[Chapter Heading Serial·Three Kingdoms 8·"Really, so beautiful..."]
[Following a team of Nine Snakes warriors, the Empress stepped onto the land of Fish-Man Island without any expression. Countless fish and mermaid residents gathered on the island and the surrounding windless waters, and there were endless exclamations of fascination.
Sound. The mermaid princess is also very beautiful, but she is pitifully beautiful, but this empress is so beautiful that she is almost overbearing, making people unable to resist... Hancock ignored Neptune who came over to shake hands, and went on his own.
Walk up to Bai Xing and look up.]
----------------------------------
〖New World, Sphinx——〗
The island is named after the many Sphinxes who live on it...
It was also the hometown of Whitebeard, once the strongest man in the world.
The wind of the great sea route is blowing slowly.
Huh, uh, uh...
The shabby black pirate flag is constantly trembling in the wind.
White beard, skull smile.
It is not the new Whitebeard Pirates, but the pirate symbol that belongs to Whitebeard's father alone. Along with this flag of the old era, it is six meters long tied to the hilt of the sword. He will fight with the old man for a lifetime.
Enter the sharp knife "Congyunqie".
It is exactly the same height as the white-bearded dad himself.
The broken pirate flag was used as a head, and the supreme sharp knife Cong Yun was cut into bones. The shabby coat hanging on the knife was like his immortal body...
"Edward Newgate (1450～1522)"
Looking at the words carved by himself on the tombstone, Ace touched the beard he had specially grown and said to himself: "Every time I stand here, it's like seeing him again."
"..."
Looking up at the shabby coat hanging on the handle of the knife, which was rustling in the wind, Marco smiled and said, "Dad has always been stingy, hasn't he? He would drink from other people's wine, and he never entertained guests in the shop.
.Everyone knows that every time he gets a treasure, he will secretly give it to the people in the village he built on this island..."
Edward Newgate never knew who his parents were as long as he could remember, and most of his old friends were no longer alive. He had longed for his family all his life, so he regarded this place as his hometown and the people in this village as his needs.
The loved ones he protects. The man who is called the strongest in the world spends his whole life just trying to heal his childhood.
"This pirate coat is in tatters..."
Marco took off his glasses, pressed his eyes to hold back tears, and said with a grin, "He has worn them for more than ten years, and sometimes he would rather protect them with domineering power than to buy a new one... He always likes to make his son worry about that damn thing.
Dad, there's nothing we can do against him!"
~~~~~~~~~~
"Why are you on our ship?!"
At the same time, on this day, on Sonny's ship, which was continuing to follow Ace's piece of life paper and heading towards the Sphinx Island at full speed, the shouts of Usopp, Luffy and the others suddenly sounded.
"Ah?" Perona shouted angrily as she drank her drink with a question mark on her head, "What do you mean! What Blackbeard are you going to deal with? The old woman who killed Lord Moria, isn't the ugly aunt also here?
Then of course I have to go with you! Did you just notice me? Isn’t that too rude?!"
"Oh, it turns out I'm here for revenge." Luffy and Usopp nodded and exhaled, "It's okay then."
"Why are you so rude to ladies! Bastard!" Sanji lit up his cigarette and controlled the golden Frisbee to deliver desserts. Hearing this, he immediately became angry.
While Luffy and Usopp were playing tricks, they noticed something was missing. They looked around, and there was no Chopper with us!
"Chopper is adapting to the new Devil Fruit abilities in the Mirror World."
Nami, who had changed her clothes, walked out, and beside her was Robin with a ponytail.
Snap.
The navigator snapped his fingers twice to attract everyone's attention and said, "I got some information from Sister Robin about this operation and our future sailing plan..."
Sanji who was courting Perona, Zoro who woke up from a nap on the deck, Franky who was refilling his stomach with Coke, Brooke who was maintaining the instrument, and others couldn't help but look at them.
"This is about...how to find the final island and the key to becoming the 'Pirate King'!"
Nami raised a finger and said seriously, "You can't reach the real final island by relying on the record pointer! The key to the matter lies in the four 'road sign historical texts' that record the coordinate data of the final island! Only by recording these
After collecting all four historical texts and deciphering the information recorded on them, we can piece together the true location of the Final Island!"
"I see..." Zoro pondered.
"No wonder!" Franky chuckled, "Let me just say, if the end of the route is the final island, then this final island should have been under the control of the world government long ago!"
