"Marshal Sengoku applied to resign from the World Government because of his failed decision-making when fighting the Whitebeard Pirates."

As soon as the words came out, the expressions of Marco and Jinpei on the opposite side immediately changed.

There is a saying that sometimes your opponent is the one who knows you best, and this statement is also applicable in the world of returning thieves.

As the second-in-command of the Yonko Pirates and the former King Shichibukai, Marco and Jinbe both knew what Sengoku's resignation meant.

The handover of the navy marshal, the almost complete withdrawal of the older generation from the stage of history, the conflict of ideas between the three generals, and the new four emperors that Seti just mentioned...

None of these things are a big problem individually, but if they are connected in series, they are very thought-provoking.

Seeing the changing expressions of the two people, Seti no longer concealed anything from the two of them, and simply revealed the whole main body of the plan.

From the marshal battle between Akainu and Aoji, to the relationship between himself and Zefa, and Zefa's initial decision to leave the navy.

"...Now can you understand what I mentioned about the new Yonko?"

Yes, Sett's idea is to make the neo-new navy like the Blackbeard Pirates in the original work, swallowing up the original forces of the Whitebeard Pirates from the initial stage, taking root directly in the new world, and becoming a force

The gray force between the Yonko and the Navy.

At that time, the Revolutionary Army and the Navoli Chamber of Commerce will be responsible for the movements of the Grand Line, while the neo-new navy will be based on the new world, coupled with Seti's own relationships within the navy.

The combination of the three is enough to weave a huge network that connects the entire world.

As soon as the Beast Pirates and Big Mom Pirates fall, this net will quickly tighten and swallow up the entire World Government, making this deformed existence that has lasted for eight hundred years become history.

Jinbei and Marco stared at Seti with their mouths open, feeling that they had fallen into some kind of huge trap step by step without even realizing it.

Although they still don't know the full scope of Seti's influence, they can tell from listening to Seti's current story that he is building a force that includes the navy and pirates, far surpassing the Roger Pirates and Locke.

The terrorist force of the Si Pirates.

After Marco was silent for a while, he suddenly stared at Seti with burning eyes and said word by word:

"Vice Admiral Seti, you are a navy and I am a pirate. If you tell me such a thing now, aren't you afraid that I will turn around and tell these secrets to the other three Yonko?

Don’t you think that for us, the other three emperors who are also pirates are more worthy of trust?”

Facing Marco's inquiry, Seti's expression remained unchanged, and he just said lightly:

"If you were despicable people who would do such a thing, then you wouldn't try to rescue Ace without hesitation."

Hearing this, Marco and Jinbe fell into silence. At this moment, they had more or less realized that the navy in front of them seemed different from the navy in their minds.

Seeing Marco fall into silence, Seti's heart moved. After thinking for a while, he continued:

"Believe me, Marco, the islands owned by the Whitebeard Pirates will definitely be more peaceful if they are placed here by me than if they are taken away by the Big Mom Pirates or Kaido Pirates!

In addition, I can also assure you that after we inherit the islands occupied by the Whitebeard Pirates, as long as you do not do anything illegal or disorderly on these islands, we will never take action against you."

"What will you do if I don't agree with this plan?"

Marco looked into Seti's eyes, and the flames of resurrection were vaguely beating in his hands.

"If there is no way to solve this matter without bloodshed, then we can only join the battle between the other three pirate groups. With our current strength, it shouldn't be a problem to seize a certain amount of territory."

When he said this, Seti did not deliberately release his momentum or kill, and his tone was indeed full of confidence.

He is confident that his current strength is capable of achieving such results.

Even without the addition of Aokiji, Teacher Zefa and his group of proud disciples, plus Iska and others, as well as the more than 200 elite Celestial Dragon slaves at the headquarters of the Navoli Chamber of Commerce, these

The combined strength is enough to compete with any of the Yonko Pirates.

Even if it was a head-on robbery, Seti was confident that he could achieve the desired effect.

Listening to the strong confidence in Seti's words, Marco let out a long sigh and sighed almost as if he was surrendering:

"It's really been figured out from the beginning..."

In fact, he really had no better choice, and Seti's words were absolutely correct.

We are all pirates living in the new world, and we all know clearly what kind of attitude we have toward the people on the islands under our control.

If the people who were once protected by Dad are allowed to be oppressed by those bastards from the Beast Pirates and Big Mom Pirates, then it would be better to leave them to Sett to manage. At least this guy has shown his performance in the War on the Top.

This is a commendable humanistic care.

In addition, Setti is willing to promise that everyone in the White Group will have a place to live and move freely on various islands. If Big Mom or Kaido takes it, then they will probably only join each other and die.

These are the two options.

