Chapter 770: Hidden dangers emerge
In fact, compared to the original, Ace is now very strong. Whether it is domineering or fruit ability, it is quite rare at his age!
Ace fought against the entire Blackbeard Pirates alone. When fighting with Blackbeard, he was able to knock down all the other people who besieged him to the ground. Even Blackbeard was seriously injured by him.
However, Blackbeard is an old hand after all. He kept his Dark Water move hidden until the end, and caught Ace off guard when he used it. Ace's ability of the Flame-Flame Fruit became unusable, and he was also affected by the ability of the Dark-Dark Fruit, greatly reducing his mobility. In addition, his reserves of Haki were not as good as Blackbeard's, so he was ultimately defeated.
Blackbeard is not a weakling. He left three scars on Shanks' left eye a long time ago. Shanks and Whitebeard said that he was not careless at that time, so even if the two sides were in a melee at that time, Blackbeard's strength should not be underestimated.
At that time, both of them had no fruit abilities and were about the same age. The difference was in their subsequent growth. Red Hair relied entirely on his own efforts and experienced countless battles.
Blackbeard, on the other hand, was developing under the wings of Whitebeard. Due to different external pressures, there would definitely be a big deviation in the growth of the two. Therefore, the current strength of Blackbeard cannot be equated with that of Shanks.
But the talents of the two are definitely similar, it's just that their efforts are different in the same period of time, so Ace's performance of almost annihilating the Blackbeard Pirates was already incredible, and Victor's transformation of him was already quite successful.
But who made him meet Blackbeard? Just like Marco, he is also very powerful, but every time he fights, he either meets the admirals of the navy or the Four Emperors. It is difficult to prove his strength from his battle record, but you can't say that he is not strong!
Vic's bad premonition was confirmed by Sengoku, and they chatted about some unimportant things before leaving. He originally wanted to secretly take a look at Gion and the children, but his observation Haki could not sense the aura of Gion and the two children, so he turned into lightning and disappeared in the Marine Headquarters.
Vic's two children are fourteen years old this year, but with the help of Vic's illusions, they have grown into adults, the boy and the girl are handsome and mature in mind. With pure gold, Vic doesn't worry about forcing their growth.
All their knowledge and cognition came from the teachings of Vic and Gion in the illusion. The growth of the two was not at all contaminated by the brainwashing education of the navy. Now they are following Gion to explore the new world.
……
Just as Vic arrived at the Navy Headquarters, the Five Elders were also initiating a conversation among the powers in the Holy Land of Marijoa.
"Lord Yim sensed a weak fluctuation of the law yesterday, but it was so fleeting that he couldn't find the source. He suspected that someone had touched that realm again! This is absolutely not allowed. Roger was extinguished because he touched that realm!
We are all gathered here today to find this person. Each of us has a source of intelligence. Through this intelligence, we should be able to narrow down the scope of that person and finally eliminate the impossible person. "
The Five Elders all stayed in their favorite positions, pondering something, and then the standing blond Five Elder was the first to speak and break the silence.
“There won’t be many people who can reach that realm. They are either already strong or extremely talented. There are not many such people in the entire ocean. Following this line of thought, many people can be screened out. You can analyze the remaining people.” The bespectacled bald five elders continued.
"As for the strong ones, there are only so many. On the pirate side, there are four sea emperors, two Shichibukai, and the leader of the Revolutionary Army, Dragon, is one of them." The Shichibukai with the big sword beard continued.
"The navy has three admirals, Sengoku, Garp and Zephyr, Magellan who is pushing forward the city, and the commander-in-chief of the three armies, Kong!" said the goat-bearded Five Elder Stars.
"Many of those with extremely high talents have already become strong men, but Vegapunk is the only one who is not known for his fighting power. However, his talent is definitely not bad, and his potential is not small!"
Saint Satan has dealt with Vegapunk a lot and knows him better. He knows how terrifying his wisdom is. If such a person comes into contact with the laws, his speed of comprehension will be unimaginable.
