Chapter 138: Preparing for War
New World, the territory of the Whitebeard Pirates.
When Ace's news came, Moby. On the Dick, a banquet was being held.
The sudden bad news made the previously cheerful atmosphere drop to freezing point in an instant.
Whitebeard sat on the throne with a gloomy face, he really didn't expect that the person he was worried about would come with this news.
I still remember that not long after Ace left, Redhead came to him and asked him to recall Ace, saying that Blackbeard Titch was not simple.
But at that time, he didn't take it to heart, and he also believed that Ace's strength could handle it, and it turned out that the redhead was right at this moment.
"Daddy, you can't watch Ace be executed by the Navy like this!"
Some people below spoke one after another, and what they said meant the same thing, and some people were silent.
Marco also wants to save Ace, but looking at the scars on Whitebeard's body and the hanging arm, he is very worried.
Daddy isn't young after all, can he handle the conflict in the Navy Headquarters?
"Daddy, if you want to join forces with the redhead, the odds are higher."
Marco asked tentatively after some consideration.
"No, it's our own business, there's no need to involve that kid.
Get ready, set off in two days, and go to Marin Fando to pick up Ace and go home. ”
Whitebeard shook his head, and then said lightly.
"Got it, Daddy!"
No matter how many concerns Marco had in his heart, since Whitebeard had given the order, he had to carry it out.
The banquet was dispersed, and the teams went back with their men to prepare for the next major events.
Whitebeard still sat on the main seat, and Marco, as the ship's doctor, was left alone to take care of it.
"Marko, are you worried about this operation?"
Whitebeard turned his head and asked Marco, who was silent.
"Yes Dad, I really want to save Ace, but if we only fight the entire navy, I'm afraid that you will be damaged."
"Haha, Lao Tzu is a white beard, what is there to worry about.
If it were you, or anyone else on board, I would have made the decision now.
You remember that there are some things that you have to hesitate about, but you have to do them, even if they are sacrificed. ”
Whitebeard's words, Marco understands that he has been with this man since he was a child, and knows that in the other party's heart, there is nothing like the affection between family members.
"I know Dad, in that case, in order for you to be able to do your best in seven days, now take the medicine you didn't want to take before."
Marco didn't say much, and he didn't say anything to persuade him, after all, this was what he wanted to do.
"Okay, just settle your heart."
Whitebeard smiled faintly and did not object.
……
On a nameless island in the New World, red-haired Shanks and his fleet gathered together at this moment, and they were also discussing Ace in the newspaper.
Redhead looked at Ace's photo, his face was a little melancholy, but he finally failed to convince Whitebeard to summon Ace back.
"Shanks, when are we leaving?"
Beckman asked, smoking a cigarette and looking at his captain's rare serious face.
"You know my intentions again?"
The redhead put down the newspaper, took a sip of wine and said.
"Everyone knows that your ideas are too easy to guess."
"Yes, Captain, I'm going to go, and those three words are almost engraved on your face." Jesus Bu rubbed his nose and said with a smile.
"Is it so obvious?"
Shanks touched his face, sighed and continued:
"Ace shouldn't have lost his life because of his father.
And the Navy's decision to publicly execute this time is really stupid, no, this should be the meaning of the world government, and the Warring States will not act in such a high-profile manner. ”
"It's really not like the style of the Warring States, the person who gave this order obviously didn't know that once this battle started, it wouldn't stop easily."
Beckman nodded.
The person who knows you best will always be your enemy, and this sentence is very appropriate for the navy and pirates at this time.
"We must go, but we must have the right time to appear, otherwise it will only increase the contradictions between the two sides and allow the scope of the war to continue to expand.
It is rare for the forces of the new world to have the current stable situation, and if the matter of Ace is not handled well, this sea will be chaotic again. ”
Shanks wants to solve this trouble with the minimum cost, it can't be said to be delusional, he has such strength.
"If we don't show up, can we withstand the pressure of the Navy with only the Whitebeard Pirates?
Ten years ago, I wouldn't have thought like this, but now he's old. ”
Jesus Bu said this, and they nodded along with them.
"If this was ten years ago, there would never have been such a thing, and the strongest man in the world is not a joke.
Even now, this title is still on Whitebeard.
However, there is a reason for your fears.
But if the two emperors of the new world launched an attack on the naval headquarters at the same time, the nature of the matter would be different.
This will represent the pirates declaring war on the navy, not to mention whether they can save Ace, and the number of people who will die in the middle of this is impossible to estimate.
