Chapter 190 Blackbeard’s Defection Incident

new world,

A huge boat like a white whale cuts through the waves and swims on the clear water.

"Damn it!!"

His fists pounded heavily on the illuminated deck, and the angry fire in his heart almost burned out his sanity. Ace couldn't figure out why? Why does this happen? Why? Why on earth...that bastard Teach did such an unforgivable evil act.

The body of Sachi, captain of the Fourth Squadron, was placed in the middle of the deck.

The ship's companions were standing on both sides of the ship, and the depressive and dull atmosphere replaced the laughter and laughter of the past. Whitebeard sat on the large chair, his hanging right hand clenched the handle of the 'Congyunqie', and the back of his hand The bulging veins were as ferocious as a small snake. When he heard a slight noise coming from the side, he turned his eyes and looked over.

"Marco?"

"Dad, the Big Zam Pirates... are confirmed to have disappeared from their base. They have probably been destroyed by that bastard Teach." Marco's eyes were red, and the hand holding the phone was trembling slightly. .

"...Escaped to the East? Are you preparing to go to paradise?"

The Big Zam Pirates are one of the affiliated pirate groups under Whitebeard. They are stationed in the easternmost territory.

"Daddy!!!"

suddenly,

Ace, who was kneeling in front of Thatch's body, stood up.

"Ace! Don't be impulsive."

Marco's expression changed. He couldn't care less about his sadness. He was angry and anxious. He thought with his toes and knew what Ace wanted to do. In other words... his companions standing here at the moment all knew what Ace wanted to do. With the same thought in mind.

"Dad, Tiqi... let me deal with that traitor!"

Ace turned a deaf ear to Marco's dissuasion and looked at the 'father' he respected with bloodshot eyes.

"...Ace, my son, have you made a decision?"

"Tich is my subordinate. I am responsible for the murder of Thachi... and executing him is what I must do."

"······Responsibility······That's what you think!"

"Dad, let me go!"

Ace looked extremely sad.

Anyone can see that there is a volcano ready to erupt in Ace's heart at this time. If it weren't for Moby Dick, perhaps the flames of anger would have spread to all directions, venting the unforgettable and inexhaustible anger. .

"Ace, remember, everyone is responsible for the decisions they make."

This is promised.

"Dad!"

Marco was anxious.

He glanced at Ace, who had already turned away to pack his bags, and said anxiously: "Dad, Ace... he has a wrong mentality right now and will easily suffer." To be honest, he didn't think Teach would He is Ace's opponent, even if Teach is an old crew member of the Whitebeard Pirates.

Ace's talent is there!

Compared to Tiqi, who has been working as an ordinary crew member for more than ten years, the two are completely different.

As for Sachi's death... all the wounds were on his back. This was simply the most shameless sneak attack that took advantage of the trust between his companions. Otherwise, with Sachi's ability, how could he have lost his life so easily!

The reason Marco wanted to stop Ace was because he was worried that Ace would fall into a trap due to his impulse.

after all,

That bastard Tiqi seemed to have planned it. He assassinated Sachi in a sneak attack. After snatching away the Devil Fruit that Sachi had recently obtained, he escaped as quickly as possible. When Sachi's body was discovered, it was confirmed that the assailant was Tiqi... At this time, he could no longer catch up.

The most intuitive evidence is that the Daizam Pirates, who were at least a day and a night away from their current location, were destroyed.

This series of performances is completely inconsistent with the rude, upright, and brainless Teach in my impression! Thinking about it more deeply... one can't help but wonder if Teach's behavior on the ship was a disguise. If so... he is a very scary guy in terms of his character.

If this bad-tempered bastard joins forces with the Beasts, Big Mom or the like, there is no way Ace alone can be his opponent.

Of course, this is the worst-case scenario and the chance of happening is very small.

But it was an undeniable reality that Ace was extremely emotionally unstable. He went after Teach so recklessly... His instincts felt uneasy.

"Marco, Ace is the captain of the second division."

"What does it matter? Teach was already there before Ace got on the ship."

"It has nothing to do with sooner or later. As Ace said, this is his responsibility as the captain. If Teach is in the first team, what will you do, Marco?"

The question silenced Marco.

