Chapter 313: The Enemy of My Enemy Is My Friend

East Sea, Loguetown Port.

Blackbeard, having undergone layers of disguise, dared to disembark to test his luck, hoping to find decent crew members in Loguetown.

However, not long after getting off the ship, Blackbeard suddenly heard people discussing him.

"Did you hear? The pirate with a billion-berry bounty, Blackbeard, only cries and whines; he's not a man at all."

"I heard that recently, when the Four Emperors caused chaos at the Marine Headquarters, it was to save Blackbeard, but Blackbeard just hugged Whitebeard's leg and kept shouting 'Pops'."

"Really?"

"A pirate with a billion-berry bounty, and this is all he's worth?"

"Go check the latest News Coo; it has on-site photos, reportedly provided by a kind-hearted Marine."

Blackbeard's face was so gloomy it could squeeze out water.

If not for the crowded port with many eyes, he would have absolutely slaughtered these people, but since he is still wanted by the Marines, it is truly inappropriate to cause trouble.

But when Blackbeard bought the News Coo and took a look, the whole person suddenly felt terrible.

On the front page was displayed: unmistakably a photo of him hugging Whitebeard's leg, crying with snot and tears streaming down.

At this very moment, Blackbeard had already sentenced that bird-man Morgans to death in his heart.

At first, Blackbeard couldn't figure out why Morgans would publish such an irrelevant photo.

But when he thought of—

After the Four Emperors caused chaos at the Marine Headquarters, for nearly two months, no major news had occurred on the seas; even Kaido kidnapping people in the East Sea made the front page headlines.

Blackbeard suddenly understood.

Morgans, unable to find major news and thus unable to boost News Coo sales, had turned to selling gossip instead.

But Morgans should never, ever have used Blackbeard's humiliating experiences from his humble beginnings as a means to boost News Coo sales.

This grudge, Blackbeard has noted it down first.

One day, he will take Morgans' bird head off and kick it like a soccer ball.

Just as he was preparing to stay at a hotel in Loguetown, Blackbeard suddenly saw a promotional poster at the hotel front desk.

"Even Saint Saint Saint Saiwen says it's good after staying here."

Blackbeard couldn't help but mutter in his heart: These merchants are so realistic; even a hotel where Little Bai Mao stayed five years ago can become a promotional selling point.

During the Battle of New Marineford, Blackbeard had even thought about simply joining the Morning Star Group.

But thinking of how Little Bai Mao had stolen and hidden his teeth, and how arrogant he was after Blackbeard reported him, Blackbeard felt his anger boiling up.

The humiliation brought upon him by the trio of Little Bai Mao, Red Nose, and Red Hair, he will definitely get back at every single one of them.

Even if he is not Little Bai Mao's match right now, a man who asks for nothing is equal to anyone!

As long as he has no demands on Little Bai Mao, Little Bai Mao in his heart is just a detestable thief.

A thief who stole his teeth!

Blackbeard began wandering around Loguetown, even deliberately lingering for a long time in front of the execution platform.

Thinking of how Little Bai Mao, back then in the crowd, looked on helplessly at Luo Jie's public execution with a desperate expression, the curve of Blackbeard's smile became even more unrestrained.

Thieves, hahaha~

Loguetown is a good place; Blackbeard's gloomy mood, caused by his unbearable experiences becoming a laughingstock on the seas, inexplicably improved.

However.

When Blackbeard arrived in front of Saint Saint Saiwen's Bar (formerly Luo Jie's Bar) and saw the huge sign on the entrance, his good mood instantly vanished by half.

"Even Saint Saint Saint Saiwen says it's good after drinking here."

"One minute to make Saint Saint Saint Saiwen fall in love with drinking."

Blackbeard felt the world must have gone mad; no matter where he went, he couldn't escape the shadow left by Little Bai Mao.

Because of Little Bai Mao, after playing house in the Whitebeard Pirates for many years, Blackbeard finally made the firm decision to leave the Whitebeard Pirates and set sail again.

