Chapter 561: Cause and Effect (Part 1)
The Aitwall Sea is a sea with a changeable climate, but in the new world, there are more seas with a changeable climate, and the Aitwall Sea is actually nothing.
Originally, this sea area was just an unknown place in the new century, but more than 20 years ago, the battle between One Piece Roger and Golden Lion Ski made this sea area widely known to the world.
In that battle, the strength and number of the Golden Lion Pirates could be said to have completely crushed Roger's pirates. However, when the two sides were fighting, a strange storm suddenly hit. The Golden Lion Pirates had more ships, and the impact was greater. However, Roger only had one ship. Taking advantage of the chaos in the Golden Lion Pirates, Roger and his men successfully completed the counterattack!
This naval battle is called the Battle of Aitwall by the world. This is a very memorable naval battle. It not only represents a typical example of defeating the strong with the weak, but also because of this battle that most of the fleet of Golden Lion Ski's fleet sank. The Golden Lion Pirates were severely damaged and could no longer stop Roger's advance. After defeating Golden Lion Ski, Roger also crossed the route of the new world and successfully boarded the final island of Rafter, achieving his title of One Piece.
Although Roger disbanded his pirate group and surrendered to the navy, and was later executed in Roger Town. The so-called One Piece title lasted only for two or three years, but whenever people mention Roger, the One Piece, they still can't help but think of this Battle of Aitwall...
Now, after more than twenty years, this sea area has once again attracted the attention of the world. However, this time it was not a duel between the Golden Lion Pirates and the Roger Pirates, but a duel between the Navy and the Whitebeard Pirates.
The area of the Aitwall Sea is about a radius of hundreds of nautical miles. The seas of the New World all have their own characteristics. The Aitwall Sea is no exception. The most famous one here is the reef!
Yes, there are endless coral reefs under the sea. These coral reefs have grown here for many years and have irregular shapes. The shorter ones are still dozens or hundreds of meters away from the sea, but the taller ones have already extended out of the water surface, forming strange-shaped rocks and even small islands on the sea surface.
But more are hidden in a very delicate position under the water, which leads to ships traveling in this sea area being smaller, but if they are slightly larger, there is a high chance of hitting the reef.
Over the years, there have been countless pirate ships that have been silent in this sea because of the reefs.
Of course, this does not mean that this sea area is completely impossible to allow ships to sail. In fact, although these reefs are widely distributed in this sea area, strictly speaking, there are still certain rules. They spread to all directions with the Aitwall Island Reef Group here as the center, which is also the origin of the name of this sea area.
The Aitwall Island Reef Group is actually composed of thousands of coral reefs of all sizes exposed to the water. These reefs may only allow a few seals to live on them, but the large ones can reach a few kilometers of area, which can be called a small island.
Now, more than 500 warships from the Navy headquarters form a large circular position here to surround the Aitwall Island and Reef.
Why is this? That's because the white-bearded Edward Newgate may be hidden on one of the small islands of the reefs!
It is worth mentioning that about 200 nautical miles northwest of the Aitwall Sea is the base camp of the Whitebeard Pirates.
The Whitebeard Pirates has a very wide territory. In the New World, a large part of the area is classified by Whitebeard within its sphere of influence. At the same time, enclaves such as Fishman Island are also used as territory in various places on the Great Way. People in these places all hang the flags of the Whitebeard Pirates to seek protection. If these enclaves are added together, the Whitebeard Pirates' territory is really big beyond imagination.
However, even with such a huge territory, the Whitebeard Pirates only has one base camp.
Now, the white-bearded Edward Newgate was not in his base camp, but was hidden in the Aitwall Islands and Reefs. The reason is very simple, they were trapped!
When Blackbearded Tichi killed Sachy, the captain of the fourth rank, and snatched the devil fruit and defected from the Whitebeard Pirates, the Whitebearded Dad was furious. In addition, Ace felt that Tichi was a member of his second team. As the captain, he was responsible for this, so his dad finally acquiesced to let him attack and arrest Tichi.
However, my father had a bad premonition at that time, so he asked Ace to find Ian and go out to sea to arrest Tic.
