As soon as Yang Ming touched her waist, Tina felt a current run through her skin, and her delicate body trembled slightly.
Although Tina often trained with a group of naval soldiers, she had never had close contact with other boys. Even when she joked around with Yang Ming, it was just playful banter, and she had never been this close as she was today.
For a moment, Tina's mind went blank, and she didn't know what to say.
Under the tutelage of Momousagi Gion, Yang Ming was no longer a novice who only knew theory. Seeing Tina's reaction, he smiled inwardly, knowing that Tina had fallen in love. If he didn't win her over now, he would be letting himself down.
The two found a secluded hillside and sat down under a large tree.
Yang Ming turned his head and looked at Tina's beautiful oval face under the bright sunlight. Her delicate red lips, pretty nose, and delicate chin made her look more gentle and elegant than usual. He couldn't help but lift her pointed chin and, meeting Tina's coy gaze, suddenly lowered his head and shoved her head down.
"Well!"
Tina's beautiful eyes widened, and she seemed to float up like a cloud.
After a long time, the two separated.
The five-minute lack of oxygen caused Tina to gasp for breath, gasping for air, her chest heaving.
Tina feigned a hint of anger, gently pounding Yang Ming's chest with her small fists, and scolded playfully:
"Yang Ming, you're so naughty."
Yang Ming grabbed Tina's wrist and, with a gasp from her, slammed her to the ground.
As if she had thought of something, Tina whispered:
"Yang Ming, should we go somewhere else? What if someone sees us..."
Before Tina could finish speaking, Yang Ming immediately covered her mouth with a kiss, the corners of his mouth slightly upturned.
"Don't worry, I've already covered the surrounding area with Observation Haki. If anyone gets close, I'll know in advance."
A dark cloud came from afar, blocking out the scorching sun.
Even the sun hanging in the sky seemed surprised that someone would be so bold as to be embarrassed to watch what was about to happen.
An ancient poem says:
The silver vase was broken, water slurry burst out, and the cavalry stood out with swords and guns.
At the end of the song, take care to draw, the sound of the four strings is like cracking silk.
The east boat and the west boat were silent, only seeing Jiang Xin Qiuyue white.
Yes, I really am writing poetry, nothing more.
As the sun gradually set in the west, Tina, looking exhausted, rested her head on Yang Ming's chest in the afterglow of the sunset.
Even with Tina's strong physique, she still felt powerless after the continuous battles. She felt somewhat exhausted, but a sweet smile remained on her lips, as if she was happy that the two had finally achieved their happy ending.
From this small hill, one can see the brightly lit city, the bustling Water Seven. Tina looked up at that handsome face she could never forget and said:
"Yang Ming, actually, Tina has always had a question in her heart: what has been the purpose of all the things you have done over the years?"
Yang Ming gently stroked the soft strands of hair behind Tina's head with his fingers. Tina curled up like a cat, finding a better position for herself.
You might not believe it, but it's true.
"I want to save the world!"
"I believe—"
Yang Ming clenched his fists, his gaze fixed on the distance, his eyes seemingly able to penetrate Water City and reflect the entire decaying world within them.
"I can save the world!"
If someone else had said those words to Tina, she would have thought they were childish and had such a fantastical dream.
But when Yang Ming said these words, they conveyed a sense of unwavering determination, a determination to achieve whatever the future held. Tina's beautiful eyes shimmered, and she reached out her slender, delicate hands to firmly grasp Yang Ming's fists. She nodded heavily and whispered:
"No matter what you do or what enemies you face in the future, Tina will always stand by your side."
New world, Isle of Thunder.
Thunder Island is an island on the Fishman Island route. In the weather report of the small sky island of Vezaria, it was mentioned that this is an island surrounded by thunderstorms and that an umbrella is needed to successfully land on it.
The entire island is filled with terrifying lightning, and ordinary people dare not approach it. But today, a ship has come to anchor near Thunder Island.
After experiencing Edward Newgate's birthday party, which lasted for more than a month, Thatch, as the captain and cook of the 4th Division, planned to come to Thunder Isle to purchase some rare beasts that can only be found on Thunder Isle, in order to make some nourishing and health-preserving soups for Whitebeard and prolong his life. Therefore, he specially piloted the 4th Division's flagship to come.
As Sage's good friend, Blackbeard Marshall D. Teach had no choice but to come along.
The tall man with a pompadour hairstyle gave an order to the fat, bloated man with a black beard beside him:
"Teach, let's split up. That way we can be more efficient and hunt down the Thunder Beast as soon as possible to get its heart."
Marshall D. Teach, with his black beard, grinned, revealing a row of uneven, yellow teeth.
"Don't worry, Sachi, I will complete the mission perfectly."
After saying that, the two parted ways midway.
Thunder Island is desolate. Due to the high density of lightning, tall trees generally do not survive long and are easily struck by lightning. Therefore, most of the trees are low bushes. The so-called Thunder Beast sounds imposing, but it is actually a rare beast with a body similar to a rabbit. However, unlike a rabbit, the Thunder Beast has a strong sense of territory and aggression. If any outsider intrudes, it will fight back to the death.
Blackbeard Marshall D. Teach was clearly not new to this kind of mission, and he seemed quite relaxed. The feeling of being paid and still being able to slack off at work was incredibly enjoyable.
Just as he was about to casually mention his work hours as usual, his gaze suddenly sharpened, and without turning his head, he said:
"You've been following me for so long, come out now."
A pale-faced man in a suit emerged from his hiding place, toying with a cane in his hand, and spoke to the wary-looking Marshall D. Teach:
“I am Lafitte, a member of the Akatsuki organization. Our boss requests your presence.”
