Rebirth in One Piece as Deputy Captain - Chapter 289

On the sea, the addition of Ace made the Merry merrier.

“It’s really amazing, Ace has become one of us. Cheers!”

Besides, Ace is sitting on the barrel, holding the wine glass and asking with a confused look: “Hey, when did I say that I would join you.”

Looking at the confused Ace, Nami explained with a smile: “Don’t mind it, they are just looking for a reason to toast.”

Ace helplessly smiled, then as if thinking of something, he turned his head and asked, “You are called Nami, the navigator.”

Nami was taken aback, and then nodded, “It seems I’ve been introduced to you.”

Ace took a sip of wine with a different smile on his face, “However, to be honest, the person I am most interested in is you.”

“Me?” Nami pointed at herself with a puzzled face.

“Well, listening to Luffy and Lin Tian that you like Lin Tian, if you follow my relationship with Lin Tian then I should just call you my sister-in-law.

Nami immediately was stunned, and then her cheeks flushed, she was extremely shy, covering her face, but not at all retorted. It seems that Nami still accepts this name.

“Hey, Ace, you’re taking advantage of me again. I am obviously older than you. Aren’t you ashamed to say that I am your younger brother? The big brother should be me.”

Lin Tian jumped down from the top, and was seated next to Nami, close to Nami, raised his finger, and warned.

After taking a bite of the barbecue in his hand, Luffy suddenly spoke and changed the subject, “Ace, you really won’t join us?”

“I’m hunting a man.” after taking a drink, Ace continued: “His name is Blackbeard.”

Hearing this name, Lin Tian’s whole body shook, and the smile on his face slowly disappeared and became heavy. This name has a special meaning.

It seems that just like fate, Blackbeard has embarked on the road of betrayal. Ace hunted him all the way to here. Blackbeard, a man buried in the dark, finally began to appear.

Does the end of an old era and the beginning of a new era have to begin this way?

“Blackbeard?”

Vivi said, “It’s the pirate attacking Drum Island, right?”

“What?” Lin Tian brows slightly wrinkle, turning his head to ask seriously: “Vivi, what is going on, why is Blackbeard on the Drum Island?”

Seeing big brother Lin Tian suddenly so serious, Vivi expression tightened, and quickly explained in detail: “That was what Usopp and I heard from Dalton. The king of the Drum kingdom ran away because of a group of pirates came to the kingdom. With the power of trifling a few people, they defeated the entire kingdom, so Wapol escaped with his army, and the leader of the group of pirates is Blackbeard.”

“Yeah.” Ace said aloud, “I also left a message specifically for Lin Tian about it, but now it seems that you haven’t received it.”

“Hey, now that we have all met, it doesn’t matter. Blackbeard was a member of the Whitebeard Pirates second team, which was my subordinate. He committed the most serious crime on the boat and killed his partner. Abandon the ship and flee, as a Captain I must find him and solve him.”

Usopp asked curiously: “So, you are still hunting him down.”

Ace said solemnly: “I came to this country, and I also heard that the intelligence said someone found him in the Emirates.”

Nami turned his head to look towards the silent Vivi, “So, we have the same purpose as you now.”

In fact, in Nami’s heart, he wanted to get Ace on board. Hearing from Lin Tian, he was the Great pirate of Bounty 550 million Berry, much better than Crocodile.

If he is there, even if Lin Tian doesn’t make a move, their success rate can be increased a lot. Although Lin Tian is there, the success rate is 100%, but just in case you know?

Take out the map he bought in the previous town, Vivi pointed to the map and said her plan, “Now the ship has entered the Sandora River and will log in at Erumalu. The edge of Arabasta is on the shore, and then go to Yuba, where the leader of the rebel army is.”

“If this is the case, we can be companied by Luffy’s big brother.” Nami exclaimed happily.

But before everyone showed a full smile of joy, Lin Tian, who was silent on the side, lightly popped out two words.

“No way!”

Lin Tian suddenly disagrees, scaring everyone, and there is deep puzzlement and doubt, they don’t know why Lin Tian would do this.

“Hey, Lin Tian, we finally saw Ace, why don’t you agree with it?” He was covering his hat, very puzzled.

Nami also expressed his doubts, “Yes, Lin Tian, it’s been a long time since you three brothers got together, but now is a good opportunity, why?”

“Lin Tian, what is going on, isn’t it good for Ace to join us.” Usopp said.

Sanji said, “Lin Tian, what happened?”

“Big brother Lin Tian?”

Compared with other people, Zoro is much wiser, “Do you know something we don’t know?”

