Chapter 272 Xiao Hei is online

When Lex arrived at the Moby Dick, it was already night, the sky was full of stars, and the sea breeze was still blowing.

However, everyone still strongly requested a banquet, and since the hospitality could not be declined, a banquet began.

Lex sat next to Whitebeard, but his eyes were fixed on the young version of Blackbeard in the far corner with interest!

Yes, Blackbeard————Marshall D. Teach!!

"Dad, is that little black fat boy your new son?"

"Kulalala, yes, Tiqi is an orphan who makes a living by fishing. He kept kneeling down to beg me, and I took him in out of pity for him."

Whitebeard's benevolence and righteousness are known to everyone. He never considers talent when adopting a son. Of course, if the talent is good, it is better, but poor talent does not matter, because Whitebeard firmly believes that he is the most powerful patriarch.

Whitebeard turned his head and noticed the teasing look in the depths of Lex's deep blue eyes. He lowered his voice and asked:

"What? Is there something wrong with him?"

Lex had known Whitebeard since he was six years old. After years of getting along, the two naturally had a tacit understanding that was difficult for ordinary people to match. So just by looking at each other, Whitebeard noticed that Lex paid special attention to Teach, and this attention was obviously not a good thing.

When Lex heard Whitebeard's words, he just nodded slightly.

In fact, since boarding the ship, Lex has been using the Observation Haki of the God's Realm to read Teach's mind.

Teach, who has not grown up yet, naturally cannot resist Lex's mind reading, so the conspiracies and thoughts deep in his heart are completely seen by Lex.

The next moment, Rex and Whitebeard connected to the 'Bluetooth mode' of their observation Haki and began a secret communication -

"Is there really something wrong with Teach? What did you read?"

Knowing that Lex had the same mind-reading ability as the Red Earl, Whitebeard did not doubt anything and asked Lex directly.

"Teach's reason for getting on board is strange. He did it for a devil fruit."

Whitebeard remained calm on the surface and continued to toast with Lex, but in fact he continued to communicate with Lex secretly:

"What?!~ He got on board just for a devil fruit?~ How could it be?"

Lex didn't give Whitebeard much explanation, just smiled slightly, stood up and walked towards Blackbeard.

Whitebeard didn't stop him and just watched Lex walk towards Teach with the wine glass in hand.

In the corner, Titch was sitting next to Chef Sachi, eating cherry pie silently like a transparent person.

Under the cover of night, no one who was having fun at the banquet noticed the little black fat man in the corner.

He lowered his eyes and took bites of the cherry pie with his mouth which was missing several teeth. Only occasionally a look of curiosity and observation flashed in his eyes, and he would look at Whitebeard and Lex on the deck from time to time.

Suddenly, Teach noticed that Lex stood up, holding a glass full of sherry and walking towards him casually.

The rest of the Whitebeard Pirates looked at Rex. After all, he was the big brother besides Whitebeard, and everyone loved and admired him.

No one thought that Lex was going to find Teach with the wine glass, except Teach himself.

Sachi saw Lex coming towards him and thought that Lex was looking for him, so he quickly picked up the glass:

"Brother Lex, I have been practicing hard recently. It's Marco who has been lazy and doing nothing all day. He didn't even practice the whole day yesterday."

Marco was originally bragging and chatting with Joz, but when he heard Sachi's slander, he was stunned and immediately started cursing:

"You bastard Sachi! It was you who put laxatives in my pineapple pie! You are a chef! You are a beast!~"

"Haha, you were the first one to come to the kitchen and steal the pineapple. Don't you know that it is shameless to steal without the chef's permission?"

"Baga!~"

The two of them started to fight as they argued, and the people around them started to add fuel to the fire:

"Good job! Thatch! Fuck him!"

"Yes, we are chefs, so we must not lose face!~"

"Marco, cheer up! Cut him!~"

Everyone was in a commotion, and Whitebeard did not stop them, but instead fanned the flames:

"Whoever loses will be responsible for cleaning up tonight's party."

"Hahahaha!~"

"Wuhu!~"

"Fight, don't lose face, be alert, Thatch!~"

"Marco, fuck him!"

Lex passed by the people playing and laughing, and walked straight towards Teach at the edge.

I saw Teach's whole body tremble slightly, but this tiny movement was seen clearly by Whitebeard in the distance.

Lex walked up to Teach:

"Hey, new boy, come and have a drink."

Tiqi's dark little face was full of smiles, and he quickly raised the glass full of juice in his hand:

"Brother Lex, I-I-"

Teach looked extremely terrified. At this moment, his mentality was 70% real and 30% disguised.

In fact, although Teach, at a young age, has the ambition to obtain the Dark-Dark Fruit and reach the top of the world, at this moment, he still continues to forbear with the idea of trying his luck.

If you never get the Dark-Dark Fruit in your life, then it would be nice to be a nobody under Whitebeard.

However, the next moment, Teach heard Lex say something that made him terrified when he thought about it carefully.

Lex smiled slightly:

"Teach, I think you have a lot of talent and have the potential to become a squad leader."

"How could that be? I don't have that kind of ambition."

"Hmm, maybe I'm wrong. I always feel that your body is different from ours."

After saying that, Lex turned and left, leaving only a mysterious and unforgettable back for Teach.

!!! ~

Tiqi's body trembled slightly uncontrollably again, this was because of fear and trepidation. He wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and gave a dry laugh to cover it up:

"Thief hahaha~"

When Lex returned to Whitebeard again, Whitebeard's expression became much more serious.

After the banquet -

Whitebeard returned to the captain's cabin with Lex beside him.

"Dad, what are you going to do with Teach?"

"I'm giving you this power, what will you do?"

Whitebeard was a little sad. He thought Teach was a good boy who was law-abiding and a simple and honest boy who didn't like to talk.

But today's test by Lex was enough for Whitebeard to realize that Teach was hiding something from him, and it didn't seem like a good thing.

The children have their own ambitions and ideas, and Whitebeard can understand and support them.

But Whitebeard would not allow someone like Teach to board the ship because of his own ambitions and lurk on the Moby Dick like a conspirator.

Even before Teach boarded the ship, he told Whitebeard directly and generously: "Dad, I want the Dark-Dark Fruit."

Whitebeard will help him find it and support him in fulfilling his dream.
