Pirates: I am an enemy of the Four Emperors, and I want to go home

Ace agreed to Zhou Ruiping's suggestion. This was exactly the purpose of his discussion with the other party.

While nodding, Ace took out another phone bug, handed it to Zhou Ruiping, and said politely: "If the investigation yields any information, I will come to you and listen to your opinions and suggestions. I hope you won't be offended. .”

After Zhou Ruiping accepted the phone bug, he recalled the plot in the original work where Marco failed to challenge Blackbeard, and suggested that the Whitebeard Pirates conserve their strength and take the initiative to avoid Blackbeard.

Marco agreed. Seeing that there was nothing else to do, Zhou Ruiping stood up and left.

Back at his residence, Zhou Ruiping thought about Blackbeard again, but because there was too little information, he couldn't deduce anything.

Ignore it, I have to keep my spirits up so that I can better cope with the next adventure.

He said this to himself secretly and lay down to rest.

The next day, at Whitebeard's funeral.

As Zhou Ruiping expected, all the remaining members of the Whitebeard Pirates and the Red-Haired Pirates attended the funeral.

He finally saw the incarnation of the legendary author, Red-haired Shanks.

Zhou Ruiping knew very well that the original work mentioned that Blackbeard had left three scars on Shanks' face, and the author also hinted that Shanks might know some of Blackbeard's secrets.

This is a good opportunity to gather information on Blackbeard.

With this purpose in mind, Zhou Ruiping took the initiative to walk towards Shanks.

Similarly, Shanks was also very interested in Zhou Ruiping. When they met, he first thanked him for helping Luffy during the War on the Top, and then he was deeply concerned about the near-annihilation of the "Crane Pirates". Express regret.

Zhou Ruiping sighed sadly and asked Shanks if he knew about the traitor.

Shanks nodded solemnly. Seeing people on both sides, he took the initiative to ask Zhou Ruiping to have a chat with Tom after the funeral.

Zhou Ruiping naturally agreed.

During the funeral.

Ace, Marco and other captains carried the coffin and sent Whitebeard on his last journey with great grief.

Everyone present was heartbroken, and the sad atmosphere also infected Zhou Ruiping, who couldn't help but feel worried about his future.

When I came here, I was not strong and had many enemies.

In just a few days, I encountered several major crises.

As for the matter of time travel, he still has no clue.

Although I met decent people such as Luffy and Ace during this period, I always felt that there was a long road ahead.

The journey home is full of difficulties.

When he thought of going home, Zhou Ruiping hurriedly put aside his pessimism and concentrated on absorbing the strength of those present.

After the funeral, Zhou Ruiping's body was filled with strength again. He was about to go to see Shanks, but Tom came to him.

"Vice Captain, are Captain Shanks looking for us?" Tom said with joy on his face. .

Zhou Ruiping knew that he had seen the scene of his conversation with Shanks, and thought of his plan to win over Tom, he nodded in agreement: "The red-haired man is about to talk to us about revenge. He should have a lot of information. We go together.".

With that said, Zhou Ruiping went to the place he had made an appointment with Shanks, with Tom following closely behind.

After arriving at the destination, I saw Shanks waiting there alone.

Zhou Ruiping quickly quickened his pace and walked up.

As soon as the three people met, Shanks once again comforted Zhou Ruiping and Tom, and expressed deep regret for not taking action in time.

Then, he paused for a moment and continued: "We have investigated and the most suspect of the entire Klein Pirates is Don Ted. He left the Pirates the day before the sneak attack."

It seems that Tang Ted is most likely the traitor.

Zhou Ruiping secretly said something, and also revealed his plan to go to the hometown of the Changshou Clan to investigate.

Shanks replied with a solemn expression: "Don Ted is indeed in the Kingdom of Tenakena. There are many masters there, so be extremely careful."

After talking about the traitor, Zhou Ruiping asked about the "Anthony Pirates" again. Unfortunately, Shanks didn't have much information to reveal. He just said that this pirate group had also been encircled and suppressed by the navy. However, Captain Anthony escaped with a few capable cadres.

This can be considered good news. The strength of the original enemy has also been weakened.

But why did the navy suddenly fight against two pirate groups?

Zhou Ruiping raised his own questions.

Shanks shook his head, indicating that he didn't know the inside story either.

The three of them were silent for a moment. Zhou Ruiping glanced at Tom again and found that his face was full of excitement, but also a little embarrassed.

