He was nothing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Blackbeard wept, chewing the cherry pie he once loved most, he suddenly noticed time itself had frozen, as if paused by a hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Beyond the Sea-Prism Stone bars, Sachi, the remnants of the old era imprisoned in other cells, and the Den Den Mushi constantly monitoring the prison—all were frozen in place, like stone statues.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, ripples stirred across the space.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From the ripples surged dark mist, gradually coalescing into a black throne, upon which sat the figure Blackbeard had longed for—Bai Mao.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The sight left Blackbeard stunned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You ate the Dark-Dark Fruit?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yeah, I couldn’t resist.” Barzab Seven didn’t hide it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>More precisely, with the Devil Power of the Hitomi Hitomi no Mi, Mythical Zoan: Satan Form, Barzab Seven had already surpassed the limits of Devil Fruit consumption.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moreover, not only was the original source of the Satan form Devil Power, but the dark mist of the Dark-Dark Fruit was also part of Devil Power.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“How wonderful.” A strange light flickered in Blackbeard’s eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Everything I begged for twenty years and never obtained… everything I fought tooth and nail for—yet for you, it was effortless.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In truth, Blackbeard envied Barzab Seven—so much he ached.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Born with a handsome face, he carried Lunaria blood yet lacked its flaws, never exposing his identity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unlike him—black, fat, and ugly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And when Bai Mao was nine, he became a chef on Roger’s crew through sheer culinary brilliance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Back then, how did Blackbeard join the Whitebeard Crew? He knelt before Whitebeard, pounding his head against the deck until he was accepted as an intern.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After that, the gap only widened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Mao, upon setting sail, met Mihawk, Tenghu, Big Mom, Jin Ni… even the legendary pirate Golden Lion joined his ranks.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even Rafet, the most trusted lieutenant Blackbeard had gathered over years at sea, was Bai Mao’s man.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After these thoughts, Blackbeard wiped the tears from his eyes, feeling ashamed to weep before Bai Mao.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Bai Mao, I have one question for you.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Mm, go ahead. I’m listening.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Honestly, Blackbeard hated Barzab Seven’s tone—ever since childhood, it had always been as if he controlled everything.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But now, the gap in status was too vast; even if Blackbeard had ten thousand grievances, he had to swallow them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Suppose,” Blackbeard hesitated.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“If after leaving the Moby Dick, I had joined the Morning Star Crew instead… would you have taken me in?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Facing imminent public execution, Blackbeard wanted only one answer before death—a small, unimportant one, but one that might ease his heart.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One that would let him believe his failure was simply because he’d chosen wrong.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing this, Barzab Seven smiled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“No. I would’ve refused you outright.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Why?” Blackbeard couldn’t understand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“We’ve known each other since childhood. We weren’t as close as Shanks or Red Nose, and I never revealed any ambition back then—why refuse me?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Was I too weak then?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Blackbeard had assumed Bai Mao had simply looked down on him, seeing through his hidden strength.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It has nothing to do with that,” Barzab Seven paused.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“In our hometown, there’s a saying: look at a child at three, and you’ll know his whole life. From the day I met you, I knew exactly what kind of man you were.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Someone like you isn’t fit to be a friend. And if you were your father, Lo Kesi , I might consider it—but not you.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At these words, Blackbeard’s world collapsed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“So that’s… it.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The last shred of hope was crushed by Bai Mao’s own hand; Blackbeard abandoned all desire to live.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Thank you for letting me die with clarity.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The space rippled again; Barzab Seven looked at Blackbeard, as if bidding farewell.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Is there anything you want me to tell Lo Kesi ?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Blackbeard stood frozen, utterly confused by the words.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I need to return to the past for a moment—I’ll likely encounter Lo Kesi . If you have any message for him, I’ll deliver it.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Blackbeard finally understood: Bai Mao could travel through time—and would meet his living father, Lo Kesi .\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“To lose to someone like you… I don’t regret it.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Tell my father… the Dai Wei bloodline has an heir.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Goodbye, Tichi.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With that, Barzab Seven vanished from Blackbeard’s sight, and time resumed as if nothing had happened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone else, except Blackbeard, remained unaware that time had been paused—this realization brought him slight comfort.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To lose to a foe like Bai Mao—inhuman, almost divine—was truly, truly, truly no shame.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Father, mother, I’ll soon be with you.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>We’ll never be apart again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When Blackbeard pulled his wandering thoughts back, he saw the mist in Sachi’s eyes, and his heart warmed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Sachi, thank you for coming. Go back now—someone might see you and it’ll cause trouble.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Blackbeard sincerely, from the depths of his soul, thanked Sachi for coming—making his failed life end not so lonely.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Tichi, after I bury you tomorrow…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Blackbeard slowly shook his head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Sachi, cremate my body and scatter my ashes into the West Sea. I miss home.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After years away, he could finally return home, finally reunite with his father and mother, with a true brother seeing him off—Blackbeard suddenly realized his life had been quite remarkable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At least… it wasn’t in vain.\u003C\u002Fp>",1095,"2026-06-20T08:39:44.019Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","d68896bead1b439341760f5fec3a7771801582423094ff4e42c4075354cb70cf","pirate-no-one-understands-conqueror-s-haki-like--chapter-456","pirate-no-one-understands-conqueror-s-haki-like--chapter-454",463,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fpirate-no-one-understands-conqueror-s-haki-like--cover.jpg"]
