"Well..."
Silence is Cambridge tonight...
What is Cambridge? Blackbeard doesn't know. He doesn't even know Shakespeare.
Only...
He knows that silence is enough.
Looking at the silent Blackbeard and the remaining Whitebeard Pirates officers, Aramaki grinned and said, "Old Yakuza."
"Kura, you guys, why are you all so quiet now?"
Teach, weren't you being very arrogant just now?
So you're not afraid of me, but rather of Bullet, huh?
Because he used to be a pirate, right?
Well, let me tell you, whether he's a pirate or not is irrelevant. I'm now a commander on the Dark Bird Ship, who's even more terrifying than a pirate!
"If I don't become even more ferocious than you vicious creatures, how can I subdue you trash and restore the sea to its freedom and peace?"
At this point, Aramaki shook his head, adjusting his sunglasses to fit more securely.
Then, without any hesitation, he found a chair and sat down.
In the distance, the Bullet is gradually approaching.
On the Moby Dick, Aramaki sat and waved to those around him.
"What are you looking at, you guys? Hurry up and bring me some wine!"
Now that I've drunk your wine, I'm a guest. And guests don't kill all their hosts!
It shouldn't be like that!
But if you won't even give me a glass of wine, don't blame me for going on a killing spree!
Although Gawain Gawain's orders to me weren't to kill you all, he didn't forbid me from killing you all either, haha!
Amidst the loud laughter, Aramaki glanced at Marco with disdain.
Meeting Aramaki's gaze, Marco pondered for a moment, then gave a warm smile.
"That's right, Mr. Aramaki. How can the Whitebeard Pirates be impolite to our guests!"
As the Pops's sons, our manners are the best in the entire pirate world.
Come on, fill Mr. Araki's cup!
As he spoke, Markotic waved, signaling him to quickly get down from the top seat.
Between the pirates and the sea monsters, Blackbeard had to take up the mantle to prove his existence and further expand the influence of the Blackbeard name.
However, facing the navy and the Dark Bird Ship, it wouldn't be appropriate to be the first to stick one out at this time.
Since Araki said he was here as a guest.
Then I'll take the blame in my Pops's name and do everything I can to survive!
At the top of the table, Teach understood Marco's expression, but he was still extremely unhappy.
Because he, Teach, has never been one to humble himself.
But don't forget, although Teach doesn't like to be subservient, he is exceptionally flexible and adaptable.
The next moment, Teach chuckled and stood up, then jogged towards Aramaki.
"Hehehe, Brother Araki is here as a guest. I was impolite just now. I'll punish myself with three drinks later, haha!"
Come, come, Brother Weevil, come and greet Brother Aramaki!
These are officers of the Dark Bird Ship, elites under Gawain's command.
Don't forget, Gawain a man even our Pops couldn't defeat!
"Oh my god, this is so scary, so really scary!!!"
Weevil Cup Teach's words startled him, and he quickly moved closer.
Logically speaking, Miss Bakkin wouldn't have allowed Weevil to be so obedient.
Unfortunately, Miss Bakkin has already passed away...
Indeed, no one noticed how Miss Bakkin died; probably only one person knew about her death.
That's Teach!
Teach could accept Weevil, his younger brother, as a key officer and important combatant under his command.
But he absolutely could not accept being bossed around by Miss Bakkin!
Weevil was initially very saddened by this, but he had already endured the pain of losing his most admired father in the war.
So even after losing his mother, he didn't become despondent. Instead, because of his childlike mindset and the acceptance and recognition he received from his older brothers, he became slightly happier.
Even...
As he slept at night, Weevil couldn't help but feel the absence of his mother's nagging on his shoulder...
Surprisingly, it was surprisingly enjoyable!
However, while Weevil enjoyed himself, the Aramaki...
When Aramaki saw that only Weevil had come over, his expression turned sour!
He quickly became more serious and then asked Marco.
"Wait, if Weevil is here, where's Miss Bakkin? And his adoptive mother?"
At this point, Aramaki stared nervously at Marco, his expression sending a shiver down Teach's spine.
"Miss Bakkin... hehehe, Miss Bakkin accidentally died during the retreat from the war a few days ago."
I wonder what Brother Aramaki wants with him?
