Chapter 276

Fujitora suddenly sheathed his blade.

"Since even Lord Kuzan has become one of your members, my coming this time is destined to be in vain."

"But before I depart, I beg the Beast Pirates to allow me to do one thing."

Amidst the astonished gazes of the crowd,

Fujitora actually knelt toward the direction of the common people and bowed deeply:

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

Except for Luo Xing.

Aokiji, Momonosuke, and the marines on the warships at sea were all greatly shaken.

This was the first time in history that an Admiral-level figure of the Marines knelt before commoners and uttered words of apology!

After Fujitora knelt, he stood up.

The stone beneath his feet flew into the sky, carrying his body and suspending him in the air.

"Until We Meet Again, everyone."

Jinbe in the sky shouted:

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

Luo Xing waved his hand, telling Jinbe not to pursue further.

Setting aside whether Jinbe could even keep Fujitora here,

in fact,

letting Fujitora go was the best choice.

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

One day,

it is not impossible for an enraged Fujitora to raise his sword against the Celestial Dragons.

Keeping Fujitora inside the Marines to stir up conflict is actually a good thing.

Moreover, compared to annihilating the fleet led by Fujitora, there is something more important at hand.

That is the arrival of Aokiji.

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

"Welcome to the team that destroys the world, Mr. Kuzan."

235. Blackbeard ascends to Emperor, and Buggy the Clown becomes one of the Seven Warlords!

Rather than saying Aokiji joined the Beast Pirates, it is more accurate to say Aokiji and Luo Xing are in a cooperative relationship.

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

Even the World Government or the Marines; Aokiji comes and goes as he pleases, and no one dares to stop him.

In the original story,

the relationship between Aokiji and Blackbeard should also be a similar cooperation.

"Do you know where Blackbeard is now?"

Luo Xing suddenly asked Aokiji.

Aokiji was stunned.

He did not know what the other party meant by bringing up Blackbeard.

Aokiji pondered for a moment and said:

"After Blackbeard was struck into the sea by Shiryu and others under your command that day, he surprisingly did not 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 Beast Pirates conquering the North Blue.

Aokiji had naturally heard of it.

"I heard that Blackbeard is using the Revolutionary Army headquarters, Baltigo, as a base to recruit soldiers and buy horses, obviously with great ambition."

What Aokiji said was correct.

Blackbeard's ambition has never been small.

Although due to Luo Xing, he, who should have benefited the most from the Summit War, got nothing at all.

But Blackbeard's ambition did not die.

He still wanted to achieve something great.

It seems that after distancing himself from Luo Xing, Blackbeard's luck turned around.

Burgess hit the jackpot, accidentally stumbling upon the Revolutionary Army headquarters.

The Revolutionary Army headquarters, Baltigo, is one of the most secret islands in the world.

Even after the World Government searched for so many years, they still could not find the specific location of this island.

And even more luckily,

Dragon, the leader of the Revolutionary Army, aided by the Dark King Lei Li, believed that getting Luffy to pull himself together was the most urgent task,

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

To the outside world,

this looked like Blackbeard defeating the Revolutionary Army single-handedly and capturing the Revolutionary Army headquarters!

Immediately,

Blackbeard's name caused a sensation worldwide.

Because of this, the World Government listed Blackbeard as the new Emperor replacing Whitebeard!

Bounty: 2 billion 247 million 60 thousand Berries!

The current Emperor landscape,

Even the strongest creature, Kaido of the Beasts who commands the mightiest Four Emperors crew, has a bounty of 4.611 billion Berries!

The natural destroyer, Big Mom Charlotte Linlin of the Shoutuanjie Alliance, has a bounty of 4.388 billion Berries!

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

And finally, Blackbeard Marshall D. Teach!

Speaking of which,

in terms of bounty amount, Luo Xing's thirty-billion bounty clearly makes him more qualified than Blackbeard to rank among the Four Emperors.

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

If the Beasts crew were to have two Four Emperors under one roof, the momentum would be too terrifying.

Even though the fact is already so,

and even now the Beasts crew has not just two Four Emperor-level powerhouses,

the World Government will absolutely not acknowledge these things,

nor will it grant the Beasts crew recognition in name!

Otherwise,

wouldn't that be boosting the enemy's morale while lowering one's own spirit?

And the World Government giving the title of Four Emperor to Blackbeard is also cunning, with its own small calculations.

After all,

Blackbeard is one hundred percent hostile to the Beasts crew.

After ascending to the Four Emperors, the Four Emperors are no longer a solid block.

The Blackbeard Pirates can help the World Government restrain part of the Beasts crew's strength.

The enemy of my enemy is my friend.

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

What conditions were promised is unknown to outsiders.

It is only known that,

the Blackbeard Pirates, stationed in Baladiago, began to expand their power rapidly,

constantly increasing their manpower.

In a short time,

the number of members under their command had already reached over ten thousand!

Some famous pirates in the New World with considerable reputation joined the Blackbeard Pirates.

There was no choice,

for now the New World is basically the domain of the Beasts crew and the Big Mom crew.