This is not what I want to see, and Ace will not think about the countless innocent people who have died because of him.
So at the beginning, they could only go up to the Whitebeard Pirates on their own, and they must have thought of this kind of result. ”
Shanks put down the bowl, frowned and thought about it, then asked another question.
"We only considered the navy just now, and it seems that there are also restless people in the Four Emperors."
"You mean Kaido, that madman?
Indeed, it is possible for him to grab territory after Whitebeard leaves.
In this way, there is no need to think about when it is appropriate for us to appear on the battlefield, it will not be easy to rush over in time. ”
Beckman calmly analyzed.
"Kaido, this guy!"
Jesus Bu touched the gun on his body and gritted his teeth a little.
"Forget it, let's discuss this, recuperate in the past two days, and after Whitebeard and them leave, we will keep an eye on Kaido, and as soon as we find that something is wrong, we will solve this trouble first."
Shanks concludes.
……
Chambord Islands, the bar of Chasaki.
After repeated bombardment by the crew, Lu Gui finally decided to take them with him.
"Go and go, protect yourself when the time comes, Belle, Sinai and the future, you don't have to get off the ship, this is not a discussion, it is an order."
"Got it, we don't get off the boat, hehe."
Belle said with a smile.
"Then you wait here, I'll ask Uncle Reilly if there's any way to get to the Navy Headquarters in a hidden place."
After Lu Gui finished speaking, he went to the backyard to find Reilly.
Sinai also went back to his room and told Paul Sr. about it.
"Your captain is really bold, as soon as the matter here in the Chambord Islands is over, he will go to the Navy Headquarters to make trouble again!"
Paul Sr. sighed.
"He wanted to go over on his own, but in the end, after everyone discussed it, they decided to follow along."
"What do you think in your heart, good girl?"
"I want to be with them, I think it's going to be exciting."
Sinai's eyes sparkled.
"Hehe, then go, I won't stop you, just pay attention to safety."
Paul Sr. smiled, he was worried about the safety of Sinai on this trip, but he also understood the other party's thoughts.
Since they met, he and his daughter have been receiving help from Lu Gui and others, which not only saved his life, but also solved hidden dangers in the future.
This kind of kindness is really difficult to repay.
Although Lu Gui didn't care about this, Sinai who got on the boat couldn't forget.
Even if she really can't help anything, she still has the determination to face danger together.
"Father, when are you going back to Three Guns Island?"
"Just these two days, when you go to the Navy Headquarters, I'll go back.
I'm recovering my strength day by day, you don't have to worry about me, live your own life. ”
Paul Sr. touched Sinai's head and explained.
"Well, my father will also pay attention to his body in the future, waiting for us to come back from the new world."
The father and daughter told each other that this time they went to the Navy Headquarters, and it was unpredictable that something unbearable would happen, and they didn't know in their hearts.
On the other side, Lu Gui found Reilly, who was chatting with Xia Qi, and when he saw Lu Gui coming over, he asked him with a smile if he had made a decision.
"Yes, we'll go with the whole boat."
"Hehe, that's right, always carrying it alone in front, your crew won't have a sense of involvement.
The pleasure of sailing on the sea was half lost in an instant. ”
Xia Qi said with a satisfied smile.
"Then you came here to know how to get to Marinfando?"
Reilly then asked.
"Yes, the fanfare of the past, we don't have enough people to see."
Lu Gui said truthfully.
"Actually, you guessed early on that the Whitebeard Pirates would also pass, right?"
"I can guess that if it were just me, I wouldn't be so arrogant that I could save Ace.
With the Whitebeard Pirates in front to attract firepower, I have a chance of success in the back. ”
Lu Gui nodded and said.
"Clever! In fact, the best way to get to Marin Fando secretly is to coat the ship and dive through the sea.
As the headquarters of the Navy, Marin Fando has a strong defense force.
But on the day of Ace's execution, the Navy's attention must have been on Whitebeard. You can take advantage of the chaos. ”
Reilly analyzed.
"Coating? Then leave it to Uncle Reilly, it is indeed a lot safer in the sea. ”
"No problem, give me two days. I have here a record pointer to Marinfando, and I give it to you. ”
Reilly nodded in agreement.
"That's better, the boat will be handed over to the uncle."
"In the past two days, you have also prepared well, and it is one point that your strength can increase by one point.
When you get there, you still put your own safety first, and leave as soon as possible after an accident, Ace won't blame you. ”
