[Chapter Title Serial: Three Kingdoms 8·『 It's so beautiful......]

[Followed by a team of nine snake warriors, the empress stepped on the land of Fish-Man Island without any expression, and in the windless waters of the island and its surroundings, countless fish-men and mermaid residents gathered, and there were exclamations of fascination one after another. The mermaid princess is also very beautiful, but she is pitifully beautiful, but this empress is so beautiful that she is almost domineering, which makes people have no recognition of resistance...... Hancock ignored Neptune, who had leaned over to shake hands, and walked up to Shirahoshi and looked up. ］

------------------------------

『New World, Sphinx——』

The island is named because it is inhabited by many sphinxes......

It is also the hometown where Whitebeard, who was once the strongest man in the world, was born.

The wind of the great voyage is blowing slowly.

Whew, whew, whew......

The shabby black pirate flag, constantly shaking in the wind.

White beard, skeletal smile.

It's not the new Whitebeard Pirates, but the pirate symbol that belongs to Whitebeard's father, along with this flag of the old era, tied to the handle of the knife is six meters long, and the supreme fast knife "Cong Yun Cut" that has been fighting with the old man for a lifetime.

It's exactly the height of the difference with Daddy Whitebeard himself.

The tattered pirate flag is the head, the supreme fast knife is the bone, and the shabby coat hanging on the knife is like his immortal body......

"Edward. Newgate (1450~1522)"

Looking at the line of words engraved by himself on the tombstone, Ace touched his specially grown beard and said to himself: "Every time I stand here, it's like seeing him again." ”

“……”

Looking up at the shabby coat that hung from the hilt of the knife and struck in the wind, Marco smiled, "Daddy has always been stingy, hasn't he?" He would drink from other people's drinks, and he never invited customers in the store. Everyone knows that every time he gets a treasure, he will secretly give it to the people of the village he built on this island......"

Edward. Newgate didn't know who his parents were for as long as he could remember, and most of his old friends were no longer alive. He has longed for his family all his life, so he regards this place as his hometown, and the people of this village as relatives who need his protection. The man who is known as the strongest in the world has spent his whole life trying to heal his childhood.

"This pirate coat, tattered ......"

Marco took off his glasses, pressed his eyes to hold back tears, and grinned, "He has been wearing it for more than ten years, and sometimes he would rather protect it with domineering than change it to a new one...... The hateful dad who always likes to worry about his son, we can't do anything about him! ”

～～～～～～～～～～

"Why are you on our ship?!"

At the same time, on this day, the Sonny, who was continuing to follow Ace's fragments of life paper and heading to Sphinx Island at full speed, suddenly heard the shouts of Usopp and Luffy.

"Huh?" Perona drank her drink, her head was full of question marks, and she exhaled, "What do you mean! What kind of Blackbeard are you going to deal with, isn't the old woman and the ugly aunt who killed Lord Moria there? Then of course I'm going to go along! Did you just notice me? It's so rude, isn't it?! ”

"Oh, I went for revenge." Luffy and Usopp nodded and exhaled, "That's fine." ”

"Why are you so rude to the lady! Darn! While lighting a cigarette, Sanji manipulated the golden frisbee to bring desserts, and was immediately annoyed when he heard this.

While Luffy and Usopp were playing with the treasure, they noticed that something seemed to be missing, and they looked left and right, and there was no Chopper with us!

"Chopper is adapting to the new Devil Fruit ability in the mirror world."

Nami, who had changed her clothes, walked out, and Robin with a ponytail tied up next to her.

Smack.

The navigator snapped his fingers twice in a row, attracting everyone's attention, and said, "I got some information from Sister Robin about this operation and our future sailing plans......

Sanji, who was attentive next to Perona, Sauron, who woke up from a dozing off on the deck, Frankie, who refilled his stomach with Coke, Brooke, who maintained the instrument, and others couldn't help but look at them.

"It's about...... How to find the final island and the key to becoming 'One Piece'! ”

Nami held up a finger and said solemnly, "You can't reach the true Final Island with the recording pointer!" The crux of the matter lies in the four 'road sign history texts' that record the final island coordinate data! Only by collecting these four pieces of history and deciphering the information recorded on them can we piece together the true location of the final island! ”

"......I see," Sauron muttered.

