"You say,"

Marko's expression gradually cooled, "What? ”

"A few months ago!"

Morrick said lightly, "The fire dragon found me, yes, I knew him before, it was he who gave me the desire to chase my dreams, I adore him, he is indeed a great guy, even now, I think,"

Morrick looked at the unmoved Whitebeard, and without hesitation, replied,

"He's the man with the best chance of becoming One Piece!"

"Go on, Morrick,"

Marco said in a deep voice, "Go on! ”

"The fire dragon found me wanting me to do him a favor, I didn't refuse, he let me infiltrate the Whitebeard Pirates,"

Morrick didn't mean to hide it, "Let me be his undercover agent!" ”

"So, is that fire dragon targeting our Whitebeard Pirates?"

Bista answered, "Inevitably, too arrogant! ”

"I don't know if the fire dragon is hostile to the Whitebeard Pirates, he asked me to join for only one purpose, which is to help him wait for a fruit to appear! He wasn't interested in the rest of the Whitebeard Pirates, and I don't know what the man thought,"

Morrick said so.

"Dark Fruit?"

Marco frowned.

"I don't know how he knew, anyway, the Dark Fruit just appeared!"

Of course, these people didn't know that Vlad had read the script beforehand, and such a situation was already weird for them.

"Then,"

"As agreed, I told the dragon about it, and then, just before the dragon arrived, Titch attacked Captain Thatch, and just when Titch thought he had got it, the dragon appeared!" ”

"He defeated Tichy, and both the Dark Fruit and Tiqi himself have been taken by him!"

"Whew-"

Morick breathed a sigh of relief, "That's all I know!" ”

“……”

Silence, silence is now the Moby Dick.

"What an interesting little ghost! Kulalala,"

Finally, Whitebeard spoke, "Is it called Vlad the Fire Dragon?" ”

"Fire Dragon!!"

Of course, Ace will not forget that man, the guy he met in the Chambord Islands more than two years ago, and the guy who had already felt that this guy was definitely not a simple guy when he met for the first time.

"Was Titch taken by him? Thatch's relic, the Dark Fruit, was also in the hands of that guy? ”

"Yes!"

Morrick nodded slightly, not denying it.

"Why did you want to come back? Morrick, answer me,"

Marco walked up to Morrick's side and asked in a somewhat unfriendly tone, "Why do you want to come back here when you've already completed your agreement with the fire dragon?" ”

"Why? Why? If I have to say why—"

Morrick said, "It's because I've fulfilled my agreement with the fire dragon, and I'm just a member of the Whitebeard Pirates now, and I think that because I did something to betray my family, what I should do is to come back here and accept my father and accept the judgment of my family." ”

Morrick's tone was sincere, and he wasn't lying.

"-You !! you"

Marco was silent, and then looked very hesitant, "Are you coming back to find death?" ”

"Now that you've made your decision, you have to bear the consequences of your decision,"

Morrick smiled, "I'm a man too, after all. ”

“……”

"Daddy—"

After a moment of silence, Marco turned his head and looked at the majestic man, who had to decide what the outcome would be.

"Today is such a sad day, my beloved son lost his life because of an insignificant thing that was taken from him by a stupid guy,"

Whitebeard's expression was a little sad, he was seventy-two years old, he had been on the sea for half a century, and even a man like him, who was accustomed to seeing life and death, would still feel sad after encountering something like today.

"Even if others are calling me a monster, however, the fact that I can't change is that I'm already just an old man, no one has been able to beat time, I've lost a son, so,"

Whitebeard said, "Today, don't let me lose my second son!" ”

“……”

"Tick!"

Why do people cry? Is it because you are moved? Is it because of the pain? Is it because of joy? Is it because of sadness? No one knows, but one thing is at least clear, and that is that the circumstances that make a man like Morrick cry may have really touched his heart.

Large tears fell on the deck, and the man named Morrick blurred his vision with tears, "Daddy-me, me,"

"Silly boy,"

Whitebeard's voice was very low, "Isn't it the responsibility of the father to forgive my sons for the wrong things they have done?" ”

"Daddy, everybody,"

For the first time, Morrick cried like a child, and slammed his head on the deck, "I, really, I'm sorry! ”

"Idiot,"

Whitebeard said, "What's wrong with a man practicing his promise to others!" ”

"That's right,"

Marco, the eldest son of this large family, said, "It's just the fire dragon who is despicable, and you, Morrick, you guy, you've done the best you can! ”

“……”

"Boom!"

Morrick suddenly fell on the deck and lost consciousness, his injuries were really serious, the wound in his chest from Titch would not heal on its own, it was not easy to survive until now, he finally lost consciousness, but the corners of his mouth were smiling.

"What's wrong?"

Startled, Marco walked over to Morrick's side and lowered his head to check on Morrick.

"This kid, the injury is too serious, can he still hold on for so long?"

"Ship doctor, come and treat this kid!"

The beautiful ship doctor ladies and sisters unique to the Whitebeard Pirates skillfully walked over and carried Morrick away to treat the man.

"Daddy, Thatch's thing—"

Marco looked a little hesitant.

"Let's have a funeral for Thatch first!"

Whitebeard looked at the man who was lying motionless on the deck with some emotion, knowing that Thatch, who was always active and loved by everyone, was really gone.

"Good!"

Marco nodded.

"Daddy, is that all?"

Marco can understand does not mean that Ace can understand, the man said very resentfully, "Is That's all there is to it?" ”

"Ace, what do you want to say?"

Marco spoke.

"I'm going to find that fire dragon guy!"

Ace said, "Titch is my subordinate, I'm going to bring him back, Thatch is my best brother, I can't just see the fire dragon get his hands on his dark fruit, I'll take revenge for his revenge, and I'll get his relics back!" ”

"What? Ace! ”

Marco jerked his head back, "You're going to find that fire dragon guy, huh?" ”

"Yes!"

Ace nodded.

"Why do you have such an idea?"

Marco said, "Ace, Tiki may have been killed by the fire dragon, and the Dark Fruit was eaten by someone, what's the point of you going?" Do you want to seek revenge on the fire dragon? ”

"It's true that this guy stole Thatch's relics and even put an undercover agent on our ship, but in another sense, he also avenged Thatch! It's kind to us, and it's a bit far-fetched to try to identify him as an enemy! ”

"But, Marco,"

Ace said this very seriously,

"Could it be that Thatch was killed and we didn't do anything?"

"Titch is my subordinate, and the Dark Fruit is a relic of Thatch,"

"I've got to do something for Thatch!!"
