Besides, Black-beard could just recruit more subordinates, but once the six alchemy-powered battleships were destroyed, he would never be able to build the same battleships again. Moreover, Black-beard would never be able to go back to the way he used to be in the past without those battleships. He couldn't help but feel disappointed.
Hearing that the Tower of Dusk was recruiting sailors, Black-beard, who had been making a living at sea, and knew that the Tower of Dusk was the only force in the Breezy Plains that dared to go against the Gilded Kingdom, brought Jack along with him to submit an application. He believed that as long as he hid himself on the ship of the Tower of Dusk, he would be able to avoid being found by the Gilded Kingdom. On the other hand, he also had some hope in his heart that he would one day be able to use the Tower of Dusk to exact revenge on the Gilded Kingdom for his deceased fellow pirates.
