05 I’ll Pay You Ten Times!

His words brought silence to the scene. 

If he had said it before, the marines would have probably laughed.

But now, they felt a chill down their spines!

"Arrogant! Win first, then you can say these big word!" 

Gion's eyes narrowed, and she took action again. The armament haki force instantly covered the renowned sword in her hand.

"Rabbit bites!"

With a sword slash, it appeared as if a giant red-eyed rabbit was charging!

In reality, it was formed by the sheer force of the sword energy!

"As expected of a candidate for the Marines Admiral, this type of attack is enough to pose a threat to me" 

Lafitte remarked with a serious expression, while holding his cane sword in hand.

"Wieehahaha, what kind of swordsman are you, Lafitte? You're just a hypnotist" 

Burgess laughed out loud.

"Rude people tend to speak rudely" 

Lafite glanced at him casually, his face showing no signs of anger.

As he spoke, the sword energy had already reached the top of the wooden ship, yet the faces of the Blackbeard Pirates showed no signs of fear.

At that moment, Teach extended his palm, thick black smoke rising from his body and directly enveloping the sword slash!

The clash of the two forces didn't cause any fluctuations!

They just stood in a silent stalemate.

"What kind of Devil Fruit power is this!"

"He nullify Vice Admirals Momousagi's attack again!"

Fear was evident on the faces of the Marine officers on the warship. 

If Vice Admiral Momousagi couldn't defeat them, would they end up being killed at sea?

Suddenly, they saw the thick black smoke releasing a powerful attraction again. 

With tremendous force, Vice Admirals Momousagi's sword attack was finally swallowed up! The hearts of all the navy were chilled.

Momousagi's expression turned serious.

"Do you think this is the end?"

Teach observed everyone's reactions with a smile on his face. He enjoyed seeing this group of people change from ignoring him to fearing him!

Then black smoke spiraled into a pillar of smoke behind him

"Liberation!"

As he spoke, the sword slash crushed by the darkness burst out chaotically from the black smoke!

"Boom!"

"Boom!!!"

"Ah!!! My arms!!!"

The warship shaken back and forth as a sword energy directly carved a crack more than ten meters long, claiming the lives of more than a dozen marines personnel.

"You all retreat, I'll hold him back!" 

Gion shouted to the warship upon witnessing the situation.

"Want to be a hero?" 

Teach shook his head at Gion, then looked at his men with a smile and said, "Seize this warship."

"Wieehahaha, now I can show off my skills!" 

Burgess grinned confidently, propelled himself, and leaped onto the warship.

Lafitte spread a pair of wings, soared to the warship, and smiled at the surrounding marines while saying: "Don't move, or you'll die. Very miserably."

"Little sister, it's your turn to face my move" 

Teach said, then leaped directly into the air on the wooden raft.

What a great opportunity!

Gion's eyes changed. She knew how to move, and fighting in the air was very advantageous for her.

Her figure disappeared in a flash, and Teach's fist connected with the empty air.

"You've exposed your flaws!"

After saying that, Gion reappeared, slashing diagonally in front of Teach with the long sword in her hand.

Blood burst out!

A smile appeared Gion's lips.

Then she witnessed black smoke emerging, enveloping Teach's body, and his wounds were completely healed!

Gion's smile suddenly froze.

"You got fooled."

Teach snatched the long sword from Gion's hand, embraced her in mid-air, and landed on the marines warship, pressing her beneath him.

"Little sister, you're still too young" 

Blackbeard looked at Momousagi below and said with a smile.

"Let me go!"

Gion's face turned red as she was pressed under him, and her eyes glared at him angrily.

"Zeehahaha, now she looks like a woman. What did she look like when she was fighting and killing before?"

Teach held Momousagi down firmly and laughed.

"You wanna die! Let me go, you beast!"

No matter how hard she struggled, she wasn't as strong as Teach 

"Tell me, how much does the Marines pay you per month? If you join me, I'll pay you ten times that!" 

Teach said with a light smile.

"Wieehahaha, boss, you're so funny!" 

Burgess laughed heartily.

"Captain, offering 100 times the salary is fine. After all, we're so broke right now that we can't even afford food to eat! A ha ha ha!" 

Lafitte covered his mouth and laughed.

"Pooh!"

Momousagi spat on Teach's face in anger.

"Pfft, Zeehahaha."

Teach wasn't angry at all. After a moment of surprise, he looked at his men and laughed again: "Is this an indirect kiss?"

"Hahaha! Cough, cough, cough! Hahaha!!"

This time, even Doc Q laughed out loud, then coughed weakly while still laughing.

"No more! Captain, you want to laugh me to death!"

Burgess lay on the ground, and the deck echoed with the thud of his fist.

Soon, Gion was tied up by him and thrown aside. 

She looked confused. She had anticipated the worst, but that didn't happen.

After tying her up, he once again ignored her, a stark contrast to the teasing from before.

The difference between before and after made her find it a bit unbelievable.

The remaining marines on the warship crouched, hands on their heads, trembling. Ace glared angrily at Teach.

Teach leaned back comfortably in a chair, drinking a small drink.

"Captain, this is the Den-Den Mushi for contacting Marine Headquarters."

Burgess then came over, holding a Den Den Mushi in his hand.

Upon seeing that, Teach wore a devilish smile that sent shivers down the spines of the marines!
