The bloody hand Mary of the pirate

"Huh? I haven't said anything yet."

Mary raised her eyebrows and grinned.

"I don't know if that's what you mean, but no matter what you brought me here to do, I have to ask this question."

Mihawk half-squinted his eyes: "You don't really want to destroy all the pirates here, do you? - Although you can do it."

"But this is also a strain on the navy."

Regarding Mihawk's statement, Mary did not comment or disagree, but just looked at him leisurely.

"You are definitely against the World Government. Almost anyone with a discerning eye can see this, but I don't know how far you have gone." Mihawk muttered, "Now is an opportunity for the World Government to declare war on the Desert Alliance."

"At this moment, you cannot use too much of your strength to fight the pirates."

"After all, the threat of pirates pales in comparison to the world government."

When Mihawk said this, he paused for a moment, then stared at Mary, waiting for her to continue.

"That's right, Mihawk."

Mary nodded: "I do want to kill all pirates, but now is obviously not a good time."

"I am basically confident that I have fully mastered the navy. The next war is against the World Government. Fighting with you pirates at this time will consume too much power and it will be too much.

.”

"The current strength of the navy must be reserved to deal with the World Government, and the same goes for pirates——"

"This is my standard for releasing people."

Mary half-closed her eyes.

[Unite all possible forces at home and abroad] - This is what a great man once said. For Mary, pirates are not a force that can be united, but if they can be used, they might as well use them.

In the past, Mary would definitely not think in this direction, because pirates are anti-power and anti-government at heart after all, and such a force is basically uncontrollable.

But the pirates at that time were a huge group, a behemoth that could compete with the navy, and were completely different from the pirates of today.

But now, Mary was suddenly confident that she could control the pirates.

In other words, she is not sure of controlling the [pirates], but she is sure of controlling some of the [strong men].

After this battle, the last system of pirates will be completely destroyed. And the completely shattered [pirate culture] will no longer be able to gather people's hearts.

What qualifications does a pirate with his spine and bones have broken have to maintain his true nature?

This is Mary's idea - she wants to completely destroy the pirate system here, and then let the very few strong people who can be effective in the future war leave.

This suppressed the intensity of the war and also allowed the navy's losses to be slightly smaller.

Of course, Mary knows that there are risks in doing this. After all, she can't guarantee that the pirates she defeated will not join the world government. So she still has to keep some who fit the temperament of the pirates.

Backhand.

"I don't always kill pirates. I also let a pirate named Luo go before."

"I can let the red-haired pirates leave, and I can let you leave."

"Everyone else has to stay."

"I will divide the battlefield next. If you find an opportunity, take that group of people away. If you can't take them away, don't blame my men for being ruthless."

"make a deal."

Mihawk nodded expressionlessly.

He knew that Mary's ability to do this was already the biggest concession. After all, the other party was always known for being extremely cruel to pirates.

This time is an exception. After all, Mary has given him enough space.

But even so, Mihawk knew what it meant to do so, and the price he had to pay was heavy.

"It's such a pleasure, why don't you consider bargaining with me?"

Mary asked.

"No need, everyone knows your character."

Mihawk replied calmly.

And for him, he didn't have much friendship with the Golden Lions. The reason why he participated in this battle was just because of the red hair.

Mary smiled, shrugged slightly, and then her face turned cold.

"However, just because I do this doesn't mean I'll let the redhead go, Mihawk."

"When this war is over, I will still go to Shanks."

"That will happen later too."

Mihawk looked at Mary coldly.

"At least now you still need our help. To be honest, I don't want to be your enemy, but it's a pity..."

"There's nothing to say. Everyone chooses a different path." Mary twisted her neck, "Whether it's forced or active, don't regret it since you became a pirate."

"...you guy..."

"Okay, let's talk to Shanks when the time comes. I will go find him alone after everything is over."

Mary sneered: "Didn't he wrap all his obsessions on me? In that case, I will end everything myself. Whether Roger wants him to overthrow the world government or follow fate, I don't know, but I

I know that at least Ace, Luffy and the others don't want to follow their fate."

"Ace, Luffy?"

Mihawk frowned.

He knew who Ace was, but who was Luffy?

Why do we talk about these two people when we are having a good chat?

"Anyway, just make my attitude clear to Shanks. This is the only chance I give him. To be honest, I am absolutely confident that I will completely wipe out the pirates this time, but there is no need for it now."

Mary shrugged, "I am telling you this in the hope that Shanks can let go of his pride. Times have changed."

"..."

Mihawk sighed, "I will make it clear to him, but..."

"No but, if Shanks comes to trouble me in the future, then I won't give him another chance."

Mary hummed and said, "Even if it's a one-on-one fight, I can't go out with all my strength to kill him, right?"

"Oh, by the way, Mihawk, remember to tell Shanks something when you go back."

"What?"

Mihawk raised his eyebrows and glanced.

"Tell him that he is not unique and special. I am also a Celestial Dragon."

Mihawk was stunned for a moment.

He does know the identity of Mary Tianlong - he has known it since ten years ago.

But now Mary suddenly said this...

"Why, you don't know?"

Looking at Mihawk's confused gaze, Mary tilted her head.

"After working with Shanks for so many years, don't you know that Shanks is also a Celestial Dragon?"

"..."

"ha?"

"Shanks is a Celestial Dragon born in the Valley of Gods."

Mary snapped her fingers: "So I just want him to know if he is the only one in this world who is so special."

"Well, of course, it's up to you whether you want to tell him this or not, I don't care."

"..."

Mihawk, who was a little confused under the huge amount of information, could only nodded stiffly in the end.

"I see……"

…

"Fire Fist——"

"boom!"

The flames dissipated, and Ace gasped and looked at the man in black in front of him.

