Pirate's Fire Dragon's Claw

Chapter 296 The Lost Whitebeard Pirates

New World, the residence of the Whitebeard Pirates, a banquet is being held here, Ace is sitting with several captains, looking quite happy
"squeak~"

The sound of the door opening sounded, and Marco walked in slowly from the door
"Yo, Marco, come and have a drink"

Seeing Marco, Joz, who was facing Ace, waved his remaining left hand (Joz's right arm was severely frostbitten by Aokiji in the war on the top, so it had to be amputated) and greeted Marco.
Marco raised the corner of his mouth and smiled, walked to Ace and Joz and sat down, Ace picked up a wine glass and filled it to Marco and said with a smile:
"Come on, have a drink"

Marco didn't take the wine glass in Ace's hand, but directly picked up a large jug of wine beside him, pulled the lid off, and drank it all in one gulp.
Seeing Marco like this, the smile on Ace's face gradually faded, he put down the wine glass in his hand, and said with a little melancholy:

"Who is it this time?"

Marco replied in a flat tone:

"Brothers Doma and Dikalban"

Ace fell back, lying on the ground, looking up at the ceiling

"Even they're gone"

Everyone who was originally happy fell silent at this time. After a long time, a man lowered his head and said in a slightly crying tone:

"sorry"

Hearing the man's words, Joz suddenly stood up and was about to hit the man who spoke

"Joz!"

Marco yelled to stop Joz, Joz's fist stopped a few centimeters above the man's head, trembling slightly because of too much force

"boom"

In the end, Joz smashed a wine barrel next to the man with a powerful punch, and sawdust and wine splashed everywhere, covering the man's body, but the man didn't complain at all, instead, he lowered his head even deeper, repeating
"sorry Sorry sorry"

Ace sat up from the lying position, put his arms around the man's neck, raised his wine glass with the other hand and laughed and said:
"Why are you all so sad, now it's a banquet, please be happy at the banquet, Jin Gudo, you are the protagonist, hurry up and toast everyone."

Jingudo, who was embraced by Ace, wiped his tears, picked up the wine glass and poured several large glasses of wine, his face gradually turned red, and danced drunkenly with Ace, being driven by the two, the banquet It's getting lively again

Finally, the huge room was full of drunk pirates, but Jinguduo stood up slowly at this moment, walked to the door, looked back reluctantly, and finally walked out of the room

As soon as Jingudo left, Ace and Marco sat up. Ace pulled down the hat on his head to cover his face. His shoulders began to shake. Marco sighed and put his arms around Ace. shoulders, the things in front of me began to become foggy

When the Top War just ended, the remnants of the Whitebeard Pirates returned to the New World and immediately became the street rats that everyone shouted and beat. The major forces in the New World headed by Kaido and Big Mom began to crazily encroach on the Whitebeard Sea. bandit territory

The pirates who have lost Whitebeard are their opponents, they can only retreat steadily, and finally linger on several islands at the edge of Whitebeard's territory under the cover of Shanks

After losing Whitebeard, Marco and Ace took over the management of the Pirates. The two thought that the situation would gradually improve as time went by, but a year later, the situation not only did not improve, but also became worse and worse.

The first is the navy. After the war on the top, the navy began to recruit troops from all over the world. It recruited many hidden powerhouses, such as the new general Fujitora and Green Bull. The combat effectiveness of the navy is even stronger than when the Warring States period was led

After quelling the pirates of the Four Seas Riot, the Navy turned its attention to the new world, to the remnants of the Whitebeard Pirates
The Navy will never allow the Whitebeard Pirates to make a comeback, not to mention that the leader of the Whitebeard Pirates is still Ace, the son of the One Piece, so the remnants of the Whitebeard Pirates are completely exterminated.
Then there are other forces in the new world such as Kaido and BIG MOM. They don’t want the Whitebeard Pirates to make a comeback, so they have been chasing and killing the remnants of the Whitebeard Pirates. If Shanks didn’t help, I’m afraid Ace They don't even have a place to stay now
What made it even worse was the new Shichibukai, Edward Weibull, who claimed to be the son of Whitebeard. The pirate group under the regiment was destroyed by him

Moreover, the Navy also jointly announced with Kaido and BIG MOM that any pirate who quit the Whitebeard Pirates can no longer be hunted down, and even the bounty on them can be cancelled.
Pirates all advocate freedom, and no one wants to spend the rest of their lives in fear on a few small islands, so some people began to quit the Whitebeard Pirates, and if there was a leader, this matter could not stop
In one year, the original 43 pirate groups under Whitebeard were either destroyed or withdrawn, and now there are less than 10 left. The two names that Marco just mentioned are among the remaining pirate groups. two of
Not only the pirates under the banner, but even the captains of the various teams have quit. There were only 16 of the original 10 teams, and the Jin Gudo who just left is the captain of the 11th team.

