Chapter 199

Blackbeard truly could not accept it.

In his eyes flashed extreme darkness and murderous intent, his fists clenched tightly.

He stared tightly at Luo Xing, seeming to wait for Luo Xing to reveal some flaw, then launch a sudden surprise attack and kill Luo Xing in one strike!

That way, all matters would be resolved effortlessly.

Everything would once again become Blackbeard's home ground.

But in the end, he found no opportunity whatsoever.

That man, though appearing utterly careless, had no weakness anywhere in his body.

Besides the weaknesses of rashness and arrogance, Blackbeard's physical techniques and Observation Haki perception were actually quite formidable.

Otherwise, he could not have scratched Shanks the Red's eye without a Devil Fruit ability.

Moreover, Blackbeard never sleeps; in terms of training time, he is twice that of an ordinary person.

So,

he could roughly sense the domineering aura emanating from Luo Xing; this was a fellow who, like Shanks the Red, excelled in Conqueror's Haki, primarily cultivating Haki "120".

To be honest,

Blackbeard found this type of strong person the most troublesome.

Because the Dark-Dark Fruit can nullify a user's ability, but this type of strong person simply does not rely on Devil Fruits.

Furthermore, their powerful Armament Haki greatly counters Natural-type Devil Fruits.

Overall, Blackbeard predicted that facing Luo Xing now, his chances of victory were truly not very great.

Moreover,

by Luo Xing's side were Zoro and Enel, two strong men capable of challenging the Four Emperors' admirals.

Oh, now Rainy Shiryu had been added as well.

Besides, Luo Xing's various heaven-defying inventions need not be mentioned further.

Having figured these things out, after intense inner struggle, Blackbeard made the same decision as in Alabasta.

"Minions, let's go!"

Having said that,

he walked out of Impel Down with a gloomy face.

Burgess called out from behind:

"Captain, are we just leaving like this? Damn it, I really can't accept it! Why not fight that guy?"

Blackbeard, already suppressing depression and anger, immediately flew into a rage upon hearing this and cursed:

"If you think you can win, go ahead and fight! I'll wait here for your good news!"

Burgess immediately shrank his neck and backed down.

Although he had not seen Luo Xing act just now, he had witnessed Zoro and Enel's battle with his own eyes.

Just these two, Burgess had not the slightest confidence he could defeat.

The navigator Lafitte, who was relatively intelligent, sighed and said:

"The chances of victory are indeed too small; leaving is unavoidable, and we must leave early."

"Otherwise, once Fifth Emperor Luo Xing and the others finish off Magellan, we will be in danger next!"

Although Blackbeard had been thinking whether or not to attack Luo Xing.

The reality was that after Luo Xing dealt with Magellan, he would very likely attack Blackbeard.

Fifth Emperor Luo Xing, that man is a decisive and utterly merciless ruthless person!

Precisely because Blackbeard knew this, he fled early before Magellan was finished off.

Although this was the best choice, it was undeniably too frustrating.

Compared to the high spirits upon arrival, the Blackbeard Pirates were now undoubtedly extremely depressed.

Blackbeard could only suppress his anger.

He could not let such a depressed atmosphere spread through the ranks.

Otherwise, what great deeds could be accomplished in the future?

Blackbeard forced an ugly smile onto his face and raised his arm, shouting:

"Minions, Impel Down is merely a small part of my plan; losing it is completely irrelevant!"

"The biggest prize is the Summit War, the Tremor-Tremor Fruit of Whitebeard!"

"As long as I obtain the ability of the Tremor-Tremor Fruit, I can instantly become the strongest in the world!"

"Then, we can settle the score with Fifth Emperor Luo Xing and even Beasts Kaido!"

The Blackbeard members' spirits rose slightly then.

They had just arrived at Impel Down from Marineford, and not long after, they were slinking back again.

Luo Xing glanced in the direction Blackbeard and the others had left:

"They ran quite fast."

If Blackbeard had stayed here, Luo Xing indeed had plans to eliminate Blackbeard as well.

Although the special nature of the Dark-Dark Fruit might not guarantee successful elimination.

After all, the Dark-Dark Fruit should correspond to the Sun God Nika Fruit, and both likely possess certain extremely special abilities.

If there is an opportunity, it would truly be worth a try.

While pondering this, Luo Xing said to Zoro, Enel, and the newly submitted Rainy Shiryu:

"The three of you attack together and finish off Magellan."

Although Magellan was strong, facing the siege of three powerful men, he quickly fell into a precarious situation.

But he still refused to yield, continuously roaring in fury.

He even activated the awakened ability of the Poison-Poison Fruit, turning the entire Fourth Floor of the City into a sea of poison.

"What a troublesome ability."

Luo Xing couldn't help but sigh.

It would have been ideal if he could have brought Magellan under his command, but that was impossible.

Faced with Magellan's sea of poison, Zoro, Enel, and Shiliew also found themselves deeply troubled, with barely a foothold left.

Fortunately,

Luo Xing still had seven or eight of the ten Super Giants he had summoned with the King of Biceps.

Luo Xing ordered all the Giants to swing their fists together and strike Magellan's sea of poison.

Boom!!

A colossal collision rang out, and the sea of poison churned into violent waves.

Immediately, the floor of the Fourth Floor collapsed, and the battlefield shifted to the Fifth Floor.

Meanwhile, the prisoners on the Fourth and Fifth Floors had witnessed this terrifying battle.

They trembled with fear, their faces pale.

They feared being struck by poison, lightning, or sword qi.

And as Luo Xing asked them in a benevolent tone whether they wished to join the Beasts Pirates,

these prisoners, quick to read the situation, knelt down and shouted:

"We surrender to my lord! We pledge loyalty to the Beasts Pirates!"

Of course, a few reckless fools refused to kneel.

Their fate, of course, was to be torn apart by the other prisoners who had surrendered.

Luo Xing successfully subdued the prisoners of the Third Floor, Fourth Floor, and Fifth Floor of the City, expanding his forces to over a thousand.

Though the number seemed small, each one was a formidable fighter—none were weak.

Their original strength had already exceeded fifty million in bounties; after consuming the Strange Cells Luo Xing had granted them, their power doubled.

Roughly estimated,

six or seven hundred had reached a bounty of over one hundred million, two or three hundred hovered around three hundred million, and a dozen or so reached the five-hundred-million level.

This terrifying combat force alone could rival a Yonko crew!

And this didn't even include the monsters on the Sixth Floor of the City.

Luo Xing gazed approvingly at his subordinates.

With these men and Moria's zombie army, capturing Sabaody would be no problem at all.

Luo Xing suddenly realized he had not spotted a single red-nosed man among them.
