[ONE PIECE] The daily life of Shura field in four eyes

Chapter17

Dreamland-a place for weekly trading

——The prelude to the conspiracy

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

That night, as Marco and Ace expected, the dream came

From the scream in the middle of the night until now the sky is dimly lit

The captains of the Whitebeard Pirates never slept together again.

Marco punched the wall with a fist, the murderous intent in his eyes was terrifying

"Sure enough, the fruit is gone, and Teach is also missing."

As early as when he rushed to Sachi's room, he noticed that the box that Sachi had hurriedly locked in the afternoon was missing, and it was the Devil Fruit that Sachi had just obtained.

Yi Zang pinched the bridge of his nose and cheered up, holding in his hand the Devil Fruit Illustrated Book that he had been looking through for a long time.

"found it"

Using Marco's description, he found the Devil Fruit that Sachi was going to eat.

"It's a dark fruit, natural type"

He paused and looked very ugly.

"Known as the most vicious ability in the history of Devil Fruits"

Ace is on the side and has been silent since the incident until now.

"That guy's goal is this fruit."

Marco said firmly. He suddenly remembered that he had seen Teach holding a Devil Fruit illustrated book and studying something every day. However, whenever the Devil Fruit was found on the ship, he showed no interest at all, so gradually Marco Ke also thought that Tiqi was simply looking through the pages. Unexpectedly, it was because he had clearly defined his goal early.

"Are you kidding me? Just because of a devil fruit?"

Bista yelled angrily. As a swordsman with strong physical and sword skills, he never thought there was anything great about relying on the ability of Devil Fruit. But now he heard that Sachi was killed just for this reason. , how can you not be angry?

"That's Sachi!"

If there is anyone on the ship who is the easiest to get along with, it must be Sachi. The popular chef has always been a good guy, never quarrels with others, and is generous and does not care about others.

Such a gentle person was actually killed by the brother he lived with day and night and treated as a sibling.

How chilling

"And there's Seleu."

Halta clenched the knife in his hand, wishing he could chase him out in the next second, snatch Seliu back, and let that bastard be buried with Sachi.

"What was the purpose of taking her away? To use her as a hostage? Seleu's relationship with the Second Division is so good, how could he do this!"

Marco suddenly spoke up and mentioned a detail that no one noticed.

"Tich has been lurking on the ship for 20 years for a Devil Fruit. During this period, he has been hiding himself, huddled in a corner where no one noticed and acted as an unknown person. Once he succeeds, he can kill the brother he has known for so long. With such a scheming mind, why did he leave his sword behind when he left?"

Ace frowned, obviously remembering the scene where the knife was inserted directly into Thatch's chest.

"Indeed, it's very wrong to say that. Everyone was drunk at that time, even Sage. When I helped him back to the house, I watched him fall asleep directly on the bed. If Teach just wanted the fruit The fruit can be taken away quietly, and no one will find out. Why did he kill Sachi in a big way, leave his own sword, and take Seliu away?"

Muir also felt something was wrong. As a fishman, he has a strong ability to metabolize alcohol. Last night, he was not too drunk. He even helped the drunk and unconscious Sachi back to the room. It was impossible for Sachi to notice that. Tikki came to take the fruit and had an argument with him

"Well, there was no sound of fighting last night. The loudest sound after the banquet was probably the scream."

Ace's room is very close to Thatch, so there's no reason why he couldn't hear the sound of fighting in Thatch's room.

"He did it on purpose"

Marco came to this conclusion with a gloomy expression.

but why?After they know that the murderer is him, Teach will definitely be chased to the ends of the earth by the angry Whitebeard Pirates, take back Seleustin, and kill him to avenge Teach.

Wait, chase?

"He wants us to hunt him down."

After some inference, we came to this incredible conclusion. After combining Teach's personality and various performances so far, we eliminated all impossible answers. The closest to the truth is this purpose.

"How is it possible that we should go after him? What is the purpose of this?"

Halta exclaimed in surprise. This inference does not sound convincing.

Yes, why?

Marco pulled up a stool and sat down, lowering his head. The emotions he had suppressed since discovering that Seleu was missing were already on the verge of exploding.

Ace listened silently and made a decision

"I'm going to capture Tikki and avenge Tikki."

Marco did not raise his head, but moved his lips slightly, as if he wanted to say something.

"You are not allowed to go"

Whitebeard's voice came over, and the firmness in his tone made Ace open his eyes wide.

"Why don't you let me go? Tiqi is my team member. He has killed Sachi and taken Seliu away. I must capture him!"

