Luffy, how can you become the Pirate King if you don't work hard!

There was also a low-key raccoon named Nika, who hopped around and had little interest in fighting.

Suddenly, her gaze shifted to an empty spot on the wall not far away.

“Luffy, there’s an annoying guy.” Nika said in a deep voice.

"Ah, I've already seen it."

Luffy suddenly stopped, the inertia from his rubber body causing him to sway slightly before regaining his balance.

Nika jumped onto Luffy's shoulder, saying, "It's a scent I really don't want to smell."

"Indeed, we didn't expect to see each other here. Should we say we're lucky?"

Luffy's gaze fell on a shadowy corner on the side of the passage, where a chaotic aura emanated from, completely different from the surroundings.

"Come out, hiding won't help."

"Hahaha, you've been spotted! I've already made way for you, so why don't you just walk past quietly?"

The empty space in front of Luffy was as if a curtain had been torn open, and a rough, hoarse laugh came from the shadows. Then, several burly men strode out with arrogant steps.

The leader wore an open black captain's coat over a bright red shirt, and around his neck was a striking green beaded necklace. His hands were covered in gemstone rings that gleamed with a gaudy light in the dim light.

He opened his arms, revealing a smile with a few missing teeth. "Straw Hat, I don't want to have a conflict with you guys here either."

As he spoke, Teach's gaze swept over Luffy, then landed on Ace behind him. "It's Captain Ace! Sasshi-buli, I didn't expect you to actually be rescued! Zehahaha, what a pity!"

"Blackbeard!"

Ace's eyes instantly sharpened, his body temperature rose sharply, and his killing intent almost solidified.

This is the man who deceived his companions, murdered Thatch, and handed him over to the World Government, single-handedly causing the storm that is sweeping the world today!

"Hey, Captain Ace, don't get so angry."

Blackbeard ignored Ace's murderous intent, saying, "Wouldn't it be better to just walk through here obediently? I don't actually want to fight you guys in Impel Down either. Aren't our goals the same to some extent now?"

Luffy remained silent, squinting as he looked at the group that had appeared before him.

They were never meant to be together.

Just as Nika said, Blackbeard had that pesky aura.

The two sides were naturally incompatible. Luffy sensed the nauseating aura emanating from Blackbeard... no, from them.

"Blackbeard?"

Crocodile, cigar in mouth, chuckled in his distinctive hoarse voice, "The new Shichibukai to succeed me? You seem ambitious enough, but your strength doesn't quite match your ambition."

"They are the culprits who planned to start this war!"

Jinbe stepped forward, his face grim, and assumed the starting stance of Fishman Karate. "I will never forgive you!"

"Hehehe! This posture is quite interesting."

The golden lion floated over, looking at Blackbeard with great interest, especially at his missing front tooth. "A toothless fellow? If you weren't missing a tooth, your appearance would be quite familiar to this old man."

This reminded him of a certain man.

"Haha, they're all big shots."

Faced with the hostility of these powerful figures, Blackbeard showed no fear, but rather grew even more excited. He opened his arms wide and shouted to Golden Lion, "Golden Lion! You're one of my targets too! How about joining my ranks? I came here to recruit true powerhouses like you! My new era needs strong allies..."

Before he could finish speaking, a bead of cold sweat involuntarily appeared on his forehead, and his gaze was fixed on Luffy.

The invisible pressure that had suddenly emanated from Luffy made him feel extremely uncomfortable.

I interrupted him without saying a word.

That's domineering!

"Straw hat, this domineering aura reminds me of a man I know."

Teach pictured Shanks' scarred face in his mind. "Hehehe, I'd like to leave a scar on your face too. Maybe it'll suit a man like you."

"There's a conflict between what you want to do and what you actually do. You were trying to hide from us just now, afraid to come out."

Luffy stared at Blackbeard and said, "But your aura can't be concealed at all."

Like a rat hiding in a sewer, it's disgusting.

He drew the demonic black sword from his waist; the jet-black blade seemed to absorb light. He shouted, "Since you're a Shichibukai, you're a member of the World Government. I'll finish you off here."

Flames erupted from Ace's body as he stepped forward to stand shoulder to shoulder with Luffy, saying in a deep voice, "Hey, Luffy, this guy is my target. I must settle my score with him myself!"

"Hehehe! Fire Fist Kid, don't push yourself!"

The Golden Lion laughed loudly and said, "Your body hasn't fully recovered yet, has it? Do you want to be caught by this guy again?"

He completely ignored Blackbeard's invitation.

