understanding of the power in the One Piece world, Doma's resource cards... it's estimated that it would be difficult to artificially create a 'first mate' level combatant, unless the target of the baptism already has extremely powerful abilities.

If used properly, the resource cards of Muzan Kibutsuji and Golden Lion Shiki can be very valuable.

There is a chance... to add a Yonko commander to the Hell Pirates, or even a monster on par with the Yonko.

The reason he rushed to Skypiea this time was for this purpose.

Enel.

Otherwise, once Luffy and his crew arrive first, the defeated Enel might escape...

We're going to the moon.

It's worth mentioning that Oboro wasn't trying to recruit Enel, but rather that Enel was a resource he was determined to acquire... Just like Shiki, if Enel refused to join the Hell Pirates, then... his fate would be the same as Shiki's.
