The Great Voyage: The Props Master on the Straw Hat Ship

He was still there, recklessly extending an invitation to the Whitebeard Pirates.

Just like when Ace was invited on Banaro Island.

"Joining you..."

Marco's face gradually darkened, and the eyes of the other pirate captains and division commanders also flashed with angry killing intent.

"To be with you, the guy who killed his comrades and betrayed the pirate crew?!"

Marco's blue flames shot straight into the sky. "What kind of daydream are you having?!"

Whoosh!!

The pirates behind him all took out their weapons.

And on the other side~

"It seems this can't be resolved peacefully..."

Blackbeard squinted at his former comrade, now his enemy.

1.6 Behind him, Demi and Pizarro drew their swords and pistols, while the original sniper Van Augur, Doc Q, navigator Lafayette, and helmsman Burgess also drew their weapons one after another.

The situation quickly turned into a tense standoff.

"It's true what they say, good people don't live long, but evil people live on for a thousand years."

High in the sky, Link looked at the still lively and energetic Blackbeard and his crew and shook his head.

Even without the antidote left to them by Hippiecki, they were still able to break through Magellan's defenses.

Not only did they reach the sixth floor, but they also gathered so many criminals once again.

"And that laughter, no matter how you listen to it, just sounds grating..."

Blue and white light began to swirl around Link's body as he slowly extended his palm forward.

"Especially at a time like this."

The flickering, ever-shining lightning gradually gathered at his fingertips.

Just as he was about to aim downwards and make a move...

"Um?!"

Suddenly, Link's eyes flickered slightly, and then a smile slowly spread across his lips.

