Pirates: Building a Pirate Family.

Hannibal roared at the top of his lungs. Even though he was covered in wounds and blood was gushing out of his wounds, he still stood there firmly, using his body to block Luffy's way forward.

Luffy clenched his teeth tightly, his eyes staring angrily at the stubborn opponent in front of him.

Just when the two sides were in a stalemate, something unexpected happened - black fog suddenly emerged from the passage leading to the second floor, like a giant black dragon with bared fangs and claws, spreading rapidly at lightning speed.

In an instant, the jailers in the passage were swallowed up mercilessly by the terrifying black fog before they could even scream. They disappeared without a trace.

"To me, Ace's life is more important than anything else, so everyone, get out of my way!"

Luffy's eyes widened and he shouted at the top of his lungs, his voice seemed to be able to penetrate all the walls.

"Humph, it's useless to talk to an idiot!"

Hannibal responded with disdain, but before he could finish his words, a sharp scream suddenly rang out from behind him.

"Ok?"

Hannibal was startled and turned his head sharply.

The black fog that was originally pervasive behind him seemed to have life, madly devouring his men bit by bit.

Those men who seemed so majestic and awe-inspiring on a daily basis were now completely powerless to fight back and could only let out desperate and miserable cries.

Hannibal was so frightened by the scene that his face turned pale. He turned around subconsciously.

"What's wrong with you? What happened?"

Hannibal asked anxiously.

However, before he could get a response from his men, he heard a deafening roar from deep in the passage: "Shut up, everyone!"

"Don't talk about justice and evil. Even if you search the whole world, there is no answer. It's so boring!"

Blackbeard stepped on Hannibal and crushed him under his feet.

When he fully appeared in front of everyone, everyone couldn't help but gasp.

“It turned out to be that guy!”

Luffy widened his eyes and looked at the person who came in astonishment.

It turned out that this person was the Blackbeard whom they had encountered on Gaya Island - Marshall D. Teach.

At this moment, Blackbeard looked even more powerful and terrifying than before, and his hideous smile was chilling.

Blackbeard's eyes were as sharp as torches as he scanned the group of people in front of him, passing over the faces of Straw Hat Luffy, Eustace Kidd, Trafalgar Law, Demon King Ivankov, and Sea Man Jinpei in turn.

"Wow! I didn't expect so many big shots would gather here! It's so interesting to see how busy you all are! Hahahahaha!"

Accompanied by a burst of extremely arrogant laughter, a burly man with a fleshy face and a black beard appeared in front of everyone.

As soon as Jinbei saw Blackbeard appear, his face suddenly changed, and his pair of iron fists clenched tightly unconsciously, and the joints turned slightly white due to excessive force.

He glared at Blackbeard with his eyes spitting fire, and asked through gritted teeth: "Teach, why are you here? No, I should call you Blackbeard now!"

Hearing the word "Blackbeard", Luffy, who was standing aside, was stunned at first, and then he instantly fixed his eyes on Teach, as if he was a lit powder keg, and his eyes seemed to be spewing fire.

"Jinbei, don't be so fierce. You look so scary. Can you please unclench your fist first? But then again, you and Ace have always had a good relationship, right? It's a pity that if you resent me for this, you're totally wrong! Hahahahaha!"

Blackbeard paid no attention to Jinbe's anger and continued to let out that disgusting laugh.

Luffy was seen walking towards Blackbeard step by step, each step filled with anger and hatred, while his hands gradually clenched into fists.

At this time, Luffy had already walked up to Blackbeard.

Luffy glared and shouted at Blackbeard angrily: "You are Blackbeard!"

Facing Luffy's question, Blackbeard showed a teasing smile on his face and asked back: "Why? Haven't I formally introduced myself to you yet?"

Then he burst into laughter again, "Hahahahahaha, long time no see, Straw Hat Boy!"

After saying this, Blackbeard raised the corners of his mouth high, revealing a sinister and complacent look.

"I was shocked too. I didn't expect that you would be the younger brother of my captain Ace! Hehehe, is there no problem with you staying here? Time is running out. It's about to start. That's the public execution of your big brother - Ace! Hahahahahaha!"

An extremely sinister and complacent smile appeared on Blackbeard's ferocious face at this moment, as if everything was under his control.

When Luffy heard this, his eyes widened instantly and his teeth clenched together, making a "clack" sound.

His body was shaking violently with anger. The rage in his heart was like a volcano, constantly accumulating strength and seemed ready to erupt at any time.

Seeing this, Blackbeard laughed even more wildly, "You know what? My original target was actually you, Luffy. As long as I could catch you, I could use this achievement to become one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea. But who could have thought that fate would be so amazing! Just when I was about to attack you, your good brother Ace suddenly appeared in front of me and blocked the disaster for you without hesitation. Otherwise, the person tied to the execution platform waiting for death at this moment would be you! Hahahahahahahaha!"

After saying that, Blackbeard raised his head and laughed wildly again. His laughter echoed in the air, making people feel creepy.

After hearing these words, the anger in Luffy's chest burned to the extreme, almost swallowing him whole.

He clenched his teeth so tightly that his gums bled from the excessive force. His eyes were fixed on Blackbeard. His gaze was as sharp as a knife, as if he wanted to pierce through the other's flesh and straight into his soul.

"There are no accidents in fate, that is to say..."

Van Oka, who had been standing aside and watching coldly, also spoke slowly at this time.

Lafayette also looked at Luffy with contempt, as if the man in front of him was just a lamb to be slaughtered. He sneered and said, "Now that our captain has successfully become one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea, your life is insignificant to us!"

There was disdain and sarcasm in his words.