Teach asked cautiously.
Upon hearing this, Aramaki frowned, then let out a long sigh.
"Is Miss Bakkin?"
That's really something!
That's someone the adults specifically requested to see!
At this point, Aramaki helplessly slapped the table.
"Old Ba and I came here on the orders of the master to invite the three of you to our ship for a discussion."
These three people are you, Blackbeard, and the other two are Weevil and Miss Bakkin.
But now, sigh...
Explain it to the adult yourselves, and pray that he won't be angry!
To be honest, Gawain is really fierce these days. Even Old Ba and I tremble in his presence!
"Indeed!"
In the distance, Bullet leaped directly onto the Moby Dick.
Bullet shrugged as he thought about everything that happened yesterday.
A dying king is indeed terrifying, like a ferocious tiger ready to devour its prey!
Gawain is not like those indecisive guys like Roger.
Bullet had no doubt that killing him would allow both of them to live longer.
Roger would surely give up on himself out of weakness.
And Gawain...
He would only hold a grand memorial party for himself after his death!
And this is precisely why Bullet admires Gawain!
Because in Bullet's eyes, a true strongman should be like Gawain!
In the past, he had followed Roger for a period of time.
But in reality, Bullet left Roger before even reaching Laugh Tale!
As for the reason, well, it's a clash of philosophies!
Bullet greatly admired Roger's strength, but he particularly disliked Roger's personality!
It's best to kill fewer people, do fewer evil deeds, and avoid doing this or that!
Despite being a powerful figure, he chose to live like a weakling, and even after becoming the Pirate King, he ultimately gave up his life and disbanded his pirate crew!!!
That guy is a complete waste of his talent and strength!
According to Bullet, if the strong and the weak all live in the same way, that is a regression for society!
In such a society, who would want to become stronger?
If the strong cannot control the lives of the weak, if the strong are not entitled to more.
What's the point of getting stronger then?
If the strong must take care of every weak person, then all you need to do is become weak enough, because there will always be a strong person to take care of you!
This is Bullet's simple worldview.
In his view, once you've reached a level of strength that no one can challenge, you should live as you please!
It was with this in mind that Roger's Pirates disbanded, and shortly after he felt he had become stronger.
He immediately challenged the Navy's Buster Call!
He wanted to know if he had truly reached the point where he could ignore everything!
In his view, Roger would definitely not be captured in the face of the Buster Call!
If he reaches that level, he'll be even more unrestrained!
Unfortunately, he didn't achieve it.
And then, after he was released from prison.
In the original storyline, he spent two years regaining his peak strength after his debut, and then challenged a series of powerful opponents.
After being defeated by Mihawk, Shanks, Kaido, and others.
Feeling that he was not strong enough, Bullet resolutely launched Stampede!
In other words, it's a challenge where the world's strongest warriors are lured into attacking them by using the Eternal Pose Laugh Tale as bait.
He wants to use that kind of challenge to make himself stronger!
Although he never put his ideals into practice, because he never took that step to become the strongest person he imagined.
But in his view, the ferocity and unquestionable attitude that Gawain displayed in that instant yesterday was what he truly craved and pursued!
That's right!
A truly admirable strong person is one who is decisive and ruthless in their self-interest!
If you don't consider your own interests, then why should the strong become stronger?
Thinking this, a fierce glint suddenly flashed in Bullet's eyes!
Because he understood Gawain better, Bullet was very clear that if he and Aramaki couldn't perfectly bring back the people Gawain wanted, then...
If Gawain's problem remains unresolved precisely because of Miss Bakkin's death.
Then he and Aramaki might really lose their lives!!!
Bullet clenched his fist with a fierce look on his face, then nodded to Aramaki.
"Brother Araki, we're in big trouble. It seems we're destined to fail in the mission the adults assigned us!"
Since that's the case, why don't we just take the entire Whitebeard Pirates back with us!
Let them explain the circumstances of Miss Bakkin's death themselves; perhaps then the adults' attention and punishment won't all fall on us!
After speaking, Bullet waited silently for Aramaki's reply.
Across from him, after glancing at the nervous Bullet, Aramaki nodded helplessly.
"Yes, taking them back with us might distract the adults."
