I guarded Impel Down for a hundred years in the pirate world.

The grudge from back then? Teach was taken aback, his eyes widening slightly as he recalled another incident.

"Back then, I wanted to become one of the Celestial Dragons..." "You have no idea the humiliation I suffered at the hands of the Celestial Dragons!"

Could it be...? Teach looked at Figo.

Figo nodded slightly.

"Hehehe... Then let me have a chat with those damned Celestial Dragons!" Teach's aura suddenly changed.

Having captured so many Celestial Dragons, they had already obtained the Den Den Mushi (snail phone) for communicating with the Celestial Dragons.

Under the watchful eyes of Figo, Cossy, Ella, and Mira, Teach acted decisively, dialing the number and saying, "Zehahaha... This is Teach. Whoever you are, go and hand the Den Den Mushi to the Second or Sixth General!"

This aura caused the three female demon progenitors' eyes to flicker with admiration.

……

Tianlong Star, Divine General Pavilion.

When the Second God General saw the Den Den Mushi handed to him by his subordinate, he was first surprised, then angry.

"I am the Second Divine General, Raspe Loretta. Demon Prince Teach, if you want to make a pointless provocation, just hang up!"

"Hahaha... No rush." ​​Teach's hearty laughter came from the other side: "Second Divine General, you must have heard my name countless times, and you'll never forget it! But do you want to know who I really am?!"

Lolett frowned: "Who is it?"

He had indeed been investigating where this powerful sixth demonic child, Helam, had come from and why there had been no prior information, though he hadn't yet found anything. According to Teach's current account, was it really not as simple as Helam hiding his power?

"Just 14 years ago, I was a human who wanted to join Tianlong Star."

"……Um?!"

Not only was Lolett surprised, but the three progenitors beside Teach, apart from Figo, also widened their eyes at the same time, their faces showing disbelief.

"Hehehe... Yes, you heard me right. Back then, I was just an ordinary human who longed for Tianlong Star. You can probably guess what kind of treatment I received after arriving on Tianlong Star, right?"

Loretta's face darkened.

“Three months of Star Ring care, moving mountains and filling soil with those barbarian laborers,” Teach continued. “Of course, that’s nothing.”

"Three months as a teaching assistant at the academy basically meant serving as a sparring partner for those Celestial Dragon noble kids, without being able to fight back. Those annoying brats only liked to attack my teeth and humiliate me with all sorts of words... Zhehahaha, actually, it's nothing!"

“There are gains and losses. To become a member of the Celestial Dragons, the strongest race in the starry sky, you always have to make some sacrifices.” Teach laughed. “I’m not going to hold a grudge over something so trivial.”

Then came all sorts of other work, not much different from the other two, hahaha... I persevered through them all until the final assessment.

"Go to Anaconda Star to act as bait, creating an opportunity for a team of Celestial Dragons to hunt snakes and extract their venom!"

Teach said in a deep voice, "That was a forbidden zone for humans, with dozens of giant snakes, each over 5000 meters long, equivalent to the strength of someone who can light four lamps. For me, who hadn't lit my lamps at the time, it was an absolutely forbidden place to land."

"Hahaha, I wanted to refuse, but obviously, I had no choice at that point. However, I still managed to survive—by hiding in a giant snake's dung!!"

"Having survived such a close call, I thought I should finally be able to become a Celestial Dragon. But just as I met up with that group of Celestial Dragons, the leader pinned me to the ground with a single sword strike."

He said... I'm too disgusting. Just saying I want to become a Celestial Dragon is an insult to them, making them feel disgusted!

"Ha ha ha...and then they just left me there to die in the snakes' bellies. I endured the most desperate half-day of my life. If my mother hadn't saved me and given me strength, I wouldn't have had the chance...to take revenge on you bastards!"

Revenge... Hatred...

The sound echoed through the Den Den Mushi!

Loretta's hand holding the Den Den Mushi trembled slightly, her expression a mixture of anger and frustration.

Teach is in the same situation.

Hearing all this out gave him a sense of relief, although he would have preferred to take revenge himself. But using Figo's power to get it done sooner was not a bad idea.

In fact, what he experienced was far more complex than he described—he was living a life of 'don't underestimate a young man's potential'!

His eyes glanced at Figo.

It has to be said that although Figo tricked him badly this time, and might even have captured him and taken back to Impel Down, now that he understands that Figo was also helping him get revenge, he can't hate Figo at all, and even feels a little sentimental.

Is this the King of Qinghai who changed Qinghai and ushered Qinghai into the era of space exploration?

He is truly a man worthy of respect.

Of course, Teach still wouldn't willingly go to Impel Down to live!

Figo, meanwhile, was looking at prison files.

