One Piece: Kaido the Beast Playing House.

Chapter 971: The Rise of Blackbeard and Alrita

At the same time, in the West Sea, on an unknown island.

The ships on the seashore were engulfed in flames, the navy's flags were burning in the flames, screams and groans of pain kept echoing, making the entire ship look like hell on earth.

“Thief hahahaha! As expected, destiny is still with me! Thief hahahaha! Although they have been trying to stop me, I finally got the chance!”

Blackbeard Teach held a naval captain's head in his hand and stood on the burning deck, laughing wildly.

Originally, because of his repeated encounters with pirate hunters and the navy, Teach thought that his choice was really wrong, but gradually, he found that both sides seemed to have no interest in him. Although the navy did send people to monitor him, they did not seem to take action. It can even be said that the people who were monitoring him were becoming weaker and weaker.

At the beginning, those people seemed to be famous rising stars in the navy. Teach didn't dare to touch such people for the time being. After all, it would not be good for him whether he won or lost. If he lost, there was nothing to say. If he won, the navy would naturally pay more attention to him, and then he might have to face the pursuit of the navy.

Then it was the headquarters' recapper admiral's turn. This time Blackbeard still did not take action, although he felt that the headquarters recapper admiral was not a too difficult opponent for him, but for the same reason as above.

Later, the colonel of the headquarters took over, but Teach still did not move. He would never take action against anyone from the headquarters. Finally, after more than half a year, he succeeded in making the navy relax their vigilance against him. He was just a colonel of a branch with a small broken ship. If he did not take action at this time, it would be really cowardly.

However, Teach was also a person who was used to forbearance. In order to be on the safe side, he did not take action directly. Instead, he tossed and turned. Finally, he came to an unknown uninhabited island. As long as he buried these navy officers here, he would completely cut off contact with others! Because in the past six months, those pirate hunters in the four seas have known that he is not easy to mess with. If the navy no longer has any trace of him, then he will be truly free!

Thinking of this, Teach fought without holding back at all, and despite the pain of being attacked, he destroyed the entire naval ship with the force of thunder. His purpose was to prevent the people on the ship from sending out signals that would have led to his actions being discovered. However, the result was very good. As expected, the navy did not send out any signals and was destroyed by his sudden attack.

"Thief, hahahahahahaha! No one has come to this uninhabited island for decades. It's just the right place to be your grave. No one will know you're dead. It's a nice story, isn't it?"

Teach threw the naval colonel to the ground. His limbs were broken by himself, and he had countless ribs broken. Seeing that he was breathing out more than breathing in, Teach, who had been depressed for such a long time, could finally vent his depression and have a good laugh.

"You damn, cunning pirate, cough, cough, cough, you will not have a good ending."

The naval captain raised his head with difficulty and looked at Teach and said.

"Thief hahahahahahahahahahaha, then you won't see that day. I will be the king of this world! The real king! One of the Four Emperors? No! I will be the Pirate King! Not some kind of pirate who plays house! A real pirate! Thief hahahahahahahahaha!"

Teach didn't care about the captain's words at all. After all, who would care about the words of a weak person? However, as the last person he killed before his freedom, or the person he killed on his way to freedom, Teach was going to give him a special treatment, that is, to be buried in the sea in flames along with this navy ship!

After saying that, Teach kicked the navy colonel directly into the sea of ​​fire. Looking at the navy colonel struggling in the flames, Teach laughed cruelly.

"Hahahahahahahahaha! That's right, this fire represents my rebirth! A rebirth to freedom, to become the king of this world! Hahahahahahahaha! Who else can stop me! But I have to plan carefully from now on, the next fruit is very important to me. I thought Marco and the others would chase after me, and then I would be able to get something from them, but now it seems these guys have learned their lesson. So the next step is to recruit people. After all, a pirate group can't have only one person. I'm not that old idiot, the Red Count."

(The Red Earl, who was leading Brook to the Twin Gorge, sneezed.)
Sometimes the world is like this, too coincidental. Just when Teach was thinking about where to find the crew, this small island that might not have had a single person for decades welcomed its second guest. A ship with a white swan bow and a pink hull appeared in Teach's sight. The pirate flag hanging on the mast of the ship made Teach's eyes light up. "Thief hahahahahahahaha! You are so lucky to meet this person. It must be you. Although I don't know who you are, you are lucky to meet me. You are lucky to become the future king of the world, the crew of the Pirate King! Thief hahahahahahahaha!"

Teach jumped onto his own boat and rowed towards the ship in the distance. On that very feminine-looking ship, Captain Alrita was in a bad mood.

Although she successfully ate the devil fruit and turned from an ugly duckling into a white swan, the enemy she had been looking for, Monkey D. Luffy, was getting farther and farther away from her. Although Alrita was a very proud person, she still had some confidence in her own strength. Her strength was not enough to enter the Grand Line, or she could go to the Grand Line by herself, but she could definitely not reach the level of a bounty of hundreds of millions, which made Alrita very depressed.

Her boat was not small, but there were not many people on it. Since she arrived in the West Sea, she had been looking for strong enough crew members. She didn't want weak ones, otherwise how could she take revenge on that damned Straw Hat Boy? When she was about to go to the island where she hid the smuggled goods, she found a fire here, which made Alrita even more depressed. She had finally found a way to make a little money by smuggling, but it was so unsatisfactory?
This made Alrita order to speed up the voyage. She wanted to see which blind guy dared to disturb her business. She would make that bastard pay the price.

But as they got closer, Alrita felt something was wrong. That burning thing seemed to be a navy ship, right? Or the kind of warship that only colonels in the base could have. Who was so cruel that he could destroy a navy ship?

"Boss! There's a small boat approaching us!"

Just as Alrita was about to give the order to leave, a younger brother ran over and said.

"What? Where?" Alrita looked around hurriedly. If it was a navy soldier who was escaping, she would shoot him immediately and not let the other party think that she did it. She did not want to get into such trouble. And if it was a strong man who destroyed the ship, she would run away immediately. The other party was a madman who dared to attack the navy and was not someone they could afford to provoke.

"The boss over there! A big fat dark-skinned guy."

The younger brother quickly pointed in a direction and said, Alrita quickly looked back, and saw a fat figure on a small boat that looked like a lifeboat rushing towards her boat like a cannonball. Alrita even forgot to give orders and just watched the other party land on her deck.

“Hahahahahahahahahahahaha! What a nice ship. Very good. Then this ship will be my ship from now on! Hahahahahahahahahahahahaha!”

Teach landed on Alrita's boat as if no one was around, looked left and right, and then said excitedly that after all, Alrita's ship was really good, a standard three-masted sailing ship. Although it had no mechanical power device, for Teach, who had been riding on boats or rowing in small boats since his escape, it was indeed a great upgrade.

“Who are you? Do you know that this is——Ah!”

Seeing Teach's appearance, the younger brother immediately stood up and shouted, but before he could say two words, he was knocked away by Alrita's mace. Alrita looked at Teach's appearance, confirmed it carefully, and immediately walked forward happily.

"Excuse me, are you the respected Mr. Marshall D. Teach?" Alrita asked with a smile on her face.

"Thief, hahahahahahahahaha, do you know me?" Teach's laughter made Alrita confirm that she was not mistaken. Suddenly, she had a plan to take revenge on the Straw Hat Boy. In Alrita's waist bag, Teach's pirate wanted poster was placed in it. The reward of 200 million berries on it was the reason why Alrita was excited.
