Chapter 463 Blackbeard's Shichibukai Positions
"Oh my, there's Ace the Fire Fist with a bounty of 500 million berries, and two other wanted criminals from the Blackbeard Pirates." Kakuzu's face was full of smiles, licking the corners of his mouth.
Blackbeard then remembered that although he was extremely evil, he had no bounty.
Thinking about it this way.
The new Shichibukai on the opposite side shouldn't attack his group, right?
Although there are two wanted criminals in his group, the bounty is not high, the highest is only 20 million berries.
In this case, it is absolutely unwise to fight against his group and Ace at the same time.
"Hahahahaha, Kakuzu, let's defeat Ace the Fire Fist together, and then hand him over to the navy, how about you take the bounty."
Kakuzu's eyes lit up when he heard it.
Although he knows all kinds of ninjutsu, it is still a bit tricky to deal with natural devil fruits.
Plus there is Blackbeard's group.
Now he can get Blackbeard's promise that his group will not make trouble and even help him.
Kakuzu thought it was not a big deal to let go of the two wanted criminals of the Blackbeard Pirates for the time being.
"Damn it, do you want to deal with me together?" Ace pointed at Kakuzu and Blackbeard.
Not only was he not afraid, but he was eager to try and said: "Then come on, let you see the strength of the captain of the second squad of the Whitebeard Pirates. I will never embarrass my father."
When talking about Whitebeard, the freckles on Ace's face were shining.
It was because of his blind loyalty to Whitebeard that Teach wanted to recruit him.
Seeing Ace mention Whitebeard again.
Blackbeard chose to take action directly. He slapped his hands to the ground.
Ace was even more excited when he saw it.
His right hand waved.
"Flame up!"
The temperature nearby increased by dozens of degrees.
The wall of fire, no, the sea of fire surrounded several people in the center all day long. Ace meant that he was afraid that Kakuzu and Blackbeard would run away.
As a person with five hearts who can use all-attribute chakra, Kakuzu cruelly opened his mouth and quickly slapped his hands on the ground.
"Water Style: Water Curtain Tent."
Instantly, a powerful water cannon was ejected from the mouth of the Earth Grudge: Water Style Mask Monster and shot at Ace.
Even Ace, who thought he could win, quickly dodged, because the devil fruit ability user is most afraid of water.
And Teach, who just slapped his hands on the ground, also widened his eyes.
He didn't expect the new Shichibukai to have such an ability.
Being able to control water can be said to be the nemesis of every devil fruit ability user.
Blackbeard even wanted to take the opportunity to sneak attack Kakuzu, but he still held back.
After all, if Kakuzu turned around and hit them in this situation, plus Ace, Blackbeard felt that their group would not be able to bear it.
"Damn it!"
Ace didn't expect Kakuzu's ability to be so tricky.
Just now, he was very happy to suppress Blackbeard's sniper with a musket, but now the retribution has come. People keep spraying water cannons at him. If he doesn't dodge, his end will be miserable.
Not to mention himself, even the surrounding fire wall will disappear.
Such a tragedy will happen when the devil fruit ability user encounters water.
Hiding behind the ruins of the house, Ace sprayed a large amount of flames with one hand.
"Mirror Fire Flame."
This move is somewhat similar to the previous Flame Gang, except that Flame Gang is to circle the enemy to prevent the opponent from escaping, while this move is to quickly form a fire wall at the position pointed by Ace to block the opponent's attack.
Although water restrains fire.
But because Ace's fire wall is too large and the temperature is too high, Kakuzu's water cannon has evaporated in front of the fire wall.
Having got a chance to breathe, Ace quickly launched a powerful skill.
Because in addition to Blackbeard's group, there is Kakuzu, he dare not delay any more time.
There are constantly glowing points like fireflies floating.
As a ninja, Kakuzu discovered the problem at the first time.
He quickly found a place to hide.
After all, many ninjutsu with strange breath can kill people.
Although Kakuzu has five hearts, he doesn't want to be seriously injured unless it is necessary.
But Blackbeard's group is not so lucky.
Firefly·Fire Daruma is an important attack method of Ace.
The destructive power of this move is completely determined by how many fireflies he can release.
Through Ace's hands, he creates many small glowing fireballs similar to fireflies floating around the enemy, and finally all gather on the opponent, and then explode in one breath to cause damage to the enemy.
