"Daddy! I was wrong! ”

After confirming that Thatch's rescue was ineffective, Ace, who had become the captain of the team at a young age, took a deep breath and reported to Whitebeard through the phone: "My subordinate, Titch...... He killed Thatch. ”

“…… Why? ”

Whitebeard's voice suddenly became solemn.

"It should be to capture the Dark Fruit......"

Ace immediately explained to Whitebeard what Thatch had mentioned to him in his previous contact.

"What about the others?"

Whitebeard's voice didn't seem to be rippling.

"Who?"

Ace subconsciously asked, and immediately reacted.

"Titch! That damn Marshall J. who killed Thatch What about D. Teach! ”

Whitebeard immediately shouted angrily, "What the hell is your brain! Where the hell is he? ”

"He jumped into the sea, and my men are chasing him in a boat......"

When Ace was 17 years old, he founded the Spade Pirates not long after he went to sea, and became famous all over the world. He rejected the invitation from the World Government to become the king of the Seven Martial Seas, but after fighting Whitebeard, he was impressed by Whitebeard's strength and joined the Whitebeard Pirates as the captain of the second team. D. Titch on the head. However, due to his lack of experience, he was a little flustered after being angrily reprimanded by Whitebeard, who was in a state of rage.

"Gotta catch him!"

Whitebeard's vicious voice came from the phone bug: "Bring back this thug who killed his companion, and I will personally burn him at the stake!" ”

"If you can't catch him, then don't come back!"

"Yes!"

Ace, who was sweating profusely, responded.

“…… Also, I'll send Marco and Bista to help you, and if you can't catch him, you know the consequences! ”

After all, Daddy Whitebeard is a knife-mouthed tofu heart, and after thinking about it, he still doesn't worry about young Ace, so he sent Marco of the first team and Bista of the fifth team to assist, so as to capture the plotted Marshall as soon as possible. D. Teach!

After Ace hung up the phone bug's communication, the pirate cadres who joined him during the formation of the Spade Pirates had already pulled all of Thatch's subordinates, especially the pirates who were paddling in the bilge of the captured naval transport ship, to the deck to torture them to extract confessions, especially after a pirate cadre turned over a black phone bug in the bilge, Ace's pirate cadres became even more ruthless.

And in his second team, he once cooperated with Marshall J. D. Titch's teammates who were too close were also controlled.

It's just that Thatch's suspected subordinates cried wolf and shouted one after another during the torture, and quickly confessed to the newcomer pirate who claimed to have an irreversible relationship with Lafayette, but when Ace contacted his colleagues who were preparing for the war in the berth, he was told that several of Marshall's henchmen had disappeared without a trace; And the players in the second team, who usually have a close relationship with Marshall, seem to have taken dumb medicine, and they didn't say anything even if they were tortured.

In this way, Ace can be regarded as having understood!

It turned out that the problem was in his own team - he subconsciously thought that the Thatch men who were tortured and howled for mercy were actually wronged!

"Hold them all in custody!"

Ace was so distraught by the howls of these 'soft bones' that he ordered his subordinates.

Ace was also very irritable when such a big bad thing happened, and he was eager to catch Marshall, who had killed his companion and escaped, and tortured him.

The five pirate ships he brought with him were constantly throwing heavy artillery shells and waterproof delay fuses into the sea, bombing aimlessly, trying to force Marshall out of the sea.

In their domineering perception, they can still sense that there is a humanoid creature swimming on the bottom of the sea, so it can be seen that Marshall has not escaped from their encirclement, but due to the interference of the seawater, even if it is as strong as Ace, it can only roughly delineate a range, and cannot accurately locate Marshall in the sea.

……

In the royal capital of the Republic of Goya on Dongdao Island in the East China Sea, the recruitment of service troops directly initiated by the ninja army is in full swing.

The reason why this time the recruitment of service troops in the nature of a servant army in the pirate world is ostensibly to expand the military strength of the Republic Alliance, but the real intention is actually to count all the powerful people and even hidden spies hidden in the East China Sea through recruitment, and restrain them in the name of the service force, so that it is very convenient to put these restless factors into the battlefield as cannon fodder or directly to the laboratory as 'researchers' in the future.