"These are probably the people, but there must be some hidden ones. We will recruit them when they reveal their true colors. Now we have to find the light that crossed the line from among these people!"
The blond Five Elders concluded that, in fact, those who can break through to the realm of gods are not ordinary people, but very dazzling characters, so it is not difficult to find the objects of suspicion.
"Let's start by eliminating the navy. Kong is already very old. If he could have made a breakthrough, he would have done so long ago. The chances of him being the one is very small."
"As the Admiral of the Navy, Sengoku has too many things to worry about every day. He probably doesn't have time to practice. He can be ruled out."
"Zeff is similar. Although he was once a navy admiral, his talent is still a little worse. It is difficult for him to reach that level with his talent! In addition, he is not a esper, which will only make it more difficult!"
"Karp is the most talented among the three of them, and he has no injuries. Apart from some emergency missions, he is the most relaxed!
Recently, he seems to be training two little guys. If anyone in the navy can reach that level, it must be Garp, who was able to compete with Roger when he was young, so Garp must be listed as a key focus!"
"Although Garp has good talent, he is not a person with special abilities. It is very difficult for him to succeed on this path, but there is still a chance."
"That's not necessarily true. Roger wasn't a person with special abilities back then, but he almost broke through!"
"Besides the older generation, there are only three current admirals left in the navy. As for the backup for the admiral, there is still a long way to go."
"Whether it is one of the three generals, it is hard to say for sure. With their current status and strength, they have been sent out to carry out important tasks and guard important places. Unless there is a battle that breaks through the limit, it is difficult to judge how far they have come."
"Then put these three aside and think of a solution after eliminating the others."
"Magellan hasn't even solved the side effects of the fruit's ability, and his control over his own abilities is poor. He is definitely not the person he was last night. To be able to reach that realm, his abilities would have already been perfected, and he would only be short of the final transformation. Magellan obviously doesn't meet the requirements."
"Vegapunk has the smartest brain in the world, and he is also the user of the Brain-Brain Fruit. He is also doing research on brain power. Even if he doesn't practice martial arts, he can reach that level by developing his brain power.
Once he breaks through to that realm, even if he doesn't practice martial arts, his combat power will skyrocket, so Vegapunk must die!"
"Vegapunk is indeed going to die. We forced him to come here to do research, so he is definitely not on the same page with us. He will definitely leave when he becomes strong enough. He will also feel resentful about our previous actions and will definitely take revenge if he gets a chance!
But now is not the time to let him die. The android has been created, and the Seraph project is also on the agenda. It is better to wait until he creates the Seraph before killing him. I will find someone to keep an eye on him, and if there are any signs of trouble, he will be executed immediately!"
"Vegapunk can make this arrangement. The Shichibukai are too self-willed. It's time to replace them or make the androids obedient."
“Well, we have almost finished analyzing our side, let’s take a look at the others.
Whitebeard was once a strong man who fought against Roger and was undefeated. I am not surprised that he can reach that level as the strongest man now!
It's just that Whitebeard's body is plagued by injuries and illnesses, and he needs drugs to stay alive. Even if he touches that realm, he can't break through with his physical condition, so Whitebeard can be ruled out. "
"I don't think so. Garp and Sengoku are a few years older than Whitebeard, and they have no injuries at all. They have also been through constant battles, so why is Whitebeard suffering from injuries? Garp and Sengoku are intact?
Is it possible that Whitebeard is pretending? He and Roger were both enemies and friends when they were young. Is it possible that he knows something? So he deliberately shows weakness to the enemy? No matter what you think, I have reservations about Whitebeard! "
"What you said makes sense. It's easy to verify. Let's let Whitebeard fight and see how he performs. Isn't Garp also unsure? Then let's arrange a fight between them and see if the person last night was one of them."
"That's fine. The plan can be put on the agenda. We can make detailed plans later and talk about the others."
