One Piece: My Crew is from Other World

Chapter 197: Blackbeard Was Defeated, What to Do Next!

---

Before Blackbeard could even process what was happening, Sabo and the Revolutionary Army charged.

The clash was instant.

The commanders of the Revolutionary Army engaged Blackbeard's crew, while Sabo himself took on Teach directly.

Though not a Devil Fruit user, Sabo fought with brutal precision and fluid technique. He didn't rely on gimmicks—his body was a weapon forged through willpower and training.

But even so…

"Damn," Sabo muttered, backing off as he wiped blood from his cheek. "This guy's no joke."

Blackbeard was powerful—frighteningly so.

Even while stunned, he was an overwhelming force.

Sabo knew he couldn't beat him head-on. So instead, he switched tactics.

Guerrilla warfare. Strike, retreat, stall.

His mission wasn't to win—it was to keep Teach from escaping.

---

"TEACH!!"

A familiar voice roared from the skies.

A streak of blue flames dropped from above.

Marco.

He struck hard, slamming straight into Blackbeard with talons of blazing phoenix fire.

But Blackbeard had been expecting him.

No more hesitation.

He finally understood—this was no time to think about Ryuunosuke or anyone else.

If he didn't escape now, he was going to die here.

"Buzz!"

Blackbeard activated his Armament Haki, coating his body in a deep, obsidian layer.

It exploded outward in a pressure wave—so dense it rattled the bay.

Marco staggered back.

"Damn… that's advanced Haki," Marco growled.

This wasn't ordinary Armament. It had penetration. It was Ryu, the secret technique from Wano.

Blackbeard had been hiding this.

Evening fell.

Baldigo lay in ruins.

Ash scattered on the wind, buildings charred and crumbling.

Sabo stood at the edge of the cliff, looking out over the wreckage with a frustrated sigh.

"He still escaped…"

They had laid every trap, deployed every defense, prepared for every contingency.

And yet…

Blackbeard had slipped away once again.

Using the dark cavity of his Yami Yami no Mi, he released the debris and chaos from the previous battle—blinding Whitebeard's vision just long enough to vanish.

He'd taken a few of his core crewmates and fled into the shadows.

Just like last time.

---

"Alright. Begin Phase Two," Dragon said calmly, stepping up beside Sabo.

"It's time to relocate. We've already prepared for this."

Despite the destruction, Dragon's expression was relaxed.

Almost… satisfied.

"I used to hesitate," he admitted, watching the smoke rise. "All the effort we poured into Baldigo… it felt like a waste."

"But now I understand. Without destruction, there is no rebirth."

He chuckled.

"Maybe I'm finally starting to understand what Ryuunosuke meant."

Sabo nodded, still catching his breath.

"By the way, Commander… what about the Whitebeard Pirates?"

"They just left?" he asked, puzzled.

"They came in full force and still let Blackbeard escape?"

"I already thanked them," Dragon said. "And I promised to send them any future intel on Blackbeard."

"They're different than I imagined."

He smiled faintly.

Years ago, Dragon had been a rising star in the Navy—one of their finest.

The son of Garp. The pride of the Marines.

He'd crossed paths with the Whitebeard Pirates before, under orders.

Back then, his father had taken the lead.

This time, it had been his decision.

And what he found was… understanding.

Respect.

The sea had changed.

---

"Commander!"

Sabo's eyes lit up as he remembered something.

"He's here."

Dragon raised a brow. "He?"

A man stepped forward from the Revolutionary Army's docking area.

"I am Heracles—official crew member of the Dragon Hunter Pirates," the man said politely.

"I've been sent to oversee and support the Revolutionary Army's food systems."

"I'd like to know who's in charge of agriculture and supply logistics."

It was exactly as Ryuunosuke had promised.

A silent but powerful form of support.

Dragon didn't hesitate.

"Sabo, take Mr. Heracles to the ships."

"Give him whatever he needs. Full cooperation."

"Yes, Commander," Sabo nodded.

As the two walked toward the transport ships, Sabo glanced over.

"This area's compromised. We can't grow anything here now."

"But once we settle into the new base, I'll arrange everything. Tell me what you need."

In the distance, Usopp could be seen tumbling into the foliage of the Boin Archipelago, cursed by his bad luck again.

Heracles would survive.

Probably.

Maybe.

---

Elsewhere, on the Extremely Evil Warship, Ryuunosuke sat calmly in front of a Den Den Mushi.

The snail squirmed slightly as Sabo's voice came through.

"...That's the situation, brother."

"We couldn't stop him. But our new base is ready."

"We're also ready to proceed with the next operation—the integration effort you mentioned."

"We're making a move on the Kingdom of Goa."

Ryuunosuke raised a brow.

"East Blue? Goa?"

"That's a bold choice," he murmured.

After all, Sabo was a former noble of that very kingdom.

Had he stayed, he might've inherited power.

But now, that kingdom had become a permanent hub for the Celestial Dragons in the East Blue.

"And after the Sabaody incident, they're spreading their influence," Sabo added bitterly.

"Goa is just one of their targets."

Ryuunosuke leaned back.

He knew how rotten that kingdom was beneath its polished surface.

But still—

"Be cautious," he said firmly.

"Attacking an allied kingdom too directly will only draw the World Government's attention faster."

"Act too recklessly, and you'll jeopardize your own progress."

There was silence for a moment.

Then Sabo burst out laughing.

"Wow… that came from you!?"

"Since when did the Dragon Hunter Pirates become the voice of reason?"

Ryuunosuke smirked. "Even monsters evolve."

"But seriously—be smart about this."

"Actually, there's another kingdom in the East Blue that I have ties to," he added suddenly.

"The Kingdom of Acoslan. It's under the control of the Mondost Pirates, one of my allied crews."

"That's why I called," Sabo said, chuckling.

"Can I borrow them?"

"You don't have to ask," Ryuunosuke replied. "It's done."

The call continued for a few more minutes. They discussed logistics, troop movement, and distribution.

And then Ryuunosuke hung up.

---

To him, this alliance was more than convenience.

The more he assisted the Revolutionary Army, the more reputation he gathered.

And the more the World Government focused on them...

The more freedom he had to make his next move.

Let the world look there... while I prepare here.

Two birds, one stone.
