Chapter 1647 How Long Can Blackbeard Remain Arrogant?

Looking at Blackbeard Teach's arrogant and domineering manner, as if he wanted to offend the whole world to death, especially after witnessing his ability to steal Devil Fruits.

And the forbidden method that leads to the inevitable death of those with abilities caused drastically different emotions in the hearts of the two emperors who ruled the seas in the New World.

鬼岛

Kaido held a giant gourd in one hand and propped his chin up with the other.

His large, bell-like eyes stared intently through the screen at Blackbeard Teach's face, which was etched with madness.

As Kaido watched his opponent recklessly display his power, humiliate the Marines, and plunder Devil Fruits, a wild figure long forgotten in Kaido's mind gradually overlapped with the Teach before him.

"Lox, you bastard son, your arrogant manner is exactly like yours, old man. You both want to tear the sky apart. You're really cut from the same cloth."

Memories flood back like a tide.

Back when Kaido was young and impetuous, he boarded Rocks' ship and was beaten up quite a few times by that ridiculously strong captain. It was a kind of power and dominance that was completely unreasonable.

Although he was annoying, one had to admit that Rocks was a thrilling opponent.

Unfortunately, he died too young.

Kaido licked the wine stains from the corner of his mouth, the crimson light in his eyes growing ever stronger.

A pure, burning desire to fight, like long-suppressed volcanic lava, began to rise steadily in his chest. The alcohol and intoxication alone were no longer enough to suppress it.

He suddenly raised his head, his bloodshot eyes flashing with a dangerous red light, like a predatory beast, sweeping over the group of Beast Pirates' top officers, the Flying Six, and other high-ranking members with an extremely oppressive aura.

Every cadre felt a chill run down their spine as they were swept over by their boss's undisguised gaze, which was almost tangible with a fighting spirit.

They knew Kaido all too well; his expression clearly showed that he was itching for a beating and desperately needed a heavy punching bag to vent his restless destructive urges.

But to use him as a punching bag? Most people don't have that ability, especially with Kaido getting stronger and stronger.

The thought of facing the Thunderous Eight Trigrams head-on caused even a top-tier fighter like Jin to twitch at the corner of his mouth.

That's no joke. If you get hit, you'll be in a hospital bed for at least ten days to half a month. Half of your bones will be broken, and that's the least of your worries.

Few people present really wanted to experience that excruciating pain and the long recovery period.

For a moment, the hall was completely silent.

The officers all lowered their heads, avoiding Kaido's scorching gaze, some staring at their toes, others gazing at the sky. No one dared to provoke them at this moment and volunteered to be their sparring partner.

Seeing these usually arrogant and domineering cadres now cowering like quails, looking weak and saying "I'm wrong, please don't hit me"...

Kaido let out a disgruntled snort. "You lot, every single one of you, are slacking off!"

"I haven't been training enough lately, my muscles and bones are all loose. How can I compete with the monsters of the new era if I continue like this?!"

"Starting tomorrow, all cadres will have to train for me for at least eight hours every day. Train until you drop dead, or you'll be exhausted. Anyone who dares to slack off will be personally supervised by me!"

The cadres were inwardly groaning, but dared not show the slightest complaint on their faces. They could only grit their teeth and agree in unison.

There's no way around it; on this vast ocean, especially within the Beasts Pirates, the boss has the biggest fist and can beat anyone with a righteous hand.

He said to add extra training, so we have to train like crazy.

Kaido turned his gaze back to Blackbeard on the screen, clenching his fist so that his knuckles cracked.

"The Dark-Dark Fruit nullifies Devil Fruit abilities?"

"It's rumored to be so miraculous, I really want to try it myself and see if your dark, ghostly thing can actually neutralize all the power within me."

Whole Cake Island

Big Mom sat on her enormous throne, surrounded by a dazzling array of desserts, but her attention was clearly not on the food.

She watched as Blackbeard Teach casually bestowed the Venom-Venom Fruit upon the traitor Shiryu of the Rain, and a clear displeasure appeared on his fat face.

"That brat Teach is such a waste of talent!"

Lingling took a bite of the giant cream puff in her hand, cream smearing her face, but her voice was filled with dissatisfaction, "The Venom-Venom Fruit is a pretty good fruit, if only we could trade it for it to our Big Mom Pirates..."

From now on, Lingling will always have a poison tester by her side!

No longer will I have to worry about those ignorant fools poisoning the food they offer.

But despite her fantasies, Lingling's mind is never confused when it comes to territory and safety.

As she watched Blackbeard arrogantly declare war on the World Government and plunder Devil Fruit abilities, her brows gradually furrowed.

"Teach, your ambitions are quite impressive."

Lingling licked the cream off her fingers, her voice lowering, tinged with schadenfreude but more so with wariness, “Be careful not to follow in your father Rocks’ footsteps. He was just as arrogant back then, and what happened to him?”

"In the end, he was left with no trace of his body. You might have fared even worse than him."

She knew very well that Blackbeard's actions today, which caused such a huge commotion and demonstrated such dangerous abilities, would inevitably make him a thorn in the side of the World Government and the Marine Headquarters.

The strongest shield of the Celestial Dragons, the Knights of God, will probably come knocking sooner or later. "Then there will be a good show to watch."

Lingling grinned, revealing a cruel yet expectant smile.

Whether it's the Blackbeard Pirates being wiped out or the God Knights suffering a setback, it's all good news for her.

Ideally, both sides should fight to the death, and she wouldn't care if they all died.

But after the laughter subsided, a more realistic and pressing concern surfaced in Lingling's mind.

"That old guy with the white beard doesn't look like he'll make it through today."

"With his death, the territory and power vacuum he left behind will definitely be seized by the newly emerged Blackbeard Pirates, who will pounce on it like sharks smelling blood."

The Big Mom Pirates also want a piece of the pie, and inevitably they will clash with Blackbeard's crew.

Thinking of Blackbeard's bizarre plundering abilities, Lingling's expression turned serious.

Her Whole Cake Island, her Big Mom Pirates, and her many children and core members are almost all powerful Devil Fruit users.

This is practically a treasure trove of Devil Fruits tailor-made for Blackbeard.

"No, we must make contingency plans in advance," Lingling slammed her hand on the armrest of the throne, making the cake castle shake.

We need to find a way to establish an equal deterrent with Blackbeard Teach, so that he knows that messing with Lingling's child and taking away her family's achievements will come at a price he cannot afford.

The skies of the New World seem to be gathering a new storm because of Blackbeard's sudden appearance and mad deeds.

The two veteran sea emperors have already become alert and have begun to plan how to deal with this new emperor, who has inherited Rocks' most dangerous traits, on the seas that are about to be reshuffled once again.
