Konoha: A golden flash from the tomb

(Like the title, you can read it or not)

Minato and Shanks reached an agreement, and Whitebeard's instructions to Marco came to an end.

"Dad just now told me that when he fell into the water, he saw Ace wrapped in ice. Is Ace okay?"

After seeing Minato's ability to create a new body, Marco had no doubts about it, but he still wanted to hear the news confirmed with his own mouth.

"It's true. Ace is fine. My companions have already taken care of him. Qingjia asked Garp to send Ace over. But Ace can't show up. At least for two or three years, Ace can't reappear in people's sight. middle."

"How could the Navy get involved? If so, this public execution would be meaningless, wouldn't it?"

Marco frowned slightly.

"When the lie is exposed, the navy's reputation will plummet, and the world's government will also cause trouble for them."

"What if the Navy is no longer needed by then?"

"Ace's younger brother Luffy, his father is the leader of the Revolutionary Army, and his grandfather is Garp. Don't you remember the relationship between them?"

Marco slapped his forehead fiercely and muttered to himself, "I'm really a little dizzy." He smiled coquettishly. He knew this information, but he didn't think of it for a while.

"The Revolutionary Army needs Ace's identity. You also know that what they do is to overthrow the rule of the Celestial Dragons and establish a new world order."

"At that time, pirates will also become enemies of the revolutionary army. No matter who is in power, pirates who roam the sea, plunder the coast, and plunder islands will always be the public enemies of people in this world."

"This is something that is undeniable, so rounding up pirates will become an inevitable thing in the future."

"Although this is just my guess, I think that when Ace reappears on the sea, it will be the time to hunt for pirates."

"It's true that Ace is my son, but what he wants to do is his own choice."

Whitebeard, who heard Minato's words, spoke with unwavering firmness in his tone, "If you want Ace to cooperate with the Revolutionary Army, then tell him personally. I have no intention or desire to make his own choice for him."

"Of course, I will tell him personally."

A new voice appeared in the room for no reason, but no one present except Marco had any surprised expressions. Although Whitebeard's body became very weak, his sense of knowledge and dominance were not weakened in any way. Only the weapon color cannot be used temporarily due to physical reasons.

Redhead and Whitebeard were already aware of Ryu's arrival when he used the wind to send a message to Minato.

"We haven't seen each other for many years, Long."

Shanks nodded to Long. The two had many interactions in the past. Long's son Luffy set out for the sea because of his agreement with Shanks. There was a certain causal connection between them.

"You did recruit a good subordinate this time."

Whitebeard opened his mouth to say hello, but Long shook his head.

"Minato is a good collaborator. He is trustworthy and generous. He has helped me a lot. The Revolutionary Army owes him a big favor."

Although Long denied that Minato had not joined the revolutionary army, he also stood up for Minato in his words, indicating the relationship between the two.

If Minato wants to gain a foothold in this world and establish his own power, what he needs is not just strength and a team, but also a strong enough network of relationships. When he steps out of society, he needs to be worldly.

Even in the chaotic world of pirates where fists and power are valued, unless the power is strong enough to act arbitrarily, or just do some harmless little troubles, it is obvious that Minato's ambitions don't stop there.

"I plan to bring Ace back to the Revolutionary Army. In the past few years while you are recovering from your injuries, Ace has been taken care of by me. Sabo is my right-hand man, and I will not treat him badly."

"Compared to being under the spotlight when returning to the White Group, the Revolutionary Army is a suitable hiding place and can also give him enough training."

Long bluntly expressed his thoughts to Whitebeard. He really wanted to convince Ace, and the best way to convince Ace was to let him see this decayed world clearly and understand what he could do for this world.

Teenage children are always rebellious, and they need to learn many things on their own, rather than being roughly indoctrinated and ordered.

"Ace can be well protected here, and we will not reveal his information. This is his home, and he is also our family."

Marco didn't want Ace to leave here. Finally, Ace was able to escape cleverly and shelter Ace under his wings. Isn't that what he should do as the big brother?

"Let him go. We will be in a lot of trouble. Marco, Ace is not suitable to stay here. This is also for his safety."

Whitebeard shook his head. His idea was different from Marco's, but this was also the best way to protect Ace. He knew Ace's recklessness and impulsiveness. When the white group encountered difficulties, Ace would never shrink back. Later, and such impulse is a big trouble for everyone.

Aokiji will be implicated, the plans of the Revolutionary Army will be greatly affected, Minato's abilities will be exposed, and the White Group will encounter an unprecedented counterattack and attack by the world's government. This is an extremely bad situation that even Whitebeard does not want to encounter. .

What's more, now he also needs a lot of time to recover his strength, and every step he takes now needs to be extremely cautious.