At New Marineford, the Four Emperors and Marine high command, who were originally in a fierce battle, stopped fighting because of a casual remark from Little Bai Mao: "Give me some face."

Whitebeard dreamed of adopting Little Bai Mao as his son.

Even the unyielding Golden Lion, Kaido, and Big Mom had to give Little Bai Mao face.

Having finally left the New World and arrived in Loguetown, the result was that both the hotel entrance and the bar entrance were covered with stories about Little Bai Mao.

Detestable!!!

Little Bai Mao, hailing from the East Sea, is revered by all East Sea people, but why can't the one being revered be him, Blackbeard!

Blackbeard roared wildly in his heart.

He felt that the script of his life had been snatched away along with the teeth stolen by Little Bai Mao.

Blackbeard felt he was going crazy.

On one side, the blood feud of the Davey family remains unavenged; on the other, a former weakling thief has reached the pinnacle of the seas as the strongest, while he is caught in the middle, suffering greatly.

Closing his eyes, he sees only Little Bai Mao's detestable face; opening his eyes, no matter where he is, there is Little Bai Mao's shadow.

From this, it is not hard to see just how terrifying Little Bai Mao's influence on the seas has become.

World Noble Saint Saint Saint Saiwen, Leader of the Morning Star Group, Raiden Shogun of Inazuma, and behind him, the remnants of the former Luo Jie Pirates...

Blackbeard left Loguetown without looking back, preparing to head to Reverse Mountain via a merchant ship he had seized.

The East Sea cannot be stayed in.

If he continues to stay, he will absolutely go mad; it would be better to return to the West Sea and take another look.

Just arriving at the port, Blackbeard was suddenly attracted by a madman, simply because that person, even while being beaten by several people, was still furiously cursing Little Bai Mao.

"Barzab Saint Saint Saiwen killed my teammates! What's wrong with me cursing him a couple of times?!"

Interesting, Blackbeard's smile curved upward.

But he did not act immediately; instead, he prepared to continue observing for a while.

"Saint Saint Saint Saiwen is the pride of the East Sea."

"Aren't you also a lackey of the World Government?"

The man being beaten was none other than Lu Bianyi, who still lived in regret and had wasted many years in Loguetown.

Even though beaten until his face was bruised and swollen, Lu Bianyi was crying and laughing, with snot, saliva, and blood mixed on his face.

"Saint Saint Saint Saiwen? Hahahaha?"

"Once a pirate, always a pirate; Barzab will always be a pirate."

"As a former agent of the World Government, what's wrong with me cursing a pirate? He killed ten of my brothers! Can't I even curse him twice?"

Hearing this, Blackbeard decided to act.

"Stop!"

"I am a Marine from the Loguetown Branch. This man insulted the World Nobles, the Celestial Dragons. I will throw this man into the Marine prison to await judgment."

Due to experiences of being blocked by Akainu in the West Sea, blocked by Kizaru in the South Sea, and blocked by Aokiji in the North Sea, Blackbeard was much more cautious than when he first set sail.

Thus, using the name of the Marines, he took Lu Bianyi onto the ship and quickly raised the sails to depart from Loguetown.

Even though covered in wounds and panting heavily, Lu Bianyi did not forget to make a snide remark: "A guy like you actually pretending to be a Marine."

Blackbeard's eyes lit up: "You know me?"

"Are you very famous?"

Blackbeard's eyes dimmed slightly; just now he thought the name Blackbeard was known to everyone, but he never expected it was only because the other party saw he did not look like a Marine.

"Who I am is not important."

"What is important is that you have a grudge against Barzab, and I also have a grudge against Barzab."

Lu Bianyi narrowed his eyes slightly: "The enemy of my enemy is a friend; I, Lu Bianyi, accept you as a friend!"

Blackbeard removed the mask on his face.

"Thief hahahaha~ Brother Lu Bianyi, welcome to the Blackbeard Pirates!"