As the saying goes, getting together and getting together, in order to dilute the sadness of parting, Marco and Ace will hold a banquet to see them off when each captain leaves. Although everyone is very happy at the banquet, but every time the banquet is over, They will hide and cry secretly for a long time
Ace and Marco stopped crying after a while, and Marco sighed and said:
"I don't know how long we can last"

"It would be nice if Dad was still there"

"Who said no? If the old man was still there, how could we be in such a miserable situation?"

"Damn it! It's all my fault. If I didn't go after Tiki, there wouldn't be so many things."

Ace thumped the ground hard, full of self-blame, he even thought about committing suicide, but when he thought that his life was bought by his father, Ace gave up the idea of ​​suicide

Marco comforted Ace beside him:

"Actually, it's not all your fault. That guy Tiqi has been lurking on the ship for more than ten years, and he has always looked harmless to humans and animals. Who would have thought that he would have such great ambitions, but fortunately he is dead now."

"Yeah, thanks to Glenn, he saved my life"

Speaking of Glenn, Marco suddenly became interested. He turned around and asked Ace:
"Ace, how did you meet him?"

"Who? Glenn?"

"Yes"

Ace recalled carefully

"If I remember correctly, my grandfather brought him over to train me and Luffy when I was 16 years old. Speaking of which, he taught me the Six Styles and Domineering."

"You're 16? How old was he then?"

"He seems to be a year older than me"

"Is that 17? At 17, will he know Six Styles and Domineering?"

Marko was a bit surprised, he was a punk when he was 17
"Yeah, not only will it, but it's also very strong. At that time, Luffy and I couldn't even last a minute in his hands."

Marco thought to himself that monsters have been monsters since childhood.
"Then what kind of person is he in your impression?"

Ace recalled

"In my impression, I feel that he is quite easy to get along with, but he always gives me a feeling of indifference to everything. I have never seen him have huge fluctuations in mood."

Marco looked thoughtful after listening
"Do you think he will enter the New World?"

"It should be. Haven't they officially established the Pirates? They robbed the Golden City a while ago. It should be soon, but I'm not sure. Why are you asking so much about him? Are you interested in him?"

marco nods
"Of course I'm interested. I think if we want to turn around and make a comeback, he should be our last hope."

"what?"

Ace looked confused, then waved his hand
"Impossible, it is impossible for him to help us. It was just a matter of saving my life. How could he come to help us?"

marco sighed

"Ace, you can only think of asking him to help us through the difficulties, have you never thought that we can help him?"

Ace scratched his head
"Help Glenn? His pirate group is so strong now, how can we help?"

Marco asked back:

"90.00% of the islands in the New World are currently occupied by major forces. If Glenn wants to take control of the New World, he must snatch them from these forces. Who do you think he will snatch from?"

"Those relatively weak forces?"

Ace replied uncertainly, Marco shook his head
"No, they have been silent for nearly a year, that is to say, they have been preparing for a year. Do you think they will attack a small force? I am sure that their targets are definitely Kaido, BIG MOM and Shanks one of the"

"What you said seems to make sense, but what does this have to do with us?"

"Ace, what he wants to fight is the Four Emperors, enemies at the same level as Dad, do you think no matter how long he prepares, he can be 100% sure, so if we propose to form an alliance with them at this time, help them Fighting, they will definitely agree, won't we have a powerful ally by then?"

"But, don't we have Shanks as an ally now, and the situation is not much better."

Marco shook his head

"No, no, Glenn and Shanks are absolutely different. Shanks only helped us because of our past friendship and because you are the son of his former captain. He is a good man. , I just don’t want too many people to die, he won’t help us regain the territory.”

Marco paused
"However, Glenn is different. I have a hunch that if he enters the New World, he will definitely create a storm in the New World. If we can form an alliance with him, we will have a chance to use their power to regain our previous territory."

"Can you do it?"

Ace still can't believe it.

"Blu blu blu, blu blu blu"

At this time, the sound of a phone bug rang