"Seliu is still pregnant with the child! What if something unexpected happens?"

Ace shouted like a roar. His failure to protect Thatch made him feel incompetent. If something happened to Seleustin, then he really couldn't imagine what he would do.

Marco swallowed his words to dissuade him quietly when he heard the word Seliu.

Yes... Seleu was captured by Teach

Maybe she was taken somewhere and imprisoned, hoping that I could rescue her.

He raised his head and stared at his father's figure

"I'll go as well"

He knew that this was something fishy, ​​and that Tiqi might have a back-up plan by letting them go there on purpose, but he couldn't back down at this time. As a man, he couldn't let his wife and children fall into the hands of the enemy and turn a blind eye.

Seliu is still outside, and his girl is still outside waiting for him to take her home.

Whitebeard looked at his two sons with red eyes and closed his eyes tiredly.

"Then...go"

He finally acquiesced

If it was just because of Sachi's death, he might not really let his sons chase him out in the face of Teach's deep scheming.

But Seleu was taken away, and we can’t turn a blind eye to this matter no matter what.

"Listen up, you two are allowed to go out alone. You must act together. If you catch Teach, come back quickly."

Marco and Ace nodded solemnly, turned around and prepared to go out and pack their bags.

Suddenly, a phone bug rang

Boo boo boo boo—

That voice didn't come from everyone present.

Marco looked around in surprise. Others in the room had the same reaction as him.

There should be no phone bugs in this room. Since they are not the phone bugs that everyone carries with them, where did this sound come from?

Namuir followed the sound and turned over a piece of floor

Under the floor lies a phone bug with a black beard and a captain's hat.

The phone bug was placed on the table and still kept ringing.

Marco and his father looked at each other, and after Whitebeard nodded slightly, he answered the phone.

"Can you hear me, everyone of the Whitebeard Pirates?"

Surprisingly, that was not Blackbeard's voice

"Who are you"

Marco frowned. A man's strange voice came from the phone, which made him very unhappy.

"Let me introduce myself. I am Lafitte. I am known as the Ghost Security Officer in the West Sea. Well, to you all, I am just a nobody."

"What are you going to say? What's going on with this phone bug?"

Halta interrupted him impatiently.

"Now let's get down to business. Our captain, "Blackbeard" Marshall D. Teach, wants to make a deal with everyone here."

"You care about that blond woman, don't you?"

"Where is Seliu? Where did you take her?"

Ace couldn't help but rushed forward to question him.

"This must be the famous "Fire Fist" Ace, I've admired him for a long time."

The man seemed to chuckle, and the phone bug imitated his expression, showing a somewhat weird smile.

"Don't worry, at least she's alive now."

"After half a month, hand over fifteen islands in the New World and send them to our Blackbeard Pirates, and I will return this woman to you."

Fifteen islands?It’s really a lion’s mouth.

The contemptuous tone made all the captains present frown, and the room was instantly enveloped in a huge murderous aura.

"In addition, before completing the transaction, please ask "Phoenix" Marco to stay next to this phone bug, if you still want to get news about this woman."

After saying that, the phone bug chirped and closed his eyes, the call was over.

"How arrogant this is"

Yi Zang held the weapon at his waist

"Hand over fifteen islands? Wishful thinking, Dad, I think it's better for me and Marco to go after Teach. There's no need to give him the land for free."

Ace stepped forward, but did not change his mind about chasing Teach.

Whitebeard nodded. Since Blackbeard's identity was exposed and Seleu was captured for the purpose of using the island for trade, it would be much safer for Ace and the others to chase him out.

Ace and Marco got his approval and decided to act in accordance with the original plan

Just when everything was ready, Marco took the phone bug and prepared to disembark.

Suddenly the phone bug in his hand opened its eyes and made a beeping warning sound.

Marco realized something was wrong and quickly stepped back, the phone bug in his hand calmed down again.

He looked very ugly. This phone bug was equipped with a positioning system. I'm afraid the phone bug would be scrapped if he got off the Moby Dick.

Thinking of what the man said, he gritted his teeth

Ace was already on the boat, looking back at him

"It doesn't matter, I am enough alone"

Then the boat under his feet lit up with fire at the stern and moved forward quickly.

Marco was behind him and wanted to call him back immediately, but it was already too late.

Seeing Ace's life card in his hand gradually moving forward as its owner walked away, he had a bad feeling in his heart, and his face was full of anxiety and worry.

"Damn it, you must come back safely, Ace"

Half a month later, the life card that started burning seemed to confirm his worries.

The day after that was the agreed day for the transaction.
