Arceus's Pirate Journey

But this attack didn’t even compel King to dodge; what Lunarians pride themselves on most is not fire manipulation and flight ability, but their resilient vitality.

The fire behind them signifies their form, and when it burns, their defense is extremely strong; such ordinary attacks can’t break their defense.

Only Blackbeard’s intervention provided Laffitte a respire, allowing him to smoothly escape King’s attack.

”Still have the courage to attack?”

”After plotting for decades, how could I let you ruin it here! Dark Water!”

Facing Blackbeard’s attack, King didn’t choose to meet it but instead used his wings to create distance. The previous contact made him understand what Blackbeard’s ability exactly was.

It didn’t affect him upon contact, and King could still fly, but he didn’t want Blackbeard to limit his abilities like that.

”You have the skill; why not see if you can stop them all? Hikaseiou!”

Rock Slide fused with flames, a more powerful Fire Meteor descended from the sky.

Its power was not as strong as Akainu’s Meteor Volcano, but the burning rocks covered a vast area.

Whether it was Blackbeard in front, Laffitte distancing himself, or Burgess and Doc Q fleeing, all were covered by the fiery rain.

”Dark Acupoint Path!”

Blackbeard could only choose to unleash darkness to fend off King’s attack. But at this moment, King noticed something different on the horizon; three masts gradually appeared, and the Navy’s seagull flag entered King’s view.

Blackbeard, who was knocked back to the ground again, also noticed the three advancing warships and immediately laughed.

”Thief hahaha! Here they come, finally! Imagine, I’ve already made deals with the Navy; now my status is with the Seven Warlords of the Sea!”

Old habits die hard; arrogance is Blackbeard’s nature, and even if he’s suffered because of it, he still hasn’t changed.

The Navy’s arrival made him feel he had reinforcements and regained his confidence.

According to the arrangement between Blackbeard and the Navy, he would hand Ace over to exchange for a spot among the Seven Warlords of the Sea. These transporting Navy must carry the Warlord appointment letter; from this moment, he’s already an ally with the Navy.

”Just wait, I will repay today’s grudge sooner or later!”

”Why wait any longer? Why not settle it now?”

King’s words interrupted Blackbeard’s train of thought; he initially thought King would choose to retreat upon seeing the Navy’s support, but facing this flying opponent, Blackbeard had no choice but to make bold statements.

He hadn’t anticipated that King, facing the Navy’s warships, had no intention of retreating.

”You...!”

”The nuisances have arrived, so the game of cat and mouse should end. But you can try; let’s see if they can save you!”

To avoid interference, King decided to quickly resolve Blackbeard.

King’s form began to change, cloaked in a white light covering the pterodactyl’s body. As the light faded, several sharp rock spikes had appeared on his wings and body.
