The Tenth Member

"Ah!!!!"

Kneeling on the ground, Momonosuke let out a painful roar. The pain of losing his dignity was unbearable, and before he even realized it, his precious thing had disappeared.

"Tsk tsk tsk!" Teach squatted down, looking at the agonizing Momonosuke. "How can a real man wail and kneel down over such a small thing? It's just an inch of flesh, cut it off and it's gone! Besides, without the desire that inch of flesh brings you, your training will definitely progress by leaps and bounds, and defeating Kaido around the corner!"

Teach, like a pyramid scheme leader, relentlessly brainwashed Momonosuke, and upon hearing that they could defeat Kaido, a glimmer of hope finally appeared on Momonosuke's twitching face! But the next second, he thought of his pitiful little piece of flesh; without it, what could he do even if he defeated Kaido? He was nothing but a cripple now...

Thinking of this, Momonosuke's resentment towards Teach intensified, and he wished he could tear off all of Teach's fur with duct tape! What a wicked thought!

"Hehehehe! But as a man, I know how painful it is to lose that! Don't worry, as your uncle, I certainly won't let you be childless! After you successfully defeat Kaido, I have a way to make your thing grow back!"

As soon as Teach finished speaking, Momonosuke raised his head instantly, his eyes filled with something called hope! That's right, he was, after all, one of my father's crew members, he shouldn't be lying to me, it can definitely grow back there!

"Stand up and show me your guts Kozuki Momonosuke!" Teach suddenly shouted, which startled the ailing Momonosuke!

"Yes!" With his last shred of faith, Momonosuke struggled for a long time before finally managing to stand up! Although his face was still twitching and his legs were trembling violently, he managed to stand up!

"Hahaha! As expected of my nephew! Don't worry, under my training, as long as you survive, your strength will improve rapidly!"

"Understood, Uncle!" Momonosuke didn't even notice the words "as long as you can survive" in Teach's words. He was doing his best to control himself so that he wouldn't scream out in pain from his lower body.

As for Teach? What bad intentions could he possibly have? He just wanted Momonosuke to test Garp's training methods! To leave him alone in a primitive, dangerous forest teeming with wild beasts for a month! If he's not dead yet—no, wait, he'll definitely survive!

After that, he'll smash a mountain with his bare fists to train his Armament Haki, and then he'll have Momonosuke survive his own gunshots to train his Observation Haki! After all that training, he'll face the most terrifying real combat training!

Teach will personally be his opponent! Although Teach is Momonosuke's uncle, he absolutely cannot show mercy for the sake of the child's future, don't you agree?

If you accidentally lose a few arms or legs during special training, that's quite normal!

I think this makes perfect sense, it's worth letting go of!

"Sigh, it's rare to see a kind uncle like me these days!"

"Whoosh! Mr. Blackbeard, take care!" Caesar, leading his crew, stood on the dock, watching Blackbeard depart, and couldn't help but secretly breathe a sigh of relief.

Teach left with Momonosuke, seemingly forgetting about Kin'emon was still inside the laboratory...

"Uncle Teach, where are we going?" Momonosuke has gotten used to the pain now, but of course, his life will still be greatly affected for the time being.

"Hahaha! We're going to find an island suitable for your training, where I will give you devilish training! Remember, if you try to give up halfway, I'll personally twist your head off!" Teach's fierce expression made Momonosuke not doubt his words, but the thought of the miserable life that was about to come made the few seconds of passion in Momonosuke's heart vanish.

Noticing the change in Momonosuke's expression, Teach couldn't help but shake his head secretly.

"As expected, you can't plaster a wall with mud! Fine, fine, considering that Oden was once the Second Division Commander of our Whitebeard Pirates, I, in my mercy, have decided to grant you a painless death!" Teach's mercy had reached its limit. After all, having read the original work, it truly required immense mercy to grant Momonosuke a painless death!

"Uncle Teach, you told me that my final mission is to defeat you! After defeating you, will I be able to defeat Kaido?"

"Hahaha! Poor boy! Your dear uncle is very strong! Even Kaido wouldn't dare to fight me! Because in front of me, Kaido can only get beaten up!"

Teach's words shocked Momonosuke immensely; he never imagined his uncle, whom he considered a stranger, was so strong! But the next second, the thought that crossed his mind wasn't about targeting Teach or figuring out how to defeat him! Instead, it was about how to persuade Teach to join his side, help him defeat Kaido, reclaim Wano, and become the Shogun of Wano!

Actually, it's not surprising that all One Piece fans want to Momonosuke. Such an incompetent, weak, and lecherous brat—his sister is probably more suitable to be the Shogun of Wano!

"Hmm? Why is there a person floating on the sea?" T's eyesight was extraordinary. He keenly noticed a black figure floating on the sea. The figure was thin and looked no different from a dead person!

Inexplicably, Teach felt an urge to rescue the man and bring him aboard the ship. This was the first time he had ever felt such a calling, and the feeling was extremely strange!

"Uncle Teach, is that... is that a corpse?" Momonosuke trembled and hid behind Teach, he didn't have the courage to look at the so-called corpse!

"Get out of here, I'm going to get her out of here first!" Teach stretched out his left hand, activating the power of the Dark-Dark Fruit. The powerful suction pulled the person drifting in the sea, and the next second, to Momonosuke's astonishment, the person suddenly flew up and was sucked into Teach's hand!

"This is..."

Momonosuke's mouth dropped open, but Teach ignored him.

At this moment, Teach was staring intently at the person whose aura was extremely weak. This person had exquisite features and a graceful figure. To his surprise, it was actually a woman!

"He's actually a Devil Fruit User?"

Teach stared at the woman, lost in thought...
