On the Moby Dick, the 16 leaders of the White Beard Pirates had gathered together.
However, this time, they were not here to hold a banquet, nor to celebrate their father's new son. Instead, they were here to do something unforgivable in the White Beard Pirates.
The captain of Division 4, Saatchi, was dead. He had been stabbed in the heart from behind by a man named Marshall D. Teach.
On the deck, everyone's expression was very heavy. Even a man like White Beard found it hard to believe this fact.
This was not their fault. Blackbeard had been in hiding in the White Beard Pirates for 20 years. He had always been a good person who did not seek fame or profit. There were very few people in the large pirate group who had a bad relationship with him.
Now, it was such a good old man who actually killed his companion for a Demon Fruit. Anyone would find it unbelievable.
Silence continued to spread among the crowd until a half-naked man with freckles on his face stood out.
"Dad, leave Tiki to me. I'll bring him back!”
As soon as he finished speaking, Ace picked up his luggage and was about to leave when the people around him quickly stopped him.
"Calm down, Ace. Dad said that this is a special case. You don't have to chase after him.”
"That guy is my subordinate. I don't care how Saatchi rests in peace.”
"Ace, Dad hasn't agreed yet. You can't leave the ship.”
"Let me go, Marko. Do you really want Saatchi to die for no reason?”
Just as the group of leaders were arguing, White Beard, who had been sitting there silently, finally spoke.
He looked at the vast sea and spoke in a low voice, like a lonely old man.
"Ace, forget it. Only this time, I have a very bad feeling.”
Ace was stunned for a moment. He turned to look at the white-bearded man who seemed to have aged a lot in an instant. The anger that had accumulated in his chest suddenly erupted.
"Dad, that guy killed his companion and escaped. You took care of him for decades, but he caused you to lose face. How can you let this go?”
As soon as he finished speaking, Ace pushed away the other captains who stopped him and jumped off the Mobydick without hesitation. He boarded the small boat that had been prepared long ago.
Just as Ace was about to activate his fruit ability to move the boat, he suddenly turned his head to look to the east.
Everyone on the deck of the Moby Dick looked in that direction at the same time, including White Beard.
There, a small boat that seemed to be forged from gold was slowly approaching along the current.
What was important was not the boat, but the man standing at the bow.
The man was not tall in their knowledge, less than two meters tall. He did not have any muscles on his body, and he looked like a noble who was out on a trip.
However, for some reason, from the moment they saw this man, everyone's eyes were firmly fixed on him, unable to move away.
People who had never seen or heard anything would not feel anything. They only felt that this man was very handsome, had a transcendent aura, and had a ridiculously strong presence.
However, those who had seen and heard were all sweating. Even White Beard, who was sitting there unmoving like a mountain, had a solemn expression on his face. His right hand held the long handle of the Cloud Cut.
It was because the man's aura was extremely terrifying.
It wasn't a terrifying feeling, but an indescribable feeling.
If one had to describe it, it would be holy.
That's right, holy, as if all things should kneel at his feet.
Under the influence of his aura, as the distance between them shortened, Jiang Chen became more and more imposing in everyone's eyes.
The 'weight' that felt like the entire world was pressing down on everyone's nerves, causing them to involuntarily pull out their swords.
Finally, under everyone's gaze, Jiang Chen arrived at the bottom of the Moby Dick.
He turned to look at Ace and said with a smile,"
"Young man, if you don't listen to the old man, you will suffer.”
To be honest, when Jiang Chen had seen Ace die, although he hadn't shed any tears, he had felt it was a pity.
However, when Jiang Chen entered society and became mature, and he recalled the plot, his impression of Ace changed drastically.
Jiang Chen didn't know what Ace was thinking at that time, but he was sure that those who had died to save him had died in vain.
That was why Jiang Chen reminded him out of kindness.
But Ace didn't feel Jiang Chen's kindness at all. Instead, he tensed up his muscles, as if he was going to subdue Jiang Chen at any moment.
"Who are you? Are you here to challenge dad too?"
"Challenge? Hahaha…"
"I don't have that kind of boring idea. I'm just here to see White Beard and ask for directions.”
Then Jiang Chen jumped onto the Moby Dick. He wasn't in the mood to talk to Ace.
Surrounded by the crowd on the deck, Jiang Chen fixed his eyes on the old man with tubes all over his body. He said calmly,"
"Looks like I came at the wrong time. I originally wanted to drink and chat with the famous White Beard, but I guess you're not in the mood now.”
Seeing that Jiang Chen didn't seem hostile, White Beard loosened his grip on the knife.
"Who are you? I should have heard of a man like you.”
"Me? I'm just a king."
"King? Stop joking. How can a man like you be the king?”
White Beard was stunned, and so was the captain on the deck.
In their minds, the king was either a fat pig who exploited the people or a schemer who played politics. How could someone like Jiang Chen be the king?
Jiang Chen shook his head in the face of the crowd's suspicion, but he didn't explain anything. There was no need to.
"Since we can't chat, can you guys help me point the way? It would be best if you could also use a few Eternal Compass.”
"For example, Aunty's kingdom, the current location of the Red-Haired Pirates, Dres Rosa, Chambord Islands, and so on.”
"What is your purpose?" Marko took two steps forward and asked warily.
Chat? Asking for directions?
Only a ghost would believe that.
Jiang Chen didn't answer. He didn't even want to pay attention to the captain of the White Beard Pirates. They were just a bunch of fledglings living under the protection of the eagle. It wasn't worth his time.
Seeing Jiang Chen ignore his son, veins popped up on White Beard's forehead. The infusion bottle hanging on his body was bubbling.
"Gulalalala…Arrogant brat!”
"Little brat? Newgate, according to your age, I should call you a kid.”
Jiang Chen didn't want to be outdone. In this world, no one could make him bow his head except his people.
Without any warning, the Conqueror's Color and the Faith Field were activated at the same time.
As the two auras collided, the atmosphere resonated and countless illusory lightning bolts shot out, forcing the others on the deck to retreat.
In a trance, the entire world seemed to be dyed in gold and red.
The people on White Beard's side were fine. His Conqueror's Color was mainly aimed at Jiang Chen, while the others only suffered the aftershock.
Jiang Chen's side was in a bad situation. The feeling of having a forced belief after being upgraded wasn't pleasant.
If it weren't for the fact that there weren't any weaklings among the people present, Jiang Chen might have had a few more fanatics.
