"Right now, Fire Fist Ace is chasing your whereabouts by himself. I believe you don't need me to tell you about his purpose!" Adrian said with a smile.
"The candidate you mentioned is Ace?" Blackbeard's face suddenly became gloomy, and he stared at Adrian with a dark gaze. "Hmph, although Ace's popularity and bounty are higher than those of the Straw Hats, the danger is also higher. It is very unwise to choose such a powerful target to capture!"
During the period when Blackbeard was the member of Whitebeard Pirates, he had a pretty good relationship with Ace. Even the captain of the second division was offered to Ace by him. So he has a fairly deep understanding of Ace's strength.
"Hey, if you knew Ace's true identity, I'm afraid you wouldn't be so scrupulous!"
"Real identity?" A puzzled look appeared on Blackbeard's face. Being with Ace for so long, he really doesn't know much about other party's life.
"What if I told you his real name wasn't Portgas D. Ace, but... Gol D. Ace!" Adrian smiled charmingly.
The fuse of the Summit War in the original book was that Blackbeard captured Ace and handed it over to the World Government in exchange for the identity of a Warlord of the Sea. Not only Adrian, do not want to change this result, but he also wants the Summit War to surpass its original scale and become an unprecedented super battle. So he had to fully arouse the greed and ambition in Blackbeard's heart.
"What did you say!!" Blackbeard's expression instantly became extremely exaggerated, his chin almost dropped to the ground, and his eyeballs almost popped out.
Staring at Adrian blankly for a long time as if petrified, he suddenly came back to his senses, his eyes suddenly filled with a hot light that far surpassed before.
"Xihahahaha, this news is simply too unexpected!"
"That guy Ace is actually the son of Roger, the pirate king. No wonder Dad favoured him so much..."
Blackbeard once thought that Ace might be the son of some big shot, but he still hadn't dare to think about Roger who started the era of pirates.
"Well, you are right, he is indeed the most suitable candidate! With him, the World Government will definitely not refuse my request!"
A flattering smile suddenly appeared on Blackbeard's face, and his eyes were full of uncontrollable greed and lust for power. "There is no problem with leaving the Straw Hat kid with you, but... May I ask where do I go to catch Ace?"
As a big gambler who dared to bet his own life, how could Blackbeard miss this gamble. And just now he has thought of a more perfect plan.
Dad, your Tremor Fruit is mine!!
"I want this sniper, promise me and I'll tell you!" Adrian smiled slyly and pointed to Van Augur, who kept aiming his gun at his head, and no matter how the boat bumped, his arms remained steady.
Of the four current members of the Blackbeard Pirates, only Van Augur, who is excellent in sniping, was enough to catch his eye.
Blackbeard nodded almost without hesitation. "Xihahahaha, as long as Van Augur agrees, I will stop him.. If he doesn't agree, how about I give you his body?!"
Blackbeard has no emotional bond with his crew at all. Everyone is just a bargaining chip to him, on his way to success. For him to abandon the crew, it's the simplest thing. He's not even ashamed of it.
"This is fate!" Although Van Augur had already guessed the result, he was still disgusted by Blackbeard's actions. With a helpless look on his face, Van Augur put down his sniper rifle and walked toward Adrian.
Yet he hadn't even taken two steps, when Adrian's playful voice came from the front side.
"Forget it, I don't want him anymore!"
Van Augur stopped where he was in embarrassment, now neither advancing nor retreating.
"Xihahahaha, that's great, I was still a little bit reluctant about giving away my sniper...but you can tell me now!" Blackbeard said pretending.
But anyone could see the perfunctory look on his face. There is only one thing he cares about right now, where is Ace?
"You don't need to go out looking for him, just go to Banaro Island and wait for him to come to your door... Within three days, Ace will arrive!" Adrian said lightly, and then his figure turned into a blue lightning and rushed into the sky, not afraid that Blackbeard and his gang could attack from behind.
But before leaving, he took a meaningful look at Van Augur. The resentful eyes of the other party have already expressed their attitude: Why don't you take me away? How will I lbe able to get along with the Blackbeard Pirates in the future?
Once the rift between Van Augur and Blackbeard was created, it would never be healed. Adrian is not in a hurry to subdue this sniper now.
"Ahem...Captain, are we really going to let those brats go?" After Adrian left, Doc Q, who hadn't spoken all this time, spoke out of breath.
The brat he was talking about was naturally Luffy and crew on the other side who still looked dazed and didn't know what happened. Although Doc Q always gives people a terminally ill, dying appearance. But in fact, he is the strongest one in the Blackbeard pirate group right now except Blackbeard. It's just that he is very good at hiding his strength.
"Xihahahaha, it's okay, let them go, they have no value to me anymore, the most important thing for us right now is to go to Banaro Island and wait for Ace!" After learning of Ace's true identity, Luffy's crew is worthless in Blackbeard's eyes.
Blackbeard raised his hands excitedly and laughed loudly: "Ace, I told you a long time ago, the reunion is inevitable, but the day we meet again... it will be your end!"
As for Adrian, Blackbeard decided to re-invite him once he gets the Tremor-Tremor Fruit. If by then he is still ignorant of his powers, then Adrian's Thunder Fruit will also his!.
Thinking of this, the smile on Blackbeard's face grew wilder. He never realized it at all, that Adrian has already seen through his plan. And the reason why he was able to leave this sea encounter, it's all because Adrian thinks he still has some use value. As for the future "Summit War" that Blackbeard regards his rising stage, it was destined to become Adrian's one-man show alone.
