Chapter 391: Teach's Ambition

Nami also accepted the fact that Franky was completely dead. She stopped looking at the resurrected Emmet and turned out to look for Luffy.

Finally she found Luffy on a rooftop.

Luffy stood by the railing, staring at the sea in the distance in a daze.

Nami slowly walked to Luffy and called him softly. Luffy came back to his senses and turned to look at Nami with empty eyes.

The two of them just stared at each other quietly until Luffy spoke first.

"Nami, are you afraid? This time it was Franky, next time..."

Before Luffy could finish, Nami raised her hand and covered Luffy's mouth, saying,

"Stupid Luffy, how many times have I told you? I'm not afraid, I will always be with you, don't we still have dreams to fulfill?"

As Luffy was distracted, Nami took back her hand, put her hands on her waist and said,

"Aren't you going to be the man who becomes the Pirate King? The Pirate King won't be afraid of this or that! Pay attention, Luffy!"

Hearing the word "Pirate King", Luffy's face showed a complicated expression. He clenched his fists and said,

"I will definitely be the Pirate King!"

Nami's face lit up when she heard that. She stepped forward and hugged Luffy, saying,

"Luffy, I believe you can become the Pirate King!"

Luffy nodded and gritted his teeth.

"But if I don't get rid of that Tianlong, I won't be able to be the Pirate King, and Franky, Ace and the others will have died in vain. I must become stronger, stronger than that Tianlong!"

There was a strong hatred in Luffy's voice. It was the first time for someone with his personality to feel such great hatred towards someone.

Nami looked at Luffy worriedly, and after confirming that there was no change in Luffy's pupils, she spoke,

"Luffy, what are you going to do next?"

Luffy calmed down and said seriously,

"The strength of just the few of us left is too weak. I want to inherit the army left by my father and establish the Straw Hat Grand Fleet!"

Hearing this, Nami felt that Luffy in front of her became very unfamiliar. She pursed her lips and said,

"But....."

"No buts, I have already decided. I will follow Uncle Gildeo's advice and retreat to the East China Sea to secretly accumulate strength. I also need some time to train. My strength... is too weak! A weak person can do nothing!!"

At this point, Luffy's pupils turned red, and his long-suppressed emotions showed signs of exploding at any time, so Nami had no choice but to shut her mouth.

......

Blackbeard here,

Teach was squatting on the deck, his bare chest covered in bandages.

Chiffon at the side gently handed over a piece of cherry pie. Teach grabbed it, took a big bite, and chewed it roughly.

Seeing this, Chifeng said softly,

"Hubby, you are still injured, eat slowly."

Tiqi said vaguely while chewing.

"Well... it's okay, I'm almost well now. Humph, there's something really weird about that Straw Hat kid, and his devil fruit..."

At this point, Teach's eyes were filled with greed. That was the devil fruit of the Pirate King Roger! If he could get it... well, he still couldn't beat Tianlong. After all, Roger had personally tested this in front of the whole world.

but!

At least I have the strength to fight now!

There was no way. Even if he had mastered the power of the Tremor-Tremor Fruit, he would still be unsure if he were to face Jiger.

This "bottom line" refers to whether he can last ten rounds at the hands of Jiger.

Thinking of this, Tiqi spat.

"Tsk! What a lucky kid! You almost made me vomit my dad!"

As he said that, Teach tore off the bandages on his body. He was not overconfident, his injuries had indeed recovered.

Lafayette, who was also the navigator, came over and said,

"Captain, it will probably take another day for us to reach Shabaodi Island."

Tiqi nodded and said,

"Well, once we get there, let's coat the ship first, and then we'll set off for Fishman Island!"

Lafayette hesitated and said,

"Captain, there is something I want to remind you. Both Shabaodi and Fishman Island have a large number of naval garrisons. Although most of those naval garrisons are not a concern, these two places are very close to the Navy Headquarters. If the headquarters sends people over, I'm afraid..."

Teach grinned and said,

"Of course I know that, but isn't being a pirate an adventure in itself? The greater the risk, the higher the reward. I will definitely go to Fishman Island!"

Chiffon asked curiously,

"Hubby, what on earth is on Fishman Island? Is it worth my risking so much?"

Tiqi patted his belly and said,

"That's the ultimate dream of all pirates. My dad mentioned it to us when he was drunk on the ship. If we get that thing, we will be qualified to get One Piece!"

When they heard "One piece", everyone was shocked. Even the sickly Poison Q came over and listened with his ears perked up.

The simple-minded Badgers shouted loudly,

"Captain, what on earth is that thing?"

Tiqi looked around at everyone. It could be said that those standing around were all his confidants. He had no need to hide anything, so he spoke directly.

"The text of history!"

When Chifeng heard this, he exclaimed in surprise,

"Historical text? Husband, do you mean the stone tablet with strange symbols on it?"

Teach nodded. It was no secret that there was a historical text on Cake Island. Ever since Roger secretly made a copy of it, Big Mom simply stopped hiding it.

In fact, apart from Roger at that time, no one dared to set their sights on the Cake Island where Big Mom was.

Just like the sword stuck in the main hall of Wudang Mountain, everyone knows it is stuck there, but no one dares to take it, just because besides the sword, there is also a centenarian old man.

Chiffon frowned and said,

"But husband, there are very few people who can understand those symbols. Even if we get it, it will only be a useless stone!"

Teach's expression remained unchanged as he responded,

"We have to get it first, at least we can't let others get there first, like that Straw Hat Boy! I remember that he was on his ship! She is Kozuki Oden's wife, and she may also have the ability to decipher historical texts!"

Badgers clenched his fist and gritted his teeth.

"Then let's catch that woman!"

Teach remained silent upon hearing this. Lafayette glanced at Bazzis and thought to himself,

"Idiot! The captain just got beaten up by the Straw Hat Boy, and you want him to risk his life?"
