"Even if you die a hundred times, Akira won't die. He said that your head will definitely be taken by him personally."
Blackbeard laughed heartily and said, "Zehahaha, what an arrogant tone. I never say that something is impossible to happen, because in this world, anything can happen. However, I would like to know, if he doesn't have the support of you people, will he still have the ability to kill me?"
Marco didn't show any fear at all, and said coldly, "Originally, we had all agreed to let Akira take your head to commemorate Pops, but now we can only break our promise, because today, here, we will take your head to avenge Pops."
"Avenge Pops! Avenge Pops! Kill Blackbeard!"
"Avenge! Avenge..."
The pirates of the Whitebeard Pirates all roared angrily, staring at Blackbeard with red eyes, wishing they could cut Blackbeard into a thousand pieces, because these people were the most loyal group of people in the Whitebeard Pirates, and had all received Whitebeard's great kindness. So, for Whitebeard, they were willing to risk their lives.
"Zehahaha..."
Seeing the appearance of these pirates of the Whitebeard Pirates, Blackbeard laughed triumphantly. He had once been a member of this group of people, but now, he was standing at the peak of the pirate world. In his eyes, these people were just clowns. The only people he could put in his eyes were Marco and a limited few others.
"It seems these guys really hate you to the extreme, Captain."
A person behind Blackbeard suddenly spoke, his tone somewhat teasing. It was the former warden of Impel Down, and current captain of the second ship of the Blackbeard Pirates, Shiryu of the Rain.
"So what? Even if they hate me, they can't do anything to Captain. On the contrary, their own lives will now be decided by Captain," said the captain of the first ship, the fighting champion, Burgess, laughing arrogantly.
Blackbeard waved his hand, and said arrogantly, "Enough nonsense, Marco. From today onwards, the Whitebeard Pirates will cease to exist, because you will all be killed by me. I'll kill you all first, and then find that kid Akira, and kill him. The position of Yonko left behind by Whitebeard will be ascended by me, and can only be ascended by me."
"Little ones, kill them!"
Burgess shouted excitedly, "Destroy the Whitebeard Pirates, and we'll be the Yonko pirate crew of the New World. Kill them all!"
The Blackbeard Pirates were a group of extremely vicious existences, especially the captains and leaders of each ship, who were even more notorious figures. Each of them had a heavy killing intent. So, after receiving Blackbeard's order, they all roared excitedly, and charged towards the Whitebeard Pirates.
Seeing the Blackbeard Pirates start to move, Marco also roared angrily, "Brothers, the time to avenge Pops has come! Kill Blackbeard! Those who aren't afraid of death, charge with me!"
"Kill!"
Several thousand people roared at the same time, the sound was absolutely earth-shattering. This island, which the Whitebeard Pirates had chosen to station as a temporary base, wasn't very large. Most importantly, it wasn't suitable for long-term survival. So, there was no one else on this island besides the Whitebeard Pirates and the Blackbeard Pirates. No matter how intense the fighting was, it wouldn't cause too much commotion.
After the Whitebeard Pirates and the Blackbeard Pirates came into contact with each other, they all unleashed their strongest power and fought each other. However, at the moment of contact, many people died under the other's blades.
"Zehahaha..."
Seeing this scene, Blackbeard didn't feel any pity for his own people being killed in battle. Instead, he laughed excitedly. He was an extremely evil man. This kind of scene would only excite him, and wouldn't make him feel disgusted or heartbroken.
"Little ones, kill them fiercely for me! Whoever kills the most people, I will reward him handsomely."
Hearing Blackbeard's loud shout, the pirates of the Blackbeard Pirates shouted even more excitedly, and became even more ruthless, making the entire battlefield extremely chaotic and bloody. Almost every second, someone died.
The ones fighting now were only the pirates under both pirate crews. The real leaders, such as Blackbeard and Marco, hadn't participated in the war yet, only staring warily at each other.
The battle between the two pirate crews could be said to be very fierce. Actually, the Blackbeard Pirates still had a certain advantage in terms of numbers, because now, the Whitebeard Pirates only had the people of the Whitebeard Pirates' main crew left behind, because Akira had let those captains return to their own territories. The remaining people had only recently returned, and were far from reaching the peak number.
And because of Blackbeard's recent strong rise, many pirates had joined them, especially those pirates who had been suppressed very miserably by the Whitebeard Pirates before. Many of them had all joined the Blackbeard Pirates. This time, Blackbeard had brought all his manpower over, wanting to destroy the Whitebeard Pirates. So, they naturally had the advantage in numbers.
