Two Little Sailors

"We're both from the North Blue. I was the captain of a somewhat famous pirate crew there, with a bounty as high as 36 million Beli!"

"And he was one of my crew members back then!" Shit fell into reminiscence and muttered, "We made a name for ourselves in the North Blue, and later wanted to venture into the Grand Line. But the dangers of the Grand Line exceeded our imagination! We encountered a powerful pirate crew, and after a fierce battle, only the two of us were left..."

Shit's words brought tears to Fuckyou's eyes.

He said with a slight sob, "Our Chosen Pirates once had more than twenty members. We fought together in the North Blue countless times! But this Grand Line... Perhaps it was fate's favor that brought the two of us here by sheer coincidence!"

"Your luck really is pretty good!" Teach said indifferently.

"The Grand Line is indeed very dangerous for you!"

"Yeah, so we settled down here for the time being and made a living by robbing passing merchant ships..." Shit sighed.

"What? One of the North Blue's overlords has actually fallen so low as to become a petty thug? Do you really want to die like this?!" Teach widened his eyes and suddenly shouted.

"Of course I don't!" Shit lost control of his emotions and roared, "But those guys are monsters! With my strength, I couldn't protect my crew!" Shit burst into tears.

"Damn it, Captain! What stupid things are you saying? As pirates, do you think we're afraid of death? We have to live gloriously and fulfill the promises we once made! Only then will we be worthy of our companions, right?" Fuckyou grabbed Shit by the collar and harshly scolded him back to his senses.

"Is that so... Right, I did promise them..." Shit muttered to himself.

Then he suddenly looked toward Teach. "Lord Teach, please help me! I want to follow you! I want to become stronger! Much, much stronger!"

"Lord Teach! Please allow the two of us to become your subordinates!" Fuckyou knelt on the ground and shouted.

"You're really willing to follow me?"

"Yes! X2"

"It'll be very dangerous! Are you sure?"

"We're sure! X2"

"You might die!"

"We're willing! X2"

"Lord Teach, where are we going?" The two followed behind Teach. Teach said nothing, instead answering him through his actions. The three entered a restaurant...

"Boss! Bring me fifty Cherry Pies!" Teach shouted.

"Pfft! Is this guy here to make us laugh? Would any damn fool really like that garbage?" "Shh! Do you have a death wish? Don't you recognize the symbol on that man's back?" "The Whitebeard Pirates... Whitebeard..." The restaurant's chatter instantly fell silent, while Teach slowly walked toward the first man who had spoken.

"Were you the one who just said Cherry Pie was garbage?" Teach stared coldly at the man.

"Spare me, sir! I didn't mean anything by it. I drank too much just now and offended you. I'm truly sorry!" The man was so frightened that he could barely speak, and his eyes were filled with deep fear.

"Gyahahaha! You two, go cut out his tongue!" Teach looked toward Shit and Fuckyou, his tone leaving no room for refusal.

"Yes, Lord Teach!" Shit drew a dagger and slowly walked toward the man. The man rose and tried to struggle, but Shit was still a man with a 36-million-Beli bounty. Dealing with an ordinary underling was effortless.

"Ah!"

The scream reached everyone's ears, and an inexplicable chill settled over their hearts!

"I'm in a good mood today, so I'll spare your life! Get lost! Don't disturb my meal!" Teach said coldly.

In an instant, only Teach and the other two remained in the restaurant.

They haven't paid yet...

The restaurant owner thought silently. But there was nothing he could do. This was an illegal area, and anyone could tell at a glance that the man before him was not someone to provoke.

After Teach and the others finished lunch and bought some nautical supplies, they prepared to leave.

"All right, you two brats!" Teach cleared his throat. "Let's..."

"Boom!"

A cannonball struck beside the pirate ship carrying Teach and his group, sending shattered waves spraying across the deck.

"Pirate ship ahead, listen up! Don't put up any pointless resistance! Surrender immediately!" A Marine warship slowly approached. Fuckyou took a close look and cried out in shock, "O-Onigumo! It's Vice Admiral Onigumo of Marine HQ!"

"Bang!"

A large lump rose on Fuckyou's head. When he turned around, he saw Teach clenching his fist and looking at him calmly. "What's wrong? A single Marine HQ vice admiral has scared you this badly?"

Teach walked to the bow and looked at Onigumo, laughing. "Gyahahaha! It's Vice Admiral Onigumo! I wonder if you could let us leave?"

Onigumo shook his head. "Although I only happened to see your pirate ship while returning from a mission, as a vice admiral of Marine HQ, I have a duty to capture you in the name of the justice in my heart! Besides, why are you here? Marshall D. Teach, vice commander of the Whitebeard Pirates' 2nd Division?"

"Gyahahaha! When did I become so famous? I never expected even the renowned Vice Admiral Onigumo to know me!" Teach said in confusion. In my memory, Blackbeard didn't even have a bounty before becoming one of the Four Emperors in the original story.

"The Scar Pirates were your 2nd Division's work, weren't they? Unfortunately, we had a soldier who disobeyed orders and witnessed the battle between you! That's why we haven't issued a bounty poster for you. But to kill a pirate with a 100-million-Beli bounty in a single strike... Your strength should be comparable to Fire Fist Ace!" Onigumo drew his saber and pointed it at Teach, speaking gravely.

"Gyahahaha! As expected of the Marines! You really are terrifying! But are you truly confident that you can keep me here?" Teach raised his right fist. Seeing the movement, Onigumo felt a familiar sensation, along with a trace of foreboding.

"Crack!"

"T-This is Whitebeard's power!" The cigar fell from Onigumo's mouth as he watched seawater surge around the warship, and fear arose in his heart.

This man is probably as much of a threat to the Marines as Whitebeard! I have to report this to headquarters! Onigumo thought. But for now, I have to survive this disaster!

"Everyone, take heed! The enemy has created a massive tsunami! Everyone, stay safe!" Onigumo shouted.

"Until next time, Vice Admiral Onigumo!"

Teach's laughter reached Onigumo's ears. Gritting his teeth, Onigumo said, "Next time! I'll definitely send you to Impel Down!!!"
