What stupid thing did I do?
"They actually bet everything on the Dark Fruit."
"Even if I have to gamble, I should gamble everything on the Arms-Arms Fruit, not the Dark-Dark Fruit."
Teach slumped onto the deck, his face contorted and his expression shifting.
After witnessing Rosen create one Zanpakutō after another using the Arms-Arms Fruit, he now had only one thought left.
That was too hasty.
I was really too hasty.
Even if we really had to gamble everything, we shouldn't gamble on the Dark-Dark Fruit, but rather on the Arms-Arms Fruit.
"No! I didn't make the wrong bet."
"There's still time."
"As long as I get the Dark-Dark Fruit, as long as I can get the Dark-Dark Fruit, whether it's my father's Tremor-Tremor Fruit or Rosen's Arms-Arms Fruit, they will all be mine in the end."
Although Marshall D. Teach was provoked by Rosen's power and even briefly considered that betting everything on the Dark-Dark Fruit was a treacherous act, he quickly pieced back together his shattered worldview within minutes.
From this moment on.
He no longer focused solely on Whitebeard's Tremor-Tremor Fruit, but instead turned his attention to Rosen.
Tremor Fruit.
He wants it.
Arms-Arms Fruit.
He wanted it even more.
But soon.
Marshall D. Teach had a question in mind.
That means Ochoku, one of the Four Emperors, has been completely removed from the list.
What about the Whitebeard Pirates?
Even with the world's strongest man in charge, can he defeat Rosen?
If Rosen descends upon Moby Dick like he did in the video, what will become of me?
Is it to live or die with the Whitebeard Pirates?
Let's take another big gamble.
He was gambling on whether he could obtain the Dark-Dark Fruit before the Whitebeard Pirates were destroyed.
"If I leave the Whitebeard Pirates, all my bets over the years will be for nothing."
"I won't turn my hand back!"
"If I can't become a man like Rosen, then I'll die by his sword."
Marshall D. Teach was a crazy gambler.
Having witnessed Rosen's power and realized that the Whitebeard Pirates—no, the Four Emperors—could no longer rule the New World like emperors as they once did, he did not back down, nor would he allow himself to leave the Whitebeard Pirates.
Instead, they decided to take a big gamble.
If he cannot obtain the Dark-Dark Fruit before Rosen and the Whitebeard Pirates go to war, then he will choose to die by the power he is willing to risk everything for.
He raised his hand but didn't reply.
Once a move is made, there's no going back.
They could either obtain the Dark-Dark Fruit, then seize the Tremor-Tremor Fruit, and plot to acquire the Arms-Arms Fruit.
They will either die by the Zanpakutō of the strongest Marine in a thousand years.
This is Marshall D. Teach.
If Blackbeard at this time was ambitious and willing to gamble everything, then Whitebeard now was worried and burdened with worries.
"Zephyr student".
"he."
"As expected, they knew everything."
Edward Newgate's expression was very complicated as he stared intently at Rosen on the video screen.
He was also shocked by the man's strength, that he could single-handedly defeat the Ochoku Pirates. After all, even he, who was known as the strongest man in the world, could not do such a thing.
Otherwise, there wouldn't be four emperors in the New World, but only one emperor of the sea.
at the same time.
He also saw through Rosen's ambition, the Four Emperors' predicament, and the world situation.
Because of Rosen's sudden emergence, the balance of the three major powers will inevitably be broken, and the world will usher in an era belonging to the Marine.
That's why.
Edward Newgate was worried about whether his sons would survive the arrival of the Marine era.
besides.
The woman who had long since left him, leaving him utterly disappointed.
He realized that he was still concerned about the other person's safety.
"Dad."
"Perhaps I should contact her instead!"
"Ochoku is dead, and she will likely be next."
Marco was not only Edward Newgate's right-hand man, but also his son and the one he trusted most.
He knew everything about his father and Buckingham, including why they had a complete falling out.
"What about her?"
Jozu was completely confused.
"Tell her."
"Either hide away, hide to the ends of the earth where no one can find you; or come here to me right now."
"If it gets too late, you'll have to prepare your own coffin!"
Edward Newgate closed his eyes, pondered for a moment, and ultimately couldn't let go of his past feelings.
If Buckingham could live a carefree and unscathed life, he could also be free of all ties and never contact the other person again, but that's not the case now.
Ochoku is dead.
Rosen has clearly uncovered the truth of what happened back then.
If they turn a blind eye, then Buckingham will be next.
What this woman did back then, others may not know, but he knows it all.
It can be said that without Buckingham's help, even if Ochoku were a user of the Warp-Warp Fruit, he would never have been able to kill Zephyr's entire family.
After all, Ochoku couldn't find the address of Zephyr's family.
That's why.
When Edward Newgate learned what Buckingham had done behind his back, including the death of a three-year-old child, it was simply unacceptable to him, who at the time had adopted a large number of children, many of whom were still young.
Even though the one who died was Zephyr's son, a descendant of the Marine, he was still furious that Buckingham had conspired with Ochoku to kill a three-year-old child.
The two have completely different values.
Someone who longs for family and kinship.
One desires treasure and territory.
Furthermore, the incident involving Zephyr's family served as a catalyst, completely igniting the conflict between the two, leading to their parting ways and never speaking to each other again.
However, out of consideration for their past relationship, Edward Newgate ultimately chose to side with his family rather than justice, and chose to keep everything from Buckingham.
"I understand, Dad."
Marco could tell that his father still valued their past relationship.
Even after so many years of separation, they still couldn't stand idly by when it came to Buckingham's safety.
"Dad."
"What exactly is going on?"
Jozu, who was standing nearby, overheard the entire conversation between Edward Newgate and Marco.
Out of respect for his father, he had remained silent and listened quietly until Edward Newgate decided to protect Buckingham, at which point he could no longer contain his curiosity and asked a question.
Not only him, but also Thatch, Vista, and others looked at the two with curiosity.
Who wouldn't want a piece of gossip about the world's strongest man?
Especially those of them who are sons.
"Marco, you can go ahead and get busy."
Edward Newgate gestured for Marco to contact Buckingham first.
That's how it should be said.
The only person in the Whitebeard Pirates who still had contact with Buckingham was not Buckingham himself, but Marco.
even.
Over the years, Marco has privately lobbied extensively between him and Buckingham in an effort to ease tensions between them.
"Um!"
Upon hearing this, Marco nodded, picked up a Den Den Mushi, and walked to the other side of the deck, while Edward Newgate decided to tell his sons a secret that had been kept for twenty years.
