Meanwhile, in the East Blue, the leader of the Revolutionary Army, Dragon, watched the footage of Whitebeard and Roger's conversation, as well as Whitebeard's final words, deep in thought.
If there truly existed a means to overthrow the World Government in ONE PIECE, then the Revolutionary Army must obtain it.
Although he didn't have the time to pursue such a thing, he had a son, right? Luffy always talked about becoming the Pirate King, didn't he?
Luffy was also a member of the "D" clan, so in that case, let Luffy go and test the words spoken by Roger.
At this moment, the words spoken by Whitebeard in the footage caused a great stir worldwide.
On the Moby Dick, the members of the Whitebeard Pirates were unable to hold back their tears as they witnessed Whitebeard's death scene.
Their father died at Marine Headquarters, all for their sake.
And he was killed by that bastard, Teach.
What infuriated the Whitebeard Pirates even more was that their father didn't lay a hand on Teach in the end. Despite not taking revenge, Teach not only showed no gratitude for sparing his life but turned around and killed their father.
This guy deserved to be killed!
Some of them immediately wanted to go and deal with this traitor.
Teach's heart sank when he saw himself killing Whitebeard in the footage and noticed his former comrades becoming filled with murderous intent. He quickly ran to Whitebeard's side, begging for mercy. He knew that the only one who could save him now was Whitebeard.
"Father, I was wrong. I truly know I was wrong."
However, Whitebeard ignored him completely. He had completely lost faith in Teach.
Even because he had been mentally prepared for this, when he saw Teach killing him, he didn't even feel much anger. He simply felt pity. He had never cared about becoming the Pirate King or finding ONE PIECE. When Roger wanted to tell him about it, he wasn't interested.
All along, his family had been his priority.
But he never expected that one of his subordinates would have such strong ambitions for the Pirate King and ONE PIECE.
Whitebeard waved his hand, signaling the others not to kill Teach. This was their home, and he didn't want to see brother fighting against brother on the Moby Dick. Even though Teach betrayed him, he had been his son for over twenty years and their brother for over twenty years.
He didn't want to see them dirtying their hands, burdened with the guilt of killing their own brother. Teach was capable of doing such things, but he didn't want others to do the same.
Whitebeard pushed Teach aside and didn't pay him any further attention. He would deal with Teach after the live broadcast ended.
What interested him more was another matter: What was Teach's true purpose for coming to Marine Headquarters?
Was it merely to kill him? Did he hate him that much?
But the footage stopped at this point, only showing Whitebeard's figure standing tall even after his death.
And there was Blackbeard, laughing madly upon hearing that ONE PIECE truly existed.
Not long after, the live footage from around the world switched back to the Moby Dick.
Luo ke looked at the audience on the screen and said, "Welcome back. The footage you just watched was related to the first five questions. I hope you enjoyed it.
Now, let's return to the live quiz session. We will continue with the next set of questions.
There are still five questions remaining. The question is: What was the true intention of the Blackbeard Pirates during the Summit War?
Here are the four options: A. Eliminate the Marines, B. Eliminate the Whitebeard Pirates, C. Demonstrate their strength to the world, D. Obtain Whitebeard's Gura Gura no Mi Devil Fruit power.
You have two minutes to answer. The countdown begins now."
Finally, the question that Whitebeard and many others were curious about had been asked.
They had been wondering about this matter before.
Why did Blackbeard Teach run to Marine Headquarters at this time? Did he really think that after recruiting a bunch of people in Impel Down, he could easily destroy Marine Headquarters?
If it were that easy, Whitebeard wouldn't have met his demise.
Moreover, when they looked at the Summit War as a whole, they realized one thing: Among the high-ranking forces on the Marine side, it seemed that besides Akainu, who was using all his tactics and fighting with all his might but ended up being gravely injured and in an uncertain state of life and death...
It seemed like the others didn't contribute much at all.
We won't talk about Admiral Garp for now. He had already shown his incompetence when dealing with Luffy before; it was almost a foregone conclusion.
As for the others, like Aokiji, it appeared that after initiating the Ice Age, they didn't make much of an impact after their initial clash with Whitebeard. It made people wonder if they were just slacking off.
Two out of the Three Admirals were like this, and the others, like Garp, seemed to have made a move only once when fighting against Luffy. As for Garp, after being hit by Luffy's punch and falling to the ground, he didn't make any further moves.