Whitebeard didn't speak again.

He looked down at Saqi, who had closed his eyes forever, his eyes filled with sadness and sorrow... He could no longer taste the food Saqi cooked, and he would be reminded not to forget to eat when he ate every day. Yao's son could no longer speak.

Great sadness overwhelmed his soul.

Why is it that only Ace has a volcano ready to erupt in his heart? Whitebeard's heart is filled with rage that can burn mountains and seas. He wants to personally take action to deal with this bastard Teach...but he can't, he can't. Leave the new world easily.

He understands that his every move will affect the nerves of countless people.

If he could be ten years younger, he would not be afraid of anyone's opinions. He would use the naginata in his hand to carve out a road of revenge, but time cannot be turned back, and he cannot go back to ten years ago... He is already Don't have the strength to act recklessly.

so,

No matter how angry he is, he can only endure it and wait for Ace to truly grow up, be able to take over the banner in his hands, and protect the other sons... Then he can be unscrupulous and finally There's a big fuss!

Ace moved quickly. He simply packed his bags and launched his assault boat.

"Dad, I'm leaving."

"Go!"

A brief farewell between father and son.

Ace looked at Marco and the other captains again, nodded slightly in greeting, and then——

Turn around and leave resolutely,

He jumped on the assault boat, and blazing fireworks suddenly shot out from the tail. The small assault boat flew out like an arrow from the string, leaving a long white mark on the sea. Under the watchful eyes of thousands of crew members, the Whitebeard Pirates gradually disappeared from the edge of the sky.

"...Have a nice trip! Idiot son!"

Whitebeard closed his eyes and sent blessings to his son who was traveling far away.

————

The shocking news seemed to have grown wings, no, to be precise, he had boarded the express train of the biological wave of the phone bug. The captain of the fourth division of the Whitebeard Pirates, Thatch, was killed by his fellow shipmate, Marshall Ti. A strange murder, this news instantly swept the new world.

This is not to say that the Whitebeard Pirates do not have a sense of confidentiality.

But there is no way to keep it secret. There are more than 1,600 people in the Whitebeard Pirates. In addition, there are 43 affiliated pirate groups under it... Besides, there is no such thing. The meaning of confidentiality is that you can't even hold a funeral in order to prevent the news from being leaked, right?

Of course, it would be embarrassing if word of this got out.

You must know that compared to the Big Mom Pirates, which is established by blood relations, the Whitebeard Pirates are considered more like a family by many people.

It's a pity that this legend of being as close as a family has been broken.

In short,

This matter soon spread to the ears of all the powerful people in the new world, including some people in the paradise.

Big Mom laughed happily when he heard this, and sarcastically mocked Whitebeard's stupidity in front of his children, how could his adopted son be as loyal as his own child, and so on;

The drunken beasts shed tears of sadness, shouting crazy things such as Whitebeard was about to die and he would personally send Whitebeard on his way;

Tianyaksha sat in front of the window sill, looking into the distance, with the corners of his mouth raised, his smile so crazy and ferocious... He smelled the breath of war, and the symbols of the old era were finally about to fall, and the new ones were The time is coming!

Needless to say, the Navy is a behemoth. The Whitebeard Pirates have always had a dedicated intelligence unit to keep an eye on it. Naturally, such a big thing was reported back to Marine Fando as soon as possible.

The Navy Headquarters was shocked.

"Really or not? That Sachi... is dead? He is obviously as strong as a monster."

"...If it hadn't really happened, I wouldn't believe it would happen to the Whitebeard Pirates."

"...Will the new world become chaotic?"

"It's hard to say! The rest of the Pirate Emperors must be watching eagerly waiting for Whitebeard to reveal his flaws! As long as Whitebeard doesn't have Alzheimer's disease, he will definitely not act rashly at this time..."

"Huh? You sound like you know a lot about Whitebeard. If you ask me, Whitebeard is famous for guarding his shortcomings. This... Marshall Teach will be finished soon."

In the corridors of the headquarters building, in the cafeteria, in the smoking room... you can see animated discussions among the generals and officers everywhere.

Marshal's Office,

"Marshall Teach, do you have any information on this person?"

