When Uchiha Mai heard that Ace had been captured and taken to Marine Headquarters, his eyes narrowed.
Has it finally begun? The prelude to the Summit War.
Of course, there were still many differences from the original story. They were all butterfly effects brought about by him.
First, Ace had been captured earlier than in the original story.
Normally, Ace and Blackbeard should not have encountered each other yet.
They would need to wait a while longer before meeting.
A butterfly flapping its wings in Africa could create a storm in America.
Uchiha Mai had stayed in the Pirate World and gathered so many subordinates, so it was not strange for a few butterfly effects to occur.
Uchiha Mai asked another question.
The Straw Hat crew was currently heading for Enies Lobby.
It was because Nico Robin had been captured by Cipher Pol 9 and taken to Enies Lobby.
They were preparing to rescue her.
If it were the timeline within the cylinder, the Straw Hat crew should have gone to Enies Lobby first.
After Enies Lobby, they would fight Gecko Moria. After defeating Gecko Moria, they would head to the Sabaody Archipelago, where Luffy would meet Kuma and be sent flying to Amazon Lily. There, he would hear from Granny Nyon that Ace had been captured and ask Hancock to take him to Impel Down to rescue Ace.
Although the Marines had not yet announced Ace's public execution, the Straw Hat crew's progress was far too slow. Uchiha Mai felt that if they kept this up, they might not make it in time to save Ace.
Then he would give them a little push.
But there was no rush yet. They were still on their way to Enies Lobby.
Uchiha Mai planned to make a fortune first.
