Chapter 453: A Hero with a Broad Mind

In the cabin, Lu Li was checking the current situation of Blackbeard and his group through the Hunting Mark.

As expected, because of the teleportation fruit, Blackbeard and his group did not need to sail through the sea to shuttle through this sea area, but returned directly to Marinford.

Through the Hunting Mark, Lu Li seemed to be able to lean over Blackbeard silently, and observe the situation over there through his perception.

After returning to Marinford, Blackbeard and his group hid in the alleys of the town and secretly reunited with the group.

Sitting in the room was a naval officer. Judging from the shoulder straps, he should be a high-ranking lieutenant general, but he looked very young.

With a head of golden hair as bright as the sun, the capable naval uniform could not cover up the bookish atmosphere on his body. He wore a monocle on his face, and when he sat there, there was a heavy book across his knees.

As if he did not notice Blackbeard's arrival, he was still flipping through the pages slowly, and the sound of paper friction was clearly audible in the silent room.

Bang——

Blackbeard couldn't stand the silence and the other party's calmness, and smashed a stool next to him with a punch, "Rafar, this is different from what we agreed before!"

The man called Rafar closed the book and slowly raised his head. Because of the huge height difference, he could only look up at Blackbeard, but his sight seemed to be looking down at the big pirate opposite.

"You messed it up yourself, didn't you? If you want to get angry, first figure out the target."

Rafar said, "Besides, my subordinates were also lost in the Impel Down City. Shouldn't I be the one to ask you questions?"

Blackbeard's momentum stagnated. He didn't know the origin of the man in front of him. He only knew that he had risen to the position of vice admiral in the navy in just a few months with his military exploits.

And this man named Rafar also has a group of loyal subordinates with strong strength. Each of them can cause a bloody storm if taken out alone and placed in the New World.

To be honest, he felt that if Rafar didn't work in the navy, but chose to go to the New World as a pirate, he would definitely be a Four Emperors-level figure, and the kind with extremely strong team ability.

After all, he had seen more than five of Rafael's subordinates with the strength of the vice-emperor level.

So he was actually always curious about what purpose this man with a deep background had in lurking in the navy as a low-key vice admiral.

It was just that Rafael had implicitly told him that their interests were consistent at this stage, and he also gave him substantial benefits, so he chose to cooperate with Rafael.

This time, Rafael also lent him a master, saying that it would be convenient for him to break through the guards of the Impel Down.

In fact, Richard did help them stop Magellan, but it was a pity that they encountered... a natural disaster on the sixth floor of the Impel Down.

"Let's not talk about this for now. I met an incredible person in the Impel Down. He may have an impact on the war, and we need to be on guard."

Blackbeard changed the subject. He was a typical pirate and would not always miss his companions because of their death.

He had to look forward. Continuing to bargain for the dead would only make him miss the opportunity to make progress.

Rafael also lost a capable general, so they were even in this respect.

"Tell me about it."

Rafar had received Richard's report through the group chat, but Richard only sent a sentence in the group chat, 'Hahaha, Captain, he is so weak. '

Then there was no sound.

Richard is dead, and he doesn't want to hold Richard responsible now. After all, they are old friends who knew each other when they were low-level explorers.

But Rafar doesn't think Richard is the kind of rookie explorer who will easily misjudge the enemy's strength and can't even pass on information when he is killed, so he is very interested in the explorer who descended in the end space.

"Is that so? I know, things are still under control."

After listening to Blackbeard's narration, Rafar understood the situation. He didn't know about natural disasters, but after Blackbeard's explanation, he understood that it was the reputation that Lu Li made when he came to this world last time.

The Hundred Beasts Pirates is a variable, but that is a trouble from Blackbeard's perspective. For their Rune Adventure Group, the Hundred Beasts Pirates are not a concern.

Because they are a large adventure group composed of late fifth-level and top fifth-level explorers. If they are serious, the combat power of their adventure group alone is enough to flatten the new world.

Pirates like to fight alone, but their Rune Adventure Group is a military-style structure when performing missions and strategies. The collective chanting of super-large forbidden spells is enough to destroy a country.

