One Piece: I Am Marshall D. Teach
墨書 Inktalez
The tenth Global Beauty Pageant has concluded, and the title of the most beautiful woman has been taken from the pirate Boa Hancock by the mermaid princess Shirahoshi.
Is this a reflection of human nature or a shift in morality?
"Let's interview the expert, Teacher Tian."
The third Food Festival is in full swing, yet renowned gourmet Kalu believes this year's offerings are lackluster.
However, he was impressed by a young man's pork intestines, considering him a talent worth nurturing.
What is all this nonsense?
Blackbeard flipped through the newspaper three times, but it was filled with nothing but entertainment news. Was there no serious information or intelligence to be found?
It felt just like a newspaper from Earth.
Having unexpectedly crossed into the world of One Piece and become the infamous Blackbeard, his thoughts had completely merged with that of the character. Now, Blackbeard was him, and he was Blackbeard.
His mind held no information about Luffy; he only knew that he was on the run after killing Saatchi, recruiting several equally ambitious and formidable crew members along the way.
As for where they stood in the manga's storyline, it was truly hard to determine.
The vast ocean, heavy and majestic, captivated him—a man who had never seen the sea in his life. Yet even such unchanging scenery could become tiresome after a while.
He had to find some amusement; otherwise, this long journey would be unbearably dull.
This newspaper had been snatched from an old man watching over the town before he set off. He had expected the old man to be concerned about worldly matters and significant events, but instead, he found only this kind of content.
"Swish, swish."
Seeing Blackbeard flipping through the newspaper repeatedly, the helmsman Bajess couldn't help but speak up.
"Captain, is the mermaid princess White Star really that beautiful? You've been flipping through that newspaper for three days straight; it's almost falling apart."
Though the captain was known for his lecherous ways, it was unusual for him to fixate on one person.
"Once we complete this mission, we can have any woman we want. Is it really necessary to hang ourselves on one tree?"
"Get lost!"
Blackbeard couldn't hold back any longer, rolling the newspaper into a tube and tossing it at Bajess's head.
A perfect hit!
"Get back to rowing! I want to see Jaya before tonight!"
This was a pirate gathering place he had heard about from his crew, a perfect spot to hide out and restock supplies.
"Or else I'll punish you by making you eat pig intestines!"
Blackbeard issued the command fiercely. This brat had tarnished his reputation for no reason.
"Really? A dish praised by the master must be delicious!"
"Captain, you are so good to me."
Bajess scratched his head, his face full of anticipation as he spoke to Blackbeard.
"Get lost."
Blackbeard shouted angrily at Bajess.
This guy is hopeless.
How did I end up with such a crew member?
However, when Bajess rolled up his sleeves and, using a wooden oar, managed to push the drifting ship to keep pace with the flying birds, Blackbeard was indeed impressed.
As expected of the crew member I carefully selected; he’s quite remarkable.
With his keen eyes, Blackbeard noticed that the bird overhead was a newsboy bird, laden with newspapers and tiredly working for the capitalists.
Finally, I can see the new newspapers; I need to keep up with the beauty pageants—no, I mean international affairs.
"Oka, bring that bird down for me!"
"At your command."
Fan Oka had always been taciturn, lost in thought, and no one knew what he was pondering.
However, his marksmanship was indeed precise; sitting atop the mast, he casually fired a shot that struck a soaring seabird.
Watching the bird lose its momentum and begin to plummet, Fan Oka rarely spoke a word:
"This is fate."
Blackbeard extended his hand to catch the seabird, black smoke emanating from his palm as it slowly consumed the creature, leaving only a bundle of newspapers in his grasp.
This was his latest skill. Compared to his previous flamboyant displays, he had put considerable effort into refining his abilities, a result of the boredom he experienced while sailing the seas.
He could selectively devour certain things without damaging others.
It was like smashing an apple; that was easy enough. But if you could use your fist to crush only half of the apple while leaving the other half intact, that would be quite a challenge.
Eagerly, Blackbeard opened the newspaper to read.
