"That damn excuse again!!"
Byrnndi World sneered, his expression mocking as he fixed his gaze on Liu Feng.
"So, you're planning to lock me up too? Keep me frozen for decades?"
"I heard that ice brat joined your so-called new navy as well."
"What a bunch of cowards… the neo navy."
His smile dripped with sarcasm and disdain.
He can accept death and execution, for people like him, it was not a problem at all.
Liu Feng smirked dismissively. "So, you're not afraid of death, huh?"
Byrnndi World grinned. "Anyone who sets sail knows death is always a possibility, right?"
"From the moment I went to sea, I never expected to grow old."
"That damned World Government never intended to let me live anyway."
He fixed Liu Feng with a sharp glare. "If you've got the guts, just kill me already and stop wasting time."
"I've had enough of rotting in this hellhole."
But the moment he finished speaking, Byrnndi World was stunned.
Because he found that everyone present was looking at him with pity as if they were looking at a dead person.
"What?" Byrnndi World asked instinctively.
For some reason, the strange looks on their faces sent a chill down his spine. It was an unfamiliar sensation—one he had never experienced before.
"You're going to regret saying that," Golden Lion suddenly grinned.
Whitebeard hesitated, his eyelids twitching. "Yeah… don't go around saying reckless things like 'kill me' in front of Liu Feng."
Koshiro simply nodded furiously, like a wooden puppet.
Law remained completely silent, lips tightly pressed together.
"Why?" Byrnndi World frowned in confusion.
The men standing before him weren't just any warriors—they were all top-tier fighters, at least admiral-level in strength. Aside from Koshiro, the others were living legends from a bygone era. Death should be nothing new to them. They had faced it countless times. They should have accepted it long ago.
"You don't want to know."
The trembling voice came from Blackbeard, who had been silent until now.
Byrnndi World turned to look at him, only to see Blackbeard's face pale and drenched in cold sweat, as if recalling something far too horrifying to remember.
'Is this guy sick or something?' The thought flashed through Byrnndi World's mind.
"Yeah, yeah, I heard this guy has multiple Devil Fruit abilities at once. His body probably can't handle it, and now it's backfiring on him," Byrnndi World muttered to himself. "No wonder he's not thinking straight."
"That's right. I'd advise you not to say something so stupid."
Another voice suddenly chimed in.
Charlotte Linlin!
Byrnndi World's mind buzzed in confusion.
'Wait, even Big Mom is saying this? No, no… This crazy woman has always been unhinged. But still…'
One person acted like this was odd. Two was suspicious. And now, even the others were looking at him strangely.
'Could it be that Liu Feng really has a way to make someone suffer so much that they'd rather die than live?'
Then, it hit him.
'Wait! Resurrection!'
A sudden, terrifying thought shot through Byrnndi World's mind. He sucked in a sharp breath, his body stiffening.
His eyes widened, pupils shrinking into pinpricks as he stared at Liu Feng, who was smiling at him.
"If he can revive the dead without limit… then that means—!"
"Looks like you've figured it out," Liu Feng said, his smile deepening.
Byrnndi World shuddered all over.
The plain smile on Liu Feng's face, in that moment, seemed as terrifying as that of a devil.
Unexpectedly, Liu Feng suddenly laughed and said, "Don't worry, I'm not that kind of person."
At that, everyone held back their complaints, as if a thousand horses were galloping through their hearts.
Bah! You old man, you're so bad! You are that kind of person, okay!
Liu Feng ignored the judging stares and spoke in a deep voice. "I know you want to overthrow the World Government, and coincidentally, I have the same goal."
"If you want,"
"I can let you out, and we can join forces."
"Anyway, you're not afraid of death, right?"
"Since you're not afraid, then come with me to the World Government."
"It's better than rotting here until you die of old age."
Byrnndi World frowned. "So, you're recruiting me now."
"You want me to join the navy?"
"Do you really think I'll agree?"
The corners of his mouth were full of sarcasm.
Liu Feng nodded without hesitation, and strange black smoke gradually emerged from his palm. "I think you will agree."
Seeing Liu Feng's black hand, Byrnndi World's heart trembled, and he suddenly smiled.
"That's right, I really agree!"