"That's right." Sanji puffed out smoke, "However, if you want to collect these four historical texts, what you need is 'intelligence'..."
"The good news is that Sister Robin and Lynch already have information on the historical text of the two road signs."
Nami smiled and sighed again, "But the bad news is that we have no clue where the remaining two historical texts of road signs are..."
"Oh ho ho ho, the difficulty has been reduced by half, which is already very good!" Brooke said with a smile behind his hands, "Since Miss Nami mentioned this to us at this time, I guess... Miss Nami thinks that in the Whitebeard Pirates
Among the group, the Big Mom Pirates, and the Blackbeard Pirates, there may be two other historical texts of road signs, at least some information about their whereabouts."
"That's right." Nami smiled, "These big pirates must have done nothing for so many years, right?"
"One of our two historical texts of road signs was obtained from Big Mom back then." Robin said slowly, "Blackbeard is a traitor to the Whitebeard Pirates, and the Blackbeard Pirates led by him have only just been officially established.
It's been more than a year, and the possibility that he has mastered the historical text of the road sign is relatively small. So I guess... he is so dedicated to the new Whitebeard Pirates and Whitebeard's hometown, maybe because he knows what Whitebeard has in his hands.
And for Blackbeard, who aspires to be the Pirate King, the most attractive thing is most likely the 'road sign historical text'..."
Everyone listened and couldn't help but nodded.
At this time, I noticed that a certain guy seemed to be particularly quiet - Nami looked at Luffy, who was looking at the sky with his legs crossed, as if he was distracted, and was speechless, "You are the one who wants to become the Pirate King! At least listen carefully.
?"
"If he listened to others, he wouldn't be Luffy." Usopp sighed and held his forehead.
"Huh? What are you talking about?" Luffy came back to his senses, turned around and smiled mischievously, "Where are Lynch and Merry? Listen to me... I just thought of a very interesting way to appear!"
Is such a guy really a captain?
With tea and dessert in her mouth, Perona fainted and sighed to Zoro and others: "You guys have worked really hard."
~~~~~~~~~~
"No news yet from Jozy?"
"No. The same goes for Legge and the others."
"Probably still on Fish-Man Island. There's no way to contact us through phone bugs there."
"hope so……"
On Sphinx Island, in front of Whitebeard's tomb, Marco and Ace were talking. Suddenly, they stopped talking and their eyes changed at the same time.
They turned and looked around.
The wind has changed...
Hurrah!
In the distance, among the mountains surrounding the island, there are constantly flocks of birds, rising like black clouds.
The animals living on the island seemed to be frightened and fled in panic.
Even the Sphinxes, who were able to be captured by the Impel City Prison and sent to guard the Level 2 Beast Hell, looked very uneasy and looked at the sky far away on the side of the island from time to time.
Behind the surrounding mountains, dark clouds covered the dusk sky, and darkness was slowly approaching the island.
The sphinxes looked like human beings with expressions of fear on their faces, and they curled up their tails and ran away.
"Here he comes." Ace looked at the dark sky over there, "It's Teach."
"He is now 'Blackbeard'." Marco said with a smile.
"Then we have to ask our 'Whitebeard Pirates' if we will agree." Ace rubbed his fists and smiled.
"Ace, you can leave."
Marco said, "This year, when I heard the news that Tikki was already a dual devil fruit user, I understood that Tikki's body was indeed a special 'alien'. I am a ship doctor, and I am very familiar with it.
Understand his special characteristics. So far, I have never heard any news that Teach has a third devil fruit ability... He deliberately kept the third ability for himself, don't you understand?"
The former Phoenix smiled and said, "He will never give up the 'Shock Fruit' ability that I inherited from my father."
"What do you mean, isn't my Shashao Fruit powerful?" Ace joked, "It's also a natural type, so that guy doesn't like it?"
"..." Marco adjusted his glasses and just looked at him.
"Marco, I am the captain."
Ace had a smile on his face, but his expression was serious, "They are still behind me, how could I escape?"
I saw that behind Ace and Marco, there were many people from the Whitebeard Pirates, as well as many members of the pirates who were affiliated with the Whitebeard Pirates.
The captain of the sixth division, Bramank, the captain of the seventh division, Rakyo, the captain of the tenth division, Kuriel...
The ice witch Whitebey, the vortex spider Skuad, the knight Doma...and the giant demon Little Oz sitting at the foot of the mountain with his knees in his arms. Little Oz was holding his head and Ace made it up back then.
