The Chapter get Retranslated
Time flowed by.
Two months passed in the blink of an eye.
West Blue, on the shore of a small island.
A pitch-black pirate ship, with a Cerberus symbol at its bow, and a black pirate flag adorned with three skull heads and four crossed thigh bones, fluttered in the wind, instilling a sense of awe, as it remained docked in front of the island.
"A pirate flag I've never seen beforeâŠ"
"Three skull heads, is this a newly formed pirate crew?"
The island residents couldn't help but feel fear and panic at the sight of the giant pirate ship they had never seen before.
On the deck, about thirty pirates, dressed somewhat uniformly, were moving about in groups of three or five, subtly exuding a fierce aura.
On the spacious bow.
Two figures stood there.
One wore a large black cloak and a pirate captain's hat, his body corpulent and robust, about three meters tall. His face was sinister, a black beard adorned his chin, and his expression was somewhat indifferent, with a glimmer of ferocity deep in his eyes.
In his outstretched right hand, he held a Den Den Mushi.
The Den Den Mushi's open eyes were facing another tall man in front of him.
After Law's plastic surgery, Blackbeard's body and face had undergone tremendous changes. His missing teeth were replaced, and even his original small eyes were changed to normal-sized large eyes.
He even underwent liposuction surgery. Although still somewhat plump, he had already lost a significant amount of weight, making him look like a completely different person.
Even if Whitebeard were here, he would absolutely not recognize this Blackbeard, whose physique was somewhat similar but had shed a lot of weight, as his "son," Marshall D. Teach.
"I never thought a small fry like me would be noticed by an existence like you; I am truly flatteredâŠ" The tall man, wearing a top hat and toying with a cane, his face painted with white powder like a mime actor,
glanced at the burly fat man with his somewhat sinister aura, and smiled into the Den Den Mushi, "And it looks like Germa is celebrating its grand flagship below!"
Laffitte really hadn't expected that he, an expelled security officer, would be noticed by the devil from Germa, and even invited to join the pirate crew secretly affiliated with him.
Just from the dangerous aura emanating from this self-proclaimed "Blackbeard" in front of him, he estimated that the other party could easily kill him.
He was not someone who hadn't seen the world.
He realized instantly and deeply that Germa, that legendary evil organization, was definitely not as simple as it appeared to outsiders.
To actually dispatch such a person to be a pirate? And to specifically seek out a navigator like him to join, their ambitions clearly wouldn't be small!
Laffitte didn't believe that the esteemed Germa 66 would lack excellent navigators.
"So, tell me, what's your answer!"
The Den Den Mushi simulated Vinsmoke Ichiji's expression, smiling ambiguously: "You, who were once a West Blue security officer, expelled for excessive use of violence, I don't believe you are a law-abiding person, LaffitteâŠ"
Far away on a beast island in the New World, the climate changed monthly.
The biting cold winter imperceptibly turned into a scorching summer.
After two months of continuous effort, Ichiji, whose Devil Fruit power development had made some progress through repeated attempts, devoted himself entirely to training, except for occasionally asking about changes in the situation and giving instructions through the Den Den Mushi.
"Blackbeard" Andre Jenny was tasked with forming the Blackbeard Pirates, which was naturally his instruction.
But even knowing of the other party's loyalty, he would not naively trust that guy completely.
Therefore, he directly intervened in the core cadres of the Blackbeard Pirates, taking precautions.
He wanted the Blackbeard Pirates' cadres to understand from the very beginning who their true superior was, so that no unnecessary trouble would arise from their ambitions.
Although, in reality, for a strong person whose mind had been altered, Law, as an Op-Op Fruit User, was practically their nemesis, and the probability of betrayal was negligible.
"I am willing to serve you, Prince Ichiji!" Laffitte twirled his cane, directly removed his top hat, bowed to the Den Den Mushi, and spoke with a smile.
He had no doubt that if he refused to join, the man in front of him would likely kill him immediately, but he also didn't feel too repulsed by the idea.
Bored in the West Blue, he had already planned to try his luck in the Grand Line.
"From today onward, you are the navigator of the Blackbeard Pirates. I look forward to your performance!"
With a "click," the Den Den Mushi, mimicking Ichiji's expression, closed its eyes after speaking: "Then, you two get along well. Jenny is your captain, so don't cause any troubleâŠ"
"Captain Jenny, please guide me in the future!"
Laffitte smiled and spoke, gazing at the fierce-looking, corpulent figure before him.
He could perceive the chilling hatred and ferocity deep within the other man's eyes, but it was clearly not directed at him, which genuinely piqued his curiosity. It was indeed somewhat terrifying.
"Everyone is family now. This isn't Germa Kingdom, so there's no need to be too formalâŠ" Blackbeard nodded, patting Laffitte's shoulder.
He held immense hatred for the World Government and longed to devour the flesh and blood of the World Nobles, but he hadn't reached the point of misanthropy.
Having come from the South Blue's maritime society, he was also no paragon of virtue, and thus felt no repulsion or disgust toward Laffitte's past experiences.897
"Minions, from today onwards, Laffitte is our Blackbeard Pirates' navigator and the captain of the First Division!"
"Yes!!"
"Captain!!"
"Captain Laffitte!"
Gazing at the thirty elite soldiers selected from the Germa Army, even Andre Jenny couldn't help but feel a surge of pride and excitement.
He believed that in the near future, as long as the Blackbeard Pirates could truly reach the heights expected by that Prince.
Even if it was impossible to directly destroy the World Government in a short time, with his continuously growing "power," he would one day make the World Nobles who killed his parents and brutally tortured his sister to death regret ever being born into this world.
"Set sailâŠ"
Raising his right hand high, Blackbeard shouted: "Advance to the Grand Line!!"
"Ohââ"
The troublemakers originally from Germa, now chosen and become ordinary members of the Blackbeard Pirates, shouted in unison.
Twenty to thirty people busied themselves, and the huge sail was unfurled. The three-skull emblem of the Blackbeard Pirates exuded a wild, imposing aura.
The giant pirate ship gradually sailed away, under the relieved gazes of the island's residents!