Chapter 298 Bewitching Blackbeard
New world, Isle of Thunder.
"Rumble! Rumble! Rumble..."
As deafening thunder roared, pale lightning flashed across the sky, casting a somber shadow on Marshall D. Teach's face.
He stared intently at the man before him who claimed to be a member of the Akatsuki organization, one hand silently resting on the poison-coated dagger at his waist, gripping the hilt tightly, and said with a forced smile:
"Akatsuki Organization?"
"How come I've never heard of such an organization on this vast ocean?"
"In my memory, I have never met any leader of the Akatsuki organization. What is the purpose of his request to see me?"
Under the pale light of lightning, Lafitte expressionlessly flicked the cane in his hand. Beneath the wide brim of his hat, a pair of clear black and white eyes calmly watched the tense black-bearded Marshall D. Teach. He had already seen the other man's subtle movements, but he didn't care at all.
Since joining the Akatsuki organization in the West Blue, Lafitte has devoted himself to the cause, running around everywhere to organize matters for the Light News Agency. With his flying-type Devil Fruit ability, he did this job perfectly, and even Yang Ming could not find any fault with it.
Lafitte's shadow stretched very long, swaying and dancing like a demon.
Instead of answering Marshall D. Teach's question honestly, he said in a nonchalant tone:
"Our boss said that if you want to get the Dark Fruit, you'd better obediently come with me."
Upon hearing the words "Dark-Dark Fruit," Blackbeard Marshall D. Teach's pupils contracted sharply. He was initially startled, wondering how the Akatsuki leader knew he wanted to obtain the Dark-Dark Fruit.
But then he thought about it again. He had been with the Whitebeard Pirates for so many years, and now he had found it without even looking for it. This was a rare opportunity. If he missed this chance, it would be almost impossible for him to obtain the Dark-Dark Fruit again.
Of course, there may be some traps involved.
However, Blackbeard Marshall D. Teach has always been a nobody in the Whitebeard Pirates. He would slack off in battles and stay out of the limelight whenever possible, making him a veritable veteran of the industry. Even his good friend Thatch had no idea of his true strength.
Thanks to this, Blackbeard Marshall D. Teach has never aroused the Navy's suspicion in all his years in the industry, so he has never been wanted and therefore has no fame.
Blackbeard Marshall D. Teach didn't believe that anyone would go to such lengths just to deal with an unknown nobody.
In Marshall D. Teach's view, the Akatsuki organization might want to use his identity to establish a connection with the Whitebeard Pirates.
If you think about it this way, it really makes a lot of sense.
In a short while, Blackbeard Marshall D. Teach's mind raced several times, and he had already decided on a strategy. Then, a sinister smile appeared on his lips.
"Alright, lead the way!"
Lafitte didn't care about the other party's attitude or mood. In his mind, there were very few people on this sea who could be enemies of that great man, but this rough and greasy middle-aged man in front of him was definitely not among them.
Lafitte turned around and swaggered ahead, seemingly unconcerned about the threat posed by the person behind him.
The devil is in the details. Blackbeard Marshall D. Teach naturally noticed this detail immediately. He became more cautious and simply pulled out the poisoned dagger hidden at his waist, holding it tightly in his palm. Only then did he feel a sense of security.
After walking for about three kilometers along the desolate black soil, atop a bare cliff ahead stood a black ancient castle.
The black castle, exuding European charm, stands nearly 100 meters tall, majestically situated on the earth. Its towering spires reach into the clouds, and black bats hover in the air, making a sound as their wings flap.
Outside the walls of this black castle stand death knights like obsidian sculptures, their massive two-handed swords embedded upside down in the black earth. They are clad in black armor that exudes an aura of decay, with tattered cloaks draped over their shoulders. Through the helmets they wear, one can see a pair of eerie soul flames.
The black soil, like a swamp, bubbled up from time to time. Various creatures, constructed entirely of shadow, floated up and down within it. The moment an outsider stepped into the restricted area, these shadow creatures, which had been in a dormant state, suddenly opened their eyes as big as copper bells.
When stared at by countless pairs of eyes as big as copper bells, if looks could kill, Blackbeard Marshall D. Teach would probably have been torn to pieces long ago.
Even so, he wasn't in a good mood at the moment.
The surroundings were filled with a depressing atmosphere. Blackbeard Marshall D. Teach was familiar with the world situation, so how could he not know that this was the style of Lee Sin, the Lord of the Night?
Blackbeard Marshall D. Teach paused, a wry smile appearing on his lips.
"So, the so-called leader of the Akatsuki organization is actually the once-famous Dark Lord Lee Sin?"
Once upon a time, when Blackbeard Marshall D. Teach first saw the news about Lee Sin, the Lord of the Night, in the newspaper, he suspected that the other party was a user of the Dark-Dark Fruit.
Seeing the situation around him now, he suddenly realized that the power controlled by the other party was far beyond that of the Dark-Dark Fruit.
"Could it be that the other party is a Devil Fruit user who ate the superior version of the Dark-Dark Fruit?"
"But that doesn't make sense. The Dark-Dark Fruit is already the top-tier Devil Fruit in the world, how could there be a higher level?"
Blackbeard Marshall D. Teach was completely baffled by this.
Lafitte paused, standing at the entrance of the black castle. He removed his hat, held it to his chest, bowed slightly, and addressed the person in front of him respectfully:
"My lord, I have brought you the person you wished to see."
"Crack!"
As Lafitte finished speaking, the gates of the black castle automatically opened to the left and right, revealing a wide road.
Lafitte glanced back at Blackbeard Marshall D. Teach, signaling him not to stop and to continue following him.
Having come all this way, Blackbeard Marshall D. Teach was reluctant not to meet this legendary figure.