Without answering Luffy’s question, Lin Tian stared at Ace’s eyes closely, and after a long silence, he withdrew his gaze, said solemnly.

“Ace, regarding Blackbeard, don’t pursue it. That’s it, stop here. Now go back to Whitebeard Pirates and New World. Don’t get involved in this matter.”

Although he doesn’t understand why Lin Tian said this, the brother’s feelings for many years have made Ace understand that there must be a basis for Lin Tian to say this, otherwise he would not say that.

Similarly, Ace took a sip of the wine in the glass and replied his tone very firmly: “No! Lin Tian, that Blackbeard; I must find and solve him, he was my subordinate, so I need to do it myself.”

Bang!

Lin Tian flashed, appeared in front of Ace, grabbed his collar, and slammed it towards the deck. Everyone on the side was immediately dumbfounded. It was really a fight when they couldn’t agree.

gu lu gu lu… the wine in the cup was spilled over the deck, and the cup that lost the wine, slowly moved towards the side along the deck. The Merry fell into a strange anger.

Bang! Looking at Ace in front of him, Lin Tian grabbed the collar and moved towards deck and hit fiercely again, “Ace, listen to me this time, don’t participate in Blackbeard’s affairs, you can’t go about this, you don’t understand.”

Ace only smiled, “Lin Tian, from the first day I met you, and until I became familiar with you later, I found that no matter what you do, even if you seem to be chaotic, but in fact, everything is always in your expectation. So, in the past, all things, as long as you said so, I won’t ask questions and agree with you, because I know we are brothers, but this time, you have to give me a reason not to go.”

Hearing this, Lin Tian sighed deeply, loosened his hands holding Ace’s collar tightly, and the whole person sat decadently on the deck.

After thinking about it, he asked first, “This time, the person killed by Blackbeard, among all captains, is it Thatch that got killed?”

Ace looked surprised. Regarding the killing of Thatch, his father gave a blockade order at the time. It hasn’t been long now, but after thinking of who Lin Tian is, he feels a lot less surprised, he nodded.

“Let’s put it this way, when we met last time, I wanted you to be very careful of Blackbeard, but I didn’t explain it to Whitebeard at the time.”

At that time, Lin Tian also thought that since there was still time, he didn’t take seriously, but then Roberts’ death, he slaughtered World Nobles, betrayed Marine… A series of things made him forget about it, cause it to be like this.

Ace was very puzzled. Lin Tian hasn’t even seen Blackbeard before, and how is he very familiar. He can’t help but ask, “Hey, Lin Tian, how do you know Blackbeard so well, do you…”

“Yes.” Lin Tian was slightly nodded, “I can only say, I know he is not very simple, do you know the three unhealed scratches next to Shanks’ eyes?”

Hearing Shanks, Luffy immediately became excited and very happy, “Ace, have you seen Shanks?”

“Yeah.” Ace replied. For this man who Luffy admired so much, he had been looking for him a few years ago, not to mention joining the Whitebeard Pirates later, so there were many opportunities to meet him.

“Shanks, I can’t wait to see him soon.” touching the Straw Hat on his head, Luffy looked forward to it.

Zoro asked, “Hey, Lin Tian, who is this Shanks you were always talking about. I have always listened to Luffy here.”

Ace explained with a smile, “He is Red Hair Shanks who is also known as Four Emperors with his father, and one of the four most powerful pirates on the Grand Line so far.”

Hearing this, everyone couldn’t help but sound like a suck in a cold breath. They didn’t expect Shanks, who Luffy had been talking about, to be so powerful to be among the Four Emperors.

“The three scratches on Shanks’ face were done by Blackbeard. Shanks once said that in Whitebeard Pirates, there are only two people he is most afraid of, one is Whitebeard and the other is Blackbeard.”

After finishing Lin Tian’s gaze, he stared at the pensive Ace, and said solemnly: “So, Blackbeard is not that simple. Don’t be impulsive about this matter. Go back to New World. You can’t interfere.”

When Lin Tian told him, Ace suddenly understood why when he was going to chase Blackbeard, Dad would stop him with a loud voice, maybe Dad also knew these things.

“Although I said that, I still have to find him and get him out of it. He was my subordinate, and I have to avenge my good partner. I must do it myself.”

Bang!

This time Lin Tian did not hold on to the ground, but directly shot, knocking Ace out, hitting the ship’s edge, and almost falling into the sea.

Grabbing the collar of Ace, Lin Tian pressed the anger in his heart, angrily said.

“Idiot, I told you so much, I just told you not to go, I didn’t want you to run and die here knowing there is danger.”
