Becoming a winner in life starts with becoming a shadow

Chapter 135 The wind that pushes the arrival of the next era.

"The guy recommended by the former West Sea Sheriff Lafitte is not an unknown guy. Titch, his real name should be Marshall D. Titch, right?" Li De asked Lafitte.

"I didn't expect that Sir Sid had heard of my captain's name. This is really surprising." Lafitte said with some surprise.

"You said it's a big name, how could I not know it. But I see that everyone seems to really not know, well, let me introduce everyone to the life of Captain Titch." Li De said actively.

"I want to hear what you have to say!" Zhan Guo's tone was obviously curious.

"The origin of Teach can be traced back to the original pirate era. After the Rocks era ended, his crew members separated. One day in a port on an island in the New World, a little boy stopped the then famous Whitebeard and wanted to board his ship to become an apprentice pirate. This boy was Teach.

Yes, Marshall D. Teach was born in the Whitebeard Pirates. In his early years in the Whitebeard Pirates, he had fought with the apprentice crew members Red-haired Shanks and the Clown Buggy in the Roger Pirates. It is said that the three scratches on the eye sockets of Red-haired Shanks were left by him.

And anyone who left a wound on Red-haired Shanks, Red-haired Shanks fought back. Only he, Marshall D. Teach, is the man that Red-haired Shanks has not been able to fight back so far. So I am very curious about how such a man suddenly defected from the Whitebeard Pirates. I wonder if Mr. Lafitte can satisfy my curiosity?"

"An old man from the Whitebeard Pirates?!" Sengoku was stunned when he heard this.

Not to mention him, even the chief staff officer Crane was quite surprised.

"Hey, the scars on Red-haired Shanks' face were left by Teach, is that true or false?" Doflamingo on the side couldn't help but wonder.

"I'm sorry, I don't know about my captain's deeds in the Whitebeard Pirates." Lafitte said in a low voice.

"Well, whether it's true or false, your captain does have the ability to serve as the Seven Warlords of the Sea. But." Reed paused here.

"Sir Cid, I don't know what, but what?" Lafitte asked hurriedly.

"But what I said is not known to the outside world. Even the Navy Admiral who pays attention to the Four Emperors doesn't know your captain's name, you can imagine how low-key he was before. Obviously this does not meet the requirements of the Seven Warlords of the Sea, so Teach must make a name for himself to prove himself." Reed said slowly.

"Of course, in fact, we have made a foolproof plan for this, but we still need some time to complete it." Lafitte responded.

"Of course I can give you time, but your plan won't work. We have to follow our plan." Li De smiled and answered.

"Sir Sid, I don't know what your so-called plan is?" Lafitte frowned and asked.

"When I wanted to become one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea, the World Government asked me to prove my strength, so I went to hunt down Shiki the Golden Lion. Although I can guarantee your captain's strength, he came from the Whitebeard Pirates, and the reason for his defection is unknown. I will not take any risks for your captain, so he needs to prove himself." Li De smiled and said.

"Then I don't know how to prove it?" Lafitte continued to ask.

"Do you have a Den Den Mushi?" Li De asked Lafitte.

"I have it!" Lafitte touched behind him and a Den Den Mushi was touched out.

"Call Teach. There are some things you can't decide for him." Li De immediately said to Lafitte.

"Okay!" Lafitte picked up the phone and dialed.

"Haha, Lafitte, is it done?" Teach's hearty laughter came from the phone.

"Not yet, Marshall D. Teach!" Reed said before Lafitte could speak.

"Who are you?" Teach asked.

"Cid!" Reed replied.

"Haha, you are the boss of the Masked Pirates. I'm sorry." Teach replied with a smile.

"I won't say much for the sake of face, Teach. I know your strength. After all, you are the man who fought with Red Hair Shanks and left three wounds on his face. But because you came from the Whitebeard Pirates and the reason for your defection is unknown, you want to replace Crocodile and become the Seven Warlords of the Sea. You must follow our test." Reed said.

"Haha, I wonder what the test is?" After listening to Reed's words, Teach was silent for a short time, and then asked again with a hearty laugh.

"If you want to become a member of the World Government's periphery, you must first completely draw a line with the Whitebeard Pirates. You should be in the first half of the Grand Line at the moment, right?" Reed continued to ask.