In short, the longer the charging time, the higher the skill damage.
This time Ace learned his lesson.
Let the fireflies fly into the sky first.
He kept creating fireflies behind the ruins of the house.
By the time Blackbeard and others found out about the abnormality, it was too late.
They were surrounded by fireflies.
A huge explosion occurred with them as the center.
Boom——
All the Blackbeard gang were blown over.
Lying on the ground with smoke all over his body.
Blackbeard simply fainted from the pain.
The side effects of the dark fruit are so obvious.
At this time, Kakuzu slowly walked out of the shadows.
Looking at Ace who was panting with his hands on his knees, Kakuzu smiled and said, "Ace, the Fire Fist with a bounty of 500 million berries, has no ability to resist now, so I want to exchange your head for the Navy's bounty."
"Wait...wait."
Blackbeard, who had just woken up, hurried to stop Kakuzu.
"He is the son of Gol Roger, hand him over to the Navy."
What a joke, Blackbeard wants to use Ace to exchange for a position in the Shichibukai.
Even if the Shichibukai is full now, he still wants to improve his status in the navy.
"So what? Will Roger's son be worth more money?"
Kakuzu prefers to exchange heads for bounties.
He doesn't like to take people with him.
Because many ninjas have secret techniques, it is quite dangerous to take living people with you, and you might let the money fly away.
"I, I am willing to give you an extra 500 million berries, as long as you and I send Ace to the navy!"
"Well, where is the money?"
Kakuzu asked while locking Ace with seastone handcuffs.
The seastone handcuffs were sent to him by Uchiha Mai through the phone bug mail.
"I don't have that much money now, I owe you, and I will definitely pay you back when I have money!"
Blackbeard Teach opened his arms and persuaded.
"That's fine, but you must pay interest when you borrow money from me. You owe me 500 million berries, the annual interest rate is 2%, and the monthly interest is 10,000 berries. If it's less than a month, it will be calculated as a month. It's fair and reasonable." Kakuzu was very happy.
Blackbeard and his gang were all numb.
I heard that Kakuzu liked money, but I didn't expect him to like it so much.
Now he is playing a game of buying Ace's life with them on loan.
But Teach had to agree.
After all, it's not easy for him to find another suitable candidate to send to the navy in the current situation.
Kakuzu finally smiled with satisfaction.
The financial industry is more profitable than being a bounty hunter.
But he doesn't like to go small and small, and now he has found a big customer like the Blackbeard Pirates. Kakuzu decided to cultivate their consumption habits.
Try to pay it back all the time, and pay the interest all the time.
On the way to the headquarters of the navy with the Blackbeard Pirates.
Blackbeard didn't forget to fight for Kakuzu.
"Would you like to join my pirate group? Then we can become the overlords of the sea and overthrow the era of Whitebeard and his people!" Blackbeard tried to show off his eloquence, and saliva kept splashing out from his teeth.
Kakuzu looked at Blackbeard with some vigilance and said, "You have a good idea. You want to pull me into your group so that you don't have to pay back the money, right? Let me tell you that no one in the world can borrow money from me and not pay it back, otherwise I will show you what the strongest debt collection group is."
Kakuzu lent money to others for the first time, and he was unsure whether to spend money to persuade Uchiha Mai to help him collect the debt.
But he was reluctant to do so. He wanted Uchiha Mai to do it, and the money he spent was definitely not a small amount.
Although Uchiha Mai didn't care about money, she had a bad taste. She knew that she liked money and must want to make her bleed a lot.
Kakuzu decided to keep an eye on Blackbeard's group. If it didn't work, he would recruit a few more brothers and come to me to collect the debt.
On the way, Blackbeard still did not forget to persuade Kakuzu to join his pirate group, but unfortunately, the things he said were not attractive at all.
Even if Blackbeard tempted him with countless money, Kakuzu was unmoved.
Because he knew one thing, that is, even if he had countless money, he could not protect his wealth without strong military force.
And the most powerful person in the world was Uchiha Mai, how could he betray Uchiha Mai?
A few days later, the group finally arrived at the headquarters of the Navy.
They saw that it was the Seven Warlords of the Sea.
The soldiers of the headquarters were in a mess.
Marshal Sengoku was notified and met the group in the reception room.
He was also very curious, why did these two gangs get together?
He was also a little wary in his heart.
