I, Blackbeard, Start By Asking For Dark Fruit

"Thief hahahaha————"

Blackbeard couldn't help laughing when he heard this.

Icarim from behind frowned when he saw the other party laughing at Princess Vivi like this, and suddenly said in a deep voice:

"Mr. Teach, why are you laughing?"

"Don't you think it's funny that a princess from a superpower like Alabasta seeks help from a pirate like me to save her country?"

Blackbeard smiled at Ikarim and Vivi, who had astonished faces:

"I'm a pirate, you two!

Did you misunderstand something?

You don’t think that just because I casually saved these people on Aska Island, you think I’m some kind of messenger of justice? "

Ikarem was about to speak, but the serious Vivi raised her hand to stop her. The girl looked at Blackbeard seriously and said:

"Sir Teach, of course I know the rules of pirates!

So I said, as long as Lord Teach can help me save Alabasta, I am willing to give anything! "

Blackbeard looked Vivi up and down and then smiled:

"Are you willing to give anything, including yourself?"

Hearing this, Ikarem was immediately furious. Several barrels immediately stretched out from his golden curly hair and pointed at Blackbeard and shouted:

"Presumptuous! You..."

"Icarem, stand down!!!"

Vivi scolded.

"Your Highness Vivi!"

Ikarem turned to look at Vivi. Under the latter's stern gaze, he immediately lowered his head and retreated to the back:

"I understand, Your Highness Vivi."

As Ikarem fell silent, the only sounds left in the place were the sound of Blackbeard drinking, and the snoring of Van Oka and Badgers.

After a moment of silence, Vivi looked up at Blackbeard with determination and said solemnly:

"As long as Mr. Teach helps me save Alabasta, then it doesn't matter if I sacrifice my body!"

After she finished speaking, she actually stretched out her hand to high-five Blackbeard.

Seeing this scene, Blackbeard couldn't help but be stunned for a moment. He just made a casual joke, but he didn't expect this girl to be so decisive.

Seeing this, Blackbeard laughed and said:

"Interesting, interesting!

The atmosphere has reached this point. Isn’t it unreasonable for me not to agree? "

After saying this, he no longer hesitated, raised his palm as big as a cattail leaf fan and patted it lightly with his small white hand.

Snapped!

Seeing Blackbeard agree, Vivi finally let out a long sigh of relief.

Making an appointment to set out together tomorrow, she and Ikarem headed towards the harbor where the ships were moored.

After leaving the central square of the village, Ikarem could no longer bear it and said:

"Your Highness Vivi, how could you make such a ridiculous decision!? If King Kobra knew..."

"Icarim!"

Vivi sighed and interrupted him again, then said in a deep voice:

"How do you think we can win against the powerful and monster-like Crocodile and his Baroque Studio?

There is no way!

Icarim, we are too weak!

If that sand crocodile hadn't wanted to take down Alabasta in a peaceful way, I'm afraid my father would have

So, don’t say anything anymore!

Compared to the whole of Alabasta, who am I? "

Plop!

Hearing this, Ikarem immediately knelt down beside Vivi and said painfully:

"Your Highness Vivi, your subordinate is incompetent!"

"Icarem! How can I blame you?"

Vivi was startled and immediately lifted Ikarem up and sighed:

"In this world where the jungle prevails, we Alabasta will be beaten if we don't have enough strength to protect ourselves!"

Having said this, she paused and suddenly smiled and said:

“Besides, I didn’t agree to Master Teach’s conditions just because of his great strength!

It’s not like I did nothing in the Baroque studio all these years.

Among them, I know a lot of information about the Whitebeard Pirates.

This pirate group is one of the Four Emperors of the New World. Their captain, Whitebeard-Edward Newgate, is not only the strongest man in the world, but the country he protects is now very safe!

Even the much-discriminated The fish men island is protected by his flag, and no pirate dares to make a mistake!

The most important thing is that the sand crocodile returned to the Grand Line from the New World because he failed to challenge Whitebeard!

It was the combination of these factors that made me choose to agree to Master Teach’s conditions.

Just sacrificing me alone can save the entire Alabasta. This is the best way, isn't it Ikarem? "

After hearing what Vivi said, Ikarem was dumbfounded, but tears flowed out of his eyes involuntarily.

In the square behind.

Blackbeard raised the corner of his mouth:

"Did you grow up from this incident? Nefertari D. Vivi...

Forget it, Alabasta will talk about it later.

Let me study this Seven Star Sword carefully first. "

As he spoke, Blackbeard had put down the wine jar, placed the Seven Star Sword squarely on his knees, placed his hands on the hilt and body of the sword, closed his eyes and began to feel it.

Soon, the strange energy from before immediately poured into his body.

Blackbeard did not use Haki to isolate him this time, but felt the information brought by this strange energy.

He himself possesses a powerful Haki. Although this demonic energy is powerful, it is still far from being able to influence him!

Soon, the previous information flooded into his mind again.

The figure of a man with long white hair holding a seven-star sword appeared in his mind.

This is a great swordsman from hundreds of years ago.

Soon, information about him gradually poured into Blackbeard's mind.

Sephiroth, a great swordsman who crossed the sea hundreds of years ago.

Because the swordsmanship he practiced was too evil, he was later called the Demon Sword Sephiroth.

Later, he traveled to Wanokuni and accepted a young man with outstanding swordsmanship as his apprentice.

The boy's name is: Shimotsuki Ryoma.

After teaching Ryoma swordsmanship for two and a half years, he left again to continue his journey.

I mistakenly ate the [Paramecia-Blessing Fruit] on an island on the way. I originally thought that becoming a landlubber was a very bad thing.

However, Sephiroth did not expect that this Devil Fruit would raise his strength to another level again!

Because of the ability of this [Blessing Fruit], it can not only bless one's own abilities on a person or object, but can also superimpose abilities!

This is undoubtedly a terrifying increase for Sephiroth, who is already a great swordsman.

And now the vision of the Seven Star Sword and Aska Island is the reason why Sephiroth blessed all Haki and kendo, and even part of his own soul, into this [Blessing Fruit] before his death.

It is precisely for this reason that only the strong can subdue the Seven Star Sword and not be controlled by its weird abilities!

After learning this information, Blackbeard couldn't help but be amazed.

What he didn't expect even more was that Shimotsuki Ryoma, Wanokuni's patron saint, turned out to be Sephiroth's apprentice!

"I really discovered an interesting secret!"

Blackbeard looked at the Seven Star Sword in his hand and nodded with satisfaction:

"It seems that with the kendo experience of this weapon and the Conqueror's Haki inside, I should be able to master the kendo quickly.

Of course, the most important thing is Conqueror's Haki, this is the real reward!

Hahaha----"