In his eyes, although this toothless guy had a strange aura, his temperament was far removed from that of Roger and Whitebeard, whom he admired.

An ambitious man.

However, the scope is too narrow.

"Ace, that guy's partner is in your hands now."

Luffy grinned and said, "As the younger brother, it's only natural for me to avenge my older brother, right?"

His gaze never left Blackbeard. "I'll take care of this toothless bastard!"

Ace calmed down.

Just as the Golden Lion said, don't be fooled by their ease in dealing with the prison guards; the prisoners who have just been released from prison are not at their peak strength.

Almost at the same moment Luffy finished speaking, the excited voice of Warden Little Sadie, with its sadistic undertones, came from the other side of the passage:

"Guards! Hurry! Seize all these disobedient escapees! Ah~ This time, they must be punished to the fullest extent of the law!"

Blackbeard glanced at the reinforcements of jailers and jailer beasts, and grinned: "They really don't listen to people finish speaking."

Various conflicting forces have made their appearances.

The members of the Blackbeard Pirates also stepped forward.

"Hahaha! Encountering an enemy of this caliber right from the start, this is tough, Captain!"

Fighting champion Gizas Bages laughed, raising his muscular arms, looking eager to try.

“It’s all a gift from fate,” Van Augur said calmly, raising his spear, Thousand Six.

"Hehehe, then let's treat them to some apples."

The sickly Poison Q lay weakly on the back of the sturdy horse Zhuangzhuang, talking listlessly as he pulled a few apples that didn't look very good from the basket.

"Wait a minute,"

Wearing a large black top hat, dressed like a theatrical actor, and sporting bright red lipstick, Laffitte elegantly removed her hat and gave Luffy a slight bow. "Respected Straw Hat, I believe our interests are not conflicting at this stage. Your goal is to escape Impel Down, while our goal might be to aid you in creating chaos. Cooperation is the key in pirates; there's no need..."

Chapter 349 Clash: Magellan and Aokiji's Comeback

Swish!

Before Laffitte could finish speaking, a jet-black blade of light, like lightning tearing through space, shot out from Luffy's direction without warning, its target Laffitte.

"Um?!"

Blackbeard's pupils contracted, and he reacted extremely quickly. His obese body burst with a speed that was disproportionate to his size, and he suddenly pulled Lafitte backward!

laugh!

The blade grazed the edge of Lafitte's top hat, severing a few strands of his hair, which embedded themselves deeply in the wall behind him.

He was almost beheaded.

"Your negotiation skills are completely useless against this man, Lafitte."

Blackbeard's face darkened as he stared at Luffy.

"Hahaha!"

He then burst into laughter again, clenched his fist, and the darkness smashed open before his eyes.

"I really want to get some things back from you, Straw Hat Boy! Back in Devil's Town, that punch you threw almost sent our entire crew to their deaths at sea!"

"It's a real shame we didn't kill you back then."

Luffy shook off his demonic energy, his eyes cold. "But it doesn't matter, Blackbeard. The aura emanating from you truly disgusts me to the core."

His aura began to rise steadily, and white steam mixed with black and red electric arcs began to swirl around him. "Since we've met, let's settle this once and for all here!"

As he spoke, Luffy's figure suddenly blurred, and in the next instant, he had vanished from the spot!

Blackbeard only felt a flash of white light before his eyes, and Luffy's aura seemed to completely merge into the air, as if it were pressing down from all directions at the same time.

He and Luffy had a somewhat informal clash in Devil Town, but it was under extremely harsh weather conditions, and Blackbeard always believed that he was at a disadvantage due to the environment.

Facing him head-on, the oppressive feeling, like being stared at by a prehistoric beast, set off alarm bells in his mind.

Did he not use his full strength when he wore that straw hat?

Blackbeard couldn't believe that Luffy's strength could break through several levels in just a few months.

"Men! Give these big shots a good welcome! Otherwise, you could easily die!" Blackbeard roared.

"Worry about yourself first."

Boom!

A loud bang exploded in front of him.

Luffy's figure appeared like a ghost, and his fist, covered in flowing Haki, was already slamming towards him!

The latter's expression suddenly changed, he crossed his arms in front of him, and with a bang, Teach was sent flying backward.

"So fast!"

Adjusting his posture in mid-air, Blackbeard dared not be careless in the slightest. He clenched his left hand instantly, and a cloud of black smoke appeared out of thin air, wrapping around his fist.

This was the Dark-Dark Fruit ability he had longed for and had endured for many years to obtain!