Upon realizing this, it seemed that the main fighting force within the Marines was still intact. So, Blackbeard Teach, what confidence did you have in causing trouble here?
Were you afraid that the Marines wouldn't know that you had caused trouble in Impel Down? Did you purposely bring those several notorious pirates imprisoned there to Marine Headquarters to taunt and mock the Warlords?
Weren't you afraid of leaving your newly formed Blackbeard Pirates behind?
These doubts had been lingering in everyone's minds for a long time, but they still couldn't understand what Teach was planning to do.
However, they all felt that this guy's purpose for coming here was not simple. It had already been proven that Teach could even outwit Sengoku, so he wouldn't do something without a purpose.
Since he had come, there must be a reason.
The crowd began to contemplate the options given by Luo ke
A. Eliminate the Marines.
This option didn't need any consideration; it was undoubtedly incorrect. The high-ranking forces of the Marines were still intact. Blackbeard going to eliminate the Marines was absurd.
B. Eliminate the Whitebeard Pirates.
This was a possibility. When they saw Blackbeard making a bold move to Marine Headquarters to kill Whitebeard, they couldn't help but wonder about the reason.
Some people speculated privately, wondering if Teach had been too frustrated being considered Whitebeard's son for over twenty years. After all, who would willingly be someone else's son if they weren't their biological child?
Teach, a guy who wanted to become the Pirate King, must have an extremely arrogant mentality and considered this situation as his own disgrace.
So, after gaining power, he wholeheartedly wanted to cleanse himself of the shame he had endured in the past, thus aiming to kill Whitebeard.
There were quite a few believers in this speculation, so they thought it was highly likely that Blackbeard coming to the Summit War was indeed to eliminate the Whitebeard Pirates.
And it was also to remove future troubles.
Blackbeard caused Ace's death. If he didn't eliminate the Whitebeard Pirates, he could forget about ever having peace. Whitebeard would have hunted him for the rest of his life. So, this time, he probably came with the intention of cutting off all future problems.
As for the third option, demonstrating his strength to the world, that was naturally possible.
This is a public execution. If Blackbeard can demonstrate outstanding strength in this war, he will be able to establish his power after the Summit War.
It would be a great opportunity for his personal debut, a good choice.
As for the fourth option.
When the option was mentioned, characters like Kaido, Whitebeard, and many others were puzzled.
..... .... ....
Seizing Whitebeard's Gura Gura no Mi ability, what does that mean?
Could it be that Blackbeard Teach is capable of taking Whitebeard's Gura Gura no Mi ability for himself?
This idea immediately startled everyone.
It is well known that each person can only possess one Devil Fruit ability; it is impossible to have a second one.
There has never been a true case of someone having two Devil Fruit abilities in the world.
Even the Pacifistas developed by the Marine Science Unit only have corresponding weapons installed on their modified bodies; these modified individuals are not genuine Devil Fruit users.
Therefore, when they heard about the ability to seize Whitebeard's Gura Gura no Mi ability, they quickly dismissed this speculation and shifted to another guess.
When a Devil Fruit user dies, their Devil Fruit ability leaves their body and randomly seeks out a new fruit to attach to, turning it into a Devil Fruit. The person who consumes this fruit will become the new Devil Fruit user.
This is not a secret; many people are aware of it.
Characters like Kaido and Doflamingo immediately thought of this possibility.
However, such occurrences have many uncertainties because the birth of a new Devil Fruit is random. It is not guaranteed that holding a fruit will perfectly and accurately grant the desired Devil Fruit ability; there is a high chance of failure.
Otherwise, hunting Devil Fruit users to obtain their abilities would become a trend.
If Blackbeard really wants to seize the Gura Gura no Mi ability, it means he has great confidence in accomplishing this.
At this point, they all thought of one thing: Blackbeard Teach's Devil Fruit ability, the Yami Yami no Mi, could it possibly have such capabilities?!
Suddenly, Kaido was shocked, Doflamingo was shocked, and people all around the world were astonished...
This was not an ordinary matter. If this were true, all Devil Fruit users around the world would become targets.
Previously, they only thought they needed to be cautious around the Yami Yami no Mi, but now they just wanted to stay as far away as possible.
Could such a terrifying ability really exist in this world?
