Zhutian: Countless me, join the chat group

Seeing the arrogant Blackbeard, the Five Elders suddenly felt like laughing.

It just feels ridiculous.

For someone like Blackbeard to start bringing up these things now is quite unusual.

But this guy seems to have forgotten just how humble he was when facing them before!

so
Does this mean you think you're all grown up now?!

Seeing Blackbeard's state, the Five Elders had a thought, and Saint Satan said calmly, "Indeed, that guy was right about one thing!"

Although Satan Saint did not say it explicitly, judging from the current situation...

Whether it's to use this incident to attack Blackbeard or not.

Or perhaps there is some truth to this whole thing.

In short, in their view, Bai Ye might indeed be right about this matter.

With Blackbeard's personality, what exactly is he being so arrogant about?!
Do you really think that just because you've gathered a few people together, you have the resources to rival the World Government?!

Bai Ye was right; this guy really can't compare to Lox.

At least for now, it's completely impossible to tell what this guy inherited from Lox.

They had come into contact with Rocks back then, but who was Rocks?!

Although they were the losers, at least they were willing to give Rocks a good evaluation.

Indeed, over the years, Rocks has been a formidable and powerful figure, worthy of their remembrance.

But Blackbeard is different.

Judging from all his current actions, this guy doesn't have the slightest bit of the aura of a tyrant, and it's completely impossible to tell what he inherited from Lox.

Is this fake?!

Bai Ye made a mistake?!

This absurd idea.
Although there are some parts that I don't understand, I feel that there's nothing wrong with this idea.

Is this really fake?!

Seeing the scrutinizing look on the Five Elders' faces, Blackbeard grinned, "Hahahaha, is my past really that much of a concern now!?"

Even though Blackbeard is very unhappy inside.

He admitted that, given his current situation, he was indeed somewhat unworthy of the title of son of Rocks.

But how could Blackbeard possibly accept it when it was brought up by others?!

In Blackbeard's view, so what if he wasn't good enough for her?!

Am I not one of them?!

He longed to possess the power of Rocks, but such power wasn't something he could simply acquire at will.

It is precisely because his father is Rocks that Blackbeard feels he must understand himself.

Blackbeard was well aware of this, precisely because he knew just how powerful his father was.

When he was a child, after realizing that his talent was not as great as Rocks', he had other ideas and knew what would happen if he continued to do things this way.

I know for sure that I could never reach the level my father achieved.

Even if Rocks failed back then, it would be even more difficult for someone like me, who has no strength, to reach that level.

So he toned down his sharp edges and chose a different path.

Since even Rocks, with his immense strength, couldn't succeed, why not try a different approach? Maybe I can succeed!

Of course, the premise is still this matter, namely the Dark-Dark Fruit. Without this fruit, I will not take any action.

Only by obtaining the fruit can we continue with the plan, although it is somewhat a replica of Rocks' plan.

But at least there's a plan for this.

So, Blackbeard is actually following the same path as Rocks, but he would give up if he didn't have the chance.

Blackbeard originally didn't really want to reveal his identity.

However, to his surprise, this was something he hadn't anticipated, and it was Bai Ye who exposed it.

Now that his identity has been exposed, Blackbeard has nothing more to say but to adapt to the situation and make changes accordingly.

Seeing Blackbeard's expression, the others exchanged glances and then slowly said, "So you still dare to come here?! Rocks died at our hands back then."

If that's the case, do you think cooperation is still possible on this basis?

Although everyone here is a seasoned fox, they all know that saying this is just a way to see how the other person will react.

However, the Five Elders didn't say anything directly at this time, wanting to see how Blackbeard would react.

"Hahaha, when there's mutual benefit, it seems like there's no problem with everyone cooperating, right?!"

Although there are some problems with what I'm doing.

But Blackbeard felt that he wasn't wrong. Given that both sides had their own interests, there was absolutely no problem with the two of them cooperating.

At least for now, there's nothing about Blackbeard.

"I see~ So what about your preparations?! Or rather, what about your value?!"

Both sides have maintained a basic level of understanding here, and everyone knows that it's impossible for them to completely break off relations at this time.

If things fall apart at this point, neither side can continue pretending.

At this time, the World Government did indeed need Blackbeard's fighting force.

Especially after it was revealed that Blackbeard was Rocks' son.

Then there's Blackbeard, who also needs some benefits from the World Government at this point.

Therefore, there is a significant interest involved between the two parties, and in this matter, they must both take advantage of each other.

"I think my current title is quite valuable, isn't it?!"

Blackbeard grinned and said slowly.

Blackbeard was well aware of this situation. Initially, he felt it might not be a good thing for him. But then he realized that Bai Ye's exposure of the matter confirmed his identity.

If that's the case, then we might as well make use of this identity.

After learning about this, Blackbeard felt that this was his greatest value at the moment, which was at least much better than the pirates he had recruited.

After all, although these pirates had been recruited by him, Blackbeard knew all too well what the situation was like inside!

