Chapter 379 Blackbeard's Alertness
after one day.
The sky is cloudless and the sun is shining.
Jinan was lazily lying on a comfortable recliner, enjoying his rare leisure time.
There was a gentle breeze, the sound of the waves whispered in my ears, and the sun was warm but not blinding, making my eyelids feel heavy.
However, just when he was about to relax completely, the Den Den Mushi suddenly made a series of sounds, completely breaking the silence.
"Jin'an, you brat! You're just a general and you're already slacking off?!"
That familiar, irritable voice almost broke the Den Den Mushi.
"You want to throw everything to an old man like me? Where are you? Come back here as soon as possible!!!"
Jin An frowned slightly, feeling a bit headache from the sudden roar.
He had to rub his ears, and then helplessly moved the Den Den Mushi away to avoid more "saliva attacks".
The face of the Den Den Mushi imitated the expression of the speaker, and its angry look made it look a little funny, but Jin An couldn't laugh.
He raised his hand to wipe the saliva off his face, feeling a little helpless.
The tranquility of this moment was completely broken.
Jinan knew who this aggressive voice belonged to—Zhan Guo.
He took a deep breath, calmed himself down, and put a helpless smile on his face.
"receive……"
Jin An responded a little tiredly, with a hint of helplessness in his voice.
He knew in his heart that he had not reported this "private" trip to the West Sea to Zhan Guo or anyone else.
Although this trip was very important to him, he also understood his responsibilities as a naval admiral.
Therefore, after receiving Zhan Guo's roar, he could only agree obediently and prepare to return as soon as possible.
After Jin'an answered, Zhan Guo still didn't stop chattering.
It was not until Jinan's ears were covered with calluses that Zhan Guo reluctantly hung up the Den Den Mushi.
Jin An slowly stood up, stretched, and looked at the sea in the distance.
The blue ocean was still so calm at this moment, but he knew that his leisure time was over.
He knew Zhan Guo's temper very well. If he delayed any further, he would probably be scolded even more severely.
"Sure enough, it's not easy to take a break." Jin An sighed in his heart.
No matter what position you hold, responsibility always comes with power.
Although he was reluctant to admit it, he knew in his heart that as a naval admiral, he no longer had the freedom to do whatever he wanted as he had in the past.
After adjusting his mindset, Jinan put away the Den Den Mushi and prepared to return home.
"Alas, I still don't have the same mentality as Borsalino..."
......
In an unknown sea area, the sun shines on the deck, but it cannot dispel the oppressive atmosphere in the air.
Inside the cabin, Charlotte Lingling held a porcelain cup tightly in one hand, staring intently at the newspaper in her hand, with a dangerous light flashing in her eyes.
The face in the newspaper - Blackbeard Teach - was the source of her anger at the moment.
"black beard?"
She whispered the name, her voice filled with undisguised anger and murderous intent.
The cup in her hand was crushed by her in an instant, and the fragments fell silently to the ground, as if foreshadowing her anger that was about to be released.
"How dare you plunder my Ten Thousand Kingdoms? You are really courting death!"
However, Charlotte Lingling's eyes gradually calmed down.
She used to be the explosive and unscrupulous Big Mom, but now, she is no longer the emperor who gets mad at the slightest provocation.
Her eyes were slightly narrowed, revealing deep calmness and forbearance.
She has learned to suppress her emotions and hide her claws at critical moments.
She would quietly accumulate strength and wait for the right opportunity to make those who dared to offend her pay the price.
"I have to let them know what the consequences are of offending me." She sneered in her heart.
Looking back, Charlotte Lingling had to admit that she had indeed wasted a lot of precious time.
As one of the most talented people in the world, she should have already stood at the pinnacle of this world.
However, in order to expand her family, she gave birth to countless children and neglected the cultivation of her own strength.
But now, everything is different.
She is no longer the Big Mom who relies solely on the power of her blood, but a strong person who has a clear understanding of her own strength.
"Domineering?" She murmured in a low voice, her eyes becoming increasingly profound.
She slowly closed her eyes, feeling the power surging through her body.
The next second, her domineering aura was instantly aroused, and the air around her seemed to tremble because of her momentum, and the objects in the cabin began to shake slightly.
At this moment, her strength has greatly improved compared to before, and she knows that this is just the beginning.
Her power is still growing, and she wants to become even stronger, so strong that no one can shake her position.
"It's better to rely on myself than on others!" Charlotte Lingling swore secretly in her heart.
In the past, she might have relied on her large family and the power of her subordinates, but now she knows that only the power she holds is the most reliable.
The corner of her mouth curled up in a sneer.
Blackbeard, those who dared to betray her, and all her enemies will meet their end in the near future.
And at that moment, she will stand at the top of the world again as the strongest person, and make everyone tremble at her name.
"The position of Pirate King can only be mine!!!"
......
Blackbeard Teach sat in a dark room, the sunlight streaming in through the narrow window, barely illuminating a wooden table in front of him.
There was an updated newspaper on the table. Blackbeard's face gradually darkened as he read the report.
The report described in detail his "evil deeds" of looting all nations and kidnapping Celestial Dragons, and the words between the lines seemed to portray him as the most terrible villain in the world.
"damn it!"
He punched the table hard, the solid wood was instantly penetrated, wood chips scattered everywhere, and the whole table made a dull cracking sound.
His roar echoed in the room, and the anger in his eyes seemed to burn everything.
He had been plotting secretly, planning how to achieve his ambitions step by step, but this newspaper pushed him to the forefront.
"Who spread rumors about me?!"
His voice was low and full of anger, as if he wanted to eat alive the person who had done the evil behind the scenes.
Blackbeard clenched his fists tightly, and his knuckles turned white from excessive force.
He wished he could find the person who framed him immediately and teach him a lesson.
However, his anger was suddenly mixed with a hint of doubt.
"wrong!"
His eyes suddenly flashed, and he recalled the murderous aura he caught that day, "Could it be that day...?"
The strange aura he felt in the temple that day emerged in his mind. Could it be that all this started from then?
He recalled the faint but dangerous murderous aura he had captured in the temple that day. Although the other party tried hard to hide it, he still felt it.
And now, the smear campaign against him in the newspapers seems to point to the same mastermind.
But even so, he couldn't be sure of the other party's identity.
Blackbeard's anger gradually cooled, replaced by calmness and ferocity.
