Chapter 65: 065 Unfortunate Timing
In the New World, on an ancient island,
There are just 10 days remaining until the halfway point of the year.
The island is chaotic, with the ancient jungle scattered with the bodies of various rare and exotic animals.
Cracks are scattered everywhere, bearing witness to the damage caused by lightning. The island appears to have weathered the fury of nature.
During this moment, a sea lizard approached the shore along a river on the island.
Blackbeard was casually seated atop the lizard.
His appearance has undergone significant changes. While he may not possess the type of handsome face that sparks envy among women, he exudes a mature and stable sense of manliness.
His clothes were in tatters, and his once fat belly now appeared lean and muscular. The contours of his muscles were very obvious. At first glance, he seemed like a robust and vigorous man.
Radiating a mature and handsome aura!
"Zeehahahaha, time flies so fast"
Blackbeard laughed heartily, his voice transforming along with his changed physique. It now carried a more pleasant tone than before.
"I wonder how far the Blackbeard Pirates have progressed now"
Blackbeard murmured.
"My era as Blackbeard is coming!"
After uttering these words, he and his pet left the ancient island, venturing into the vast seas of the New World.
...
Approximately thirty minutes later, a huge pirate ship arrived near the ancient island in the sea.
The flag on the pirate ship bears three skulls, unmistakably belonging to the Blackbeard Pirates!
"Captain Blackbeard! We're here to pick you up!"
Burgess shouted from the ship to the island shore.
However, a deathly silence hung over the island, not even the sounds of animals can be heard
"What happened?"
Shiryu frowned, and then all the captains landed on the island together.
As they looked at the corpses on the island, their expressions turned heavy.
"Under the perception of Observation Haki, there's no longer a living creature on the island..."
Vasco Shot said in shock.
Burgess and the others were also left stunned.
When they arrived on this island half a year ago, this island was filled with life. Why was there not a single living thing left after just six months?
"Where's Captain Blackbeard?" Burgess inquired.
"Captain Blackbeard should have left..."
After Shiryu observed for a moment, he finally responded to Burgess.
The captain left?...
At that moment, the faces of the Blackbeard Pirates' captains couldn't help but show a hint of shock.
The Whitebeard pirates remnants, led by Marco, are currently heading to Beehive Island, and a war is about to break out.
Without Captain Blackbeard, the Blackbeard Pirates might truly struggle in the upcoming war.
"Don't worry, I think Captain Blackbeard will definitely go directly to Beehive Island."
Shiryu said solemnly, though now it's only a hope.
In the end, they returned without Blackbeard.
...
In a sea area of the New World,
Blackbeard lay on the sea lizard's head, wandering along as it roamed the seas.
He appears quite relaxed and carefree. The half-year training has been fruitful, and now he just wants to enjoy himself.
"Boom!"
The explosion of a cannonball suddenly echoed behind Blackbeard's ears.
Blackbeard remained lying on the huge lizard's body with a calm expression, as if that battle had nothing to do with him.
"Bonney, you'd better come with me, hahaha, it would be great to go back to my island and be my wife!"
A wretched-looking pirate laughed at Jewelry Bonney.
At this moment, his pirate group had surrounded the Bonney Pirates, and the Bonney Pirates' ship was on the verge of sinking under the relentless bombardment.
"In your dreams! I won't let a disgusting guy like you succeed, even if it costs me my life!"
Bonney's face turned grim at that moment.
For the past six months, she has been searching for Blackbeard, but it seems like he has disappeared from the New world. There is no news about him on the seas.
Only Blackbeard Pirates are causing chaos in the New World.
Now a full-scale war breaks out between the Whitebeard Pirates and the Blackbeard Pirates.
She thinks Blackbeard will surely appear now, and she wanted to infiltrate the war to assassinate him, which is why she is present here.
However, she didn't anticipate encountering the Wolf Pirates on her way to Beehive Island and becoming the target of their captain.
"I just like fierce beauty like you!"
The Hungry wolf declared, staring directly at Bonney. With her appearance, she was undoubtedly the standout among the many female pirates.
After meeting Bonney in his own territory, he naturally didn't want to let her go. Then, he said The cannon destroyed Bonney's pirate ship, and Bonney was also captured by their pirate group.
"Fortunately, I still have a Sea Stone handcuff here; otherwise, I would be in trouble."
The hungry wolf stared at Bonney and remarked, obviously he was aware that she possessed Devil Fruit abilities.
"I won't let you, Hungry Wolf Pirates, get away!"
Bonney declared fiercely as she kicked the hungry wolf.
She had made a grave decision. If the hungry wolf attempted to attack her, she was determined not to let him succeed even if it cost her life.
"Hahaha, what a worst generation, what a supernova! You are gonna be my woman. By the way, I, the Hungry Wolf, was also a supernova three years ago!"
The hungry wolf laughed heartily.
"Congratulations to the captain on finding a lady again!"
The pirates around him had already started offering their congratulations.
However, at this moment, a sea lizard swam towards their pirate ship. Its pace was neither fast nor slow, and soon it arrived at their ship.
They swam calmly next to their ship.
Hungry Wolf and his pirate crew closely watched Blackbeard on the sea lizard.
Blackbeard closed his eyes and lay comfortably on the sea lizard, paying no attention to the Hungry Wolf or the presence of his pirate crew.
