Chapter 47: 047 Comradeship?
The island's pirates showed no reaction whatsoever.
The witch gazed at Blackbeard in disbelief. Despite being over a hundred years old, her fruit power had never failed before.
She had never heard of such an ability!
"What did you do?!"
The witch eyed Blackbeard cautiously, a hint of fear in her voice.
She was not skilled in physical combat, she was now just an ordinary pirate without her abilities. Naturally, facing Blackbeard head on made her afraid and desperately trying to run from Blackbeard dark water
Yet, Blackbeard didn't give chase. Instead, he countered with a thunderous roar.
"Boom!"
The thunder dragon enveloped the witch in an instant. She collapsed, twitching on the ground beneath the thunder. Even her once-pale hair turned black.
"Captain!"
"Captain Witch!"
The Witch Pirates' crew screamed at the sight of their captain collapsing
In an instant, everything changed for them. The Witch was still actively attacking Blackbeard, and suddenly, she was on the ground, electrocuted. They couldn't react as she twitched on the ground.
"Doc Q."
Blackbeard's gaze fixed on Doc Q. He aimed to eliminate the witch and claim her mythical beast fruit – a nine-tailed demon fox.
With a single glance, Doc Q understand Blackbeard's intention and immidietly replied,
"Captain, everything is ready."
Murderous intent flashed in Blackbeard's eyes. He aimed to seize this chance and eliminate the other party quickly.
"Don't kill me, I'm ready to follow you! The Witch Pirates, we're all becoming yours!"
The witch trembled instinctively as she spoke in terror, meeting Blackbeard's gaze.
"What use do I, the Blackbeard Pirates, need for an old woman like you?"
Even after hearing this, Blackbeard remained calm and unaffected. He extended his hand, gathering the thunder into a spear, and finally threw it suddenly!
Suddenly, a fat figure dashed forward, positioning himself with his back to Blackbeard, shielding the witch.
A turtle shell materialized behind him, snugly wrapping around his fat body.
He was an aged turtle in the half form of the mythical beast species.
The thunder spear struck his turtle shell, causing only minor damage.
The witch stood up slowly, her expression gloomy. If the old turtle hadn't shielded her from the damage just now, she might just die now.
"Indeed, a friend in need is a true friend"
Blackbeard sighed as he observed the scene.
"His abilities are strange!"
The witch cast a wary glance at Blackbeard and addressed the old turtle.
"You'd better take a look at our men first...."
Although the old turtle was not injured, his face had become very ugly.
"Subordinates?"
The witch paused, then scanned the surroundings, her face changing drastically.
Because all the elite members the Witch Pirates brought into battle moments ago had become lifeless corpses!
"How could this happen?!"
The witch screamed in disbelief.
Those crew members were the strongest in the Witch Pirate group.
How could they be killed so quickly by the Blackbeard pirate crew members?!
"I wasn't having a good time earlier, so why not drop by and join someone else's fight?"
Shiryu walked over calmly, holding a bloody katana, wearing a calm expression on his face.
To make matters worse, Burgess, Avalo Pizarro, and others joined in, surrounding the witch and the old turtle.
"Captain Blackbeard, their pirate group is way too weak"
Burgess laughed.
"After all, they are also crew members of the 1.4 billion pirates. Why can't they put up a decent fight?"
Avalo Pizarro expressed with some dissatisfaction.
Vasco Shot and Catarina Devon were no different. Everyone's faces remained calm, showing no signs of having been in a battle at all.
They were all formidable figures from the sixth-floor prison of Impel Down
Dealing with these Witch Pirates' subordinates came naturally and easily to them.
In that moment, the Witch and the Old Turtle felt immense pressure. Dealing with anyone in this 11-person pirate group was no easy task!
Out of nowhere!
The Witch transformed into a nine-tailed fox and swiftly charged into the crowd, instantly taking down several pirates.
Panic swept through the crowd!
The witch quickly utilized her fruit's power to mimic someone else, blending into the chaos of the crowd.
Her mimicry was so accurate that unless the person she imitated stood alongside her, judging solely by personality, it was impossible to distinguish who the real witch was!
"Captain Blackbeard, it looks like we're in a bit of trouble..."
Shiryu calmly took a puff of his cigar and spoke slowly.
"Did she ditch her husband and make a run for it? Wieehahaha!"
Burgess laughed loudly.
"The old turtle saved her life just now. Now it's quite amusing to ditch the old turtle and run away on her own."
Doc Q laughed.
"This fruit is quite fascinating with its ability to imitate people."
Catarina Devon also expressed her interest, particularly in the nine-tailed demon fox's fruit ability.
"Zeehahaha!!! Are you playing hide and seek with me?"
Blackbeard burst into laughter, but then his expression darkened, and with a murderous gleam in his eyes, he commanded, "Kill the old turtle first!"
If this old turtle hadn't intervened earlier, the witch would be lying lifeless now.
Naturally, he harbored resentment toward the old turtle.
"Witch..."
The old turtle gazed into the crowd with bewildered eyes. At that moment, even he couldn't discern who among them was the witch who had been his lifelong companion.
It wasn't true if he didn't feel the pain in his heart. Confronted with Blackbeard's murderous intent, a resigned smile crossed his face, and he addressed the crowd, "Live your lives well. Our era is drawing to a close, and as an old man, I'll take the first step."
