"Dad, I'm too stupid, I should have seen Tic"
"I have known Ditch for a longer time than you! I didn't see that he is such a person. If, as you said, then the mistake will still be attributed to me!"
Whitebeard interrupted Marco again. He looked up at the captains of the ranks and crew members under their command and said, "I will give Sachi and Tic an explanation for this matter, but now."
"Dad! Me"
In the Totland sea, Katakuri, who was crossing his legs and enjoying breakfast, looked at the newspaper brought by Perospero, and was not shocked, just said:
"Family. Family members who are not connected by blood have no family affection."
"Then we don't care?"
Perospero was a little confused, but Katakuli shook his head and said, "It's not that you don't care. Block the Totland waters. Once Marshall D. Tichi is found, you can arrest him with all your might!"
"Forehead"
Perrospero was even more confused. After all, his younger brother showed a look of not being interested, but he had such a lot of trouble. What is this for?
Katakuli saw his elder brother's confusion expression and said, "Pirates will rebel. You and I know this very well, but I will not rebel. Whether the Tic exchanges for 2 billion Baileys is worth it, it is up to Whitebeard to decide whether it is worth it.
Moreover, that guy may not dare to come here."
After saying that, Katakuri picked up the pink liquid on the table and took a sip, and frowned immediately.
Good guy, which sister's prank is it today? Add salt to strawberry milk?!! Kekatakuli still drank a whole cup of sea salt strawberry milk. No, it was his sister who made it for him.
Deep in the new world, because Bailey was gone on the boat, it was rare to have no alcohol last night, and the Red-haired Pirates who were rarely awake early in the morning. At this time, everyone's faces were very serious.
Captain Shanks held the newspaper, and the solemn expression appeared on his face than ever before.
Even when Skyler almost cut him off with one hand, he was not so serious. It was obviously just one thing that would happen between the pirates, but in his eyes, it seemed to have different meanings.
The next time Shanks raised his left hand and touched the three scars on his left eye. He rarely mentioned the origin of this scar to others.
Many people even think that these three scars were caused by him duel with Hawkeye Mihawk or Lady Grey Skyler. After all, according to intelligence analysis, these three should have had social interactions twenty years ago, in Roger's execution ground.
As the mad look of the two "world's No. 1 swordsman" duel sounded, the aura that wanted to really kill each other, even if he wanted to die, it seemed normal to leave Shanks a few scars.
But only a very few people know where these three scars on Shanks' face came from.
Marshall D. Tidd, the pirate who has been a transparent man for twenty-five years in the Whitebeard Pirates, the inconspicuous pirate was the one who brought three scars to Shanks.
"I feel like this era is really going to go wild."
Putting down his hand, Shanks suddenly said this, and Beckman's upper lip moved, making his two nasolabial folds deeper, and then said, "What should we do now?"
"Wait and see Whitebeard's reaction, this era can no longer stand the tossing."
Shanks said, looking to the east, frowned and silent, stopping talking.
In the windless belt, Skyler sat not far from the warship undergoing transformation. Leon served her dishes and a smile appeared on her face as she listened to Nurkic's report.
He used a fork to raise a piece of bacon and was about to put it into his mouth, but Skyler stopped, put down the fork and said, "It's very interesting. I can't wait to see what's going on."
After saying that, Skyler started to have breakfast. Nurkic, who was holding the newspaper, looked very complicated, surprised, confused, admired, and various emotions were intertwined.
Just a week ago, Skyler suddenly gave him an order, which was to find a pirate ship to put the modified tooth fruit in it, and then do not attack the pirate ship, and let the pirate ship enter the white bearded sea.
At that time, Nurkic couldn't figure out what Skyler was doing. After all, putting the fruit into the pirate ship, the ignorant pirates would definitely be ecstatic and choose to take it or auction it.
For the Navy, the best result is that the pirates on the ship engage in internal fighting due to the issue of sharing spoils, which leads to a great loss of strength or even disintegration of the pirate group.
If it is just for this, then the warships of Zhanye Detachment can be driven out and a few shots can be done, or even better.
Therefore, in Nurkic's view, Skyler spent a great price to make Deborah transform a dark fruit that few people knew at all, and then sent him into the new world. This is a completely profitable approach.
After all, even that tooth fruit is quite precious. If you meet some curious dragon people when you are auctioned, you might even be able to sell it for a good price.
But Skyler sent the teeth fruit into the new world in this way. Nurkic a week ago did not understand this operation at all.
But as an excellent adjutant, Nurkic still completed the task of Skyler, unknowingly put the fruit on a certain pirate ship, and it was not very hidden, and it belonged to the type that could be found just by searching.
I thought the Navy would end up losing a demon fruit in the end, but in just a few years, Skyler's move, which no one could understand, has gained.
Not to mention whether the captain of the fourth tier of the Whitebeard Pirates is worth the price of a devil fruit, just say that emotionally, Nurkic was very happy to see a captain of the Whitebeard Pirates die.
Even after more than ten years, Nurkic often dreams of the year, the blades that were added to his colleagues.
The Zhanye Detachment and the Whitebeard Pirates have been together in the New World for more than ten years. It is not because they don’t want to live and dare not cause trouble, but because the Navy cannot take the initiative to tear up the treaty. Perhaps it is ridiculous to say the reason, but the Navy still needs face.
Nurkic never forgot those days, after all, the names of his colleagues were engraved on the warship where he lived day and night!
Nurkic did not understand how Skyler calculated this step accurately, but paid a fruit that was not very practical, and directly killed a captain of the Whitebeard Pirates, and could cause chaos in the Whitebeard Pirates.
Emotionally, Nurkic thinks it's worth it.