Marshal Sengoku asked the major general in charge of commanding the intelligence force.

"some."

"I've sorted it out."

The major general of the intelligence force who had been prepared respectfully handed the prepared brown paper bag to the man standing at the top of the navy.

It has to be said that Whitebeard is the only one of the three legendary pirates who is still active. The world government and the navy have given him the highest level of attention and established an intelligence unit specifically to investigate and monitor the Whitebeard Pirates.

The Whitebeard Pirates, from Whitebeard and the captains to the newly joined trainee pirates, are all within the scope of the investigation. Even if it is a pet, the details must be found out.

As the "old man" of the Whitebeard Pirates, Marshall Teach's intelligence unit has naturally collected relevant information for a long time.

"...The Whitebeard Pirates who joined twenty-four years ago? Marshall Teach, nicknamed Blackbeard..."

The Warring States Period had no reaction to the nickname Blackbeard. He had seen many similar nicknames, such as tea beard, peach beard, blue beard, curly beard, spring beard, Damascus beard...there were so many different ways.

"... From the intelligence point of view, there's nothing special about it!"

Warring States put down the information in his hand.

"This... the Whitebeard Pirates have sixteen divisions with more than 1,600 people. It is impossible to conduct a more in-depth investigation on an ordinary member..." The major general was also helpless. How could anyone know that this Marshall Teach actually dared to do such an earth-shattering thing.

"That's it for now!"

The Warring States Period did not pursue any responsibilities. Strictly speaking, the other party did not neglect their duties or neglect their work. Whoever takes charge of the intelligence force will probably have similar results.

You can't expect your subordinates to predict the future.

That just doesn't make sense.

"Okay, go out!" Warring States adjusted his frog glasses and looked at the door, "Zefa, Ahe, come in!"

The major general bowed his head and said hello to the two big men, then carefully stepped out, not forgetting to close the door gently.

"Where's Garp?"

Zefa looked around.

He didn't see anyone in the cafeteria, and he thought that guy Garp came to Warring States again to eat and drink...

"That bastard has returned to the East China Sea."

Warring States said angrily.

"...Back to the East China Sea? At this time? Why?" Zefa scratched his head, wondering why he returned to the East China Sea at this unseasonable time?

"Said he was going to see his grandson."

"Eh? But didn't he go back not long ago?"

"······"

Warring States had a dark face and said nothing.

Zefa shook his head and gave up questioning.

As for them, they probably won't be able to understand Garp's magical brain circuit in this life.

"Sengoku, what are you going to do about the Whitebeard Pirates?" Lieutenant General He sat down on the sofa and asked straight to the point what Sengoku's intentions were.

Zefa also sat down next to He.

"Maybe this is a sign."

Sengoku stroked his beard.

"Whitebeard...is really old! If it had been before, he would have killed the traitor long ago. There would be no need for a captain to go out and hunt down the traitor."

Firefist single-handedly hunted down the traitor Blackbeard's intelligence navy.

Not only the Warring States Period,

Zefa and He also got this piece of information.

"Warring States, are you going to take action against Fire Fist?" He frowned, "There's no good in angering Whitebeard at this time!"

The more injured the beast, the more dangerous it is.

This is a very simple truth.

"I'm not that impatient." Sengoku shook his head and denied, "If we attack Fire Fist, we will definitely attract all of Whitebeard's anger to our navy... My opinion on Whitebeard's matter Let nature take its course, but...the Holy Land has completely different opinions."

"Holy land? Humph! What do those officials want to do?"

Zefa has a bad attitude.

"The Holy Land believes that Whitebeard is old. Now is the best opportunity to deal with Whitebeard. Before the second 'Whitebeard' is born, Whitebeard and the entire pirate group will be destroyed." Sengoku repeated expressionlessly. After reading the will from the Holy Land.

"Are they crazy? Are the idiots in the Holy Land full of horse dung in their heads? What do you think Whitebeard is who is about to die? Are you a loser who can be stepped on by anyone?"

Zefa slapped the table and cursed.

He also frowned.

It’s not that the Navy is incapable of destroying the Whitebeard Pirates, it’s just that it’s wary of Whitebeard’s astonishing large-scale destructive power. It may not be impossible to collapse the Red Earth Continent if it’s in a hurry. Also... the Navy can’t be without power. Killing a pirate emperor with casualties.

