The Revolutionary Army held its annual meeting, and only Akainu and I were left in the Navy

Ace looked ashen.

What Blackbeard said was absolutely correct.

It's not Blackbeard that's the one that matters.

But him!

As the son of Pirate King Roger.

Ace since he was very young.

I have been thinking about the meaning of my existence.

He originally thought he had figured it out.

....................

But now.

Instead, I am still troubled.

Blackbeard looked at the tormented expression on Ace's face.

Indescribable comfort.

This is a way of playing with people's hearts.

He liked it so much.

What I want is to make Ace suffer before he dies!

Die with endless regret!

Although this does not bring any substantial benefits to Blackbeard.

But, it can only cause Ace pain.

that's enough.

"What a shame, Ace."

"If you want to blame someone, just blame the Dark-Dark Fruit for appearing and choosing me."

There was a strange flash in Blackbeard's eyes.

Maybe if the Dark-Dark Fruit had not appeared at that time.

Blackbeard will still be Whitebeard's good brother.

A capable man on board.

But human dreams...will never end.

Blackbeard also has his reasons for moving forward!

....................

Blackbeard ignored Ace.

There was no way he could recruit Ace.

First of all, there's no way Ace would agree to this.

on the other hand.

Because Ace must be executed.

In this way, Blackbeard's subsequent plans can proceed normally.

Blackbeard walked deeper into the sixth floor.

He can feel it.

There is a more powerful presence inside.

"Here comes a troublesome guy."

In a dark cell.

A voice was heard.

Blackbeard's expression froze.

The breath of this person.

Very strong.

This should be the only cell on the entire sixth floor.

This made Blackbeard feel the strongest fear.

....................

"Hahaha!!!"

This is exactly the kind of person Blackbeard wants!

Badgers and others followed behind Blackbeard.

They all know it very well.

What you will see next.

He is definitely a very powerful and terrifying person.

Soon, Blackbeard arrived between two cells deep inside.

The two cells on the left and right actually held criminals.

Being able to be detained so deep in the sea by the navy.

They are definitely top-level existences.

"Tell me what conditions you want."

Before Blackbeard could speak.

The other party has spoken first.

....................

after all.

in this world.

There is no way anyone would do something for nothing.

Deliberately break into Impel Down, a place full of criminals.

He must need the criminal to do something for him.

As long as it is a win-win situation for both parties.

Why not do it?

Blackbeard was stunned.

He really likes it so directly.

"Be my crew."

"I, Marshall Teach, will be the future Pirate King."

Blackbeard said straightforwardly.

That's his ambition.

The man in the cell.

It seemed that he didn't expect Blackbeard to say such arrogant words.

He actually laughed out loud.

"Not everyone can be the Pirate King."

"There are too many people like you on the Grand Line."

"Roger is strong enough, so I am willing to help him."

"Who do you think you are?!"

In the cell.

The man stood up.

A sturdy body and yellow hair.

He grabbed the cell bars.

Blackbeard was so scared that he hid back.

What this person looks like.

Lafitte had recognized it.

....................

"He was a member of Roger's pirate group back then."

"Douglas Barrett!!"

Lafitte exclaimed.

Blackbeard's expression changed.

Sure enough, the criminal on the sixth floor.

None of them is ordinary.

It turned out to be a former crew member on Roger’s ship!

"I am able to become a crew member on the two Pirate Kings' ships."

"Isn't that a good thing for you?"

Blackbeard sneered.

Then the Dark-Dark Fruit covered the ground with a layer of darkness.

Two cell keys appeared in Blackbeard's hands.

....................

"Dark fruit?"

Barrett's pupils contracted.

As one of the top powerful people in the old era.

Of course he knows.

What kind of fruit is the dark-dark fruit?

A Devil Fruit user who can overcome almost everything.

Someone who possesses the Dark-Dark Fruit.

The strength really can't be too bad.

Moreover, he was someone who could break into Impel Down.

Barrett took two steps back.

He opened the bars of the cell with his hands.

"Hahaha!!"

Watch Barrett's performance.

Blackbeard already understood.

He let out a wild laugh.

Then, order Badgers to open the cell next door.

Blackbeard himself knew the criminal in this cell.

"Rain Shiryu, the warden of the advancing city."
