Chapter Thirty-Eight: Gambling
Whitebeard didn't react to Sakasky's words that tried to disturb his mind, still dealing with the siege of the navy, and from time to time he released some long-range vibrations in mid-air at the ruins of the execution table, and unlike after Sigg and the others just disappeared, he no longer attacked around like a brainless fly, but always aimed at one position.

And the reason for this is due to his sudden weakening.
As mentioned earlier, what he signed with Sieg is not an equal contract, but a 'lease', although the form is different, but in fact he also has the ability to perceive whether Sieg is still alive, and he knows the rules of 'lending', and he also thought of completing the lease in advance, so that Sieg has a greater possibility of bringing Ace back alive.
At the time, he was at war with Karp, and the early termination of his loan would make him much weaker, and I am afraid that even himself and everyone else would get into it, and the gains outweighed the losses.
But after all, he is a person who can occupy a world, and in the interval between the fights, just a few words made Karp, who had always been a little absent-minded, turn his gun:
"If you don't save Ace when you see death, do you even have to bury your grandson with your own hands now?"
"You don't think that they disappeared this time, they left on their own or were imprisoned by the navy, right?"
"If you don't believe me, you can go and ask, anyway, I won't be able to escape for a while, will you......"
Of course, Whitebeard knew that a large part of the reason why Karp would leave was actually because he returned the 'loan' while saying these few words, and his strength and aura had dropped significantly, and this was a big gamble with his own life.
Needless to say, what would happen if Karp hadn't been moved by a few words from him, as long as Karp left a little late, he could easily be taken down.
But he still won the bet, just as Sengoku knew his style of acting, and after decades of being an opponent, he also knew Karp's character, although he also attached great importance to the justice of the navy, but in Karp's heart, the weight of feelings and naval beliefs was actually similar.
If an Ace just makes Karp hesitate, plus Luffy, it can completely overwhelm the balance in Karp's heart, and he Whitebeard took the initiative to weaken his own strength, and has been helping to find Ace and Luffy, which is equivalent to giving Karp a reason to stop, and giving him an excuse not to arrest Whitebeard immediately, so it caused Karp to turn his head to find Bruno to ask Luffy and Ace where they were, and let him attack that space.
It can even be said that Karp's actions were entirely in his calculations.
However, he calculated people's hearts, but he could not predict the direction of development.
Just after he returned Sig's 'loan' ability, he found that the group of abilities had not returned to Sig's side, but had been hovering in mid-air at the ruins of the execution table!
It can be said that his series of plans have completely failed, and if it weren't for Karp's disheartened departure after that, he would probably have buried his pirate group with his own hands.
Even so, at this time, his strength was even weaker than before he had obtained the 'Lend-Lease' ability, and he gradually felt that he was overwhelmed by the siege of Sakasky and the lieutenant generals, and he still kept bombarding that space, just doing his best to obey the destiny of heaven.
β¦β¦
In fact, this result was not only unexpected by Whitebeard, but also by Sieg, who was about to approach the real space, he had always thought that Whitebeard had not returned the 'loan' ability in advance, because he knew the reason why Whitebeard needed to fight Karp, and he could also understand the other party's choice, and never thought about whether the two were not in the same space, and whether the ability could reach him.
He was still taking the opportunity to ask 'it' some questions that he had never been able to answer, because he had discovered that 'it' never refused to answer any of his questions, and it never seemed to lie, and most importantly, asking 'it' questions was not like asking 'it' to help, so he naturally had no reason not to ask:
ββ¦β¦ It turns out that the reason why I don't need to breathe in this space is also because of the benefits brought by the status of a traverser...... By the way, since you know the concept of a time-traveler, do you know why I became a time-traveler? β
[I don't know]
Sig was stunned, this is also the reason why he thinks that 'it' shouldn't lie, what he doesn't know, 'it' never says a word, just a dry sentence I don't know after all, it's very blunt, if you don't know the other party's language habits, I'm afraid I think the other party is angry, but after all, Sig is used to 'it' style, and then asked:
"Since you value the traverser so much, is it okay to exchange my identity as a traverser for your shot?"
This is not the first time he has looked for conditions that can make 'it' move, if it were a normal person, I'm afraid he would have been annoyed by Sieg, but the information that 'it' came into his mind did not fluctuate.
γYesγ
Sigurge is happy, the closer he gets to the real world, the more he feels that the other party's unconditional move is wrong, although losing the identity of the traverser may give him no chance to go back to the hunter world, but at this time he can't care so much, his hunch tells him that if he returns to the real world like this, I'm afraid there will be things he doesn't want to see.
[However, I don't know how to deprive you of your status as a traverser, so this deal can't be established.] γ
Sig: "......"
Just as Sieg pondered what he could do, he suddenly felt 'it' stop, and although there was no reference to speak of, his hunch told him that they did stop at this point.
And then, a little point of light appeared in front of them also confirmed that his hunch was not wrong, and through that tiny point of light, it was clearly clear that it was the square of Malinfodo outside.
At the same time that the point of light appeared in front of Sigurd, a black dot of the same size appeared in the air at the same time, but if someone looked through this point to the center, they would not see anything.
However, just after this black dot appeared, the mass of abilities that had been returned by Whitebeard but had been hovering in mid-air sensed Sig's existence, and instantly flew in from the black dot and returned to Sig's body.
And Whitebeard, who has been paying attention to this ability, is naturally the first person to discover the existence of black spots, and even he can't help but show a hint of joy.
However, this glimmer of joy did not last long before it was replaced by pain and blood from the corners of his mouth - and at the moment when he lost his mind at the appearance of the black spot, Sakasky, who was besieging him, immediately seized the opportunity and pierced Whitebeard's chest with the 'Greyhound', if he hadn't dodged a little by instinct, this punch should have pierced his heart.
And this is the first scene that Sieg sees from the point of light.
