The most courageous pirate hunter

"I trust you to make the arrangements!"

Kong didn't say anything more; this was the successor he had personally chosen.

Despite the less-than-ideal performance of the Warring States period in recent years, there were no better options at the moment, so he couldn't help but turn his gaze toward Sakazuki, Kuzan, and Borsalino, whose body was wrapped in bandages.

If nothing goes wrong, one of these three will become the future Fleet Admiral.

This matter was actually discussed by the Five Elders and Sora back in Mary Geoise. Some agreed with Sakazuki, some with Kuzan, and some with Borsalino.

However, the chances of Borusalino appearing are now rather slim.

The first reason is his personality; he probably never had the idea of ​​becoming a marshal.

Secondly, being ambushed by the Hunter King this time caused severe physical and psychological damage. For example, physically, although he has replaced his kidney, he cannot engage in intense combat for a short period of time, which prevents him from performing well in this war.

Therefore, they would be unable to achieve merit.

This is a very serious problem.

Even naval admirals need achievements, and this war is undoubtedly the best opportunity; once missed, it will be gone forever.

In addition, his right leg was disabled before Kuzan.

Currently, he can only rely on the bare legs created by his Devil Fruit ability; otherwise, even walking would be a problem. Fortunately, he is a Logia-type Devil Fruit user, allowing him to extend some less important limbs.

Chapter 280 [Realizing Ace's Identity]

at the same time.

On the vast, boundless sea, a pirate ship is rapidly heading towards Marineford.

It's the Kuja Pirates.

You can see Hancock standing at the bow of the ship, her beautiful hair flowing in the sea breeze, wearing a slit cheongsam dress, the glimpse of her absolute territory leaving endless room for imagination.

She is undeniably charming and alluring.

Putting everything else aside, just in terms of beauty and charm, Boa Hancock deserves to be called the most beautiful woman in the world.

It's not entirely without merit.

In the past, she would have looked down on the world because she would be forgiven no matter what she did wrong. But after meeting that man, Hancock realized that there were such terrible men in the world.

Disgusting.

"Sister, we'll arrive in Marineford in five hours."

Sandasonia walked over from the deck.

Before leaving, my mother-in-law kept telling my sister to keep a low profile and try not to make her presence too prominent. I don't know if my sister listened to her.

"I know."

"Once you've delivered me to Marineford, you can return to Amazon Lily."

Hancock turned and nodded.

Call ~

Just then, a whooshing sound came from the distant sky. Hancock immediately became alert, and soon a long, blue rainbow came into view, finally landing steadily on the ship's railing.

After the dazzling flames disappeared, a thin figure appeared.

"Marco the Phoenix."

Sandasonia looked grave.

Why is the first division commander of the Whitebeard Pirates here? Shouldn't he be preparing for battle?

"Queen Boa Hancock of the Women's Kingdom, I'm not here to fight, but to ask you for a favor!"

Seeing Hancock and Sandersonia looking wary, and the Amazonian warriors surrounding them with weapons in hand, Marco raised his hands to indicate that he was not in danger.

You could also see the fatigue on Marco's face.

Clearly, they have spent a lot of time and effort finding Hancock these past few days.

"I am one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea, and I am currently on my way to Marineford. As the first division commander of the Whitebeard Pirates, you should know that we are enemies."

Hancock didn't make a move, but instead frowned and spoke coldly.

She was also wondering why the phoenix would appear here, and at this time of day.

"It's just a matter of different camps."

"I need you to contact Reilly or Shaoqi. It's very important."

Marco didn't say much, but quickly stated his purpose.

"I don't know what you're talking about."

Hancock's first reaction was to refuse. Why should the other party ask her to make the contact right away?

Besides, why would I even want to contact them?

The Whitebeard Pirates and the Marines are about to clash. At this time, the Phoenix travels all the way from the New World to ask me to contact Rayleigh and Shoki. It is highly likely that he wants Rayleigh and Shoki to help him.

She felt there was no need to involve Rayleigh and Shaoqi in this mess.

"Fire Fist Ace's true identity is Gol D. Roger's son. Are you sure you don't want to contact Rayleigh?"

Marco wasn't flustered when Hancock refused; he simply pulled out his trump card.

"what?"

Hancock and Sandersonia were stunned, their faces filled with disbelief and doubt.

"You can't make a decision for Rayleigh; he's Roger's only bloodline."

Hancock's expression shifted repeatedly.

She didn't think Marco had gone so far just to deceive her. If Fire Fist Ace really was Gol D. Roger's son, then she would need to inform Rayleigh.

If we don't notify them, it will definitely affect the relationship between the two parties afterwards.

It's just too unbelievable.

How come the bloodline of One Piece still exists in this world?

Crucially, he also joined the Whitebeard Pirates, and it's worth noting that in the previous era, the Whitebeard Pirates and the Roger Pirates were fierce rivals.

"elder sister."

Sandasonia also felt they should make contact; Phoenix's reasoning was irrefutable.

Hancock didn't say anything, but instead pulled a Den Den Mushi from her massive weapon and dialed the number. About ten seconds later, a cheerful voice came from the other end.

"Hancock."

"Uncle Rayleigh, there's something I need to tell you."

Hancock glanced at Marco, hesitated for a moment, and then said, "Never mind, let him tell you himself!"

Rayleigh was completely baffled by the Sabaody Archipelago.

He's back here again.

The most dangerous place is the safest place. The fact that the light was dimly lit several times in a row is something no one could have predicted.

“Rayleigh, I am Marco.”

"Marco, little bluebird."

When Marco spoke, Reilly was taken aback again.

Shouldn't the Whitebeard Pirates be preparing for war right now? Why are they with Hancock?

"My father isn't confident about this war, so he needs the help of your Roger Pirates. Fire Fist Ace's true identity is the son of Gol D. Roger."

Marco, as always, didn't mince words and got straight to the point.

Senseless.

At this moment, Rayleigh was completely dumbfounded, as was Shokichi beside him.

The two exchanged a glance, their expressions gradually becoming serious.

“Rayle, you don’t need to doubt the truth of this matter. You know your father’s character and pride. He would never lie to you about this.”

"Roger entrusted Ace to Garp, but after Ace set sail and challenged the old man, the old man, who knew Roger well, saw Roger's shadow in Ace. After spending some time together, Ace told the old man his true identity."

"His father was Gol D. Roger, and his mother was Portgas D. Reiju."

"My father suspects that the Navy also knows Ace's identity. Given the Navy's current situation, Sengoku will definitely do everything he can to win. Facing the entire Navy and the World Government that supports them, our Whitebeard Pirates alone cannot rescue Ace."

"That's why Dad thought of you guys."

"We need the Roger Pirates."

After Marco finished speaking, he stared intently at the Den Den Mushi.

After half a ring.

Rayleigh's voice trembled noticeably, because the news was simply too unbelievable; how could the captain still have descendants? They had no idea.
