Why would a Saint Seiya become a pirate?

He looked at Ace in front of him, his eyes filled with fear and anger.

"Who...who exactly are you?!"

Akainu, panting heavily, asked loudly.

Ace didn't answer his question, but just stared at him coldly.

His eyes exuded a powerful sense of oppression, making Akainu feel suffocated.

"Suffer to death!"

"Phoenix Wings Soaring Through the Sky!"

Ace roared and charged at Akainu once again.

His attacks became more ferocious and faster.

Under his attacks, Akainu was completely powerless to fight back and could only retreat step by step.

"Oh no, time's up!"

Just as Akainu was about to be defeated and fall, Ace suddenly said something out of the blue.

He had a slight smile on his face, glanced at Luffy, and his eyes were full of peace and tranquility.

"Ace!"

Upon hearing Ace's voice, Luffy immediately woke up and exclaimed in surprise, tears welling up in his eyes.

Ace ignored Luffy and simply watched Akainu quietly.

Then, his body gradually turned into flames and slowly disappeared from everyone's sight.

Only his clothes remained, drifting away in the wind.

"Ace!"

Luffy cried out in grief, trying to rush over and grab Ace, but Jinbe stopped him.

"Luffy, don't be impulsive!"

Jinbe said.

Before he could finish speaking, Luffy fainted again.

Everyone on the battlefield was stunned by this sudden scene, and they all stopped what they were doing.

Looking at the spot where Ace disappeared, he was filled with doubt and shock.

This time, he must really be dead, right?

Will it come back to life again?

……

"How does it feel to beat up a Marine Admiral?"

From a concealed lookout point high above the naval base, Van Nistelrooy continued to watch the battle with great interest.

Seeing Ace down to his underwear, Fanny found it offensive and pulled out a set of clothes from his spatial ring, throwing them at him.

"It was quite enjoyable, but it was also a bit tiring."

Ace calmly put on his clothes; the battle had completely drained him of his potential.

If it weren't for the help of the person inside the Saint Cloth, I would probably have been killed by Akainu again.

"However, as you wish, I am dead."

"Hey, hey, hey, it's not like he's really dead. The one who died was just Ace, the son of the Pirate King."

"And the Saint Seiya, Phoenix Ace, was reborn from the ashes."

Then Fanny said very seriously.

"I feel like you're trying to trick me, but I have no proof."

Ace rolled his eyes and lay down on the ground.

He's so tired, all he wants to do right now is sleep.

"It's worth it to fake your death in exchange for Shanks' lifelong guilt."

Fanny's lips curled slightly, and he suddenly said something.

"What does this have to do with that red-haired guy?"

Upon hearing this, Ace immediately opened his eyes.

"Don't you know? Shanks is your biological father's adopted son. You were being chased by Whitebeard and were adopted as his son. It was Shanks' request."

Then Fanny gave an explanation as if it were a serious matter.

"Depend on."

"So I was the only one kept in the dark, and you were all just messing with me!"

Upon hearing this, Ace couldn't help but curse.

"Alright, that's enough said. I have other things to take care of."

Seeing that the real show was about to begin, Van Nistelrooy was also ready to make his move.

"Then where should I go?"

Seeing that Fanny was about to leave, Ace asked about his future plans.

"East Sea, Alabasta, Sanctuary, or anywhere else, it's up to you."

Before Fanny could finish speaking, he activated his telekinesis and disappeared.

……

Chapter 93 The mastermind behind the scenes finally appears, and Whitebeard returns to his peak!

Although Whitebeard had tears in his eyes, he was the calmest one on the field. He didn't just have Ace as a child!

Ace's appearance just now reminded him of the battle when he first met Ace.

It seems that Ace must have burned his own soul to make a final contribution to these people.

Looking at the chaotic battle situation before him, he was filled with emotion and helplessness.

Ace vanished in flames, leaving only his clothes, which caused him immense pain, as if his heart was being torn apart.

But as the captain of the Whitebeard Pirates, and as everyone's father.

He knew he couldn't give up now; there were still many things waiting for him to do.

Then the white-bearded man raised his naginata high, and the naginata seemed to come alive in his hand, radiating a chilling light.

He used all his strength to slash the naginata down fiercely.

This strike seemed to contain boundless power, and the space itself shattered instantly.

Cracks spread rapidly like a spider web, and the whole world began to shake violently.

Huge cracks appeared in the ground, and seawater rushed in, making a deafening sound.

The naval headquarters building began to sway and crumble under the impact of this powerful force, as if it would collapse at any moment.

Just as the Navy Headquarters was being destroyed by Whitebeard, everyone suddenly discovered a colossal creature appearing at the headquarters fortress.

The enormous creature was so large that it blotted out the sky, giving people a strong sense of oppression.

Upon closer inspection, everyone could vaguely see several figures on the execution platform.

These people were none other than the Blackbeard Pirates, led by Marshall D. Teach.

The mastermind behind the scenes has finally shown his true colors.

The giant spider Squard looked at the Blackbeard Pirates and his pupils immediately dilated.

I remember it now, I remember everything.

The person who spoke to him and told him everything was not Admiral Akainu.

How could the high and mighty Navy possibly trade with a lowly pirate like myself!

It was Blackbeard Teach!

It was Lafayette, who was beside him, who hypnotized him!

Teach stood on the execution platform, a repulsive, wicked smile on his face, his eyes revealing greed and ambition.

"Tikki!"

Squard leaped into the air, gathering Armament Haki, and slashed at Blackbeard.

That one cut was the greatest regret of his life.

Seeing the splattered blood before him, Squard collapsed in front of Blackbeard.

"It hurts."

Blackbeard pulled the long sword that was stuck on his shoulder and threw the unconscious Squard away.

Poison Q, who was standing nearby, started to stop the bleeding.

"Tikki!"

The moment Whitebeard saw Teach, a flame of fury ignited in his eyes.

Despite his battered and bruised body, he charged forward recklessly and launched an attack on Teach.

"Dad!"

Ace, who was perched on the window frame inside the bunker, immediately prepared to get up when he saw that Whitebeard was in danger.

However, due to excessive depletion of his inner strength, his body was unable to move.

Even the Phoenix Cloth refused to communicate with him.

"Teach, today is your death day!"

Whitebeard roared loudly, his voice booming like a bell, echoing across the battlefield.

Teach looked at the white-bearded man charging towards him and a disdainful sneer appeared on his face.
