Chapter 499 New hatred and old hatred
A figure struck like a thunder, and Blackbeard Tiqi raised the corners of his mouth sarcastically, and faced it heavily with a fist covered in the power of the Dark Fruit.
The two figures separated as soon as they touched, and then a mute and angry voice exploded in the air.
"Even if we have to have a showdown, it's me and you! Tikki!"
Ace, who was shirtless, fell to the ground and looked at him solemnly.
"Hahahahahahaha~"
"Ace!"
"You are not worthy to be my opponent!"
Tikki looked at him with a grim smile.
"I will let you know right away whether I am worthy or not!"
The sunny smile that often filled Ace's face had completely faded.
At this moment, murderous aura overflowed from his eyes, and the aura around him was like the evil spirit coming to the world.
"Thief hahahahaha~"
"Even if the Zhenzhen Fruit falls into your hands, it won't change anything!"
"Ace, if this is your trump card, then your two-plus years of living quietly are really meaningless!"
The pitch-black substance spread from Blackbeard's feet, and the ground was eroded by darkness, as if it was completely integrated with Teach.

【Atmosphere Segmentation】
The power of darkness swallows everything, and the aftermath of the shock tears apart the space.
The two figures intertwined, and the intense energy fluctuations tore open a huge crack in the ground below.
Others' fighting has ceased.
When Blackbeard said that he wanted to show off, it meant that he was going to challenge the Straw Hat Kid as the captain.
The rule of duels between pirates is to transfer the conflict to the two people fighting.
Regardless of the outcome, the victorious party is not allowed to take action against anyone else.
This is the way he can think of to preserve the foundation of the Blackbeard Pirates to the greatest extent.
However, before Luffy could accept the duel, he was interrupted by Ace's sudden attack.
Seeing the two people already fighting together, Luffy also controlled his flying boots and slowly landed on Annie's broom.
Although he also owns a flying machine, he will always have a soft spot for Annie's 'mount'.
"Do you really want to accept his duel?"
Annie asked softly without looking back.
"Well! This is a duel between captains. He has already issued a challenge. How could I not accept it?"
Luffy shook his head.
"However, this is also the battle that Ace has always wanted. Let them finish it first and then talk about it!"
Luffy's tone was nonchalant.
He held the broomstick's tail with one hand while observing the fight between the two on the ground.
"Ace is no match for him."
Annie's eyes were dancing with blue flames, and she stared at the black beard in the form of an orc without blinking.
Luffy also noticed something strange about Blackbeard's body.
"Ah."
He responded in a low voice.
Probably considering Ace's mood after his defeat, he didn't know what to think for a moment.
"Blackbeard has eaten the third Devil Fruit."
Annie's words were soft, but Luffy heard them clearly.
"Is it a tricky fruit?"
"It's tricky."
Annie was silent for two seconds.
Blackbeard's memory is confusing and huge, and it is impossible to sort out the sequence of memories.
The last time I encountered this situation was when I read Im's mind in a dream.
But Im has lived for too many years, and hundreds of memories of nearly a thousand years have been stacked together, making it impossible to sort them out.
As for Blackbeard, it's because his soul is too abnormal.
Three completely different souls were entangled together, and the memories in his mind were like a mess, intricate.
She could get very little effective information, and even only knew the name of the third fruit.
"Luffy..."
Annie turned to look at him, with undisguised worry in her eyes.
Luffy, who was always very nervous, was actually very quiet at the moment. He understood Annie's worries.
"I know he's strong."
He looked at Annie's slightly frowned brows, followed Zoro's usual look, and stretched out his hand to stroke her brows.
"But Annie, I won't lose."
"You can't lose either."
The expression on his face was one of determination that Anne had never seen before.
Annie sighed inwardly.
Luffy always knows what he wants.
You can always see the path you want to take.
Nowadays, there are only a few people in this ocean who are qualified to compete for 'ONEPIECE'.
Red hair, black beard, Luffy, and the nominal boss of the Cross Union, Senryang Daohua Bucky.
Anne of the Cross Union has never taken it seriously. Although most of them are followers of Bucky, they can't make any trouble as long as they have Crocodile and Hawkeye in their hands.
Moreover, Bucky still doesn’t know that all the capital flows and information channels of the Cross Union are controlled by Xia Qi.
There is also the fact that several Dark World Emperors under Morgans have completely penetrated the black market. Even Crocodile, the actual leader of the Cross Union, does not know.
He has ambitions and means. Although Anne uses him, she is always on guard against him.
He used his tiger skin to raise this banner, and now he can use his and Hawkeye's limelight to hide his forces in the dark.
This was also the reason why Anne didn't react at all when Xia Qi sent news not long ago that Bucky had encouraged his people to get involved in the murky waters of fighting for the throne of the Pirate King.
The Cross Union has long been regarded as a piece of cake by Anne.
Therefore, Luffy's real enemies are only Blackbeard and Red Hair.
Compared with the red-haired pirates who have a close relationship with each other, they naturally have to deal with the unstable factor of Blackbeard first.
At least, when the Straw Hat Pirates and the Blackbeard Pirates are fighting, the red hair will not take the opportunity to make a sneak attack, let alone reap the benefits.
When Luffy is not qualified to stand in front of the red hair, the first thing he has to do is to unseat Blackbeard, one of his competitors!
"black beard..."
"You know the three scars on the red-haired face, right?"
"Ok!"
"What's wrong?"
Luffy grabbed the broom and swung his legs in the air.
"That's what Blackbeard Teach left behind."
"At that time, he hadn't even eaten the Devil Fruit yet."
Annie's voice was a little erratic.
"Blackbeard is a man of tenacity and ambition."
"He is both cruel and greedy, but also flexible and adaptable."
“You can be humble and humble in times of adversity, but you can be arrogant and arrogant in times of good times.”
"Luffy, you must be careful when you face him."
Annie reached out and rubbed his soft short hair.
"After defeating Blackbeard, the only obstacle in front of you is Shanks."
"The throne of the Pirate King is at the end of this road."
Luffy listened carefully to Annie's words.
If someone were to read this to him before the war, he would naturally not be able to listen to a word.
His usual code of conduct, just beat him away and that's it!
But facing Anne, he could always calm down and remember every word she said in his mind.
Maybe it's because in his nearly 20 years of life, no woman has ever been so gentle and tolerant to him!
That was a completely different feeling from the tolerance his partners had for him.
Her expressions of emotion are direct and sincere.
Not as obscure and silent as Grandpa, not as outspoken as Dadan.
Not as awkward and timid as my father.
This is why Luffy calmly accepted Annie calling him Zaizai or son.
Anne seemed to really love him as her own son.
Sometimes, he could even really feel the missing maternal love in Anne.
