Kaido, the father-in-law, used monster cells to create the strongest Beast.

He then went to look for the Nika fruit.

But fate always plays tricks, and the Nika fruit ended up being eaten by his son.

Since then,

Dragon, who had ignored Luffy since his birth, has begun to secretly observe him.

Even when Luffy first set sail, Dragon followed and protected him for a period of time.

later,

Long then learns that the successor he is grooming, Sabo, the second-in-command of the Revolutionary Army, is actually his son's sworn brother.

It was as if everything was preordained by fate.

Dragon suddenly realized that his son Luffy was definitely the chosen one, Joy Boy, the ultimate sun god and savior!

Judging from Rayleigh's attitude and previous statements.

Not only him, but also the legendary Hades and Shanks, one of the Four Emperors of the New World, share the same view.

The dragon became even more convinced.

Even though the power of the Hundred Beasts Clan is growing stronger and stronger, and the reputation of the Fifth Emperor Luo Xing is becoming more and more prominent.

But in the end, Luffy will definitely be the victor!

This is fate's arrangement, there's absolutely no way it will go wrong!

Just as Dragon and Rayleigh were discussing how to help Luffy recover quickly and get back to training,

A revolutionary soldier suddenly rushed in, panting, and said:

"Boss, someone has ambushed us! They claim to be the Blackbeard Pirates!"

　3.7 "What, Blackbeard?!"

Rayleigh stood up in shock:

"How did he find this place?"

Baltigo's location is so well hidden that even the World Government is unaware of it.

Long remained calm and said:

“A ship had previously returned from the outside, possibly because they were being followed.”

Sabo asked:

"Mr. Long, let me go and capture that black-bearded man!"

Ace was handed over to the Navy by Blackbeard, making Blackbeard the culprit who killed Ace!

Now that Sabo has regained his memories, how could he not hate Blackbeard?

Dragon shook his head and said:

"Now is not the time to start a war with them. We need to continue to hide our strength. Besides, it is most important to let Luffy train in peace."

"Sabo, give the order to have the Revolutionary Army brothers retreat. Don't let them die in vain."

"Ivankov, the headquarters may be moving to your country soon."

217. The world-destroying power of the god-level monster cell, system upgraded to level 8.

The revolutionary army actually abandoned Baldigo and chose to retreat.

This decision was beyond Blackbeard's expectations; he had thought he was about to face a life-or-death battle.

After all, the other side has Rayleigh, the Dark Lord, and their leader Monkey D. Dragon is certainly not a simple character.

It won't be easy for Blackbeard to take down Baldigo.

Therefore,

When the Revolutionary Army chose to retreat, Blackbeard was puzzled but pleased with the outcome.

His priority now is to build up his strength; there's no need for him to actually fight the revolutionary army to the death.

Blackbeard let the Revolutionary Army retreat without engaging in any proper pursuit.

but.

The revolutionary army left behind to cover the rear was their chief of staff, a young man named Sabo.

When the young man saw his black beard, he looked at him as if he were an enemy, his teeth clenched in hatred.

Caught off guard, Blackbeard was hit by a Dragon Claw Fist, which made him scream in pain.

The young man named Sabo said:

"Blackbeard Teach, one day I'll settle the score with you for Ace!"

Blackbeard then realized that this man hated him so much because of Ace's death.

Blackbeard chuckled:

"I'll be waiting for that day, hahahaha!" 19

Once the revolutionary army had completely retreated...

The smile on Blackbeard's face gradually disappeared.

It became gloomy.

There was absolutely no excitement about conquering Baltimore.

Burgess asked, puzzled:

"Captain, are you afraid of that Revolutionary Army Chief of Staff, Sabo?"

Blackbeard scoffed disdainfully:

"What is that guy? He's about the same level as Ace at best. He's not even worth my attention!"

Burgess continued to ask:

"What are you thinking, Captain?"

Blackbeard said:

"I'm thinking about how to obtain the power of the Tremor-Tremor Fruit!"

Until now,

Blackbeard still hasn't given up on his plan to obtain the Tremor-Tremor Fruit's power.

after all,

That's a power capable of destroying the world. Only after obtaining the Tremor-Tremor Fruit could Blackbeard be confident that he would be the strongest in the world.

Despite its power, the Dark-Dark Fruit still has many limitations.

Against a pure Haki powerhouse like Luo Xing, one of the Five Emperors, the advantages of the Dark-Dark Fruit for its users would be completely negated.

The side effects of having to endure double the damage to his body would actually be a huge burden on Blackbeard.

This is why Blackbeard chose to slink away when he encountered Luo Xing several times before.

He currently lacks the means to deal with non-Devil Fruit users.

The Tremor-Tremor Fruit is something Blackbeard absolutely needs to obtain.

"But Whitebeard is dead, and we don't know how long it will be before the Tremor-Tremor Fruit reappears on the sea."

Burgess scratched his head and said:

"How long do we have to wait?"

"No, we don't need to wait around aimlessly!"

Blackbeard clenched his fist, a strange light flashing in his eyes.

"As long as I can get Whitebeard's corpse, I still have a way to obtain the power of the Tremor-Tremor Fruit!"

The Dark-Dark Fruit has a special ability: it can steal the Devil Fruit powers of a deceased user.

Blackbeard can absorb these abilities into himself or transfer them to others.

therefore.

After obtaining the power of the Tremor-Tremor Fruit, Blackbeard's plan to dominate the seas was to create a powerful army composed entirely of Devil Fruit users.

In this way, he would have the power to compete with the World Government and the Beasts Pirates!

"But Shanks took Whitebeard's body, so who knows where he'll bury him?"

"Navigator Lafayette said with a frown."

Blackbeard chuckled sinisterly.

"I know without even thinking where he'll be buried—it'll definitely be Whitebeard's hometown!"

"That's the place Whitebeard cherished most; even within the Whitebeard Pirates, very few people knew about it."

"Hahaha, but I've been on the Moby Dick for decades, of course I can't hide this from you!"

Blackbeard completely predicted the actions of Marco and the remnants of the Whitebeard Pirates.
