Zhutian: Countless me, join the chat group

"Of course we're ready to retreat at any time, what else?!"

Blackbeard grinned. What other method could there be?!

For Blackbeard, isn't this the only method he can think of?!
What else could it be?!

However, they are already prepared to retreat at any time. After all, Blackbeard had thought about it when the World Government made arrangements for him.

If I really fight this to the bitter end, the final result will most likely not be good.

In that case, preparing for retreat is the best course of action.

After all, they couldn't defeat them, and neither Byakuya nor the World Government could resolve this matter.

I can only temporarily suppress those thoughts.

Let's come here first and wait for the right opportunity to strike. Anyway, Blackbeard won't fight to the death.

I'm not here to serve the world government; everyone has their own agenda.

The World Government was aware of this, which is why they were placed in this position.

I am the same.

Therefore, given that neither party has pure intentions, at this point, one should simply focus on achieving their own objective.

Then we'll see who wins this 'match'.

"It's that simple?!"

Shiryu took a drag of his cigarette, a hint of helplessness flashing in his eyes.

no? !
At first, I thought they had some other ideas.

So that's all there is to Blackbeard's story?!

"Otherwise what?! Overly complicated plans are actually useless, and for us, overly complicated plans may not be of much use either."

Blackbeard had actually come up with many complex plans.

But later he denied all of it.

Why?!
After thinking it over carefully, he finally came to a conclusion.

That would be a plan that's too complicated; whether it can even succeed on my end is a question.

The more complex the plan, the more problems it will naturally bring. But what if I don't intend to do it at this time?
Just know that you should run away when you can.

Then there wouldn't be so many problems.

"But if you're really going to do that, how are we going to leave here?! You don't really think we can leave from here, do you?!"

It's very simple.

However, in Shiryu's view, once they arrived here, almost nothing that happened would go according to their wishes.

Ultimately, can it really be that simple to just leave?!

impossible!

This was essentially predetermined.

Like those desperate pirates, what lies behind them?!

Behind them was a towering mountain, a mountain that could never be crossed.

What about ahead?!
Ahead are the Whitebeard Pirates and the Marines.

It's fair to say that many situations are not as simple as Blackbeard imagines.

This guy's idea is just ridiculous.

In any case, Shiryu of the Rain does not agree with Blackbeard's ideas.

Or perhaps Blackbeard has something else he hasn't said?
Is it distrust?!

Shiryu's eyes flickered, and a strange feeling suddenly arose in his heart.

If that's really the case, then it's something he might find hard to accept.

After all, he had essentially gambled his life on Blackbeard.

It turns out Blackbeard had other plans as well.

"Hehe, then it'll all depend on our own abilities, right?! We've recruited so many pirates already, so if I want to leave, it'll be up to me, won't it?!"

Blackbeard grinned and, after hearing Shiryu's words, he spoke without any hesitation.

For Blackbeard, this is really nothing.

Or as everyone knows, this is just cannon fodder.

Therefore, given that they are considered cannon fodder...

Then this group of people must be prepared to sacrifice themselves, and they must also be prepared to sacrifice themselves.

"You know, it's fine to rely on your own abilities, but this isn't what I expected!"

They ran away like dogs after being beaten.

In this situation, Shiryu was also somewhat helpless.

Besides, even if you run, you have to consider the situation above.

If Bai Ye wins, then there's really nothing more to think about.

There's no way they can escape now.

"Hehe, why think so much? Since you're here, haven't you already prepared to die?!"

Lafayette chuckled.

In this matter, everyone was prepared to die.

But you must have come here before you had thought things through.

That being said, since we're already here, we might as well prepare to die!
Shiliu didn't speak, he remained silent, just as Lafayette had said.

He really didn't want to die. Although he said he wasn't afraid of death, he came here to take a gamble.

And then you tell me that the probability of death is very high at this point.

If that's the case, then I really will find it hard to accept this!
After all, none of them wanted to die, but everyone had seen it, and this group of people were already prepared.

no? !
Does anyone really believe that these people are powerful enough to stop anything?!
It seems to be entirely my own imagination!
There's no way the other party can change anything.

Ultimately, the World Government is not something they can deal with. Is this place in Byakuya really something they can't handle?

It seems that the situation here is definitely not a good one.

Ultimately, there's the entire Whitebeard Pirates crew and the Marines too!
Although Shiryu wasn't part of the Navy, he was considered a member of the World Government. So, from that perspective, he probably knew this.

As the most violent agency under the world government.

Just how terrifying is the navy?

Isn't it precisely because they knew about this?!

That's why I feel hopeless.

"Forget it, there's no way we can escape now!"

Shiryu took a deep drag of his cigarette, then turned to look at the person in front of him.

He decided to proceed according to his own plan from now on, and he didn't want to guess how it should be done.

At the same moment, seeing Blackbeard step out, the pirates who were initially uneasy now had a bit more confidence.

Perhaps it's what Blackbeard is showing right now.

They also felt that Blackbeard might have some advantage!

Of course, most pirates aren't actually very intelligent. Regarding this matter, many people saw Blackbeard there, and he seemed quite confident.

