Chapter 264

Fujitora suddenly sheathed his sword.

"Since even you, Admiral Admiral Kuzan, have become one of their members, then my coming here this time is destined to be in vain."

"But before I leave, I ask that the members of the Beasts Pirates allow me to do one thing."

Under the astonished gazes of everyone,

Fujitora actually knelt down in the direction of the commoners and kowtowed deeply:

"Everyone, on behalf of the Navy and the World Government, I apologize for your past suffering!"

Except for Luo Xing.

Aokiji, Tashigi, King, and the Marines on the warships at sea were all greatly shaken.

This was the first time in history that a Navy Admiral-level figure had knelt to commoners and spoken words of apology!

After Fujitora finished kneeling, he stood up.

The stones under his feet flew into the sky, carrying his body into the air.

"Until we meet again, everyone."

King, in the sky, shouted:

"Do you think I will let you leave so easily!"

Luo Xing waved his hand, telling King not to pursue.

Not to mention whether King could keep Fujitora,

in reality,

letting Fujitora go was the best choice.

Because with Fujitora's sense of justice, he was destined to be the exact opposite of Akainu and the Celestial Dragons.

One day,

it was not impossible for an angry Fujitora to raise his butcher's knife against the Celestial Dragons.

Keeping Fujitora inside the Navy to cause conflict was actually a good thing.

And compared to annihilating the fleet led by Fujitora, there was a more important matter at hand.

That was the arrival of Aokiji.

Luo Xing walked toward Aokiji step by step, a gentle smile appearing on his face, and said:

"Welcome to the team that will destroy the world, Mr. Admiral Admiral Kuzan."

235. Blackbeard promoted to Four Emperors, Clown Buggy becomes a Warlord of the Sea!

Rather than saying Aokiji had joined the Beasts Pirates, it was more accurate to say that Aokiji was in a cooperative relationship with Luo Xing.

Such a top-tier powerhouse could not easily submit to any faction.

Even for the World Government or the Navy, Aokiji could leave whenever he wanted, and no one dared to stop him.

In the original work,

Aokiji's relationship with Blackbeard was likely a similar cooperation.

"Do you know where Blackbeard is now?"

Luo Xing suddenly asked Aokiji.

Aokiji was stunned.

He didn't know what the other party's intention was in bringing up Blackbeard.

Aokiji pondered for a moment and said:

"After Blackbeard was knocked into the seabed by your subordinates, Shiryu and the others, that day, he didn't die; somehow, he went to the Revolutionary Army headquarters instead."

The battle between the Blackbeard Pirates and the Revolutionary Army was the biggest news recently, second only to the Beasts Pirates conquering the North Blue.

Aokiji had, of course, heard of it.

"I heard that Blackbeard is using the Revolutionary Army headquarters, Baltigo, as a base and is recruiting troops; his ambition is clearly not small."

Aokiji was right.

Blackbeard's ambition had never been small.

Although because of Luo Xing, he hadn't gained anything, despite being the one who should have benefited the most from the Summit War.

But Blackbeard's ambition did not die.

He still wanted to accomplish something big.

It seemed that after getting away from Luo Xing, Blackbeard's luck had turned around.

Burgess had hit the jackpot and happened to run into the Revolutionary Army headquarters.

The Revolutionary Army headquarters, Baltigo, was one of the most secretive islands in the world.

Even the World Government had searched for so many years without being able to find the specific location of this island.

And even more fortunately,

Dragon, the leader of the Revolutionary Army, who had the help of the Dark King Rayleigh, believed that getting Luffy back on his feet was the top priority,

and actually chose to retreat voluntarily, unwilling to fight Blackbeard to the death.

To the outside world, this looked like

Blackbeard had defeated the Revolutionary Army single-handedly and captured their headquarters!

Immediately.

Blackbeard's reputation caused a sensation worldwide.

The World Government even listed Blackbeard as the new Four Emperors to replace Whitebeard because of this!

A bounty of 2.2476 billion Berries!

The current Four Emperors landscape,

was Kaido of the Beasts, the strongest creature with the strongest Four Emperors crew, with a bounty of 4.6111 billion Berries!

The natural-born destroyer, Charlotte Charlotte Charlotte Charlotte Linlin, who was allied with the Beasts Pirates, had a bounty of 4.388 billion Berries!

Red-Haired Shanks, who had lost his first mate Beckman and whose strength had greatly decreased, had a bounty of 4.0489 billion Berries!

And finally, Marshall D. Teach, Blackbeard!

Come to think of it,

in terms of bounty amount, Luo Xing's three-billion bounty was clearly more qualified to be ranked among the Four Emperors than Blackbeard's.

But Luo Xing was the Imperial Son-in-Law of the Beasts and Kaido's son-in-law.

If the Beasts Pirates had two Four Emperors in one family, that prestige would be too terrifying.

Even if that was already the fact,

and even if the current Beasts Pirates had far more than two Four Emperors-level powerhouses,

the World Government would absolutely not admit these things,

and would never give the Beasts Pirates affirmation in terms of status!

Otherwise,

wouldn't that be boosting the enemy's morale and dampening their own?

And the World Government giving the title of Four Emperors to Blackbeard was also very cunning, with their own little calculations.

After all.

Blackbeard was 100% hostile to the Beasts Pirates.

After he ascended to the Four Emperors, the Four Emperors would no longer be a monolithic block.

The Blackbeard Pirates could help the World Government contain part of the Beasts Pirates' power.

The so-called enemy of an enemy is a friend.

The Five Elders even sent CP0 to secretly contact Blackbeard because of this.

What conditions were promised, outsiders did not know.

Only that,

the Blackbeard Pirates, entrenched in Baltigo, began to expand their power rapidly,

constantly increasing their troops.

In a short period of time,

the number of members under his command had already reached tens of thousands!

Some big pirates with considerable fame in the New World had all joined the Blackbeard Pirates.

There was no other way,

the current New World was basically the world of the Beasts Pirates and the Big Mom Pirates.
