At my age, even drinking cold water makes me gain weight.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In truth, Blackbeard suspected his abnormal weight gain: it was likely due to only partially integrating the Baccania bloodline, causing bloating.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But he had no way to fix it for now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He could only hope that, after capturing Vegapunk in the future, he could solve this problem.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Brother A-Long, this is Lafitte—you’ve met before. This is the ship’s intern, Kid, a Paramecia-type Island-Island Fruit user.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After brief greetings, Blackbeard handed A-Long over to Lafitte’s care and went aboard another unremarkable merchant ship.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Inside the cabin lay the intelligence he had long sought.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Director Fozz F, I’m David D. Tich, owner of the Blackbeard Club.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The founding of the United Kingdom was, for Blackbeard, the best thing: as long as you don’t break the law, you can sail freely across the Four Seas.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even descendants of the David clan were treated equally under the United Kingdom.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But if you break the law, sorry—you’re either executed, imprisoned in the underwater dungeon of Impel Down, or sent to a mine for forced labor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Precisely because of this, over the years Blackbeard had traveled the Four Seas under the guise of a merchant, always using the name David D. Tich.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Ah, it’s you,” Fozz F said, legs crossed, sizing up the black, fat Blackbeard before him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I know you—you once helped us defend Hive Island alongside Minister Marco.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this, Blackbeard felt a pang: Marco, once his comrade in the Whitebeard Crew, was now a powerful deputy minister of the United Kingdom’s Health Force.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And he, Blackbeard, was merely a merchant—a merchant who bore a slight resemblance to a Peacekeeper.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Due to his weight gain, the Peacekeeper built ten years ago based on Blackbeard’s old appearance now only vaguely resembled him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“That’s correct.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fozz F said nothing more, his gaze dull as he changed the subject: “Speak up, Brother Tich—what do you want to know?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing this, Blackbeard confirmed: Fozz F was indeed a marginal figure of the Morning Star Guild—otherwise, he wouldn’t be this broken.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moreover, with Little White Hair’s wedding approaching, Fozz F, a Morning Star Guild member, hadn’t returned to the Holy Land for the ceremony—enough to tell everything.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It’s like this,” Blackbeard paused.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Director, you know my David clan holds a blood feud with the World Government. Though the Five Elders were executed by the United Kingdom, I still can’t find peace.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“All these years, I’ve wanted to know: are there any other Celestial Dragons still alive?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Celestial Dragons?” Fozz F stroked his chin, his sharp gaze fixed on Blackbeard.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The whereabouts of the Celestial Dragons come at another price. Those twenty billion were just my appearance fee.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing this, Blackbeard nearly wanted to kill Fozz F on the spot—twenty billion for an appearance fee? Do you think you’re Little White Hair?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet, as Blackbeard thought of how deeply corrupt the United Kingdom had become, a strange excitement stirred within him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Corruption is good—better if everyone is corrupt.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Otherwise, how could he overthrow the United Kingdom and restore freedom to this sea?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Then… what’s your price?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fozz F held up one hand: “Five billion—I’ll tell you all the Celestial Dragons’ whereabouts. Ten billion—I’ll add one valuable piece of information.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Blackbeard clenched his fist silently, wanting to punch Fozz F’s head clean off.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet, in the end, he nodded silently.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Fine. Ten billion it is.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fortunately, with support from the old aristocracy alliance and profits from the Blackbeard Club’s trade, Blackbeard had at least thirty billion in liquid funds.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With that, he pulled a file folder from his carry-on bag.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Director, these are eighty billion in bearer bonds from the Sabaody Merchants’ Guild. The remaining twenty billion will be paid upon completion.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Good boy,” Fozz F grinned, taking the folder and opening it, inspecting it like a demon obsessed with wealth for over ten minutes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This scene reassured Blackbeard further.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was a discarded outcast from Impel Down, utterly resigned, scheming only to squeeze out money.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“There aren’t many surviving Celestial Dragons. One is Shamm Luoke , brother of Red-Hair Shanks—he now serves as Head of Security for Lord Seven.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Manmayya Junchu currently works at the Holy Land Library.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Elaine Saint is now employed in the Engineering Department.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Besides that, there’s a Celestial Dragon lost in the Satsuruso Province of the East Blue—just ten years old, named Kobi, with pink hair.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“That’s all I know.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Blackbeard nodded: if Fozz F had named dozens, he’d have suspected deception.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, Fozz F was merely an ordinary member of the Morning Star Guild—not even a cadre.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once this matter was settled, he must personally travel to the East Blue and kidnap this Celestial Dragon named Kobi, keeping him close to torment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Since you paid ten billion.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fozz F lowered his voice: “I’ll tell you one more secret—the former World King, Im, never died. He was sent by the Captain seventeen years into the future…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mid-sentence, Fozz F let out a hollow laugh.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It’s already been nine years… eight years from now, the former World King will return.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fozz F portrayed the weary, marginalized, and ostracized demeanor of a failed bureaucrat with uncanny precision.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Blackbeard stared, stunned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Eight years from now… the former World King returns?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Why send him seventeen years into the future?” Blackbeard asked quickly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fozz F shrugged.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Don’t get greedy, Brother Tich—this secret comes at another price.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing this, Blackbeard pulled out another Sabaody Merchants’ Guild bond.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Director, here’s another twenty billion.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fozz F happily took the bond: Of course—I’m the Captain’s favorite. He always thinks of me for these good assignments.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Because Lord Seven isn’t confident he can defeat the former World King, so he sent him seventeen years ahead. Now there are only eight years left.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Brother Tich, listen to me.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Enjoy life while you can—eight years from now, the world will be in chaos again.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“No need to see me off.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fozz F, clutching ten billion Berries, set sail toward Impel Down, preparing to use its teleportation array to reach the Holy Land for the Captain’s wedding.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Left alone, Blackbeard’s breathing grew rapid, until he could no longer contain himself—he threw his head back and roared with laughter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hehehehehe!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Here was his chance!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In these eight years, he would find the Dark-Dark Fruit at all costs—otherwise, he wouldn’t even have the qualification to ally with the former World King, Im.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Blackbeard returned to the Queen Ship, brimming with ambition.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing this, Lafitte pursed his lips.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He knew: after all these years, ordinary motivation no longer worked on Blackbeard—only outside-the-box tactics did.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The veteran nuclear-powered ox, Blackbeard, is now in place—will the Dark-Dark Fruit be far behind?!\u003C\u002Fp>",1187,"2026-06-20T08:39:44.019Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","98c0b4d2c4a903b78884f829ac0806dc912e5d78d367e012a5df468799172a55","pirate-no-one-understands-conqueror-s-haki-like--chapter-439","pirate-no-one-understands-conqueror-s-haki-like--chapter-437",463,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fpirate-no-one-understands-conqueror-s-haki-like--cover.jpg"]
