"Father, you don't want to capture Gu Xuan?"
Marko was also very confused. From White Beard's attitude, it was obvious that he did not want to capture Gu Xuan. This was very strange, because White Beard valued his family the most. Saatchi was killed, and it was his own child who had internal strife. He was definitely the one who suffered the most.
"This matter is very strange." The white-bearded man said with a serious expression,"Based on my understanding of that brat Gu Xuan, he's not the kind of person who would lay his hands on his brothers and sisters."”
Marko said," I think it's strange too, but all the evidence points to him. It's an indisputable fact that he stole Saatchi's Devil's Fruit. We can't dismiss our suspicions based on our past senses. It's also possible that he hid too deeply in the past and packaged himself too well.”
" That's also why I wanted to find Ace and the others," White Beard said." If Gu Xuan really hid too deeply, then with his shrewdness, Ace would definitely not be able to defeat him."”
"Dad, why don't I go?" Marko said.”
The white-bearded man thought for a moment and said," Alright, you go. It would be best if you can successfully bring Gu Xuan back. If he is unwilling, you can forcefully bring him back. I want to ask him face to face."”
He had established the pirate group for so many years, but there had never been a situation where his companions fought and killed each other. He absolutely could not tolerate it.
Gu Xuan noticed that the mission options on the system interface were flashing again. He thought that a new mission had appeared, so he immediately clicked on it.
"This is?"
In the next moment, his eyes widened in surprise. The mission options were flashing not because there was a new mission, but because the mission had changed. A row of explanations appeared under the first mission to establish a pirate group.
It turned out that the system actually had a mission prompt. A name appeared, and there was a label at the back. As long as he paid 500 Darkness Points, he would be able to know the exact location of this person.
"Raffet, isn't this guy the Devil Patrol Officer from the Blackbeard Pirates?。”
To Gu Xuan's surprise, the person the system had chosen was actually one of the more famous pirates in the original anime, the Blackbeard Pirates 'Devil Sheriff Raffet. This was one of Blackbeard's most capable assistants in the anime, and could be said to be the Blackbeard Pirates' brains.
However, he was more puzzled. Wasn't this person from the West Ocean? Why would he appear in the New World? But he soon remembered that Raffet was expelled from the West Ocean, so it was normal for him to come to the New World.
Although Raffet was notorious in One Piece, Gu Xuan did not mind. He was not a kind person himself, so why would he care about the good or bad of others? Putting everything aside, Raffet was a very good candidate. Not only did this guy have strength, but he also had the ability. Judging from his loyalty to Blackbeard in the anime, as long as he pledged his loyalty, he could still be trusted.
Now that he only had three months to set up the Pirates, he was not prepared to randomly find a few useless people. Therefore, he did not hesitate at all and spent the only 500 Dark Points he had to locate Raffet's location.
Gu Xuan felt that the system was really evil. He wondered if the system had seen that he had completed his first mission too easily, so it had asked for his only 500 Darkness Points at this time. With this, he had become a pauper again.
Raffet's position wasn't far from him, so he immediately went over as fast as he could.
"You've been following me all the way. Aren't you going to come out?”
Raffet stood at the corner of the wall, his walking stick spinning in his hand as he looked at the empty alley with a relaxed expression.
Gu Xuan walked in from the dark, about five to six meters away from Raffet. This distance was neither too far nor too close, and both parties had time to react. This was him expressing his stance.
"You discovered me, so you brought me here. Are you preparing to kill me?”
" I've never been polite to people who have ulterior motives," said Raffet." Since you dare to follow me, you must think you have some ability. Tell me, what do you want from me?"”
Although he had a bounty on his head, very few people would come looking for him for the bounty. However, he was sure that he had never seen the man in front of him before, so he was even more puzzled.
Gu Xuan went straight to the point." I want to form a pirate group, and I need a few strong partners. I think you're very suitable. How about it? Do you want to join my pirate group?"”
"Pirates?"
" Haha!" Raphael couldn't help but laugh." You came to me for no reason just to get me to join your pirate group? Do you know me?"
" Mr. Raffet, the notorious security officer of the former West Ocean, the 'Devil Sheriff,'" Gu Xuan said." Do you think I would casually invite you to join my pirate gang if I knew nothing about you? Not just any Tom, Dick, or Harry can join my pirate group.”
" You're really confident. That's not fair. You know me, but I don't know who you are. Do you mind introducing yourself?"”
Gu Xuan smiled and said," Although I'm not as powerful as you, I should still be considered quite famous in the New World. My name is Gu Xuan, and I was originally a member of the White Beard Pirates. I just rebelled not long ago."”
Raffet, who had not paid much attention to it, immediately changed his expression when he heard this. He looked at Gu Xuan in surprise and asked,"You're that Gu Xuan who betrayed the White Beard Pirates a month ago.”
"That's right." Gu Xuan nodded.
Raffet's expression became solemn as he said,""Previously, I heard that there was a daring fellow in the White Beard Pirates who killed the captain of the fourth division and betrayed the pirates. I didn't expect it to be you. You can even kill your companions. Now, you want me to be your companion.”
"I hope you can agree."”
"I…"
As Raffet spoke, he suddenly pulled out his knife and stabbed at Gu Xuan at an extremely fast speed, instantly closing the distance of five to six meters.
"Puchi!"
The sharp blade stabbed into Gu Xuan's body, but what surprised Raffet was that he didn't feel like he had pierced through a solid body. There was no blood flowing out from the spot where he had stabbed, but instead, there was a burst of black smoke.
"You are a natural ability user?”Raphael asked in surprise.
"Not only that," Gu Xuan said.
After saying that, he threw a punch, and the huge force knocked Raffet back. When he was about to attack again, Raffet had already retreated quickly and pulled away.
Raffet had also just entered the new world not long ago. Although he was not weak, he had yet to master the Armed Color Haki. When he saw that Gu Xuan had the Nature Element, he did not say anything and quickly used his ability. A pair of wings appeared on his back. With a flap, he was ready to fly away.