However, although the Blackbeard Pirates had the advantage in numbers, they didn't have any advantage in the actual fighting, because there were many people in the Blackbeard Pirates, but they were basically fighting on their own. The Whitebeard Pirates, on the other hand, had fewer people, but they had cooperation with each other. So, when fighting, the Whitebeard Pirates were actually easier.
Watching the pirates under his command constantly die, Blackbeard was still unmoved. To him, there were countless of these bottom-level pirates. He wouldn't feel any pity at all. For him, it was best to use these people's lives to wear down the Whitebeard Pirates.
Blackbeard could endure it, but that didn't mean that others could also endure it. They saw the captain of the first ship under his command, the fighting champion Burgess, suddenly shouting loudly, "Captain, such an intense battle is making my blood boil! I can't hold back anymore."
Blackbeard laughed heartily and said, "If you can't hold back, then go!"
Blackbeard didn't refuse Burgess's challenge. Instead, he encouraged him. So, Burgess shouted excitedly, and then charged into the battlefield.
As the captain of the first ship of the Blackbeard Pirates, Burgess's strength was naturally very strong. As soon as he charged into the battlefield, the pirates of the Whitebeard Pirates were difficult to resist, their formation being disrupted by his charge, suffering heavy casualties.
Seeing this situation, Marco's expression immediately became ugly. He didn't hesitate, saying to the division commanders beside him, "The executives under Blackbeard have already taken action. We can't hesitate either. Everyone, let's go together and take down the Blackbeard Pirates in one fell swoop."
Hearing Marco's words, the division commanders of the Whitebeard Pirates all responded with solemn expressions, and then quickly charged into the battlefield. With the addition of these division commanders, the Whitebeard Pirates' momentum suddenly increased, pressing towards the Blackbeard Pirates.
Seeing Marco and the others all take action, Blackbeard laughed heartily and said, "Those guys Marco can't hold back anymore. But that's fine too, little ones. It's time for us to enter the stage..."
Under Blackbeard's orders, several captains under his command, such as Shiryu and Laffitte, all started to move. Their target was naturally the division commander-level figures of the Whitebeard Pirates.
With the entry of the executives from both sides, this war immediately entered a white-hot stage. The division commanders of the Whitebeard Pirates were also facing off against the captains of the Blackbeard Pirates. The Blackbeard Pirates currently had nine captains in total, while the Whitebeard Pirates' division commanders totaled more than ten people. However, the division commanders who were ranked lower were no match for those people of the Blackbeard Pirates in a one-on-one fight. So, some were one-on-one, and some were two-on-one. In short, they had all found their opponents.
For example, Vista, who was also a great swordsman, was facing off against Shiryu. Thatch was facing off against Laffitte of the Blackbeard Pirates. The others had also found their respective opponents. And Ace, who was a relatively powerful division commander of the Whitebeard Pirates, was even fighting Burgess of the Blackbeard Pirates single-handedly. It had to be said that Ace's strength was really very strong. Although Burgess was a fighting champion, he was suppressed by him in a very short period of time.
"Teach!"
As the temporary leader, Marco suddenly used his ability, transforming into a phoenix, soaring into the sky, and charging towards Blackbeard, carrying an extremely strong morale.
"Zehahaha..."
Seeing Marco charging towards him, Blackbeard laughed heartily, and shouted, "You want to kill me? Then let me show you Whitebeard's power first!!"
They saw Blackbeard suddenly unleash a punch towards the location in the air where Marco was charging over. In an instant, cracks appeared in the atmosphere in front of him. Marco, who was flying rapidly, only felt a powerful tremor coming towards him, instantly hitting his body, and forcefully pushing his body back, forcing him to quickly fall from the sky, the blue flames on his body also becoming dim.
"Severe Earthquake"
"Zehahaha..."
Seeing Marco being pushed back by his attack, Blackbeard revealed an extremely arrogant laugh, "How is it, Marco? How is my power compared to Whitebeard's? Is it even stronger than his? Zehahaha..."
Marco, having been pushed back by Blackbeard's punch, had a very ugly expression. He was the one who understood the Gura Gura no Mi the most among the Whitebeard Pirates. When that powerful force hit him through the air vibration just now, it had indeed made his qi and blood churn. However, his phoenix fruit ability was also very strong. He had recovered in a very short period of time.
But although he wasn't injured, he was very unhappy in his heart, because that guy Blackbeard was actually using Whitebeard's power to attack him. To him, who had always respected Whitebeard, this made him so angry that he was about to explode.
