At night, Whitebeard territory.
After so many years of development, the Whitebeard Pirates have recovered from the heavy losses and are even stronger!
Not only do they have 16 Division captains, but their ships have expanded to 50!
The second ship division captain is still Ace.
Yes, Ace has joined the Whitebeard Pirates!
I don't know if it's because of his strength, Whitebeard's strong personality, or the father and son fate destined by God.
After escaping the pursuit of the Beasts Pirates, Ace met the Whitebeard Pirates.
It didn't take long for him to officially become one of them, and soon after, he became the second division commander.
Perhaps it's because the Beasts Pirates, the giant mountain pressing down on the New World, taught the Whitebeard Pirates the importance of strength!
Even though Whitebeard is already very powerful, there are instances when he cannot handle the beast's Pirates and Marines, and they become a burden to him!
Without Whitebeard's suppression, they would not have been able to resist the crazy, ambitious people!
"Get stronger! We can't drag down Pops anymore! We can't let anyone underestimate the Whitebeard Pirates!"
This belief is firmly established in the hearts of all members of the Whitebeard Pirates!
After so many years of practice and tempering, not only have they been transformed, but they have also gained a lot of improvement.
Compared with the Whitebeard Pirates in the manga, the overall strength of the Whitebeard Pirates has now made a qualitative leap!
(A/N: I believe that any proud man from the sea will grow after experiencing failure!)
(A/N: Because of Kaishu, the Whitebeard Pirates experienced a disastrous defeat earlier and grew up earlier!)
(A/N: After all, their proud father, together with Roger and Redfield, were defeated by Kaishu, and later, they were almost ambushed and destroyed by Marine. After this experience, coupled with the pressure of the Beasts Pirates for so many years, It's unjustifiable if they don't work hard to improve their strength.)
"Just because you want to challenge Pops, go to hell!"
The huge blade cut a provocative pirate ship into two pieces.
Thatch stood up on the deck and watched the pirate ship in front of him slowly sink.
"Captain, what do you think this is?" A crew member presented the salvaged treasure chest he found.
"Let me see..." Thatch took it curiously. After opening it, he saw a Devil Fruit that looked like a pineapple and had a mysterious spiral pattern like a snail.
"This is... Devil Fruit!"
"Captain, we are so lucky; we actually got a Devil Fruit!"
"Hahaha…"
"I don't know what kind of Devil Fruit it is. Pops is very knowledgeable. Go back and let Pops take a look!"
Thatch was also very happy to get a Devil Fruit.
This is a rare treasure. Even the cheapest Devil Fruit is worth 100 million Belly, and it is still a priceless item in the market!
"Brothers, we are back from the voyage!"
"oh!!"
When they returned to the Moby Dick, it was already sunset.
"Thatch, you move pretty fast!" Ace, who was shirtless, greeted them with a smile.
"It's just a small pirate group, but there is surprising gain this time."
Thatch smiled and waved his hands, then he said mysteriously, with an expression that seemed to be showing off.
"Hahahahaha, what harvest is it, Thatch? Is it a beautiful woman?"
Teach, who had a scruffy beard, said with a bold smile.
"It's more precious than a woman! Look, what is it!" Thatch proudly took out the trophy.
"Oh? It's actually Devil Fruit; what kind of Devil Fruit is it?"
Ace asked in surprise. He already had the Flame-Flame Fruit.
So, he was not envious but just happy and curious about what Thatch was holding.
But none of them noticed that Teach on the side had a look of shock on his face; his eyes were ecstatic and full of greed.
"It finally showed up!!"
"It's right in front of me!"
Teach's fanatical eyes gradually turned into murderous intent, and he looked at Thatch with an intriguing grin.
"I don't know either, I'm going to let Pops take a look." Thatch smiled and talked to Ace, but no one noticed Teach's change of expression and mood.
The next day, Moby Dick drifted quietly on the sea.
"Get out of the way, I have to go after that bastard!"
"Ace, don't be impulsive."
"Ace, Teach is not that simple; don't be reckless!"
On the deck, Whitebeard looked even older, with intravenous tubes hanging from his body.
At this moment, his eyes were full of anger and sadness while a hint of loneliness flash occasionally on his face.
A group of crew members tightly held Ace, who was completely angry.
Although they were sad, they still stopped Ace's actions.
Because they knew that since Teach could kill Thatch and run away, he must have hidden his real strength over the years!
You know, Teach and Marco almost spent the same time on Moby Dick; they can be regarded as veteran crew members of the Whitebeard Pirates.
Although Teach is not the captain, no one has ever doubted his strength.
Now, he can even kill Thatch, a division captain; it's obvious that he's been hiding his strength for a long time.
"Ace, forget it this time, I have a bad feeling..."
Whitebeard suppressed his anger and said in a low voice.
"How can we forget it? That bastard killed his family and actually brought shame to you. I will never forgive him!"
Ace roared angrily; he recognized and respected Whitebeard from the bottom of his heart.
After saying that, Ace jumped into the air and landed on his skateboard.
Then flames erupted from the back of the skateboard, and he quickly disappeared from everyone's sight.
"Ace, come back!"
"Pops, I'm going to bring Ace back."
"Forget it, Marco, let him go! Teach really can't be forgiven!"
A few days later, Marshall D. Teach from the Whitebeard Pirates killed Thatch, the fourth division captain, and escaped to the sea!
The news that the captain of the second division, Fire Fist Ace, is chasing him has spread throughout the sea!
No one expected that something like this would happen to the Whitebeard Pirates!
You know, apart from their strength, the most famous thing about the Whitebeard Pirates is their unity!
Never harm their companions! This is the first iron rule of the Whitebeard Pirates!
However, someone actually broke this iron rule, and it's also their own companions!
This makes everyone in the sea watch Whitebeard's joke and wait for the next development!
Can the Whitebeard Pirates eradicate this betrayer
Of course, Kaishu also received information about the Whitebeard Pirates, and he certainly knew better what happened.
"Blackbeard, is he about to be born?" Kaishu thought while squinting his eyes as he sat on the throne.
"I just don't know where else he can go to recruit crew members!"
Impel down was captured by his son, and the prisoners inside were either conquered or killed.
Or maybe some were lucky enough to escape to the sea.
It is not easy to recruit a strong crew in a short period of time.
According to Teach's plan in the manga, he wanted to get Whitebeard's Devil Fruit and knock the Whitebeard Pirates down from their position as the emperor of the sea.
How could a man with such strong ambitions be willing to develop quietly?
"It's so interesting!!"
"However, Komei's management talent pool is almost complete.
"It's almost time..."
"To bathe this sea with a mountain of a corpse!"
