Pirates: From Vice Captain to Lord of the Dead

“Uh-huh~ha~…”

After taking two breaths of fresh air, Pizarro took a deep breath and roared at the Den Den Mushi:

"Tiki! Come back and save me!!"

"Nani?!"

Hearing Pizarro's voice, Teach suddenly reacted and his pupils shrank in shock!

boom!

"What's going on, Pizarro! Are they on Beehive Island now? What's the situation there? Where's Shiryu? Where are the others!?"

Teach slammed his palms on the table and asked a series of rapid questions, his tone and expression extremely angry and panicked.

What a joke!

As soon as they entered the Elbaf Sea, they were blocked by the Red Hair Pirates and the Whitebeard Pirates, and they were almost wiped out there.

After hearing the news about Wano Country, he turned around and set his sights on Law and Kidd, wanting to intervene but was scolded by Kaido and left in disgrace.

It happened that the uniforms of the Seven Warlords of the Sea were abolished, and he thought it was a godsend opportunity. However, the world produced Seraphs, and Rayleigh arrived at the Nine Snake Island, and he almost capsized again.

After much difficulty capturing the empress, we had to pay the price of having several of our men petrified. We got nothing out of this trip!

My house was robbed!!

He was still the man he hated the most!!

"Black Snake Reiner!!"

Tiqi was so angry that his fists were shaking, his eyes were bloodshot, and his back teeth were almost broken.

If it weren't for him, how could we have lost Badgers, Poison Q and his men during the Battle of Marineford!

And Daddy's Tremor-Tremor Fruit!!

This damn bastard!!

In the corner, Aokiji, who had been silent all the time, did not say anything at this time, and Fan Oka did not even dare to breathe.

Teach's eyes were bloodshot, and his red eyes made him look like he was about to cry out of anger.

"Why, what on earth do you want to do, by the way, Boa Hancock"

"I see, you are doing this for this woman."

Tiqi had a gloomy face. He was extremely angry but gradually calmed down. He turned his head and looked at Hancock in the corner.

"Aren't you afraid that I will kill her by doing this?"

Turning around, Teach threatened Den Den Mushi coldly.

However, his words only made others anxious and were completely useless to Reiner.

"I'm scared, so I'm here to capture some of your men: Pizarro the Evil King, Shiryu the Rain, Jaeger the Frost Giant, and Sas the Evil Dog."

"There are so many talented people here. You don't want to lose so many of your lovely subordinates, do you, Teach?"

"Me! Damn it!"

Teach gritted his teeth. Reiner's sarcasm angered him again, but he did not lose his temper like before.

Despite offending almost everyone on the sea, Blackbeard was able to survive until now and become one of the overlords of the New World. In addition to his powerful strength and insidious means, there is another reason.

He is just patient enough!

Ashamed?

It doesn't matter. Seeking benefits and avoiding harm is his way of survival.

"So what do you want, a hostage exchange?"

Restraining his inner anger, Teach asked in a cold voice. This time he was really in the grasp of the situation, and he took the initiative to bring it up before the Straw Hat Pirates could speak.

There is no other way. If he loses Shiryu and others, he will only have Aokiji and Van Oka as his subordinates. This pirate group will be dead in name only, and he may not even be able to keep Aokiji and Van Oka.

It would not be an exaggeration to describe his current situation as 'pitiable'.

"Well, it seems I've offended too many people. It's not a good feeling to run into obstacles everywhere I go."

Aokiji said lightly from the side.

If the Blackbeard gang really...

Well, this is really troublesome, Aokiji sighed inwardly. I guess I will have to go back to my wandering life then.

or.

He glanced at the Den Den Mushi in Blackbeard's hand and thought carefully. He had come into contact with the Straw Hat Pirates several times, but he had never made any enemies with them. He even let them escape several times.

Forget it, let’s talk about it then.

Aokiji took off his eye mask and leaned back, sinking his whole body into the soft back of the sofa. He did not feel the slightest sense of crisis about the situation the pirate group was facing.

The sunlight shone lazily on Aokiji's face through the half-closed window.

In the entire dim room, there was only a ray of out-of-place light left where he was lying.

Chapter 376: One wave comes after another

Beehive Island.

Click.