"Yes, I am indeed in Paradise," Teach replied.

"Then you only have one choice, which is to capture Bodocas D. Ace alive and send him to the Navy Headquarters, so that you are qualified to serve as one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea. In addition, you don't have to worry, Bodocas D. Ace is currently traveling alone in the first half of the Grand Line, and I heard that he is looking for you, so don't consider running to the Moby Dick in the New World to capture him." Reed said slowly.

"Thief hahahahaha, so that's the case, then I have a question. If I catch Portokas D. Ace, can I really become the King of the Seven Warlords?" Tikki asked.

"Yes, since you have been recommended and guaranteed by members of the Seven Seas of War, you can take the position as long as you pass the test." This was what Li De said expressionlessly after looking at Warring States.

"Hahahaha, thank you so much, Sid." Teach replied with a smile.

"Tikki, don't be too happy too soon. Regarding Podocas D. Ace, you should know very well that he is the successor trained by Whitebeard. If you catch him, you will be hunted down by the strongest man in the world. Of course, It is precisely because of this that you can clear your suspicions," Li De said unhurriedly.

"Hahahahaha, daddy is very scary!" At this moment, Tiqi's laughter was not as hearty as before.

"Tiqi, any gain requires sacrifice. If you were not from the Whitebeard Pirates, we wouldn't make things difficult for you. It's up to you whether you want to do it or not. After all, the candidate for the Shichibukai can be someone else." Li De said casually.

"Hahahaha, thief, give me some time, I will take Captain Ace to the Navy Headquarters." Teach directly told the people present his choice.

"Then I wish you good luck." Li De said and hung up the phone.

"You can go, Lafitte!" Li De said after throwing the phone bug to Lafitte.

"My lords, I am the one who disturbed you today! Please forgive me for taking my leave first!" After speaking, Lafitte turned and walked towards the window.

With a pair of wings stretched out from his back, Lafitte flew away from Pangu City.

"What do you mean?!" He, who had never spoken, asked Li De, who was not far away.

"It's a rare opportunity like this, so I tried to write a prologue about the battle between the Navy Headquarters and the Shichibukai to fight against the Whitebeard Pirates. Are you satisfied with this answer, Lieutenant General He?" Li De replied.

"Fufufufufufu, Sid, you are really crazy!" Doflamingo's laughter couldn't help but feel a little cold at the moment. "Don't be so angry, Doflamingo, this kind of script is not something I can write if I want to. Who can guarantee whether Teach can capture Ace? What will the World Government do after Ace is captured? Whether it is imprisonment or execution, depending on the choice, the direction of the script will be different.

To fulfill the purpose I mentioned, after Ace is captured, he must at least be publicly executed at the Navy Headquarters for the world to attract the Whitebeard Pirates, and only then can we join forces to fight against the enemy as I mentioned. As long as one condition is missing, it is impossible to achieve the future I need to weave. "Li Defeng waved his hands lightly and said.

"What good does this do to you?" Warring States' anger was almost overflowing at this moment.

After all, once a war starts and the battlefield is chosen at the Navy headquarters, the Navy will definitely suffer heavy casualties.

"Benefits? Hahahahaha, Marshal of the Warring States Period, you are thinking too much. This is just a temporary performance. I suddenly got interested and wanted to see if I could act as a force to push the times forward. That's all. The script Although I have edited the prologue, it does not mean that I will care about the follow-up. Everything is your choice, or the choice of the times.

It has been twenty-two years since the Great Pirate Age began. Heroes have emerged in large numbers, which is indeed very exciting. But no one can deny that this era is getting old. White Beard is getting old. Marshal of the Warring States Period and Lieutenant General He are also getting old. It is time to open our arms to welcome the arrival of the new era.

The new era does not have a ship that can take you old people on board, but it would be too cruel to let you withdraw from the era in obscurity. That's why I want to hold a grand farewell banquet, with the theme of Whitebeard's funeral, so that the sweethearts of the next era can ring the sixteen bells in Marineford to bid farewell to the old and welcome the new, and see you off this stage in a glorious manner. "

"Fufufufufufu, it's really a crazy move, but it sounds very good! Sid, you wouldn't say that you were the spoiled child of that era, would you?" After Li De finished speaking, Doflamingo started laughing. Asked Li De.

