Chapter 292

~6 min read 1,069 words

Blackbeard has occupied the former Revolutionary Army headquarters, Baltigo, as his base for building his power.

And Baltigo, which the World Government has searched for decades without ever discovering its exact location,

is situated in an extremely hidden place.

At least up to now, Baltigo's precise location has not been leaked.

Of course,

it is only a matter of time before it is leaked.

Because the Blackbeard Pirates, after recruiting soldiers and buying horses during this period,

have seen their forces surge to tens of thousands!

With so many pirates, how could they be managed as strictly as the highly organized Revolutionary Army?

Someone will inevitably let it slip, or even boast and actively leak information; that is highly possible.

Let that be for now.

The sole reason the Blackbeard Pirates' forces could surge so rapidly

is that large pirate crews, forced by the Beast Pirates and Big Mom Pirates to be unable to stand in From the New World,

have gone to join the Blackbeard Pirates!

The bounties of the captains of these large pirate crews are all in the hundreds of millions.

They still have ambition and are unwilling to submit to the Beast Pirates.

This has caused the Blackbeard Pirates not only to see a sudden surge in manpower but also a great increase in the number of powerful individuals.

Besides Blackbeard's original four crew members, namely Jozu, Lafitte, Fan Aoka, and Shiryu,

Blackbeard has also selected four or five powerful captains who defected to him From the New World to serve as core members of the Blackbeard Pirates.

The current Blackbeard Pirates,

aside from still lacking a Yonko commander to replace the original Shiryu's position,

already have the standard configuration of a Yonko crew!

And although they lack a Yonko commander, Blackbeard possesses the abilities of both the Dark-Dark Fruit and the Tremor-Tremor Fruit.

Moreover, Blackbeard can continue to seize Devil Fruit abilities from others to give to his subordinates.

The Blackbeard Pirates will become stronger and stronger!

It is precisely because Ma Erke deeply understands this point

that he has not been swept off his feet by the sudden surge in strength and remains calm.

"We must never underestimate that guy Teach just because he ate the Monster Cells!"

Ma Erke warned in a deep voice.

The Whitebeard Pirates' commanders, including the most violent Jozu, suddenly became much more sober.

They thought for a moment.

They realized that indeed, as Ma Erke said, lying low for a while,

gathering intelligence on Blackbeard's side, and then launching a surprise attack is the best choice.

Flower Sword Vista's muscles, even more than before, have grown larger.

Like the most perfect sculpture by an artist, each block of muscle is like a fortress wall.

As one of the world's top swordsmen, who could spar with Mihawk without falling behind during the Summit War period,

and now, with the support of Dragon-level Monster Cells,

whose aura seems even sharper than Mihawk's,

Vista, like Ma Erke, has always remained calm.

He slowly and calmly spoke:

"Teach is a bastard, but he also has some redeeming qualities."

"He endured on the Moby Dick for decades; even Old Man and we could not detect his ambition."

"We should now learn his patience, endure for a while, and hone our own strength."

"When the time is ripe, we will strike suddenly and kill the bastard Teach in one blow!"

Vista's narration gave people a familiar feeling.

Isn't this exactly the same tactic Blackbeard used after enduring for decades before suddenly striking to kill Squard?

Vista is clearly using the same method to deal with the person who used it!

To be honest,

his idea is very reasonable and feasible.

Because,

Blackbeard just defeated this group of Whitebeard Pirates remnants, scattering them in disarray and leaving them covered in dust, nearly annihilating them entirely, at Whitebeard's hometown.

When Blackbeard left, he was extremely proud and arrogant beyond measure.

How could Blackbeard possibly still take them seriously?

In Blackbeard's view,

the Whitebeard Pirates remnants, having suffered several major defeats in a row, are completely insignificant and will no longer be a threat to him.

Before dying, Whitebeard told Blackbeard

that Blackbeard's greatest weakness is arrogance and recklessness.

This is correct.

Blackbeard, who has finally obtained the Tremor-Tremor Fruit ability, is now completely arrogant and utterly conceited.

He could never imagine.

The remnants of the Whitebeard Pirates had not scattered; instead, they chose to defect to the Beasts Pirates, the Whitebeard Pirates' former enemy!

They defected to their greatest enemy, Luo Xing, who had repeatedly humiliated Blackbeard and even nearly sent him to the bottom of the sea!

Blackbeard would never know that

the remnants of the Whitebeard Pirates had already consumed the cells of a monster, their strength now vastly different from before, far beyond the level he faced that day!

Especially.

Marco, Jozu, and Vista had consumed dragon-level monster cells.

They would absolutely give Blackbeard a huge surprise!

"Clap, clap, clap~~"

Several claps of applause rang out.

It was Luo Xing clapping his hands.

Luo Xing smiled slightly and said:

"Vista, your idea is excellent. This is precisely the method to deal with someone like Blackbeard."

Luo Xing's words effectively set the tone for the Whitebeard Pirates' captains' upcoming actions.

Seeking revenge on Blackbeard right now would not be a wise plan.

The Whitebeard Pirates' captains needed to lie low for a while, waiting until Blackbeard was completely off guard,

before they suddenly appeared and struck Blackbeard with a thunderous blow!

Even Jozu, the most violent and least able to endure his hatred for Blackbeard,

took a deep breath, suppressed his impatience, and said:

"Since Marco, Vista, and my lord Luo Xing all say so, let that bastard Teach live a little longer!"

"But where should we go to cultivate next?"

The remnants of the Whitebeard Pirates were defecting only to Luo Xing, not to the Beasts Pirates, and certainly not to Kaido, who had a grudge against Whitebeard.

Therefore.

They would not stay within the Beasts Pirates' territory.

Especially since most of the Beasts Pirates' territory in the New World currently belonged to the Whitebeard Pirates,

making it even less suitable for them to stay.

Luo Xing would certainly not force anyone to do something against their will.

He had already considered this and said:

"You go to Fish-Man Island."

Fish-Man Island?

The eyes of the Whitebeard Pirates' captains immediately lit up.