Otherwise, the two of us can only hope that Miss Bakkin won't be of much use!
After saying that, Aramaki and Bullet turned around at the same time, and then looked fiercely at Blackbeard, Marco and the others.
Seeing the two monsters' fierce expressions, Marco looked embarrassed and chuckled awkwardly.
"No... no way, Boss Gawain is still very kind, and he appreciates me quite a bit."
Even his flag has my image in it.
"It shouldn't be as dangerous as you're saying, right?"
"Brother!"
Before Marco could finish speaking, Teach shrugged helplessly.
"There's no need to say too much to them. Can't you see it?"
We have no choice at all!
Even if Kaido were to be resurrected, or Big Mom were still alive, she probably wouldn't be able to defeat them with her own pirate crew.
Aside from terrifying guys like Pops and Garp, no one can handle two monsters at the same time!
At this point, Teach angrily drew his Murakumogiri and then spoke to Bullet and Aramaki.
"Tch ha ha ha, don't put on that serious face, you two!"
I'm a guest invited by your boss, you should at least treat me like a guest!
I'm not Garp or Pops; I don't have the power to take on two monsters at the same time!
Let's go, shall we set off now?
"Since Boss Gawain has entrusted our Pops's body to us, surely he wouldn't kill all of us, the only remaining sons of our Pops, right after our Pops's burial!"
At this point, Teach patted Marco on the shoulder generously.
"Don't worry, Brother Marco, and Brother Weevil too."
We're about to learn something new!
It's been so long since I've had the fine wine from the Dark Bird Ship.
The cherry pie on their ship was absolutely delicious, haha!
Amidst laughter, Teach agreed to Bullet and Aramaki's threats and promptly led the Whitebeard Pirates towards the Dark Bird Ship.
Teach doesn't have many virtues. Aside from his everlasting ambition and cunning, his greatest remaining virtues are his boldness and his ability to read people!
He was bold because he was genuinely unafraid; he firmly believed that someone like Gawain wouldn't kill him using such a deceptive method.
As for judging people...
Nearly eighty years old, Garp single-handedly stormed Beehive Island, protecting the Koby, reckless, and utterly incompetent Koby while simultaneously taking on the Blackbeard Pirates' executives.
That includes Kuzan and Shiryu, two standard Admiral- level combatants!
With that kind of Garp, isn't he qualified to take on two monsters at the same time?
Even when outnumbered, Garp and Whitebeard could hold out for a long time; this truly demonstrates the strength of veteran top-tier warriors!
Just as the Blackbeard Pirates set sail for the Dark Bird Ship.
Ryugu Kingdom.
Madame Shyarly rode in the seahorse Bubble Car and went straight to the Dark Bird Ship.
After being led by Stussy to avoid Shirahoshi, Madame Shyarly was secretly taken into Gawain's room.
As soon as she entered the room, the lady saw Gawain wrapped in a blanket, with part of his shoulder exposed...
"Why???
You, you, you shouldn't act recklessly...
Although everyone calls me Madame Shyarly, I've never been married!
I will never marry a married man!!!
While teasing her, Madame Shyarly wagged her beautiful tail and moved closer to Gawain's bedside.
As she tossed her streamlined, fish-like buttocks onto the bedding, Gawain turned to Chopper, who was taking care of him, and said...
"Chopper, let's go to Sister Kureha's. Let me and Madame Shyarly be alone for a while."
"But your condition... okay."
Chopper was about to retort when he met Gawain's unquestionable gaze.
So, Chopper nervously handed the silk scarf to Madame Shyarly.
"Hey, Merfolk sister, if Uncle bleeds, don't be alarmed. Just wipe him clean."
I'm leaving now. Take good care of Uncle during this time.
"Waaaaah, patients should be resting properly, this is making me so worried, waaaaah!!!"
Lying in her hospital bed, watching Chopper's departing figure, Madame Shyarly took a deep breath.
She reached under the covers and gently grasped Gawain's hand.
"Is it because you're worried that if something really happens to you, you don't want any of my words to get out?"
Don't worry, sir. I saw your future many times back during the war days ago.
In the future I envision, you always sit on your Golden Throne, issuing commands with such power that it's truly awe-inspiring!
You will survive!
