While finding suitable Devil Fruit for his crew members, Blackbeard also didn't neglect himself.
Although he didn't get the Tremor-Tremor Fruit he had been longing for, he found another powerful Devil Fruit.
Paramecia-type Sound-Wave Fruit!
Dark-Dark Fruit + Sound-Wave Fruit, he returned to the New World with new power.
He was determined to make his name known across the seas!
"Zehahahahaha... My subordinates, are you all ready??"
Blackbeard spread his arms and let out bursts of wild laughter to the sky.
"Wehahahahaha, Captain, let's turn the New World upside down!"
Champion Burgess felt invigorated again and began to show off his dead muscles.
"Hahahaha... Captain, lead us to fame across the seas!"
"Awooo—!"
In Catarina Demei's eyes, an endless ambition flashed.
Last time, Reno, that guy, stole all the thunder.
But now.
They would no longer be scared and run away at the mention of Reno's name.
The increase in strength gave them infinite confidence.
"A newspaper, please."
Website: www.53dushu.com QQ Group: 284251450
Amidst his laughter, Blackbeard saw a news-coo flying in the air.
He casually tossed two Berries over.
The news-coo chirped, dropped a newspaper with a plop, and some other detritus.
"What the hell!"
Blackbeard quickly dodged as he caught the newspaper.
How unlucky.
"Captain, we haven't been back for so long, I wonder if anything big has happened in the New World."
Van Auger carefully wiped his beloved gun, asking casually.
Their information on Reno was still stuck at him killing Big Mom.
Since then, there had been no news.
Although news spreads, the Grand Line and the New World are far apart, and they were busy searching for Devil Fruit.
Perhaps it was not surprising that they missed some important news.
"Zehahahahaha, my subordinates, our chance has come!"
Blackbeard glanced at the newspaper and burst into wild laughter again.
"See for yourselves."
He handed over the newspaper.
The confused crew members gathered around.
"Burp."
"What did Reno do to force the World Government to openly declare war on him??"
The Big Barrel Vasco Shot burped and asked with a frown.
Could it be that during their absence, Reno had done something that provoked the wrath of heaven and man again?
"Hehehehe... who cares."
"Demon Sheriff" Lafitte shook his head indifferently: "Isn't this what we wanted to see?"
"No matter who wins or loses between them, it will only benefit us."
At these words, everyone couldn't help but nod their heads.
After all, whether it was the World Government or Reno, they were all their enemies.
"Captain, cough cough, should we go and see??"
Doc Q, half-dead and lying on Stronger, said with his tongue out.
"Zehahahahaha... Of course we're going."
Blackbeard suddenly clenched his fists.
He returned as a king, so how could he miss such a good opportunity?
What if he could pick up some scraps on the battlefield?
After all, the Marine and Reynolds had several Devil Fruits he coveted.
"Zehahahahaha, lads, set sail for Beehive Island!"
"Aoooo—!!"
Blackbeard waved his hand, and the Blackbeard Pirates set sail.
At the same time.
Reynolds, one of the protagonists, was currently traveling by airship to the island where Uta was located.
Elegia, the "Kingdom of Music."
It was a kingdom closely associated with music.
Twelve years ago, Uta visited the Elegia Kingdom with the Red Hair Pirates. During her performance, she accidentally summoned the destructive creature tot musica, which resulted in the deaths of almost all the island's residents and the destruction of Elegia.
Since then, Elegia has become a ruin.
In the original story,
Gordon hid the tot musica deep within the ruins, which Uta later accidentally discovered. At her concert, she once again summoned the tot musica.
In the end, it took the combined might of two Four Emperors' Crews to stop Uta's scheme.
Unfortunately, in the end,
Reynolds, who knew everything, naturally wouldn't stand by and watch the tragedy unfold.
"Hmm."
"Captain, how do you plan to respond to the World Government?" York asked, stretching comfortably.
She had gone from initial shyness, panic, and helplessness to her current composure and adaptability.
During this time, she had experienced a lot.
Reynolds had left too many marks on her.
Because of the leak, Reynolds had really put her through it.
Several times, she thought she was going to be fucked to death.
In just a few days, she had been thoroughly tamed and was completely obedient to Reynolds.
Reynolds glanced at York indifferently, skillfully pinching her two small grapes and teasing, "What do you want to do?"
York's body trembled. Knowing that Reynolds had misunderstood her meaning, she frantically knelt before him, shaking her head like a rattle, "Captain, that's not what I meant."
