In the New World, around a small island not too far away from the waters of Totland, dozens of pirate ships with Whitebeard's skull and crossbones flags were parked densely.
On an island not far from the ship's anchorage, on a hillside covered with flowers, there was a man with the Whitebeard Pirates tattooed on his back, an orange cowboy hat on his head, and a red ribbon hanging around his neck. The man wearing a bead necklace and a pair of shorts was lying sprawled among the flowers and reading a newspaper.
The slightly drunken sea breeze blows the petals and makes the sea of flowers dance gracefully. This scene looks particularly warm...
"Hello!"
"Ace?"
"You are so laid-back..."
However, this calm was soon interrupted.
Because, at this time, a guy with a golden punk hair, a dagger on his waist, and a black tattoo of the Whitebeard Pirates on his chest came here, and called out to the guy who was lying in the flowers and watching. newspaper with man's name.
"ah!"
"Margao, are you here?"
"Look!"
"That little girl seems to have done a good job. She has already conquered thirteen islands of all nations and captured a total of eleven ministers. The big mom pirate group seems to have completely failed to react and has no ability to resist until now. Woolen cloth!"
Seeing the person coming, Ace sat up excitedly, then waved the newspaper he just received and said.
Yes, this man is Ace, Fire Fist Portcas D. Ace, the sworn brother of Sabo and Monkey D. Luffy, and now the captain and head of the Whitebeard Pirates!
"Yeah?"
"However, I think it was the big mom who was showing weakness on purpose."
Shaking his head, Margao, the captain of the first division of the Whitebeard Pirates and ship doctor with the golden punk hair, said calmly.
"as far as I know……"
"She has now united with 'Hundred Beasts' Kaido. The latest news from Wano Country shows that the Beast Pirates have begun to mobilize, and many ships are sailing towards the direction of all nations. I guess …”
"The final battle should be near Cake Island!"
"According to the current naughty kid's offensive, it will only take a month at most before the decisive battle begins."
Malgao, who stood in front of Ace with his arms folded, quietly began to express his analysis.
"Ha ha!"
"You're right. It's about the same as I estimated. I thought the same thing as you. It's probably about a month?"
"It seems that we have to prepare quickly. How are the supplies, combatants and materials prepared?"
"No big problem, right?"
Grinning, Ace suddenly asked Margao with a straight face.
"A little!"
"As you know, we just went to war for the top of the mountain not long ago, and we lost a lot of money, food and materials. Now we have to go on another expedition, which is really worrying."
"But those are minor issues!"
"What I'm more worried about now is actually something else..."
As he spoke, Margao gradually frowned, and then his face became slightly unsightly.
"??"
Ace seemed to see something was wrong with his partner, so he gradually stopped smiling, and quickly stood up and gestured towards Margao with his eyes.
"well……"
"Ace!"
"Although I also know that we are about to go on an expedition, but the situation in our own territory now seems a bit not optimistic!"
I didn't want to say it at first, but seeing Ace's determined look, Margao had to sigh and say it.
"What's wrong?"
"ah!"
"Isn't it that little Weibull who is causing trouble again?"
"Is he really here again?"
Ace suddenly realized what the trouble was, and then he quickly guessed and asked.
"Yes!"
"Although we have been deliberately avoiding him, he still pursues us closely and has been attacked by him in many places..."
"We lost another island yesterday."
Having said this, 'Phoenix' Margao couldn't help but sigh.
Not long after the War on the Top ended, and while he was dying of a serious illness, their white-bearded father ordered Ace to take over the responsibility of managing this large family. To this, Margao and others not only did not express any objection, but even They also expressed their support for that decision.
After all, Ace's popularity in this big family is very good. Otherwise, during the war, there wouldn't be so many people who responded to their father's call and risked their lives to rescue him.
Margao, the ship's doctor, still remembers that after returning from Marinefando, his father's health deteriorated day by day. Finally, when his father tried to discuss with Margao, the captain of the first division, whether to let Ace inherit, The first captain, who did not have the title of deputy captain, but was actually the deputy captain, nodded in agreement on the spot.
Of course he knew what his father meant at that time, and he also knew that Ace was the best candidate.
Because Ace is the most popular in this big family, he can effectively unite all the captains and captains after his father's death. At the same time, his identity is enough to shoulder the important task of leading and reorganizing the Whitebeard Pirates.
Ace is the only son of the former Pirate King Gol D. Roger. He is favored by his father. He is also a 'repeat' that the Navy and the World Government have announced to the world. In addition, he finally successfully escaped from the Navy Headquarters Marinefando. He escaped from a public execution. Now he needs to be famous, popular, powerful, and have first-class status and background. There is simply no one more suitable than Ace.
But what can be done...
But at this moment, an Edward Weibull who claimed to be 'Whitebeard II' suddenly appeared. He claimed to be the biological son of Whitebeard's father and wanted to inherit the legacy left by Whitebeard's father?
That situation couldn't help but make the position of these 'old people' who had just accepted their father's legacy and expressed their firm support for Ace's succession suddenly become awkward.
Of course, the most embarrassing thing for them was: they investigated the identity of Edward Weibull and found that he seemed to be the biological son of Whitebeard. Not only was he very powerful, but he also looked very similar to his father when he was young. If the image, especially the iconic white beard, is not hereditary, Margao himself might be the first one not to believe it!
But there is no way. Letting Ace inherit that position is not only dad's last wish, but also everyone's unanimous choice. As for Edward Weeble, his identity makes them a little afraid and embarrassed. As for everything else, then There really isn’t much sense of identity.