"Doflamingo, you are thinking too much. The times will choose the candidates to lead. How could it be who has the final say? Besides, these are just my wild thoughts and wild words. Look at Marshal Sengoku's expression. I know he won't be happy to set up the stage." Li De waved his hand unhurriedly.

"Fufufufufu, that's not necessarily the case. Whitebeard has been suppressing this era for too long. The elimination of him and the Whitebeard Pirates is of great significance to the navy and even the world government. If the world government wants to fight in the next If the times take the initiative, the stage you mentioned may not be set up," Doflamingo replied with a smile.

He was someone who had come from the early days of the Great Pirate Age, and he understood very well that in this era, because of Roger's words, the world government and navy had been in a passive situation.

If it can capture the current world's strongest Whitebeard Pirates and severely dampen the morale of the pirates, then the Navy can indeed lead the next era and turn passivity into initiative.

"Well, it doesn't matter what happens. Now that the substitutes have been decided, I'll leave first." Li De stood up and walked outside.

Li Decai stood up, and Mihawk, who was already standing, turned around and walked out first.

"Fufufufufufu, the wind has picked up. The dull days are finally going to become a little interesting." Doflamingo also stood up after laughing, and then walked out in a swaggering manner.

After Bartholomew Kuma, who had said nothing from beginning to end, left, only a few navy officers with gloomy faces were left in the conference room.

In the huge power room not far from the conference room, the Five Elders had already heard the voice coming from the Den Den Mushi.

"It seems that this era is about to come to an end."

"Every era has an end, the Rocks era is like this, the original pirate era is like this, and the Great Pirate Era should be like this."

"It's time to draw a full stop and lay out for the next era. Roger's words before his death have made us quite passive in this era."

"Then let's announce the opening of the next era by annihilating the Whitebeard Pirates. It's just right to publicly execute the sinful descendants of the man who caused us trouble."

"If the man named Teach can catch the sinful bloodline, then let's decide it."

"Marshall D. Teach, another member of the D clan."

"It doesn't matter. Compared to this man, I care more about Sid. He seems to have suddenly emerged from the East China Sea."

"Can one person, or an eight-man pirate group, control the situation?"

"If a war really starts, it still needs someone to keep an eye on it, because the unknown represents variables, but this war does not need variables."

"Then let's do it!"

While the Five Elders were discussing the possibility of a war at the top, Li De quickly left the Holy Land.

Because here, Li De didn't even dare to use his observation Haki to sense, after all, once he sensed, he would be overwhelmed by all kinds of extreme negative emotions.

Who would have thought that the most glamorous holy land would actually produce the most desperate darkness?

It's ironic to think about it.

Of course, if you think about it from another angle, it doesn't seem so.

Because if this is a gathering place of darkness from the beginning, then if you want to cover it up, don't you have to create the most glamorous surface?

Of course, these have nothing to do with Li De.

Just after getting on the bubble cable car and going down, Li De jumped out of the bubble cable car, and then used the moon step to shoot all the way towards the Sabaody Archipelago.

Returning to the Sabaody Archipelago, the Pure White Knight has completed the coating at this moment and is docked at the port.

When the women on the ship saw Li De coming back, they immediately came to greet him.

"Are you all ready?" Li De mainly looked at Kalina when he spoke, after all, she was the navigator.

"No problem, Captain, I have learned how to operate the coated ship." Kalina is still very confident in navigation skills.

"Then let's set sail! I can't wait to see the magnificent view of the seabed." Reed said immediately.

"Yes, Captain, I will notify the coating craftsman to inflate and release the buoyancy bag." Kalina immediately gave orders.

Unlike the Straw Hat Pirates who still need Franky to operate it himself, Reed is currently in the coating port, where someone is waiting to serve the Pure White Knight at any time.

As Kalina gave orders, the buoyancy bag at the bottom of the ship was released, and the pre-stored air was also filled into the coating.

After the sails were lowered, with the sound of Reed setting sail, the Pure White Knight slowly sank under the sea surface and headed towards the deep sea along the current.
