People are pirates, this navy is not very fair!

New world, a certain sea area.

At dusk, there were still a few remaining clouds in the sky, the air was filled with a hot smell, and a row of seagulls soared in the sky.

The Moby Dick, with the bow of a white whale, sailed on the blue sea with surging waves. Not far from it was the wreckage of a sunken ketch.

On the deck of the Moby-Dick, there is a hill made of various gold jewelry. This is the treasure plundered by the Whitebeard Pirates. .

A group of members of the Whitebeard Pirates looked at the mountains of treasure in front of them and talked among themselves:

"Wow! This new group of pirates has so much treasure!"

"It looks like there are a lot of good things!"

"What a pity! Today is the day when Sachi and the others from Division [-] are on duty. They are the first to board the ship and fight, and have priority in selecting treasures."

Among the crowd, someone suddenly pointed at a man wearing a chef's uniform, with a scar on his right eye and a brown airplane head and said loudly:

"Wow! Thatch, is that Devil Fruit you're holding in your hand?"

After everyone heard this, they all looked for help. Then, they saw Sachi, the captain of the fourth team. He was holding a purple-skinned Devil Fruit with spiral patterns on it.

Sachi looked at the fruit in his hand and said with a smile:

"Hahaha! From the looks of this thing, it must be a devil fruit!

However, I don’t know what kind of power this Devil Fruit has...

I plan to investigate the information about this Devil Fruit first. If it is a very powerful Devil Fruit, I will eat it myself to increase my strength.

If it is a useless ability, I will put it up for auction..."

Regarding this, the members of the Whitebeard Pirates next to them, although their eyes were full of envy, no one asked or asked for this Devil Fruit from Sachi.

Because the Whitebeard Pirates have express regulations, in order to prevent internal conflicts and struggles, no matter who is the first to discover the Devil Fruit, he is the owner, whether he eats it or sells it, not even the captain Whitebeard can Get involved in the handling of this devil fruit.

Not far away, after Tiqi heard that Sachi had obtained a Devil Fruit, he hurried over, stood in the crowd, and took a look.

however……

With just one glance, Tiqi's pupils suddenly shrank, and a turmoil arose in his heart.

Yes! You can’t go wrong!

That is the natural dark fruit I have dreamed of for decades!

I'm going to get it at any cost!

As an ambitious man who has endured for many years, no matter how much he longed for the Dark Fruit in his heart, Tiqi still had a calm expression on his face, pretending to be nonchalant.

…………

into the night.

In order to celebrate today's victory, the Whitebeard Pirates held a carnival banquet, and Thachi, as the biggest beneficiary of today's battle, was killed by many Whitebeard Pirates under Teach's intentional or unintentional fire. The members drank a lot of alcohol until they were top-heavy and confused.

On the Moby Dick, as the night deepened, more and more members of the pirate group were drunk and unconscious, and began to fall on the ground and fall asleep.

"Come on! Sachi, keep drinking!"

Teach, who was sitting on a bench, looked across the table at Sachi, who was drunk and burping on the table. He laughed and put a bottle of tequila in front of him. .

“No…no more!

I really can't drink anymore... Let's do this for today!

I’ll continue drinking tomorrow, I’ll go to bed first…”

Sachi waved his hand, stood up with drunken eyes, and walked with staggering steps, preparing to return to his captain's single room dormitory.

Seeing this, the smile on Tiqi's face became more and more obvious. He quickly stood up, walked quickly to Sachi, and helped him.

“Look at you, you’re so drunk that you can’t even walk!

Let me help you back to your room! "

"Thank you! Tikki..."

Saatchi said something vaguely, and with Teach's help, he arrived at the door of the room.

He opened the bedroom door and lay down on the bed.

Kacha-!

The sound of the cabin door being closed and locked was heard. Sage took a drowsy look and found that Teach was still standing in the cabin, looking at him with a smile.

"Teach, do you have anything else to do?"

"Well! I want to tell you something that touches my heart..."

Tiqi smiled, slowly put his right hand behind his back, and held the dagger on his waist.

Saatchi is his good friend. The two have known each other for more than [-] years and get along very well with each other.

Teach is very familiar with Thatch's strength. As the captain of Whitebeard's Fourth Division, he is proficient in two-color Haki and has great strength.

Under normal circumstances, if he wanted to win over the opponent, he would have to put in a lot of effort and cause quite a stir.