Famine just looked at Ace with a smile. Except for a few holes burned by the flames on his body, there seemed to be nothing serious.

"What a flexible pace... You have a lot of combat experience, and your strength is not weak..."

Ace wiped his sweat and said in a cold voice: "One of the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse of the World Government—a person who can bear this name is really not much different."

"You also surprise me. You can have such strength at such a young age."

Famine said sarcastically: "I consider myself to be the strongest among Apocalypse...should I be said to be worthy of Roger's bloodline?"

"Stop comparing me to that man. I, Ace, am Ace, not that man!"

Ace scolded in a cold voice: "One by one, they are all like this..."

"Don't attribute all my efforts to one person, you bastard!"

The blazing white flame ignited again.

"Even if I talk about my father, my father will only have a white beard!"

"Talent has nothing to do with blood - are Roger's fathers some great people!?"

"Today's four emperors, generals, these top figures, are their fathers some great figures!?"

】

"Stop joking!"

"I am me, Firefist Ace, Portcas D. Ace!"

"Fire Fist!"

"Point the gun and break the precept."

Facing the fire fist coming towards him fiercely, Fengfang calmly pointed his finger.

A sharp finger gun instantly broke through the fire fist, and then passed through Ace's shoulder.

Ace's eyes narrowed slightly.

The flames expanded, and the explosive light drowned out the famine.

After the flames burned, a black figure emerged.

"You are...no...you are famine...but..."

Ace was suddenly startled, staring blankly at the completely different image of Famine in front of him.

At this time, Famine is no longer the previous image wearing a black suit and half a black mask. Instead, he has long purple hair and is wearing a large windbreaker with a tattered hem but with a wild flavor.

On the left side of the cheek is a split lip, and on the right side is a centipede-like tattoo crawling on the face.

"Oh, is it weird? Well, I didn't tell you before. The one I've been fighting with you all this time is my substitute."

Famine put his hands in his pockets and looked at Ace leisurely.

"My fruit is a substitute fruit - well, what's that look in your eyes? Hehe, I won't tell you about my fruit's ability in such a stupid way."

He leaned down, with that ungrateful smile on his face again.

It was after seeing this smile that Ace was sure——

Well, that's right, although he looks completely different, this guy is still the same Famine just now.

"I haven't met such an interesting young man in probably decades. Well, his name was Silbaz Reilly last time?"

"But that guy doesn't have a life experience like yours."

Fengfang scratched his head, touched his palms a little and then smiled:

"It's very difficult to deny your own bloodline - in my opinion, you don't have this ability."

"Hehehehehe..."

"Unless you can beat me here, but this is a dream, right?"

"..."

Seeing the crazy famine, Ace felt a little embarrassed to start.

After all, after so many years of exploring the sea, Ace still has some experience in judging people.

This kind of crazy guy is either extremely difficult to deal with, or he is a lunatic.

Judging from the strength revealed after fighting Famine for such a long time... the other party definitely cannot be a lunatic.

Is it a substitute fruit? Is the guy I fought with just now the opponent's substitute? It looks a little different from the original character.

This fruit should have the ability to be both the main body and the substitute, otherwise it would be impossible for me to completely miss the arrival of the other party and the disappearance of the substitute.

In that case, will the strength of the main body be different from the main body...

"call!"

Before he could finish thinking about it, Ace suddenly felt a strong wind blowing towards him!

"this--"

So fast...

It was so fast that I couldn't even make any reaction actions.

"boom!!!"

Famine's face slammed into Ace's face, huge force came from the opponent's arm, and the next moment, Ace's body was slammed into the sand.

The next moment, Famine raised his arms.

Ace subconsciously put his arms in front of his face.

"Dongdongdongdongdong——"

Rain-like fists hit both arms, each one as heavy as a mountain.

Faced with this attack that was like a gust of wind and rain, Ace found it difficult to even breathe.

"this……"

"Hehehehehe... Right, right, I forgot to tell you -"

"This is my stand-in too!"

The force of Famine's punch suddenly increased and hit Ace hard in the abdomen.

"Pfft-"

Ace spat out a mouthful of saliva, and barely a mouthful of blood came out.

Hungry clamped his neck violently, lifted him up, and then slammed him on the beach on the other side.

"I can turn everyone I kill into my substitute, including you!"

"These avatars can possess all your abilities except Devil Fruit - including your Haki."

"Hey, don't you feel a little bit useless? What's the use of using someone I can kill as a substitute?"

Famine grabbed Ace's face with his hands, and then ravaged it crazily.

"But I just love doing it. Collecting my favorite avatars is my favorite thing to do."

"After all, screenwriters like to treat their characters as puppets."

"Are you right!?"

"If I have one more child of the Pirate King in my collection——"

"Isn't that also a very interesting thing!?"

"You're right, Ace!!!"

"——"

"Buzz——"

"boom!"

The flames swept up and flew up. Fengfang opened his eyes and immediately jumped away.

This time the fire wave was more terrifying than before, and the desert was slowly eroded, turning into pieces of crystal clear glass.

Ace was covered in bruises and coughed up blood. He rubbed the sore muscles all over his body and stood up unsteadily.

"Sure enough, no wonder I felt that you and I were completely at odds with each other from the beginning..."

He grinned and said, then raised his head and roared filial piety angrily:

"What I hate the most is people like you, people like you who enjoy playing with others!"

"The so-called sinful bloodline and the fate that that terrible father placed on me forced me to bow my head, and guys like you also want to force me onto that path."

"But, I will destroy you!"

"I am not something you can define by anything, the child of the Pirate King, the child of the Pirate King or anything like that -"

"Stop talking nonsense!"

"Roger is nothing to me. I will let you see where the difference between me and him is!"
