Zhutian: Countless me, join the chat group

"Opportunity?! Teach, you actually killed your own comrade for your so-called plan!"

Ace glared angrily at Blackbeard and said.

He never expected things to turn out this way.

Blackbeard was actually capable of doing something like this just for the sake of a so-called opportunity.

He had been thinking about what exactly happened for a while.

Why did Blackbeard suddenly decide to make a move?

At first, Ace really didn't understand.

But now Ace finally understands why Blackbeard decided to take action.

Ultimately, it's all about this so-called opportunity, but is it really an opportunity?!

I have absolutely no idea what Blackbeard is thinking.

Sometimes, it seems that there are indeed some things I can't explain away.

I never even knew what Teach was thinking.

I had no idea about Teach's ambitions.

Was Teach hiding it too well, or did I simply not bother to find out anything?

And this is actually a dereliction of duty on my part as the team leader.

If I had known things clearly at the time, perhaps none of these things would have happened.

However, Ace himself is now very clear that while he may have his own thoughts, when it comes to this matter...

That's all in the past now.

There's no point in me saying any more of these things.

Since some things have already happened, there's no point in dwelling on them or thinking about them anymore.

Overall, it's really not a big deal if things stay as they are.

Similarly, Blackbeard had no thoughts on the matter; he grinned and looked at Ace.

Clearly, Ace also had his own thoughts on this matter.

He then spoke directly, saying, "Captain Ace, you should know the truth of this matter yourself, right?! Given my position, do you really think I would give up on this?!"
I've been waiting for an opportunity, but if I don't get one, I might as well not do anything at all.

But this opportunity has presented itself, and if I don't seize it, wouldn't that be a bit unreasonable?!

Blackbeard spoke without any hesitation.

He was very open with Ace, even though there were some grudges between them.

This grudge originated from the conflict between their parents' generation.

After all, if it weren't for Roger, his father might not have died.

Besides, back in God Valley, Bai Ye and the others also refused to help those in distress.

However, at this point, he also came to understand the so-called pirate alliance.

For Blackbeard, isn't his current crew just a pirate alliance?!
Therefore, he certainly knew what this existence meant.

And it is because of this incident that I am able to understand these things.

Therefore, pirate alliances are formed primarily based on mutual interests.

When the interests of both parties have actually reached this point.

So, isn't it perfectly normal for things to fall apart in the end?!
Blackbeard thought it was perfectly normal for this group to leave, even if he hadn't been prepared this time.

That would basically mean the entire team would fall apart.

Therefore, in this matter, as long as what happens afterward is exactly as I expected, it will fail.

Basically, this group of people will be just like the Rocks Pirates of the past.

This essentially caused the team to fall apart.

Therefore, he also knew that the Rocks Pirates didn't actually have that many problems.

It's even more harmonious than my own place.

But there's nothing I can do about it; knowing this doesn't mean I can do anything about it.

His own pirate crew was indeed no match for his father.

It's fair to say that Blackbeard was constantly thinking about one thing back then: Did he really need to do this?!

In the end, he still decided to do it!
The main reason is that I used to always think about what I really wanted to do.

If you don't have the ability, of course you should just hide it.

But if we have it, then of course we'll make a move.

These are all things I've wanted before.

When the opportunity arises, it's time to take action.

Thinking of this, he looked up at Ace and said, "Of course, I've been waiting for this opportunity for many years, and I was originally prepared to give up."

After all these years, Bai Ye is about to change this world.

At that point, I was ready to give up and just wait there.

To my surprise, that thing actually appeared and ended up in Sachi's hands.

According to the ship's rules, whoever gets it keeps it, and I can tell that Sachi probably wants to eat it.

At that moment, I thought that if I didn't do something, this thing would definitely not belong to me anymore.

I was struggling with this decision at the time. I was debating whether or not to do it. Then it suddenly occurred to me: if I didn't want to, what would all that waiting have meant?
I definitely can't give up, but what can I do? Captain Sachi wanted to eat that Dark-Dark Fruit!
He doesn't understand anything!

They ate the fruit without even knowing what its power was.

This guy has no idea about the potential of the Dark-Dark Fruit. Wouldn't it be a waste for him to eat it?!
Besides, Devil Fruits choose their owners. Since Captain Thatch can't eat it, doesn't that mean the Dark-Dark Fruit chose me?!

As Blackbeard continued speaking, his statements became increasingly outrageous.

Even later on, Blackbeard believed that he had done nothing wrong!
If anyone is to blame, it's Sachi.

This guy doesn't know anything!

do not know anything!
At this point, they still want to eat this fruit!
This fruit is extremely important to Teach.

But Sachi knew nothing about it, yet he insisted on eating the fruit!
If that's the case, then Blackbeard definitely can't accept it.

Moreover, in Blackbeard's view, since Thatch didn't eat this fruit, it was as if the Dark-Dark Fruit had chosen him.

Since the Devil Fruit chose me, it would be a bit unreasonable for me not to eat it, right?

Thinking this way, he no longer had so many doubts.

