697 , Ace and Red Hair, Crane's Investigation and Suspicion
"So BIG Mom is the most likely, followed by Whitebeard and the Emperor?"
"We don't rule out Kaido and us. After all, the crazy marine has always been domineering and strong."
Beckman shook his head and smoked.
"It seems we need to be on guard."
"Vigilance is a must, the premise is that the Navy will really take action against the Five Emperors."
Beckman blew out smoke, looked at the red-haired man seriously and continued, "If the Navy takes action against the other five emperors, should we still intervene?"
"did you mean?"
"We intervened in the Golden City incident. You fought Kaido. There is no need to intervene again this time. What's more, if the Navy really kills one of the Five Emperors, someone will naturally take his place. After all, those monsters who escaped from the Impel City
No one is a ruthless character.
Besides, it would do us no good to interfere."
"I see."
"Captain, there is someone visiting you outside. He is the captain of the nearest Supernova Spade Pirates."
At this moment, a pirate walked in at the entrance of the cave and said something.
"Spade Pirates?"
The red-haired man was a little surprised, narrowed his eyes and nodded, "Let him in."
Then several figures came in from the entrance of the cave.
The leader was a shirtless young man with black hair, a few freckles on his cheeks, and a hat. He looked young.
"I didn't expect that the supernova that has been soaring in the sky recently would come to visit me. Do you want to declare a challenge?"
The corner of his mouth was furrowed, and the red-haired man raised his head and looked at the young man in front of him, his eyes sharp and domineering.
"No...no...I'm not here to declare a challenge!"
Feeling the mountain-like pressure, the young man waved his hands and laughed, "My brother always mentions you to me, saying that you are his savior. As a brother, I want to meet you and say thank you in person."
"Luffy?"
The red-haired man was stunned for a moment, and then his brain flashed.
"right."
Ace scratched his head and grinned.
"You came just in time to have a nice chat with me."
The redhead patted the place next to him.
"Young ladies, there's a party!"
"oh!"
The whole cave was filled with heat and laughter from both sides.
"Is that guy still clamoring to become the Pirate King?"
After eating a lot of meat, the redhead clinked a glass with Ace and took a sip, and then learned about Luffy's condition from Ace's mouth.
"That idiot has been clamoring to become the Pirate King since he was a child, but it's a pity. I have to decide on the position of the Pirate King. When I become the Pirate King, I will protect him."
Ace took a sip of wine and patted his chest.
"Haha, that guy still hasn't changed, but you are very ambitious."
The red-haired man also smiled, but then said seriously, "It's not easy to become the Pirate King."
"I have already thought about it. First of all, I want the whole world to recognize my strength."
Putting down the wine bowl, Ace narrowed his eyes slightly and looked serious.
"Oh? What should we do?"
The red-haired man also put down his wine bowl and looked at the young man in front of him.
"Down with the strongest man in the world!" Ace clenched his fist with force and confidence.
The entire cave fell silent. Beckman and the others looked at Ace and frowned. Luffy, the older brother, was a bit overestimating his abilities!
"The World's Strongest Man, Whitebeard?"
The redhead was shocked and confused.
"right."
"Do you know what it means to be the strongest in the world?"
The red-haired man looked serious. Since he was Luffy's brother, he felt it was necessary to remind him.
"It's just knowing that I'm ready to challenge."
Ace devoured meat, still full of confidence and determination.
In the end, the red hair failed to persuade Ace, and as the banquet ended, Ace left in the wind and snow.
Late at night, the stars twinkled in the sky, and a full moon hung slanting in the sky.
Malinvando.
"Sister, it's time for you to rest."
Gion walked into Tsuru's office with a cup of coffee and found that Tsuru was still watching intelligence and battle videos about the emperor.
Crane has been investigating the emperor since the death of the Warring States Period.
Trying to find something in the intelligence and these battle videos.
He was killed in just ten minutes during the Warring States Period, which made He very suspicious.
He felt that no one in this world could kill Warring States within ten minutes.
Unless the opponent has some weird devil fruit ability, such as Foxy's slow ability.
Otherwise, with Sengoku's skills, even Whitebeard would not be able to kill him in ten minutes. You must know whether it is killing or defeating.
It is difficult to kill every strong person standing at the top of the pyramid, after all, everyone has the trump card.
But the Golden City incident really gave He a splitting headache, and he always felt that something had been overlooked.
At present, she has determined that the emperor has the return of life, and has even awakened for the second time. He has the strange overlord color, the superior armed color, and the voice of all things.
As for whether he is a devil fruit user, there is no conclusive evidence.
It stands to reason that every strong person has a past, but the emperor seemed to appear out of nowhere, without even a trace of his past deeds.
This has to make He suspicious.
"You go to sleep first!"
Taking the coffee from Gion, Tsuru rubbed his forehead and looked at the battle images in front of him.
"Did sister see anything?"
Gion sat down next to He, and she knew that He had been studying until late at night every day during this period.
"No."
Crane sighed.
"The emperor has always been wearing a mask before. It should be that he is afraid of being exposed. It should be said that he does not want his true face to be discovered. However, the Golden City incident exposed his face on his own initiative. This means that the emperor is no longer afraid of being exposed, or that some of his purposes have been
achieve.
However, after being exposed, no one on the sea knew the emperor, so there was no need to wear a mask before.
Sister, didn't you say that the emperor controls the return of high-level lives? Then this face may not be true."
Gion looked at the battle between the Emperor and Garp in the video.
He was lost in thought, and the last sentence made him stare at the image.
Mastering Life Return, especially at a high level, it is too easy to change your body and face.
Therefore, it cannot be ruled out that the emperor's current face is fake.
"I always feel that the emperor's fighting style is a bit familiar, as if I have seen it somewhere. Also, how on earth did the emperor kill the Warring States Marshal in those ten minutes? Unless he has mastered abilities similar to Foxy's.
The kind that makes you unable to resist once hit, but the Emperor has not revealed any Devil Fruit abilities so far, and those fighting forms are more like the aerosol generated by using life return, such as Lieutenant General Garp."
Gion pointed to the aerosol bubbles that kept bursting and reappearing around Garp in the image.
"If these are due to Devil Fruit, then they should be superhuman types. However, I have checked the Devil Fruit Illustrated Book and found that they do not match. However, I cannot rule out that it is an unrecorded Devil Fruit ability."
Tsuru didn't say anything, just stared at the image while listening to Gion's questions.
But the more I looked at it, the more I felt I had caught something, but it was always just a little bit off.
As for the questions Gion mentioned, she had thought about them.
There is still too little information available.
"Sister, this should be the emperor's ability. He was penetrated through the chest and still had fighting power. It may be some kind of recovery, suppression, or delay ability, just like Phoenix Marco, and the healing fruits recorded in the Devil Fruit Illustrated Book.
Auxiliary fruit.”
Gion frowned and looked at the image, fast forwarding, slowing down, and pausing to study it in all directions.
But still nothing was found.
However, when He, who was sitting aside, heard Gion talking about recovery, suppression, and delay abilities, his pupils dilated slightly and he kept mumbling.
"Gion, go to bed first!"
After coming back to his senses, Crane's face was expressionless.
"Then sister, you should go to bed early."
Gion yawned, closed the door and returned to his bedroom.
But He kept flipping through the emperor's information, reorganizing whether it was battle images or information documents, and at the same time wrote down all kinds of questions and suspicions.
And began to compare with those famous strong men on the sea.
In this way, He locked himself in the room and thought for three whole days.
