I quit the Straw Hats at the beginning and joined the Beasts Group

"That guy took Jin and ran to the Grand Line to fight the Navy Admiral. It seems that the hero Garp arrived in time and a fierce battle broke out!"

"Furthermore, there is a terrifying newcomer. Even the Admiral Aokiji couldn't easily defeat him. The battle between the two even permanently changed the climate of an island, turning the battlefield into an island of ice and fire."

As the captain of the first division of the Whitebeard Pirates.

Marco was very clear about how powerful the admirals who represented the highest combat power of the Marine Headquarters were.

That Blood Prison? Ryan might be really powerful. With his amazing mythical beast abilities, even a strong man like Admiral Aokiji couldn't completely suppress him in a short period of time.

But it is absolutely impossible for him to be directly on par with the admirals of the Navy Headquarters.

He believed that if Kaido, the Beast, and Jinn, the Flame Disaster, had not suddenly intervened.

As time goes on, Blood Prison Ryan will definitely be defeated.

"Oh?"

Whitebeard was a little surprised.

He took the newspaper and started reading.

"Gulala~, Kaido, no matter what he does, I don't find it strange..."

He flipped through the newspaper.

I was a little surprised about Kaido, the King of Beasts, and the conflict with Admiral Aokiji and Hero Garp, but not too surprised.

Kaido, the warlike monster, often goes crazy and runs to the territories of the other four emperors and even the navy to cause trouble. This has been going on for a long time.

"Blood Prison? Ryan?"

But soon, he was slightly stunned.

Looking at Ryan's overly young and cold-faced figure in the newspaper.

Whitebeard couldn't help but raise an eyebrow and chuckled, "For a new pirate who hasn't officially entered the New World yet, his bounty exceeds 6 million berries. What a terrifying little fellow!"

"His name is Sparks Ryan. He used to be the vice-captain of the Straw Hat Pirates, the same pirate group that Ace's brother belonged to..."

Marco was afraid that Whitebeard didn't know about the Straw Hat Pirates, so he gave a brief introduction and said directly: "But it seems that they have withdrawn, and they have also gained the ability of the mythical beast of the animal type!"

"Gulala, this is indeed an astonishing ability..."

Whitebeard couldn't help but laugh: "Looking at that posture, it should be the legendary Qilin, right? The ability is very similar to that of Kaido, the beast!"

"And its ability should be fire. No wonder even that ice brat Aokiji couldn't take it down in such a short time!"

"I guess Kaido went to the first half of the Grand Line, maybe he wanted to recruit him?"

For the Beasts? Kaido.

Whitebeard still understands it very well.

The other party has a special liking for those with animal-type abilities.

As a result, most of the people in the Beasts Pirates are users with animal-type abilities.

Not to mention the rare natural ability users, just like animal ability users, the more common superhuman ability users are also few and far between.

For a mythical beast ability user like Blood Prison Ryan.

For Kaido, the King of Beasts, this is obviously an extraordinary temptation.

I'm afraid he was so determined to win that he went to the first half of the Grand Line and happened to have a conflict with the admiral of the Navy Headquarters and started a fight.

As for the conspiracy theories mentioned in the newspapers, such as the deliberate plan to hunt down the admiral.

Whitebeard didn't believe it at all.

"It can be seen that his strength is extraordinary!"

"Even the Navy has put out such an outrageous bounty on him. Even Ace, once a super rookie, didn't get such treatment..."

"Hahaha, I remember Ace didn't have such a high bounty until now, right?"

"That's because he didn't go out and cause trouble... Otherwise, I think it would have exceeded one billion Baileys by now, right?"

"That's right. After all, Ace is the captain of the second division of our Whitebeard Pirates!"

"Blood Prison? Ryan... I haven't seen such an amazing guy in a long time!"

Some captains also gathered together quickly.

It is inevitable that everyone is surprised and curious about a new pirate like Blood Prison Ryan, who is too young and has an astonishing bounty.

After all, he is the captain of the Whitebeard Pirates.

Although they are inevitably a little proud, they look down on those blindly arrogant young men who think they are invincible and extremely arrogant because they rely on their good luck to obtain powerful fruit abilities.

But no matter how high your self-esteem is, you won't be so arrogant as to look down on everyone.

A newcomer who has not yet entered the New World but can fight with the Navy Admiral to such an extent and even makes the Navy Headquarters pay so much attention to him, obviously is not just relying on the arrogance of the fruit ability.

"It seems that he is a swordsman!" Even the captain of the fifth division, Hua Jian Vista, couldn't help but feel a little interested.

The captain of the 16th Division, Izo, crossed his arms and said in a deep voice, "I hope that guy doesn't get involved with Kaido, the Beast King. Otherwise, he'll be a real headache!"

"What are you afraid of? As long as Dad is here, no matter how powerful the Beasts Pirates are, they won't dare to provoke our Whitebeard Pirates!"

"That's right! After all, our dad is the 'strongest in the world'!"

"But, that guy Ace, he's really something... He just ran away rashly without even sending a message back!"

"That traitor Teach will never be forgiven!"

"What 'Blackbeard'? Do you want to replace Dad?"

"I didn't expect that bastard to be so ambitious!"

……

at the same time--

The first half of the Grand Line.

On an island not far from the Water City.

The pirates, with bruised faces and noses, lay there in a heap, curled up and wailing.

A shirtless figure wearing a cowboy hat clapped his hands nonchalantly.

"Blood Prison? Ryan..."

The Fire Fist that the captains of the Whitebeard Pirates are concerned about? Ace accidentally noticed a bounty on the ground, and his eyes couldn't help but focus.

