Chapter 1688 Napoleon VS Blackbeard (21)

No one would have thought that this seemingly elegant man would be so despicable as to use other people's lives to threaten his opponents.

However, just as everyone was shocked, the next second.

"Thief hahahahahaha!"

Blackbeard's laughter echoed across the sea, as if it was about to break through the clouds.

His laughter was full of pride and arrogance, in stark contrast to his previous astonishment.

In just five seconds, Blackbeard's expression changed from astonishment to ecstasy. This rapid change made people sigh at his changeable emotions.

"Van Oka, well done!"

Blackbeard laughed and said to Van Oka behind him, his voice revealing his admiration and satisfaction for him.

Then, Blackbeard's gaze turned to Napoleon, and the smile in his eyes became more and more intense, and he couldn't stop it.

"Hahahahahaha, Napoleon, you don't want your crew to die in front of you!"

Blackbeard spoke to Napoleon in a joking tone, with the corners of his mouth raised, outlining a smug arc.

Napoleon's face was gloomy. He stared at Blackbeard and said in a deep voice: "Despicable!"

However, Blackbeard didn't seem to care about the word at all, and laughed even more crazily.

"Thief hahahaha!"

Blackbeard's laughter created waves on the sea.

"You really have the same personality as Ace!"

There was a hint of sarcasm in his words, as if mocking Napoleon's integrity and kindness.

Blackbeard's mood was obviously relieved. He looked at Napoleon and continued, "I am a pirate. How can a pirate not be despicable? In this sea, good people will be bullied, just like you now!"

After saying this, Blackbeard opened his arms, as if announcing his evil deeds to the whole world.

After hearing what Blackbeard said, Napoleon became more furious.

He gripped the Trident of Poseidon tightly in his hand, ready to meet Blackbeard's challenge.

"Now, it's finally your turn, Napoleon!"

Blackbeard's voice was full of teasing and sarcasm. With a chilling smile on his lips, he stared at Napoleon in front of him.

"Do you want to watch your lovely crew members die tragically in front of you, or do you want to call it a day and go your separate ways? I'm giving you enough face, the choice is yours, think about it carefully!"

After saying this, Blackbeard deliberately made a gesture of invitation, as if inviting Napoleon to make a decision.

However, the anger in Napoleon's heart had already erupted like a volcano. He clenched his fists tightly, his nails digging deeply into his palms, but he did not dare to make any extreme moves.

In this vast ocean full of unknowns and dangers, guys like Blackbeard who are ruthless and unscrupulous are the real strong ones.

People like him who still have some conscience and bottom line are often seen as weak and vulnerable.

Although Napoleon was not a good man, he absolutely could not tolerate his crew being killed in front of him.

He could turn a blind eye to the lives and deaths of strangers, but he had made a promise to his crew members to protect everyone.

Four years ago, when he first set foot on this rough sea, he made a vow to be kind and righteous and to protect his companions.

This is his deepest principle, but also his weak spot.

However, on this turbulent sea, the reality is so cruel.

Those villains like the Blackbeard Pirates who have no regard for morality and law always seem to thrive in this world where the strong prey on the weak, and live better and better.

This is not only the sorrow of this ocean, but also the sorrow of all the weak.

If this happened to Charlotte, she would also hesitate.

After all, Charlotte's only weakness is his family.

Family is extremely important to everyone. Once someone uses Charlotte's family to threaten him, Charlotte may not be able to withstand the pressure and may eventually choose to compromise.

Everyone has weaknesses, and these weaknesses are often what we care about the most and are most reluctant to lose.

When this weakness is caught by others, we will become very passive, even lose ourselves, and be completely restricted by others.

This vast and cruel sea seems more suitable for a crazy and unscrupulous person like Blackbeard.

In this ocean world full of unknowns and dangers, only those who dare to take risks and recklessly can truly survive.

"what on earth do you want?"

Napoleon's voice was cold, revealing his inner anger and dissatisfaction.

If this crew member had died at the hands of the enemy without his knowledge, Napoleon might not have reacted so strongly.

However, Blackbeard actually used his own crew to threaten him in front of everyone, which was undoubtedly a great provocation to him.

"Hahahahahaha, I didn't expect that the famous lion Napoleon would have to bow his head one day!"

Blackbeard laughed wildly. He seemed very satisfied with Napoleon's reaction and thought he had complete control of the situation.

"Captain, leave me alone!"

The fishman, whose head was pointed at by Van Oka with a gun, suddenly struggled frantically and shouted at Napoleon.

"I knew this day would come the moment I set out to sea. You don't have to worry about me!"

The heart-wrenching cry of the crew was like a sharp sword piercing Napoleon's heart, making his heart feel like it was hit by a sledgehammer and causing unbearable pain.

However, facing Blackbeard's ridicule, Napoleon knew that he must not act impulsively at this time. He had to suppress the pain and anger in his heart.

"Murat, bring Badgers here!"

Napoleon roared suddenly, his voice was deafening, and it seemed particularly abrupt in this tense atmosphere.

With Napoleon's loud shout, the originally fierce battle came to a sudden halt.

The crews on both sides looked at him in astonishment, not knowing what he was going to do.

When the fishmen of the Lion Pirates heard the captain's order, they quickly returned behind Napoleon and formed a confrontation with the Blackbeard Pirates.

Murat nodded without hesitation, then rushed towards the Lion like an arrow.

Under the astonished gazes of the Blackbeard Pirates, Murat quickly came out dragging a man who looked no different than a dead dog.

"Badgers is still alive!"

The members of the Blackbeard Pirates cried out in surprise when they saw that the person being dragged out by Murat was actually their number one captain, Bugles.

"I thought Badgers was dead!"

Katrin stared with wide eyes, looking at Badgers in disbelief, who was like a dead dog.

"Hey, Captain, it looks like our crew members are in their hands too!"

Pizarro had a sly smile on his face and looked at Blackbeard with interest, as if he wanted to see how Blackbeard would make a choice in this situation.
