Pirates go undercover from Advance City

When the Dark Fruit appeared, no one noticed that the face of Marshall D. Teach, the blackbeard who had always been inconspicuous in the Whitebeard Pirates, changed suddenly, from shock to disbelief to cruelty, and finally the fierce look in his eyes.

The light flashed away and he slowly lowered his head.

For Blackbeard, he has been waiting for this Devil Fruit for too long, from the time he boarded the Moby-Dick at the age of 12 until he finally saw the Dark Fruit today.

"I had planned to stay on this ship for the rest of my life, but I never thought that I would encounter this fruit one day." Blackbeard murmured to himself.

"Tikki, what are you talking about? Come and have a drink!" Ace came over and patted Blackbeard's belly and said.

"Captain Ace, I feel a little unwell today, so I won't drink."

"Not feeling well? Do you want to see Marco?" Ace asked with concern.

"No, I'll go and rest for a while and I should be fine." After saying that, Blackbeard turned and returned to his cabin.

At this moment, Blackbeard's heart was extremely complicated.

In fact, before Blackbeard boarded the Moby-Dick, he had read the Devil Fruit Encyclopedia and knew about the existence of the Dark Fruit.

The reason why he chose to join the Whitebeard Pirates was because this was the place where he was most likely to obtain this Devil Fruit.

The goal of the Roger Pirates is to reach the final island. Blackbeard is very clear that once Roger reaches the island, neither the navy nor the world government will allow him to roam freely on the sea.

Looking back at the Whitebeard Pirates, Whitebeard has no ambitions. He only values ​​his family and companions, and Whitebeard is strong enough. Without Roger, he will be the uncrowned king of the sea.

Staying in such a pirate group is the most likely way to obtain the Dark Fruit.

So Blackbeard joined the Whitebeard Pirates with this purpose in mind.

However, during his more than 20 years in the Whitebeard Pirates, Blackbeard was cared for by many people on Whitebeard's ship, and his heart gradually softened. He liked the atmosphere on the Moby-Dick very much.

In the end, Blackbeard decided that if he couldn't find the fruit, he would stay on the ship for the rest of his life.

However, fate played a huge joke on Blackbeard. Just when Blackbeard was preparing to spend the rest of his life on the Moby-Dick, the Dark Fruit actually appeared.

Blackbeard just looked at the dark fruit in Sachi's hand, and the extinguished flame in his heart rose again.

The moment he saw the fruit, Blackbeard knew that he was dead on the Moby-Dick.

Blackbeard's suppressed ambition for many years completely exploded at this moment, and he knew this was his only chance.

On Whitebeard's ship, the person who gets the fruit first has the first right to eat the fruit. He does not allow the slightest chance that the fruit will be eaten by others.

In fact, Blackbeard knew very well that if he went to Thatch and told him that he wanted to eat this Devil Fruit, Thatch would give him the fruit without hesitation.

The Whitebeard Pirates are all such fools, and Sachi will never refuse if he asks.

But Blackbeard didn't want to go with Sachi to get this fruit, because he wanted to completely cut off the bonds he had with the Whitebeard Pirates over the years. Only by cutting off the bonds could he change back to his past self, and he would do it regardless.

own plan.

That night, most of the Whitebeard Pirates who had a party late were drunk and lying staggering on the deck.

At this time, thunder was rolling in the sky, and Blackbeard came to Saatchi's room with a sharp knife, killed Saatchi who was defenseless, and took away the fruit.

The Whitebeard Pirates, who were extremely drunk after the banquet, did not notice Sachi's death.

He didn't even notice Blackbeard's departure.

Accompanied by bursts of thunder in the dark night, a small boat sailed away from Moby Dick. From today on, Blackbeard Marshall D. Teach officially embarked on a different path.

The next day, Ace, who was still hungover, rubbed his swollen head and came to the kitchen to ask for a bowl of hangover soup from Sage.

But Sage, who was always diligent, was not in the kitchen today. Ace scratched his head and looked for Sage with a domineering look.

But what Ace didn't expect was that with all his knowledge, he didn't find any trace of Thatchi.

An ominous premonition arose in Ace's heart. He rushed into Sage's room and saw Sage lying in a pool of blood.

"Thatch!"

Ace's cry awakened everyone on the Moby-Dick.

Whitebeard and the other captains rushed to Thatch's room immediately.

When they saw Sachi lying in a pool of blood, their faces were full of disbelief.

"This...how could this happen! Sachi...Marco, what are you doing standing still? Hurry up and save people!" Joz shouted to Marco.

"It's useless, Sachi is already dead, and my flames can't save him." Marco said with red eyes.

"Who killed Thatch? Did someone board the Moby-Dick last night while we were drunk and secretly kill Thatch?" Izo asked with a shocked look on his face.

"Impossible! If someone sneaks on the ship, even if we don't know it, Dad and Marco will definitely be able to find out. They didn't react, which means..." Namuir said

It stopped abruptly halfway.

Because Namuir couldn't believe that it was his companions on the ship who killed Sage.

The cabin fell into silence for a while.

After a while, Whitebeard broke the silence: "You go and check your respective squads first to see if anyone is missing."

The captains nodded after hearing this and went to check the number of people.

An hour later, the number of people on the Moby Dick was completed, and only Teach from the second division disappeared on the entire ship.

Everyone on the Moby-Dick didn't believe that Teach would do such a thing, because Teach had been on the ship more than 20 years ago.

He and the Whitebeard Pirates have gone through so many ups and downs that his father even thought about letting him serve as the captain of the Whitebeard Pirates' second division.

"This...how is this possible! How could Teach do such a thing? Is it a mistake?" Bista asked with a shocked look on his face.

"I just checked. Nothing is missing from Thatch's room, except that the Devil Fruit he got yesterday has disappeared." Bista said.

"Bista, you mean that Teach killed Sachi because of this fruit?" Marco asked.

"That's impossible! If Teach wants this fruit, just ask Thatch directly. Thatch will never refuse." Ace immediately retorted.

"That's true, but is there a possibility that Teach will directly attack Thachi, just to cut off the bond with us? I have met similar people before, if Teach is also willing to sacrifice everything for a certain purpose

As a person, it is understandable that he would take action against Saatchi."

After listening to Bista's words, everyone on the Moby Dick fell silent again.
