Keys To The Gate

Blackbeard is a human who was very talented in the Pirate Arts, however, several years ago he went into hiding. Even the rumored death of Calico Jack did not stir his interest. His interactions with other pirates had ceased.

Blackbeard used a legendary ship of the Pirate World, [Queen Anne"s Revenge] which he was said to control using his soul alone. He travelled the seas and oceans alone, leaving his crew to manage his lands while he stayed reclusive on this mysterious ship. Among the four Pirate Kings during the time of Calico Jack, Blackbeard was considered the last in strength, however after not revealing himself for such a period, it was not known what his current strength truly was.

Tristan decided to contact Blackbeard for a "friendly" chat. With Blind Night and the Kraken, as well as a choice of his fleet, he decided to go pay this reclusive pirate a visit.

When he personally entered Blackbeard"s territory, the Blackbeard pirates personally gave way. They knew they were no match for the the combined might of the fleets of two Pirate Kings amd a Kraken. Tristan used [Neptune"s Navigator] to locate Blackbeard"s current position and follow him.

After two days of travel, Tristan found the Queen Anne"s Revenge floating over a calm sea. Tristan found Blackbeard sitting on the deck, calmly looking out towards the sea. When he noticed the arrival of Tristan and saw the Blind Night he snorted.

"Did I not tell you I would kill you if you entered my waters?" Blackbeard spoke with clear hostility.

"The pirate world has drastically changed. I felt that I owe you at least one visit and know my compatriot." Tristan said calmly.

Blackbeard"s beard began shaking in the wind. "I warned you, but you actually thought you became the pirate world hegemon after killing that ghost Van der Decken? A weakling like you who only won because of that beast by your side... today I shall teach you a lesson. Never mess with I... Blackbeard."

Suddenly Blackbeard released his energy, a powerful wave spread through the air and the temperature of the waters began rising. Blackbeard had indeed been hiding his strength. He was at the peak of the third realm, almost at the fourth realm, fluctuating between the two stages.

He was strong, yet weaker than Calico Jack was in his final moments.

Tristan remained unfazed. "I found out that you received some kind of Blood Token. Is this related to the increase in your power? Looks like you spent a decade trying to use it and have yet failed to move into the fourth realm."

Blackbeard was enraged. "A weakling like you... prepare to face my wrath."

Blackbeard seemed to have developed a powerful fleshy body. A blood avatar appeared behind him and tried to punch Tristan. Tristan would obviously not try to take that punch. The Kraken raised a tentacle covered with aura and slapped the Blood Avatar"s punch, however both were equal in strength.

However Blackbeard coughed some blood out. The Kraken was unfazed. Tristan raised his hand and used his fine control to release an extremely fine blast of repulsive power that hit the blood avatar"s face. Immediately a hole was formed within the avatar and Blackbeard coughed out blood again.

"This is all you"ve got?" Tristan asked with disappointment.

Blackbeard laughed. He suddenly began burning hot and the Blood Avatar began to fuse with his own body. Blackbeard had a manic look and his power had a hint of reaching the fourth level.

Tristan shook his head. "This power has made you crazy. I had come with peaceful intentions, but your aggressiveness has brought out your own demise."

Tristan used Tree Energy Art, the sovereign raven tattoo as well using the Kraken to slap Blackbeard to death. The combination was extremely powerful. Tristan knew that the biggest gamechanger was the Kraken, without which he would not have had a chance against blackbeard in a match. However, he could easily use the kraken to both attack, pierce as well as grip Blackbeard in place.

Although the Kraken suffered from some damage, Blackbeard had been beaten black and blue and suddenly a blood token flew out of his chest. Blackbeard looked like he was going to die. Tristan shook his head. "Craze for power to the point of losing yourself. Was there a point? Greed is the downfall of man."

Blackbeard looked extremely skinny. Tristan looked at the blood token and the terrifying aura it emitted. "This token is terrifying, but it wasn"t compatible with you, yet you forced a fusion with it and let hubris get the best of you. You are a pitiful man, Blackbeard."

However when Tristan held the token in his hand, he was shocked. The system had identified this object, and its name terrified him.

[Blood G.o.d"s Token]

"Blood G.o.d? Who was Blood G.o.d now?" Tristan wondered to himself. "Wasn"t this obtained from the Demons?"

Blackbeard looked at Tristan with hatred. "Kill me now and be done with it."

Tristan shook his head. "I never intended to harm you. It was you who tried to intimidate me, you were the one who threatened me in your very first parlay and you who were the one to attack me. Killing you would only throw the Pirate World into chaos and cause a big war with the Hegemons."

Blackbeard calmed down. "Why are you sparing me, but not the Dutchman."

Tristan smiled. "Hand me your s.p.a.ce Ring."

Blackbeard was outraged, but without any choice, he complied. Tristan then left the scene.

Days later, a new news spread across the Pirate World. The three Pirate Kings had formed an alliance and would control the Pirate World together. Rules were established. With Blackbeard being a human, White Beard a Battle Body Species and the new pirate DeadSpin reportedly a ghost species, the three hegemons also calmed down, though many feelers were sent to Deadspin asking how he tamed the Kraken.

Tristan spread a lie that he saved the Kraken"s life when it was injured and thus the Kraken began following him. This subsided the crazed desires of the three powers and stability returned to the Pirate World.