Ultimately, it was the Devil Fruit that chose itself, not the Dark-Dark Fruit that chose Sachi.

After Blackbeard said those words, Ace's expression instantly turned even more furious.

So that's what they were after? What utter nonsense!

They actually claim that Devil Fruits automatically choose their masters!
What a joke!

Does this guy even know what he's saying? This whole thing happened because Teach did it.

What could possibly motivate Blackbeard to say something like that?!

Do they really think everyone is blind?!
Just as Ace was about to say something, Whitebeard interrupted him, saying, "Ace, that's enough."

"But Dad!!!"

Ace stared wide-eyed at Whitebeard, momentarily at a loss for words.

What's the meaning? !

What do you mean by "that's about right"?
It seems like it hasn't even started yet, or even been explained clearly, so why is Whitebeard telling me to stop talking?

what is this! ?

Does that mean we're just going to let Sachi's matter drop like that?!
If that's the case, he would absolutely not accept it.

After all, Sachi was his good brother, and most importantly, Teach showed no remorse whatsoever.

Seeing this, Ace was also annoyed.

For Ace, his anger towards Blackbeard was beyond measure.

After all, this guy didn't show any remorse after doing such a thing, and even said something like that.

This statement also made Ace realize that this guy really had no remorse whatsoever for killing Sachi.

The situation they displayed before was probably just a pretense.

If that's the case, then his actions regarding Sachi's death are even more unforgivable.

But Whitebeard wouldn't let him speak at that moment.

This incident also made Ace realize the problem.

"Ace, there's no point in you saying all this!"

Whitebeard glanced at Ace, sighed, and said with a hint of helplessness.

So Ace didn't even consider this possibility?!
If you can't understand the essence of this matter.

In this matter, he might not even understand what he was trying to say.

Whitebeard understood this much better than Ace.

At the moment, he certainly didn't want Ace to suddenly lose his mind and start saying something meaningless.

Whitebeard knew very well what this matter represented.

Furthermore, there is one statement he actually agrees with Blackbeard about: Devil Fruits choose their masters.

Although only Zoan-type Devil Fruits possess consciousness, those fruits do seem to selectively choose their hosts.

Sachi didn't eat it, so it's fair to say that the fruit truly didn't belong to him.

Moreover, given the current situation, there is no point in discussing these things now.

"Dad, he killed Sachi, so why did all that mean nothing?!"

Ace wasn't going to say anything at first, but in the end he couldn't hold back.

After all, if he could tolerate it, he wouldn't be Ace.

So, even though Whitebeard had clearly already said it, Ace still couldn't help but ask a question.

why? !

Seeing Ace's attitude, Whitebeard rubbed his temples, somewhat helpless.

However, he also knew that this was Ace.

This guy can't just stop listening to these things because of one or two sentences.

So after realizing this, Whitebeard didn't say anything more.

“I know he killed Sachi, and that definitely has significance for us.”

I'm saying this to calm you down. Blindly pursuing this matter is not good for either of us.

It may not mean much; ultimately, he inherited the will of Rocks.

He has always been pursuing this, and he has never given up.

Perhaps it is true, as he said, that without that fruit, he really couldn't do anything.

The white-bearded man spoke calmly.

Actually, speaking from this matter...

He himself was actually very clear about one thing.

Teach wasn't wrong in some ways, but what does it matter if he wasn't wrong in others?

After all, this has already happened.

Even if we knew, so what?!
Moreover, Teach was indeed the one who inherited the will of Rocks.

There is no way to deny this.

He might have wondered before why Teach did this, even though the chances of failure were still very high.

Doing it this way, the cost-effectiveness is not very high at all.

If it were anyone else...

If they can see things clearly, they generally won't choose to do that again.

Every step Blackbeard takes now is clearly a gamble.

Not one of them wasn't gambling.

I never expected Blackbeard to be such a gambler!

He was willing to give up everything to gamble on this one time.

Back then, Whitebeard never understood why this was necessary!
But everything that has happened now has made Whitebeard realize why Blackbeard did what he did.

Ultimately, Blackbeard had been lurking within his own pirate crew, which is why things had remained peaceful.

He wasn't Blackbeard; he was just waiting for the Dark-Dark Fruit.

This was just a trigger.

But if it were someone else, they might only be able to obtain the Dark-Dark Fruit at this age.

They might just give up altogether.

Therefore, it's clear that Blackbeard must have struggled internally when he obtained the Devil Fruit.

But in the end, they still chose to take the fruit and eat it.

What does this mean?! Doesn't everyone understand?!

It's because Blackbeard has more than just ambition.

Similarly, I inherited Rocks' ambition and his will.

With Rocks' blood flowing in his veins, there are naturally some things Blackbeard will definitely do!
That's why Whitebeard said that even if Ace knew about this, it probably wouldn't change anything.

Ultimately, Ace couldn't change anything about this.

He spent a long time in the Rocks Pirates.

Naturally, they also understood what kind of personality Rocks had.

Since Blackbeard has already inherited all of this, he should realize that saying all this is pointless. (End of Chapter)