This was a mistaken decision, but it saved Ace's life. It was precisely because of Yian's intervention that Ace successfully captured the Blackbeard Pirates.
Killing a companion is a serious crime, but when he really saw Tic, his father still felt soft-hearted. He could kill the enemy without mercy, but his father still couldn't bear it for Tic, his former adopted son who had been on the ship for decades.
His desire for his family was something that others could not imagine, and there was a saying that it was not a godfather's fault? During the time when Ace went to arrest Tic, his father thought a lot. In fact, he still felt a little guilty about this matter, but he did not show it in front of his sons.
So Whitebeard was very embarrassed about whether to execute Tic.
Even so, Tic was very uncomfortable during the period when he was caught. He was hung on the mast of the Mobidick by his father and beaten with a whip!
And it was done by my dad!
It is natural for me to beat my son. In addition, the fact that Tic killed his companions, Marco and his group of captains did not plead for him, but just held his hands and watched coldly.
However, what they didn't know was that Tic took this scene into his eyes, but once again aggravated his inner anger.
My father whipped him while drinking, which looked like domestic violence, but in fact, who could understand Bai Hu's inner depression? He was just drinking to relieve his sorrow. He was afraid that he would not drink, so he would not be able to punish Tic...
Ditch was beaten by his father for three days. These three days can be said to have caused Ditch torture. His dark fruit would have doubled the pain he suffered. You can imagine how difficult it was for him in these three days.
After being put down, Tic was already dying. He knelt down weakly in front of Whitebeard, crying and begging his father to give him a chance to admit his mistake with his father alone.
What he didn't know was that after his father beat him for three days, his anger had almost subsided, and he had already forgiven him deep down.
Unfortunately, Tic did not know this. On the contrary, the torture he suffered in the past three days made him feel a huge anger in his heart, making him plan to implement his next plan without hesitation.
My father also needed a step, so he agreed to Tichi's request and waved his hand to temporarily drive Marco, Ace and others off the ship.
This guy, Tic, is really complicated, wild and vulgar, ambitious but conceited, but he is still an acting player. He spent so many years in the Whitebeard Pirates and interpreted the image of a good man to the fullest. If it weren't for the sudden appearance of the dark fruit, who would have known that he could have murdered his companions cruelly?
This time, he fell to the ground and confessed his fault with tears in his eyes. He told his father that he had an argument with Saqi and accidentally killed Saqi. Afterwards, he fled from the Whitebeard Pirates because he was afraid of punishment.
Because of Ian's appearance, Tic did not capture Ace to seek credit from the Navy in exchange for the position of the Seven Warlords Sea as in history, so that his fame did not come out, which led to the father's assessment of his threat to him seriously, and in the end he believed what he said.
I was beaten and scolded, could my dad really make up and kill my son with my own hands?
So, the father sighed, walked to Tic, bent down, just as he had accepted Ace and other sons, and stretched out his hand to Tic again, ready to accept Tic back again.
However, it was at this moment that Tic suddenly attacked. Without the restrictions on Hailou Shi handcuffs, he took out a sailor knife that he had hidden in his dark hole space and stabbed it into Baibei's chest with a fierce knife!
The father, who was completely unprepared, was immediately hit. When he was stabbed, his tall body couldn't help but tremble. He looked at the ferocious Ditch in front of him in disbelief...
After stabbing in with a knife, the guy named Dizzy came to his senses. Looking at the gradually accumulating anger in his father's eyes, he was also scared. He quickly threw away his white beard and ran to the cabin to release his companions Lafayette and others.
Dad covered his chest and half-kneeled on the deck, his hands full of blood. He watched them put down the boat in a hurry and wanted to escape. His angry white beard punched him hard in the direction of Digg and the others.
The five Blackbeard Pirates were shocked by the punch and sprayed a mouthful of blood, falling from the Mobidick. However, such injuries were not enough to kill them directly. The five struggled to climb onto the boat and used the last effort to take advantage of their breasts to row towards the distance.
The Whitebeard punch was naturally felt by Marco and Ace who were staying on the island. They felt something was wrong and quickly returned to the boat. However, what they saw was the Whitebeard who vomited blood and fell to the ground...
