The most courageous pirate hunter

So the Blackbeard Pirates are now almost all of their members, except for Burgess and Kuzan, who will leave the Navy in the future.

The reason why there are rumors that Blackbeard will replace Shanks as the new Yonko is because Blackbeard has been hunting down Devil Fruit users recently.

It has a terrible reputation.

"Find a way to shake off that great white shark."

Blackbeard was also in a terrible mood, but what could he do for his safety?

"Should we abandon the pirate ship?"

"A mere pirate ship, we can just abandon it."

"Why don't we just kill the great white shark?"

Katarina tossed her long hair, her fierce face filled with murderous intent.

"Hehehe~"

"What if the Great White Shark is just bait? That beast Jormungandr is clearly targeting me. I have a strong feeling about it."

Blackbeard felt a chill run down his spine when he recalled the Marineford War.

Moreover, he felt that Jormungandr had ill intentions towards him. Although he had no concrete evidence, he trusted his intuition and often wondered why he was being targeted.

"It's been so many days, if the Hunter King were here, he would have made a move long ago."

The thought of that man filled Katrin with apprehension.

"uncertain."

Lafitt, with a serious expression, continued, "I have carefully studied the deeds of the Hunter King and found that he is even more despicable and shameless than us. He will stop at nothing to achieve his goals."

If we possess something that the other party truly desires, we will inevitably be targeted.

No matter what, that man wouldn't act unless he was 60% certain.

They strictly adhere to the principle of either not taking any action at all, or taking action to achieve their goal.

So it's right for the captain to be careful.

"Lafitte is right, we can't always have the same luck we had during Marineford."

Poison Q was perched on Zhuangzhuang's back, looking like he was about to die at any moment.

"Humph."

Shiryu of the Rain, puffing on a cigar, looked down on Blackbeard and his crew, finding them too cowardly.

"Hehehe~"

"This time, we've abandoned our pirate ship and shaken off the Great White Shark. As long as we continue hunting Devil Fruit users and find matching abilities for you, I believe we'll already be one of the Four Emperors by then."

"Isn't it being talked about now? It wasn't for nothing that we spent so much money creating hype."

Seeing that the atmosphere was a bit strange, Blackbeard quickly changed the subject.

That's right.

Recently, rumors have been circulating on the high seas that the Blackbeard Pirates are the new Four Emperors. It turns out that Blackbeard paid for the trending topic. Sometimes, rumors start to become true.

"So, who will we hunt next?"

"It's time to set our sights on a few heavyweight powerhouses and solidify our status as one of the Four Emperors."

Blackbeard laughed heartily; he already had a new target.

If he weren't unsure, he genuinely wanted to seize the Hunter King's power, but unfortunately, the time wasn't right yet. He'd wait until he had further strengthened the Blackbeard Pirates' forces before making a move.

"A heavyweight powerhouse?"

A group of people raised questions.

"Boa Hancock and Gecko Moria, I believe that after eliminating the two Shichibukai, no one will object to us replacing the Red-Haired Pirates as one of the Four Emperors of the New World."

"Boa Hancock's abilities are terrifying."

"Furthermore, Moria's abilities, as well as those of his subordinates, are extremely enviable."

Blackbeard felt a sense of apprehension whenever he thought of Hancock's abilities.

That woman is not to be underestimated.

“Boa Hancock’s abilities are indeed terrifying. If I hadn’t already eaten a Devil Fruit, I would really want to have her abilities.” Katrin Demi stuck out her tongue and licked her red lips.

His words were full of regret.

"Moria's Devil Fruit is also quite good."

"Shiryu, I heard that Moria has a subordinate who is a Paramecia-type Clear-Clear Fruit user. I think that would be a good fit for you."

Blackbeard turned to look at Shiryu. He believed that if Shiryu obtained this Devil Fruit, his strength would be greatly enhanced. If he didn't already have a Devil Fruit he had planned to eat, he might have eaten this one.

Imagine if he ate the Clear-Clear Fruit and combined it with the Dark-Dark Fruit's power, he would be unstoppable, and his enemies might not even know how they died.

However, the abilities of the old man and Jormungandr were simply too attractive.

He was simply unaware of Jormungandr's abilities, as there were many similar Devil Fruit powers. Among the Devil Fruit encyclopedias he had seen were Mini-Fruit, Size Fruit, Wishing Fruit, Shrink Fruit, and other similar Devil Fruits.

Therefore, Jormungandr was unsure what fruit he had eaten.

Regardless of what fruit the other party ate, once he obtains it, he can develop it in the same way as the King of Hunters, and master it in the shortest possible time.

"Transparent Fruit?"

Shiryu exhaled a smoke ring, which seemed pretty good.

"Hehehe~"

“Let’s go!!”

Chapter 324 [Have we already entered the era of alliances?]

Hancock and Moria, who were being targeted by Blackbeard, were completely unaware that they had been targeted. It was as if trouble had fallen into their laps, or even that they had been caught in a trap because they possessed something valuable.

But perhaps it's just a coincidence.

Hancock and Doflamingo chose to join forces in order to deal with Hermes, or to maintain their influence in the future and avoid being exploited by the Navy.

And he intends to win over the other Seven Warlords of the Sea.

Moriah was among them.

to be honest.

Currently, there are only four Shichibukai, so they have no other choice but to try to win over Moria and Mihawk.

Because Moria hasn't been defeated by Luffy yet, his prestige hasn't dropped much, and he still has his moments of glory, such as his battle with Kaido.

Unlike in the original story, he wasn't looked down upon by Doflamingo.

Furthermore, the fact that Doflamingo and Hancock were both attacked by Hermes has significantly lowered their prestige, making them roughly on the same level as Moria in comparison.

So when Doflamingo contacted Moria, they set a time.

The terrifying three-masted sailing ship.

Moria's territory is a massive pirate ship, comparable to a small island.

"This is truly a place no human being can live in."

"I hate this place."

In the eerie and terrifying forest, Hancock sat on her pet Salome, tossing her long hair across her forehead with disgust on her pretty face. Beside her stood Doflamingo, strutting around with an air of utter indifference and a smirk.

That's right.

The two of them are here today to form an alliance.

In order to prevent the outside world from knowing that the two of them had joined forces, both Hancock and Doflamingo came alone.

"That suits Moria."

Doflamingo gazed at the distant castle, convinced that Moria was already waiting for them.

However, Moriah is really arrogant; he didn't even send anyone to greet them.

"What are your thoughts on the fact that Blackbeard teamed up with Kaido and Big Mom, Sakazuki's attack on Whole Cake Island, and the rumors that Blackbeard is one of the Four Emperors?"

Hancock glanced at Doflamingo.

The sea has been quite a hot topic lately, very lively.

"Fufufu~"

"I didn't expect Kaido and Big Mom to team up."

Doflamingo was shocked when he heard the news. That was Kaido! How could he team up with someone else? Even when they cooperated with him before, it was like giving him charity.

They found themselves in a weaker position.

As expected, his alliance with Hancock was the right one. Even Kaido wasn't confident in dealing with this era, let alone anyone else.

"With Kaido and Big Mom joining forces, we shouldn't be the first to worry. Even the Four Emperors can't withstand the impact of this era, so we should stick together even more."
