Pirates: Building a Pirate Family.

"Then why is Tikki missing!"

The voices of doubt rang out again, hitting the hearts of everyone present like a heavy hammer.

"Brother Teach!"

The crew could no longer suppress their panic and immediately took action, launching a carpet search of the entire ship.

They searched every corner, calling out Teach's name, but received no response.

As time passed, those who had originally believed that Teach was innocent became paler and paler, with beads of sweat appearing on their foreheads.

"Could it be... that it is really Brother Teach!"

Finally, someone trembled and said this unacceptable guess.

Although there was still a glimmer of hope in their hearts, the facts before them forced them to start facing this cruel possibility.

Just when everyone was in despair, two crew members holding Den Den Mushi came jogging over.

The panic on their faces was clearly visible, and even their voices were trembling.

"I have already notified Captain Ace, and he is rushing here!"

"I also informed Dad, and he ordered us to return to the base immediately!"

After hearing the news, everyone felt even more depressed.

Who killed Captain Thatch?

And is the missing Teach related to this matter?

All mysteries are waiting to be revealed...

Time passes quietly like the gurgling water.

At the end of the sea in the distance, a small and exquisite ship was spewing out hot flames and rushing forward at lightning speed.

"Look! It's Captain Ace, Captain Ace is here!"

When people saw the familiar figure on the sea, their originally restless hearts calmed down instantly, as if they had found their backbone.

Not long after, Ace nimbly jumped onto the pirate ship. His face was as gloomy as the sky before a storm, and he walked straight to the deck without saying a word.

As soon as I stepped onto the deck, the first thing I saw was Thatch lying there motionless and silent.

"Who is responsible for this murder?"

Ace's eyes were wide open and bloodshot as he stared at Thatch's body, his voice trembling with anger.

Thinking back to the brothers who fought side by side with me yesterday and resisted the enemy together, they are now separated from me forever. Only one short night has passed, and fate is so cruel and merciless.

Ace's rage was like a volcanic eruption, and he could no longer contain it.

He turned to look at the people surrounding him, his eyes full of questioning and murderous intent: "Tell me! Who did it?"

Everyone was intimidated by Ace's aura and lowered their heads, not daring to look him in the face.

At this time, a crew member summoned up the courage to say: "Captain Ace, we suspect that it was done by Teach.

Teach was drinking with us on the boat last night, but when we woke up this morning, he suddenly disappeared.

And the devil fruit that Captain Thatch had obtained before was also missing, so we speculate that it is very likely that Teach brutally killed Captain Thatch in order to snatch the devil fruit!"

As soon as this statement came out!

Ace's eyes, which were as big as copper bells, suddenly widened, and it seemed that his eyeballs were about to fall out.

"Teach? How...how is this possible?"

Ace said with a trembling voice, his face full of disbelief.

As if he had heard the most absurd thing in the world, he shook his head desperately, trying to get rid of this terrible idea from his mind.

At this moment, another crew member holding a Den Den Mushi in his hand hurried over and shouted, "Captain Ace, Dad ordered us to take Thatch's body back to the ship immediately!"

Ace, who was somewhat absent-minded, trembled slightly when he heard this. After a long while, he slowly nodded and said weakly, "Return to the Moby Dick!"

After saying this, he staggered to the edge of the deck as if he had lost his soul, staring blankly at Thatch, who was lying there lifeless and motionless.

"Teach, please don't do anything stupid!"

Deep down in his heart, Ace was still praying silently, hoping that the murderer was not Teach.

Maybe some other vicious person did it?

The reason why Teach disappeared might be that he was kidnapped by the cruel murderer.

Ace just kept thinking like this, trying to find a little comfort and hope for himself.

At the same time, on the Whitebeard Pirates' flagship, the Moby Dick.

Whitebeard's face, which was usually filled with a hearty smile, was now overcast, like the sky before a storm.

He lowered his head, his brows were tightly furrowed, forming a deep groove.

A suffocatingly powerful aura emanated involuntarily from his huge body, sweeping in all directions like a surging ocean wave.

The crew members of the Whitebeard Pirates, who were originally immersed in laughter and joy, instantly felt the impact of this terrifying momentum.

Their faces turned red, their breathing became rapid, and their hearts seemed to be tightly grasped by an invisible hand, almost unable to beat.

Everyone turned in horror and looked in the direction of Dad.

I saw that my father had a gloomy face, like a volcano about to erupt.

His chest, as broad as a mountain, rose and fell violently, and every breath seemed to be spewing out anger.

Those eyes, sharp as an eagle's, flashed with a bone-chilling light, and the undisguised murderous intent permeated the entire space, making people shudder.

Marco came to his father in an instant at lightning speed.

When he caught a glimpse of his father's face, which was as gloomy as the dark clouds before a storm, his heart sank suddenly. He knew without thinking that something big must have happened.

Otherwise, my father, who is always calm and steady, would never be so furious.

"Dad, what happened?"

Marco asked anxiously.

Whitebeard slowly lowered his head, which was as heavy as a mountain, and his eyes fell directly on Marco.

His voice was filled with endless grief and sorrow: "Sachi... is dead!"

"what!"

When Marco heard this, his eyes widened as if their eyeballs were about to fall out, and his face was full of disbelief.

"How is this possible? How could the Thatch brothers die?"

At the same time, after hearing the bad news, Joz, Bista and others were also shocked and looked at their father in disbelief.

"Who is the murderer?"

Marco clenched his fists tightly, his knuckles turning white from excessive force, and he asked through gritted teeth.

When Whitebeard heard this, a complex look flashed in his eyes. He subconsciously clenched the Kusukimi in his hand, and couldn't help but recall the speculations of those crew members in his mind.

However, he found it hard to believe those speculations.