Many people suddenly felt that perhaps this was also possible for them?!
If that's the case, then there's naturally nothing to worry about, right?
For them, as long as they see Blackbeard appear in front of them, they naturally have nothing to worry about.

Ultimately, they just felt that if they won this time, they could get everything.

This was also something Blackbeard had promised.

As for whether I'll even survive?!
Isn't that what happens when you go out to sea? So many people die every day, but you're still alive and well!
When you're out in the game, you're powerful and have women around!
So many people die every day, and it never happens to me, so no matter how you look at it, it seems like this thing will never happen to me either!
This is what everyone thinks.

After all, so many people die every day, and everyone has seen what the final outcome will be.

So, since everyone will die anyway, but the idea that they themselves won't die has taken root in their minds, it's impossible for them to simply give up on these things.

No one believed they were the unlucky one; everyone thought they were destined to become king.

Otherwise, why would I go to sea in the first place?!

That makes it impossible to go to sea!
Therefore, in this matter, no one considers themselves to be cannon fodder.

So, of course, we decided to give it a try.

Looking down at the pirates who had been provoked by him.

Blackbeard grinned.

He had been considering whether these people might run away.

After all, this group of people is the least trustworthy.

The main problem is a lack of strength.

Moreover, these people lacked conviction, and they also knew they were not strong enough in this situation.

There's a high chance they'll be afraid and want to run away.

Therefore, Blackbeard truly had no confidence whatsoever when facing this group of people.

Fortunately, it seems that everything is developing as I had hoped.

It seems that something is amiss with this group of people.

But I'm still very greedy.

But for Blackbeard, this was absolutely acceptable.

He can genuinely accept the greed of this group of people; on the contrary, he worries that they might not be greedy.

If these people weren't greedy, many of my plans wouldn't be able to be implemented.

Ultimately, he relied on the greed of this group of people.

But that's it.
He certainly can give.

But...
These people need to be alive to get it; if they die, then you can't blame yourself.

After all, I had already thought it through before.

If I can achieve my ultimate goal, then I can give all of this to the other party.

But even Blackbeard himself isn't entirely sure if he can get it.

So all they can do is pray that while they are still alive to complete their task, Blackbeard is also able to complete it!

But that's it.
These are all things for later.

After all, I haven't even gotten past the first hurdle yet.

If this hurdle isn't overcome, then I have no right to say anything about this matter.

Looking at the person in front of him, the sea breeze carrying gunpowder smoke swept across the deck. Blackbeard threw his scarlet cloak behind him, and dark purple mist seeped out from between his fingers.

His eyes were fixed on Ace not far ahead, and he grinned, "Zehahaha. Captain Ace, Roger was able to defeat my father back then thanks to the combined efforts of Garp and the World Government!"

Blackbeard originally didn't want to say such trash talk.

But there was nothing he could do, since his identity had already been exposed.

In this matter, since it has already happened, no matter how unwilling I am to say such trashy things, I will not change my mind.

After all, that background is all in the past, and Blackbeard certainly wouldn't want to talk about it if he could avoid it.

But there is no way.

Since their identities have already been exposed.

Of course, I can't be the same as before at this point.

Ace stared intently at Blackbeard, the flickering flames on his hand illuminating his taut jawline.

He stared sharply at Blackbeard and said coldly, "Stop talking nonsense. The revenge for Thatch will be paid with your blood!"

As for the nonsense Blackbeard spouted.

Ace didn't want to hear it at all.

Ultimately, this matter is nothing more than fatalism.

But Ace didn't believe in fatalism at all.

And most importantly, he actually disliked his father more than he liked him at times.

After all, what his father had done was something only a great pirate could do.

Even the identity of the Pirate King.

But...
There's another thing about this: he was just a great pirate, just the Pirate King, but as a family member, Roger was a complete failure!

Therefore, Roger actually had nothing to be proud of!

After hearing Ace's words, Blackbeard grinned.

He also knew that if he brought this up, Ace probably wouldn't argue with him about it.

Blackbeard didn't think much of what Ace said; he felt that Ace's response was quite normal.

It would be strange for Blackbeard not to answer him that way.

He suddenly opened his arms, and the dark vortex in his palms expanded into a black hole with a diameter of three meters.

"Dark water!"

The terrifying suction force engulfed the deck fragments along with the flames, and Ace was caught off guard and pulled towards the center of the vortex.

Blackbeard was never a good person; he considered himself a despicable one.

Knowing that Ace was going to deal with him, and knowing that his situation was not good.

If I were still here waiting for Ace to make a move, what would happen?

Isn't that stupid?!
Blackbeard would never allow that to happen.

He naturally wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to make a move.

He hadn't considered whether this move could directly kill Ace or how.

If I can injure Ace or something, or distract Whitebeard's side, then I can use this opportunity to do something.

Otherwise, they would have absolutely no chance.

After all, the best way for him was to take action directly, before Ace could react, and before anyone else could react.

As long as he succeeds this time, he will continue to succeed in the future; this is what Blackbeard has always believed.

And now, seeing Ace being sucked in by him so completely unprepared.

Blackbeard's smile became even more impossible to hide.

Blackbeard felt that his plan was already on the verge of success; he thought he should be able to succeed this time! (End of Chapter)