She explained, her voice trembling.
"York, what's wrong with you?" Lilith and Atlas, who were sitting cross-legged nearby, asked in confusion.
York's behavior these past few days had been truly strange.
To their questioning, York just gave an awkward smile, "Nothing, nothing."
Reynolds knew she was just asking casually and didn't press the matter.
He took out a den den mushi from his system warehouse, predominantly yellow and black.
Its size was larger than a typical den den mushi.
This item was called a broadcast den den mushi.
One of Vegapunk's inventions.
The function of this den den mushi was to forcibly make all other den den mushi in the world broadcast its content.
Since he was the initiator, he naturally couldn't let the World Government lead him by the nose.
As long as it wasn't on his own territory, Reynolds didn't care where the fight took place.
But the timing had to be set by him.
Under the gaze of the women, Reynolds activated the broadcast den den mushi.
The moment the den den mushi opened its eyes,
An invisible radio wave signal swept out with lightning speed.
Before long,
Brr-brr.
Brr-brr.
Brr-brr.
Starting from the closest to the airship, it continuously radiated outwards.
den den mushi scattered across the world forcibly powered on as if possessed.
The den den mushi that were already working immediately fell silent, waiting quietly.
"This... what's going on?"
"Why isn't my den den mushi working?"
"This is really eerie!"
"Slap, slap (sound of slapping cheeks)"
""
Sounds of surprise and confusion rose and fell.
The same scene occurred wherever there was a den den mushi.
(Is this thing really that amazing?)
This included Naval Headquarters, Holy Land Mary Geoise, Revolutionary Army Headquarters, the Red Hair Pirates' base, and the Blackbeard Pirates' ship.
Seeing the unusual behavior of the den den mushi, everyone frowned in unison.
One or two might be broken.
But if all the den den mushi were acting so strangely, then something was definitely amiss.
"Everyone!!!"
Suddenly,
All the den den mushi spoke simultaneously, making the exact same sound.
Sengoku, the Five Elders, Blackbeard, Marco, and others' pupils suddenly constricted.
They were all too familiar with this voice.
"Reynolds!!!"
Around the world,
They squinted, gritting their teeth as they uttered the name of this detestable person.
Reynolds' voice, broadcast through the den den mushi, once again spread throughout the world.
"One month from now, Beehive Island. All who want my life, come!"
Brr-brr.
Brr-brr.
After a concise statement, all den den mushi hung up.
Those who were confused remained confused, but those who needed to know, knew.
Marineford, New Marineford.
"Reynolds!!!"
Sengoku slammed his fist on the table, his forehead furrowed into a 'river' shape.
"I'll let you live for one more month!"
Holy Land Mary Geoise.
Inside the magnificent castle,
"Reynolds, one month from now, I will take your life!!!"
Boom!!
The Blonde Five Elder was furious, his Armament Haki erupted, and he swung his staff, directly punching a large hole in the ground.
Revolutionary Army Headquarters.
Baltigo, Land of White Dirt.
"One month?" Dragon murmured softly inside the tall building.
A mysterious, faint light flashed in his eyes.
Red Hair Pirates' base.
"I didn't expect Reynolds to actually dare to challenge the entire world!" Lucky Roux shook his head in disdain.
Even Rocks, as strong as he was back then, probably wouldn't dare to say such a thing.
"This is going to be a good show," Yasopp said, cleaning his beloved gun without looking up, laughing.
"Lads, one month from now, set sail for Beehive Island!"
"But for now, let's have a feast!" Shanks waved his hand.
"Oh oh—!!" Everyone cheered like monkeys.
Blackbeard Pirates' main ship.
"Zehahahahaha, as expected of Reynolds, still as arrogant as ever!"
"Since that's the case, we absolutely must go watch the excitement!"
Hearing Reynolds' declaration to the whole world, Blackbeard was completely fired up.
"Captain, there's still a month. Are we going to Beehive Island now?" Demei, the "Crescent Moon Hunter," asked.
"Of course." Blackbeard nodded affirmatively.
"If I remember correctly, Beehive Island is Wang Zhi's territory now."
"Let's go meet him first!" Blackbeard commanded, and the ship sailed towards Beehive Island at an even faster speed.
On the airship,
Reynolds put away the broadcast den den mushi.
The reason he set the time for one month later was
besides subjugating the beauties scattered across the world, primarily because of Gerd and Carrot.
He had high hopes for the two of them.
One month in the outside world is ten months inside the Time Room.
