126 Proposal To Fight

If they don't prepare for war now, when else would be the right time?

Blackbeard's actions today left everyone feeling confused.

At this moment, several people exchanged puzzled looks. What was Blackbeard up to? The Big Mom Pirates' ship was almost at Beehive Island, and many of them were armed with powerful weapons.

Would these people survive if they landed on Beehive Island?

"Captain, we're here to protect you."

Blackbeard glanced at them, confident that he could ensure his own safety. After all, the Big Mom pirates were about to fall into his carefully laid trap.

At that moment, Blackbeard gazed down into the depths of the sea.

The Sea Kings lurked beneath the waves, awaiting Blackbeard's command.

Beneath the waves, the colossal Sea Kings loomed like submerged mountains. Though invisible to the naked eye, Blackbeard could discern their presence with a mere glance towards the sea.

Thirty Sea Kings gathered beneath the sea, their massive forms waited in silent anticipation for their master's command.

Observing the gradual approach of the Big Mom Pirates' ship towards his carefully laid trap, a confident grin spread across Blackbeard's face.

Right now, the eleven titanic captains standing behind Blackbeard couldn't fathom why he was laughing at that moment.

Death is drawing near, inching closer.

Blackbeard faces it without fear.

It's truly puzzling.

"I don't think my crew and army are not needed for this. Just you and me, fight. Let's agree on a month. If I defeat you, Beehive Island is mine!"

Blackbeard didn't expect Big Mom would dare to ask him such a proposal at this moment.

Could she truly be aware of Captain Blackbeard's reputation? It appears Blackbeard rose too swiftly with remarkable feats to join the ranks of the Four Emperors. So much so that even a woman who looked down on him proposed a challenge to him.

"You said it's better for me to promise or not? If I don't, seems like I'm scared of a woman. If I do, even if I win, it's a weak victory. I think we best not fight in a duel."

This truly is a tough problem that's got Blackbeard stumped.

Yes, if he fights Big Mom in a duel, then Blackbeard will not be able to win easily. After all, she is a woman who knows has steel balloon physique

She could set terms with herself. If she beats him, Beehive Island will become her, but the odds of that happening are slim. But if he beats Big Mom, how could he negotiate any terms?

"Humph, you're underestimating the might of the Fourth Emperor, Big Mom. Being a woman doesn't make me any less powerful than a man. So, do you dare challenge me or not?"

Blackbeard didn't expect that this woman would actually get excited and hold on to this matter. If she wanted to show disdain, that would've been fine. She could've laid out conditions, but she didn't.

"That's fine. Since Big Mom, one of the Yonko, wants to challenge me, I'm curious about your abilities. But if you do manage to beat me, I'll give up Beehive Island."

"Alright, now you can lay out your conditions too. If you defeat me, what do you want?"

The two reached a gentleman's agreement. At that moment, Blackbeard felt this game wasn't half bad; it was his favorite type.

Seeing Big Mom preparing to fight Blackbeard, Perospero felt it was unnecessary. They were on the brink of capturing Beehive Island. With their crew and ships, they could turn Beehive Island into a river of blood in an instant, wiping it out completely.

But their mother made such a strange condition all the sudden? Making all of them came here wasted time

Could it be that Big Mom fell for Blackbeard's heroic appearance? What on earth was their mother thinking?

Perospero shook his head in helplessness, but soon he walked over to Big Mom's side. In this critical moment, he couldn't afford to be careless or act on impulse.

"Mother, I don't think there's any need to fight with Blackbeard personally, especially when we're so close to victory and about to capture Beehive Island."

"Hmmp, what do you know? I'm gonna attack his island when he least expects it."

Listening to Big Mom's words, Perosperro felt a bit puzzled. What was his mother up to? Was her disdain for Blackbeard just an act? Perhaps her aim was to confuse Blackbeard. If that's the case, it's quite a clever plan.

"Mother, you're thinking of using yourself to distract Blackbeard while I lead our ships to attack Beehive Island, aren't you?"

"You are finally smart and don't need me to explain too much. This is what I mean. As long as the two of us start a war, then you will quickly surround Beehive Island with your troops." 

A sinister smile appeared on Perosperro's face, which was exactly what he wanted.

"Mother is really smart!" 

Perosperro flattered before slowly stepping back.

Blackbeard was surprised by Big Mom's request, but if she truly wanted to attack Beehive Island, he believed that if he gave the order, the sea kings below would swarm up and overturn the ship of Big Mom Pirates quickly.

So no matter what force the opponent brings, he'll be ready, especially since this is his own territory. He believes that no matter how cunning this woman is, her IQ wouldn't match his own.

With that in mind, Blackbeard stopped worrying about the woman's plan and simply focused on preparing for the fight. Of course, he believed he wouldn't need to use more than 10% of his skills to deal with her.

As Blackbeard sat on the observation deck, waiting to confront Big Mom, he saw her feet lightly touch the deck, then she landed on Lighting homitz that flew towards Blackbeard.

The lighting homie, Zeus, is quite massive, floating several levels higher than on the water's surface.

Seeing the Fourth Emperor, Big Mom, flying straight to his observation deck like a swallow, Blackbeard didn't dare to underestimate her at that moment. It appeared he had misjudged her abilities.

No wonder he managed to squeeze into the position of the Four Emperors. You can't claim such a throne without certain qualities.

The dozen or so people behind Blackbeard thought it was too arrogant of him to compete with Big Mom at this time.

There were many pirates watching behind Big Mom's ship, eyeing Beehive Island, but Blackbeard made no arrangements for it nor told the pirates what to do.

If a fight really breaks out, they'll definitely suffer a big loss. At that moment, Lafiitte's body flashed back.

Big Mom's body swiftly floated to the observation deck.

Suddenly, Big Mom stood in front of Blackbeard like a graceful tree swaying in the wind. This woman moves pretty fast.
