Pirates: The higher the bounty, the stronger I am

Blackbeard looked at Ekanor, who was calm and strong, and did not seem to emit any dangerous aura. He had the intuition to recruit Ekanor as a crew member.

If he could not recruit him, he would use him as a stepping stone to exchange for the qualification of Shichibukai. If he succeeded in recruiting him, he should be able to suppress a guy with a bounty of about 100 million.

Although Blackbeard looked very rude, he was actually a sinister and strategic person. He realized that his intuition this time might not be groundless. He looked at Ekanor and laughed.

"Thief, hahahahahahahaha, what an arrogant guy, but it's okay for people with strength to be a little arrogant, but I want to ask, why are you going to sea?" There was a hint of contemplation in Ekano's eyes, and then he looked at Blackbeard and answered

"Although I have actually stood at the peak of this world that no one can reach, but no one knows, it is a bit regrettable for others. With an absolutely powerful attitude, I will defeat the so-called strong people in this world and let them know what the real peak is. That's it."

Blackbeard was stunned for a moment and couldn't help laughing.

"Hahahaha, so arrogant! What an arrogant guy, very unique!"

Blackbeard couldn't help but laugh at Ekano's remarks. In his opinion, arrogance also has to have a limit.

Defeat all the strong men in this world?

Having been in the Whitebeard Pirates for nearly half his life, he knew the strength of the Four Emperors very well. Each of the Four Emperors is a real monster, even his old and frail father, who already needs medicine to maintain his health.

As long as he uses the power of his Tremor-Tremor Fruit, he can still destroy an island with one punch. You must know that among the three legendary weapons, Pluto can only wipe out an island with one blow in the legend.

There is no need to even compare him with his father who has been betrayed by him, just the other three, such as Kaido, the Beast.

The signature move Thunder Bagua has a terrifying lethality. Even a person at the vice-emperor level will lose consciousness after being hit by his Thunder Bagua. It is hard to imagine how to defeat Kaido with an absolute crushing posture.

But he didn't laugh at Ekano, after all, he wanted to recruit Ekano as a crew member.

He looked at Ekano, opened his hands, and invited Ekano with a heroic expression and tone.

"Then why don't you join my pirate group? I've long been uncomfortable with the so-called Four Emperors, the Admirals of the Navy, and even the World Government. Come to my pirate group, and together we'll knock those guys who are seeking fame and reputation off the altar in the most ridiculous manner and become the king of the world!"

Ekano looked at him in confusion.

"So, you are inviting me? You want me to be your subordinate? That's a pity. I don't have the strange habit of letting a guy like you, who is like a stray dog on the roadside, be my boss. You can find someone else, although I don't think a weak guy like you can recruit any decent companions."

Blackbeard's face darkened. He was a little irritated by Ekano's arrogance.

"Arrogant fellow, it seems I need to teach you a lesson before you wake up."

Endless darkness spread out from behind Blackbeard and quickly spread to the surroundings.

"Dark acupuncture!"

A large number of things touched by the darkness began to sink and compress.

Blackbeard laughed wildly. After everything sank, the darkness returned to him again. He looked fiercely at Ekano who was watching his performance calmly, and became even more angry.

"Wake up! Release!"

A large number of fragments of objects that had just been swallowed by darkness poured out from the black hole behind Blackbeard and rushed out in all directions.

After releasing them, Blackbeard smiled sinisterly and quickly approached Ekano, who was already buried in a pile of debris, with his fist wrapped in darkness. He punched Ekano hard. One punch! The pile of debris was smashed into even smaller fragments that flew in all directions. The punch also caused sand and gravel to fly everywhere, smoke and dust flew everywhere, and a big pit suddenly appeared in the center of this place.

""Thief, hahahahahaha! Are you awake?"

Blackbeard laughed triumphantly, with smoke and dust flying everywhere. Although he couldn't see the specific situation clearly, Icanor, who had received his full-strength punch, must have felt uncomfortable. However, he was able to take his full-strength punch and didn't look seriously injured. Blackbeard couldn't help but be more delighted and wanted to recruit Icanor as his subordinate.

But when the smoke and dust dispersed, he was stunned when he saw Icanor who was hit by his punch.

Icanor was completely unharmed. His punch hit Icanor's arm. He stared at the place where he hit with his eyes wide open in disbelief. Unexpectedly, his punch didn't even cause a bruise!

Icanor raised his eyebrows and looked at the stunned Blackbeard.

"Is this your full strength? It's so itchy."

Eikano raised his fist high, and Blackbeard felt something was wrong.

"Then, it's my turn next, but don't let me die in one blow."

Ekanor punched Blackbeard directly on the top of his head.

Boom!

"What happened?"

"Is it an earthquake?"

All the islanders were startled. Everyone felt the sudden and violent shaking of the island.

""Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!"

Blackbeard was hit so hard that the ground he was standing on became several dozen centimeters lower. He immediately vomited a lot of blood and fell backwards. He felt as if his internal organs were shattered.

The side effects of the Dark-Dark Fruit made the pain caused by the horrible blow several times more severe.

Even though Blackbeard felt his body was about to be shattered, he couldn't help but hold his head and scream like a madman.

"Oh my, has it changed from a stray dog to a buzzing mosquito? It's really noisy."

Ikano looked at the screaming Blackbeard and stood by and watched calmly as if he was watching a play with the attitude of an absolutely strong man.

Blackbeard was���'s screams gradually became weaker, and he collapsed to the ground powerlessly.

The severe pain just now made him want to commit suicide.

He weakly raised his head and looked at Ekano who was hugging his arms, his eyes full of fear and disbelief.

How could it be possible? He felt that even his father, Whitebeard, could not punch him into the almost half-dead state just now.

Blackbeard, who was beaten into such a miserable state, almost wanted to kill Ekano the moment he decided to follow him.

He realized that he was in big trouble.

After lurking in the Whitebeard Pirates for more than 20 years and successfully obtaining the Dark-Dark Fruit, he was proud of his insidiousness and caution.

But now, he realized that he had indeed started to drift from the moment he obtained the Dark-Dark Fruit.

If he had been more cautious, how could this happen now!
