Pirate Lord of Darkness

New World, Seth Island.

Seth Island, a large island, is a prosperous commercial island. Because of its unique warm and comfortable climate all year round, it is a veritable spring island and a famous tourist resort island in the New World.

Tiqi walked boredly on the street alone. Fifteen days have passed since he left Baisha Island. On the way, he passed the four islands of Gemstone Island, Grand Island, Kuku Island, and Huangyan Island. Gemstone Island is rich in Various gems have great benefits, so the island's strength is complex. There are many pirate forces and underground forces. It is very chaotic. There is no fixed ruler. Every night, in order to compete for the share of various benefits, There will be fights, and even the tavern will close its doors late at night to refuse customers.

Nothing happened. Tiqi rested on the island for a while and then left. However, Tiqi did not gain anything. Look at the emerald bracelet on his right wrist. The color of the gemstone is not eye-catching, it is dark green. , very deep. It looks ordinary during the day, but it emits a faint light at night. Tiqi likes it very much. Each emerald is carefully polished into a skull shape, with holes punched on the side. It is made of tough and Elastic ropes are connected in series.

An obsidian necklace hangs around Tikki's neck, and on the thin silver chain hangs a small sword. The whole body is carefully made of obsidian. Tikki bought it in a small shop for 50 beli.

Grand Island is a plant island. There are all kinds of plants growing in it, and they are very dangerous. Some plants can eat people. Plants are the overlords of this island, and poisonous insects and snakes are attached to them. In addition, All the large and small beasts have become extinct on this island. Its original and unique ecosystem grows many rare and precious herbs. It is unknown how many people go missing on the island every year.

Kuku Island is a volcanic island with a large volcano that seems to erupt at any time. Looking down from a high place, red-gold lava flows from the crater.The ground on the island is dark red, with a high temperature close to flames, up to [-] degrees. There are almost no plants on the island, but because of its unique environment, species such as fire scorpions, salamanders, and fire snakes have evolved to adapt to the island. High-temperature tolerant organisms of the environment.

Such an island is not suitable for human survival, but because of its unique geographical location, it is the central hub connecting the five islands. Over the years, towns with thousands of people have developed on the edge of the island, and the ground underfoot has cost a huge amount of money. The ground is covered with wood, ore, plastic and other insulating and high-temperature resistant materials, which is three meters high from the ground.

This island is unoccupied, and once someone attacks Kuku Island or occupies it, it will arouse the anger of the forces on other islands, and then unite to annihilate them in one fell swoop.

Huangyan Island is rich in ores. The situation on the island is different from Gem Island. It is occupied by a big pirate with a bounty of [-] million Baileys. He exports the ores and has obtained a large number of Baileys.

"You handsome guy over there, do you want to come and eat the newly baked desserts?" There is a dessert shop in front, and a beautifully dressed girl is greeting customers at the door of the shop.When I saw Tiqi, my eyes lit up. With a warm smile on my face, I waved to Tiqi.

"Hahahaha, I'm not interested in desserts. If there is cherry pie, I won't be stingy with Bailey." Tiqi laughed and the girl heard, "Yes, I can make cherry pie. Come in first." Do you want a sweet cherry pie or a salty one?" The girl called Tikki in and stared at Tikki with her big eyes.Tiqi looked like a rich man at first glance, and she didn't want to let go of such a big business.

"Let's have two servings first. Let me see how the cherry pie here tastes." Tiqi found a seat by the window and sat down directly. Tiqi took out a tissue and hung it on his clothes, as if waiting. As a gourmet who enjoys delicious food, he takes his favorite cherry pie very seriously. Previously, there was a man on an island who relied on having people behind him to promote the delicious food in his store, attracting many people. In fact, he cut corners, hired employees with mediocre skills, sold things at high prices, and forced them to buy and sell things. People who bought his things had no choice but to suffer the consequences.

When it was Tiqi's turn, he directly angered Tiqi. Everyone's heads in the store were crushed by Tiqi, and the whole store was turned into ruins. The next day, the forces behind the store owner were directly eliminated. , corpses lying in a pool of blood, with extreme fear on their faces.

