The Battle Begins

Mock Town, located on Jaya Island, is a gathering place for pirates on the Grand Line. Many pirates come here to rest and recuperate after plundering.

This place is very prosperous, with numerous bars, highly skilled ship repairmen, and luxurious resort hotels, but all of this is based on the spending of pirates.

"So many pirate ships."

From the direction of the harbor, a small boat slowly sailed into the harbor. The Hachi Fish-Man, Hachi, looked around at the scene with some surprise.

"This is a gathering place for pirates."

Mr. Christmas looked around and then said, "But don't worry, they're very weak."

In the current Baroque Works, all the Senior Agent can take down pirates with bounties of over fifty million.

Originally, Mr. Christmas was slightly weaker, but with the Door-Door Fruit, she can still achieve this.

Baroque Works knows this pirate stronghold, which is not far from Alabasta, very well and has carried out many missions here.

The strongest pirates who reside here are only around 35 to 50 million strong.

Let's go.

Ace jumped ashore and said with a smile, "Let's go find Blackbeard."

"Wait a moment."

Mr. Christmas took out Den Den Mushi and said, "I'll contact the intelligence agents, find out their location, and then go find them. I also need to call the president to let him know what's going on here."

"Should we also notify your president?"

Ace nodded and said helplessly, "He's meddling too much."

"A perfect plan must be devised."

Mr. Christmas coldly stated, "Because we need to make sure we can save your friend and catch the person you're after; there's no room for error."

You're right.

Remembering that Nami was still in their hands, Ace nodded and said, "Then I'll leave it to you."

In a bar in Mock Town, a burly figure sat there, eating something heartily. After swallowing what was in his mouth, he said, "Nami, the cherry pie here is pretty good. Don't you want some?"

"I'm not hungry."

Nami sat there, resting her chin on her hand, looking around with a somewhat dejected expression.

I've been detained for almost three months now, and I've had no choice but to join them and act alongside them.

I don't know who will come to my rescue.

Nami knew that someone would come to rescue her, because her father hated it most when others hurt his comrades, and Blackbeard would be furious if he kidnapped her.

Nami sipped her wine, her expression somewhat lonely.

But at that moment, two pirates approached Nami and came to Nami side. One of the tall and thin pirates laughed and said, "Hehehe, what a pretty girl. Why do you look unhappy?"

"Yeah, how about coming with me to have some fun?"

Another obese figure shouted.

Seeing the two figures and smelling the faint stench wafting from them, Nami's expression turned disgusted. Just as she was about to refuse, the tall, thin pirate said, "We are subordinates of the Haidar Pirates."

"The Haidar Pirates?"

Nami raised an eyebrow.

The fat pirate laughed and said, "Of course, our captain, Lord Haidar, is a pirate with a capital of 18 million."

"Oh? Is that so?"

Upon hearing this number, Nami shook her head helplessly. Eighteen million? That's far too low.

"So, miss, why don't you come with... ah..."

The two figures froze, then slowly collapsed to the ground, utterly dead.

Behind them, a figure slowly swung the longsword in his hand, then sheathed it in his cane, and walked over, saying with some disgust, "Captain, why are you in this place? The environment here is terrible."

"Really? I really like the cherry pie here."

Blackbeard chuckled and said, "Lafitte, won't you try some?"

"Don't want."

Lafitte walked a short distance away, looked at Blackbeard, and said, "We've been here for quite a while now. I wonder what the captain thinks of my suggestion?"

"Your plan is good."

Blackbeard nodded and said, "But this is a very important matter, and I need to think about it some more."

Lafitte said, "Captain, what are you still thinking about? Hody's rebellion is extremely powerful, and the Fish-Man Island Royal Army is no match for it. The Sun Pirates will definitely get involved. As long as we do something, secretly kill Jinbe, and then wait for Hody to occupy Fish-Man Island, we can go to the World Government to request permission to fight. With this inside and outside cooperation, we can successfully obtain the position of Shichibukai."

Blackbeard said softly, "Fish-Man Island is Whitebeard's territory. I've already angered him once. If he finds out that I'm the one causing trouble, he definitely won't hold back. The trouble could be huge, so we need to plan carefully and make sure everything goes smoothly before we proceed."

"Then let's wait a little longer."

Lafitte nodded, then looked at Nami beside him, narrowed his eyes and asked, "But I don't know why the captain is still keeping her?"

Lafitte is also a navigator, but he joined after Nami was kidnapped. Because Nami was uncooperative, Lafitte became the navigator.

Of course, Lafitte himself is incredibly strong. He is not only a navigator, but also a pilot, skilled in hypnosis, and adept at swordsmanship. He is a very important member of the Blackbeard Pirates.

"Lafitte, you are an excellent navigator, but you have to admit that she is better than you."

Blackbeard said with a smile.

Lafitte snorted and said, "But there's no need for trash to exist."

Upon hearing this, Blackbeard's smile vanished, and he said, "So my patience is almost exhausted too."

Nami felt a chill run down her spine from their conversation, but just then, Blackbeard suddenly leaped backward.

boom.

A massive burst of flames slammed into the spot where he had just been standing, causing an explosion. The flames burned fiercely, and after they subsided, a figure slowly emerged.

Ace?

Blackbeard's expression darkened upon seeing the other person, then he looked into the distance and asked, "Is there someone else?"

Not far away, a door appeared to open in the air, Nami was stepping into it.

"Trying to run?"

Lafitte snorted coldly, drew a sword from his cane, white wings appeared on his back, and he instantly pounced on Nami, thrusting his sword forward.

clang.

A sharp sound rang out as a knife blocked the blade, and a voice said, "I won't allow you to hurt Nami."

"Hachi?"

Nami exclaimed in surprise. The owner of the knife was none other than Hachi the Hachi. He glanced at Nami and shouted, "Quickly, take Nami away!"

"Hurry up."

On Mr. Christmas, he pulled Nami into Spatial Dimension, and then slowly disappeared.

"It's Fire Fist Ace."

"Second Division Captain Whitebeard's Army".

"Run!"

Upon seeing the raging flames, the people around turned tail and ran outside.

"Blackbeard, you betrayed your father, killed your crewmates, and abducted them."

Ace looked at Blackbeard and said coldly, "I'll take you back now to receive your punishment."

"Yeah?"

Blackbeard clenched his fist and said, "Then let's give it a try."
