Simultaneous time travel: Why are they all against the protagonist? Chapter 072

“Hey, Captain, aren’t we going to snatch the Azure Dragon Fruit?”

Baskerville Choate, the “Great Wine Barrel,” who disembarked with Blackbeard, had a face as red as a monkey’s butt from excessive drinking.

“Baka! You dare to say such idiotic things after encountering Rayleigh?!”

Blackbeard couldn’t help but slap Baskerville, making his eyes sparkle with stars.

If it were when he first emerged from Impel Down in cooperation with Su Luan, Blackbeard would indeed have had similar thoughts.

Although he and Su Luan had formed a pirate alliance, anyone with a normal brain knew that such an alliance was just a verbal agreement.

Even great nations like the Sand Ninjas and Cloud Ninjas, who signed peace treaties with Konoha in the neighboring world, could turn hostile at a moment’s notice, let alone the fickle pirates.

Facing the immense temptation of the Azure Dragon Fruit, the Blackbeard Pirates, known as “Fruit Hunters,” would naturally be tempted.

However, after Rayleigh thwarted their plan to intercept the Seven Warlords right at the beginning, Blackbeard changed his mind.

He had allied with Su Luan previously because he was swayed by her reasoning: “Besides you, Straw Hat, Red-Haired, and Buggy are all in the same group. Aren’t you afraid?”

Three of the new Four Emperors were old acquaintances. It was hard to say if they would fight each other in the future, but it was entirely possible they would first unite to take him down!

Thinking about this, Blackbeard couldn’t help but feel a chill down his spine.

Rayleigh’s appearance further confirmed Su Luan’s point of view.

Not only Red-Haired and that red-nosed Buggy, but also those old fellows from the Roger Pirates were, strictly speaking, related to that Straw Hat Kid.

If he offended so many people, and then added Su Luan to the list, Blackbeard would truly have offended all the major powers in the sea.

As soon as he thought of the big shots behind Monkey D. Luffy, Blackbeard couldn’t help but show an expression of utter exasperation.

Damn it, with such a powerful background, why become the Pirate King?

He should just become the Background King!

Sabaody Archipelago, Grove 1, Auction House.

The attending staff member was recording the names of every entrant with a pen.

Suddenly, he heard a burst of exclamations and gasps from the front.

Looking up, several faces too ugly to bear looking at came into view.

The staff member’s face suddenly changed.

There were countless strong individuals in the Grand Line, but none could be as hideous as the Blackbeard Pirates.

“The Blackbeard Pirates are here too!?”

The staff member took several deep breaths to calm himself down slightly.

Another staff member wearing a hat, standing nearby, whispered, “The Blackbeard Pirates are ‘Fruit Hunters,’ so it’s not surprising they’re interested in the Azure Dragon Fruit.”

The hat-wearing staff member slightly lifted his gaze and glanced at the Blackbeard Pirates walking towards them, revealing a bit of his own face.

Revolutionary Army’s Chief of Staff, Sabo!

After leading the Revolutionary Army’s commanders in a fierce battle against Fujitora and Green Bull, and escaping from Imu and the Five Elders in front of the Empty Throne in Mary Geoise.

Sabo was originally preparing to go with several commanders to the successfully revolutionized Lulusia Kingdom, and then transfer ships back to the Revolutionary Army headquarters.

However, as he was about to depart, Sabo coincidentally heard about the Azure Dragon Fruit. He let his companions go first and went undercover himself to see if he could seize the opportunity, just like he intercepted the Mera Mera no Mi in Dressrosa, and take the Azure Dragon Fruit as well.

After all, such a powerful fruit, whether it fell into the hands of pirates or the World Government, would become a major obstacle on their path to revolution.

Sabo pulled down his hat and quickly left to avoid being recognized by the Blackbeard Pirates.

After reporting their presence, the Blackbeard Pirates also entered the venue.

However, due to limited seating inside, only cadre-level members of major pirate crews were allowed to enter, while the grunts remained outside on standby.

Even the Four Emperors’ crews were no exception.

