I Have Been Sleeping Among Pirates For A Hundred Years

boom!

The explosion without warning caused a sky-high fire and a deafening sound.

The strong impact knocked the stalls aside tens of meters away, and countless flying fruits and vegetables rolled and fell to the muddy ground like rain.

Pedestrians and stall owners looked at the explosion and were stunned for a few breaths, then screamed in terror and ran away.

"what's the situation!"

Tashigi exclaimed and quickly climbed out of the bamboo basket. Following the flow of people flowing out, he hid in the shadow of a house further away and looked towards the center of the explosion.

I saw a conical shield slowly emerging from the cleared dust.

Baby-5 turned his arms and back into shields, wrapping his whole body, and slowly returned to his human form.

Although she threw away the apple in her hand as soon as she felt the danger and tried her best to protect herself, the sudden close-range explosion still caused her serious injuries.

"Hahaha!"

Accompanied by a burst of arrogant laughter, several strange and ugly pirates walked out on the roof in front of the field of vision or in the shadow of the alley.

"I have always admired your name, Blood-Eyed Joel!"

A man with a few teeth missing from his mouth and a thick body of hair walked forward. He opened his hands and continued happily, "If you don't know me, please allow me to introduce my name. My name is Marshall." .D. Teach!”

Joel stood casually, waiting for the other person's next words.

"Hahahaha! Do you know? I have always regarded your bat fruit vampire form as my first fruit choice, but I waited for a long time and never got it. Later I changed my goal and captured it. Get this Devil Fruit!"

Blackbeard clenched his fist with his right hand, and the deep darkness rolled around his fist, and his laughter became louder and louder,

"Now I know why the fruit hasn't appeared, but none of that matters anymore! Xue Tong, join forces with me, and we will divide the world equally!"

With uncontrollable ambition revealed in his expression, the turbulent darkness also continued to spread on the surface, seeming to swallow everything around him.

"It's interesting. So far, you are the only guy who has said that he wants to join forces with me."

Like a pebble dropped into the calm water, there were ripples called "interest" in Joel's eyes.

He joked, "Well...I can give you a chance to become my subordinate and serve me."

"Is that guy planning to expand his power?"

Tashigi listened from a distance, feeling a little nervous.

"Captain Teach, it seems that the negotiation has failed." Van Oka looked at Blackbeard.

"Isn't it time to fight?" Badgers showed a generous smile, "I don't know what the result will be!"

"Is it fate?" Du Q sighed.

"As expected of a man who stood at the top of the world a hundred years ago!"

Regarding the other party's rejection, Blackbeard was not angry or annoyed, but just showed a gloomy smile, "In this case, I can only try to take away your power!!"

"Yeah?"

Joel was opposite to the Blackbeard regiment who were actively preparing for battle. He calmly brushed his right hand from the inside of his cloak.

"If you can escape from my hands today, I can choose to spare your life. After all, I am also looking forward to how far your huge ambition can expand in the end."

"Hahaha! Dark water!"

In response to Joel's arrogance and rudeness, Blackbeard just laughed in response, and suddenly waved his right hand forward, the pulling power coming from his hand.

In an instant, Joel was affected by a magical pulling force and flew involuntarily towards the darkness in Blackbeard's palm.

But there was no surprised look on his face, he just nodded and said: "So this is Dark Fruit's ability?"

The black hole-like ability can cause the person with abilities to lose their abilities the moment it comes into contact with them. It can be called the natural nemesis of all Demon Fruit Powers.

This is the first time Joel has come into contact with this ability so far. The moment he thought about it, he was already sucked by this pulling force to a distance of less than ten meters in front of Blackbeard.

However, just when the latter's face showed a proud look of victory, Joel suddenly raised his bloody right hand.

Oh no!

In an instant, swarms of blood-red bats as big as sparrows swarmed out of Joel's palm, entangled Armament Haki and rushed forward.

A large number of bats turned into overwhelming shadows, and were less than ten meters away from Blackbeard in the blink of an eye.

"What!"

Blackbeard's pupils suddenly dilated. He hastily underestimated the opponent's reaction ability. At this moment, he hurriedly removed the power of Dark Water, turned around and ran away, shouting, "Hey! What's going on with these ghost things?!"

But this group of blood bats that can independently seek out the enemy's blood is like passing locusts, constantly chasing Blackbeard.

Wherever he passed, the walls of houses made of bricks and stones were easily chewed out with neat gaps like fragile tissue paper. Stalls made of linen and wooden boards were torn to pieces, and piles of fruits and vegetables were also torn apart. It was chewed until only the stumps and skin were left.

"Let me help you, Captain Teach!"

Badgers grabbed the lower edge of the wall of a three-story house. The muscles in his arms were twisted and veins were popping out.

He shouted violently, lifted it up completely, and then slammed it into the bats.

Crash--

The stone powder fell, and the house weighing dozens of tons was mercilessly penetrated by the oncoming bats. It instantly turned into a pile of empty shells. After being stagnant in the air for a few breaths, it disintegrated into a shapeless shape. A number of stones fell to the ground like hailstones.

But this blockage slowed down the attack of the bat swarm and gave Blackbeard a brief moment of respite. He turned around and opened his hands forward, looking at the bat swarm with a ferocious face: "Dark cave path!"

The darkness on his body surged in all directions in an instant, completely covering all the blood bats like a dark cloud over a city, and then swallowed them all.

"Hahaha! What an interesting attack!"

Blackbeard smiled triumphantly, and was about to use the power of darkness to compress and crush all the blood bats in his body, and then release them.

But suddenly he felt something and his expression changed.

hiss!

A wisp of flame emerged from his chest, bringing with it a hot breath. Blackbeard fluttered his hands and quickly extinguished the wisp of flame, while shouting without any image: "It's so hot, so hot, so hot!!"

"Captain Teach, how are you? You must be injured! Hahaha!"

Badgers watched Blackbeard absorb the attack, and couldn't help but let out a burst of teasing laughter.

"Of course I..."

Blackbeard put out the flames, showed his incomplete teeth and was about to answer, but suddenly his eyes shrank and his expression became extremely distorted.

The next moment, wisps of bloody flames shot out from all over his body, and instantly gathered together to form a blazing bloody fire!

The wave of scorching fire that seemed to burn out blood caused even Badgers, who was forty meters away, to subconsciously take a step back.

"The pirates of this era are really more restless than the last..."

Joel watched Blackbeard rolling around but still unable to completely extinguish the flames on his body, and then looked calmly in a certain direction.

Whoosh!

In the inaudible sound of breaking through the air, the bullets wrapped with armed colors came rapidly at an extremely tricky and concealed angle.
