The spirit behind the gods

As a captain of the Whitebeard Pirates, it is almost impossible for Ace to act alone without the Whitebeard Pirates.

Especially when Whitebeard's physical condition is deteriorating, a stalwart like Ace should not leave Whitebeard's side at will.

“...... I'm on the hunt for a traitor!"

Traitor, in the Whitebeard Pirates, there is only one kind of person who can be described by the word traitor - to shoot at his companions.

The Whitebeard Pirates do not have the atmosphere of the Straw Hat Pirates, and Whitebeard has no restraints on his "sons", except for the rules that he cannot harm his companions, whether it is looting or slaughtering, Whitebeard will not restrain too much.

"Blackbeard?" Youdou asked rhetorically, in exchange for Ace's affirmative nod.

It was Blackbeard, Marshall M. D. Teach.

As a former member of Whitebeard's second team, that is, Ace's subordinate, he killed the fourth pair of captains Thatch, who was his companion, in order to capture the Dark Fruit.

"Ace... Next, you stay by Luffy's side instead of me and protect them!" Seeing what Ace wanted to say, Yoto directly appeased him and continued, "Blackbeard's words, I'll hunt you down, I promise you... I'll catch him again! I'll give you an explanation--"

In the original book, Ace was precisely because of the pursuit of Blackbeard, and finally fell into the hands of the navy when he was defeated and captured, and finally lost his life in the battle at the top.

It can be said that the node of Ace's transition from prosperity to decline began when he left the Whitebeard Pirates and pursued Blackbeard alone.

Theoretically, as long as Ace gives up the pursuit of Blackbeard and stays by Whitebeard's side, it is impossible for Ace to fall into the hands of the navy, Whitebeard may not be an absolute good person, but he is still quite good to his son.

It's just that he persuaded Ace to give up the idea of pursuit, and he automatically gave up after only a circle in Yuto's mind.

Ace's personality is destined to be the kind of person who will not easily change if he identifies his goal, he left the Whitebeard Pirates and chose to pursue Blackbeard, because he believes that Blackbeard is his subordinate, and Blackbeard killed his companion, which also has his share of responsibility.

This sense of responsibility drives Ace to capture Blackbeard no matter what, even if Yuto tells Ace that there is danger waiting for him ahead, Ace's personality will not make him change his mind.

Or maybe Yuto directly tells Ace that he is no match for Blackbeard, who ate the Dark Fruit?

Let's not talk about whether Ace's pride will agree, I'm afraid that even if Otto understands that Yuto is not joking, with Ace's character of not hitting the south wall and not looking back, he will continue to pursue Blackbeard.

Since it doesn't make sense to rely on persuasion, Yuto can only find another way, and he will replace Ace to pursue Blackbeard, and in turn let Ace follow Luffy and them to experience the plot of the Kingdom of Alabastan together.

Compared with Blackbeard's yin, the boss of the Kingdom of Alabastan, the Sand Crocodile, is undoubtedly relatively good, and now Blackbeard, who has the Dark Fruit, has at most the strength of the Seven Martial Seas, and even in the Seven Martial Seas, it may not be called the first gear, and the Sand Crocodile who has lost his fighting spirit is weaker than Blackbeard.

In the face of Youdou's words, Ace almost wanted to speak, "Tiqi is my target, how can I let you come..."

"Needless to say!" Yuto placed a 100 Bailey coin on the table and pushed it in Ace's direction, "You haven't forgotten about this yet, I want you to promise me - protect Luffy until I catch Blackbeard!"

The 100 Bailey coin, anyone who sees it will feel common, there is no difference from the ordinary Bailey, almost on any island with human activity, you can see this currency issued by the world government.

However, when this coin falls in front of Luffy and Ace's eyes, the meaning of that is completely different, this coin represents any wish and request that Yuto can make to them.

In the past ten years in Windmill Village, Yuto has rescued the two from danger several times when their lives are in danger.

And Ace and Luffy, who had nothing to do at the beginning, handed over the 100 Bailey coin in their hands to Yuuto, and made a promise - no matter when, where, when Yuto took out this coin, the other two would do something for him unconditionally.

And there are 3 coins like this, and this is the first time he has shown a coin request to Ace and Luffy, maybe even Ace never thought that with Yuto's character, there would be such a day when he would use coins.

Pinching the coin in his hand, Ace plucked up all his strength, and after staring at the coin for 3 seconds, the strength of his whole body dissipated in an instant, as if it had been completely put down.

"Well, your request... I promised!"

Seeing that Yuto would speak to this point, even if Ace couldn't understand Yuto's approach, he finally chose to believe it.

Identity Replacement Complete!

Ace follows the Straw Hat Pirates, while Yuto sets out alone to hunt down Blackbeard, and the two agree to meet in the Water City in a month's time, and whoever arrives first will stay in the Water City for seven days.

After making an agreement, Yuto began the operation to hunt down Blackbeard without saying a word.

Unlike Ace, who is alone and searches the world for Blackbeard, Yoto has a potential boost - the Revolutionary Army.

Through the intelligence network of the Revolutionary Army branch of the Kingdom of Alabastan, Yuto also obtained first-hand information about Blackbeard's whereabouts.

Just as Ace appeared in the Kingdom of Alabastan, Blackbeard once appeared briefly in the Kingdom of Alabastan with his entangled men.

However, Blackbeard quickly chose to leave, and before he left, the Revolutionary Army had found out that the Sand Crocodile had a brief confrontation with him.

This time no one seems to have the upper hand, and it is the first setback of Operation Blackbeard.
