"It doesn't matter which island it is, as long as we can follow the captain and dominate the world. That's all that matters"
Avalo Pizarro laughed and said.
"Oh? I heard Beehive Island is a pirate's paradise. Casinos, taverns, beauties, delicious food – an island that has everything"
At that moment, Shiryu entered with a katana in hand, leisurely wiping it with a napkin. As the former warden of Impel Down, he had occasionally heard this name from pirates.
Gion, who was practicing on the side, also paused and turned her attention to Blackbeard.
They were eager to understand Blackbeard's intentions in heading to Beehive Island.
"We will occupy Beehive Island, and that will be our future base camp"
Blackbeard announced it to everyone.
"Captain Blackbeard, is there something special about Beehive Island?"
Laffitte inquired with some curiosity
"Of course"
Blackbeard nodded.
"Do you know about the Rocks Pirates?"
When he posed this question, everyone present was momentarily stunned.
No one answered the question because they had never even heard of the Rocks Pirates.
Shiryu said with a serious expression.
"I've heard something."
"It's said that more than 40 years ago, he was the ruler of the seas. His pirate crew was so formidable that it posed a threat to the World Government. Unfortunately, it was eventually wiped out from the face of the sea."
Blackbeard smiled.
"What you know isn't comprehensive."
"Even Gion, who was at the Marines Headquarters, wasn't aware of this things."
He knew that Gion and the other officers had only known the news with the top vice admirals of the Marines at a meeting after Sengoku retired.
Gion nodded calmly, confirming that what Blackbeard said was correct.
"So, what secrets do the Rocks Pirates have?" Burgess inquired.
"Whitebeard, who died in the battle a few days ago, and the current Four Emperors Kaido and Big Mom were all part of that crew on the same ships. Not only that, Golden Lion, Wang Zhi, Captain John, and Ochaku were also Rocks crew members,"
Blackbeard's words left the criminal pirates, like them, stunned, and they all took a collective breath.
"So many powerful individuals were once part of Rocks Pirates crew?!"
Burgess asked in shock.
"Yes, although Kaido was just an intern on his ship at the time, having the Golden Lion, Whitebeard, and others was sufficient to illustrate how powerful the Rocks Pirates were back then"
Blackbeard explained.
His words piqued Gion's interest, and she asked, "So, what does this Beehive Island signify?"
"At that time, several pirates, including Rocks D. Xebec, Golden Lion and Whitebeard, formed the Rocks Pirates on Beehive Island, and their power grew rapidly. In the end, Rocks D. Xebec's goal is to become the king of the world but was defeated by Garp, who teamed up with Roger to bring him down. This incident is what made Garp a hero in the Marines"
"This incident was so bad that the World Government later erased it from history, similar to the eight hundred years of the void century missing from the history of the world. There are too many mysteries in this world"
"But that's not important. What matters is that we'll be the next pirate crew to challenge the world, so I chose Beehive Island as our starting point."
Blackbeard wore a faint smile on his face, discussing it as if it were an everyday occurrence, something so big that made them feel the chill with excitement!
"Sounds very interesting..."
Shiryu grinned maliciously as he wiped the katana in his hand.
"Isn't our pirate crew also only a gathering of strong people? Weihahaha! Just as Captain Blackbeard said, we are the next crew to challenge the world!"
Burgess laughed loudly.
"I agree"
Gion simply stated. For her, challenging the World Government was synonymous with challenging the Celestial Dragons.
Her goal is simple: to bring the Celestial Dragons down from their throne!.
"Since everyone has no objections, let's set off for Beehive Island"
Blackbeard declared, then turned to Avalo Pizarro: "I have something for you."
Avalo Pizarro was obviously a little surprised.
Then, Blackbeard thought for a moment, and an apple materialized in his hand. He intended to create a crew link with Avalo Pizarro, allowing him not only to control Avalo Pizarro but also to possess the Devil Fruit Ability that Avalo Pizarro possessed.
"An apple?"
Avalo Pizarro reached out to take it, but Blackbeard halted his hand.
"As long as you take a bite of this apple, I can use your fruit ability. Of course, there are disadvantages for you; if you betrayed me, your fruit ability will be strip from you and taken by me"
Blackbeard calmly explained to Avalo Pizarro.
Before the Blackbeard Pirates can develop, Blackbeard must first address internal crew issues and consolidate the strength of the Blackbeard Pirates.
If these foundational issues aren't solved, what will happen next? In the future, even a minor problem could be enough to tear a pirate group apart.
"Oh?"
"Captain Blackbeard doesn't believe me?"
Avalo Pizarro wore a smile on his face after hearing this.
"I have a sentence here that you've probably never heard."
"What is it?"
Avalo Pizarro asked with curiosity.
"I would rather choose to betray the world than let the world betray me!"
Blackbeard said with a crazy smile.
After saying this, a hint of dominance gradually emanated from his presence. This kind of dominance certainly didn't belong to the original Blackbeard.