He picked up the bounty ticket and looked at the figure on it.

Looking at the cold-faced, decisive young figure above, as well as the jaw-dropping bounty amount.

Even Ace couldn't help but gasp in amazement: "Tsk tsk, a pirate rookie who hasn't even entered the New World yet has a bounty of 6 million berries. It's incredible... The bounty is even higher than for me, the captain of the Whitebeard Pirates' Second Division!"

"Has that guy already left the Straw Hat Pirates? Such a formidable guy certainly wouldn't be so easily put in a position of inferiority..."

Thinking back to his brother, Straw Hat Luffy, the powerful vice-captain of the Straw Hat Pirates, who was about the same age as him, Ace sighed helplessly, "The companion who once shared adventures and lively parties with us suddenly left the Straw Hat Pirates. I bet Luffy must be very unhappy."

He could understand Luffy's feelings.

After all, the purpose of him, the captain of the Whitebeard Pirates' second division, running to the first half of the Grand Line was to chase a person - "Blackbeard" Marshall D. Teach.

The guy who had been on the Moby Dick of the Whitebeard Pirates for twenty or thirty years suddenly betrayed the Whitebeard Pirates, and even brutally killed his companions and ran away.

Moreover, he was a member of the Whitebeard Pirates' Second Division, which made Ace, the captain of the Second Division, extremely angry.

For the sake of his father, Whitebeard's reputation, and for his friend, Captain of the Fourth Division, Thatch, who was unfortunately killed, to rest in peace.

Even if he had to chase him to the ends of the earth, he would still find Blackbeard.

"Alas……"

suddenly.

A newspaper flew in the wind and covered Ace's face.

He was immediately attracted by the shocking title above.

"Even Admiral Aokiji couldn't take him down? He's truly a formidable fellow..."

Ace flipped through the newspaper.

His pupils couldn't help but shrink, somewhat shocked. "And that monster Kaido actually ran all the way from the New World. Was it to recruit Blood Prison? Ryan?"

"That Ice and Fire Island...it seems like its flames are even more amazing than mine!"

Looking at the picture of Ice and Fire Island above, he couldn't help but fall silent.

Although he is a natural type? He has the ability of the Flame-Flame Fruit.

But the temperature of his flames was not enough to burn the earth into magma.

Not to mention, it directly changed the climate of the entire island permanently.

"But is it still too late?"

Take a deep breath.

Ace suppressed his complicated thoughts.

With a light leap, he jumped onto the small speedboat docked on the sea.

As intense flames gushed out from under his feet, the entire speedship sailed directly into the distance at an astonishing speed.

Fire Fist? Ace pressed down his cowboy hat, his eyes determined: "Teach, no matter how hard you try to run, I will catch you sooner or later!"

……

Also in the first half of the Grand Line.

On an island not far from Fire Fist Ace.

"Thief, hahahaha, Blood Prison? Ryan, you are worthy of it..."

A tall, fat figure sat cross-legged on the shore.

Looking at the newspaper he had just bought, he grinned with his gap-toothed mouth and said, "You've really gained an incredible ability! I knew that a small temple like the Straw Hat Pirates really couldn't accommodate you!"

If Ace were here.

I'm afraid he would scream out in shock and anger.

Then, without hesitation, he used his signature skill - the fire fist - and struck hard.

Because the other party was the "Blackbeard" Marshall D. Teach who betrayed the Whitebeard Pirates, killed his good friend, Captain Thatch of the Fourth Division, and fled to the first half of the Grand Line.

"That guy is really impressive. After all, I was almost killed by him back then. Hahaha..." The helmsman of the Blackbeard Pirates, "Champion" Bugges, raised his strong arms high and said with a laugh.

When they were in Gaya Island.

I've met the Straw Hat Pirates before.

He had also clashed with the Straw Hat Pirates when they were competing in strength.

He was almost killed by Blood Prison? Ryan, the extremely cruel guy who was the vice-captain of the Straw Hat team at that time.

"It's a pity that such a guy actually joined the Beasts Pirates!" A figure dressed as a drama actor, wearing a top hat and leaning on a cane, was tap dancing there, saying with regret

It was the Blackbeard Pirates' navigator, the "Devil Patrolman" Lafitte.

Although it is not 100% confirmed yet.

But I heard that Kaido has always liked to recruit people with animal-type abilities.

Since he has already appeared there in person, it is obviously unlikely that he will give up recruiting a strong man like Blood Prison Ryan.

With the overwhelming power of the Four Emperors of the New World, who are known as the "strongest creatures on land, sea and air."

He didn't think Blood Prison? Ryan would refuse.

"Let's put everything else aside, Captain Teach..."

Lafitte looked directly at Blackbeard and reminded him, "If we want to replace Sand Crocodile, who was recently killed by Blood Prison Ryan, and become the new Shichibukai, the World Government's condition is that we must prove our strength... Last time on Gaya Island, the Straw Hat Pirates escaped because of Blood Prison Ryan's interference!"

"We can't delay any longer, otherwise if the World Government allows someone else to become one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea, it will affect our next plan!"

"Hahaha, if you want to get those guys who won't release their eagles until they see the rabbit, the only way is to hunt those guys with bounties of hundreds of millions..."

Blackbeard stood up with high spirits, laughed and said, "If we really can't find the target, we can only go directly to the Sabaody Archipelago and wait for those 'supernovas' with bounties exceeding 100 million to come to us!"

As for hunting the Blood Prison? Ryan?
