"Bang!"
A wisp of blue smoke drifted from the beloved gun Cherry Pie in Van Augur's hand, and a seabird plummeted rapidly from high in the sky.
"(⊙o⊙) Wow! Old Van, you're amazing with a gun!" Fuckyou stood beside Van Augur with a bottle of wine in his hand, speaking with an excited expression.
Hearing his companion's praise, Van Augur proudly took out a handkerchief and gently wiped his beloved gun. "That's nothing! With my strength, I could easily blow the head off prey even at an altitude of ten thousand meters!"
Van Augur had originally been the relatively quiet type, but under Fuckyou's relentless efforts—(dead) (persistent) (shameless) (effort)—the aloof sniper had finally become a chatterbox.
"Fuckyou! Can you stop giving everyone nicknames? Learn from Burgess! He trains so much that he practically wishes there were twenty-five hours in a day!" Shit stood to the side and spoke in exasperation.
In fact, Fuckyou's strength had improved greatly. His talent was quite good, and his current strength was probably already comparable to that of a pirate with a bounty of over one hundred million! At Teach's urging, Fuckyou had not eaten a Devil Fruit. At present, he was working hard to improve his physical skills. After all, if everyone on the ship were Devil Fruit users, a single tsunami might wipe them all out!
"Huh? You mean that old Burgess guy? He's purely a training fanatic! If I became like him, I'd lose all the fun of being a pirate!"
Hearing Fuckyou's words, the corner of Teach's mouth twitched violently. Good grief, was he a gourmet or something?
The Blackbeard Pirates had stayed at the Marines' G-3 Branch for two days. Finally, after Teach had eaten 140 Cherry Pies in a row, a huge warship slowly sailed toward the G-3 Branch.
"Hm?" Teach was wolfing down Cherry Pie when his gaze suddenly sharpened. Under the enhancement of his terrifying Observation Haki, a powerful aura was slowly approaching them.
"An admiral?" Teach calmly swallowed the Cherry Pie in his mouth, wiped his lips with his large hand, and rose to welcome the distinguished guest who had come from afar.
"Captain Teach!" "Captain!" ...
Laffitte and the others had already assembled on deck. They stared wide-eyed at the man in a yellow suit standing aboard the warship, his face bearing a lecherous expression.
"Ze-ha-ha-ha! Admiral Kizaru? What an extraordinary fellow has come!" Teach took out the rum at his waist and downed it in one gulp as if rinsing his mouth, his eyes fixed firmly on Kizaru.
Kizaru stood at the bow of the warship, trimming his precious fingernails with a nail clipper. Although his expression was calm, he still brought an immense sense of oppression to the others.
"Wahahaha! So this is one of the strongest forces in Marine HQ? I really want to fight him!" Burgess's eyes flashed with intense battle intent. In his view, challenging powerful enemies was the best way to improve one's strength!
"Big brother, that guy is so lecherous!" Fuckyou looked at Kizaru in the distance with disgust. If he had been facing Kizaru alone, he certainly would not have dared say something like that! But the entire Blackbeard Pirates were here, and their captain was beside him. What was there to fear?
In the eyes of everyone in the Blackbeard Pirates, their captain's strength was unfathomable! Wherever he was, they were safe!
"Hey, hey! You can't say things like that carelessly outside! Kizaru ate the Pika Pika no Mi and became a man of light! His speed is unbelievably fast! If he sets his sights on you, even ten lives wouldn't be enough!" Having spent so long in the Sabaody Archipelago, Shit naturally knew far more than ordinary people. He understood deeply that the strength of a Marine admiral was far more terrifying than they imagined.
"Oh? You're Blackbeard, aren't you? How scary!" A lecherous voice suddenly rang out behind everyone. They were startled and turned around in unison, only to see a lecherous face.
"Ze-ha-ha-ha! Marine HQ Admiral, Kizaru Borsalino! I've heard so much about you!" Teach sized up the man before him curiously. He truly lived up to his reputation as the most lecherous man in the entire anime. That foul face made Teach want to give him a thorough beating!
"Oh, then I'm truly honored!" Kizaru looked at Blackbeard, and his tone suddenly changed.
"However, Marshal Sengoku is very angry about you, a Shichibukai, kidnapping a vice admiral of Marine HQ. Also, let me ask you something! Have you ever been kicked by light?"
As soon as he finished speaking, a sense of crisis appeared in Teach's heart. He instinctively raised his arm to block. After a tremendous explosion, Teach was sent flying!
"Hmph, you're quite rude!" Teach snorted coldly. He exerted force with his waist, spun once in midair, and landed steadily.
"Hm?" This time, Kizaru was the one who was surprised. He naturally understood how much force he had put into that kick. In his view, Teach, with a bounty of 1.3 billion, should at least have ended up battered and suffered a minor injury. That had also been Sengoku's intention. After Teach had done something like this, he naturally had to teach him a lesson. Otherwise, where would that leave the Marines' reputation?
"As the saying goes, courtesy demands reciprocity! Kizaru, you take a punch from me too!" A trace of anger also arose in Teach's heart. Black energy wrapped around his entire right hand. The next moment, Teach appeared in front of Kizaru as if he had teleported!
Kizaru's pupils suddenly contracted. Teach's speed far exceeded his expectations!
But Kizaru was, after all, an admiral of Marine HQ! With his rich combat experience, he instantly elementalized his body, intending to dodge Teach's attack with an air of complete confidence!
"Bang!"
Teach's fist slammed into Kizaru's abdomen! The tremendous force made Kizaru's eyes bulge instantly. His protruding eyeballs nearly shattered the lenses of his glasses!
"Ugh!"
A trace of blood flowed from the corner of Kizaru's mouth. His entire body hung suspended in the air. No other expression could be seen on his lecherous old face, but his heart was already in turmoil!
"Oh, how scary!" Kizaru instinctively blurted out his catchphrase. To ease the awkward atmosphere, he used his ultimate move!
The Great Art of Changing the Subject!
"Blackbeard, why don't we discuss the matter of the hostage first?"
"Ze-ha-ha-ha, of course!"
After discussing the matter for a while, both sides decided on an exchange: one person for one person!
Thus, the Blackbeard Pirates left the Marines' G-3 Branch carrying countless supplies and treasures, along with the criminals they had wanted...
"What a terrifying man!" Kizaru stood where he was, seemingly lost in thought. "It seems I'll still have to mention this to Marshal Sengoku. Wait, it's already six o'clock! I'm off work! I'll talk about this trivial matter tomorrow!"
Under the astonished gazes of the assembled Marines, their beloved Admiral Kizaru vanished in an instant!
Elsewhere
"Ze-ha-ha-ha! Men, let's welcome our new companion!" Teach raised his wine cup and shouted.
"Oh!"
Laffitte and the others cheered as they looked at the man sitting on the ground, his entire body radiating murderous intent.
"Welcome to the Blackbeard Pirates! Shiryu of the Rain!"