However, it was precisely that identity that made them feel aggrieved for a while, and they had to give in at every turn, allowing the other party to occupy a lot of territory, which made them 'old people' hateful and annoyed, but they were helpless.
No matter what the other party said, he was still the biological son of their white-bearded father. They couldn't just go and kill their father's biological son when his corpse was still cold, right?
As a result, that thorny and troublesome matter was delayed again and again, and no one could come up with a reliable solution.
"It's really him..."
"pity!"
"Not long ago, he just accepted the Navy's recruitment to replace the position of the King Shichibukai vacated by the expelled Donquixote Doflamingo and Boya Hancock. Otherwise, when the war is over, Finally, I really wanted to just give up my seat to him."
"only……"
"It's a pity that he has become an accomplice of the navy at this time. For this reason, everyone will probably not pay attention to him anymore."
After hearing that it was really about Little Weibull, Ace sighed in frustration.
But there was no point in being depressed. Now it was no longer a question of whether Ace wanted to give up his position, but that it was absolutely impossible for the other party to peacefully accept the legacy left by his father. That choice had become impossible!
Even if Ace is really willing to give in, once he makes that decision, the old men in the Whitebeard Pirates and the captains of the subordinate pirates who are still together will have to fall apart in an instant and go their separate ways. !
That kind of thing is something Ace absolutely doesn't want to see, and it's also something their respected father Whitebeard doesn't want to see even more.
"That's right!"
"From the moment he became King Shichibukai, volunteered to be a thug in the navy and attacked us, our big family has no room for his idiot."
"perhaps……"
"Is this the main reason why Dad never wants to mention that he has a son, and even when he is dying, he still wants you to inherit him?"
Shaking his head, Margao also agreed with Ace's words and sighed in confusion.
"And that black beard!"
"That traitor Tiqi, he has taken the opportunity to occupy a lot of our territory recently. If it weren't for the fact that we were in a hurry to go to Ten Thousand Kingdoms, we would never have spared him!"
Then Margao talked about Blackbeard again and gritted his teeth with hatred.
But there is no point in hating!
That Teach, the traitor who was originally a member of the Whitebeard Pirates, knew their territory and layout very well, and was very cunning. He never confronted them head-on, so that, taking advantage of this turbulent period, he took advantage of them. When they mobilized their main forces to prepare for the war, they shamelessly occupied many sea areas and islands that originally belonged to the Whitebeard Pirates, which made them angry but helpless.
If it had been in the past, they would have gathered their partners to kill each other!
But not now!
Because of various priorities, such as the need to concentrate their efforts to support the naughty children, the need to deal with the increasing pressure of 'Whitebeard II', and the need to clarify the various troubles discovered after the death of Whitebeard's father, etc., then As a result, they have no more energy to deal with other things for the time being.
"never mind!"
"We don't want those annoying guys anymore!"
"Look, the naughty kid has now invaded the hinterland of Wan Guo. We can't wait here any longer."
"If you don't go, it will probably be too late!"
With that said, Ace, who did not intend to dwell on the matter of 'Blackbeard' and 'Whitebeard II', reached out and handed the newspaper in his hand to Margao and said.
"..."
However, Margao did not pick up the newspaper because he had already read it before.
Therefore, he just looked at the majestic photo of the 'Naughty Child Golden Mothership' and the big portrait of the Naughty Child himself and kept silent and thinking.
"But……"
"Ace, are we going to join that naughty kid pirate group?"
After a long time, Margao finally asked with some hesitation.
Now that Ace has left the affairs in his own territory alone, and then gathered almost all his strength to find the naughty kid, this will make Margao more or less have some random thoughts, and he has to confirm it first.
"This doesn't count as joining, does it?"
"We're here to help!"
"No matter what, our Whitebeard Pirates and myself owe that little girl a huge favor, and we have to pay it back!"
"Otherwise!"
"The naughty kid is going to cause trouble for Kaido, why don't we go?"
"And if we go, we can temporarily avoid that guy Weibull. Anyway, we haven't made up our mind yet on how to deal with the biological son who claims to inherit father's inheritance, right?"
"After Kaido is dealt with, I believe that we will all think clearly by then."
Ace explained in a straightforward and carefree manner, and stated that they were only going to support and return favors this time, and did not really want to join the naughty kids.
"makes sense!"
After thinking about it, Margao reluctantly nodded.
"Then it's decided!"
"Margao, go and get everyone ready. We can't wait any longer and set off immediately!"
“To all nations!”
Seeing that Margao also agreed with his decision, Fire Fist Ace cheered, threw away the newspaper in his hand, and loudly stated his decision.
"All right……"
"But!"
"Problems of supplies..."
However, Margao still hesitated.
Of course, it's not that he doesn't want to help, but he feels that the supplies have not been allocated yet. If they go to sea rashly, once the war continues, the supply of their entire fleet will be a big problem. That kind of thing cannot be careless. .
"Go!"
"Don't worry about supplies!"
"I heard that that little girl is very rich. When the time comes, let's go directly to her golden ship and eat and drink from her!"
"You can still get her money after the fight!"
It can be seen that Ace is very optimistic and does not pay too much attention to the supply issues that Margao is worried about.
"All right!"
"Hopefully I can catch up."
Nodding, Margao no longer insisted.
"Definitely have to catch up!"
"Otherwise we won't be able to repay the favor we owe!"
"correct!"
"Go and see if Jozi and Bista have arrived?"
Suddenly, Ace asked about something else.
"Arrived early."
"Then prepare yourself and announce the decision later!"
After saying that, seeing that the plan had been decided, Margao waved his hands, then turned around and left the place with flowers in his trouser pockets.
