Chapter 445: You Might As Well Just Get Married

Let the great sea become free again?

How could Lingling not want the great sea to become free again, continuing to roam happily in the New World while leading the All Blue to expand its territories?

But the United Kingdom established by Barzab Seven, with its subordinate forces, is far stronger than the former World Government, even surpassing any era on this great sea.

Yet Lingling's three hundred children are still minors.

Rebelling at this moment is clearly very inappropriate.

Moreover, after a successful rebellion, who will be the King of the World: you, Blackbeard, or she, Xia Luote Lingling?

"Rebellion?" Lingling had already made her decision: "After the rebellion succeeds, who will be the King of the World? You, Blackbeard? Or the old nobility behind you?"

"And why should I, the old lady, join you?"

"Teach, why don't you follow me instead? I have quite a few people under my command."

Blackbeard, having fused three rare bloodlines and being a descendant of the Davi clan himself, is an extremely excellent tool for breeding offspring.

Lingling must secure Blackbeard no matter what.

To bear children for the Charlotte family.

"Third Aunt, since that is the case," Blackbeard tore off the cape behind him.

"Let us settle this with our hands. If you win, our Black Crew will be at your disposal; if your nephew is fortunate enough to win a single move or half a technique, you will join the Black Crew."

"How about that?!"

With extreme confidence in his own strength, Blackbeard proposed a duel to decide who would be the boss.

If he wins, the Black Crew gains a Yonko.

If he loses, he will let Lingling act as a cannon tower, attracting the attention of the United Kingdom and the Little Bai Mao, while he, Blackbeard, sits securely in the rear waiting for the opportunity.

No matter how you look at it, he has won big!

"Fine." Lingling agreed directly.

Originally, Lingling had no intention of letting Blackbeard leave; an excellent breeding tool offering himself up, how could she possibly refuse?

"Making a scene here is too loud and might attract the Navy patrol fleet; there is a deserted island nearby."

Since being utterly defeated by Kuzan eight years ago, Blackbeard had been hoping to keep a low profile, so he naturally agreed.

"No problem."

Shortly after, Lingling, Blackbeard, and Lafitte arrived at the deserted island, while the rest of the Black Crew assisted Long Bread in feeding the children and simultaneously gathering intelligence.

"Come on, Third Aunt."

"Come on, Big Nephew."

Blackbeard went all out; as flames Xiong Xiong blazed around his body, he shot up more than thirty meters, then swung his giant fist down at Lingling.

As the tallest known human in the pirate world, Lingling stands 8.8 meters tall, yet at this moment she became a midget in front of Blackbeard.

Lingling stepped on Zeus and held Napoleon.

Flowing Armament Haki covered the blade, with black-red lightning coiling around the sword, as she swung forward with all her might.

"Wai Guo—"

Suddenly, the giant sword energy shockwave slashed from Napoleon's blade collided with Blackbeard's fist at a speed too fast to cover one's ears.

Boom~

A violent explosion sent up countless clouds of dust; amidst the swirling smoke, the two figures clashed again.

Seeing this, Lafitte, floating in mid-air, could not help but look Serious: The little black fatty has become stronger again without anyone noticing.

Eight years ago, he was utterly crushed by the Navy Admiral Kuzan.

Eight years later, Blackbeard can actually fight Xia Luote Lingling, a Yonko, on equal footing.

This is not a good thing.

If the Black Crew really finds the Dark-Dark Fruit, the difficulty Lafitte would face in taking the Dark-Dark Fruit from Blackbeard and escaping with his life is unimaginable.

He must think of a way to solve this.

Actually, when he first came to the Black Crew as a spy, Seven had given Lafitte the ring that seals Conqueror's Haki, but Lafitte always felt it was unsafe.

It would be best if Blackbeard suffered serious injuries in the battle against Yonko Lingling, yet not so severe that he could not continue sailing to search for the Dark-Dark Fruit.

What on earth should be done?!

Lafitte instantly launched a storm of thoughts in his mind.

And on the deserted island, the battle between Blackbeard and Lingling continued as they fought for control of the cooperation.

After all, it had been nine years since she last fought, spending most of her days feeding children, so Lingling was actually a bit rusty at the moment.

But Blackbeard fought with increasing courage, as if the Lunarian, Ancient Giant, and Bakania bloodlines within him were all boiling.

"Third Aunt, just yield to your nephew."

"Bastard." Lingling gritted her teeth, her hair standing on end in rage.

"Prometheus!!!"

"Coming, Mother."

Prometheus is one of the three special Homies created by Lingling from fragments of her own soul, with the ability to control fire.

Lingling was clearly so angry she lost her head, forgetting that the Lunarian clan also possesses the ability to control fire, and indeed are the kings of fire.

The sky-filling flames descending from Prometheus instead made the flames on Blackbeard's body burn even more fiercely.

"Zehahaha... Pfft!"

Just as Blackbeard opened his mouth to laugh wildly, a sudden heaviness struck his chest, the taste of blood instantly rushing to his throat, followed by him spitting out a huge mouthful of fresh blood.

The Bakania bloodline, fused halfway, caused trouble at the critical moment, preventing Blackbeard from continuing to perfectly control the power of the other two bloodlines.

Seeing this, Lingling's eyes lit up.

As the saying goes, strike while the iron is hot; although Lingling did not plan to kill Blackbeard directly, she still intended to give him a lesson he would never forget in his life.

To prevent any dishonesty in the future.

And the birth of thoughts that should not exist.

"Tenka Dai Jizai Tenjin—"

Charlotte Lingling manipulated the thunder cloud Zeus to launch indiscriminate bombardment at Blackbeard, then raised her fists wrapped in Conqueror's Haki and smashed them into Blackbeard's face.

One punch, another, and yet another.

Every punch landed squarely on his face, denting Blackbeard's fat cheeks while making him recall the miserable memory of being brutally beaten by Kuzan eight years ago.

Vegapunk, you have doomed me.

Blackbeard's abnormal body could normally control three different lineage powers, but because the Barakania clan lineage fusion was incomplete, it failed at the critical moment.

Even as Blackbeard was about to be defeated, he still smiled bitterly and opened his blood-stained mouth.

"The King of the World is mine."

Seeing Blackbeard still stubborn, Charlotte Lingling immediately sneered, "The King of the World is mine, mine!"

"Mine, it is mine."

"Mine, it is mine."

As the saying goes, without madness, there is no survival.

Whether it was Blackbeard or Charlotte Lingling, standing at the turning point between old and new eras, they not only failed to adapt to the times but were instead firmly shackled by the obsession of becoming King of the World, deeply trapped in the mire of desire and ambition with no way out.

Watching the two quarrel like children, neither willing to yield to the other.

At this moment, Lafitte suddenly spoke up.

"You two might as well get married."

Upon hearing this, both Blackbeard and Charlotte Lingling immediately had their full attention drawn; the two even looked at Lafitte simultaneously, waiting for what came next.

Lafitte silently stepped back two paces and explained.

"Marriage... makes us one family, so we can all charge together toward the throne of the King of the World."

No way, no way.

I was just casually complaining, and you two... are you really planning to get married like this?!

If the Captain found out, he'd probably laugh himself to death.
