BOOM!
A bar exploded into a pile of rubble. Several people could vaguely be seen lying amid the wreckage. A burly middle-aged man with several missing teeth, a rough appearance, thick body hair, and a massive build walked out with a group of people.
"Lafitte is dead?" a big man beside him asked in disbelief.
Blackbeard, at the head of the group, looked utterly grim. Ever since leaving Mogu Town, nothing had gone his way. The group of pirates he had planned to capture to make a name for himself had actually fled into the sky.
