The pirates from the White Beard Pirates cursed angrily after hearing Widebay's words. They all had the same thoughts as Widebay, and they all felt that Gu Xuan was evading them. Only a few of them frowned and fell into deep thought.
The focus of the crowd was naturally White Beard, the leader of the four emperors. He was as tall as a little giant and had an extremely huge body. The most eye-catching thing was the white beard on his face that was curved upward in the shape of a crescent moon. This was also the reason why he was called White Beard.
"He said he only drugged Saatchi and didn't kill him?" White Beard asked. He even said that the murderer was someone else, someone from the pirates?”
"Yes, Father, that's what he said," Widebay said.”
"Marko, what do you think?" White Beard looked at Marko and asked.
Marko, with his golden punk hair, slowly said,"Putting Saatchi's death aside, from the years I've spent with Gu Xuan, although he seems to be hiding something, he doesn't seem like a wicked person. If he killed Saatchi, why would he deny it? There's no need for that at all."
"Perhaps he said that because he was afraid of being hunted by us.”A pirate could not help but say loudly.
" That makes sense," Marko said." But it doesn't make sense either. If he's afraid of being hunted down, why would he take such a big risk to snatch a Demon Fruit?" Judging from his bold behavior, he probably won't refute the fact that he killed someone. Anyway, whether he killed someone or not, he violated the rules of our ship.”
"Maybe he thought that if he denied killing Saatchi, his father might forgive him," said the captain of the third team, Joz.”
Marko immediately shook his head and said," That guy is very smart. How could he believe that? Indeed, I also think that he killed Saatchi. Now, we are just analyzing the motive. If he only wanted the Devil's Fruit, there is no need for him to kill people. However, it doesn't make sense that he doesn't admit to killing people.”
"Whether it's reasonable or not, he must have killed Saatchi. We must avenge Saatchi.”
The captain of the Whirlpool Spider Pirates, Schuyard, roared angrily. He often drank with Saatchi, so he wanted to avenge him.
"Schuyad is right. We must avenge Captain Saatchi and kill that ungrateful bastard, Gu Xuan.”
The pirates were furious. They only believed what they saw, and what they saw was Saatchi's miserable death. At that time, other than Gu Xuan, no one else had any motive. Gu Xuan's escape proved this point.
White Beard raised his hand, and the noise slowly disappeared. Everyone looked at him.
"Where are Ace and Teach?"
Instead of asking Gu Xuan, he asked Ace and Teach, which confused the other pirates.
"Ever since they discovered Gu Xuan a few days ago, Ace and Ditch joined forces to hunt him down. They haven't returned yet, nor have they sent any news back."”
"Send someone to pass on my order to them and tell them to come back immediately," said White Beard.”
"Father, the two of them are currently chasing after Gu Xuan. If we let them come back at this time, wouldn't they be chasing after Gu Xuan?”
Everyone was puzzled by White Beard's order. The reason why Ace and the others went after Gu Xuan was because Gu Xuan had done that kind of thing right under their noses, killing Saatchi. That was why they were desperate to capture Gu Xuan.
"Saatchi's revenge needs to be taken, but not now, and not by Ace and the others," said White Beard. That little bastard Gu Xuan is no longer the same as before. It won't be so easy to capture him. I have a bad feeling about this.”
Marko understood what White Beard meant and said,""Dad, are you worried that Ace and the others won't be able to catch Gu Xuan and will instead be hurt by him?”
"Gu Xuan, that kid, is very extraordinary. I've lived for so many years, but I've never seen anyone who works harder than him."”
These words attracted the high approval of the White Beard Pirates. Gu Xuan's crazy cultivation speed on their ship shocked them. This was also one of the reasons why Gu Xuan was able to stand out among the many pirates and attract special attention.
Marko said," Father's worries are right. Everyone can see how hardworking Gu Xuan is. It's just that in the past, he was restricted by his body's innate talent, so his achievements were limited. However, now that he has obtained the Devil Fruit of the Nature Element, his shortcomings have disappeared, and his strength has increased by leaps and bounds. This can be seen from the fact that he was able to easily defeat Wydibei. In the past, he wasn't a match for Wydibei, but in just a little over a month, he was able to easily defeat Wydibei.”
" Marko, I admit that Gu Xuan's strength has increased after eating the Devil's Fruit, but no matter how powerful he is, he's definitely not a match for Ace," said Schuyad." Ace is the pirate of the younger generation that my father thinks the most highly of. He's the strongest, and he also has the Nature Element. Gu Xuan is definitely not his match."”
"Schuyard is right. Ace is the strongest Nature Element. Back then, he even dared to challenge you, father. He has improved so much in the past two years.”
"Yeah, and Ace is with Tiki. Although Tiki can't compare to Ace, he's still very strong. With the two of them together, as long as they encounter Gu Xuan, they'll definitely be able to capture him.”
"Ace is the person who wants to capture Gu Xuan the most because he had the best relationship with Gu Xuan and the killed Captain Saatchi. Now that one has been killed and the other has escaped, he said before that he would not return until he captured Gu Xuan.”
The surrounding pirates were all discussing animatedly. Ace and the others were the first to find out that Saatchi had been killed. They then went after Gu Xuan in anger and swore to bring Gu Xuan back. Marshall D. Teach was also with him.
"Dad, what do you think we should do?" Marko asked White Beard.”
"Continue to send people to look for Gu Xuan, and find Ace and Teach as soon as possible. Tell them to come back."”
"Father, but they're back. Who's going to capture Gu Xuan?”Someone asked doubtfully.
"That's right. That brat Gu Xuan was able to hide for such a long time without being discovered by us. He's a cautious person. It wasn't easy to find his traces, so we definitely can't let him go so easily.”
All the pirates present were eager to capture Gu Xuan and avenge Saatchi, but White Beard's order confused them. However, White Beard was the person they respected the most, so even if they were confused, they would not refute him.
Listening to everyone's discussion, White Beard waved his hand and let everyone leave. He only brought Marko back to his room.