"No wonder!" Frankie smiled, "I'll just say, if the end of the route is the final island, then this final island should have been under the control of the world government a long time ago!" ”

"That's right." Sanji spat out his cigarette, "However, if you want to collect these four pieces of historical text, all you need is 'intelligence'......"

"The good news is that Sister Robin and Lynch already have information on the historical text of the two road signs."

Nami smiled and sighed again, "But the bad news is that we don't have a clue where the remaining two road signs are for the time being......

"Yo ho ho ho, the difficulty has been reduced by half, it's already very good!" Brooke smiled behind his back, "Since Miss Nami mentioned this to us at this time, I guess...... Miss Nami thinks that among the Whitebeard Pirates, Big Mom Pirates, and Blackbeard Pirates, there may be two other road signs in the history text, at least some information about their whereabouts. ”

"That's right." Nami smiled, "These sea thieves, after all these years, must not have done nothing, right?" ”

"One of our two pieces of road sign history text was obtained in the hands of my aunt back then." Robin said slowly, "Blackbeard is a traitor to the Whitebeard Pirates, and it has only been more than a year since the Blackbeard Pirates led by him were officially established, and it is relatively unlikely that he has mastered the historical text of the road signs. So I'm guessing...... He is so attached to the new Whitebeard Pirates and Whitebeard's homeland, perhaps because he knows what Whitebeard has in his hands. And for Blackbeard, who aspires to the throne of One Piece, the most attractive thing is most likely the 'Signpost Historical Text'......"

Everyone listened and nodded.

At this time, I found that it seemed that a certain guy was particularly quiet - Nami looked at Luffy who was looking at the sky with his legs crossed, as if he was distracted, and was directly speechless, "You are the one who wants to become the king of the pirates!" Why don't you listen carefully? ”

"If he listens to people, he won't be Luffy." Usopp sighed and held his forehead.

"Huh? What are you talking about? Luffy came back to his senses, turned his head to look around, and smiled sheepishly, "What about Lynch and Merry?" Listen to me...... I just thought of a fun way to make a debut! ”

Is such a guy really a captain?

With tea and dessert in her mouth, Perona was dizzy, and sighed to Zoro and the others: "You guys are really hard. ”

～～～～～～～～～～

"No news from Joz yet?"

"Nope. Rieg: The same goes for them. ”

"I guess it's still on Fish-Man Island, there is no way to contact you with phone bugs."

"I hope so......"

On Sphinx Island, in front of Whitebeard's grave, Marco and Ace were talking, and suddenly, the two of them spoke, and their eyes changed at the same time.

They turned their heads to look around.

The wind has changed......

Hula!

In the distance, among the mountains surrounding the island, flocks of birds rose like black clouds.

The animals living on the island also seemed to be frightened and fled in all directions in a panic.

Even the Sphinx, the human-faced lions, who were enough to be pushed into the city's prison to guard the lv2 beast hell, looked very uneasy, and looked at the distant sky on the side of the island from time to time.

Behind the surrounding mountains, dark clouds obscured the twilight sky, and darkness was slowly approaching the island.

The Sphinx's human-like faces showed a look of fear, and they shrunk their tails and fled.

"Here we are." Ace looked at the dark sky, "It's Tiki." ”

"He's Blackbeard now." Marco said with a smile.

"Then we'll have to ask if the 'Whitebeard Pirates' will say yes." Ace rubbed his fists and smiled.

"Ace, you can go."

Marco said, "In the past year, when I heard the news that Tiqi was already a dual devil fruit ability, I understood that Tichy's body was indeed a special 'alien'. I am a ship doctor and I know his peculiarities very well. I haven't heard of Tiki having a third Devil Fruit ability...... He deliberately kept a third ability for himself, don't you understand? ”

The former immortal bird smiled and said, "He won't give up this ability in me, inherited from my father's 'Shock Fruit'. ”

"What's the matter, isn't my burning fruit powerful?" Ace joked, "It's also natural, that guy can't look down on it?" ”

"......" Marco lifted his glasses and just looked at him.

"Marco, I'm the captain."

Ace smiled at the corner of his mouth, but his expression was very serious, "They are still behind me, how can I escape?" ”

I saw that behind Ace and Marco, there were people from the Whitebeard Pirates standing there, as well as many members of the pirates under the command of the Whitebeard Pirates.

Team 6 Captain Bramanck, Team 7 Team Captain Rakyo, Team 10 Team Captain Kuliel ......

