"Oh? What did you say, sir? This old man didn't quite catch that!" Fujitora froze for a moment, then dug at his ear and spoke to Teach in disbelief.
"Zehahahaha! Then I'll say it again! Join our Whitebeard Pirates! Let's ride the seas together!" Teach's words left everyone stunned!
What? Was it really okay for him to openly recruit an enemy admiral on the battlefield?
"Hehe! This old man has no desire to associate with pirates! Though the Marines have plenty of stains as well, they are far more just than pirates!" Fujitora chuckled. His rejection carried a trace of disdain.
"Justice? Zehahahaha! Are the Marines necessarily just? Are pirates necessarily evil? Isn't that the sort of thing only winners are qualified to say?" Teach did not consider himself a good man. Since coming to this world, blood had already stained his hands red, but that was the only way he could survive! In this dog-eat-dog world, civilians always lived in constant fear. Only great strength, trustworthy companions, and someone powerful to rely on could protect them!
But he could not be called a bad man either! He would not treat innocent lives as entertainment. Sometimes, he would even show mercy and lend a hand to those pitiful people burdened by cruel fates!

Certainly, there were truly vile people
