Cameo struggled frantically, his eyes filled with panic and fear.
That gun-wielding bastard from the Goa Empire actually set his sights on his Copy-Copy Fruit ability.
Impel Down has so many prisoners with special abilities, why choose him?
He could also join the ranks of Wang Shi, just like Teach.
"His Majesty..."
"Cameo is a pirate with a bounty of 300 million Belly, and is qualified to become His Majesty's subordinate."
Blackbeard Teach looked at Wang Shi, wanting to see Wang Shi's attitude.
Now that Cameo has surrendered, perhaps Wang Shi will let him off the hook.
Blackbeard has no desire to personally kill his own 'comrade'.
"I'm sorry to have troubled you, Teach."
Wang Shi spoke calmly, directly sentencing Cameo to death.
In any case, Doc Q's Sick-Sick Fruit ability could potentially be stripped of to Kaya.
Since we'll take down Doc Q later, we might as well take down Cameo first.
Wang Shi did indeed have a slight intention of giving the More-More Fruit to Van Augur.
However, after careful consideration, Wang Shi abandoned the idea.
After all, they haven't completely controlled Teach yet.
Given Teach's insane gambling nature, this guy might actually eat the More-More Fruit to increase his strength, and he might even gamble away the fact that the Wang Shi Gamblers wouldn't kill him, the tool who stripped him of his Devil Fruit powers.
They might even fabricate lies about failing to deprive the Wang Shi to deceive him.
After all, with the More-More Fruit, Teach's chances of escaping would be much higher.
The More-More Fruit's ability to increase speed by 50 times is a decent escape skill.
Therefore, before controlling Teach, it's best to keep the More-More Fruit ability hidden to prevent Teach from taking the risk and coveting it.

"No! Your Majesty! I surrender! I'm willing to be Your Majesty's dog!"
"Teach, you can't do this to me..."
Cameo roared in terror, and the poison in his body made his face look like a demon.
Go ahead.
Wang Shi spoke coldly, and the vampire bat flew towards Cameo at lightning speed, disregarding Cameo's poisonous state, and drained him dry.
This terrified Doc Q so much that he felt his death star pounding wildly.
The appearance of vampire bats Wang Shi has already explained everything.
Blackbeard Teach looked grim and could only walk step by step toward Cameo.
Unfortunately Cameo's Copy-Copy Fruit ability was of no use in his escape.
"Captain..."
The Cameo was too weak to speak, staring in fear at Blackbeard Teach.
"I'm sorry, Cameo..."
Blackbeard Teach, expressionless, overwhelmed the half-dead Cameo with dark matter.
"I'll be quick; it won't hurt you."
"Take a deep breath. Feeling a little dizzy is inevitable. Get some rest."
Teach held Cameo's head in his arms, as if gently embracing his partner.
The next second, Blackbeard Teach twisted his hands forcefully, instantly killing Cameo.
Before long, the indifferent-looking Blackbeard Teach handed a Devil Fruit to Wang Shi.
Seeing Blackbeard Teach's ruthlessness, he swiftly killed his own men.
Crocodile and the Demon Sheriff Laffitte, these clever people, both revealed meaningful smiles.
Doc Q and the other ability-wielding prisoners were trembling with fear.
It was as if the Grim Reaper's scythe could fall on their necks at any moment.
Van Augur readily took the Copy-Copy Fruit ability from Blackbeard Teach, swallowed it in a few bites, and quickly familiarized himself with the Devil Fruit's power.
He was in a hurry to copy Absalom's invisibility ability, and even Imperial Concubine Baby 5's Weapon-Weapon Fruit ability, Kuma's Paw-Paw Fruit ability, Magellan's Venom-Venom Fruit ability...
I also need to find time to copy the Door-Door Fruit ability of that CP9 agent and the Bomb-Bomb Fruit ability of the Baroque Works...
When Van Augur set his sights on the Copy-Copy Fruit's power, he already had a plethora of ideas forming in his mind.
Survival techniques, increased firepower, poison bullets, explosive bullets...
He wanted to try them all.
"Teach, you are a talented person. You have inherited the will of Rocks. You are ambitious, courageous, and know how to be patient."
I really want to take you with me to take down the World Government, and defeat Imu and the Five Elders.
Wang Shi looked at Blackbeard Teach, who was panting heavily and swallowing the deadly poison himself, and sighed.
When Teach heard Wang Shi say that, his eye twitched.
Why do I say that?
Is this a case of discarding a useful tool after it has served its purpose, or kicking someone away after they've used it?
He stripped two Devil Fruit powers just as he had been 'loyal and devoted' to the Wang Shi.
He even personally killed one of his subordinates.
One shouldn't be too much Wang Shi!
"Your Majesty, I am truly willing to follow you!"
Blackbeard Teach quickly pledged his loyalty, his mind racing with anxiety.
At that moment, he was truly afraid that Wang Shi would suddenly kill him.
The rate at which the toxins were absorbed accelerated again.
"As the son of Rocks, the New World's overlord, are you truly willing to submit to someone else?"
Wang Shi looked at Blackbeard Teach with a meaningful expression.
"I really do!"
"Your Majesty is the blazing sun in my life."
"Following His Majesty, I have no regrets."
Blackbeard Teach spoke without hesitation, though his unease grew.
"Then strip them of their Devil Fruit abilities!"
Wang Shi casually pointed his finger at [Death] Doc Q and [Crescent Moon Hunter] Katrin Deppon.
"No, Your Majesty, I sincerely wish to join your ranks!"
Catherine Deppon, who was suddenly called out, screamed wildly, her face filled with terror.
Doc Q also felt utterly Despair.
It seems that fate has abandoned him this time.
Those who weren't named, like the Avalo Pizarro and the Barrel, breathed a sigh of relief.
They seemed to have escaped a terrible fate.
"Captain..."
Doc Q looked at Blackbeard Teach in Despair. He had chosen Blackbeard as his captain, but he never expected to die at Blackbeard's hands.
Oh, fate!
The vampire bats struck again, draining the life out of the frantically struggling Katrin Deppon and the resigned Doc Q, not even sparing the Stronger.
The aura of the vampire bat grew increasingly powerful.
Blackbeard Teach gritted his teeth inwardly, forced into a corner by the Wang Shi's 'test of trust'.
They had no choice but to take drastic measures again and kill their own ship's doctor as well.
As for the unfamiliar prisoner, Katrin Depon, killing her felt completely effortless.
Before long, Blackbeard Teach had two Devil Fruits in his hands, which he handed to Laffitte.
Paramecia: Sick-Sick Fruit; Mythical Zoan: Nine-Tailed Fox Form.
These are the Devil Fruit that the Wang Shi prepared for Kaya and Empress Sally.
If Kaya doesn't like the Sick-Sick Fruit's power, then she should continue searching for a more suitable ability.
As for Doc Q, that prematurely aged old man, let him die in vain.
"Your Majesty, my loyalty to you is as clear as day."
"I am willing to lead the charge for Your Majesty, I am willing to kill Whitebeard Newgate for Your Majesty, seize all his territory, and present the New World to Your Majesty."
Blackbeard Teach, who had already sacrificed two crew members, immediately pledged his loyalty to Wang Shi, but deep down he still yearned for Whitebeard's Tremor-Tremor Fruit power.
He also wanted to find an opportunity to steal the Tremor-Tremor Fruit's power.
Never give up hope.
Perhaps he can take advantage of the Goa Empire's influence.
The fact that Wang Shi dared to Impel Down shows that Wang Shi and the World Government are fundamentally not on the same side.
Wang Shi with such ambition would certainly not miss the great war at Marineford.