[Prisoner: Marshall D. Teach]

[Rank: SSR1→UR9]

[Status: In the process of breaking out of prison]

Crime Index: 12 → 381

[Participation rate in the arrest: 100%]

[Benefits: Physique +109 +1830]

[Character Event 1 (Activated): Have Teach join Dragon Star or replace Teach.]

[Character Event 2 (Completed): Make Teach, or help Teach, regret the humiliation he inflicted on him by the Celestial Dragons.]

[Characters and events...]

Character Event 2, Complete!

Long before Teach entered the Starry Sky, Figo had already imprinted him in the prison file and selected the capture reward for Teach, activating Teach's character event 1, knowing that he wanted to join Tianlong Star.

Add it if you want, go ahead and wreak havoc on the Celestial Dragons.

Figo didn't care and later even forgot about it. Unexpectedly, after many twists and turns, Teach became the sixth demon prince of the demon race.

Some time ago, after Teach discovered his identity, Figo made a profit and activated Teach's character event 2. So today, he just did this character event.

Completing character events allows you to choose one of Teach's abilities as a reward.

A long list unfolded before Figo.

Figo glanced at the list, his eyes narrowed, and his gaze settled on the top of the list.

Among the abilities—

The power of the Demon King (Myth)!

Chapter 244 Prisoner Exchange

Demon royalty?

Demons, and royalty?

Is Teach a member of the demon royal family?

In fact, this wasn't the first time Figo had seen the title of 'royal'.

Years ago, not long after Little White Star was born, Figo handcuffed her, making the little mermaid 'girl' cry loudly.

They thought they could randomly obtain the 'Power of Poseidon' from the young and inexperienced Bai Xing, but in the end, Bai Xing gave Figo the 'Power of the Mermaid Royal Family (Legendary)', which was higher than her father's 'Power of the Mermaid Family (Rare)'.

Teach's is impressive.

It is superior to the power of the demon race (legendary).

This is the only mythical level Figo has ever seen!

Is this how Teach was able to possess two abilities simultaneously? Combining this with certain unique characteristics of Qinghai, Figo suddenly made many connections.

The demon progenitors around him were moved by Teach's experiences. They were not disgusted by Teach's past as a human who wanted to become a Celestial Dragon. On the contrary, they were even more united with Teach in their hatred of the enemy.

Celestial Dragons, they deserve to die!

Of course, they also noticed one detail—14 years ago, Lord Teach had not yet lit the lamp, but now he stands at the peak below the strongest!

What talent!

In contrast to them, Loretta on the other end of the Den Den Mushi was filled with regret, remorse, and murderous intent.

Now that things have come to this, Teach has been transformed into a demon, and even if he were to punish those who humiliated him and give him justice, it would be completely futile, and he couldn't do that anyway.

He was silent for a moment, then said, "Is that all you want to say? If you want revenge, come to Tianlong Star."

“Hahaha…I will go, but not now!” Teach laughed. “Enough of the small talk, let’s get down to business. Let’s exchange prisoners, Second General.”

"Exchanging prisoners?"

"I have three candidate generals, 16 kings who have lit the three lamps, and more than two hundred miscellaneous soldiers under my command. In exchange, I will exchange them for my people!"

Even the candidates for God General are willing to be released? Lolett narrowed her eyes, calmed her mind, and said, "In exchange for all the demons captured during the battle?"

"Dream on!" Teach laughed. "As far as I know, you haven't captured a single demon prince alive yet, have you? How could I possibly exchange three candidate generals for you?"

"Is that so? In your eyes, the value of a clansman's life is judged by strength?"

"Hahaha... Don't try these little tricks. You've made me underestimate you, Second Divine General."

Feeling much more confident with Figo by his side, Teach said, "Besides the demons who were captured in this war, I also want to exchange them for the demons suffering in the Demon Suppression Prison!"

“…This is impossible!” Loretta paused, her voice lowering. “Absolutely impossible! Celestial Dragons have the courage to sacrifice themselves for their race!”

Teach's gaze searched for Figo.

What should I do?

Figo thought for a moment, took out a short-range paper star map that he had prepared beforehand, drew a circle on one of the planets, and then made a slashing motion with his right hand across his collar.

Teach said knowingly, "We seem to be quite close to the neutral planet Lamu. If I strip those three candidate generals naked and hang them in the main city of Lamu... hahaha!"

Figo: "..."

He mentally gave Teach a thumbs up.

On the other side, Lolett's face flushed red.

"...We are all top-tier powerhouses in the starry sky, how can you humiliate your opponent like this in war!"

"War is a matter of skill and ability!"

Lolett roared, "Teach! Can't we treat those captured demons the same way?!"

"Hahaha... whatever you want."

The demon race has no idol baggage.
