he preferred to believe Lafitte had gotten lost and couldn’t find him, rather than accept that Lafitte had left with the Dark-Dark Fruit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What if he really got lost?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Maybe right now, Lafitte is waiting for him at the port of Jiayadao with the Dark-Dark Fruit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Besides, Lafitte had no motive at all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Blackbeard believed the secret of the Dark-Dark Fruit was known only to him; everyone else on the sea cared more about the Mythical Zoan types.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moreover, given Lafitte’s hatred for the United Kingdom, he could never betray it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Across the entire sea, only Blackbeard was willing to take up the burden of overthrowing the United Kingdom.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Who else could Lafitte possibly follow?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Go join Whitehair?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thus, Blackbeard returned to Jiayadao, torn between hope and regret.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet he found neither Lafitte nor Lu Bianyi, and even A Long and the Kidd-Kira brothers seemed to have vanished completely.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Blackbeard felt an unprecedented malice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Whether it was those around him, or Whitehair, Whitebeard, Liling… even the world itself seemed filled with deep hostility toward him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Is this the price of becoming a king?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Will he ultimately be left utterly alone?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet why had Whitehair become the World King, Barzab Seven, in just seven years, starting from nothing?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And why did Whitehair have so many powerful, fiercely loyal subordinates?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>How unjust fate was!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Suffering such a crushing blow all at once.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It made Blackbeard suddenly feel as if his life were being controlled by someone else, as if he had been living all along in a carefully woven illusion crafted by another.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Otherwise, why would Lafitte disappear?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The rain kept falling; Blackbeard stared at the empty port and burst into bitter laughter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Are you also Whitehair’s man?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The moment suspicion arose, Lafitte’s past irrational reactions now made perfect sense.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For instance, why had Lafitte despised Morgens’ sycophantic behavior toward Whitehair?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Probably because he hated that it wasn’t himself being fawned over.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Blackbeard didn’t understand: Lafitte was in the Black Crew, yet his heart belonged to Whitehair.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And nine years… nine years of friendship—couldn’t that outweigh your loyalty to Whitehair?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rage and the humiliation of betrayal by a close brother surged to his head; imagining Whitehair’s smug expression, Blackbeard’s fury overwhelmed him, his vision went black, and he collapsed on the spot.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The other crew members rushed to carry Blackbeard aboard, then looked at each other, uncertain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The captain was unconscious, the officers were all gone—no one dared make a decision on what to do next.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, doing nothing was always safe.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Doing something carried a fifty percent chance of error.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only Kobi, seeing Blackbeard unconscious, felt his eyes ignite with longing for freedom.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kobi had to treat this divine opportunity as his one and only chance—if he missed it, he would never escape this hellhole of the Black Crew.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He might not even have a next lifetime.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Recall that not long ago, Blackbeard had nearly strangled him to death.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If not for having grown accustomed to Blackbeard’s abuse over recent months, he might truly have been killed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As night fell, the Queen’s Ship lit its lanterns; Kobi, exhausted, lay in a makeshift shelter on deck.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even though he was starving, the crew hadn’t finished eating, so Kobi had no access to food.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And compared to hunger,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kobi longed more for freedom.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If he could escape the Queen’s Ship and reach the Marine outpost on Jiayadao before the crew noticed, he could break free forever.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kobi had heard rumors of Blackbeard’s claim to be a Celestial Dragon; they were the noble class of the previous era.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even the mighty Marine Admirals had to obey the Celestial Dragons’ commands.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kobi wanted to become a Celestial Dragon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then command the Admirals to capture Blackbeard and repay his torment a hundredfold, a thousandfold.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But right now, his urgent task was to flee this hellhole before Blackbeard woke up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Kid.” Several burly crewmen dumped a bucket of leftover food before Kobi: “Tonight’s bonus meal. Finish it all.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Normally, Kobi was always at their mercy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now that Blackbeard had collapsed in rage, the crew was in chaos, terrified his wrath might fall on them when he woke.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With nowhere to vent their fear, they dumped all their frustration and resentment onto Kobi—the lowest, weakest, most easily bullied member.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kobi, at the bottom of the Black Crew’s food chain, became everyone’s punching bag.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Facing a whole bucket of scraps, surrounded by watching crewmen, Kobi had no choice but to eat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even when he found stinking socks and cigar butts in the leftovers, he gritted his teeth and ignored them—only by eating could he gather strength to escape.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“That kid Kobi… looks like a dog.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Don’t insult dogs.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Dogs at least bark twice. This kid has zero manhood.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Insults and jeers rang in his ears, but Kobi acted as if he heard nothing, devouring the scraps relentlessly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This sight robbed the crew of their interest in tormenting him; each kicked Kobi once before leaving one by one.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Deep into the night, the rain poured down in torrents.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Queen’s Ship, moored at Jiayadao’s port, still glowed with lights, but the night watch crew had all retreated inside to escape the storm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kobi first stuffed straw into his soaked blanket, then crawled slowly toward the ship’s railing, using all four limbs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One step, another step, then another.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the railing drew nearer, his heartbeat quickened, pounding as if it would burst from his chest—just as he was about to escape this hellhole.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Finally, Kobi climbed onto the railing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In that moment, his longing for freedom completely overpowered his fear of Blackbeard.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If caught, he’d die—could it be worse than this?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But if he escaped, he’d be truly free.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just then, lightning cracked and thunder roared; Kobi leapt into the sea, using the pounding rain and thunder to mask his frantic swim toward shore.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After what felt like an eternity, Kobi, drenched and gasping, reached the Marine outpost, his face streaked with tears and rain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Help! Help me!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Save me, please, save me!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Marine sentry at the gate had never seen such a pitiful boy—his face bruised and swollen, his whole body covered in wounds.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Kid, don’t be afraid.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Tell Uncle what happened.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Remembering the horrors he’d endured under Blackbeard, Kobi poured out his suffering.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Marine uncle, there are human traffickers.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Uncle, I’m from the East Blue. Six months ago, I was kidnapped by a gang calling themselves the Blackbeard Club… their ship is still moored at the port.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Blackbeard?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Marine soldier’s face darkened; Blackbeard had once been a pirate with a bounty of one billion—only a Peacekeeper stationed at the outpost could handle this.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Go get the base commander at once.”\u003C\u002Fp>",1120,"2026-06-20T08:39:44.019Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","e4ab0160492f22430ccd4f4356accca56baab54f83f3e19f35587dfba81ea784","pirate-no-one-understands-conqueror-s-haki-like--chapter-452","pirate-no-one-understands-conqueror-s-haki-like--chapter-450",463,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fpirate-no-one-understands-conqueror-s-haki-like--cover.jpg"]