Waidibe the Ice Witch, Skuyard the Great Vortex Spider, Doma the Ranger Knight...... and little Oz, a giant demon sitting on his knees at the foot of the mountain. Little Oz hugged the hat that Ace had made up for him on his head, buried his head in the shadow of the hat, and said in a low voice: "A year ago, if I could have arrived in time for Marin Fando, would the ending of my father be different?" Ace...... You say, a year ago, if I had been able to make it to Marin Fando in time, would my father's ending be different? I really want to know ......."

Looking at little Oz, who had been autistic for almost a year, everyone was silent. No one can untie him, unless he turns back time, unless his father comes back to life, this is the knot in the heart of little Oz for the rest of his life.

Looking up at little Oz talking to himself, Skuyard clenched his knife, his face as white as a ghost was expressionless, and he said to himself: "I once betrayed my father, and the reason why I have shamelessly lived until now is for today...... The guy who betrayed his father must not live. So am I, Teach, and so are you! ”

"Go, brethren......"

Ace didn't turn back, just raised a clenched fist with a red flame burning on it.

He shouted, "Let's go and make a break with Titch!" ”

"Oh!!"

The captains, the members of the Whitebeard Boat Regiment, clenched their fists together.

Marco took a deep breath, smiled nonchalantly, and calmly followed Ace's side, walking towards the mountains and coast where the clouds had moved.

……

"Thief hahahaha......"

Beyond the mountain range that surrounds the Sphinx, offshore is full of winds and waves. On a huge pirate ship, the Blackbeard Pirates Grand Admiral Marshall. D. Tich stepped on the bow of the boat, spread his arms, and laughed out loud.

"Ace, Marco, now you can't escape! Whether it's Daddy's legacy or the Shock Fruit, it's all mine!! ”

In front of them, from the front of the mountain gorge, Ace and Marco walked to the beach, bumped punches into each other, and tacitly spread a little distance, one looked to the left, the other to the right, and counted the number of pirate ships around the main ship where Tiki was.

"One, two, three...... How are there only five pirate ships? ”

Ace was surprised.

Marco moved his hands and smiled with a slight coldness: "Marshall. D. Titch, don't you have at least ten pirate ships and nine captains? If you only bring half of it, will you look down on us old friends too much? ”

Whoa!

On the mountain behind the two, the tide jumped out of the black and white pirates.

The demon little Oz climbed over the mountain range and looked coldly at the five pirate ships that were aiming their black barrels at the direction of the island, and on each ship, there were three black pirate flags with skull patterns fluttering.

"Thief hahaha!"

Titch laughed maniacally, "Captain Ace! Marco! How long have we been in the same boat, and how can I look down on you? Hey, sand crocodile, let the other five ships come back from the other side of the island! Since Captain Ace and Captain Marco are here, there's no need to worry about them escaping! ”

The captain of the No. 3 ship of the Blackbeard Pirates, the former king of the Seven Martial Seas, "Sand Crocodile" Klockdahl was dressed in a big hat, biting a cigar, and said unhappily: "Don't order Lao Tzu!" I just haven't had the right chance to leave! ”

In this time and space, because Luffy has mastered domineering, his comprehensive strength has also strengthened under the education of Tulip's love, and he has not lost several times in a row under Klockdahl like in the comics, including Zoro and others. Because of this, Klockdahl didn't have the opportunity to see how far the Straw Hat Boy and his companions could go at the risk of their lives in order to help each other...... Therefore, Klockdahl's personality has not undergone the same transformation as in the comics.

Klockdahl is still the same indifferent sand crocodile, and the arrogance is still there.

Blackbeard has only one requirement for his subordinates, and that is to listen to commands. Most of the time, it's basically free-range, and it doesn't matter how lawless it is. On the contrary, because of this, Klockdahl has never found a suitable excuse to break away from the Blackbeard Pirates - after all, he wants face.

"Hiryu, Fan. Kao ...... Ace and Marco are both on our side, so let's lean in. ”

At the same time as Klockdahl sent a message to the phone bug of the contact, Titch on the main ship also waved his hand, and in the wild laughter, the five pirate ships fired in unison, and in the burst of fire, countless cannonballs flew towards Ace and the others.

"Is this just a greeting?" Esdow, "Marco. ”

Rumble!

Marco clenched his fists, and the force of the earthquake unleashed violently.

Click!

The invisible shock wave shattered the oncoming rain of cannonballs in mid-air......

This battle of grievances has officially begun!
