I, Sakazuki, Will Not Take a Dog Easily

"Temporary!!" Unexpectedly, it seemed that all the sailors at the other end of the screen were quite dissatisfied with this, and complained in unison:

"The real card is strung on the lizard's tail!!"

452. Traitor (Part 1)

At an altitude of 10,000 meters above the East China Sea, the confrontation between two huge fleets is in full swing.

No one has ever noticed the sea below the clouds. In the battle zone where most people are afraid to avoid, there is a small boat standing and watching.

There are two people on it occupying the prow and stern of this simple and crude boat. These two people seem to be old friends who have known each other for many years, and they are also like opponents who have been guarding against each other for a long time.

At first glance, this weird and contradictory temporary "combination" seems unreasonable and awkward everywhere.

Rather than wait and see, it is better to say confrontation, reminiscence, or ulterior motives.

"Is it really okay if you don't go to help?" After a moment of silence, the middle-aged man standing at the stern grinned loudly, allowing people to clearly see the missing teeth in his mouth.

He stared at the half-squatting bow of the boat, looking like a dead fish-eyed brother: "It's obvious that Dad is in trouble, but he still stays here and insists on making trouble for me, Captain Marco, this is not your style." ah!"

With a slightly non-mainstream pineapple head on his head, as if he was dozing off all day long, the big pirate known as the first person under the Four Emperors lowered his eyelids and twitched his mouth casually: "Tichi, what do you think?" What is my usual style?"

Facing the guy who seemed to be fooling around, Blackbeard, who had obtained the dark fruit, still didn't dare to take it lightly. If he really wanted to face the long-famous phoenix Marko at this moment, he thought he would not lose to the opponent, but it would be quite troublesome.

The dark fruit dares to be called the most vicious devil fruit in the world, so it naturally has its own advantages.

This kind of darkness with a strong gravitational force can suck in, compress and crush everything that comes into contact with it.

Not only that, if you touch the body of an ability user with your hand, no matter what type of devil fruit it is, it will temporarily lose its ability.

But even with all the advantages in this way, Tiqi can't guarantee that he can secure Marco.

As the phoenix fruit of the animal phantom beast species, it is not too great to be restrained by the dark fruit naturally.

Even if the ability is nullified during contact, as long as Marco gets rid of the control, he can easily heal his injuries by relying on the undead flame.

Looking around the world, few people dare to say that they can defeat the phoenix Marko in this battle of attrition.

Moreover, even if the many additional gains brought about by the fruit ability are excluded, there are almost no shortcomings in Marco's excellent strength.

Physical skills, armed domineering, and knowledge-like domineering are all well-trained, and the combat experience is absolutely rich.

As one of the most senior captains of the Whitebeard Pirates, Marco has experienced many battles.

Which of the other three emperors and their cadres had never fought against Marco?

The [Admiral], who is respected as the highest combat power by the world government and the Navy headquarters, has more or less confronted him. He even participated in the siege operation against the general Akainu.

Needless to say, being able to retreat from the hands of these monsters has already demonstrated his ability.

"According to your style..." Blackbeard stared at the other party with his eyes straight, and raised his finger to the sky: "I thought you would be more considerate of the overall situation, Captain."

Marco, the phoenix who was chatting with this traitor, applauded when he heard the words:

"Exactly, and I'm 'looking after the big picture' right now."

The captain of the first team of the Whitebeard Pirates stared at the other party with deep meaning: "This matter is all because of you, and taking you back is the job ordered by the father himself."

Till this time, Tiki frowned slightly in surprise. He originally thought that it was the captain's personal grievance that Marco was chasing him all the way, but who would have realized that it was the order personally issued by Edward Newgate with the white beard.

But unfortunately, it is just a childlike naive delusion to talk about the matter now: "I will not go back with you, Captain Marco."

Five years ago, the Whitebeard Pirates were the main attackers on the frontal battlefield. The whole regiment brought more than 40 pirates under its command, and almost all of its combat power was in the front line to consume with the two elite regiments of the Navy Headquarters.

Not to mention that the entire army of the pirate group attached to them was wiped out, even the official crew members of the four main ships of the Whitebeard Pirates suffered heavy losses, and the captains suffered a lot from the highly targeted siege by the generals of the headquarters. Save one.

