Chapter 245

He was rescued.

But unfortunately, a storm suddenly came at that time, and Burgess was washed away by the surging waves.

He hadn't been found yet.

Thinking of Burgess, who was still missing, Blackbeard was even more furious and cursed incessantly.

He had never been so humiliated and frustrated before!

"Captain, what should we do next?"

The navigator Laffitte sighed, looking worried:

"The territory of Whitebeard in the New World that we originally planned to occupy has been seized by the Beasts Pirates and the Big Mom Pirates; we have nowhere to go now."

Blackbeard’s face was as dark as a pot, and he really wanted to curse.

But looking at his low-morale subordinates, he still forced a smile:

"If you survive a disaster, there must be a blessing. The New World doesn't only have Whitebeard’s territory; we can just seize other territories."

Speaking of blessings, the blessing really arrived.

Just as Blackbeard finished speaking, the Den Den Mushi rang.

Looking at the style, it was clearly the missing Burgess’s.

Blackbeard was overjoyed and picked up the Den Den Mushi:

"Burgess, are you okay? That’s great!"

Burgess, however, lowered his voice and said in an excited tone:

"Captain, after I was washed away by the waves, I encountered a ship and crawled under its hull."

"Now, this ship has actually arrived at the Revolutionary Army’s headquarters, Baltigo!"

216. Blackbeard Sneak-Attacks the Revolutionary Army Headquarters, Conversation Between Dragon and Rayleigh

Revolutionary Army headquarters?

Blackbeard’s eyes lit up instantly.

He was worried about having nowhere to go; sneak-attacking the Revolutionary Army and occupying Baltigo as his headquarters was a good idea.

Blackbeard did as he said, stood up immediately, and said excitedly to Burgess:

"You stay there and lurk; I’ll come to support you right away!"

Hanging up the phone, Blackbeard gathered his spirits and laughed wickedly:

"Ze-hahaha! God is finally on my side this time; destroying the Revolutionary Army will surely make my name shake!"

"The World Government and the Beasts Pirates are competing for hegemony over the four seas; I’ll just occupy Baltigo and use this opportunity to accumulate strength!"

"Little ones, set off with me to the Revolutionary Army headquarters!"

Blackbeard rushed on his way excitedly.

It only took half a day to arrive at the outskirts of Baltigo.

Burgess was waiting there for him.

Burgess said:

"Captain, I just scouted around; the Revolutionary Army doesn't have many troops on this island, but there are a few tricky characters."

"Oh, who are they?" Blackbeard asked.

"One is the man called the world’s most dangerous criminal by the World Government, the revolutionary Monkey D. Dragon."

"The other is the Dark King Rayleigh!"

Blackbeard wasn't surprised that Monkey D. Dragon was on Baltigo.

After all, he was the leader of the Revolutionary Army.

But the legendary right-hand man of the Pirate King, the Dark King Rayleigh, was actually on this island, which really shocked Blackbeard.

Blackbeard had seen Rayleigh decades ago.

That was not long after he had just joined the Whitebeard Pirates.

The Whitebeard Pirates met the Roger Pirates on a certain island, and a great battle broke out.

At that time, the Dark King Rayleigh possessed terrifying power.

However, he was old and frail now; his strength must have dropped quite a bit.

Blackbeard’s expression was gloomy and uncertain.

The Dark King Rayleigh being here was beyond his expectations.

But he still didn't give up his plan to occupy Baltigo.

Because he really had nowhere else better to go.

Whitebeard’s territory in the New World had been seized by the Beasts Pirates and the Big Mom Pirates, and he could hardly take it back no matter what.

Rather than facing two Yonko, Kaido and Big Mom, plus the Fifth Emperor Luo Xing and those terrifying guys under him,

It was better to have a fight with the Revolutionary Army and the Dark King Rayleigh now!

The enemy was in the light, and he was in the dark; he had the advantage of a sneak attack, and the chance of success was still quite high.

Blackbeard wasn't a hesitant person; he had to make a decision now.

Otherwise, drifting on the sea like this all the time, without even his own territory, his prestige in the eyes of Burgess, Laffitte, and the others would probably be gone.

By then,

The Blackbeard Pirates might even be at risk of falling apart!

Damn it, let’s do it!

Blackbeard made up his mind and said fiercely:

"So what if there are these legendary figures? The future is my era; let’s go, little ones, wipe out these revolutionaries!"

Thus.

The Blackbeard Pirates launched a surprise attack on the Revolutionary Army.

The entire Baltigo was plunged into chaos.

At the same time, in Dragon’s office.

Dragon, Staff Staff Sabo, Ivankov, and other cadres of the Revolutionary Army were talking to the Dark King Rayleigh.

Rayleigh had only arrived here not long ago.

Rayleigh looked at the straw-hat Luffy, who had woken up but was still in a state of grief and emptiness due to Ace’s death, and sighed:

"I came here to teach Luffy to cultivate."

Dragon said gratefully:

"It is my son’s honor to have the Dark King senior come here from thousands of miles away."

Rayleigh sighed even more heavily:

"Actually, I have nowhere else to go; the Sabaody Archipelago was occupied by the Fifth Emperor Luo Xing, so I can be considered driven out."

Mentioning the name of the Fifth Emperor Luo Xing, Dragon’s expression also became extremely solemn.

"That man is now launching a war in the North Blue again; his technological means have greatly increased the number of Germa clones, and he has used monster cells to enhance the strength of the clones."

"He is invincible in the North Blue, and no one can stop him!"

"Right now, most of the North Blue has fallen into his hands!"

Rayleigh frowned and said:

"The world has entered unprecedented chaos; the appearance of that man has greatly changed the original era’s progression."

"Perhaps, as Whitebeard said before he died, the new era no longer has a ship that can carry old remnants like me..."

Rayleigh couldn't help but feel sad.

The older generation of figures were all dying one by one.

Only he was still alive in this world.

And he had a mission to carry!

Rayleigh turned to a very solemn tone and said:

"Mr. Dragon, I will stay with the Revolutionary Army from now on and teach Luffy to cultivate with all my might."

"Although the era is developing in an unknown direction, I have always firmly believed that Roger’s successor, the final Joy Boy who will change this world, is Luffy!"

Dragon also firmly believed this.

Not only because Luffy was his son, but also because Luffy had eaten that Hito Hito no Mi, Mythical Zoan, Nika model...

This Devil Fruit had its own will; it would actively seek its master.

Dragon once thought that he, who led the Revolutionary Army, was the one who would change the world.