"Looks like I won't need to take action."

~~~~~~~~~

[I have to go out today as well, and I might not be back tonight. If I can get back in time, I'll write an extra chapter as soon as I can. If I can't get back, then... well...]

390 Old Man?! !! A father-son showdown between Whitebeard and Blackbeard!! It feels like you still have about the same aura as before.

On the ice below.

Looking at his companions beside him and the prisoners gathered from the sixth level of the prison, Blackbeard felt an overwhelming surge of pride and ambition within him.

Previously in Impel Down, Magellan unleashed such a powerful, almost awakened, red poison.

The air was filled with a poison that could transport one to the underworld with just a whiff.

It was also thanks to his ability to use the Dark-Dark Fruit that he was able to use darkness to devour the toxins around him.

Furthermore, Lafayette used his hypnotic abilities to control the warden, Sadie Jr., and the deputy warden, Hannibal.

The two men stabbed Magellan in the back.

This gave him the upper hand, allowing him to defeat his opponent in one fell swoop!

Blackbeard and his crew then rushed to the sixth floor and, using the same method as in the original story, gathered together these once extremely notorious pirates.

Thus, his pirate crew was filled with formidable warriors!

Facing the Four Emperors-level pirate crews on the high seas, their high-end combat strength is certainly not inferior!

He has once again successfully taken another crucial step in realizing his dream!

Filled with boundless pride, Blackbeard felt as if he could go anywhere in the world!

Even the so-called emperor within the new world could no longer stop his advance!

Heaven has favored me; the advantage is mine!

At this moment, Blackbeard Teach only wanted to laugh out loud on this battlefield to vent the exhilaration of his impending ambition being fulfilled.

But~

"Just a little bit more!!"

Teach's gaze was fixed on Marco and the others.

"Their disheveled state suggests they must have retreated from the harbor battlefield behind."

"If I'm not mistaken, Ace should have been rescued, leaving Whitebeard there to cover their retreat."

"The reason Ace didn't come out is because his younger brother, Luffy, is still inside. He's with his brother..."

"And Whitebeard, he's single-handedly fighting against the three admirals of the Marine Headquarters, plus the hero Garp, and Fleet Admiral Sengoku. Hehehe, you better not die, old man!!"

Blackbeard's lips curled into a silent grin. "You'd better hold out a little longer against this lineup!"

"As your former son, I haven't even seen you one last time, haven't properly said goodbye, and haven't inherited your abilities yet!!"

Thinking about this, Blackbeard became a little impatient.

Having already possessed the most ferocious Logia-type Devil Fruit power, he coveted the power of his former father's strongest Paramecia-type Devil Fruit power in the world, the Tremor-Tremor Fruit.

With these two abilities, he truly possesses the capital and confidence to roam the seas!

"I really can't wait to see you, Dad... Huh? Dad?!!"

Blackbeard was still inwardly contemplating how he should face his former father.

But~~~

He blinked, and suddenly a tall man leaning on a naginata appeared before him.

"Um……"

Blackbeard's gaze slowly moved upwards, and then he saw that iconic crescent-shaped white beard.

"Dad?!"

Blackbeard Teach was immediately startled and let out a strange cry, leaping backward and continuing to retreat.

"Whitebeard?!"

"Dad?!"

Blackbeard's men's expressions changed drastically, while the Whitebeard Pirates erupted in cheers of surprise.

"Tikki..."

Whitebeard completely ignored the voices, and simply looked expressionlessly at Blackbeard Teach, who was terrified and running away in a panic.

"Why, why did you suddenly appear here?!"

Teach backed away in fright and asked in a terrified voice.

The appearance of the white beard really frightened him.

The charisma and shadows of being the world's strongest man for over two decades are not so easily overcome.

"Teach!!!"

Whitebeard remained silent, but a sudden, angry shout came from beside him.

"Ace?!!"

Blackbeard glanced over instinctively and saw an angry, freckled face.

And around him were other figures.

"Sabo of the Revolutionary Army, Jinbe carrying Straw Hat Luffy, Shiryu of the Rain, Trafalgar Law the Surgeon of Death, and Zoro the Pirate Hunter and his crew..."

Blackbeard took in all the people who had come into the arena.

"It really was him!"

Using his [Transfer] ability, Law moved all these figures to this location, then glanced at Blackbeard and the group of men behind him.

His palm unconsciously pressed against the ghost's wailing.

Not only him, but everyone else also cautiously reached for their weapons.

After all, he was the guy who could easily defeat Ace before, and who also invaded Impel Down and still managed to come here alive.

This is also a dangerous individual who needs to be guarded against!

However~

Ding~!!

The tip of the naginata slammed heavily onto the ice, and Whitebeard, with an extremely calm gaze, took a step forward.

This one step alone caused Blackbeard Teach's eyes to tremble.

"There aren't a single scratch on his body?!"

He then began to examine the white-bearded man's body, and said in disbelief.

"What are those Navy guys doing?!"

"and……"

Blackbeard Teach's gaze involuntarily drifted to the back of Whitebeard's head, where his dazzling blond hair stood, and his pupils constricted slightly.

"Such a posture..."

He hadn't forgotten that when he joined the Whitebeard Pirates, Whitebeard was in his prime, at the height of his life!

Especially the power and strength displayed in the battle against Roger's crew on that island, which made him yearn for it.

"It feels like the same momentum as before..."

Blackbeard Teach was forced to take two more steps back by this imposing aura.

He stared wide-eyed, utterly bewildered.

"When I left the Moby Dick, Whitebeard was still covered in tubes and had an oxygen stand in his nose!!"

"He's already an old man, frail and sickly, so why does his body seem to have been rejuvenated?!"

"And...it's still the same peak condition as it was more than 20 years ago?!"

"How can this be?!!"

"What exactly happened during the short time I was gone?!"

Teach was filled with astonishment and confusion.

In fact, if it weren't for the overwhelming pressure Whitebeard exerted on him, he would have already roared out.

"Tikki..."

Whitebeard's gaze slowly fell on Blackbeard Teach.

"You have violated the only ironclad rule on my ship; you have murdered your comrade!!"

"As Captain Sachi of the Fourth Team wishes, let me take your bastard's life and let him rest in peace!!"

With that, the gleaming blade pointed towards Blackbeard Teach!

"...Thief, thief hahaha!!"

Teach was silent for a moment, then burst into laughter.

"Trying to take my life? That's utterly disregarding our friendship, and it's certainly impossible for me to show any mercy..."

"However, this suits me perfectly!!!"

In an instant, thick black smoke particles emerged from his body, and even the ground beneath his feet was shrouded in darkness!

"What is that? Is it black smoke?!"

"Is that Teach's Devil Fruit ability?!"
