Chapter 124: 123 Mind Games
"What's happening, Mother?"
"Look at Beehive Island, there's no one left, and no ships either. Where did Blackbeard take all the ships? Could it be a trap?"
Big Mom said to Charlotte Perospero next to her while she observed the situation ahead.
"Blackbeard has always been scheming, so we should be cautious. And why is the sea so calm? What tricks is this guy using? Perhaps he got scared and retreated with his troops"
At that moment, Charlotte Perospero couldn't help but feel secretly happy with his speculation.
It seems Blackbeard was just bluffing. When he heard that the Big Mom Pirates were coming, he got scared and ran away. Thinking this, Charlotte Perosperro felt happy and told Big Mom about it.
"Perorin, Mother, I think Blackbeard was probably scared away by us. Just think about it, which pirate crew has dared to challenge us for so long?"
Despite Charlotte Perosperro's arrogant idea, Big Mom, as a veteran Four Emperors, seemed to have different thoughts on her mind.
She felt that since Blackbeard dared to stir up trouble this time, he must have certain abilities. Otherwise, he wouldn't challenge her authority without reason.
How dare he provoke so recklessly?
"That's not it. I don't think that's the case. What kind of strategy is this guy trying to use against us?"
"He could set a trap if the plan fails. Our ships are sill floating, so even if he sets a trap, he can't trap us. I think you're overly worried, Mother."
Charlotte Perosperro has always been firm in his beliefs.
"Our pirate Crew has always been unbeatable. This guy was so arrogant to try tactics before, which shows he underestimated our strength. Now he knows better."
"Mother, I suggest we lead our crew and let him come straight to us. From now on, Beehive Island will be our territory."
It may seem like an inevitable victory, but in the eyes of the experienced Big Mom, things aren't so certain.
She instructed Charlotte Perosperro to slow down the ship behind them. They needed to see the situation carefully before launching an attack to avoid being annihilated or falling into an ambush by Blackbeard.
"Quick, give the order to prevent a big mistake!"
Charlotte Perosperro had no other thought but to hurry to Beehive Island to claim the territory, but Big Mom didn't allow it.
He felt his mother was overly cautious.
Observing the calm sea, there was nothing out of the ordinary.
In Big Mom's mind, however, it was something else.
He raised his binoculars and scanned the high platform of Beehive Island. He spotted a group of people seated there, but there were not many people.
Could it be that when she was leading her pirates fleet to attack Beehive Island, Blackbeard thought it was a joke .
Or perhaps the other party had no knowledge of his arrival at all. With this in mind, Big Mom decided to send a messenger to inform Blackbeard.
This way, Blackbeard would be able to respond accordingly if he knew they were coming to attack Beehive Island.
She hoped for a real battle with Blackbeard.
This situation made Big Mom feel like she was in a big trap.
It wasn't cowardly that held her back from advancing, but rather the realization that in this vast sea, if Blackbeard truly set a trap, her chances of escaping didn't seem promising.
How could she abandon the foundation she had finally built?
With this in mind, Big Mom turned to Charlotte Perosperro beside her and spoke.
"Send someone to row a boat and deliver a message to Blackbeard and his crew, tell them that we are prepared to attack Beehive Island"
"Mother, we're already ahead of them with such a massive force. Do we really need to inform them?"
Charlotte Perosperro looked at Big Mom with doubtful eyes.
Even if Blackbeard was foolish enough not to believe that Big Mom Pirates will in such a large ship formation, wouldn't he have realized by now? Why bother with unnecessary fanfare?
"I did this firstly to test if he was deceiving us, and secondly to see if he truly didn't know we were here to fight"
"This fight was initiated by Blackbeard, how could he not be cautious of us?"
The two began arguing about it.
At that moment, Blackbeard sat on the high platform, observing the ship of the Four Emperors, which appeared to have stopped.
"This is truly confusing. We've practically rolled out the red carpet for them, yet they hesitate to come in. Hey, Captain, could it be that your move was too clever for them?"
Burgess, who had always been frowning, actually had a smile on his face.
No wonder. Blackbeard sat firmly in the midst of the upcoming army, showing no sign of fear. It seems he intended to intimidate the Four Emperors and the others in this manner.
This move is solid and unyielding. Each time passed will make these people lose the will to fight.
"Do you think these people should be scared and run away?"
Burgess muttered to himself.
"Now that they're here, don't even dream of leaving alive,"
Blackbeard's eyes gleamed with a cunning light, and sneered evilly.
The entire pirate crew is awaiting their fate on Beehive Island, but what plan does Blackbeard have in mind?
If the other party doesn't advance and intends to kill them, it's simple. But without a real confrontation, there's no way to defeat the other party.
Here, Blackbeard boasted that he intended to end the lives of Yonko Big Mom and her pirate crew.
"Kuzan, go prepare bombs and gasoline. "
Kuzan didn't ask anything, but turned around and walked towards the center of Beehive Island
"Is the captain planning to burn down Yonko Big Mom and their ships?"
"Yes, after a while when these people are on their backs, you can take the opportunity to set all their ships on fire and cut off their retreat."
It's another big question mark. How can people fall on their backs when they're already on their backs? At that moment, Kuzan didn't say anything but checked quietly.
Seeing Blackbeard's expression, a glimmer of hope flickered on his face. Who is this captain? What plan is he devising? Why is everyone kept in the dark about it?
"But if their ships don't come close, we won't be able to penetrate."
"Take a few people and stay ready at all times."
Kuzan took the order and departed. At that moment, Blackbeard remained seated, steadily observing the situation at sea. He noticed a small boat rowing towards him.
As the large fleet of ships halted behind, Blackbeard understood that it was the Fourth Emperor, Big Mom, who sent people to investigate the situation.
This old woman was cunning enough not to advance when faced with such a flat sea. Of course, anyone would think it's a huge trap.
Watching the boat getting closer, Blackbeard told the people on the high platform to evacuate quickly.
"Let's evacuate for now"
Blackbeard ordered. Several captains followed him, puzzled about what the captain was up to.
