Blackbeard put away the file about Gion; it could prove to be valuable for him in the future.
He truly didn't know what Gion would think after discovering it.
...
"Who's inside?!"
Vice Admiral Chaton's voice resonated outside the door. A grin formed on Blackbeard's face as he stepped out.
Burgess, Shiryu and the rest all surrounded the Vice Admiral Chaton
"Blackbeard! You're Blackbeard!"
Vice Admiral Chaton's face turned ferocious. His broken arm was a result of their previous encounter.
"What are you going to do?!"
Vice Admiral Chaton demanded angrily.
"Of course, I'm going to kill you…"
Blackbeard responded calmly.
As soon as he finished speaking, Shiryu rushed forward first.
Just when Chaton wanted to use his stored ability, he was shocked to find that his ability could not be used!
Blackbeard cleverly utilized the power of darkness to nullify Chaton's Devil Fruit ability, making him unable to use his devil fruit.
Without his Devil Fruit ability, Vice Admiral Chaton was clearly overpowered by Shiryu.
Shiryu swiftly dealt a fatal blow, cutting Vice Admiral Chaton in half with a single sword strike!
The Vice Admiral Chaton died. At this time, Doc Q inspected the apples in the basket.
Among the many apples There is an apple inside that has gradually developed special lines, and before long, it transformed into a devil fruit!
"Captain, We got another devil fruit!"
Doc Q laughed
"So, this is still possible?"
Catarina Devon remarked, seeing the devil fruit in the basket with astonishment.
"Hahaha, I really can't understand you more and more, Blackbeard,"
Avalo Pizzaro laughed and said.
"I never expected to get a Devil Fruit like this"
Vasco's face showed a hint of surprise, and then he sensed something, and said to Blackbeard: "Captain Blackbeard, looks like someone's approaching."
As soon as he finished speaking, Vice Admiral 'Momousagi' Gion figure appeared in front of them.
Her eyes instantly focused on the killed Chaton on the ground
Gion glared at Blackbeard and asked angrily, "Why did you purposely stay at the Marine Headquarters? What were you up to?!"
Soon her eyes froze.
Behind Blackbeard stood several criminals dressed in prison uniforms. As an admiral candidate, she could easily recognize each one with just a glance.
"Did you set them free?!"
Gion's face immediately turned grim.
"Not just them, Impel Down has fallen,"
Blackbeard said with a calm smile. He then pulled out Gion's file and threw it to her
"You should check this out first. It's what I discovered in this room just now."
"A file?"
Gion took the document cautiously, opening it carefully. She suspected that Blackbeard might be trying to deceive her.
As she opened it and read the contents, her expression froze instantly, and her fingers gripping the file became noticeably stiff.
"This is impossible! "
Gion's expression almost flipped, and her eyes started to fill with tears.
She spent her entire life under the care of the Marines, aiming to become a Marine admiral as a way to repay their kindness.
Yet, the ones responsible for her parents' death were the Celestial Dragons. Now, isn't she unwittingly working for her own parents' killers?
Upon discovering the truth, she struggled to accept this reality for some time.
"If you seek revenge, maybe I'm the only one who can help you. The Blackbeard Pirates always welcome the strong."
A smile crept onto the corner of Blackbeard's mouth as he left, wearing a cunning expression.
Now, he needed to give Gion some time to gather herself.
He believed there was a good chance that she might join his pirate crew!
"The captain's strategy is impressive. If Gion joins us, we'll have another strong ally,"
Laffitte praised.
"Yeah right, Gion's strength is truly strong,"
Burgess nodded in agreement.
They've witnessed Gion's strength before. When Enel unleashed the Raigo attack, she destroyed it with a sword strike. Naturally, they wouldn't turn down such a powerful woman.
"Blackbeard, you really think things through"
Avalo Pizzaro said as he followed behind Blackbeard.
After hearing this, Laffitte turned his head and glanced at Avalo Pizarro, and said in a calm tone:"Please address him as Captain Blackbeard."
"Then it depends on whether he can get Whitebeard's Tremor-Tremor Fruit. If not, I might reconsider following him"
Avalo Pizzaro laughed and remarked that being a powerful and ambitious individual, he wouldn't readily submit to someone else's order.
"Collecting Whitebeard's corpse is really exciting. Whether we succeed or not depends entirely on Captain Blackbeard"
A strange smile appeared on the corner of Catarina Devon mouth.
"I sense the battle is coming to an end. Shouldn't we get Whitebeard's corpse now?"
Vasco Shot took a sip of wine and looked at Blackbeard with his small eyes.
It can be said that they grew up under the oppression of Whitebeard.
Whitebeard, the Emperor of the Sea, has a head that every pirate desires the most!
"Get ready for a spectacular show"
Blackbeard said with a faint smile as he walked towards the roof of the Marines Headquarters building.
The Blackbeard Pirates followed in his footsteps.
On the roof, Blackbeard could oversee the battlefield.
Here, Ace was already dead, Luffy was unconscious, and the Whitebeard Pirates were in retreat.
Whitebeard was risking his life to shield them. He had already committed to staying here until the end.
