"How pathetic..."
"Besides being thrown into the great undersea prison, I haven’t been this pathetic in who knows how many years, meow."
"Hmph... the price of arrogance!"
"What a pity for that bunch of fools. I wonder how many of them will get out alive~."
"If they’re dead, they’re dead. Fools like them are a dime a dozen in the New World. We can just replenish them when we get back to our world."
"The key problem now is that with the few people we have left, even if we successfully occupy this ninja village, we won’t have the military strength to intimidate them."
"Then let’s go find the Knight King. Let the captain pay some price and ask him to open the ’double-pass’ once so we can go back and replenish our forces."
"..."
The behavior and conversation of the cadres of the Blackbeard Pirates who had climbed out of the pit made the Iwagakure ninjas, who were not far away, shiver.
Cold-blooded, how cold-blooded!
In squads of three, or even four when they had just become ninjas, the Iwagakure ninjas, who had established bonds since graduating from the ninja academy, could not accept the cold-blooded behavior of the cadres of the Blackbeard Pirates, who completely disregarded the lives of their subordinates and companions.
Therefore...
If they were to lose, and their village were to be ruled by such cold-blooded people, the gaze of the Iwagakure ninjas towards the remaining members of the Blackbeard Pirates immediately became filled with killing intent.
"Zehahaha..."
At this moment, a mad laugh suddenly sounded from the bottom of the pit, entering the ears of the ten thousand Iwagakure ninjas.
In the pirate world, a mad laugh was a symbol of a powerhouse.
A unique mad laugh was the trademark of a super-powerhouse.
Like the Pirate King Roger, Golden Lion Shiki, Whitebeard Newgate, Charlotte Linlin, Kaido, and even Blackbeard Teach... they all had their own unique laughs.
This unique mad laugh, coupled with their powerful Haki, meant that just a mad laugh could make the weak feel fear and the enemy feel pressure.
The ten-thousand-strong army of Iwagakure felt just that.
Just by hearing Blackbeard’s unique mad laugh, Ōnoki in the air, and the Sannin of Iwagakure on the ground, all had serious expressions, their bodies tense as they stared at the tall figure climbing up from the crack in the earth.
At this moment, Blackbeard was even more pathetic than the cadres beside him.
The captain’s hat with the Blackbeard Pirates’ symbol on his head had long been blown away by the airwaves, and his hair, and the four braids of his beard, as well as his clothes, were all covered in dust.
But on his face, there was not the slightest hint of anger for losing face or losing a four-digit number of subordinates.
On the contrary, he was even more cold-blooded than the cadres beside him.
He showed the ten-thousand-strong army of Iwagakure what it meant to have a captain and crew of the same kind.
However...
This behavior of disregarding the lives of his companions made Blackbeard’s threat level, in the eyes of Ōnoki and Kitsuchi, instantly rise to the highest.
Because such a selfish monster, besides himself, had no weaknesses.
"Zehahaha... I really lost quite miserably!"
Blackbeard did not know that his cold-bloodedness had scared everyone in Iwagakure.
After climbing up, he touched his head, looked up at Ōnoki floating in the air, and grinned, "I didn’t expect this world to also have such a terrifying old man."
"If it weren’t for Pops’s ability, I might have been killed just now."
"Boys, can you still fight?"
With his last sentence, Blackbeard looked around at his companions, a familiar ferocious smile on his face.
In response, the cadres, led by Shiliew of the Rain, also showed ferocious smiles and replied, "Of course, Captain!"
"Zehahaha... Then let me give you a return gift!"
Blackbeard opened his hands, and a thick black mist was released.
The evil aura, enhanced by the Dark-Dark Fruit, made the legs of the weak-willed Iwagakure ninjas in the ten-thousand-strong army go soft uncontrollably.
"Don’t panic! Proceed according to Plan C!"
As if noticing that his subordinates had been affected by the other party’s Haki, the jōnin led by Kitsuchi shouted, dispelling the fear in their subordinates’ hearts.
The fear that had arisen involuntarily was dispelled, and the ten-thousand-strong army all came back to their senses, and then their faces all became determined.
"Earth Style: Hiding Like a Mole Technique!"
"Earth Style: Earth Dragon Hiding Technique!"
Hundreds of Iwagakure ninjas formed hand seals with both hands, and then their figures disappeared into the crowd.
At the same time, besides Kitsuchi, Rōshi, and Han, the Sannin of Iwagakure, the other jōnin of Iwagakure, just as they had used the Earth Style: Great Earth Flow Divide just now, dispersed with a body flicker, formed hand seals with both hands, then slapped the ground and shouted softly:
"Earth Style: Earth Flow River!"
...
"Earth Style: Swamp of the Underworld!"
As the chakra containing the nature transformation of Earth Release seeped into the ground.
The captain and cadres of the Blackbeard Pirates, as well as the squad leaders and fodder who had not completely climbed out of the pit, all found that the earth under their feet had suddenly turned into liquid and had quickly formed a huge swamp.
Not only that, but these swamps could flow like a river, instantly submerging the pirates who had not climbed out of the pit.
At the same time, the Iwagakure ninjas who had used the Earth Style: Hiding Like a Mole Technique and the Earth Style: Earth Dragon Hiding Technique to go underground and were able to move underground, had also quietly come to the bottom of the pit, to the side of the pirates who had lost their ability to fight or had been submerged by the swamp. They drew the kunai on their bodies and assassinated them all one by one.
Their Observation Haki clearly sensed that the subordinates under their feet were dying one after another.
But Blackbeard and the cadres like Shiliew of the Rain had no reaction.
Blackbeard, who clearly only needed one punch to shake the Iwagakure ninjas under his feet to death, couldn’t even be bothered to extend a helping hand.
Like Shiliew of the Rain, when the earth under his feet turned into a swamp, he leaped on the spot.
Figures of varying heights leaped dozens of meters into the air.
Blackbeard and Shiliew of the Rain dispersed in tacit agreement and attacked their respective targets.
They were actually going to use their reduced three-digit forces to deal with the five-digit forces of Iwagakure.