Ever since the Marines moved their headquarters from Paradise to the New World, the Celestial Dragons rarely came here anymore, and the entire Sabaody Archipelago had become a lawless zone.

After Du Feld took over, he transformed this auction house into a magnificent and opulent place, far more splendid than when the Straw Hat Pirates visited two years ago.

“Zehahaha! I see many familiar faces!”

Blackbeard’s characteristic laughter, upon entering, attracted many people’s attention.

“Welcome, Mr. Blackbeard, please take a seat.”

Du Feld, as the behind-the-scenes boss, personally welcomed him. This was the influence of a Four Emperor.

On the second floor of the venue, there were several private boxes with oversized seats, clearly designed for big figures like Blackbeard, whose physiques were far from ordinary.

“Oh my! I’ve encountered an unexpected individual!”

Upon reaching the second floor, Blackbeard immediately noticed some unexpected figures—the Red-Haired Pirates’ second-in-command, Benn Beckman!

Beside him were the equally cadre-level sniper, Yasopp, and the combatant, Limejuice!

“How unexpected, aren’t the Red-Haired Pirates uninterested in Devil Fruits?”

Blackbeard winked and grinned.

Blackbeard wasn’t surprised that other Emperor-level pirate crews would come, but he was genuinely surprised that members of the Red-Haired Pirates were here.

After all, it was well-known across the sea that the Red-Haired Pirates, especially their cadres, preferred to fight using Haki.

“None of your business.”

Although only a vice-captain, Benn Beckman, who was publicly recognized as being on par with Shanks in strength, did not fear Blackbeard.

“Zehahaha, how unfriendly~”

Blackbeard didn’t mind, chuckled twice, and sat down in the adjacent private box.

Afterward, various forces appeared one after another.

Among them were also figures who were famous in this sea.

But none of them caught the eye of the Emperor-level pirate crews.

Until…

“That guy is!?”

The main entrance of the venue opened again. When they saw the person entering, surrounded by a group of government agents in black suits.

Even Blackbeard and Benn Beckman’s expressions changed drastically.

One of the Five Elders, the highest authority in the world, “Warrior God of Science and Defense” Jaygarcia Saturn!

Behind him, on either side, were several large men draped in black cloaks, estimated to be three to five meters tall.

Although their appearances were obscured by the cloaks, Blackbeard, who had just fought the Marines in Amazon Lily a few days ago, recognized them at a glance: they were the new Pacifista models, Seraphim, based on the Seven Warlords!

Du Feld quickly went to greet Saturn, respectfully escorting him to the VIP box on the second floor.

Upon seeing Blackbeard and Benn Beckman already seated, Saturn narrowed his eyes and paused his steps slightly.

But in the end, he said nothing and chose a seat far from the two of them.

“Zehahaha~ The Five Elders actually came in person, how unexpected.”

Blackbeard laughed, revealing his toothless grin.

“Facing this increasingly uncontrollable era, even the highest authority can no longer sit still, can they?”

Benn Beckman thought to himself.

Thud~

Before Du Feld, who was attending to Saturn, could go downstairs, the main entrance of the venue opened again.

Former Beast Pirates’ second-in-command, King!

Former Big Mom Pirates’ second-in-command, Charlotte Katakuri!

These two former First Commanders pushed open the doors, one on the left and one on the right, then neatly stepped aside to make way.

To welcome their new captain.

“He’s finally here…”

Benn Beckman whispered.

The main reason their Red-Haired Pirates came was not for the Azure Dragon Fruit, but to see “Little Kaido,” who had been stirring up the New World recently.

No, now he was a genuine, bona fide captain of a new Emperor-level pirate crew.

Su Luan also noticed Benn Beckman and his group on the second floor, but his gaze was mainly on Yasopp.

Su Luan really wanted to share parenting tips with the other him from the Fairy Tail world.

How did you manage to have your son worship you as an idol despite abandoning your wife and child?

Kozuki Oden also seemed to be of a similar type.

To a group of normal people in his previous life, he was an absolute, pure idiot.

However, not only his relatives and subordinates, but the entire Wano Country worshipped him like a god.

Su Luan expressed his inability to understand.
