Chapter 1313: Returning to devil maw Island (21)
Translator: 549690339
The night was getting darker.
The cold sea breeze brought a cloud over, covering the Blood Moon in the sky with a thin veil.
The gradually dimming light seemed to be foretelling something. An atmosphere of impending rain had quietly enveloped the broken devil maw Island.
At this moment, at the southern border of the North Island.
“Since you’re already here, why are you still hiding?” Blackbeard stood on a smooth rock, facing the sea, and said without turning his head.
!!His voice wasn’t loud, but it was enough for ambitionist to hear.
A few seconds later, ambitionist walked out from the forest behind them. He adjusted his glasses and said calmly,””It seems … I have to thank you.”
“Why?” Blackbeard answered his own question.”Because I didn ‘t’ drag ‘you out of the forest and crush you to death like I did with the illusion fiend church?”
“Yes,” Ambitionist shrugged and replied,”just for this.”
“Don’t misunderstand. ” Blackbeard continued,”it’s not that I don’t want to do it, but I can ‘t.”
“In other words …” Ambitionist’s sharp senses picked up the hidden message in the other party’s words.”…That trick doesn’t work on just anyone.”
“Isn’t that obvious?” Blackbeard continued,”if I could use it on whoever I wanted, I would have ‘pulled’ Mad Eye over and ended the battle quickly during the day.”
“Hmm …” Ambitionist thought for a second.”The activation condition is related to the individual strength of the ‘target’, right?”
“That’s right. ” As Blackbeard spoke, he raised his hand and ‘sucked’ a stone from the ground into his hand.”As long as it’s not too big, I can control it with my telekinesis. As for living things … It depends on the strength of the energy they contain. ”
“Ha …” Ambitionist chuckled when he heard this.
“What are you laughing at?” Blackbeard asked.
“It just occurred to me …” Ambitionist replied with a smile.”When I was on the Queen’s revenge, I vaguely heard a few sailors talking. One of them said …’This ship is alive and will listen to the captain’s orders. I once saw the rope on the ship move on its own and hang a guy who was trying to sneak an attack on the captain to death’.”
“Oh … About that.” Blackbeard said,”indeed, I did it on purpose to cause such a ‘misunderstanding’ among some of the weaker sailors. This helps them to maintain their respect for me.”
“Then … What about the members with higher combat strength?” Ambitionist paused and looked at the officers around Blackbeard.”They should be able to tell that the ‘things on the ship moving on their own’ is your ability … How did you make them respect you?”
“It’s simple. ” As Blackbeard spoke, he turned around and looked at ambitionist.”My officers … Naturally know better than the low-combat crew how strong I am. And the more they clearly recognize my strength, the less likely they will have the courage to resist me. ”
“I see.” Ambitionist nodded and adjusted his glasses.
On the surface, ambitionist seemed to be able to handle the situation with ease, but he was actually quite nervous and was prepared to face a sudden attack at any time.
“Alright, let’s end the chit chat here.” Two seconds later, ambitionist said,”since you’ve found me and called me out, it means that … There’s still room for negotiation, right?”
Even though they had not known each other for long, ambitionist was sure that Blackbeard was a cunning old fox, so there was no need to beat around the bush.
It was easy to understand … If Blackbeard wanted to get rid of ambitionist, he would not even talk to ambitionist. He would just return and catch ambitionist off guard. That would be the best way to get rid of him.
Now that Blackbeard had taken the initiative to negotiate with ambitionist, it meant that there was still room for negotiation.
“Heh … If I remember correctly, you’re called ‘ambitionist’?” Blackbeard asked with a sneer.
“Yes, I am.” Ambitionist replied in a neutral tone.
“Okay, ambitionist brother …” Blackbeard suddenly changed the way he addressed ambitionist. From ambitionist’s perspective, this was not a good thing.”I’ll be honest with you … I still believe what you and that brother snow said, but Feng bujue … I can ‘t.” He paused and extended his hand to make an inviting gesture.”As long as you tell me your ‘real mission’ and promise to cut all ties with Feng bujue … We can still work together.”
Ambitionist’s expression changed when he heard that. He thought,””What a terrifying fellow … Compared to his unfathomable martial strength, this Overlord of the sea of chaos’s schemes and shrewdness are the real trouble …”
“What’s wrong?” A few seconds later, Blackbeard asked,”do I need to consider this?”
He was indeed a terrifying man. He knew that at this time, he needed to continue the pressure so that the other party would not have enough time and spare time to think.
“Ha! Hahahaha …”Fortunately, the person standing here is ambitionist.” Good, that’s what I want.”
The title of wise general was not an undeserved reputation. These few seconds were already enough for him to settle the score.
“Oh?” Blackbeard was surprised to see ambitionist’s reaction.
“Captain, to be honest …” Ambitionist put on a cunning face.”I have never considered Feng bujue as a partner.” He looked around and said,”there’s no one else here … I’m telling you, I’ve been wanting to kill him for a long time.”
“Is that so …?” Blackbeard was not stupid. These few words and acting skills were far from enough to convince him.
“Of course I am.” Ambitionist said,”look, the fact that I’m here means that snow and I have already left Feng bujue alone in the clearing, right?”
“Didn’t you guys agree to split up?” Blackbeard’s reaction was extremely fast. He immediately thought of another possibility and asked.
However, ambitionist was also very powerful. Even though he was seen through and the truth was revealed, he still tried his best to control his expression … His expression did not change, and he answered smoothly,””Hmph … In that kind of situation? Don’t joke around, Captain. ” He shook his head and said,”if it were you, would you agree to let your only two helpers leave when you’re facing three strong enemies, two of whom are on the level of the nine gods?”
“Hmm …” Blackbeard sighed.”Indeed, relatively speaking, you and snow made use of the fact that ‘the enemy’s target is only Feng bujue’ and seized the opportunity to’ abandon Feng bujue and escape ‘.”
“Isn’t that so. ” Ambitionist heaved a sigh of relief when he heard this and quickly replied.
Unexpectedly, Blackbeard changed the topic in the next second.
“What a pity … I still don’t believe you!” After saying this, Blackbeard suddenly threw the stone that he had “sucked” into his hand at ambitionist.
