Resolve It Later

Bai Ye understood perfectly well why Blackbeard had done such a thing.

If Blackbeard had not acted, that would have been the truly suspicious part.

After all, he had waited for so many years.

Then the Dark-Dark Fruit had suddenly appeared. Blackbeard probably believed heaven itself was telling him that he had to act.

Otherwise, there was simply no way to explain it.

But then again, given the current situation, even Bai Ye knew Blackbeard could never give this up so easily.

If he gave it up, wouldn't Blackbeard be an idiot?!

So, since giving up was impossible, everyone knew what he would do.

Since Blackbeard would not give up on this matter, he was bound to make a move.

They had not considered that possibility at first, but after giving it some thought, Bai Ye suddenly realized that perhaps this was the Devil Fruit's choice.

When all was said and done, sometimes it was not people who ate Devil Fruits. It was Devil Fruits that chose people!

From that alone, the situation was already clear.

The Dark-Dark Fruit had chosen Blackbeard from the very beginning.

Bai Ye understood that much. Otherwise, could it have chosen Thatch?!

In any case, for Bai Ye,