A Royal Forest Army ninja assigned by Tokumitsu Uchiha himself was lazily registering his recruits, while his ninja cat sat between his legs and flicked its tail back and forth.

It's just that for most of the day, there are only twenty or thirty qualified applicants registered at the recruitment point of the Kingdom of Goya.

"Next!"

The Royal Forest Army ninja yawned, looked at the blind uncle in front of him expressionlessly, and shouted to the young man standing at the bottom of the line: "I have said the next one, you can't come yet!" ”

"Hey, hey, hey! You can't ignore me! ”

At this moment, the blind uncle with short black hair, purple tunics, an 'X' shaped scar on his left forehead extending to his eyes, and a cane knife in his hand shouted in dissatisfaction.

"Please, this is a conscription!"

The Imperial Forest Army ninja sighed, but felt that as an imperial family, it was better to follow Uchiha Tokumitsu's 'kind and people-friendly' instructions: "You will go to sea to fight in the draft, and your age is not up to the mark, so go home, or your family will be looking for you everywhere." ”

"Na~ In order to thank you for your recruitment, these are additional subsidies for you, although not much, but it is also a heart, or don't shirk."

The Imperial Guards ninja thought for a moment, then pulled out a wad of Berry and handed it over without counting.

For the Guards ninjas, the currency of this world has no meaning at all, just a distribution of consumables that they carry with them.

"It's ...... For me? ”

The blind uncle seemed to hesitate to take the Berry handed over by the Royal Forest Army ninja, and calculated the amount of these banknotes with a twist of his hand: "By the way, I don't have any family here, so I ......"

Five thousand berries is not a small amount for ordinary people, at least enough to eat for several days.

"The others are two thousand, but you're an extra favor."

The Royal Forest Army ninja said patiently: "Although this recruitment is only a service force, it may still involve fighting at sea, so as far as your physical condition is concerned, ......"

He didn't go on, after all, it was somewhat bad to say that a lonely and blind man was flawed.

"Of course, your loyalty and dedication are commendable, and I hope that in the future you will be conscientious and responsible in your working life and continue to shine for the Union of Republics......"

The Kingsguard ninja covered his mouth in boredom and yawned silently.

This kind of work is really too boring for him.

Of course, he didn't refuse other people's recruitment at will, after all, all the ninjas in charge of recruitment had received a certain amount of special perception training, and they were already able to identify most of the capable people; And this blind uncle belongs to the ordinary passerby type in his perception, so he also refused.

“…… So, do you feel that your strength is not enough, not because of eye problems? ”

The blind uncle happily put Berry away, and pointed to his eyes, which had been closed.

"Hmm...... If you need a job, I can send you a letter of introduction to the National Assembly and they will arrange a job for you. ”

The Imperial Guards ninja continued to speak patiently.

His ninja cat bared its claws and began scratching at his pants.

The Imperial Forest Army ninja took out the dried fish from his arms, tore open the package and fed the ninja cat who was wreaking havoc, and started the fishing time.

"It's fragrant food, can you try it for me?"

The blind uncle's nose twitched a few times, and he seemed to be a little moved.

"It's for ...... Forget it, if you don't mind......"

The Imperial Forest Army ninja sighed, feeling a little helpless, but still handed a few packets of dried fish to the blind uncle: "Please don't continue to block the recruitment, okay?" ”

'If you knew it, you wouldn't have set up this kind of people-friendly persona!' ’

Although he still kept his soft words, the heart of the Royal Forest Army ninja was already a little impatient.

Of course, as a ninja from the imperial Uchiha, although his personality is arrogant, he will not vent his emotions to a blind man who is trying to find an 'iron rice bowl', which is the most basic quality.

"It's a delicious small dried fish, although it is a very ordinary trash fish, but it is very well handled, but is this spicy taste really suitable for cats?"

The blind uncle commented while eating small dried fish.

"Huh!"

The Imperial Guard ninja was stunned for a moment, feeling that something was wrong - how could a blind man see that he was feeding fish to a cat?!

