One Piece: Start as a mythical beast, practice to become stronger

At the same time, in the first half of the Grand Line.

An extremely luxurious pirate ship is anchored on the sea.

The hull is luxuriously decorated and the intricately crafted details show the owner's attention to this boat.

The flag flying on the mast is particularly eye-catching. The symbol composed of three skulls flutters in the wind, proclaiming the domineering ambition of its owner, Blackbeard Teach.

Right on the beach next to the ship, the firelight illuminated a group of pirates who were partying.

They sat around the bonfire, enjoying the barbecue in their hands, the air was filled with the aroma of wine and meat. The jumping of the bonfire reflected the excitement and enthusiasm on their faces.

"Thief hahahaha..."

A burst of wild laughter broke the silence of the night.

Teach now has his beard braided into three braids, and wears a captain's hat with the Blackbeard Pirates' logo on his head. At this moment, he is holding up a wine glass with a proud look on his face.

His signature laugh made the pirates around him laugh as well, raising their glasses to drink with him and celebrating his success.

"Cheers to successfully becoming one of the Shichibukai!" Teach shouted loudly, his voice filled with his longing and ambition for the future journey.

Many pirates responded, raised their glasses, and drank the wine together with Blackbeard.

In the darkness of the night, the sound of cups clinking and their hearty laughter intertwined, as if foreshadowing that a storm was about to hit this sea area.

"Gulp...Gulp..." Teach drank the whole glass of wine in one gulp, and then turned his gaze to the tied-up figure in the open space not far away.

His smile turned cold in an instant, and his voice became icy: "Since you are unwilling to do that for me, I will let you use your last remaining energy, Orombos."

Orlumbus, the powerful man who was once famous on the sea, was now tied up in ropes and unable to move.

He raised his head and looked at Tiqi with disdain, his eyes flashing with tenacity, and he coldly retorted: "Boy, when I started killing people to become famous, you didn't even know where you were. Don't talk so high-soundingly. From the moment you caught me, you never thought of letting me survive."

What Blackbeard asked him to do was a life-threatening thing, and he couldn't see what the other party was thinking. This was what he was most worried about.

When Blackbeard heard this, instead of getting angry about being exposed, he laughed even more wildly: "Thief, hahahaha! There's nothing I can do. It's because you are weak and disobedient. Do one thing for me in exchange for wealth for the rest of your life. What a good deal."

"Since you are unwilling to work for me, then use your life in exchange for the success of my next plan. It will just serve as my ticket to go there."

When Orombos heard this, the sneer on his face gradually faded, replaced by a look of loneliness and helplessness.

He knew that under Teach's control, he no longer had any choice.

Even though he was considered a famous person on this sea, he was now just a pawn at the mercy of others.

"Teach, don't you think you've gone too far?" Orombos said in a deep voice, "Your ambition will lead you to destruction."

Blackbeard smiled indifferently, his tone full of contempt.

"Hahaha, you've gone too far? Ambition? Orombus, you still don't understand. This world has always been controlled by ambitious people. I won't stop. My goal is to stand at the top of this world. Anyone who stands in my way will be swept away without mercy."

He walked slowly towards Orlumbus, his eyes as sharp as a knife, with a suffocating sense of oppression, "You, and those who are unwilling to surrender like you, are just stepping stones on my way forward. Your existence will not have any meaning, except to pave the way for me."

Orlumbus stared at Blackbeard, feeling a sense of powerlessness in his heart, but more of contempt and anger towards this man, "Teach, you may be able to use me, but in the end, you will be consumed by your own ambition."

Blackbeard stopped, widened his eyes, and then burst into laughter, "Hahahaha! You are really funny, Orombus. Well, I will show you who will be devoured."

After he finished speaking, he turned and walked towards the campfire, his back to Orombos, his tone relaxed. "Do what you should do. This is your only way out."

"Do I have a choice?" Orlumbus murmured in a low self-deprecating voice, his eyes falling on the end of the sea in front of him, as if recalling his past glory and pride.

Tiqi's laughter echoed in the air again, and his eyes flashed with a cold light: "Do well in what I choose for you, that is the best choice I give you."

With that, he turned and left the campfire, leaving Orombos in the silent shadow.

As the night deepened, the sea breeze still blew the skull flag, as if foreshadowing the coming darkness and bloodshed.

And in this darkness, Blackbeard's cunning ambition is being realized step by step, and Orlumbus's fate seems to be doomed.

Under the silent night sky, the stars are dotted against the endless darkness, as if countless flickering lights are struggling in the distant universe, trying to break through the boundless black curtain.

Blackbeard stood on the deck of the ship, gazing up at the starry sky.

His figure appeared lonely and unfathomable in the moonlight, as if it had merged into the boundless darkness.

He slowly opened his arms, as if he wanted to embrace the vast starry sky.

The night breeze blew his robe and his beard fluttered in the wind.

There was no trace of warmth on his face, only the coldness and determination filled with ambition.

Suddenly, a deep and wild laugh burst out from his mouth, breaking the silence of the night.

The laughter echoed on the boat, on the sea, and even seemed to penetrate the starry sky and reach the sky.

The stars reflected a cold light in his eyes, but that light quickly disappeared in his deep pupils, as if swallowed by endless darkness.

Blackbeard narrowed his eyes slightly and a sneer appeared at the corner of his mouth.

In his eyes, these starlights were like various forces on the sea. They seemed to be shining, but would eventually be swallowed up by the darkness.

And he, Teach, will become the master of the darkness, defeat all enemies, stand at the top of the world, and overlook all living beings.

"People's dreams will never end..."

He whispered, his voice coming from the abyss, with unshakable determination and ambition.

Then his laughter rang out again, becoming even more wild and unbridled.

"Hahahaha!!!"

That laughter was like a violent storm, sweeping across the entire night sky, declaring his unparalleled ambition and belief.

He knew that no matter how many obstacles lay ahead, he would overcome them one by one.

Because he believes that only by standing at the highest point can one truly overlook the world.

The night sky is still deep and the stars are still twinkling, but in Blackbeard's heart, that starry sky is destined to be eclipsed under his feet.

The world, this vast ocean, will eventually belong to him, to the dark king who conquers everything.

And his eyes reflected the magnificent Judicial Island in the distance.