The man who gave him the bamboo hat buried his head in the shadow of the bamboo hat and said in a low voice: "A year ago, if I could have arrived at Marinefando in time, would my father's ending have been different? Ace...you guys said, a
Years ago, if I could have arrived in Malinfando in time, would my father's ending have been different? I really want to know..."
Everyone looked at little Oz, who had been autistic for almost a year, and everyone was silent. No one could solve his problem, unless the time could be turned back, unless his father was resurrected, otherwise this would be the knot that little Oz would have for the rest of his life.
Looking up at little Oz talking to himself, Scuyard clenched the knife, his face as pale as a ghost was expressionless, and said to himself: "I once betrayed my father, the reason why I live so shamelessly
Until now, just for today... The guy who betrayed dad will never live. I am like this, Teach, and so are you!"
"Let's go, brothers..."
Ace did not turn around, but just raised a clenched fist, with red flames burning on it.
He shouted: "Let's go and end it with Teach!"
"oh!!!"
The captains, the members of Whitebeard's fleet, clenched their fists and raised their hands together.
Marco took a deep breath, put on an indifferent smile, and followed Ace calmly, walking towards the mountains and coast on the other side where the dark clouds were moving.
…
"Thief hahahaha..."
Beyond the side of the mountains surrounding Sphinx Island, strong winds and raging waves surged offshore. On a huge pirate main ship, Marshall D. Teach, the great admiral of the Blackbeard Pirates, stepped on the bow of the ship.
Open your arms and laugh loudly.
"Ace, Marco, you can't escape now! Whether it's dad's inheritance or the earthquake fruit, it all belongs to me!!"
In front of them, in front of the mountains and canyons, Ace and Marco walked towards the seaside, fist bumped each other, and spread out a little in tacit agreement. One person looked to the left, the other to the right, and counted the main ship where Teach was.
The number of pirate ships in the surrounding area.
"One ship, two ships, three ships...how come there are only five pirate ships?"
Ace was very surprised.
Marco moved his hands and said with a slightly cold smile: "Marshall D. Teach, don't you have at least ten pirate ships and nine captains under your command? Isn't it too much to bring only half of them here?"
Do you look down on us old friends?"
Wow!
On the mountain behind the two of them, a black mass of white pirates jumped out over the mountains and ridges like a tide.
Little Oz climbed over the mountains and looked coldly at the five pirate ships on the coast that aimed their black cannon barrels in the direction of the island. On each ship, there were three skulls floating in the air.
black pirate flag.
"Hahaha!"
Teach laughed wildly and said, "Captain Ace! Marco! How long have we been on the same boat, how could I look down on you? Hey, Sand Crocodile, let the other five ships come back from the other side of the island! Since Captain Ace and
Captain Marco is here, so there’s no need to worry about them escaping!”
The captain of the Blackbeard Pirates' No. 3 ship, the former king of the Shichibukai, "Sand Crocodile" Crocodile, wearing a large cloak, biting a cigar, said unhappily: "Don't order me! I just don't have the right one yet."
It’s just an opportunity to leave!”
In this time and space, because Luffy has mastered Haki, his overall strength has become stronger under the education of Tulip's love. He has not been defeated by Crocodile several times in a row like in the comics, and the same is true for Zoro and others. Also.
Because of this, Crocodile did not have the opportunity to see how far Straw Hat and his friends would go to help each other regardless of their lives... Therefore, Crocodile's character did not change in the comics.
Such a transformation.
Crocodile is still the indifferent sand crocodile, and his arrogance is still there.
Blackbeard has only one requirement for his subordinates, and that is to obey orders. Most of the time, he is basically free-spirited, and it doesn't matter how lawless his subordinates are. On the contrary, because of this, Crocodile has never been able to find a suitable excuse to leave the Blackbeard Pirates——
After all, he wants face.
"Xiliu, Fan Kao... Ace and Marco have all appeared on our side, please come closer."
While Crocodile sent a message to the phone bug, Teach on the main ship also waved his hand. Amidst the wild laughter, the five pirate ships fired their cannons. In bursts of fire, countless cannonballs flew towards Ace and others.
.
"Is this just a greeting?" Ace asked, "Marco."
boom!
Marco clenched his fist and unleashed the force of the earthquake.
Click!
The invisible shock wave shattered the oncoming cannonballs one after another...