As he unfolded it, several bold black characters caught his eye.
"The evil plan of former Warlord of the Sea Crocodile has been thwarted by a Rear Admiral of the Navy."
Blackbeard couldn't help but murmur, "Crocodile has been defeated?"
"What time is this?"
“Could it be...?”
As Blackbeard pondered deeply, a burly man wrapped in a purple turban leaned over to sneak a look at the news on the newspaper.
After all, drifting at sea for so long was truly boring.
“When did this happen? The Crocodile was actually defeated.”
“That’s someone who is on par with the Demon Barrett!”
The diligent Bajess, who had been rowing earnestly, immediately set down his work to check out the news upon hearing that the Crocodile had been defeated.
Blackbeard didn’t pay attention to Bajess. He connected the defeat of the Crocodile with the timing of his own pursuit, arriving at an accurate conclusion.
“I understand now. I know everything.”
“It’s now that Monkey D. Luffy has defeated Crocodile, moving towards the Sky Island arc.”
“And we will meet in Magic Valley Town for a classic encounter.”
Blackbeard instantly thought of many things, including the iconic line:
A person's dream will never end!
It was precisely this line that attracted countless fans.
But now he was Blackbeard, and things were bound to change.
"What would happen if I sent Luffy to the underwater prison?"
"Would Karp go crazy? Would Shanks come after me? Where would the war at Marineford lead?"
Just thinking about it was exhilarating!
Perhaps influenced by Blackbeard's previous thoughts, he no longer considered the consequences of capturing Luffy; he only wanted to give the world a big surprise!
As for the Tremor-Tremor Fruit—
It would be great to have it, but even if he couldn't get it, there were plenty of other fruits to choose from.
For example: the Thunder-Thunder Fruit!
In an instant, Blackbeard connected all these dots.
However, his crew did not share his enthusiasm.
"Captain, Captain! What nonsense are you talking about?"
"What do you mean by Sky Island, Ace, and the Seven Warlords? It’s all jumbled up!"
Bajess waved his hand in front of Blackbeard, who had been acting strangely for the past two days. Now it seemed to be getting worse.
The captain was truly exhausted; he needed a good rest. While he took his break, I, as the acting captain, would take on the responsibilities!
"Smack."
Blackbeard slapped Bajess awake.
"What are you doing here? Aren't you supposed to be rowing properly?"
"No, Captain, I just heard about Crocodile."
Bajess hurriedly explained that he wasn't slacking off; he had been rowing but had come over to check out the big news.
"What does Crocodile have to do with you? Hurry up! We have urgent matters. Notify all crew members to change course to Magic Valley Town. We need to arrive there before tonight, or you won't get a meal all day!"
"But we're already on the way to Magic Valley Town!"
"Magic Valley Town is just a small town on Jaya Island."
Bajess hesitated, wanting to suggest that the captain might be losing his mind, but he was afraid of getting his head knocked and ending up as foolish as the captain.
It would be better to consult Doctor Poison Q later for a thorough examination. Although his medical skills were lacking and he only knew how to poison, he was still a doctor.
A doctor should be able to treat illnesses.
Blackbeard's face turned red from Bajess's words, but thankfully his thick black beard concealed it; otherwise, he would have been embarrassed in front of everyone.
Blackbeard had thick skin and quickly returned to normal after two seconds, unleashing a torrent of scolding at Bajess.
“Do you know we’re heading to Magic Valley Town and yet you’re still dawdling?”
“If it weren’t for your laziness, we would have arrived by now.”
Alright, alright, the issue was shifted away.
However, Blackbeard thought it might not be the best approach. He decided to soften his words a bit and patted Bajess on the shoulder.
“Bajess, let’s work hard. If we make it to Magic Valley Town tonight, I’ll allow you to eat as much as you want. Buy whatever you desire.”
After all, we are pirates—fierce pirates—not exactly the good guys.
If there’s no food, we’ll just take what we need.
That’s how real pirates should be.
“Really? I want to eat pig intestines!” Bajess exclaimed with anticipation.
“Get lost.”
