Chapter 18 Collective Betrayal? [Please Give Me Flowers And Tickets]
"Ahem, sir, I, Marshall D. Teach, admit defeat..."
On the messy port.
The darkness that had submerged everything before had long since disappeared.
Teach, who had just managed to avoid fainting after being treated by Poison Q, couldn't help but cough up blood.
He looked at the man in front of him with awe and fear, hiding his resentment and unwillingness in his heart: "Can I tell you your name?"
Lafitte, Buggy, Shinigami, and others all looked at the mysterious figure in front of them with awe.
Surprised and doubtful.
Who is the other party?
Such swordsmanship skills can never be unknown, and they have no impression of it.
"Blackbeard, open your eyes and see clearly. What is in front of you is Lord Ryoma, the world-famous swordsman in the past, the Dragon-Slaying Samurai!"
Looking at the embarrassed Blackbeard Pirates and his crew, Kalifa couldn't help but hum, full of indescribable pride.
Although it is not clear why Lord Ryoma values Blackbeard so much, who has just emerged on the sea and is technically a "newcomer".
But as he witnessed Ryoma's terrifying strength, he was constantly facing the threat of death compared to being endlessly wanted by the world government.
Her character is not as deep and steady as Rob Lucci's, but she is slightly inclined to follow him.
"Dragon-slaying warrior?"
Blackbeard's pupils shrank sharply.
Lafitte and others were even more stunned.
She looked at Kalifa and the indifferent Ryoma beside her with strange eyes.
I don't want to believe it at all.
Even if you don't want to talk about it, there's no need to use dead people from hundreds of years ago to deal with them, right?
"You don't need to look at me like this. If you can't believe it, just think that I am a person with the same name as Ryoma..."
Ryoma didn't bother to explain.
There's no need to explain that much to these guys.
He kicked Buggys, Lafitte and the others, and said calmly: "Don't waste time, prepare supplies, go to Sabaody Archipelago first, I have to retrieve [Autumn Water]!"
"Qiu Shui?"
Blackbeard's pupils shrank sharply.
"The famous sword that is said to belong to the dragon-slaying samurai, the black sword Shusui ranked among the twenty-one great swords?" Lafitte, the navigator of the Blackbeard Pirates, couldn't help but lost his voice.
As a well-known swordsman in West Blue, he is no stranger to the legend of the world's greatest swordsman who was famous hundreds of years ago.
"Hmph, you don't even think about your own merits. With Lord Ryoma's strength, is it necessary to specially weave such a lie to deceive you?"
Kalifa sarcastically said: "In this world, Devil Fruit's abilities are beyond human intelligence, and it's not impossible that it can make people immortal!"
Unconsciously, I was also in the category of disbelievers before.
Responses were indistinguishable from Lafitte et al.
"Devil Fruit's ability?"
Buggys, Lafitte, Van Oka and others were filled with shock and swallowed hard.
Indeed, Devil Fruit's ability is indeed beyond human intelligence, and it is not surprising to see any kind of performance.
Maybe, it is really possible to have the ability to make people immortal.
Are they really facing a monster from hundreds of years ago?
When Blackbeard heard this, his eyes flickered.
My heart was in turmoil, and I basically believed what Kalifa said.
I never expected that a guy who was thought to have been dead for hundreds of years would actually appear alive in the world.
"I just woke up, and I still have a few people under my command now. Although your strength is a bit inferior, you are still useful..."
Glancing at Lafitte, Buggys and others, Ryoma said calmly: "Rather than continue to follow this guy who has no strength and is destined to be unable to achieve great things, why not abandon the dark side and follow me..."
"Of course, if you don't want to, forget it. This is your only chance."
Ryoma was not polite.
In front of Blackbeard, he directly recruited and poached people.
In other words, this is simply an honest threat.
That is to say, the current shortcomings are manpower, and the potential of Lafitte and Van Oka is so-so.
In the near future, he will be 100% disdainful of such a level!
Although there was no murderous aura soaring into the sky, the invisible and irresistible power still doubled the pressure on Van Oka, Lafitte and others, making them feel a little breathless.
Cold sweat fell down.
His expression changed, showing some confusion and hesitation.
To say how loyal he is to Blackbeard is obviously false.
They follow each other just because they have a fancy for the other's potential to reach the top in the future.
Now, this mysterious man is in front of me.
That terrifying strength is simply despairing.
Moreover, if they dare to refuse, they might have to explain it here immediately.
The person who can cut off the legs of their captain Blackbeard without hesitation and force him to submit is definitely not a kind person.
When Blackbeard heard this, his expression changed drastically.
Angry eyes.
But I dare not speak out in anger.
He finally picked a few good crew members, but they were about to be poached by Ryoma in the blink of an eye.
Next, even if there was any hope of recovering his legs and escaping the opponent's control, it would still take time to recruit his subordinates again.
"I originally followed Captain Teach because he hoped to replace Whitebeard's position and even become a real great Poseidon..."
Lafitte, who was covered in blood, managed to hold himself up, knelt on one knee and said with a smile: "Since you think so highly of us, Lafitte is naturally willing to serve you!"
His originally pale complexion became even paler due to the injury, which was a bit scary.
"Ahem, this is also destiny!" Poison Q coughed up blood, as if he was going to die the next moment, showed a smile that was uglier than crying, and knelt there on one knee.
"I am happy to serve you, Ryoma-sama!"
Fan Oka hesitated for a moment and then knelt down on one knee.
Since he had a better choice, he certainly wouldn't hang on the big tree called Blackbeard.
When it loses its use value, I’m afraid it’s still unclear whether Marshall · D · Teach can survive.
"Asshole, you three..."
Buggy's expression changed drastically.
Extremely frightened and angry, his eyes spit fire.
Some glared at Lafitte, Poison Q and others angrily.
Unexpectedly, the other party would betray the Blackbeard Pirates so easily.
He admitted that he was a little shaken.
But at least you have to have some backbone and some reserve, right?
"Don't look at us like that, Buggys. We are pirates. We have just joined the Blackbeard Pirates not long ago. Captain Teach promised us that he would help us realize our ambitions and dreams. If the plan fails, the Blackbeard Pirates will disband. ..." Glancing at the somewhat stupid Buggy, Lafitte said directly: "Now, with Lord Ryoma's strength, I'm afraid that even if Captain Teach seizes Whitebeard's ability, it will probably be difficult for him to conquer the world. The strongest!"
He is a swordsman.
Naturally, it is clear how much a swordsman's strength is weakened with or without a sword in his hand.
They can destroy the Blackbeard Pirates in an instant without using a sword. I can't even imagine how terrifying Ryoma's true strength will be if he really takes back the [Autumn Water].
Ryoma, who didn't even have a sword in his hand, couldn't block a single move and was easily crushed.
Blackbeard is no longer qualified to serve them.
"Take away Whitebeard's abilities?"
Kalifa's pupils shrank sharply.
Looking at Blackbeard in shock, he couldn't believe it.
Isn't the other party already a user with that Dark Fruit ability?
Is it possible to take away other people's abilities?
She couldn't help but feel shocked when she thought that Ryoma valued Blackbeard's abilities so much.
Although it is still a bit unbelievable, it seems that only in that way can this Blackbeard be worthy of being valued so much by this adult, even going so far as to cut off his legs to force him to submit.
"Hahahaha, I didn't expect that your lord is actually the dragon-slaying warrior who was famous all over the world in the past. It's really hard to believe... Since Lord Ryoma thinks so highly of you guys, just stay with me!"
Blackbeard's expression changed, and he suddenly pretended to be open-minded and laughed.
My heart was bleeding and I felt extremely depressed.
