How could Kaido do such a disgraceful thing by running away before fighting?
As long as Sasaki dares to make this suggestion, Kaido will hit him with a stick without saying a word and send him flying into outer space.
"So, what should I do now?"
"I can't fight, but I can't escape. So why don't I just stay here and wait to die?"
Sasaki was annoyed.
Suddenly, he had the idea of quitting the Beasts Pirates.
He thought that joining the Beasts Pirates was to find a strong backer, but he didn't expect that even the Beasts Pirates had nowhere to go.
"Let's prepare the army first!"
Yan Calamity said, "Call back all the people who are scattered outside. Lucifer is strong, but we're not weak either."
"Even if we can't beat him, we shouldn't let him have it easy!"
Black Maria said, "Why don't you discuss it with Captain Kaido?"
"No, he can't listen to anything now."
Everyone looked up at the sky as black clouds gathered, and the situation changed color. Kaido's anger had erupted completely.
Kaido, in this state, can't listen to anything.
In the New World, on a summer island, it was sunny and pleasant.
The Red Hair Pirates were stationed on the island for a vacation.
A group of pirates was very leisurely, drinking, chatting at the banquet, bragging, and playing.
They didn't look like pirates at all, but more like a group of people on vacation.
Suddenly, a pirate ran over from a distance, his face angry.
"It's bad! A huge thing has happened! Lucifer and the Naval Headquarters are at war!"
The pirate's voice spread, and the lively banquet came to an abrupt end.
All the pirates looked at him at the same time.
"Captain, Lucifer and the Naval Headquarters are at war, and... and..."
The pirate was out of breath and couldn't speak.
A group of pirates stared wide-eyed, eager to hit him.
"And what? Stop with the chatter!"
Jesus stepped forward and snatched the newspaper from the pirate.
He kept a copy for himself and shared the rest with Red-Haired Shanks and the other cadres.
The moment they saw the newspaper, all the cadres were terrified.
Their eyes widened, dumbfounded, and their minds went blank.
They felt as though the sky was collapsing, as if they were in a dream.
"Admiral Akainu died in battle?!!!"
"Hero Garp died in battle?!!!"
"The Ghost Pirates defeated the Marine elite and destroyed Impel Down?!"
"Are you kidding? We haven't heard anything about such a huge incident."
"Is Lucifer that strong? How could he kill Akainu and Garp by himself?!!"
Both Marine Admiral Akainu and hero Garp were the world's top powerhouses, and they were killed at the same time, which shocked the pirates of the Red Hair Pirates.
"Hey, Shanks, your premonition has come true."
The deputy captain Dauberman looked at Shanks and said in a deep voice.
"Ah, yes."
"I just didn't expect it to come so soon!"
A solemn expression appeared on Shanks' face. He stared at the close-up photo of Lucifer in the newspaper, his eyes flickering but with unclear meaning.
"We have to prepare early!"
"Otherwise, the Red Hair Pirates will also be eaten by Lucifer as prey!"
Dauberman looked at Shanks and said in a deep voice, "Have you decided?"
"That's right, we have no choice!"
A gust of wind suddenly blew, and as the red hair was blown away, the national newspapers were also carried into the sky.
"Everyone, set sail!!!"
"Roar!!!"
The Red Hair Pirates set sail and left the resort island.
They quickly disappeared into the boundless sea.
In the first half of the Grand Line, in an unnamed sea area, two pirate groups met on a narrow path.
"Fire Punch!!!"
Ace jumped from his boat, leaped into the sky in front of the enemy ship, and shot a massive fire pillar fist.
The fire fist hit the enemy ship, pierced it, and sank it on the spot.
All the pirates on board were killed without exception!
A group of pirates on the Ace of Spades looked at each other helplessly.
The captain was too strong, and there was no chance for them to make a move.
Since going out to sea, every time they met an enemy, Ace would punch them to death.
They felt like they were dispensable and had no sense of existence.
Ace returned to the Ace of Spades, and a group of pirates immediately came to meet him.
"Hey, Ace, let's do it next time."
