Taoist priest, who is so popular in One Piece

Just as the live broadcast of the Straw Hat Pirates' vice-captain Byakuya began to intensify on the sea, many people even began to discuss what the World Government represented in this world.

It seems that many people have forgotten who the original protagonist was in the war that was destined to break out in a month.

There are dozens of large pirate groups next to an uninhabited island somewhere in the Grand Line, and in the middle of these pirate groups, there is an even larger ship being guarded.

Moby Dick.

At this time, a guest arrived on the ship.

"Gulala, you little brat, are you also Ace's brother?"

The white-bearded man, who was receiving an IV drip with a needle in his hand, looked at the blond man standing in front of him and laughed heartily.

"Yes, Ace, Luffy, and I drank the sworn brotherhood wine when we were very young, and we are brothers who have formed a deep bond."

Even when facing the strongest man in the world, Sabo still answered with dignity.

"It's just that some accidents happened before, causing me to lose those memories, and Ace and Luffy also thought I was dead."

At this time, Marco, who was sitting next to him, spoke up: "It's called... Sabo, right? I seem to have heard Ace mention this name."

"Yes, Ace did say he had a brother who died very early, and he showed me the tattoo on his arm."

On the other side, Diamond Joz also remembered something.

Just like that, amidst everyone's chatter, Sabo's identity was confirmed.

"Gulala, you seemed to have said before that you were the Chief of Staff of the Revolutionary Army."

"As expected of Ace's brother, then—"

Whitebeard held out his hand to Sabo: "Would you like to be my son?"

Hearing this, before Sabo could speak, Marco interrupted Whitebeard's next words and said, "Wait a minute, Dad. They have already said that they are from the Revolutionary Army. Really, don't say such unnecessary words at this time."

"Gulala! So what if he's a revolutionary? I won't limit my son's dreams."

Whitebeard seemed quite generous.

"I have sensed your magnanimity, but allow me to reject it."

Sabo raised his head and said, "And the reason I came to you this time is not to help the Revolutionary Army, but as a brother of Ace and Luffy, I came to seek your cooperation."

"I'm sure you all saw the previous live broadcast."

Seeing Sabo bring up serious matters, everyone on the Moby Dick also showed serious expressions.

"Well, that guy seems to be Ace's younger brother's vice captain."

Marco spoke first: "How bold of you to compare the Whitebeard Pirates with the disgusting World Government."

Although Marco said something that sounded angry, the smile on his face proved that he didn't seem as angry as he said.

"Although we don't care about being regarded as villains, I still like the way that guy mocks the World Government."

On the other hand, Flower Sword Vista, the swordsman master of the Whitebeard Pirates, directly expressed his affection.

"However, even if they kidnapped the Celestial Dragons and demanded that an admiral leave, I still don't think this will be of much help in rescuing Ace." The rugged-looking Diamond Joz expressed his doubts: "You, the Revolutionary Army, are also well aware of the power of the Navy and the World Government."

"In fact, it is helpful." Sabo said, "The significance of the White Night Live Broadcast is not to have the Celestial Dragons as hostages, or to have a general leave the battlefield, but to change the meaning of this war."

"When the entire ocean began to appear and the argument of [Whitebeard Government vs. World Government] began, the Navy's position of executing the pirate Ace in the name of justice was no longer solid."

"This is no longer a clash between pirates and the navy."

"In other words, for the Navy or the World Government, the goal of this war has changed. Destroying the Whitebeard Government and the Straw Hat Pirates has become their new strategic goal."

"Ace's death is no longer important. In fact, they will let Ace live so that you can stay in Marinford as long as possible, until you can never leave."

Bai Ye did not tell Sabo these words, or rather, Bai Ye had never thought about it in this direction at all.

The purpose of what he did has been achieved. As for saving Ace, Bai Ye was prepared to speak with strength from the beginning.

But Sabo is different. As the Chief of Staff of the Revolutionary Army, any war needs to be analyzed and summarized for him, let alone this unprecedented war.

Naturally, he had his own reasons for saying these words to the Whitebeard Pirates, and this was also what Byakuya asked Sabo to do.

At this moment, Sabo looked at Whitebeard and stated his purpose:

"On the premise that Ace's life is guaranteed to a certain extent, I hope that everyone in the Whitebeard Pirates will no longer make saving Ace their primary goal."

"It is to contain the navy's elite forces to the greatest extent possible, and the outcome of this war is——"

Looking at the man who holds the title of the world's strongest, Sabo's tone even has a hint of high spirits:

"Let the Straw Hat Pirates decide!!!"

...

After Sabo said this, the entire ship fell into silence.

After a moment, a loud laugh sounded in Sabo's ears.

"Really? Is this really an invitation?"

Marco on the side said to Sabo: "Listen carefully, Ace's brother."

"We, the Whitebeard Pirates, are very grateful for the help of the Straw Hat Pirates, and even recognize the alliance that the Heavenly Master boy mentioned. But——"

Marco's eyes narrowed slightly, and his entire temperament changed from unruly to what a captain of the First Division of the Four Emperors Pirate Group should be like.

He slowly said, "Asking the Whitebeard Pirates to act as a cover for the Straw Hat Pirates is underestimating us."

"Our dad is the strongest in the world!!!"

For Marco, who had followed Whitebeard the longest, Sabo's words were a provocation to his father, and he naturally could not tolerate it.

Sabo also understood what Marco meant. Just as he was about to explain the reason, Whitebeard's loud voice sounded again:

"Gulala! They are really a brave bunch of little fellows."

Unlike Marco, Whitebeard, who has already stood at the top of the pyramid of this world, has reached another level in both vision and mind.

So when faced with Sabo's words, Whitebeard's first reaction was to admire the Straw Hat gang.

Because if you think about it carefully, you will know that the Straw Hat Pirates made such a decision.

The point is not to look down on the Whitebeard Pirates, nor is it to disrespect Whitebeard.

Instead, they are ready to face the top forces of the Navy and the World Government.

This alone was enough to win Whitebeard's admiration.

However, bravery alone cannot convince Whitebeard.
