Crocodile Was Like a Father to Me-He'd Done Me a Great Kindness!

Blackbeard Teach was instantly terrified, and even broke out in a cold sweat.

That's Blue-Eyes White Dragon!

That's the White Dragon Emperor!

Blackbeard Teach harbors ambitions and dreams of becoming king and dominating the land, and even wants to challenge his father, Whitebeard.

He won and became the Pirate Emperor.

He lost and was forced to inherit the family business.

The main strategy is to act decisively and strategically, ensuring that whatever the outcome, it is in his favor.

The most important thing is to challenge Whitebeard, without encountering any danger to his life.

But challenging the White Dragon Emperor?

Blackbeard Teach vaguely saw the figures of the King of Lizards, the Sea Scoundrel, and Ochoku, and the last one to flash before his eyes was Big Mom, the previous Pirate Emperor of Totto Land.

Of Great Pirate who fought against the White Dragon Emperor, how many met a good end?

The vast majority of Great Pirate simply vanished into thin air!

Run!

We have to run!

"Damn it! Why did we have to wait for this monster? Couldn't they have just sent any subordinate?!"

Blackbeard Teach wiped the cold sweat from his face and immediately decided to run away.

"I don't want to fight the White Dragon Emperor right now! Men, let's retreat!"

Blackbeard Teach enjoys high prestige within the Blackbeard Pirates.

His orders are usually accepted by the people.

But this time is different.

Even Gizzas Jesus Burgess, who was most loyal to Blackbeard Teach, raised objections at this time.

"Boss, the White Dragon Emperor is flying in the sky riding his Blue-Eyes White Dragon. We can't escape, can we?"

Blackbeard Teach was stunned, his legs rooted to the ground like tree roots.

Now he was truly drenched in sweat.

Fighting... definitely not.

There's no escaping it!

Blackbeard Teach's fierce gaze swept across the surroundings, locking onto the only "bargain" —Crocodile!

Before the Blue-Eyes White Dragon descended.

Blackbeard Teach lunged forward, bursting into his fastest speed, and rushed straight to the Sand Crocodile, grabbing its vital parts.

In the very next moment.

Boom!

The Blue-Eyes White Dragon descended from the sky with terrifying power, and the entire island seemed to tremble at its feet.

The members of the Blackbeard Pirates silently surrounded their Captain.

Blackbeard Teach held the Sand Crocodile captive while looking up at the majestic Blue-Eyes White Dragon.

"Hahaha! White Dragon Emperor! You really came!"

Storm stood atop the head of the Blue-Eyes White Dragon, looking down at the Blackbeard Pirates.

"Didn't you send me here? Now that I'm here, you seem a little unhappy?"

There's no way I could be happy!

Blackbeard Teach was filled with unease.

All I wanted was a warship. Who told you to fly here on your own?

And what about the ship!?

Blackbeard Teach didn't believe that the Blue-Eyes White Dragon could carry a large warship at the same time.

But looking up at the indifferent-looking White Dragon Emperor, he could only bite the bullet and start a conversation.

"Thief, thief! Hahaha! How could I not be happy? But where is what I asked for?"

"I can give you a boat."

Storm's calm voice drifted down from the head of the Blue-Eyes White Dragon.

What do you think of the 'Moby Dick'?

"Moby Dick!?"

Blackbeard Teach's pupils contracted slightly.

Who in the New World doesn't know that this ship is the flagship of the Whitebeard Pirates?

Could it be that the White Dragon Emperor meant something like...?

"You want to declare war on the Whitebeard Pirates?"

Even with Blackbeard Teach's courage, he was somewhat terrified at this moment.

"You want... me to help you secretly?"

Upon hearing this, Storm raised an eyebrow slightly.

How exactly did Blackbeard Teach come to this conclusion?

Has this guy misunderstood something?

A sudden surge of wicked pleasure arose in Storm's mind; he wanted to test Blackbeard Teach's "capacity."

"How can the Captain of the Blackbeard Pirates become the Second Division Commander of the Whitebeard Pirates?"

That's right!

Blackbeard Teach nodded seriously.

From the moment the Blackbeard Pirates were formed, he and Whitebeard were completely equals—at least that's what he believed in his heart.

Why is the Blackbeard Pirates inferior to the Whitebeard Pirates?

But when the White Dragon Emperor's spy betrays Old Man Whitebeard...

Blackbeard Teach's eyes flickered.

"White Dragon Emperor, don't you know that Whitebeard is my father?"

Storm scoffed.

"Someone like you, would you even care about such an ephemeral feeling?"

Storm believed he had a good enough understanding of Blackbeard Teach's character.

On the normal timeline.

During a routine operation, the fourth division of the Whitebeard Pirates unexpectedly obtained the legendary [Logia Dark-Dark Fruit], which is said to possess the "most vicious power in history."

Naturally, this [Logia Dark- Dark-Dark Fruit] fell into the hands of Thatch, the captain of the Fourth Division.

Thatch is the cook of the Whitebeard Pirates. He has known Blackbeard Teach for many years, and their relationship can be described as that of "close friends" or even "family".

However, for the sake of that [Logia Dark- Dark-Dark Fruit], Blackbeard Teach did not hesitate to betray Thatch, killing him on the spot and forcibly taking the [Dark-Dark Fruit].