"The enemy has been defeated by you every time. It seems that we crew members are very incompetent."
"That's right! When we can't fight, you'll have time to make a move."
"Ah, is that so?"
"Hahahaha, I will definitely let you choose next time."
Ace scratched his head and laughed.
"Okay, let's celebrate our victory over the enemy and have a banquet!"
"Oh!!!!"
There was laughter and merrymaking on the Ace of Spades, but only the deputy captain, Deus, remained silent in the corner, looking at the newspaper in his hand with a serious expression.
"Hey, Deus, what's the matter? It's a celebration!"
Ace, eating a piece of bone-in meat, called Deus over.
"Yes, yes, Deus, don't read the paper."
"Let's have a party."
When Deus came to the banquet, he said solemnly, "Ace, something big has happened in the world!"
"Hahahaha, what's wrong?"
Ace laughed, not paying attention at all.
He was an optimist and never let things bother him.
Deus said, "The Four Emperors Lucifer and the Naval Headquarters are at war!"
"What?"
"Is it real?"
"Is it so sudden?"
The members of the Jack of Spades pirates were all taken aback, and they all grabbed the newspaper from Deus's hand and started reading.
Only Ace was indifferent.
He never read the newspapers, nor did he pay attention to such things.
It wasn't his concern if the Four Emperors were at war with the Naval Headquarters.
However, the members of the Jack of Spades pirates were stunned by the news and shouted.
"Hey, hey, no way, Admiral Akainu was killed!"
"And Marine hero Garp, he also died in battle!"
"Is Lucifer that strong?"
A group of pirates marveled at Lucifer's strength, but they didn't realize that Ace's face had changed.
"Hey, what did you just say?"
Ace suddenly yelled.
"What? Lucifer is that strong?"
"Not that!"
Ace grabbed the newspaper from his subordinates and saw the huge headline at a glance.
Marine hero Garp dies in battle!
The close-up photo showed Lucifer strangling Garp.
"Dead! The old man is dead!"
"Impossible, how is this possible!"
Ace's complexion changed drastically. Cold sweat broke out, his hands kept shaking, and tears poured from his eyes involuntarily.
Although he had become a pirate, he was at odds with the Marines.
But Ace was still very grateful for Garp's kindness in raising him.
Seeing the news of Garp's death now, of course, Ace would be devastated.
"Ace, what's wrong with you?"
The pirates under him were very puzzled, wondering why Ace suddenly became like this.
"Garp, Garp, he's my grandfather!!"
"Nani?!!!"
"Marine hero Garp is Ace's grandfather?"
"Then why did Ace become a pirate?"
"Oh no, Garp isn't here anymore..."
Everyone in the Jack of Spades pirates fell silent.
"Lucifer, Lucifer, that b*****d, I must kill him!"
Ace roared wildly, and flames erupted from his hands, burning the newspaper to ashes.
The deputy captain, Deus, hurriedly stepped forward to stop him. "Don't be impulsive, Ace, we can't take him on now!"
"Lucifer is one of the Four Emperors of the New World and is now recognized as the strongest in the world!"
"We are no match for him. If we face him now, we're courting death!"
"Even Marine Admirals and Vice Admiral Garp have lost. What can we do?"
"What Deus said makes sense, Ace. Don't be impulsive!"
"We are too weak now to defeat Lucifer!"
"Impossible. There's no hope in sight."
Everyone in the Jack of Spades pirates shook their heads regretfully.
Who is Lucifer?
He is one of the Four Emperors of the New World, the strongest in the world today.
There are countless strong men under him and tens of thousands of elite pirates.
And what about them?
They were just a rookie pirate group that had just debuted, with fewer than 20 members. They weren't even a fraction of the Nether Pirates, how could they fight Lucifer?
Not to mention defeating him. They might not even get to see Lucifer's face before being taken down by the cadres of the Nether Pirates.
"Ace, calm down, don't be impulsive."
"If you really want revenge, you have to be calm."
"You are still young. As long as you keep getting stronger and expanding your power, one day you'll be able to compete with Lucifer!"
Some persuasion from Deus finally made Ace calm down.
