Blackbeard Teach's obsession with the 'Dark Fruit' is very deep. He can lie dormant for decades for this fruit, and he can live his whole life with a bet.
But the reason why Blackbeard can do this is because the bet is always there. As long as the market has not opened, he has not lost yet. Although his waiting time will be a bit long, and the victory or defeat may not be revealed when he passes away, there is always a chance of winning in Blackbeard's heart. Although the chance of winning is very low, there is still a chance.
The appearance of Rosinandi directly overturned Blackbeard's gambling table. At this time, Blackbeard's bet was directly in vain, and there was no chance of winning at all.
In this way, Blackbeard's forbearance and dormancy are of course meaningless, and the gambler's mentality also makes him gradually become violent.
Because of this, he grabbed a small boat and sailed away from the 'Moby-Dick' shortly after returning to the cabin, preparing to seek cooperation with Kaido and Big Mom.
However, Blackbeard does not have many chips this time, or it can be said that he has none at all. Kaido and Big Mom are both emperors of the new world, so it is of course unknown whether they can agree to Blackbeard's request for cooperation.
But for Blackbeard, these are not the point. He only needs to win his 'Darkness Fruit', the devil fruit that he has been dreaming about day and night.
... ... ... ...
Just when Blackbeard left the Whitebeard Pirates to join Kaido and Big Mom, the Sengoku on the battlefield of the Water City also stood up again.
Although the joint attack of Wanxiu and Bellemere looked very gorgeous, it did not cause too much damage to Sengoku. Even though he was knocked down on the ice, Sengoku's combat power was not weakened at all.
"Buddha Fist!"
Warring States stood up without saying much. When he saw Wan Xiu about to fall from mid-air, he struck directly at Wan Xiu with his golden right hand.
Bellemere, who was directly in front of the Warring States Period, saw this and didn't bother to spit out his dragon breath. Instead, he waved his wings behind him and flew towards Wan Xiu.
After the battle just now, Bellemel also knew that Sengoku's strength should not be underestimated. If this punch really hit his captain, Wan Xiu might be directly hit hard.
However, Sengoku's punch was extremely fast. When Bellemeier had just flown halfway, Sengoku's fist was about to fall on Wanxiu.
"captain!"
Bellmere roared, and the white dragon's breath in his mouth began to prepare again.
"boom!"
Before Bellmere's dragon breath attack, Sengoku punched the falling Wanxiu.
But what surprised Sengoku was that when his fist hit the opponent, he only felt that it touched a sticky mass.
"New Year Cake?" Warring States looked at his right hand. There was no blood stain on his fist at this time. Instead, it was wrapped in a ball of colored rice cake.
"Is it seeing and hearing again?"
Of course, Sengoku saw the powerful and powerful knowledge that Katakuri showed to the navy just now, but what he didn't expect was that there was more than one member of the opponent with this level of knowledge.
"you guessed right."
While Warring States was still thinking, Wanxiu had appeared above Warring States' head, and the armed and domineering arm that had appeared just now fell from Warring States' head again.
Faced with the rapid attack, Zeng Guo did not panic. He had already punched Wan Xiu once and had a general understanding of the opponent's attack method. This time, Warring States was sufficiently mentally prepared.
"I won't be knocked down by the same move a second time!"
Sengoku roared angrily and raised his left hand suddenly. The golden light on his left fist was even brighter than before. If you just looked at it, the light was brighter than the light beam emitted by Kizaru's Flash Fruit.
"Bang!"
When Wan Xiu's giant rice cake hand collided with the left arm of Sengoku's giant Buddha, a shock wave invisible to the naked eye also spread out around the two people.
When Moria, who was not participating in the battle in the distance, saw this scene, he glanced at the thick black fog that stretched out his hand with worry, and said: "These people are really too strong. After fighting like this several times, the fog here will be gone." To be broken up."
As a shadow fruit user, darkness is very important to Moria. If the terrifying three-masted sail is exposed to the sun, his combat power will be greatly reduced.
"It would be best if your place was destroyed." Hancock didn't like the Terror Barque at all. If this place could be destroyed due to fighting, that would be a good thing.
Hancock's answer made Moriah pause, "Damn it, you won't understand."
After saying that, Moria turned around and walked into his terrifying three-masted sail.
"I'm leaving." The battle was going on to this extent, and Moria didn't want to get involved.
Moria even sneered at Crocodile's stupid behavior just now. At this time, it was better to preserve his own strength.
"Hmph." Hancock glanced at Moriah who was leaving and snorted coldly.
Although Hancock was not prepared to leave directly like Moriah, he also had no intention of joining the battlefield like Crocodile.
The Navy wasn't a good thing for Hancock either. In her opinion, this group of troops who protect the interests of the Tianlong people are by no means her companions. If he didn't want to protect the people of Nine Snake Island, Hancock would never join this Shichibukai.
"Sister, what should we do?" Hancock's sister, Sandasonia, who is also one of the combatants of the Nine Snakes Pirates, also didn't know what to do at this time.
One Shichibukai wanted to fight, and another Shichibukai wanted to leave, which made it a little difficult for them, the Nine Snakes Pirates, for a while.
"Just wait here. If Akainu can come back, we will help the navy clean up the group of pirates. If Akainu can't come back, we will return directly to Kuji Island." Hancock glanced at the frozen place where Aokiji was. In the channel, Akainu and Hawkeye, who should have appeared long ago, have yet to move. This is why Hancock chose to stand still.
As long as Akainu does not return, it is likely that the two sides will not be able to determine the winner in a short time. No matter which side wins in the end, the navy's high-end combat power will suffer heavy losses, and the navy's strength will also drop sharply in a short period of time.
And in this way, even if the Nine Snakes Pirates did not participate in the war, the World Government would not take any action against the Shichibukai. After all, they still need to maintain control of the Grand Route, and with the navy's high-end combat power temporarily absent, only the Shichibukai can shake things up for them.
When the navy's combat power is restored, their focus will definitely not be on the first half of the Grand Line.
As long as Hancock doesn't leave before the battle like Moria, there will be no loss to Kuji Island.