"Marshal Sengoku, we are here to give you a gift!" Blackbeard said a little flatteringly after laughing.
As a person who would do anything to achieve his goals, he never cared about his face. Now facing the marshal of the Navy headquarters, it doesn't matter if he is more humble.
"Oh, what gift?" Marshal Sengoku asked curiously.
Before Blackbeard could speak, Kakuzu spoke first: "Captain of the Second Division of the Whitebeard Pirates, Ace, the Fire Fist with a bounty of 500 million, I don't want to know what deal you have, but give me my bounty quickly."
Zhan Guo was confused by them, and didn't know whether these people came to give gifts or to collect bounties.
Blackbeard quickly explained: "I heard when I was in the Whitebeard Pirates that Ace's father is Roger, and he is the son of the Pirate King."
Marshal Zhan Guo's eyes widened with a roar. Before, the World Government and the Navy sent countless people to search for Roger's wife.
But those CP agents did not find Roger's wife, and the newborns who met the age at that time were killed by the Navy and the World Government.
I didn't expect Ace to be Roger's son.
Marshal Zhan Guo still had some impression of Ace's mother, but the birth date of that woman's child did not match. Now he heard what Blackbeard said, he believed it a little.
This is a great thing, to catch Roger's descendants and publicly execute them.
This is another major benefit to the authority of the Navy and the World Government. After all, Uchiha Mai had slapped the Navy in the face before.
"So you two gangs are not together. Our Shichibukai want Ace's bounty, and you want to get benefits through Ace. Am I right?" Marshal Sengoku asked with a smile.
"Yes, yes, there is no problem at all. I want to exchange a position of Shichibukai by handing over Roger's son." Blackbeard said with wide eyes and excitement.
Only when he gets the position of Shichibukai can he proceed with the next plan.
"But now Shichibukai is full." Marshal Sengoku said with embarrassment.
"Hey, when will you give me Ace's bounty?" Kakuzu asked impatiently. He didn't want to waste time here.
Marshal Sengoku waved his hand with a black line and asked the messenger to take him to collect the bounty.
Seeing that Shichibukai who was obsessed with money left, Marshal Sengoku finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Staying with Kakuzu always felt like doing some unspeakable deal.
Marshal Sengoku looked at Blackbeard and asked: "Now the position of Shichibukai is full, whose position do you hope to get?"
"As long as I kill a Shichibukai, I can get his position?" Blackbeard widened his eyes and thought of the legendary most beautiful woman in the world.
It's okay to let Hancock be his woman.
Marshal Sengoku just said it casually, but now he found that Blackbeard's ambition might be greater than he thought.
He quickly said: "I advise you not to mess around, otherwise the sea will become uneasy again. I will give you an answer as soon as possible."
"Well, I'll wait for your reply, Marshal Sengoku." Blackbeard was a little disappointed.
After the Blackbeard Pirates left Sengoku, the marshal slapped his desk.
The desk creaked again under the heavy load, but it still stood.
Now Crocodile has become a criminal and was imprisoned in Impel Down.
And Gekko Moria was killed by Doflamingo.
But these two positions have been filled.
The remaining Shichibukai are not easy to move Hawkeye Shiki and the Five Elders, and the agreement became the King's Shichibukai.
Even if he is the admiral of the navy, he can't move Hawkeye's position.
And Big Bear agreed to participate in Vegapunk's human body transformation plan.
Maybe this position can be vacated, after all, Big Bear soon lost his will.
As for Jinbei, his position is very representative.
This is a symbolic meaning of peaceful coexistence between Fisherman Island and the World Government, so this position is more symbolic than practical, and it cannot be easily moved.
Not to mention Might Guy, if Might Guy's position as a Shichibukai is cancelled, Uchiha Mai will definitely not give up.
Compared with Blackbeard, Marshal Sengoku thinks Uchiha Mai and his men are more terrifying.
And Hancock, the leader of the other Nine Snakes Pirates, is also not to be underestimated.
Now it seems that only the position of Big Bear is the easiest to vacate.
Then we can only urge Vegapunk to quickly eliminate Big Bear's self-consciousness, and then canceling his position as a Shichibukai will naturally not cause any waves.
Marshal Sengoku feels very tired.
He always has to think about these messy things every day.
He has been dealing with those criminals more recently, and his head hurts more and more.