"As the captain of the Whitebeard Pirates, I can agree to your conditions, but you also know that the heir of the Whitebeard Pirates is Ace, not me, so as long as you can convince Ace,

Then let’s finalize this matter.”

This was what Sett had expected. Unlike the ending in the original book where both Ace and Whitebeard died in the war at the top, now Ace, the designated heir of the Whitebeard Pirates, is still alive and well.

Woolen cloth.

If Ace is not moved, even if Marco is dealt with, it will be in vain.

"I will try my best to persuade Ace... Although this matter has not been completely finalized, I still want to tell you in advance that your choice is wise. I can guarantee that you will never

I regret today’s decision.”

While the people here were talking, a burst of heart-wrenching cries suddenly came from not far away. Upon hearing this sound, the spirits of Seti and the other three people were lifted.

Marco was about to go over to comfort Ace, but Seti held him back at this moment:

"Wait a little longer, give the young couple some time."

Marco was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then scratched his head:

"It should, it should..."

The three of them stayed where they were and talked nonsense for a while before walking back to where Ace and Iska were.

After Sett's treatment, Ace gradually regained consciousness, just as Sett had expected. When he woke up, he was like Luffy who witnessed Ace's death in the original work, and fell into an almost self-destructive mood.

But one thing that is better than Luffy is that Ace is not single, and he still has Iska by his side at this time.

Seeing the grief of his beloved, Iska couldn't help but stepped forward and hugged Ace. Under Iska's soft comfort, Ace's mood calmed down a bit. Although he still felt a little self-pity, he thought it was okay after all.

Not as crazy as before.

Seeing Seti and the other three walking out of the jungle, Ace reluctantly left Iska's arms, and then followed Iska's eyes and dragged his heavy steps to Seti's side.

After a moment of pause, Ace finally lowered his head and bowed ninety degrees to Seti:

"I'm sorry, Seti, I shouldn't have done that just now..."

Ace has lived at the Terminal of Uncertain Objects for so many years. In fact, he is no stranger to things like interest exchange. He actually knows why his father must stay in Malinfando even though he can leave.

The reason is there.

It's just that he was unwilling to face such a fact before, so he kept running away and forcibly pinned the name of his father's murderer on Seti's head.

At this time, Sett gave him a lesson, and after Iska told him how he was worried about Ace's execution and Sett's efforts to save him, he realized that he had committed the crime before.

What a stupid mistake.

Therefore, when he saw Seti coming out just now, he immediately came up to apologize to Seti.

Seeing that Ace took the initiative to apologize, Seti did not continue to deliberately sarcastically ridicule him.

He didn't dislike Ace in the first place. Even if Ace forced the blame on him, in Sett's view, it was just a 20-year-old boy evading responsibility.

Now that Ace has realized his mistake, Sett is willing to get along with him as usual.

After lightly patting Ace on the shoulder, he once again took out what Jinbe said to Ace, which was also what he wanted to tell Ace in advance in Impel Down:

"I said those words before, not to make you feel as guilty as you are now, but to tell you that what you have to do now is not to stay here and blame yourself for why they died instead of you.

What you have to do should be to shoulder their share and live well! What has passed away has passed away, and what you have to consider now is what else you have!"

Hearing what Sett said, Ace subconsciously turned his head and glanced at Iska, who had been watching him silently. In addition, there were everyone on the Spade. It took so much effort to

The members of the Whitebeard Pirates who he rescued, and the idiot brother who had been following him in the past, but this time he almost risked his life for him.

"Take their share and live well...think about what else you have..."

The more he thought about it, the brighter Ace's eyes became. Both Iska and Marco could clearly feel that Ace's aura had undergone a huge change in just a short moment.

"I understand, thank you, Seti."

Taking the cowboy hat from Marco and putting it on his head, Ace bowed deeply to Seti again. This time, he didn't look as sad as last time. Ace had a long-lost smile on his face.

.

"Don't be in a hurry to thank me. In fact, I came here for my own selfish reasons..."

With that said, Seti recounted what he had told Marco before in the jungle.

After hearing Seti's story, Ace agreed to Seti's conditions without much hesitation.

Unlike Marco, who only had a relationship with Seti during the Summit War, Ace had met Seti in Shampoo Land as early as three years ago. Everyone in Asby who had personally experienced the incident in Shampoo Land that year

They all know more clearly that Seti is a more upright navy than Iska.

It would definitely be much better to hand over the islanders who are now unable to be protected by the Whitebeard Pirates to the new navy that Seti mentioned, rather than being usurped by the Beasts Pirates or the Big Mom Pirates.

Or maybe he was shocked by how quickly Ace agreed, so Marco subconsciously pulled Ace and whispered:
To be continued...
