Chapter 163 The Singularity of Fate (asking for monthly votes~)
"What!? Blackbeard joined the navy!?"
When Red brought this news back to Pokémon Park, the entire Straw Hat Pirates and Ace instantly showed incredible shock.
Facing the eyes of his companions staring at him, Red nodded with a heavy face:
"According to that female navy..."
"Blackbeard should have escaped from our sight through the deep sea area before, and was rescued by their warships when he was floating on the sea."
"Blackbeard, who boarded the warship, defeated the entire navy of the warship in the first time, and tied up and controlled Colonel Tina."
"But at that time, he did not hurt any navy, but instead used the navy warship's Den Den Mushi to contact the Navy Headquarters..."
"As for the subsequent conversation, Tina and the navy at that time did not hear it."
"They only knew that the Navy Headquarters then issued an order to Tina and others through Den Den Mushi..."
"Let them escort Blackbeard back to the Navy Headquarters."
At this point, Red's voice suddenly paused.
He raised his head, looked at Ace with serious eyes and reminded:
"Ace, although Tina didn't hear what Blackbeard said to the Navy Headquarters, that guy was able to directly change from a pirate to a navy. I even heard that because of his repeated achievements during this period, he is now a colonel in the Navy Headquarters like Smoker and Tina!"
"Based on my understanding of him and the Navy, they can be so close..."
"Blackbeard is likely to have reached a deal with the Navy with the information about the Whitebeard Pirates as a bargaining chip!"
"Asshole!!! Damn guy!!!"
After hearing this, Ashe clenched his fists tightly, and his eyes were filled with endless anger.
However, after a moment, he suddenly thought of something and forced himself to calm down:
"No! I must let my dad know about this!"
"Red, lend me your Den Den Mushi!"
"No problem."
Without hesitation, Red took out the Den Den Mushi he carried with him.
However, after he pressed the number of the Whitebeard Pirates on the dial of the Den Den Mushi, the Den Den Mushi continued to rest, contrary to its usual behavior, without any response.
"What's going on?!" Ace frowned, but dialed the number on the disc again.
The third time... the fourth time...
But no matter how many times he dialed the number that had already formed an inertial memory, the Den Den Mushi still did not respond.
"Could it be that I remembered the wrong number?" Sanji took down the lit cigarette and said to Ace.
But Ace immediately shook his head and responded: "Impossible! I can't remember this number wrong!"
At this moment, Robin, who had been silent all the time, suddenly said: "If the number is correct..."
"The current state of the Den Den Mushi should be that the signal from the other side has been blocked!"
"It seems... Blackbeard's actions are faster than we thought." Chi Hong frowned and put his hands together at the corners of his mouth, revealing a thoughtful look.
Judging from Blackbeard's performance in the anime, although this guy's plan is very rough and would be difficult to complete if it weren't for his luck, one thing we have to admit is...
This guy's control of timing is very accurate.
And some of the plans he made seem unrelated, but in the end they are always strangely connected.
The death of Crocodile, one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea, will inevitably set off a wave of waves around the world.
And the Navy and the World Government will naturally focus more on the Kingdom of Alabasta.
It must be this opportunity that allowed Blackbeard to recognize Princess Vivi, who had appeared in the Straw Hat Pirates, and to determine the real cause of Crocodile's death.
However, judging from Tina's reaction to them, Blackbeard should not have directly revealed the identity of the Straw Hat Pirates.
So...
Why did he specifically tell Tina the location of Smoker! ?
Red couldn't help but fall into deep thought, and even forgot to comfort Ace, who became irritable because he couldn't get through to Whitebeard's phone.
Judging from the result...
Blackbeard's ultimate goal must be Whitebeard's head and the power of the Tremor-Tremor Fruit.
Then according to his original plan, launching the war on the top is definitely a relatively perfect plan.
Moreover, his original subordinates have now been killed by the Straw Hat Pirates. He is likely to still have the idea of breaking into the Impel Downs and recruiting strong men as his subordinates.
But in order to launch the war on the top, the navy must capture a person who is crucial to Whitebeard.
And the identity of this person must not be too small, otherwise it would be extremely embarrassing for the navy to hold a large-scale public execution for a small person.
In the Whitebeard Pirates, there are currently only two people who can meet this requirement...
One is Marco, the captain of the first team who has followed Whitebeard since childhood and traveled all over the world with him!
And the other is Ace, who is only the captain of the second team beside Red, but has the sinful blood of the Pirate King!
"That's right!"
Red raised his head suddenly and asked Ace:
"Ace, how many people know about your visit to Alabasta?"
"Ah?!" Ace was stunned for a moment, not understanding why Red suddenly asked this question, but still said:
"I am here to hunt down Blackbeard. It is impossible for anyone else to know except the companions on the ship."
"It's just... I have been looking for people and underground organizations to inquire about Blackbeard's news all the way, and I have never thought of hiding my tracks, so..."
"I see." Red nodded in understanding, and then suddenly asked:
"So, does Blackbeard know about your brotherly relationship with Luffy!?"
"How is this possible!?" Ace answered immediately.
But the next second, his voice stopped abruptly.
And he frowned tightly, with a hint of thought in his eyes.
"It seems... When Luffy was first wanted, I introduced Luffy to the companions on the ship."
"Then a few days later, Blackbeard attacked Thatch and escaped from the Moby Dick."
"This makes sense!" Red clapped his hands, his eyes flashing.
"Blackbeard must have guessed that our group had arrived in the Kingdom of Alabasta through Vivi's identity."
"Then he recognized Luffy as your brother, and the information about your whereabouts disappeared after arriving in Alabasta..."
"He must have guessed that you and Luffy had met."
"That's why he told Tina about Smoker and asked her to come to Alabasta to pick up Smoker."
"In this way, once it is confirmed that Tina has picked up Smoker, he can confirm that our group is still in Alabasta, thus proving that the probability of you and Luffy being together is greater."
"His target has always been you!"
"Ace!!!"
Red suddenly raised his head and looked at Ace's eyes with a dazzling gaze.
His analysis also made Ace stunned on the spot.
"What...what?" He whispered softly.
A breeze swept the dust on the ground and blew past everyone.
Although they were inside the brightly lit park, the atmosphere among everyone dropped to freezing point at this moment.
Suddenly, Chihong abruptly let out a meaningful sigh, and then turned his complicated eyes to Ace.
For a moment, the two looked at each other.
Under the gaze of his companions, Chihong slowly said:
"Since things have developed to this point, there are some things I can't say without saying them."
"Ace."
"In fact, I have seen your future!"
