Chapter 295: Target: Phantom Beast Species — Nine-Tailed Fox

Hearing Lafitte's concerns, Blackbeard Tichi burst into laughter.

"Lafitte, life and death are fate, wealth and honor are destiny; if you're too timid to act, you'll never accomplish anything great."

Lafitte nodded and said, "I understand, Captain."

For Tichi, who dared to plot against Bai Huzi, even a three-tenths chance was enough to wager his life.

This was also why Blackbeard and his men dared come to Impel Down.

It was precisely because of Blackbeard Tichi's boldness to risk his life.

That Lafitte and the others were willing to follow him.

"If you're afraid of Magellan, I can help."

A figure appeared beside Blackbeard and his men, speaking up voluntarily.

Blackbeard glanced at the figure beside him, dressed in Impel Down's uniform, and roared with laughter:

"Rahahaha, who the hell are you?!"

Rain Hiryu took a drag from his cigar and smiled as he spoke:

"Warden of Impel Down, Hiryu."

Blackbeard stared at Hiryu and grinned:

"You're one of Impel Down's Two Pillars, Rain Hiryu? You're not stopping me?"

Hiryu exhaled a smoke ring and laughed.

"I resigned long ago. Living here means a dull, empty life. You, a bold and daring man willing to gamble everything, are exactly the kind of man I've been waiting for."

"How about it? Want me to join you, Marshall D. Tichi?"

The bold and commanding aura Blackbeard Tichi had just displayed impressed Hiryu greatly.

Blackbeard Tichi laughed heartily: "Rahahaha! If you want to join my crew, you'd better be ready to die at any moment!"

"Naturally."

Hiryu glanced at the few remaining figures in the Sixth Floor and added, "It seems they've already decided the final victor."

The slender yet grotesque Xuan Yue hunter Catarina Devon stepped before Blackbeard and his men and said:

"Let's go, I've had enough of this ugly prison uniform."

Then, Evil Emperor, Big Barrel, and Saint Juan Wolf (in his normal Giant form) also arrived beside Blackbeard.

Blackbeard Tichi looked at the figures before him and smiled.

"Rahahaha! From now on, you all follow me."

"Let's go—another battlefield awaits us!"

With that, Blackbeard Tichi ignored the released prisoners and turned away with his group.

As Blackbeard and his men stepped out of the Sixth Floor corridor and arrived at the Fifth Floor, they saw a figure standing far off, calmly watching them.

It was Lin Yu, who had already hunted down all the Fifth Floor ability users.

"Rahahaha, who the hell are you?!"