Moreover, even if it is only about individual combat power, Rafal is by no means inferior to any of the Four Emperors, including the upcoming Whitebeard.

The reason why they have not taken over this world is mainly because it is very troublesome to get the world core in the One Piece world.

It is not difficult to flatten One Piece. After all, the IQ of people in this world is limited. If Rafal, who has a God's perspective and a powerful army, wants to operate, he can take it down by dividing and breaking.

The problem is that they found that the world core of this world is scattered, and the extraction of each fragment has certain conditions.

For example, Luffy, as the protagonist, has large pieces of the world core fragments on his body, but if you want to extract them, you must be in Luffy's Nika form.

Just by killing Luffy, they can only get some fragments, but not all the world fragments on Luffy, because some of the fragments seem to be bound to the Nika Fruit, and the Nika Fruit seems to have self-awareness and will avoid its target.

If Luffy is killed casually, the next time the Nika Fruit appears on the sea is unknown, and they don't have that long to stay.

Similarly, the conditions for extracting other fragments are also quite stringent, and it does not mean that you can get them directly if you have the combat power.

Therefore, they endured it and manipulated the world. On the one hand, they had to find ways to make Luffy grow quickly and increase the progress of extracting other fragments. On the other hand, they also had to make plans to ensure the bottom line.

War on the top is a strategy that guarantees the bottom line. If you participate in the war here, you can at least harvest a large number of devil fruits and inheritance crystals. If they fail to collect all the world cores within the time they stay, they will still be able to survive. You can make a lot of money and ensure team profits.

And now the arrival of Lu Li has added an anomaly to the matter, a final space explorer who can kill Richard instantly... Rafael likes to think of the worst in things, so he presets Lu Li's strength as the Four Emperors class.

What's bad is that Lu Li and Luffy are staying together now. If Lu Li has murderous intentions and just relies on the description of Luffy he saw with his detective skills, he kills Luffy, then they won't be able to conquer this world.

Rafael understands the mechanism of how the world works very well. Explorers are inherently independent from the causal lines of the mission world, so it is not difficult for explorers to kill Luffy.

But if a native like Blackbeard wants to kill Luffy, it will be even more difficult. He might even be able to directly pull out the Nika Fruit.

So Rafael didn't emphasize to Blackbeard not to touch Luffy. Instead, he wanted to see if Blackbeard could stimulate some of Luffy's potential.

A bit passive...

He said that the situation was under control, but in fact he had no control over Lu Li's behavior. If Lu Li killed Luffy now, their arrangement would be in vain.

"What's going to happen with Whitebeard?"

Blackbeard asked.

"Depending on the situation, I will kill him myself. I can give you the body, but you must do what you promised me."

Rafael said, "You should be aware of my abilities. If you violate the agreement with me, you will be uncomfortable."

There was a hint of fear in Blackbeard's eyes. He didn't know what kind of 'fruit' ability user the other party was, but if he made an agreement with Rafael, if he couldn't fulfill the agreement, he would die miserably. It was like some kind of regular ability.

"I understand, don't worry, do I look like someone who breaks my promise?"

The black-bearded thief laughed, and the two of them explained the details of the operation and then went back separately.

In the distance, Lu Li in the cabin was watching the conversation between the two people, thoughtfully.

The adventure group in Arcane Space is stronger than he imagined. Judging from Rafael's attitude, there may be some things he doesn't know about the strategy of this world.

However, Lu Li wasn't good at thinking about complicated things. He just didn't think about things that he couldn't figure out, and just hacked to death everyone who stood in his way.

He walked out of the cabin and faced the sea breeze to breathe in the fresh air. "How long will it take?"

Jinbei steered the helm and looked forward seriously, "That's Marineford. At our current speed, we can arrive there in about 10 minutes."

Check out the 16-9 book bar and see the correct version!

…………

Marineford, the island where the Navy Headquarters is filled with tension and fear.

The sky was as clear as water, and it was clearly clear, but the solemn atmosphere made people breathless.

In the distance, the calls of seagulls can be heard from time to time, and their figures look particularly lonely in the vast sky.