"Calm it as training for him, Marco."

Whitebeard patted Marco on the arm, "After this incident, he should also have his own growth, so let's give him some time to settle."

"It's just Dragon."

Whitebeard pointed at himself, "I am a pirate, and a big one. You tell me now that you will deal with pirates in the future. This is not something that should be said."

Even though he heard this from Minato, Whitebeard didn't think that Long didn't have this intention. Even if Minato didn't say it, Whitebeard could guess it.

"Pirates are the biggest abscess and cancer in the world, and this will never change. Therefore, I hope you are heroes, not thieves."

"This time around the shrinkage and trimming of the white mass, I hope you can make changes."

"Are you preaching to me, dragon?"

Although Whitebeard has a more youthful and 'immature' appearance at this moment, he still maintains his original arrogance and domineering heart.

"Even if a real man can't fight on the battlefield, why bother being a thief?"

Minato intervened in this slightly sensitive topic.

"No matter what, the word pirate has given people a strong stereotype. I don't think you are robbers and thieves who act recklessly on the sea. You all have your own persistence. Your dream of going to sea is different from those who just want to go to sea." Real pirates eyeing treasure are different.”

"So, in essence, you have nothing to do with pirates."

"As far as I know, Captain Roger, known as the Pirate King, seems to be completely different from today's pirates, right?"

Minato looked at Shanks. He was following Roger on the boat and his personal experience was more convincing.

"Captain Roger was a great adventurer."

The red-haired man nodded affirmatively, and because of this, he chose to follow him and make him his target.

"If this is the case, then why do we still label ourselves as something that is not likable but will instead attract hostility and hatred?"

"The name is a code name, and we don't need to use the skull as a flag to intimidate others. We ourselves are the largest and most eye-catching flag."

Minato himself didn't like the title of pirate, so he didn't mind adding fuel to the fire and promoting this proposal.

"Besides, I can help you a little bit with sorting out the team."

Minato is still the Jinchuuriki of the Kyuubi. Although the Kyuubi's body has completely separated from himself, leaving only some chakra that swears 'ownership', Minato still possesses some of the Kyuubi's abilities.

Minato's perception of good and evil became clear after he awakened the Haki of Visibility.

"My ability to see, hear, and see is to distinguish between good and evil, which has nothing to do with killing. Some people's hands are stained with mottled blood, but their hands may still be clean. Some people have never touched blood, but their hands may be covered with blood stains."

"This is a very subjective perception. I can't be 100% sure, but I can give you a reference suggestion."

"If I were to determine this good and evil from the perspective of an ordinary person, Whitebeard, your fleet is not very clean."

"It's just that it's not the main ship where the Moby Dick is located, but the auxiliary fleet that the navy has become the New World Pirates."

"I don't know the way you choose your men, but protecting those who do evil is always a bad thing."

"It's like a wound. If the carrion is not removed, you may face amputation or even death. Especially on the cusp of this crisis, the straw that breaks your fleet may be the one."

As an 'outsider', Minato had no previous contact with the Whitebeard Pirates. After he saved Ace and Whitebeard, the credibility of his words was actually quite high.

There was no causal influence before, and there was no personal subjective influence. The judgment he gave still had reference value, but all this still required Whitebeard's own judgment and decision-making.

"Don't worry about this now. We'll talk about it when we get back to the station."

Whitebeard did not refuse or agree. He also needed a certain amount of time to think about and make a decision. This was an important matter related to the Whitebeard team, and only he could make the final decision.

"Then let's part ways here for now. Luffy, Sabo and others will leave with me first. There are many eyes now. Dragon, you can pick me up later."

At this moment, the red-haired fleet had met up with the white-bearded fleet that was sailing away from Marineland, and it was time to separate.

"Then trouble you."

The dragon nodded, then turned into the breeze and disappeared.

When Marco, Red Hair, and Minato returned to the deck, a crowd of dark heads rushed over and asked Marco questions.

"Dad can't die."

This succinct answer brought a burst of joyous cheers from the deck.

"But Dad needs to rest. Let's go home first. We can talk about everything after Dad recovers a little."

The crew understood the meaning behind Marco's words. The originally excited people also acted quickly at this moment. They each returned to their posts, allowing the full-sailed White Whale ship to move forward quickly until Malinfando became An invisible dot.

There were also some miscellaneous people who escaped together in the chaos. Most of them were prisoners who escaped when Luffy and Sabo made a big fuss in Impel Down. However, because of the warden Magellan, only those with sufficient strength or extreme luck were able to escape. Only good guys can escape.

Just like a funny-looking clown with a big nose.

"I'm not getting on your ship! Shanks!"

Bucky shouted at the top of his lungs, unwilling to follow the red-haired ship away.