"Okay, guest, here's your cherry pie." It was very efficient, and Tiqi didn't wait long. Four portions of the steaming cherry pie were brought to Tiqi's face by the girl.

"Try it and see how it tastes!" The girl sat in front of Tiqi, holding her chin with her hands, looking at Tiqi curiously. Somehow, she felt that Tiqi in front of her was very special. Although it was the first time they met, But he is very affectionate and has an approachable quality about him.

She has long brown hair, a blue scarf wrapped around her head, a delicate little face, and her body exudes a youthful and sunny atmosphere.

Tiqi had long been attracted by the aroma emanating from in front of him. He put on a transparent glove on his hand and grabbed a piece of cherry pie on the table. "Well, it's so delicious. This cherry pie is a thief. Hahaha, it's too delicious." I'm happy." Tikki tasted the cherry pie with big mouthfuls. After a while, the cherry pie in his hand disappeared and entered Tikki's stomach.

Looking at Tiqi's happy look, which was a recognition of her craftsmanship, the girl was very happy to hear this, and her big eyes curved into a crescent shape.

"Salty pie crust and sour cherry sauce, it would be better if there is black tea." Although Teach likes to drink, drinking tea is his habit, especially when enjoying cherry pie.

"Here, here!" Upon hearing this, the girl immediately poured a large bowl of black tea for Tiqi.

"Annie, why don't you go greet the guests! You're about to be overwhelmed." A mature and beautiful woman, wearing a floral skirt and a little plain attire, walked out of the kitchen, dragging a plate in her hand, with pieces of guests' food on it. Dessert, seeing the girl, shouted to Annie.

"Okay, Mom!" After hearing this, Annie stood up and responded, "Sorry, the store is still very busy right now. I'll come back when I'm done. It should be easier in the afternoon." After that, , the girl named Annie left to help her mother with her work.

With a smile on his face, Teach picked up another cherry pie and tasted it slowly.

Soon, all the cherry pies in front of the table were finished. "Annie, here are thirty more cherry pies, the same, fifteen sweet and salty ones." Teach smiled and looked at the man who was walking not far away. shouted Anne as she passed.

From what her mother had said before, Tikki already knew her name. When Tikki called her name, Annie was not only stunned, but she quickly reacted, "Thirty copies? Okay, right away!" Annie smiled. Her smile was very contagious and very friendly. She ran to the back. There were many regular customers in the store. Not only did the desserts taste delicious, she also greeted acquaintances very cordially on the way. , which is why this store is so popular.

"Haha, thirty portions is too much. I'll make ten portions first. You can eat it first. I've asked my mother to help me make it together. They'll all be delivered to me in a moment." Annie laughed, holding the stacked ones by herself. The tall cherry pie was placed on the table in front of Teach, "You won't be kept waiting too long!"

"Haha, no need. You can deliver other people's desserts first. I don't have to worry. Of course you have to taste such a delicious cherry pie." Tiqi waved his hand and smiled.

"Okay, thank you." Annie was a little surprised, and was very happy with Teach's understanding.

Tikki slowly ate the cherry pie. After a long time, Annie came with a cherry pie that was taller than before. "These are your cherry pies." She sat in front of Tikki, stretched out and said with He wiped the sweat from his forehead with a tissue, "Ah, I'm finally done with my work. It should be easier next time."

Annie looked at Teach, as if she wanted to say something, but couldn't. Her eyes widened and she couldn't help but cover her mouth, "Ah, I'm sorry, I don't even know your name yet?" She then realized, I still don’t know the name of the man in front of me?Her face turned red, a little shy, and felt embarrassed.

"Hahaha, Annie, are you so vigilant? You come into contact with me, a stranger, so easily. How come you don't know that I'm not a bad person?" Seeing Annie like this, Tiqi couldn't help but laugh and ate Smiling after a mouthful of cherry pie.

"For example, human traffickers specialize in kidnapping little beautiful girls like you." Tiqi suddenly showed an evil and terrifying expression, which scared Annie to the point of shrinking her neck.

"Hmph! You can't scare me!" When she came back to her senses, she saw the smile on Tiqi's face and realized that Tiqi was just trying to scare her again.