The sea, which used to be turbulent in the past, was surprisingly calm, so calm that it could be called deathly silent.

In the square of Marineford, one hundred thousand naval soldiers stood with serious expressions. In front of them stood a series of the most powerful combat forces of the navy headquarters, as well as the King Shichibukai who had been ordered to come.

There were masters from various races such as giants and fishmen, standing at the front with different heights, making the military formation look more intimidating.

At this time, a navy officer in charge of reconnaissance looked through the telescope and saw dots of sail shadows appearing in the fog on the distant sea.

"Coming!"

He shouted to alert others, but the masters had already felt the powerful energy across the sea, and there was no need for the investigators to report it.

On the sea, a total of forty-three pirate ships sailed over. Looking through the telescope, the young officers' palms became sweaty.

Because those ships are all famous pirates in the new world, and the captains are all big pirates with hundreds of millions in bounties, not the strong men they usually face.

As the ship gets closer and closer, the air on the island seems to become duller, as if even the sea water has stopped flowing due to the tense atmosphere at this moment.

"Where's Whitebeard?"

A major general grabbed the telescope from his subordinates and looked at it personally, but he couldn't see Whitebeard even when he looked left and right.

Just when everyone was confused, a bulge appeared on the sea level in front of Marineford's crescent-shaped port.

A huge pirate ship breaks out of the water, and it turns out to be Whitebeard's Moby Dick.

Following the Moby Dick were three equally huge pirate ships, which were the real main force of the Whitebeard Pirates.

On the deck of the Moby Dick, figures stood one after another, looking at Ace on the execution platform deep in Marineford.

Whitebeard followed the steps, step by step from below to the upper deck, and then to the bow of the ship.

The man is tall, holding a Qinglong Sword-style weapon (Cong Yunqie), and wearing a white cloak. Despite his age, his unparalleled arrogance remains as strong as ever.

He had a confident smile on his face, giving his family behind him a strong sense of security.

At this moment, Whitebeard stood at the bow, in sharp contrast to the giant vice admirals standing in the front of Marinford.

Although he was the smaller one, his momentum was unparalleled, overwhelming everyone in front of him!

Whitebeard didn't see these giant vice admirals in his eyes. He just looked through the obstacles and looked at Ace on the execution platform, "Is my dear son okay?"

The soldiers of Marinford felt the pressure from Whitebeard, and they tightened their weapons, but no one dared to shoot without thinking and destroy the solemn atmosphere of the confrontation.

On the execution platform, Ace looked at Whitebeard and his brothers with tears streaming down his face, "Dad... I ignored the advice and ran away, why didn't you abandon me!!! It was my own willfulness that caused this!"

Facing Ace's regret, Whitebeard just spoke expressionlessly, as if stating the facts, "I told you to go... son."

"Stop lying, what nonsense are you talking about!! You clearly stopped me, and I..."

Ace shouted, tears in his eyes could not stop flowing, and he was interrupted firmly by Whitebeard before he finished speaking.

"I told you to go."

Whitebeard emphasized again, and turned his head slightly to look at his eldest son, "Right, Marco?"

Marco also said calmly as if stating the facts: "Yes... I have made you suffer a lot, Ace, everyone in this sea knows what will happen if you attack our family."

At this moment, let alone Ace was moved to tears.

Even the navy was moved by the sincere friendship of Whitebeard and his men. In the distance, Lu Li was standing on the deck. Because of the deep voices of Whitebeard and his men, he could also see this scene.

He smiled, "It's really as Mr. Kaido said, he is a great hero of his generation."

Although Whitebeard is not Ace's biological father, he is the 'dream father' of most people.

Heroes are great, and their hearts are as vast as the sea!

Lu Li held the handle of the Prisoner with one hand and walked to the bow, "It seems that we are not too late, just in time for the opening."

With a smile on his face, he looked back at Jinbei, "Jinbei, please hold the rudder, I'm going to speed up."

As soon as the voice fell, thunder roared behind the ship, and the wooden boat was ejected like flying, leaping towards Marinford.
