Two options to threaten the Shichibukai?
Bai Yu raised an eyebrow, and even Yamakaji and Gion beside him changed their expressions drastically.
As a member of the Navy, one should have some knowledge of the matter of the Shichibukai being recruited.
After all, every time the Shichibukai are summoned, it is the Navy that sends a fleet to negotiate.
This time, the navy was completely unaware, and the implications are probably obvious.
" Bai Yu, it seems you don't know about this. Be careful, there might be a trap."
Ace spoke with unusual seriousness.
"The summons Jinbe received mentioned two options: one was to refuse the summons and immediately abolish the privileges and titles of the Shichibukai; the other was to accept the summons and maintain a peaceful coexistence agreement regardless of whether the Seven Warlords of the Sea system was abolished in the council."
"As long as the Shichibukai do not commit any crimes, the Marine Headquarters, and even the World Government, will not take military action against them."
"Preserve the agreement on peaceful coexistence?" Yamakaji's expression changed instantly.
The Shichibukai already wield considerable power.
If the Shichibukai are abolished but the so-called peaceful coexistence agreement is retained, what difference is there between that and not abolishing it at all?
However, the thought that the Five Elders, who are usually so powerful, would propose a forced conscription at such a critical juncture is still a concern.
To make such a concession, it's hard to believe that the Five Elders had no ulterior motives.
" Admiral Bai Yu, we should report this to Fleet Admiral Sengoku and Mr. Garp as soon as possible. This is to prevent problems from arising in the first place," Gion hurriedly suggested.
Yamakaji, standing nearby, immediately nodded in agreement and even took out Den Den Mushi.
Bai Yu reached out to Teuchi, then took a swig of his drink.
"Don't worry, don't be nervous. If the Five Elders really wanted to target me, they wouldn't have given me an excuse not to go."
"I'm actually a little curious about what they're planning. If I were to try it out myself, would the Five Elders be worth taking down?"
This is insane!
Hearing Bai Yu's reply, everyone felt their scalps tingle.
Ace smiled helplessly, feeling like the emperor wasn't worried but the eunuch was.
That's just worrying unnecessarily.
However, looking across this vast ocean, facing the schemes of the Five Elders, perhaps only Bai Yu would have the confidence to utter such words of killing.
"Alright, since you're not worried, I won't worry either. If anything happens, just give me a call. No matter where I am, I'll come to help you."
Ace let out a soft sigh.
"Don't worry, I haven't fallen so low as to need my little brother's help." Bai Yu smiled faintly.
Let's talk about the second thing.
Ace had been beaten up by him quite a few times over the years.
However, the relationship between the two is as solid as iron.
This phone call clearly demonstrated the deep bond between the two.
King Neptune and the others standing nearby also showed a hint of envy.
To be able to say these words after facing the machinations and oppression of the Five Elders, such a colossal being.
Looking out over the vast ocean, however, there are very few of them.
However, everyone clearly became interested in the second thing Bai Yu had just mentioned.
" Bai Yu, is everything in the letter you gave me true?"
Ace's voice rang out again.
"A day ago, Thatch's patrol discovered the Dark-Dark Fruit in the Calm Belt. If you're telling me it's true, is Thatch really in danger?"
After the battle on Kales Island that day, Bai Yu wrote a letter to Ace to remind him of something.
However, unexpectedly, Ace would give this answer more than ten days later.
Originally, the timeline of this world was indeed disrupted because of his appearance. Bai Yu thought that even if the Dark-Dark Fruit appeared, it would definitely not be so soon.
I never expected it to appear at this critical juncture.
Faced with Ace's question, Bai Yu paused for a moment before nodding.
"You may believe what is written in the letter, or you may not. However, I want to remind you that it's better to believe the wrong person once than to miss out on something, otherwise you will regret it."
"Remember, Blackbeard is not as simple as you think. Where is he right now?"
Ace paused, realizing he had never wanted to believe what the letter said.
Whitebeard instilled in them the idea that everyone on the ship was a brother or sister, and there would never be any betrayal.
It can be said that when Whitebeard learned that Bai Yu had given Ace this letter, he also showed a hint of anger.
However, with the information provided by Thatch, what they thought Bai Yu was waiting for, the Dark-Dark Fruit, was indeed discovered by him, matching what was said in the letter.
This made them start to have doubts, which led to this phone call.
However, when Bai Yu pressed him for answers, Ace's face turned ashen, and he said in a deep voice, " Teach is with Thatch, but I've already contacted Thatch and told him to be on guard."
"Meanwhile, we have already set off to meet up with Thatch."
" Bai Yu, tell me, what are the chances that Thatch will die?"
Upon hearing this, everyone in the room immediately changed their expressions.
Ace's words were indeed quite cryptic, but they were not fools, and they had already vaguely guessed what was going on.
However, the thought that this concerned the life and safety of the Whitebeard Pirates came to mind.
On the open sea, it might not compare to the earth-shattering things Bai Yu did.
But it's definitely a big deal.
Bai Yu silently took a sip of his drink, a thought that initially seemed somewhat absurd flashed through his mind, and finally he sighed.
" Ace, in this world, there are those called the Chosen Ones, and there are those called the Children of Darkness."
" Blackbeard's ability to remain hidden for so many years demonstrates his extraordinary patience, which is beyond that of ordinary people."
"Don't forget his unusual way of boarding the ship."
"Now, not only has Thatch found the Dark-Dark Fruit, but Blackbeard also happens to be on his ship. It seems he is still the hero chosen by the tides of time."
" Thatch will probably still die!"
"Of course, there's another way: have Thatch give the Dark-Dark Fruit directly to Blackbeard. I know perfectly well whether that guy is worth killing!"
Will I still die?
Ace's expression changed, and so did Whitebeard and the others on the Moby Dick, who had been holding their breath and listening intently to the conversation.
Originally, they were only trying to find out about this matter.
Unfortunately, the result Bai Yu gave them completely overturned their understanding.
If everything Bai Yu said is true, what should they do when facing Blackbeard?
The ruthless hero chosen by the tides of time!
This is probably the highest praise Bai Yu could give.
Of course, the last question, whether it was worth cutting, directly broke down this praise.
