A Title Similar to Chapter 3, but More Awesome

"What a pitiful plight!" Teach listened intently to Domi's story. Domi looked up and silently gazed at the face of this pirate, who was considered extremely cruel and evil by the world.

"But you're so naive! The Navy is backed by the World Government, which is controlled by the Celestial Dragons. Do you think they would punish the Celestial Dragons for some insignificant people? All justice in this world has a prerequisite: the absence of the Celestial Dragons! So, how about it? You, a Navy veteran with a tragic past, join my Blackbeard Pirates and work with us to bring the Celestial Dragons down from their thrones?"

Faced with Teach's invitation again, Domi did not hesitate this time. She hated the Celestial Dragons to the extreme. This time, she abandoned her sense of justice and only wanted to seek justice for the civilians who died tragically at the hands of the Celestial Dragons!

"Hehehehe! Welcome to the 10th member of our Blackbeard Pirates! My dear Miss Domi!"

Teach stood up, arms outstretched, and laughed heartily! The next second, he felt a warm sensation coming from his belly...

Teach:...

Domi:...

Momonosuke:|ʘᗝʘ|

"Um, Domi, you might have misunderstood me! I really just want you to be our companion, and I don't have any plans to date right now..." Teach said, while thinking to himself: Seriously, what's the point of dating? Just bickering with Ace and drinking with Thatch, isn't that great? (Don't ask! The author is single!)

Domi's face instantly turned cherry red, and combined with her hairstyle, she really looked like a ripe cherry! Her shy expression was absolutely delightful!

Teach: Hold on, Domi isn't a cherry, you can't make Cherry Pie!

One of them ran back to the cabin, while the other took the helm again, leaving Momonosuke standing there, lost in thought.

"Uncle Teach, you don't have some unspeakable secret, do you...?"

If Teach knew, I believe Momonosuke's childhood would be more complete...

Thousand Trees Island

As its name suggests, this island is covered in trees. The entire island seems unchanged over time, and everything on it is very primitive. There are even many prehistoric creatures in the forest!

"Uncle Teach, I'll die if I go into this forest for training!" Momonosuke was so scared that snot was running down his face. He clung tightly to Teach's leg and refused to let go.

"You have to believe in yourself. You are Kozuki Oden's son! This island isn't as dangerous as you think! At most, there are some ferocious carnivores in the forest! Besides, you've already paid such a high price. If you still can't become stronger and defeat Kaido, then you've really lost out!"

"But Uncle..."

"How can a grown man be so hesitant! Come on, Uncle will take you inside!" Teach grabbed Momonosuke and flew to the center of the jungle using Geppo!

"Go in, my dear nephew! Your uncle is waiting for you at the edge of the island. You can come out in seven days!" Teach said, and without Momonosuke's cries and screams, he threw Momonosuke into the forest!

Teach firmly believed that, given the physical capabilities of humans in the world of King of the Pirates, a mere 70- Domi wouldn't be enough to kill someone from a fall!

"Ah~ I'm exhausted after drifting at sea for so many days! Alright, let's go back and rest! Momonosuke, you better come out alive! Hehehehe!"

Teach returned to their makeshift base on the island, saying he wanted to rest, but he couldn't help calling Domi out after returning to the base.

"Hey, Teach! What can I do for you?" Domi was clearly not used to changing how he addressed Teach.

"Hahaha! Don't be so reserved!" Teach waved his hand, then said with great confidence, "Domi, you're Devil Fruit user, right?"

Domi's eyes widened in disbelief. "How did you know? I don't think I said that!"

"My Dark-Dark Fruit allows me to sense the aura of Devil Fruit within people! When I pulled you ashore, the aura within you gave me a very familiar feeling!" Teach looked at Domi, hoping for an answer from him.

"Yes, my little boat encountered a storm, and the waves smashed it to pieces. In my haste, I could only cling to a plank! The storm lasted for several days, and after the weather cleared up, having not eaten for days, I found a strange fruit. Strangely, the fruit was in a wooden box, drifting on the sea. When I opened it, I discovered it was a Devil Fruit! But at that time, I didn't have time to think too much. I naively thought that eating the Devil Fruit would restore some of my strength, but I underestimated the side effects!"

"Is this what they call luck? Getting Devil Fruit while adrift at sea?" Teach was speechless; such incredible luck was truly enviable.

"So what kind of Devil Fruit did you eat?"

"Paramecia Shadow-Shadow Fruit!"

"Hmm? Moria's Shadow-Shadow Fruit?" Teach pondered for a moment, then, based on his past memories, devised a rigorous training plan for Domi! He was determined to mold her into a powerhouse far surpassing Moria!

On the other side

Kaido acquired enough Beli and, after a long journey, arrived at the Whitebeard Pirates' headquarters!

"Roar! Whitebeard, come out!" Kaido, who resembled Azure Dragon, roared with great majesty.

"It's Beast Kaido! Does this bastard want to start a war with the Whitebeard Pirates?" "Quickly, inform Pops and the captains!" "With Pops here, we'll definitely pluck his dragon horns and soak them in sake today!"...

After a commotion, Whitebeard and his crew of captains appeared before Kaido.

"Gurararara! You've come to the Whitebeard Pirates' headquarters all alone, what's wrong, Kaido? You want to start a war? Perfect timing, I'm itching for a fight! To avoid outsiders saying that I, Whitebeard, am bullying you with my superior numbers, I'll fight you today!" Whitebeard said with extreme Haki, holding his Naginata.

"Hey! I'm here because that guy on your ship named Blackbeard told me he could ransom Jack for 1.5 billion Beli! You Whitebeard Pirates wouldn't go back on your word, would you?" Kaido swallowed hard as he looked at the extremely imposing Whitebeard.

"Oh? Is that so?" Whitebeard looked at his sons, and Thatch nodded to Whitebeard, saying, "Teach did mention it to me a few days ago!"

"Alright, it's true! Don't worry, the Whitebeard Pirates will always keep their word! Jozu, go and bring Jack here!" Whitebeard looked at the enormous Jozu; perhaps only he was truly suited for this task!

"Okay, Pops!" Jozu turned and left, bringing Jack up with him. The two exchanged money for the man.

"Mr. Kaido, I'm sorry I failed! But I've used up a lot of the Whitebeard Pirates' resources these past few days!"

"Alright, if you want to catch up, go back to your own territory! Don't pollute the air here!"

After the transaction was completed, Kaido grabbed Jack with his dragon claws and left without looking back!

Looking at his subordinates, who had become as round as balls and weighed twice Kaido fell into deep thought...
