Chapter 629 Fire and Darkness
...
City of Seven Waters
With the personal escort of the navy hero Garp, oh no, he was personally arrested, Garp's beloved grandson Straw Hat Luffy and his crew were able to recuperate in peace in the Seven Water City. After everyone recovered and the new ship was built, they set sail again.
Just like this, after the Straw Hat Pirates caused a big disturbance on the Judicial Island and openly challenged the World Government, they were still able to continue their happy adventures on the sea safely, which fully demonstrated that if you want to make it in life, you need to have a background.

"Thief hahahaha! You really did something amazing! Straw Hat Boy!"
A middle-aged man with a rough appearance, a sturdy build, dark skin, abundant body hair, and long black curly hair, couldn't help laughing with several missing teeth after reading the news in the newspaper.
"Hey, hey, hey! Van Oka, take a look at this! It's news about the Straw Hat Pirates!"
The middle-aged man happily threw the newspaper to a companion who was carrying a sniper rifle.
"The newspaper said they captured Judicial Island! The bounty on all of them has gone up! Now it seems that letting them escape last time may not be a bad thing. Now they are even more worth hunting! As long as we kill them, we will become famous in one fell swoop!"
"Judicial Island? They should be resting on a nearby island. The most likely place is the Seven Waters City, which is on their original route. It happens to be not far from here! Is this another arrangement of fate?"
Fan Oka said while looking at the bounty notices for several people with a frown.
"Are the World Government and the Navy serious about this? The bounty on a bunch of pirate rookies who haven't even grown all their hair yet is over 10 billion berries? And who is this Tony Tony Chopper? Why is his bounty higher than the captain's?"
"Tony Tony Chopper? I seem to have heard it somewhere before, but it doesn't matter. They are just a bunch of newbies and there is no way they can be our opponents! Hahahahaha!!"
Tikki laughed confidently.
"They actually happened to appear within our hunting range. How pitiful! These unlucky newcomers! Are their pirate careers going to end just after they became famous? Cough cough! Cough cough cough!"
A white-haired old man lying on the horse's back, dying, spoke weakly, and then he began to cough violently.
It is the Blackbeard Pirates’ ship’s doctor, Poison Q.
"Wei~~~~Hahaha! What are you waiting for! Let's go quickly, Captain! It's time to hunt!"
A big man with a strong upper body and a thin lower body, with a golden belt around his waist, shouted excitedly.
It was none other than the Blackbeard Pirates' helmsman, boxing champion, Gizas Bajes.
"Of course we're going! Let's get ready to go! Yay guys! Target the Straw Hat Pirates! Thieves, hahahaha!"
Tikki ordered with a laugh.
"But, Captain Teach, don't we have to wait for Lafitte? We have an appointment with him to meet here."
Fan Oka adjusted his glasses with aiming scales and reminded.
"That guy is too slow. Could he have been left behind by the navy? Weihahahaha!"
Badgers said with a grin, not showing any sign of worry for his companions' safety.
"No need to wait for him. Lafitte is so confident in taking on this task, so just leave it to him. If he doesn't come back, it only means that he is only this capable!"
“Wei～～～! You are so right! Captain Teach!”
"We don't have time to feel sad for him. The most important thing is to get the pledge as soon as possible! It's rare that Straw Hat Boy helped us get rid of one of the Shichibukai, freeing up a position so that we don't have to go out of our way to find trouble with those monsters. The title of Shichibukai will facilitate our future actions!"
"Thief hahahaha!"
Teach made the decision, and the other three applauded!
They were just companions, and if they died they could find others, so the four of them began to walk towards the port where the ships were docked.
"Hey~ wait a minute, I finally found you! Tikki!"
Suddenly a voice came from behind. Teach stopped and turned around to see a familiar man squatting on the roof of a wooden house next to him.
"Wow! Isn't this the respected Captain Ace~!"
Teach pretended to be surprised and deliberately emphasized the word "captain".
"Shut up! You still have the nerve to call me captain after all this! Are you mocking me on purpose? Captain Marshall D. Teach of the Blackbeard Pirates~!"
"Hahahaha! What's that? I don't care. Ace, it's just a joke, no need to be so serious!"
Teach laughed.
"Let's not waste any more time talking. You've been on the sea for so many years, it's impossible that you don't understand what's going on right now, right? Teach!"
"Whitebeard Pirates, Captain of the Second Division, Fire Fist, Ace!"
All members of the Blackbeard Pirates prepared for battle with a cautious look on their faces.
"Yeah, yeah, I see. Before that, please listen to my last words, Ace."
Tikki said loudly, waving his hand.
"Hey, don't attack him on your own, he's not someone you can defeat!"
Teach warned the three people nearby who were ready to make a move.
"Hehehe, got it, Captain."
"Hey, Ace, do you want to join us? Let's dominate the entire sea together! Dad is too old, and the era of Whitebeard is over! I must be the one who can become the Pirate King!"
"As long as I kill the Straw Hat Pirates as a token of my allegiance, I can become a Shichibukai, and then..."
While Teach was describing his ideal blueprint with an enthusiastic look on his face, Ace's expression became increasingly gloomy.
"What nonsense are you talking about? It seems like there's one more reason why I can't let you go! Straw Hat Luffy is my brother! Teach!"
"what?"
"fire punch!!"
"Boom!"
Fire and darkness,
A fierce collision!

Bird's Nest Island
Although many people have not yet returned, the castle hall has begun to become lively.
Captain Gel was busy recognizing people. During the time he was away, he recruited a lot of new people and second-generation members.
"Boss Gel, let me introduce you to this little kid I picked up, Perona."
A girl with pink twin ponytails walked out from behind Moria.
The girl wore a crown, a cute dress, and held a small burgundy umbrella in her hand.