"I still want to have a drink with you, Bucky. It's been so many years since we last met."

A smiling Shanks waved to Bucky on the boat, "I have prepared a gift for you, a treasure map."

"Baga! Do you think I'm a fool? Baga!"

After hearing about the treasure map, Bucky went crazy and put his red nose on the tip of Shanks's, and said to him viciously: "Do you think I will fall for you?! Just because You bastard, that’s why I became like this, we are old enemies! We are enemies! Yes...yes..."

"Hey! Wait! My feet are still on your boat! Come back here! Come back!"

Looking at the feet bouncing in front of the railing of Moby-Dick, Bucky, who was gritting his teeth a second ago, shouted loudly.

He wanted to fly back, but the distance between the two ships was already a little far away. After leaving his feet too far, he couldn't keep his body floating. If he flew back, he would definitely fall into the sea.

"Boom~Dang~"

The kind-hearted Diamond Jozi picked up Bucky's leg that had fallen on the boat and threw it over accurately, hitting Bucky on the head. But looking at the legs that returned, Bucky, who was a little on the verge of tears, finally gave up. Boarded the red-haired pirate ship.

"Where's my treasure map?!"

"You just said you didn't want it."

The red-haired man turned his head playfully, "No!"

When facing Bucky, who was also an intern at the time, the red-haired man could not help but relax a lot. Looking at this red nose that was exactly the same as before, a nostalgic feeling of intimacy arose spontaneously.

Bucky gave up going to Lovedrew with Roger in order to take care of himself. Although he said he didn't want to, the red-haired man recognized this former companion very much.

"How about you come with me Bucky? I'm short of interns on the ship."

"I am the great Captain Bucky!"

Bucky, who was once again amused, grabbed Shanks' cloak.

"How could I be an intern on your ship? Just dream Shanks, bah~"

"But seeing my old friend so weak now, I feel a little bit sorry."

Shanks, who cast a glance at the side, reached out and put his hand on Bucky's shoulder.

"Are you right?"

As Shanks' face came closer, the crew members who saw his color came over with dark faces, and they chopped off Bucky's posture of feeding the fish at the slightest sign of disapproval.

Everyone on the red-haired ship is a domineering expert. Although they have not eaten the devil fruit, their strength is still at the top level.

Bucky, who was used to being domineering in the East China Sea, didn't see much of the dangers of the new world. Thinking back when they were on Roger's ship, the two of them as interns didn't have the chance to go to the battlefield. They were fledglings protected by Roger. They won’t step forward when they are not full.

When he came to the new world...it was when he was captured by the navy and imprisoned in Impel Down...

"You, you, you, you... don't come here! I'm warning you, Shanks! Once I make a move, I... will..."

"Ok?"

The dark-faced people came a little closer, and Bucky, who was sweating coldly, let out a sigh of relief.

"I have taken note of this grudge! Tell me quickly! Where is the deck that is not clean?"

"Hahahahahaha!"

Shanks, who was laughing so hard that he was about to shed tears, held Bucky's shoulders and shook him so hard that his cloak was shaken off.

"Come on an adventure with me, Bucky. It's too dangerous for you to go back to the sea alone. It's hard to see your old friends, but don't really fall into the sea."

Shanks intends to keep Bucky by his side, but not because of their previous friendship. Bucky will leave sooner or later, but not now.

Bucky's name was on the list given by Minato before. Unlike Shanks, Bucky went to sea just for treasure. Freedom and adventure were just byproducts. Bucky was a fun-loving person, but he was not a good person in people's impression. .

In this era of great changes, the bad guys will not end well. Shanks doesn't want to see the moment when Bucky's body and head are separated, especially the moment when Bucky's body and head are separated without relying on the Devil Fruit.

He doesn't have many old friends left now, and that's all he can do.

The fall of the cloak also exposed the red-haired left arm to the eyes of the crew. After receiving a lot of fussy exclamations and questions, the red-haired man just shook his head gently.

Not long after, they came to a secluded island. The passengers who came here on the red-haired boat also reached their destination and got off the boat one after another.

"Come on Sabo, the dragon is waiting for us ahead."

"Mr. Long..."

"Why is the dragon here?"

A man and woman with a huge face and wearing a super sexy stretchy gelcoat suddenly put their face in front of Minato.

"This is Ivankov, and next to him is Lightning. They are all cadres of the Revolutionary Army. I went to Impel Down to save Ace because they provided help there."

Sabo briefly explained and let Minato get to know the two.

"Things are quite complicated. You'll find out when we meet."

Minato didn't explain much. He led the people through the dense trees behind the beach and arrived at an open area that had just been opened up.

Kimimaro, Ace, and Ryu appeared in front of them.