But whoever can survive that kind of battlefield in the end will naturally not be a mediocre person.

During these five years, the Black Sail Alliance has repeatedly proposed to give these powerful old pirates certain powers and promote them to middle-level cadres. Although Marco has always been vaguely aware that Tiqi is deliberately hiding his strength, but it is true that Tiqi injured the [Foil Sword], which undoubtedly surprised everyone.

Marko obviously expected such an answer, but Phoenix was ordered to honestly convey the words Whitebeard asked him to convey to this scheming and cunning pirate:

"Tichi, Dad doesn't want to find out what your purpose is, and he doesn't want to know why you hide your strength. The Black Sail Alliance is currently short of young and strong experts..."

Unexpectedly, Tiqi waved his hand very simply and refused:

"I know better than you what my current situation is. I have lost the protection of the Black Sail Alliance and White Beard's prestige. If the Navy Headquarters really intends to attack me, even if my strength is comparable to that of the Four Emperors, I will not be able to survive the interception and killing of me by the general. "

Marco frowned upon hearing this, and Tiqi really had enough careful calculation and assessment of the situation before this action.

But in this way, this person's actions became more and more strange.

In order to clarify the confusion in his heart, apart from the task of persuading Tiqi to return to Marco's trip, there are also two questions that he has never figured out:

"You and I both know that Vista won't eat that fruit at all. If you ask him for it sincerely, with your years of seniority on board and the image of a good guy who has worked so hard to maintain it, I believe Vista has a lot to offer." There is a high probability that I will directly choose to give you the fruit."

Undead Firebird scratched his head in distress: "Why did you choose to injure him, take the fruit and escape from the boat? With your scheming, I don't believe you can't think of such a solution."

The black beard who maintained a vigilant posture just smiled, took out a bottle of fine wine stuck in his wide belt, pulled out the cork and took a few swigs.

Breathing out a strong breath of alcohol, this ambitious "traitor" sighed softly: "Because the new world now needs to show its weakness to the enemy!!!

I can't imagine waiting another three to five years. [The two poles] The status quo collapsed, and I was wiped out by the navy headquarters' expedition? At that time, even if I become the One Piece, I will be nothing more than a toy that the navy can squash and round!!"

"Huh?" Marco just tilted his head expressionlessly, carefully chewing the message conveyed by Tiqi's words.

"Everything I do is to continue the life of the Black Sail Alliance! As long as we can transfer the main force of the Navy Headquarters for three to five years, we may be able to continue to occupy the territory of the New World." In a few words, Tiqi He sketched out the prototype of his huge plan.

As the right arm of Whitebeard and the de facto second in command of the whole regiment, Marco has a keen political sense and is quite handy in various schemes.

Just through the many information contained in this sentence, he already had an insight into the real deep meaning behind these strange actions of Tiqi.

The big pirate group headed by the Black Sail Alliance entrenched in the waters of the New World does have the strength and background to directly compete with the Navy Headquarters.

But in recent years, the organization has faced numerous internal contradictions. The major pirate groups are trying their best to maximize their own interests, secretly calculating and suspicious of each other.

Marco has already smelled the obscure aura hidden in the dark, and this stemming from the internal decline and power struggle of the organization will become more and more obvious in the future.

The internal entanglement of the pirates is constant, but the military organization such as the Navy Headquarters is in the same breath. This kind of situation is about to become a foregone conclusion.

Especially when Marko knows that Papa Whitebeard and Shiji the Golden Lion are getting worse day by day, the Black Sail Alliance is in urgent need of young people who can take over the burden from the older generations such as Whitebeard and Golden Lion .

But now, a ruthless reality of embarrassment is placed before their eyes.

What Blackbeard said is not wrong, and the comparison of the new generation level of the two sides is even more clear at a glance. The Navy Headquarters is in an absolute crush.

The Black Sail Alliance will face the dilemma of having no successors.

"Transfer the main force of the Navy Headquarters for three to five years?" Marko repeated Tiqi's previous remarks, but gradually became clear about his wishful thinking.
