Pirates: Justice at Sea

The dim sunset hung on the horizon, and its afterglow dyed everything golden, including the tall figure standing among the ruins.

"Daddy!!!"

Marco yelled, ran over and hugged Edward Newgate's thigh.

Tick!Tick!

Warm blood dripped onto Marco's cheeks, causing the excited Marco to freeze instantly!

"Dad?"

Marco said tentatively, then slowly raised his head and looked at Edward Newgate's face in disbelief.

Because his back was facing the light, Edward Newgate's face was shrouded in dark shadow, making Marco unable to see his face clearly.

"Dad..."

Marco's voice began to tremble, with a hint of crying.

However, Edward Newgate's body remained motionless, without any response...

A series of tears flowed down silently from Marco's sad face. This time he didn't cry at all, but just let the tears keep flowing down.

"navy……"

Marco roared in a low voice, his eyes reflecting the devouring rage, and his fists gradually clenched until his nails dug into his flesh!

pop~

Suddenly, a big hand slapped Marco on the head!

Marco was stunned for a moment, and then his body trembled violently!

"Marco..."

A hoarse and familiar voice reached Marco's ears.

"Dad..."

Marco murmured,

The next second, Marco's pupils suddenly shrank, and then he suddenly raised his head, his eyes full of tears as he looked at a big hand caressing him.

"Let's go back, Marco."

Edward Newgate said in a hoarse voice and looked at the sunset in the distance with extremely complicated eyes.

Marco nodded heavily, although he didn't know why the marine didn't kill them, but chose to leave.

But if dad doesn’t tell, he won’t ask.

Because Dad will never harm him...

………………

In the sky,

A giant eagle flapped its wings and soared above the sky, continuing towards the hinterland of the new world.

Aizen sat cross-legged on the back of the giant eagle, and his consciousness sank into the Zanpakutō space again.

Aizen, who had just entered the space, immediately saw Mr. Yamamoto fishing by the lake day after day.

Aizen smiled helplessly, walked into the wooden house beside him, picked up the writing brush on the table, and practiced calligraphy with all his heart.

………………

Rewind time to 5 minutes ago,

The dying Edward Newgate looked at Aizen who was approaching him step by step, struggling to get up, his right hand trembling to pick up Cong Yunqie who fell aside...

However, just when his hand was about to touch Cong Yunqie,

Boom!

Aizen kicked Cong Yunqi far away with just one kick~

Edward Newgate was not angry when he saw this, but his face darkened and he said in a hoarse voice: "I didn't expect that my journey would end here..."

Aizen didn't respond, just stood there quietly.

Edward Newgate took a deep breath, then slowly raised his head, and looked at Aizen with a determined expression on his face.

However, when he raised his head to look at Aizen, what caught his eyes was scarlet!

Next second,

A mysterious force invaded his mind, swallowing up and surrounding his consciousness!

And when Edward Newgate opened his eyes again, the scene in front of him changed drastically!

The vast expanse of green grassland, the blue sky, the beautiful lake, the gentle breeze...

"here it is……"

Edward Newgate said with a surprised look on his face.

"This is my monthly reading space."

A "familiar" voice suddenly sounded behind him!

Edward Newgate turned his head suddenly, made a fist with his right hand and waved it!

Bang!

Aizen caught his fist with just one finger;

Immediately afterwards, he saw that with a wave of his hand, countless vines came out of the ground and tied Edward Newgate tightly to the spot, unable to move at all!

Edward Newgate looked at his flaccid fist in shock. No matter how he pushed it, the power of the shock still couldn't be exerted!

"Don't waste your efforts. In this place, anyone except me can only be a lamb to be slaughtered and a fish on the chopping board."

Aizen said calmly, but with another wave of his hand, a set of tables and chairs appeared between the two of them.

The next second, two cups of steaming tea suddenly appeared on the wooden table.

"If you can be honest, I will let you go. After all, the main purpose of my coming today is to talk to you." Aizen said lightly.

Hearing this, Edward Newgate hesitated for a moment, then said, "Okay."

The voice fell,

The vines that entangled him instantly squirmed and retracted into the soil as if they were going back in time!

Edward Newgate stared blankly at the land that was the same as before, and it took a long time for him to regain his composure.

"sit down."

Aizen pushed the tea on the table to the opposite side and said calmly.

Edward Newgate didn't hesitate and sat down on the wooden chair. Then without any hesitation, he directly picked up the tea on the table in front of him and drank it all in one gulp!

"Ah~"

Edward Newgate couldn't help but groan~

After the tea fell into his throat, he felt that all the cells in his body seemed to be relaxed, and he let out a happy sound. It seemed that the fatigue he had been feeling for many days was liberated at this moment!

Aizen just glanced at him and then sipped his tea.

After Edward Newgate put the teacup back on the table, in the blink of an eye, the teacup was steaming again~

"This is my monthly reading space. Here, all factors including time, location, quality, etc. are under my control."

Aizen said lightly, that tone seemed to be talking about an insignificant matter.

"The reason why I brought you in is not to get rid of you here."

"Just because, only in this absolutely private space, our conversations will not be overheard."

Saying that, Aizen put down the teacup, and looked at Edward Newgate calmly with his eyes.

"I didn't come here this time to destroy your Whitebeard Pirates. Of course, if I really wanted to destroy it, you wouldn't be able to survive until now."

Edward Newgate heard the words and did not refute anything, because in the previous battles, Aizen had already proved his incomparable strength!

What Aizen said was indeed true, if he really wanted to wipe out the Whitebeard Pirates, he wouldn't have to wait until now!

As for what happened in the previous battle,

Edward Newgate guessed that it was probably to let him recognize the huge gap in power between the two, and to give himself a blow.

Of course, the most important role of this battle was to directly establish the two men's positions in the subsequent negotiations.