"Although your heart is a little impatient, your tone is as calm as ever, which is a very good cultivation compared to most nobles."

The blind uncle didn't seem to notice the doubts of the Imperial Forest Army ninja, and after slowly eating a pack of small dried fish, he cherished the rest of the unopened small dried fish back into his arms, and then 'looked' at the frowning Royal Forest Army ninja: "If it's just because of the problem of the eyes, I think I can still make up for it through strength." ”

“…… Really? ”

The Imperial Forest Ninja gently patted the ninja cat on his lap and stood up with his hand pressed the ninja knife.

Then, the blind uncle took three steps back from the guard of the Imperial Forest Army ninjas, and slowly drew his staff and knife and pointed at the clearing on one side.

"Gravity Knife Tiger!"

With the shout of the blind uncle, a 'knife qi' slashed out, blasting out a deep crack on the ground!

"What's your name!"

The Royal Forest Ninja's face was gloomy, both jealous of the unknown powerhouse and annoyed by his own eyes.

He was very sure that he couldn't swing such a powerful sword qi with such a casual attitude!

"Under the name of Life, I have come here to recruit as a member of the service force of the Republic Alliance, and I hope that your ministry will accept it."

The blind uncle who claimed to be his life took back his staff knife in a dashing manner, stroked his chest and bowed to the Uchiha ninja.

"With your strength, tell the truth......"

The Imperial Guards ninja didn't know what to say.

However, after this sword qi burst out, the noise also alarmed the ninja army who were sitting in the capital, and they were galloping over.

And the leader is none other than the general of the Fifth Army Corps, Qimu Shuomao!

The Kingsguard ninja quickly filled in the name of his life on the recruitment form, and then said, "You're welcome to join!" ”

As for identity verification or something, as long as he joins the service force in his blind life, he will have time to check and verify his origin and identity in the future; But being able to recruit an out-and-out indigenous powerhouse is the best performance of the recruiter - this credit can't be picked up by Qimu Shuomao for nothing!

……

In the New World Sea, Sakasky and Yellow Ape are each leading eight warships to outflank the hijacked naval transport ship on the left and right flanks.

And such a big posture is used to deal with the unworthy 'Fire Fist' Ace and the old coercion Marshall Ace. D. Titch is more than enough.

"General! Discover a cluster of pirate ships! ”

Sakaski's fleet was the first to discover the existence of Ace's second team of the Whitebeard Pirates.

"Inform the Yellow Ape General and let him outflank him."

Sakasky said calmly.

"Yes!"

The admiral was immediately ordered to leave.

At the same time, Ace, who was frantically exploding fish, also saw eight naval warships appearing at sea level!

"Damn!"

Ace was so angry that he was about to crush his teeth.

His men had dropped more than 500 delayed shells to the bottom of the sea, but they still couldn't force out the sunken Marshall Brown. D. Titch, on the other hand, depleted half of the ship's shell reserves.

And now the arrival of the Navy also means that the mission to hunt down the traitors has completely failed!

Because with his five pirate ships, plus Thatch's ship, he can't compete with eight naval warships.

What's more, looking through the telescope, Ace suddenly found that the one standing at the bow of a battleship in the center was actually Admiral Akainu of the Navy Headquarters!

So, don't go now, wait for when!

Ace gritted his teeth and made a wise choice-

"Turn the sails and return immediately!"

At the same time, he also took out the phone bug and was about to notify his companions of the Whitebeard Pirates, but suddenly found that the phone bug had no signal at all!

This means that the navy is definitely prepared, so it specially prepared a telephone bug with horns to block the communication signal of the telephone bug in the sea area!

"It's not good......"

Ace put away the phone bug with a gloomy face and began to concentrate on guarding.

……

"Go down a few people and get this filthy guy out."

After Sakasky arrived at the sea where the Navy transport ship was located, he first sensed the existence of Marshall on the bottom of the sea through what he saw and heard, and then said to his subordinates.

He had eaten Devil Fruits, so he wasn't fit to go to sea.

As for Ace, who was fleeing at this time, he didn't worry about it, because that was the mission of the yellow ape. (End of chapter)
