Bang bang bang!
One after another, dark shadows burst forth from the water.
The coating covering the ship's hull was pierced at the same time.
Pirate flags, each representing a member of the pirates, fluttered in the wind.
Looking at this group of uninvited guests who had suddenly appeared.
Everyone's expression changed drastically at once.
This is Shichibukai.
World Affiliated Nation Conference was convened to discuss the main target of the impeachment.
It suddenly appeared at this critical juncture.
Isn't this a case of misfortunes never coming singly?
Most importantly, the person who caused the Seven Warlords of the Sea system to be dismissed was none other than the Marine Fourth Admiral, War Demon Bai Yu.
Faced with this grudge, those present believed that the Shichibukai would probably not let it go so easily.
Perhaps it is for this reason that the Five Elders forcibly summoned the Shichibukai here, coinciding with the World Affiliated Nation Conference.
Everything was done to exploit the hatred of the Shichibukai to target Bai Yu.
However, with the appearance of ships, their sheer number gradually became perplexing.
It's common knowledge that there should only be six Shichibukai), so the arrival of seven pirate ships seems somewhat inconsistent with their understanding.
"Heh, kid, didn't expect that at a time like this, all Shichibukai would be summoned by the World Government."
Nusjuro sneered.
Sometimes, when faced with absolute self-interest, so-called friendship and loyalty will completely take a backseat.
"You are indeed very strong, but if you were to face all seven Shichibukai at the same time, you would probably find it troublesome."
"Of course, in your understanding, there should only be six Shichibukai, so please allow me to introduce the seventh one, who is also an old acquaintance of yours."
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone's eyes fell on the Nusjuro.
In their understanding, the only active members of the Shichibukai are Empress Hancock, Tyrant Kuma, Knight of the Sea Jinbe, Dorry the Blue Ogre, Brogy the Red Ogre, Dracule Mihawk, and Gecko Moria.
At this critical juncture, the emergence of a seventh person, and the identity of that person, has undoubtedly become the most intriguing aspect for everyone.
"It must be Blackbeard. Only that ingrate would take advantage of such a loophole!"
Bai Yu smiled bloodthirstyly, his gaze already fixed on the last pirate ship to appear.
" Teach?"
Jinbe's expression changed instantly. He had been on the Moby Dick when Ace spoke to Bai Yu that day, and knew a little about Blackbeard's situation.
Does Teach's sudden appearance here mean he has successfully obtained the Dark-Dark Fruit?
"Haha, as expected of the Marine Fourth Admiral, War Demon Bai Yu, you were able to guess this better than me. No wonder Pops listened to you so much and made Thatch give me the Dark-Dark Fruit."
A loud, boisterous laugh echoed from the seventh pirate ship, and soon Blackbeard emerged, still laughing.
He is completely different now compared to when he was on the Moby Dick.
Not only did he wear gold and silver, but his clothing also lost its former understated style, giving off an air of nouveau riche.
At the same time, a massive Dark Tide of power spread throughout his body.
It not only devoured everything around it, but it even seemed to devour the light.
" Teach, you wouldn't really disobey Pops and kill Thatch, would you?" Jinbe's expression changed drastically, and he asked urgently.
Originally, when Bai Yu repeatedly reminded them to be careful of Blackbeard, Jinbe, like Whitebeard and the others, didn't pay any attention.
In their eyes, Blackbeard was an obedient old crew member who stayed on the ship day in and day out for decades, and had never shown any ambition.
But precisely for this reason, the more tolerant a person is, the more terrifying they will be when they finally explode.
That's the kind of feeling you get from Teach right now.
"Haha, Jinbe, I didn't expect you to be here too. That guy Thatch actually dared to lecture me on behalf of my Pops. Of course I killed him. Otherwise, how could he become Shichibukai and attend this grand event?"
Teach burst into unrestrained laughter.
The expressions on the faces of those present changed drastically.
At this moment, they finally understood why Blackbeard was able to become Shichibukai at this critical juncture.
He climbed to the top by stepping on his own colleagues.
" Teach, I'm going to kill you!"
Jinbe's face darkened, and he roared in anger.
Throughout history, the Whitebeard Pirates have provided protection to Fish-Man Island at the most crucial moments.
Jinbe had long since remembered this kindness.
Right now, Teach betrayed the Whitebeard Pirates not only for a Devil Fruit, but also for the sake of becoming Shichibukai, and he's trying to kill Thatch.
This undoubtedly crossed the line for the Whitebeard Pirates, and even for Jinbe.
" Knight of the Sea Jinbe, shut up! Don't forget why you were summoned here this time."
Nusjuro snorted coldly and spoke first.
"I don't care what grudges you have. I don't care how you deal with it after we've rounded up that brat."
"Now, I'm telling you clearly, if you kill this brat here today, your title as Shichibukai will be permanently retained, and you will enjoy those privileges for life."
What!
Cobra and King Riku's expressions immediately turned extremely ugly.
This time, they came to attend the World Federation of Affiliated Nation meeting solely because the Five Elders and the World Government agreed to hold a meeting to remove the Shichibukai.
However, now Nusjuro tells them that as long as the Shichibukai participate in the battle, they can kill Bai Yu.
The title and privileges of the Shichibukai can be preserved forever.
So what are they doing here?
Is it shameful?
"Haha, Jinbe, did you hear that? If you don't want to lose your Shichibukai, you'd better obey the Five Elders ' orders and cooperate with me to deal with this arrogant fool."
Teach burst into unrestrained laughter.
" Fourth Admiral, War Demon Bai Yu, you probably didn't expect we'd meet in this kind of situation, did you? I remember everything you did to me that day."
"I thought the Dark-Dark Fruit had fallen into your hands, but I never imagined that fate was just playing a joke on me. It turns out I am the chosen one."
"Next, I'll show you what true invincibility looks like. Have you ever thought about how you could escape from the combined forces of the seven Shichibukai, and the Five Elders?"
As he spoke, a large cloud of black mist once again surged from Teach's body. This defiant act was extremely satisfying to him.
However, no sooner had these words been spoken than a sudden, unexpected voice rang out.
"Sorry, we will not Admiral Bai Yu. We don't want this Shichibukai."