Zhou Ruiping smiled bitterly upon seeing this. In order to find more clues about Blackbeard, he asked with careful tone: "Shanks, you have fought against Blackbeard. Have you noticed anything weird about him?"

Shanks was stunned for a moment, but finally sighed and replied: "Blackbeard's strength was already very strong, and now that he has the ability to shake the fruit, he is even more powerful."

"Unfortunately, all I know is that this person doesn't have to sleep and has many times more life experiences than others."

When Zhou Ruiping saw that he couldn't find any valuable information, he stood up and left.

On the way back, he made an appointment with Tom to leave the island tomorrow and go to the Kingdom of Tenakena together.

Back in the room, Zhou Ruiping once again thought about his next plan.

If I want to go to the Kingdom of Tenakena, I will lose the ability of "Sky Eye". It can't be done without the power of the original owner.

Thinking of this, he took out the mirror and the "soul-protecting flower" and prepared to summon the original owner.

"Bang bang bang", another knock on the door came.

Zhou Ruiping learned his lesson this time. He quickly put away the mirror and the "soul-protecting flower" and put them in his pocket.

When he opened the door, he saw Ace again. He had something to discuss with Zhou Ruiping again.

Knowing the purpose of his visit, Zhou Ruiping quickly let Ace in.

As soon as he entered the door, Ace glanced at the items on the table and sat on a chair.

Zhou Ruiping secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Two consecutive social deaths left him with a shadow.

Ace came to Zhou Ruiping this time mainly to ask him what his plans were next.

Zhou Ruiping did not hide anything. He told the pirates that there was a traitor in the pirate group, and said: "Tom and I want to leave tomorrow. We want to go to the Kingdom of Tenakina."

"The Kingdom of Tenakena?" Ais paused and said happily: "Then we are just on the way. We can set off together tomorrow."

It is naturally the best to have a master like Ace with us.Zhou Ruiping agreed quickly, and then asked to replenish some items.

"No problem, I'll take care of this. Do you want me to provide you with any necessities?" Ace said, patting his chest.

In addition to some cleaning supplies, Zhou Ruiping said he wanted notebooks and pens.

Ace agreed repeatedly and said with a smile: "I need to add some new clothes. Look, these clothes are all in tatters." After saying that, he came over to tidy up Zhou Ruiping's clothes.

Zhou Ruiping was about to dodge, but with a "clang", the mirror and the "soul-protecting flower" fell out of his pocket.

Ace awkwardly looked at the mirror on the ground and the little red flower, and then he looked at Zhou Ruiping thoughtfully.

Zhou Ruiping never expected that the scene of social death would happen again, and he was so heartbroken that he didn't want to explain any more.

Seeing this, the considerate Ace quickly stood up and left.

Before leaving, he took another peek at the mirror and the little red flowers on the ground, and left without hesitating to say anything.

After seeing Ace off, Zhou Ruiping sat speechless for a while. He thought about it and decided to cancel his plan to summon the original owner.

Since I have Ace with me, I should be safe for the time being.

Zhou Ruiping muttered and went out. He also wanted to tell Tom about his departure tomorrow morning.

Early the next morning, Zhou Ruiping was woken up by Tom, and the two found Ace and prepared to set off.

After waving goodbye to the Whitebeard Pirates, Zhou Ruiping and his party set sail after dressing up in disguise.

On the boat, the three of them had a clear division of labor. First, Ace sailed the boat as the helmsman, while Tom excitedly returned to his job as a lookout, leaving Zhou Ruiping alone, who could just be lazy.

Without Tom's harassment, Zhou Ruiping returned to the room alone and saw a large package placed on his bed.

He opened it and saw that inside there were the notebooks and pens he had mentioned to Ace, as well as a change of clothes and cleaning supplies.

"Everything that should be included is available. I didn't expect Ace to be very careful, which is completely different from Luffy's careless personality." Zhou Ruiping admired sincerely while rummaging through the contents of the package.

It's a pity that there is no money here. Doesn't it cost nothing to pirates?

Zhou Ruiping was about to mutter a few words when suddenly, he turned over an exquisite box.

Zhou Ruiping felt happy, as if he smelled money.

As soon as I opened it, I saw some peach-pink powdery items, which smelled faintly.

"What is this?" Zhou Ruiping asked doubtfully and put it aside. Then he saw two fans, some hair ties and some feminine-style things.

Zhou Ruiping frowned, wondering what kind of medicine was sold in Ace Gourd. At this time, there was a knock on the door.