Given Thatch's personality and his friendly relationship with Blackbeard Teach.

If Blackbeard Teach were to formally ask Thatch for the [Logia Dark- Dark-Dark Fruit], Thatch might very well agree.

But to ensure everything went perfectly, Blackbeard Teach still brazenly chose to kill Thatch!

Blackbeard Teach.

This is a villain who will stop at nothing to climb to the top for his own ambition and dreams!

Friends? Brothers? Family?

Stop joking!

Blackbeard Teach could never care about this kind of relationship.

"White Dragon Emperor, you've misunderstood..."

The strange light in Blackbeard Teach's eyes grew even stronger.

"Whitebeard is my father, whose kindness to me is as great as a mountain, as if he had given me a second life..."

"You need to pay more!!!"

The members of the Blackbeard Pirates standing nearby all looked at their leader with strange expressions.

Even judging by the moral standards of pirates.

Blackbeard Teach's remarks were all extremely vulgar.

He's the worst of the worst, the scum of the earth.

"Hmph! As expected of you!"

Storm chuckled again, then waved his hand, and a door opened in the void.

Several Devil Fruit of various shapes fell out of the Space Door.

"These are... the [Logia Snow- Snow Snow Fruit], the Paramecia [Teleport Fruit], [Island-Island Fruit], and [Mercury- Mercury Fruit], and the [Zoan -type Snake-Snake Fruit, Mythical Zoan, Yamata no Orochi Form]."

The Blackbeard Pirates currently only have five members.

Aside from Blackbeard Teach, there's Gizas Jesus Burgess, Lafitte, Van Augur, and Doc Q.

The five Devil Fruits that Storm took out at this moment were just enough to "arm" all the members of the Blackbeard Pirates, leaving no one out.

And coincidentally, both the Paramecia Teleport Fruit and the Paramecia Island-Island Fruit will Devil Fruit belong to members of the Blackbeard Pirates.

Van Augur, Devil Fruit User the Teleport Fruit.

The Devil Fruit User the [Island-Island Fruit] Avalon Pizarro.

Storm was pretty sure Blackbeard Teach would want those two Devil Fruits.

As for the Snow Snow Fruit, the Mercury Fruit, and the Yamata no Orochi Fruit...

The first two are one thing, but that's another.

Storm thought Blackbeard Teach might also be somewhat interested in the last Mythical Zoan Devil Fruit.

After all, no matter what.

The Yamata no Orochi Fruit can grant its user the ability to "revive"!

This doesn't even take into account the other superpowers possessed by the [Yamata no Orochi Fruit].

As expected.

Blackbeard Teach looked at the Devil Fruit beside the White Dragon Emperor, and a longing look involuntarily appeared in his eyes.

He is truly obsessed with the power of Devil Fruit!

Moreover, the Devil Fruit that the White Dragon Emperor brought out were all of extremely high quality.

Blackbeard Teach was truly tempted.

But at that moment, his rationality suddenly kicked in.

Or perhaps, his greed is taking hold.

Since the White Dragon Emperor can produce five Devil Fruits at once...

This means that the White Dragon Emperor possesses far more than just five Devil Fruits in his reserves!

"Not enough... not enough!"

Blackbeard Teach demanded an exorbitant amount.

"I want more Devil Fruit! Give me these Devil Fruit now."

"After this is all done... you'll have to give me five more Devil Fruit!"

Pirates' greed is never satisfied.

Not to mention Blackbeard Teach, a pirate among pirates!

However.

"Blackbeard Teach, are you serious?"

Storm smiled smugly and waved his hand, sending all the Devil Fruit he had just taken out back into the "Treasure of the King".

"I do want to take down the Whitebeard Pirates, and I do need your 'help'."

"However, I don't need you to be an inside agent for the Whitebeard Pirates. All I need is..."

"It's just your head!"

According to Storm...

The Blackbeard Pirates were merely "bait" used to lure the Whitebeard Pirates out.

Want to negotiate with him?

Blackbeard Teach is overestimating his own worth!

"Asshole!!"

Blackbeard Teach roared, summoning the members of the Blackbeard Pirates to shield him.

"Let's all charge!"

"Five against one! The advantage is on our side!"

Hearing Blackbeard Teach's command.

The most loyal of them all, Gizzas Jesus Burgess, was the first to charge forward.

Accompanied by loud laughter of "Wei Ha Ha Ha".

Gizzas Jesus Burgess leaped high into the air, almost level with the head of the Blue-Eyes White Dragon, and for the first time, he saw the true appearance of the White Dragon Emperor.

But just as Gizzaz Jesus Burgess was about to launch his attack...

A blurry white shadow, moving as fast as Lightning, suddenly flashed through the air.

The Blue-Eyes White Dragon gently swung its tail, as if wielding a scourge of God.

The pure white dragon tail struck Gizzas Jesus Burgess, who had leaped into the air, with lightning speed and perfect accuracy.

Snap!

It was like popping a balloon.

The Blue-Eyes White Dragon's tail lashed out and shattered Gizzas Jesus Burgess's body.

A cloud of blood mist exploded in mid-air.

Gizzas Jesus Burgess, dead!

First update.

There was still some in the early morning.