With the assistance of the Time Room and the gravity training room,
by then, there would be two more Admiral-level combatants.
Besides himself, he also wanted The girls on the ship to shine brightly in front of the world.
"Let's go to the room; we shouldn't disturb their training."
Reno glanced at Gerd, Tashigi, Carrot, and Gunko, who were training in the distance.
Upon hearing this, York, Aslat, and Lilith stood up simultaneously.
The three walked out of the Time Room unclothed.
Anyway, they were going to do it, so it didn't matter whether they wore clothes or not.
Three days later.
New World, Elegia.
As a renowned music capital on the sea, it was once very prosperous and rich.
Many people who loved music and had an artistic temperament traveled thousands of miles to come here.
However, after that incident, tens of thousands of people died tragically.
The entire island was riddled with holes from destruction, presenting a desolate scene.
At the center of the island was a castle.
What was different from other places was that
although it was dilapidated, it was very clean.
Clearly, someone had been living here.
On the ruins outside, various types of birds perched.
They had their eyes closed, seemingly drawn by the singing from inside the castle.
"The New World is this future"
"Everything in the world, let's change it all"
Beautiful and melodious singing continuously emanated from within.
When a song finished, the singing abruptly stopped.
The birds opened their eyes, flapped their wings, and flew away one after another.
Inside the room.
The girl sitting at the piano exhaled a turbid breath and sighed, "I always feel like something isn't quite right."
"What exactly isn't right???"
She scratched her head, very troubled.
But here, no one could help her with her confusion.
Elegia, known as the Island of Destruction, was a place where even newspaper birds would not stop.
They would fly past without stopping.
"It's so boring."
Uta puffed out her cheeks, complaining as usual.
She wondered how Luffy was doing.
A figure with two rows of large teeth, laughing heartily, appeared in her mind.
Did Luffy still remember her, his childhood friend?!
"Perhaps he already forgot about me."
Uta gave a self-deprecating smile, a look of loneliness on her face.
When bored, she always imagined things like this.
Tap, tap, tap.
Tap, tap, tap.
Suddenly.
Urgent footsteps sounded outside the door.
With a bang, the door was pushed open.
A tall, slender figure with a peculiar head and a weathered face walked in.
"Gordon? Is something wrong?"
Uta asked with some surprise.
Gordon gasped for breath, pointing outside and saying, "Uta, hide quickly, someone's here."
"Huh??"
"Really??"
Hearing that someone was here, Uta was not afraid; instead, she was unusually excited.
Besides Gordon, she hadn't seen a stranger in over ten years.
Why hide??
"Gordon, I'm going out to see."
Ignoring Gordon's advice, Uta was as nimble as a little rabbit, and she darted out.
"Uta, don't go out!!"
Gordon's face changed drastically, and he hurriedly chased after her.
At the same time.
Reno, accompanied by York, Lilith, and Atlas, walked on this dilapidated island.
As for Gerd and the others, they were training against time in the Time Room.
"Captain, is the person you're looking for really here??"
Looking at the surrounding desolation, Lilith questioned.
"She's already here."
Reno smiled slightly, looking up ahead.
A girl with red and white hair, wearing headphones and a feathered outfit, was rushing towards them.
One might think they were old friends who hadn't seen each other for years.
"Uta."
Reno softly whispered the person's name, a smile playing on his lips.
Paramecia-type Uta Uta no Mi (Sing-Sing Fruit) user.
If used well, Admirals and Yonko would all have to kneel.
"Hello everyone!!"
Uta shouted loudly, greeting Reno and the three others enthusiastically.
Seeing unfamiliar faces, she was very happy.
Despite the physical exertion, Uta ran breathlessly to Reno.
She briefly sized up the four.
Handsome men and beautiful women.
It was just that the size difference was a bit large.
Reno and Lilith were relatively normal.
York was over four meters tall, and Aslat was over seven meters.
But none of that mattered.
"Hello, Uta."
Reno grinned.
"Huh?"
Uta let out a surprised sound, blinking her big eyes, and asked in confusion:
"Do you know me??"
"Of course, I do."
Reno smiled and nodded.
His gaze lingered a moment longer on Uta's graceful figure.
The 19-year-old girl had grown into quite a beauty.
"What are your names??"
"Why do you know me?"
"Brother and sister, where are you from??"
"Do you know Luffy??"
"What's the world outside the sea like?"
"..."
Uta completely opened up, asking over a dozen questions all at once.
It seemed she had been waiting for this day for a long time.
