He could only watch in silence as Ace jumped off the Moby Dick and boarded his small boat.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>The next day, news of the Whitebeard Pirates' internal strife had spread across the sea via newspapers.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>New World, Red Hair Pirates.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Looking at the content in the newspaper, Shanks inexplicably felt the claw marks on his eye throbbing.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Teach...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>He had known that man since he was an apprentice on Roger's ship. He didn't need to sleep, his willpower was firm, and his martial arts skills were solid...\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Most importantly, his name, Move Move Like Captain Roger's, contained the 'D'.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Yet, a man Move Move Like that had remained obscure for over twenty years, not even having a bounty, and now, on Whitebeard's ship, he had committed the act of killing a companion.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Shanks? What's wrong? You seem a bit different.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Shanks revealed a smile: \"No, it's just that I have an inexplicable feeling that the sea is about to become chaotic.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Haha, when has the sea ever not been chaotic? As long as that guy Karl doesn't come looking for trouble, we'll be fine.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Beckman was speaking the truth. Ever since Karl became a Marine Hero, he seemed to have taken over Garp's heavy responsibility—hunting them down.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>If it were Garp, it wouldn't actually matter; although he was hard to fight, they could at least run. But this guy Karl was different. You couldn't leave without \"beating him to death,\" and the key was that this thing couldn't be beaten to death!\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Every time they had to gather everyone's strength to repel him, but a few days later, this guy would come back again, chasing them around. It was very annoying.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Shanks couldn't help but nod, feeling the same way.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Grand Line, Paradise, the lawless zone on the edge of the Sabaody Archipelago.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Teach, who had just fled from the New World, looked around vigilantly. After confirming no one was there, he took out the anti-eavesdropping Den Den Mushi given to him by the mysterious person.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Did you see the newspaper? I've finished what you asked me to do. Now it's time for you to fulfill your promise, right?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"I saw it. Good job. Where are you now?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"The lawless zone of the Sabaody Archipelago.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Karl was silent for a moment. Teach had actually run to Paradise. How should he put it? It was unexpected but within reason.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Alright, come to Island 43. At the top of the Yarukiman Mangrove on Island 43, the thing you want is there.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Good, I'm coming right now!!!\" After saying this, Teach hung up the phone immediately and rushed toward Island 43 without stopping.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Karl, far away on the Sky Island, threw the Den Den Mushi into the sea of clouds, and then his whole body erupted with dazzling golden light—the kind that was even more dazzling than Shining Tiga.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>The next second, a flash of golden light, and Karl disappeared from the spot instantly. Two minutes later, Karl appeared at the top of the Yarukiman Mangrove on Island 43.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>After placing the box containing the Dark-Dark Fruit on a conspicuous branch, Karl's figure flickered again, leaving the Sabaody Archipelago and heading toward Marine Headquarters.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Not long after Karl left, a panting, fat black man appeared at the base of the Yarukiman Mangrove on Island 43. He was soaking wet, looking Move Move Like he had swum and run all the way there.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Teach stared fixedly upward, suddenly revealing a look of wild joy, and jumped up, climbing toward the top of the Yarukiman Mangrove.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Zehahaha~\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Holding the Dark-Dark Fruit in his hand, Teach let out an unbridled, wild laugh. When the laughter ceased, Teach bit into the Dark-Dark Fruit without hesitation. His complexion turned visibly worse; perhaps because it was too hard to eat, Teach simply swallowed the whole thing.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Looking at the black vortex in his hand, Teach could no longer suppress his inner ambition, and his eyes looked cruelly at the bustling street below.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Having finally obtained the Dark-Dark Fruit, how could he not test it?\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>But thinking that Marine Headquarters was not far away, Teach decided to keep a low profile. It would be embarrassing if he died before achieving his goal. After all, there were too many powerhouses at Marine Headquarters, and as someone alone, it was better to be cautious.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>To be honest, Teach had already prepared to be played, but he never expected this mysterious person to actually keep his promise and really give him the Dark-Dark Fruit.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>How to put it? Teach felt he had met a noble person.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Standing at the top and blowing in the cold wind, Teach's restless heart gradually cooled down. Since the Dark-Dark Fruit was successfully obtained, the next step was to recruit crew members and establish his own pirate crew.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Where to recruit, how to recruit, and what kind of crew members to recruit—Teach already had the answers in his heart.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>But no matter what, the most important thing now was to leave the Sabaody Archipelago and make plans later.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>And if nothing went wrong, Pops should be sending people to catch him. He just didn't know who it would be.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Marshal's Office.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Karl, you're here. Have you read today's newspaper?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Karl nodded: \"I've read it. I just didn't expect Whitebeard to actually let Ace hunt down that Teach. Is that old guy not afraid that they won't find the person, and Ace will be caught by us instead?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Sengoku smiled lightly: \"What's so unexpected about that? That Teach was originally Ace's subordinate. Teach killed a companion, so logically and emotionally, it should be his commander who hunts him down. Moreover, this kid Ace is loyal and respects Newgate very much. Even if Newgate didn't let him go, this kid would probably run off to hunt Teach on his own.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"So, do I have a new mission?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Correct. According to the information I received, Newgate knows Ace's background, which is why he is cultivating him as a successor. This shows that Newgate values Ace very much.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"As long as we can catch Ace, we can use him to make a move.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>After speaking, Sengoku took off his glasses, rubbed his brow, stood up, and walked to the window. Looking at the vast Marine Headquarters, he said with emotion: \"I have fought with the Whitebeard Pirates for a lifetime. It is time to put a period to this.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Karl thought to himself, as expected, Sengoku really wanted to end it all with the Whitebeard Pirates!\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Marshal Sengoku, I understand what you mean, but has the Marine made preparations?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Sengoku turned to look at Karl: \"I have made preparations, and that is enough.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"No, Marshal Sengoku, I mean, in my opinion, the Whitebeard Pirates are not that big of a problem. The preparation I'm talking about is the preparation to welcome the next Marine Marshal.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Sengoku was silent for a long time: \"The next Marine Marshal should be chosen between Aokiji and Akainu. I favor Aokiji. Akainu... he is more suitable to be a sharp blade in the hands of the Marine.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"His philosophy cannot be realized just by becoming the Marine Marshal.\"\u003C\u002Fp>",1247,"2026-06-16T20:20:52.563Z","2026-06-17T08:56:49.806Z",1,"Gemini 3.1 Flash Lite","fccd369c8224da67c2b551756e609f4fa54546e616d334b1b33f8c9397da4c7b","one-piece-i-grow-stronger-by-slacking-off-as-a-n-chapter-208","one-piece-i-grow-stronger-by-slacking-off-as-a-n-chapter-206",397,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fone-piece-i-grow-stronger-by-slacking-off-as-a-n-cover.jpg"]
