Dong~ Dong~ Dong~~~ (Bell ringing)

"Teach, you're awake? Looks like the surgery was a success!"

I touch my face.

I feel the missing teeth.

Slowly sitting up, I look at myself in the large mirror across from the bed.

After confirming with my eyes, it's the person from my memories!

Oh crap, I've become Blackbeard?

How could I possibly transmigrate into this ugly bastard Blackbeard!

Impossible, absolutely impossible!

I must be too exhausted from working overtime.

It's just a fleeting dream, nothing more!

I close my eyes.

I open my eyes.

Closing my eyes again.

Opening them once more.

"..."

Smack! Smack! Smack! (Slapping face to confirm)

Thatch, who was originally sitting beside Blackbeard's bed with a grin, dressed in a white chef's uniform with a yellow neckerchief tied around his neck and sporting a pompadour hairstyle, instantly panicked and rushed out of the cabin while shouting:

"Holy shit! Marco, Teach has gone mad! Come quick and see what the hell is going on!"

Inside the cabin.

"Damn, that really hurts! Looks like it's all real."

"What the f*ck, even though I'm a corporate slave, I really didn't want to transmigrate to this chaotic Great Pirate Era!"

"For f*ck's sake! What kind of screwed up situation is this, why me————"

Hu Zhi... No, to be precise, he had already become Blackbeard - Marshall D. Teach.

After a bout of complaining, he quickly accepted the fact that he had become Blackbeard.

In any case, in his previous life, he was the sole breadwinner for his entire family. Now that things had turned out this way, what else could he do?

Besides, even if he hadn't tasted pork, hadn't he at least seen a pig run?

Having been tempered by various online novels of the 21st century, his spirit was already as hard as iron!

He very naturally accepted his current identity. (It's not like he had a choice anyway)

Actually, as Blackbeard, he had already woken up long ago. Before this, he had also fully received Blackbeard's memories and circumstances.

The whole affair was quite simple.

The 4th Division led by Thatch of the Whitebeard Pirates had encountered a secret transaction between the Big Mom Pirates and the Beast Pirates.

Then, in order to silence them, the Big Mom Pirates and Beast Pirates directly launched an attack on the 4th Division that Thatch and Blackbeard belonged to.

Originally, with the combined strength of the Big Mom Pirates and Beast Pirates, they would have been sufficient to annihilate the 4th Division led by Thatch. However, they hadn't expected that apart from Thatch, the 4th Division actually had another hidden dragon - Blackbeard.

Furthermore, Blackbeard still wanted to continue concealing his true strength, so he could only hide his abilities while helping Thatch and the others escape.

As a result, unexpectedly, Katakuri and Charlotte Oven launched a sneak attack, and Blackbeard, who was still playing the pig to eat the tiger, truly became a pig.

Being simultaneously hit in the head and body by the attacks of the two caused his soul to be shattered!

Fortunately, Marco arrived in time, otherwise whether he could have transmigrated and become Blackbeard would have been a different matter altogether.

After accepting the memories, Teach couldn't help but sigh. If you play the pig for too long, you really can easily turn into a pig!

Actually, after accepting these memories earlier, Teach already had a plan in mind.

Now that he had become Blackbeard and had this opportunity to escape death, he would seize this chance to re-establish the identity of [Marshall D. Teach]within the Whitebeard Pirates!

So what if he was Blackbeard? As long as he trained well from now on and shed this body's excess fat, at least he could still look like a human.

As for the missing teeth...

As everyone knows, in the world of pirates, you just need to drink milk to regrow teeth!

Moreover, not only did Blackbeard's misshapen body have an extremely strong recovery ability, it also had a good foundation.

Especially his Armament Haki, which had already reached the high-level of full-body intangible armor and internal destruction. Before eating a Devil Fruit, even if he wasn't at the level of a Vice Captain, he at least had the strength of an elite Admiral!

This was undoubtedly very good news for him who had just transmigrated.

Dong~ Dong~ Dong~~~

"Hmm? This bell sound again?"

Blackbeard frowned. Just as he wanted to investigate the bell sound that kept ringing in his mind, a series of footsteps came from outside.

Tap tap tap————

Bang!

Very soon, a group of people rushed in.

Naturally, the one leading them was that familiar face Blackbeard knew very well, the one he had seen countless times in anime and manga in his previous life - Marco the Phoenix.

Marco the Phoenix - 1st Division Commander of the Whitebeard Pirates, and also the acting ship doctor of the Whitebeard Pirates.

"Teach, do you feel uncomfortable anywhere right now?"

Seeing Marco anxiously and worriedly patting and touching his obese body here and there, he, who had now become Blackbeard, felt a bit uncomfortable.

But he still forcibly put on an awkward yet polite smile:

"Zehahaha————, don't worry Marco, I'm doing great!"

"Nonsense! Marco, as soon as I came in, I saw Teach slapping himself!"

Thatch took a step forward into an exaggerated lunge posture, pointed at Teach with both hands, then turned his head to complain to Marco.

Eh!!!

Ace, Vista, Jinbe, Izo and the others who followed behind were all shocked, their mouths gaping wide open, followed by a burst of laughter.

"Teach can do that too?"

"Quick, Teach, slap yourself a couple more times to amuse us."

"Teach, what the hell are you doing!"

Seeing this, Teach couldn't help but smile wryly as he raised his hand to pat his forehead, then solemnly looked at Thatch and the others and said:

"Commander Thatch, I was just regretting that I couldn't save more of our brothers."

Hearing this, the laughter in the room instantly fell silent.

Then Blackbeard felt that the gazes directed at him had changed a little.

Soon, through his Observation Haki, Blackbeard sensed a hint of respect in their emotions as they looked at him.

After all, Blackbeard had indeed risked his life to cover the retreat for his brothers, and now with those words, it had an outstanding effect!

Seeing this, Teach secretly breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that the honest persona Blackbeard had established before was quite good.

However, he still had to thank his old pal Blackbeard for laying a solid foundation by playing the pig to eat the tiger, which gave him this opportunity.

Looking at it this way, he had a bit more confidence in his future plans.

Upon hearing Teach's previous words, Thatch, who had been a bit playful earlier, also put away his expression. He stood up and patted Blackbeard on the shoulder, saying with a heavy heart:

"Teach, you don't need to blame yourself. You already did your best. This is all the fault of me, the commander, for not protecting the other brothers."

Seeing this, Ace immediately shouted in shared resentment:

"Don't worry Thatch-bro, given the chance, I'll definitely help you strike back!"

Blackbeard looked at Ace and sighed:

"Ace, my young brother, it's not that easy. This matter is not so simple."

Hearing this, Ace was instantly dissatisfied and said:

"Teach, how can you boost others' morale while diminishing your own prestige..."

Smack!

Before Ace could finish speaking, Marco interrupted him with a slap to the head:

"Ace, Teach is right. We need to plan for the long-term regarding this matter."

After a pause, Marco swept his gaze over the pensive crowd, then fixed his eyes on Blackbeard and said with a smile:

"Since Teach is fine, everyone should leave first. Let's give him a couple more days to recuperate quietly without disturbing him."

Hearing Marco's words, everyone nodded in agreement.

Just as everyone was about to leave, Blackbeard looked at Thatch to the side and said:

"Commander Thatch, there's something I'd like to discuss with you."
