The Gambler's End

Blackbeard Teach's obsession with the 'Nagi Nagi no Mi' was very deep. He could hibernate for decades for the sake of this fruit and could live his life with the bet just like that.

However, the reason Blackbeard was able to do so was because the bet had remained. As long as it had not been opened, then he had not lost. —Although he waited a little longer, and perhaps when he passed away, the win or loss couldn't be revealed, in Blackbeard's heart, there were always these chances of winning. Even when the odds were very low, but there was always.

The appearance of Rosinante was a direct result of Blackbeard's gambling table. At this time, Blackbeard's bets also directly hit the water without any chance of winning.

In this way, Blackbeard's patience and hibernation, of course, had no meaning. On the contrary, the gambler's psychology also made him gradually become violent.

Because of this, he returned to the cabin soon and directly grabbed a small boat sailed away from the 'Moby Dick', ready to seek cooperation with Kaido and Big Mom.

However, this time, Blackbeard's chips were not much, and it could be said that there was no. It would be an open question whether Kaido and Big Mom, who are the Emperors of the New World, could agree to Blackbeard's request for cooperation.

However, for Blackbeard, these were not the focus. He only needed to capture the 'Nagi Nagi no Mi', the Devil Fruit that he had longed for.

......

At the time when Blackbeard left the Whitebeard Pirates to unite with Kaido and Big Mom, Sengoku, located in the Water 7 battlefield, also regained his footing.

Although the previous joint attack of Wexford and Bell-mere looked very magnificent, for Sengoku, it did not cause any excessive damage. Even though he was knocked down on top of the ice, Sengoku's battle power was nevertheless not weakened in the slightest.

"IMPACT WAVE!"

When he saw that Wexford was about to fall from the air, his right hand smashed directly towards Wexford with golden light.

Seeing this, Bell-mere didn't spit out her dragon breath but directly waved her wings behind her and flew towards Wexford. After the battle just now, Bell-mere knew that Sengoku's strength couldn't be underestimated. If she really let this punch hit her captain, then Wexford might be seriously injured.

However, the speed of Sengoku's fist swing was extremely fast. So when Bell-mere flew half the distance, Sengoku's fist was already about to land on Wexford's body.

"CAPTAIN!"

Bell-mere shouted, and the white dragon breath in her mouth began to start again.

BOOM!

Before Bell-mere's dragon breath attacked, Sengoku smashed his fist into the falling Wexford. However, to Sengoku's surprise, when his fist hit his opponent, it only felt like it touched a sticky mass.

"Mochi?" Sengoku looked to his right hand. At this point, his fist did not have any bloodstains on it at all. Instead, it was wrapped in a cloud of colored mochi.

"Is it Bushosoku Haki and Kenbunshoku Haki again?"

Just now, Katakuri showed the marine a powerful Kenbunshoku Haki. When Sengoku looked at it, he didn't expect that the opponent was simply more than one member with this degree of Kenbunshoku Haki.

"You guessed right."

While Sengoku was still thinking, Wexford had already appeared above Sengoku's head, and the arm covered with Bushosoku Haki that had already appeared just now fell from Sengoku's head once again.

In the face of the fast-approaching attack, Sengoku did not panic. He had already fought with Wexford once and already had a general understanding of the opponent's attack style. This time, Sengoku had already had enough mental preparation.

"I won't be knocked down a second time by the same move!" Sengoku roared, and his left hand raised violently. At this moment, the golden light on his left fist was even more than just now. If one looked at it alone, the bright light was brighter than the beam of light emitted by Borsalino's Pika Pika no Mi.

BOOM!

When Wexford's giant hand of mochi and Sengoku's giant Buddha's left arm collided, a shockwave that could not be seen by the naked eye also spread around with the two as the center of the circle.

...

After seeing this scene from afar, Moria, who participated in the battle, took a worried look at the black fog, reaching out and said, "These people are really too strong. After a few fights like this, my fog here is going to be broken up."

As a Kage Kage no Mi user, darkness was very important to Moria. If he let the Thriller Bark be exposed to the sun, then his battle power would be greatly reduced.

"It's best if you destroy this place." Hancock didn't have a good feeling about the Thriller Bark sail. If this place could be destroyed because of the battle, it would not be a good thing.

Hancock's answer made Moria stagnant, "Damn, you guys won't understand."

After saying that, Moria directly turned around and walked in towards the inside of his Thriller Bark, "I'll leave now."

The battle had gone to this extent, and Moria didn't want to get involved. For the stupid behavior of Crocodile just now, Moria was even more snickering. In this kind of time, it was better to preserve their strength.

Hancock took a look at Moria, who was leaving, and snorted. Although Hancock was not prepared to leave, she did not want to join the battlefield with Crocodile as well. —For Hancock, the marine was not a good thing. In her opinion, this group of troops who defend the interests of the World Nobel was never her companion.

If not to shelter the nation of the Amazon Lily, Hancock was determined not to join this what the Seven Warlords of the Sea.

"Sister, what do we do?" Hancock's sister, who was also one of the Kuja Pirates combatants, Sandersonia, didn't know what to do at this time.

One Warlord of the Sea wanted to fight, one Warlord of the Sea wanted to leave. So it made them, the Kuja Pirates had some difficulties for a while.

"Just wait here. If Sakazuki can come back, we will help the marine to clean up that group of pirates. If Sakazuki can not come back, we return directly to the Amazon Lily."

At this time, Sakazuki and Mihawk, who should have appeared long ago, were slow to move, which was why Hancock chose to stay put.

As long as Sakazuki did not return, it was likely that the two sides couldn't be divided into winners and losers for a short time. In the end, no matter what side won, the marine's high-end combat power would be lost, and then the marine's strength would drop sharply in a short time.

In this way, even if the Kuja Pirates did not participate in the war, the World Government would not have any action against the Seven Warlords of the Sea. After all, they still needed to maintain control of the Grand Line, and in the case of the marine's high-end battle force temporarily missing, only the Seven Warlords of the Sea could shake the scene for them.

When the marine's battle power was restored, their focus was definitely not on the first half of the Grand Line.

As long as Hancock didn't leave the battlefield like Moria, there would be no loss to the island of Kuja Pirates.