Of all these pirates here, how many are willing to listen to me?!
There probably aren't many left.

So, from this perspective, since they already know that the other party is highly likely to be looking at them...

Blackbeard was well aware of what would happen if he lost his usefulness.

Therefore, from this perspective, it is absolutely impossible for me to lose my usefulness.

They even had to improve their own strength in order to suppress the other party.

Since it requires him to suppress them, aside from some weaker pirates and his original crew, Blackbeard couldn't imagine anyone else having much faith in him.

So it seems Blackbeard was using them anyway, isn't that just how the world is?!
They take advantage of us, and we take advantage of them.

This is all normal.

The most pathetic people are those who have no value to others.

What else can you call someone if the other party isn't willing to use you?

So, in Blackbeard's view, this was actually a very good thing for him.

Since everyone knows these subordinates are unreliable, don't the Five Elders know that too?!
They certainly knew about this, but they just hadn't planned to say it before.

Right now, Blackbeard just blurted it out.

In his opinion, his own identity was definitely the best option at the moment!
"so what?!"

The Five Elders remained calm, saying nothing, offering no opinion, or offering any other explanation. They simply looked at Blackbeard and continued to ask questions.

They were quite curious to know what Blackbeard was going to say next.

Now that we've brought this up, what does Blackbeard mean by this next?!
Seeing the Five Elders' reaction, Blackbeard continued, "I can recruit more pirates, as long as you release all the information about Rocks."

Let people of this era know that Rocks was once a member of his pirate crew, even people like Byakuya and Whitebeard, and that Roger was almost killed as a result.

Once I have this reputation, I can use it to recruit pirates. I will accept any pirate who is willing to come to me.

This is definitely a considerable force, and besides, don't pirates need an organization right now?!

Blackbeard stated his purpose directly.

In his opinion, if things had developed this way earlier, he wouldn't have needed to worry so much!
What was I even worried about back then?!
Even Blackbeard was somewhat bewildered.

What I worried about back then has now become an advantage.

It's not just about advantages; what was I thinking back then? How could I pass up such a great opportunity?!
That's right!

Blackbeard sees this as a good thing, especially since he's the one who's been keeping it!
This is a very good title. If I use it well, I can use it to recruit a lot of people to join me.

Looking back now, all the effort I put into recruiting seems like the work of a complete clown.

After all, if they had known back then that simply mentioning Rocks' name would attract countless pirates to join their ranks, they would have been in a different situation.

What was the point of all that effort, all those things I did, all that recruitment?!

Just bring this out directly!

of course
Blackbeard had some concerns before, after all, he thought, "Why should I believe it?"

If a small-time pirate like myself were to say such things, no one else would actually believe me.

Everyone guessed that they might just be trying to use Lox's name to do something.

After all, it seems quite convenient this way. If someone can use another person's son's name to come here, then anyone else could do it too!
Today, dozens of Rocks' sons appeared, the day after tomorrow, dozens of Roger's children will appear, and even a few of White Night's children will appear!
Looking at it this way, Blackbeard knew perfectly well that no one would believe what he said.

But I was thinking that no one would believe me even though I put so much effort into this. But now it seems that it has nothing to do with me anymore!

This time, Bai Ye told him about it. Surely no one else would distrust Bai Ye, let alone him!?
At this point, Bai Ye personally stepped forward to support himself.

If that's the case, it would be a bit unreasonable not to take advantage of it.

For Blackbeard, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, and it's absolutely impossible for him to give it up!
Overall, now that Bai Ye has endorsed him, he doesn't need to prove anything.

This can be considered a shortcut for Blackbeard.

Moreover, given the current situation, the pirates also need a leader!
"Bai Ye is currently the biggest pirate!"

"Vocli said calmly, although Blackbeard's words were very good and the blueprint he described was also very good."

However, in their view, Blackbeard was talking nonsense, as his strength had already expanded considerably.

Now, Blackbeard actually wants to continue expanding!?
What does it mean? !

In fact, they all understood what Blackbeard really meant.

Speaking of which, that bastard Blackbeard is actually thinking about continuing to expand; isn't that just his way of becoming the third largest power in the world?!

Why was the navy able to suppress pirates in the past?!

One reason is that the World Government was behind the scenes; without the World Government, even logistics would have been a problem.

Moreover, while it may seem that the World Government didn't do much, it still provided a lot of support to the Navy.

But the most crucial point is that pirates are scattered.

This is the most crucial point.

Pirates are pirates; they can never form a large group like the Navy.

Even the Rocks Pirates were the same; even though they brought a unified voice to the New World, the New World was not completely subservient to Rocks.

There were still some people among them who were simply impossible for Rocks to subdue.

And yet, even in this matter, Rocks didn't actually collect it, did he?!

In fact, the new world today seems to be much more powerful than the one under Rocks’ rule.

However, the majority of pirates aren't actually in the New World. (End of Chapter)