Even if they pay a certain price to defeat the Whitebeard Pirates, there are still three pirate emperors in the new world.

Coupled with the fact that more and more new pirates are rushing into the sea every year... the navy must maintain a strong enough deterrent force at all times, otherwise once the navy shows its weak posture, By then, not only the new world, but also the paradise and the world... will be in chaos.

"Warring States, has the Holy Land made a decision?" He stopped Zefa from slapping the table.

"The formal order has not come down yet, but there is no room for change."

"Where is Marshal Kong? Does Marshal Kong know the orders of the Holy Land?"

Zefa asked.

"Marshal Kong can't change the collective decision of the five old stars."

Speaking of which,

Zefa and He both understood that there was no room for change, and the Holy Land seemed determined to deal with the Whitebeard Pirates this time.

"...Are we planning to let our navy spend our lives to fill the hole? Kill Whitebeard... Hum, that's easy to say... I really want those officers to go there by themselves Try how terrifying Whitebeard is!"

"Zefa, just say a few words. It's not a good habit to complain. It will be very troublesome if people in the Holy Land hear it."

Warring States looked unhappy.

He also disagreed with such a risky idea. The navy shoulders the heavy responsibility of safeguarding peace at sea and cannot take unnecessary risks just because of whim... But it is obvious that the big shots in the Holy Land have different ideas. In their view, The Navy is just a pawn of the World Government, a knife in the Holy Land's hands.

Whether it’s a chess piece or a knife, you don’t need to have an idea of ​​your own.

Just obey the orders obediently.

"So, what is the Holy Land going to do? Seize Fire Fist Ace and force Whitebeard to commit suicide?" Zefa scoffed coldly with a sullen face. His disgust for the Holy Land has reached a new level. Should the army have its own thoughts? He didn't know, but he knew very well that the Holy Land didn't care about the lives of civilians at all.

They simply don't understand what the new world will be like if Whitebeard dies.

To be precise, I probably don't care.

"The target of the Fire Fist is too small, and it is difficult to determine the whereabouts of one person... The meaning of the Holy Land is to first cut off the vassal pirate group under Whitebeard and cut off Whitebeard's wings. Then, the three generals will join the Shichibukai to fight with all their strength. Destroy the Whitebeard Pirates."

Warring States closed his eyes when he said these words, and he did not dare to look at the faces of Zefa and He.

"Haha! You really think Whitebeard is a wooden man who can't move."

Zefa was not angry this time, but laughed.

This plan sounds like a good plan, but in fact it seems to Zefa to be bullshit. Why should Whitebeard act obediently according to their ideas? Cutting off Whitebeard's wings... Believe it or not, Moby Dick will go directly to the bottom of the Red Earth Continent. It will regret it when there is a big earthquake in the Red Earth Continent...

"...Warring States, this plan is completely unfeasible."

Crane said firmly no.

The Navy cannot afford to waste its strength on such a foolish plan.

"I know, I know, the key is that the Holy Land... the Holy Land responded too quickly this time. Not long after we received the information, the Holy Land has already made a decision..." Warring States frowned Browsing, "Wulaoxing contacted me directly. The formal order will be issued later, but... we have been asked to start preparing specific strategic and tactical plans immediately."

Crane's eyes suddenly widened.

Zefa couldn't care less about the big shots mocking the Holy Land, and he smelled something strange.

"...Do you have any clues?" He asked softly.

"No, I'm confused."

Warring States sighed.

It would be great if there were any clues, but the problem is that he, the navy marshal, doesn't know what is going on in the Holy Land!

"Anyway, Zefa, Ahe, I don't care about complaining, but... we can't delay what we need to do, Zefa, don't let the training of new recruits fall behind, we need enough troops to replenish consumption, it's best The results will be seen in the near future, Ahe, please lead the staff to implement the specific action plan!"

Warring States issued the order.

The two people on the sofa nodded silently.

In their minds, a miserable scene like a mountain of corpses and a sea of ​​blood quietly emerged... I wonder how many people will never be able to return to their hometowns this time!