"Done. It sounds like Hancock's condition isn't good, but at least she's alive. All we have to do now is wait for Blackbeard and the others to come back."

After hanging up the Den Den Mushi, Reiner put his hands in his trouser pockets and looked back at everyone carefully.

"I'm afraid a war is unavoidable by then, so be mentally prepared."

"Indeed. He must hate you to the core now and want to tear you to pieces."

Sanji looked at Reiner, then lowered his head and lit a cigarette. When the smoke slowly rose, he said seriously:

"We already had a feud before, and with this incident, Blackbeard won't let it go even if we hand his men back."

"Neither we nor they can tolerate each other anymore. If that's the case, we might as well just end it here."

Zoro followed in a deep voice, agreeing with Sanji for once.

Everyone remained silent, as if they agreed with the opinions of the three of them, and their expressions became serious again.

They had just heard from Reiner about Blackbeard's ability, a special natural-type Dark-Dark Fruit that was very effective against people with special abilities. It was an extremely difficult ability for both Reiner and Luffy.

What Reiner didn't say was that Blackbeard probably now has more than one ability.

As for how many there are and what they are, he himself has no idea, and he has to be on guard against being tricked by the other party.

However, according to his guess, after losing the Tremor-Tremor Fruit, Blackbeard will most likely find a fruit that is more offensive and focuses more on power to replace it.

After all, a big reason why the opponent set their sights on the Tremor-Tremor Fruit in the first place was to make up for their own burst, so it would most likely be a relatively simple and crude ability.

This is better. If it were some strange or bizarre ability, he would be afraid of it.

The opponent has a move that can suck people with special abilities into his hands, so it is difficult to avoid being exposed during a fight. It would be troublesome if the opponent has a second ability like the Childlike Fun Fruit.

"Besides Blackbeard, Aokiji should not be underestimated."

Robin lowered his brows slightly, with a hint of sadness in his eyes.

"Even though there are only a few of them, it's still a bit tricky to actually fight them."

"Don't worry, Robin. Aokiji is indeed very strong, but we are no longer the same as we were two years ago."

Luffy chuckled and consoled, clasping his hands together in front of his chest and beginning to rub his fists together.

Recalling the time when Aokiji rescued Ace from the execution platform during the Battle of Marineford, he chased them alone and forced them to flee desperately.

In the end, they were able to escape thanks to the help of the Whitebeard Pirates, Little Eva, Jinbe, Hancock, Kuma and others who helped to cover their retreat and provide protection.

"No more being chased around."

Luffy raised the corner of his mouth slightly, his eyes burning as if he couldn't wait any longer.

"In that case, Luffy, Sanji, and I will deal with Aokiji. I'll leave Blackbeard to Zoro."

"Eh?"

Reiner's words made everyone look over in surprise.

Nami raised an eyebrow and looked at Reiner curiously.

He already has the strength to defeat Kaido alone and is regarded as the strongest in the world by the outside world. Why does he still want to join forces with Luffy and Sanji to deal with Aokiji?

That’s not a big deal, it sounds like it will be more reliable to deal with Aokiji, but on the other hand, let Zoro deal with Blackbeard alone?

It’s not that we doubt Zoro’s strength. Everyone firmly believes that Zoro is very strong. I just think that this distribution might be a bit unbalanced?

"Okay, I'm not a superpower user, and Blackbeard's abilities won't work against me. That's it."

There was a gleam of heat in Zoro's eyes.

When he thought about challenging the Pirate Emperor in a duel, his sword seemed to vibrate, as if he couldn't contain his excitement.

"What are you thinking? Who asked you to challenge him alone?"

Reiner rolled his eyes at him with disdain.

His words caused the others to widen their eyes in confusion again, and Usopp pointed at him with a puzzled look on his face.

"Could it be possible to let us go?"

"I'm fine! My Su-Per is strong today!"

Franky leaned forward, raised his hands above his head, and shouted excitedly.

Nami pursed her lips in fear, shaking her head and waving her hands repeatedly, her face full of rejection.

"Da mee da mee, I don't want to, absolutely not."

"Woo woo woo~~, and me too."

Usopp raised his hands, tears streaming down his face.

"I'm sorry, but I have a strange disease. If I fight the Sea Emperor, I will die."
