Your Corpse After You Die

"You old man, it looks like you've really gone senile." Qin Yu rolled his dead-fish eyes. "Skeleton Archfiend hired me to fulfill the agreement between you two."

"To prevent the crisis that would tear apart your Whitebeard Pirates."

"If Ace fell into Blackbeard Teach's hands and was sent to Marine Headquarters as a bargaining chip."

"Once the World Government learned of Ace's identity, they would definitely execute him publicly. At that point, I doubt you'd just stand by and do nothing. You'd go to war with Marine Headquarters head-on."

At this point, Qin Yu picked his nose and said, "One of the Four Emperors going to war with Marine Headquarters—that's a major event. I'm sure the others definitely wouldn't pass up the chance to strike at the Whitebeard Pirates."

"And Blackbeard Teach, as an ability hunter, definitely wouldn't give up the chance to seize the Tremor-Tremor Fruit, would he?"

The moment those words fell, everyone present's expressions changed, Whitebeard included.

Only Red-Haired Shanks fell silent.

Unlike the Whitebeard Pirates, who had blindly supported pursuing Ace, Red-Haired Shanks had clearly already considered this possibility.

Qin Yu's words now merely made Whitebeard and the others shudder upon deeper thought.

Even Ace's face showed a trace of lingering fear.

There was also a hint of apology in the way he looked at Whitebeard and the others.

"You mean Skeleton Archfiend hired you to stop Ace?" Whitebeard suddenly asked in a deep voice.

"What exactly is your relationship with Skeleton Archfiend and Escanor?"

He remembered that when Impel Down had fallen, before Ace had formally boarded the ship, Skeleton Archfiend had indeed come aboard Whitebeard's pirate ship.

He had also left behind a prophecy they had considered absurd.

But now that the prophecy had nearly come true, the sealed memory was undoubtedly stirred awake.
