Time flickered, and several days passed. These days were calm; nothing significant happened, and everything felt dull.

Marco also took advantage of the past few days to summarize his combat abilities and reflect on what had happened during this period.

On the Blackbeard Pirates' side, following the "Battle of Break," it seemed they had been shouting slogans about chasing down the remnants of the Whitebeard Pirates, but he had not seen them actually pursuing anyone. "Blackbeard… Perhaps he and his subordinates are hunting for abilities in the New World!"

Blackbeard, as the most dangerous enemy lurking in the shadows, was extremely vicious and could strike at any moment, which made Marco very concerned.

According to the records in the original book, after the Battle of Break, Blackbeard led a group of ruthless individuals who were busy hunting down abilities in the New World, particularly those with special and powerful Devil Fruit abilities. These had become the targets of Blackbeard's crew.

The purpose of the hunt was to empower Blackbeard's subordinates with the ability to obtain new Devil Fruits! This idea was somewhat similar to the original concept of Caesar Clown's slime transferring a Devil Fruit to an apple. Upon the slime's death, the apple would inherit the slime's Devil Fruit ability and become the new Devil Fruit! The Blackbeard Pirates would hunt Devil Fruit users, allowing them to transfer the Devil Fruit to one of their subordinates.

"Although it seems that the Blackbeard Pirates have no time to hunt me down for now… every time they successfully acquire a Devil Fruit ability, the strength of the Blackbeard Pirates skyrockets! Once they no longer need to hunt for Devil Fruits, they will definitely target me again! For me… this is not a good situation!"

Currently, it seemed the two sides would not engage in combat without Blackbeard, but if a confrontation did occur, Marco was not confident in his ability to defeat Blackbeard...

This was an enemy he had to face!

If he didn't proactively seek opportunities to deal with Blackbeard, he would fall into a state of complete passivity. Marco had had enough of that feeling in the past; he was determined not to sit idly by in this life, passively waiting for the enemy to make a move against him. He had to take the initiative and control his own destiny!

"It's best to find a way to defeat the Blackbeard Pirates!"

Marco considered that if he could learn of the scattered whereabouts of the Blackbeard Pirates, pinpoint their exact locations, and systematically eliminate them one by one, it would greatly weaken the overall strength of the Blackbeard Pirates!

"Hunting."

Thinking about this, Marco couldn't help but reflect on the idea of hunting.

"The underworld… Perhaps there will be news about the Blackbeard Pirates!"

"Beyond the most dangerous Blackbeard, there are also the Hundred Beasts Pirates and the Big Mom Pirates! Even… the headquarters of the Navy under the leadership of Akainu!"

Marco's eyes flashed with murderous intent. There were so many potential enemies; even if they did not initiate conflict, they would be on the lookout for information about him and would likely seek trouble!

It's better to be proactive than to remain passive!

"The underworld…"

As he considered this, Marco thought of two well-known figures: the first was Doflamingo, and the second, who had a cooperative relationship with Doflamingo, was nicknamed 'Golden Emperor' Gild Tesoro!

"Doflamingo is close to Kaido; if I approach him directly… it might lead to intriguing possibilities."

"There are also a few well-known figures in the underworld, all of whom have close ties to Charlotte Lingling."

Among them are the 'Organ Merchant' Jigra, the 'Loan Shark' Du Feld, and the 'Sea King' Umit, all with deep connections to Big Mom!

"If I can find one of them, I'll just beat them up. If they show any resistance… I won't hesitate to kill!"

Marco thought to himself.

"Tuk Tuk!"

Just then, he heard a knock at the door, followed by Belivia's voice, "The food is ready! Come and try my cooking!"

At the dining table, Marco took a bite of the food. Some dishes were golden and melted in his mouth, while others were delicious and juicy, leaving a delightful aftertaste. He casually praised, "Good craftsmanship."

"Hee-hee!" Belivia replied with joy, her big eyes shining as she looked at Marco in disbelief. "Are you not going to drive me away? I can cook, I can do laundry, I can navigate, I can control the battery, and I can… also…"

"What else?"

Marco asked casually, still focused on his meal without looking up.

"Also… Nuan…" Belivia suddenly lowered her head, swallowing her words and turning red. She bit her lip nervously. "I also know the locations of many islands, and I'm aware of the forces on those islands! I know so much!"

"Huh?" Marco looked up and asked, "Do you know the 'Loan Shark King'?"

"The King of Usury?" Belivia poked her cheek with her right index finger, a habit she had when recalling something. Suddenly, she clapped her hands and said with a jubilant smile, "I remember! The King of Usury, also known as the [God of Blessing], is named Du Feld!"

"Huh?" Now it was Marco's turn to be surprised. What a revelation! Belivia actually knew these figures from the underground world? Not only was she skilled in navigation, but she also possessed extensive knowledge—traits that were not typical of ordinary girls. Who was she really?

Since meeting Belivia, Marco had never inquired about her identity; he had assumed she was simply the little girl he saved on a whim. But now… he was compelled to think more deeply about it.

The pirates of the Hundred Beasts Pirates had not killed her, nor had they done anything excessive to her; they had merely imprisoned her. Clearly, there were many subtleties hidden in this situation.

"Are you... thinking about my identity?"

Belivia bit her lip, as if summoning great courage. "If you want to know, I won't hide anything from you. In fact… I am…"
