After experiencing the obstruction of the locusts and the giant octopus, the Queen Anna's Revenge set off again.
Due to the complicated terrain around Devil's Maw Island, the pirate ship could only circle around at a slower speed.
About thirty minutes later, they came to a beach made of rocks, which looked like a suitable landing spot.
Just like last time, Blackbeard sent Garlic Bro and his two brothers to lead a team of about ten people to explore the shore.
This time, they didn't even need a small boat. They directly jumped into the water from the deck of the ship, waded through the water to the rocks, and then set foot on the island.
Things went smoothly. Not long after, the dozen people had already checked the beach and the woods near the beach. They didn't find any danger, so they signaled the people on the ship.
After Blackbeard received the signal, he decisively gave the order to personally lead four officers, ten crew members, and his three "allies" to the island.
In addition, he did something that no one thought of. He actually ordered the "Mad Eye" in the cell to be brought along.
…
"Don't worry, the shackles on his hands are specially made. Wearing that thing, he's worse than an ordinary drunkard." While walking on the rocky beach, Blackbeard saw that Hong Hu had been guarding against Mad Eye, so he reminded him.
"Well … I see." Hong Hu nodded in response.
"It feels like Seastone," Feng Bujue said.
"That's not right …" Snow continued, "There are two main characteristics of Seastone. One is that it can make the Devil Fruit ability user weak and unable to actively use their ability. The second is that it is abnormally hard. These two characteristics … are meaningless to Mad Eye. First of all, he is not an ability user. Second, from the fact that he tore your equipment with his bare hands … it won't be too difficult for him to break the shackles of Seastone with brute force. In summary … "
"Hey, hey, are you done yet?" Feng Bujue interrupted the man before he could finish. "I said 'it looks like Seastone', but I did not say 'it is Seastone'. Can you please clarify the question before you come up with an argument? Also … how many times are you going to mention that my equipment was torn? Do I need you to tell me? Do you think I would forget something like that in such a short time? "
Snow was rendered speechless by Brother Jue's words. Hong Hu shook his head and sighed. He whispered, "He's a professor of sarcasm …"
While they were bickering, a group of people had arrived on the island one after another.
Including the dozen or so pirates who were already waiting here, the total number of people who had landed this time was exactly 30.
"Mr. Feng." When everyone reached the edge of the forest, Blackbeard spoke again. "Can I trouble you …" He looked at Brother Jue and pointed to the sky. "… to go up and observe the terrain."
"Alright, I was just about to go up and take a look." Feng Bujue readily agreed to Blackbeard's request and immediately took two steps back, distancing himself from his two teammates.
Hong Hu and Snow also knew what he was going to do …
In the next second, Brother Jue bent his legs and bent his body down. After accumulating strength for two seconds, he suddenly exerted his strength and his whole body shot up like a spring.
In the blink of an eye, Feng Bujue had leaped to a height of nearly 100 meters above the sea level.
When the momentum of his body's ascent had completely subsided, Brother Jue activated the special effect of [Void Tread] and stood still in the air.
He looked around and realized that although the island in front of him was not small, he could still see the end of it. In addition … in the distant sea, he could see several black shadows that were about the same size as the island.
In order to see further, Feng Bujue used [Geppo] in mid-air again and continued to climb. This time, he jumped to a height of nearly 400 meters.
When he reached this point and combined with the data view, he could finally confirm that the originally huge, unified Devil Chomp Island had now been divided into five parts, which were roughly in the shape of a cross.
The part that Brother Jue and the others were on was the northernmost part of the "cross", which was the "North Island."
Observing from the sky, the east, west, south, and north islands all had dense forests and undulating hills. The size of each island was about the same. Only the middle island in the middle of the 'cross' was the smallest in size. Furthermore, it was completely made of 'crystals.' That region was undoubtedly the 'Crystal Maze' from back then.
In less than two minutes, Feng Bujue slowly descended from the sky. Relying on the special effect of his Legendary-grade shoes, Brother Jue only needed to ensure that the soles of his feet touched the ground first. No matter how high he fell, he would not be injured.
Then, Feng Bujue briefly explained what he saw to Blackbeard. After that, he asked, "Let me confirm something first. This time, your priority is to look for your subordinates or the treasure?"
"It's the same," Blackbeard answered almost without hesitation.
Hong Hu reacted quickly. "Your subordinates and the treasure are in the same place?"
"Yes," Blackbeard replied. "Every treasure that I leave in the main universe will be guarded by one of my subordinates. According to the value of the treasure, the strength of the person guarding it will be different."
"Oh?" When Feng Bujue heard this, he thought of something. "Then let me ask you something. The batch on Queen Anna's Revenge … Is it the most valuable treasure that you left behind?"
"Hmph …" Blackbeard was not stupid. He instantly understood that Zhang Heng was testing him. "If you want to know if Bunny Hair Bro is my strongest subordinate, then I can tell you very clearly … No." He paused. "Because … In fact, he is not my 'subordinate.'"
"Then he is?" Feng Bujue asked again.
Blackbeard replied slowly, "Many years ago, I saved Bunny Hair Bro's life. He felt that he owed me a favor and always wanted to pay it back. So he boarded my ship and made a living as a pirate for a while. Later, I had a premonition that 'changes' were coming. I had to leave the main universe for a while, so I entrusted my ship and the treasures on it to him. At that time, I estimated that it would take me at most three hundred years to return. Before I came back, he helped me guard Queen Anna's Revenge. After that, he and I didn't owe each other anything. "
"Oh … No wonder I didn't see him on the ship," Feng Bujue said. "But, it seems that you still haven't answered my question."
Blackbeard curled his lips and said, "What I can tell you is that the treasures I hid all over the main universe, no matter in terms of quantity or quality, are all better than the ones I hid on the pirate ship."
"Because the ship can only fit a limited amount?" At this time, Snow said half-jokingly.
Unexpectedly, Blackbeard really answered, "Yes, because the ship can't fit all of them." He spread out his hands and said, "There are also some 'special things' that are not suitable to be left on the ship."
"Alright …" Snow also shrugged and replied noncommittally.
"Of course." A second later, Blackbeard changed the topic again. "My Queen Anna's Revenge itself can also be regarded as a treasure. Its value is one of the best among all the treasures I have."
"Okay, okay." Feng Bujue saw that Blackbeard's answer was watertight, so he gave up further probing and asking. "I'd better change my question …" He paused for half a second and said, "Compared to the subordinate who guarded the treasures on Devil Chomp Island for you, Bunny Hair Bro, which one is stronger?"
"It has to be Bunny Hair Bro." Blackbeard replied in a matter-of-fact tone, "Short Hair Ultimate Fist Master has the combat power of a demigod. None of the few cadres I have with me now is a match for Bunny Hair Bro."
What he said had obviously reached the ears of the four cadres, but the four of them acted as if nothing had happened. It seemed that … they were all clear about this and had nothing to disagree with.
"Then …" Feng Bujue continued the previous question and asked, "Compared to Dancing Shadow?"
"Huh?" Blackbeard sniffed out something from this question. "What do you mean?"
"What I mean is, is it possible …" Brother Jue continued, "that it was your subordinate who pocketed the treasure and killed the Dancing Shadow who came to search for it?"
As soon as he said that, all the pirates on the beach turned their heads and looked at Brother Jue.
Their eyes looked very strange, and Hong Hu and Snow also noticed that something was wrong.
"Haha …" After a period of maddening silence, Blackbeard grinned, revealing his rotten teeth, and gave a very rare, kind smile. "Let's put it this way … The one who is responsible for guarding this treasure … is my son."
