Faced with Whitebeard's pursuit, Blackbeard successfully escaped from the New World and began to recruit troops to form his own pirate group.

As a careerist, he lurked in the Whitebeard Pirates for decades, gambling his youth on this ship, and it was not until the appearance of the Dark Fruit that he revealed his ambitions.

In order to achieve his goals, a team of his own is essential, so when he is on the run, he is looking for subordinates worth recruiting.

Lafit, Van Okka, Gizzas Baggers, and Poison Q were the initial team he recruited along the way.

At this time, although his ambition was obvious, his goal was not the Seven Martial Seas.

Now that the Straw Hat had just arrived at Whiskey Mountain, the Seven Martial Seas were fully staffed, and he had no chance to replenish them at all.

Without special circumstances, the world government will not easily change the candidates of the Seven Martial Seas, otherwise it will be a slap in the face, and it is not easy to win the seat of the Seven Martial Seas by defeating another Seven Martial Seas.

So Blackbeard hasn't risen to the idea of capturing a qualified bounty and handing it over to the World Government in exchange for the position of the Seven Martial Seas, he is really recruiting Drake.

As a careerist, he needs a lot of people to achieve his goals, and high-quality cadres are what he desperately needs, which he is even similar to Locks.

It doesn't matter what kind of purpose his subordinates have, as long as they are willing to join him, he dares to ask for it, although such a pirate group has no cohesion, but it can gather a large amount of combat power in a short period of time.

As for the Whitebeard's Shock Fruit... He can endure for decades in order to obtain the Dark Fruit, and he doesn't care about waiting a few more years to find a more suitable opportunity, at this time he has no intention of confronting Whitebeard head-on, otherwise he would not choose to escape from the new world.

Drake was recruited on a whim, and he didn't expect to meet the cadres of the New World Sea Pirates here.

The famous cadres under the command of the Four Emperors are all strong, and naturally belong to the target range of Blackbeard's recruitment, although the total appearance of the Blackbeard Pirates is extremely low, but Blackbeard's own aesthetics are still normal.

Whether it is Drake or Kikunojo, it is above the aesthetic line for him.

The scar on Drake's face doesn't spoil its own beauty, and Kikunojo... If he doesn't say it himself, no one can think that this is a man, and even if he sees it, he may not be able to accept this fact.

"Recruit me? You are so bold that it is no wonder that you dare to kill your companions on Whitebeard's ship, and it seems that you don't feel terrible about this flag either."

Drake didn't mean to threaten the other party with the banner of the beast, since this guy dared to kill another captain of Whitebeard on Whitebeard's main ship, it showed that this guy didn't have the awe of ordinary pirates for the emperor of the sea at all.

It's just that the successive provocations of different sea emperors reminded Drake of that warrior a few years ago, although his name has not been remembered, but the feat has been passed down to this day.

"The times are advancing, this is a new era, this sea needs new blood, those old guys should have come to an end!"

"It sounds like you're looking for death, my mother is not interested in it at all, and you're so ugly that I refuse to work with a guy like you."

If someone had spoken to her like that before she joined the Beasts, it would have piqued Drake's interest, and if the captain was a little more handsome, she wouldn't mind fighting with them.

She doesn't mind joining someone else, and she doesn't mind whether the new captain is a good guy or ***, as long as she is seen and there is something worth following, she will make her own choice.

The end of prosperity will be loneliness after all, but Drake can get the pleasure of enjoying this loneliness.

Forge ahead, overcome, plunder, and prosper.

Loving money but not taking it, squandering the money in her hands, this is her way of life, and it is also the reason why she is eternally moonlight.

Powerful enemies are terrible, but it is also a pleasure to defeat them, and failure may lead to death, but that kind of death is also a perfect ending.

Of course, in addition to the wrong time, appearance is also a big problem.

She is a face control, and Blackbeard's face blocks the possibility of the two being related

。

"Hahaha, Captain, she says you're ugly."

"If you think about it, it doesn't seem like there's anything wrong with that?"

Instead of refuting Drake on Blackbeard's behalf, Baggers and Lafitte seem to agree with this, which causes Blackbeard to rebuke them loudly:

"Enough of you guys! Have you forgotten who your captain is?!"

After shutting up his men, he looked at Drake again.

"It's a pity, I don't like this character, it seems that we don't have any fate."

"Not necessarily, I remember that Whitebeard's reward for you was quite high, and it just so happened that I owe a lot of money recently, so it's a good choice to exchange you for money."

"You woman is really irritable, I obviously came to recruit you with sincerity and kindness, and you actually want my life?"

"Do you mean pointing a gun at someone's head in the dark?"

As he spoke, a ball of thunder and lightning appeared in Drake's hand, and then it was thrown at the nearby house, and at the same time, a gunshot rang out from a distance.

The moment she spotted Blackbeard, she used her abilities to see everything around her clearly, including Van Oka lurking in the distance.

She didn't despise this guy who dared to do anything on Whitebeard's boat, and never felt that the other party was just out to chat.

Rumble!

A house was blown up under Drake's attack, and a figure sprang out of it, and after rolling in embarrassment for a few moments, he raised his gun and aimed at Drake again.

"You played quite accurately, but I felt your sincerity."

Despite the dodge, the hairband on the back of Drake's head was still cut by a bullet, his long pink hair was scattered behind him, and his lion-like appearance had already taken on his original face.

"Thief hahaha, it's really a keen reaction, since you refuse to solicit, then I have to accept something else, and I will accept the ability of the phantom beast species!"

From the moment he found Drake, he didn't want the other party to leave, either to let her join him or to plunder the other party's abilities, so he let Van Oka hide in the distance.

He has always done things unscrupulously, and it is not unusual to prepare with both hands, but Van Oka in the distance was directly discovered by Drake, which was something he did not expect.

He also attributed all this to Drake's own ability, and at the same time became more interested in the other party's ability.
