A Pirate with a 100 Million Berry Bounty
"Hmm? That's Blackbeard Pirates's pirate ship? Not bad. But once I wipe them all out, this ship will be mine!"
Jack and his crew arrived at Crescent Moon Island. Upon landing, they immediately noticed the incredibly Haki pirate ship. As a ship king, Jack could naturally discern the quality of a vessel! In his eyes, Blackbeard Pirates's Thunder Gaba was undoubtedly built with top-quality materials and by experienced shipwrights! If they were to sail this Haki pirate ship back, King and Queen would be green with envy!
"No one is allowed to approach this ship! Soon, this ship will be my spoils!" Jack picked up his two Shorter knives, left a few men to guard the ship, and then led a group of henchmen to search for Blackbeard Pirates!
"Huh, what happened?" A resident of Crescent Moon Island was leisurely basking in the sun on a deck chair in front of his shop, sipping tea. But the next second, the sunlight disappeared, replaced by darkness!
He opened his eyes in confusion and looked up. What he saw made him drop his teacup to the ground!
A burly man, as large as a giant, held two strange, gleaming knives and stared at him with icy eyes. The insignia on the man's belt was extremely conspicuous!
"Lord Jack! We're here!" The two pirates who had been guarding the island rushed out in a panic upon seeing Jack.
"Two pieces of trash! Where are Blackbeard Pirates?" Jack looked at the two weaklings in front of him with displeasure, the Shortel knife in his hand appearing even sharper in the sunlight.
"Report, Lord Jack! We've been keeping an eye on Blackbeard Pirates ever since they threw us out! We can confirm that they're all at our base!" Seeing the displeasure on Jack's face, the two pirates hurriedly provided some useful information. As they expected, this statement made Jack's expression soften slightly.
"Hmph! You two will go to the mine and mine for a month as punishment! As for this place, I will take it back and have someone else guard it!" Jack's words relieved the two men, but they couldn't help feeling a little disappointed at losing such a leisurely job.
"Yes!"
Ignoring the others, Jack transformed into his Mammoth Form and strode off quickly towards Blackbeard's group.
"Rando, come on! Let's have another fight!" Burgess said to Rando, who was covered in bruises, as he stretched his muscles.
"Old Ba, I can't take it anymore! Your punches really hurt! My Armament Haki has only just Awakening, it's too much of a disadvantage to fight you!" Rando plopped down on the ground, panting heavily.
Both Burgess and Rando were fanatical warmongers, and staying in the room was too boring for them, so they decided to go to the garden behind the house to have a spar!
Although Rando's bounty is a whopping 500 million, his Haki is pitifully weak! He can take this opportunity to spar with Burgess to hone his Haki!
As for Burgess, he simply couldn't stay still! Sparring with Rando would allow him to experience the thrill of battle and help his companions become stronger—why not?
However, Burgess, who possesses the Kinga Kinga no Mi, is even stronger than in the original story! Relying on his own power and rich combat experience, Rando was beaten up terribly!
"Come on, let's have another match!"
"No!"
Two grown men pulling and tugging at each other in broad daylight—it's truly an eyesore...
"Blackbeard, get out here!" A roar interrupted Burgess and his companion who were playing around. Burgess, who had been grinning just a moment ago, now had a face as dark as the bottom of a pot!
"You've got some nerve!" Burgess said through gritted teeth, then strode towards the door!
Rando quickly got up and followed. When the two arrived at the door, they saw that all the other companions had already arrived. Standing in front of them was a mammoth that looked a bit silly and a bunch of unremarkable henchmen.
"Hahaha! One of the All-Stars of the Beast Pirates! Drought Jack! What brings you to our Whitebeard Pirates' territory?" Teach was happily eating the cherries that Fakyu had bought for him.
"Hmph! This is our Beast Pirates' territory! What do you Whitebeard Pirates mean by this? Coming here to seize our island for no reason, what, do you want to start a war?" Jack looked at the pot-bellied Teach and smiled disdainfully, "I don't know where you get your courage! Is it because of that old man who's about to die, or because of your ugly belly!"
"Um?"
Teach, who was eating Teach, suddenly changed his demeanor. His smiling face now looked like a demon!
"You, repeat what you just said!" Teach looked at Jack in front of him, a murderous intent rising in his heart.
"Hmph, do you think Drought Jack is easily intimidated? If it weren't for my master Kaido's reluctance to intervene, the title of the world's number one pirate crew would have already belonged to our Beast Pirates!" Jack trembled involuntarily, then roared in a fit of rage.
The next second
"You're asking for death!" Teach roared, his figure blurring as he grabbed Jack's two enormous tusks in the next second! Teach's terrifying strength, combined with the Tremor-Tremor Fruit, made it seem like he was going to break Jack's two enormous tusks off alive!
"Who do you think I am? I'm Drought Jack!" Jack roared. In his Mammoth Form, Jack's strength was terrifying. He kicked his right foot back and, with Teach hanging from his tusks, charged violently towards the surrounding houses.
"Damn it! Smash it!" Teach raised his right fist, the fist enveloped by the Tremor-Tremor Fruit's power, and slammed it down on the base of Jack's tusk!
"Well!"
The violent vibration traveled through Jack's teeth to his brain, and for a moment he felt dizzy. He lost his balance and fell to the ground!
"Damn it! I'll show you what arrogance is!" Teach mustered all his strength and punched Jack in the face again and again. Jack's gang of henchmen, seeing the situation was bad, were about to rush to his rescue, but were blocked by Laffitte and his men!
"Why don't we just throw them into the sea to feed the fish?" Fakyu glared at the group of henchmen.
"Dare to insult our captain? I'll smash you into mincemeat today!" Burgess raised his thick arm, his face grim.
"Immortal Fleet - Vibration Elbow Strike!"
Burgess roared, and the armor on his arm slowly vibrated! Then, a powerful elbow strike, combined with that strange energy fluctuation, sent more than half of his enemies to their deaths in a single blow!
"Champion Burgess with a bounty of 1 billion! Impossible!" The Headliner's pupils constricted sharply. In his perception, the power emanating from Burgess's attack was almost identical to that of his own Captain Jack! But how could this be? Burgess's bounty wasn't even in the top three of the Blackbeard Pirates!
On the other side
"I'll teach you to talk trash! I'll teach you to show off to me!" After Teach's relentless efforts, he finally managed to remove Jack's pair of precious ivory tusks intact! Teach stood there, admiring his spoils of war.
Ivory worth 900 million!
Without the ivory, Jack's bounty is now only 100 million...
"Damn Blackbeard, I'll kill you!" As expected of Ancient Zoan Devil Fruit! Jack's regenerative abilities are truly powerful; he was up from the ground in just a few minutes!
"Captain, can I handle this guy?" Burgess's voice came, causing Teach pause slightly.
"Of course! Then he's yours! Shiryu, go back and make me Cherry Pie!" Teach knew Burgess's strength; he and Jack were probably evenly matched!
"Captain! How many times have I told you, my Raiu isn't a kitchen knife!" Shiryu complained. What? You didn't expect that, did you? That bloodthirsty Shiryu can actually cook!
"Hahaha! Don't worry about the details!"