"I can feel that you are a good person-" She turned around and thought, no, there was something wrong with what she said. She wanted to say that you are a good person, but how did she know? And looking at Teach's standard pirate coat, she didn't know either. How to say.

After thinking about it for a while, her face turned slightly red, "Anyway, you won't hurt me." Annie's appearance was very cute, and Tiqi couldn't help but smile, because the cherry pie in front of her was stacked very high, blocking her Face, she could only sit aside and stick her head out to talk to Tiqi. Tiqi was very amused to see her like this.

For the sake of speaking to herself, she pushed the plate of cherry pie aside so that Anne could face him.

"Okay, what's your name?" Annie asked, a little curious.

"Marshall D. Teach, although this name is still unknown now, it will become famous sooner or later." Teach smiled, his eyes were full of confidence, no, his whole body was full of confidence, and he looked very confident. momentum.

"Well, Tikki, I will call you Tikki now, I believe you." Annie nodded, her eyes full of curiosity, "Tikki, you should be a pirate."

"Yeah, that's right." Teach took a bite of the cherry pie and nodded.

"Then you formed a pirate group? Do you have a pirate ship?" Annie asked again, "None of them, what? Will you be very disappointed?" Tiqi smiled.

Annie was a little disappointed, but she quickly recovered, "I'm not that disappointed. Although I haven't seen it, I have heard about it. How can it be so easy to form a pirate group? To find reliable companions, you also have to build Build a pirate ship that can sail the sea.”

"Haha, you know quite a lot!" Tiqi smiled, grabbed a piece of cherry pie and ate it.

"Natiqi, you will definitely go to sea!" Annie seemed to have thought of something and was a little excited, "Then you can think of the name of the pirate group first, and you can also think of the name of the pirate ship first."

Annie laughed excitedly and stared at Tikki with her big eyes. Tikki was stared at so hard that his scalp went numb, "Would you like me to help you pick a name? My ability to pick names is pretty good."

"Devils from hell, Satan, how about the Satan Pirates?" "And, Tikki, what are you good at?" Annie said, looking at Tikki very seriously, looking like a counselor.

"What? What he's good at? Swordsmanship, claw skills." Tiqi said with some confusion.

"What about the Demon Sword Pirates? There are also the Blood Claw Pirates and the Demon Claw Pirates." Annie became more and more excited as she talked.

Tiqi couldn't help but frown, "Listen!" He stretched out his hand, interrupting the girl in front of him from his thoughts.

"What's wrong?" Annie was a little confused.

"Do I look like such an evil person? Why are they all filled with demons, blood, and the like? Can't there be something more normal?" Tiqi was speechless.

"Haha! Don't you think this is cool? A pirate should scare others and make people feel very scared when they hear it?" Annie said with a smile.

"Although the names of these pirate groups you mentioned are very cool? However, the name of a pirate group is a very serious matter. I have already decided on this." Tiqi interrupted her and said in a deep voice. , "Besides, if you want to make people feel fear, what you rely on is never a domineering name, but strong strength, a record of punches and kicks, or cruel killings."

Annie was stunned for a moment. She was still like a little girl, but she was very sensible. After listening to Tiqi's words, she understood immediately.It makes perfect sense when you think about it.

"Then what is the name of your pirate group?" Annie asked, knowing that Teach had already decided on the name of the pirate group, she asked curiously.

"The Night Pirates." Teach smiled and his eyes could not help but go back to the time when he became a new self eight years ago. In order to become stronger, he worked hard and started from scratch.How many times at night has he cried silently alone at night. Who can know what this feels like?

As a human being unable to sleep, who can know his pain.It is a painful time for a person to be with loneliness and darkness.The gentle figure with blond hair appeared in his mind. Monica was special to him. It was she who cared for Tikki when he was in the most pain, and then walked out of the shadows, determined to become stronger.

Now he has long been accustomed to loneliness and darkness, and he is darkness.

He is already a brand new Teach, so naturally he will not follow the old path before, nor does he have the idea of ​​staying on Whitebeard's ship for more than 20 years for the Devil Fruit.

That is the ability that suits him best, and he firmly believes that that ability will come to him one day, and by that time, darkness will swallow everything.
