Chương 223: 222 Blackbeard Plan
Certainly, when mentioning the strength of these two Admirals, it implies a combined force, not simply adding their strengths together like 1+1
Therefore, despite having two powerful Devil Fruit abilities, Blackbeard doesn't believe he can defeat Whitebeard.
This is also due to Blackbeard's obvious weakness—while he can absorb damage with the Dark fruit, that fruit power also amplified the pain he receive from an attack.
In simpler terms, doubling the power inflicts twice the pain on Blackbeard. Therefore, he is not as invincible as high-end combat powers.
However, Blackbeard is confident in his strength, believing he can take on two Marine Admirals by himself if given the opportunity.
Blackbeard thought that he might be able to engage in a back-and-forth battle with them, with an uncertain outcome. However, if he wants to easily defeat them, it proves to be a difficult feat for him at the moment.
At this moment, Shiryu suddenly thought of something, he immediately said to Blackbeard,
"There's another option"
Shiryu said. Blackbeard immediately asked with curiosity, "What's the solution?"
"We could form an alliance with the Revolutionary Army. We promise them that if we successfully eliminate the Whitebeard Pirates, we'll share the conquered territory equally and assist them in their fight against the World Government"
After Shiryu finished speaking, others also thought that this was a feasible way.
Indeed, the Revolutionary Army possesses considerable strength, and even the World Government would find it difficult to deal with them.
If he can truly ally with the Revolutionary Army, then he has a significant chance of winning against Whitebeard.
Blackbeard also sees the logic in it, but there's a crucial point to consider.
"The Revolutionary Army's primary goal is only the World Government, and the promises we offer them might seem somewhat elusive. Are they truly willing to agree to cooperate with us?"
Blackbeard is not very optimistic about this. The Revolutionary Army, he believes, is indeed a mysterious organization.
Despite everyone being aware of this organization, the World Government has been dedicated to their destruction.
Yet, the Revolutionary Army has persevered, displaying not only tenacious vitality but also an air of mystery.
Outsiders are mostly unaware of the mysterious nature of the Revolutionary Army—details like the number of cadres and members remain unknown.
The only piece of information widely known is that the leader of the Revolutionary Army is named Dragon.
Blackbeard hasn't encountered this person before, and the extent of their strength remains unknown. However, if they can stand against the World Government, they strength should be not lower than four emperor crew
However, Blackbeard has heard one thing: the Revolutionary Army typically refrains from intervening in the conflicts among pirates.
Their sole purpose is to overthrow the World Government, and they have consistently operated in secrecy.
Therefore, considering the probabilities, the likelihood of the Revolutionary Army forming an alliance with the Blackbeard Pirates against the Whitebeard Pirates is quite low.
This poses a significant disadvantage for the Revolutionary Army. If the operation fails, it means adding one more enemy, and Whitebeard will undoubtedly pursue them relentlessly.
Even worse, the Revolutionary Army might face a double threat from both the World Government and Whitebeard. Because the World Government has always aimed to eliminate the Revolutionary Army.
Launching an assault against the Whitebeard Pirates is a big action that cannot go unnoticed by the World Government.
In the best-case scenario, the Revolutionary Army avoids an attack from the World Government and simultaneously collaborates with Blackbeard to destroy the Whitebeard Pirates.
In that case, they may not reap the benefits they seek. The Blackbeard Pirates are likely to break their promises; after all, verbal guarantees aren't very restrictive.
Considering Blackbeard's own understanding, aligning with the Revolutionary Army might only complicate matters further, in his opinion.
Therefore, Blackbeard questioned the possibility of the Revolutionary Army forming an alliance with them.
At this point, Shiryu responded, "Captain, whether the Revolutionary Army agrees or not, let's send someone to open communication."
"Isn't the Revolutionary Army always in hiding, we don't even know where they at? How do we even contact them?"
Burgess inquired immediately.
"Well, that's true, but I believe that if we make enough noise, they will take the initiative to ally with us"
Shiryu said with a sly smile.
"Shiryu, do you have a plan?" Blackbeard inquired immediately.
"Captain, during my time in Impel Down, I gathered a lot of information about the identity of Dragon, the leader of the Revolutionary Army."
"His identity?"
"Yes, the leader of the Revolutionary Army, Dragon, is a Marine Vice Admiral and the son of the Marine Hero Garp."
"I'm aware of this, but Garp is a legendary figure in the Marines, and their father-son relationship doesn't seem to impact each other. Why does it matter?"
"Captain, did you know that Dragon also has a son?"
"Dragon's son? I've never heard of this."
"He is one of the Supernovas, Straw Hat Luffy."
"What? It's him!"
Hearing the name Luffy, Blackbeard also displayed a hint of surprise.
Because Blackbeard has encountered Luffy several times, harboring disdain for the person but admiring his abilities greatly.
"That guy has great potential. I didn't expect him to be Dragon's son. I mean, if we catch Luffy, then Dragon will definitely come, right?"
Blackbeard asked.
"No, if he really catches Luffy, then Dragon will definitely be angry, and the chance of cooperation will be small,"
Shiryu immediately shook his head.
"If we don't catch Luffy, what are we going to do?"
Blackbeard asked again.
"Captain, we only need to spread the news that we caught Luffy. Of course, we don't need to make it widely known."
"It just needs to be investigated in advance. As far as I know, the Revolutionary Army has many branches around the world. We only need to release the news on a small scale in some places where the Revolutionary Army may exist."
After Shiryu finished speaking, Blackbeard suddenly felt enlightened, realizing that this method was indeed very thoughtful and worth considering.
Because if the news is released on a large scale, it may cause unnecessary troubles.
Although Blackbeard doesn't like Luffy, he has to admit that Luffy is very popular.
Blackbeard also heard that Luffy's straw hat was given to him by Red Hair Shanks, and the red-haired arm was broken because of Luffy, which shows that their relationship is good.
In addition, during the Summit War, Blackbeard also saw many people protecting Luffy
Especially the Whitebeard Pirates, who took good care of him.
So, if he widely announced the capture of Luffy, it might draw the attention of these people.
In this way, when the time comes, it won't be detrimental to them. Therefore, a discreet release of information on a small scale will likely prompt the revolutionary army to actively reach out. This is undoubtedly a perfect plan.
"Alright, let's proceed as you suggested. This matter needs to be executed quickly. Meanwhile, continue gathering information on other supernovas during this period"
Blackbeard instructed.
As a result, the Blackbeard Pirates set their sights on other supernovas while simultaneously spreading the news of Luffy's capture in some island.