Therefore, he would set various rhythms at the carnival banquet to make Sachi drunk until he became unconscious, thus reducing his ability to perceive and judge the outside world.

Saatchi was still lying on his back on the bed, with his eyes closed, he burped, and said in a somewhat unclear voice:

"Hiccup! What do you want to say to me?"

"I want to tell you..."

next moment.

Tiqi suddenly stretched out his left hand and covered Sachi's mouth. With his right hand, he took out the dagger from his waist and stabbed the unsuspecting latter in the heart, lying on the bed. A white knife goes in and a red knife comes out.

In an instant, Sachi's eyes widened suddenly, and he stretched out his hands to pry Teach's left hand apart, thus letting out a cry.

however……

"Uh-! Uh-!..."

Phew-! Phew-! Phew-!

One knife, another knife. In order to be sure to kill Sachi, Tiqi stabbed Sachi more than ten times in succession. When the latter's hands holding his left hand completely went limp, he stopped attacking and rubbed the dagger against the bed. Rub it and wipe away the blood stains on it.

Until his death, Saatchi did not understand why his good friend who had been with him for more than [-] years wanted to kill him!

After Tiqi completely killed Sage, he immediately reached out and groped inside the other person's clothes and took out a key from inside.

After knowing each other for many years, he knew that Saatchi would usually put valuable things in the safe in the room, and the keys would be kept close to his body to prevent the things from being stolen by unclean people on the ship.

After finding the key, Teach quickly walked to the corner of the room, to a safe made of special alloy, and opened the door with the key.

next moment.

The secret fruit that he had been thinking about and the stacks of banknotes came directly into his eyes.

With trembling hands, Teach took out the Devil Fruit from the safe, his face filled with unbearable ecstasy.

Twenty-six years!

A full twenty-six years!

He has been hiding in the Whitebeard Pirates, and he has endured it until now, and finally got something that can realize his dreams and ambitions.

Immediately afterwards, Tiqi excitedly held the dark fruit in his hands and began to chew it.

Although the devil fruit is very unpalatable and makes people almost nauseous, it still cannot stop him from eating the fruit.

In the end, he didn't even let go of the green leaves on the top of the dark fruit, chewing them up and eating them directly.

After Tikki ate the entire Devil Fruit, he walked back to Thatch's bed, stretched out his hand to cover him with a quilt, and closed his eyes that were still staring at him. Then he opened the hatch and left with a calm expression. Got out.

Soon, Teach carried the luggage he had packed in advance and placed a lifeboat on the side of the Moby Dick on the sea.

Immediately afterwards, he jumped onto the boat, picked up the paddle with both hands and shook it like flying, quickly driving the boat away from Moby Dick and heading into the distance.

…………

the next morning.

On the Moby Dick, the members of the Fourth Division noticed that their captain had not gotten up yet, so they went to the captain's single dormitory and knocked on the door.

Since no one answered, he opened the hatch and discovered the cold body lying on the bed.

Soon, news of Thatch's death spread throughout the Moby-Dick.

After some investigation, it was confirmed that several people said they saw Tiqi helping Sage back to the dormitory, and now only Tiqi was missing on the entire ship.

In addition, Sage's safe was opened and the Devil Fruit was missing.

Therefore, everyone in the Whitebeard Pirates basically guessed the cause and process of this murder.

On the deck of Moby-Dick, Ace stood in front of Whitebeard. His face was extremely ugly, his fists were clenched, and he said in a deep voice:

"Dad, Teach is a member of my second division, and he actually did something absolutely unforgivable, killing his comrades!

I will definitely kill that guy with my own hands! "

White-bearded Newgate looked at the surging sea, frowned, shook his head and said:

"No! Ace, you don't have to go after Teach. Let's forget about this matter for the time being... I have a bad feeling."

"No! If that happens, wouldn't it bring shame on your name, dad?

That guy must die! "

With that said, Ace angrily ran to the side of the ship, picked up his specially made mud-powered speedboat, threw it to the sea, and jumped in immediately.

boom-!

As the mud spurted out under his feet, it passed through the turning plate and drove the outer wheels on both sides of the speedboat, causing the speedboat to speed away quickly into the distance.

Whitebeard looked at Ace's back quickly disappearing on the sea. He couldn't help but fell silent, and the uneasiness in his heart became more and more intense...