Moreover, Nurkic has always thought that his commander was not as simple as his appearance. Skyler just thought about deeper and farther chess, and had no time to pay attention to the situation in front of him.
Sure enough, when it comes to strategy, his superiors have the same talent in strategy as her in swordsmanship. There is no trace of antelope hanging on their horns, but it can make people admire them.
But Nurkic still couldn't figure out why his chief made such a plan.
After all, it's really too wild.
Why is it this time? Why is it the dark fruit? And why is it considered that the pirate named Tic killing his "companion" because of this fruit?
But suddenly, Nurkic recalled a very critical point, that is, it was probably during the New Year last year that Rosinandi mentioned the abnormality of the Whitebeard Pirates to his commander.
At that time, Rosinandi seemed to say that the Whitebeard Pirates had an economic shortage, so they would rob the passing pirates to fill the economic gap!
Could it be that his commander just used such inconspicuous news as Rosinandi to determine that the fruits he "mailed" through other pirate ships would be intercepted and plundered by the Whitebeard Pirates?!
But what about the others?!
Nurkic fell into deep thought, thinking that his commander would control this action thousands of miles away.
Just as he was trying hard to recall, he finally gained something. This was also an information from a long time ago, even much earlier than Rosinandi's information!
When the Navy was handling the follow-up matters of Clockdal, as Skyler's adjutant, Nurkic naturally also participated.
Just before Akainu General captured Clockdal, Clockdal mentioned that when Skyler was fifteen years old, he had already "sworded" the white beard.
In other words, Skyler’s social interaction with the Whitebeard Pirates was not what everyone thought before. Skyler did not socialize with the Whitebeard Pirates when he was eighteen years old.
Three years before the Justice Expedition, that is, the year when Skyler joined the Navy, Skyler had socialized with Whitebeard, and
Nurkic recalled another point. Twenty-one years ago, when Clockdal had just become the Seven Warlords and Skyler just entered the Navy, in an interview, mentioned that the scar on his face was caused by Skyler.
So is there a possibility that the chief began to "execute justice" before joining the Navy at the age of fifteen. At that time, Skyler had conflicts with Clockdal and the Whitebeard Pirates respectively?
Skyler injured Clockdal, but there was no information from the Whitebeard Pirates, which means that Skyler was most likely not hurting the Whitebeard Pirates.
But it is certain that the two sides have had an intersection, so the chief of his family may have known at that time that the white-bearded Tic is now betrayed by the white-bearded!
Has it been a chess move that spans twenty-one years?!
"Guru~"
Nurkic suddenly swallowed, and everyone else was saying that it was not too late for a gentleman to take revenge for ten years, but his chief, after spanning twenty-one years, was still using those clues to weave a network to revenge?!
If this is true, then his adjutant is really far from keeping up with his superiors?!
Skyler did not notice Nurkic's increasingly shocked and admired eyes. She was having breakfast happily at this time. After all, the priority information in her memory was monetized, allowing Skyler to regain her sense of superiority as a time traveler.
As for doing this next time? She was a little confused. After all, the timeline she was in was already unrecognizable because of her existence.
Ace became a naval general, and Whitebeard "lost her beloved son". Skyler didn't know who would come out to replace Ace in the White Group.
After all, Ace was the youngest and most reckless person in the White Group at that time. If Ace was not there, Skyler really couldn't think of anyone in the White Group who would rather go against Whitebeard's will than come out to arrest Tic.
Skyler felt that she had used up all her "foresight" and she had experienced too many things that she had not disclosed when she was chasing comics in her previous life, which made her feel that Oda had been bayonetizing her back.
But Skyler didn't know how to do it, but Nurkic knew how to do it. He asked tentatively: "Sir, will we be searching for Marshall Tic next?"
"What's your mind?"
As a person who has no ideas, Skyler is good at listening to other people's ideas, but Nurkic thinks this is a test for himself. He reviewed it in his heart before speaking:
"Sir, I think we should find Tic before the Whitebeard Pirates finds him, and then give him some chance to return to the first half of the Great Waterway and disclose this news.
By then, the Whitebeard Pirates would have to face a dilemma, either choosing to tear up the treaty and cross our 219 nautical miles, or they would have to let Tichi survive, resulting in a decline in reputation.
And if Whitebeard doesn't move, some dissatisfaction will arise in the Whitebeard Pirates.
After all, Whitebeard cherishes his companions more than anyone else, but he "abandoned" Kozuki Oden. In that incident, it can be said that the intelligence and conditions of the Whitebeard Pirates were limited, and the enemy was also very powerful.
But this time, if Whitebeard is unwilling to avenge his "son", then his "son" will not be so precious. If the Whitebeard Pirates are disloyal, there will be riots and chaos in the Whitebeard Sea at that time."
Nurkic said it carefully, afraid that she had said something wrong, Skyler also frowned throughout the whole process. She understood what Nurkic said, but she didn't like this plan very much.
Because she had never thought of letting Ditch survive, find him, and then kill him, that was Skyler's idea.
She didn't want to trigger any war on the top. After all, she knew what would happen on the top war. The white beard was indeed old, but it could still cause a lot of harm to the navy.
Perhaps this time, with her, Zhanye Detachment, and a new generation of generals like Ace and Luo, and Cap, who has no burden, will be able to do it easier and more perfectly if you fight the war again.
But winning a war does not mean that it is worth it. After all, war is composed of battles, and there will still be a large number of navy, who died under the angry white-bearded men because of the navy's decision.
Moreover, in the end, Whitebeard will help Roger prove it again that the existence of the so-called "one piece" secret treasure killed countless navy lives just to kill Whitebeard, but it opened the climax of the era of the Great Pirates. Is this worth it?
"Let's find Marshall D. Tich first, let's talk about it later."
