"Heh heh heh, Fleet Admiral Sengoku, Ace actually has a special, unknown identity, one I'm certain you will find interesting."
When Blackbeard said this, his tone was like that of a cunning fox; he was clearly intent on revealing Ace's true identity. Not only that, but this was also part of his plan: if he could not make Ace useful to him and turn him into his subordinate, then he would simply destroy him.
"Teach, you bastard who hasn't even grown all his teeth, don't you dare say it!" Ace's face instantly became as dark as a storm cloud, and he immediately bellowed at the top of his lungs, his face filled with rage and terror.
"Silence!" Sengoku was clearly intrigued. He suddenly unleashed his Conqueror's Haki and roared, causing Ace to instantly freeze in place as if under a paralysis spell.
Seeing this, Blackbeard was inwardly startled. This Fleet Admiral actually possessed Conqueror's Haki; he had hidden it very well!
At the same time, a hint of envy flashed in his eyes, as he did not yet possess this thing.
However, he firmly believed that as his ambition continued to swell, he would one day become a man who possessed Conqueror's Haki, for how else could he be worthy of his immense ambition and firm resolve to pursue his dream?
Thinking of this, the figure of the Straw Hat, Luffy, appeared in Teach's mind, and he couldn't help but let out a sinister laugh inwardly.
Although he was slightly displeased with that boy who was always stubbornly pursuing his dreams, he still acknowledged him.
However, it was obvious that because of Ace's situation, his relationship with Luffy had already broken.
But so what? This was fundamentally a world where the strong preyed on the weak. If Luffy had the ability, he should come and take revenge on him in the future, provided he could even reach that point.
Nevertheless, Teach was full of anticipation, as he certainly did not want his journey to be too smooth; he needed opponents to sharpen himself.
"Alright, Blackbeard Teach, continue. What exactly is his special identity?" Sengoku retracted his Conqueror's Haki and turned toward Blackbeard Teach. His eyes were still full of curiosity, accompanied by an unwavering firmness.
"Zehahaha, I'll tell you, Sengoku. Ace's full name is Portgas D. Ace. In other words, he is Roger's son; Roger's blood flows within him."
Blackbeard said, revealing an evil smile.
And after he finished speaking, Sengoku was utterly shocked. Ace's identity was more serious than he had imagined, at least for their side.
Pirate King Roger, that bastard, actually left behind an heir.
Ace's eyes were filled with complex emotions: astonishment, anger, and a hint of despair.
This guy actually knew his identity.
But at the same time, he understood that he might cause a lot of trouble for his father and the others next. Although he was reckless, he was not stupid; he could figure this out easily.
He glared at Blackbeard and said through gritted teeth, "You bastard... how dare you expose my background!"
"Ace, I was merely telling the truth," Blackbeard said with a wicked smile. This guy was truly an arch-villain!
Sengoku's expression also became very grim. He mused inwardly, "I never expected Ace to be the One Piece's son... This will bring enormous consequences for the Marines."
To be honest, he had already planned to use Ace against Whitebeard, but with the added identity of Pirate King Roger's son, he absolutely had to inform the Five Elders, and once the announcement was made, this plan had to be executed.
Whether it was to completely sever Roger's bloodline or to reclaim the morale and dignity lost by the Marines and the World Government due to the Pink Hat Pirates, they absolutely had to be confident this time, regardless of the obstacles, even if it meant risking war with Rocks' Granddaughter.
But at the same time, this matter was too significant; he needed to gather the Marines for another meeting first.
Wait a moment, a meeting... Garp.
Sengoku's face suddenly changed dramatically, because if he remembered correctly, Ace was Garp's adopted grandson, wasn't he?
No, why was such a troublesome matter involved again? And it had to be related to that bastard Garp.
Thinking of this, Sengoku immediately got another headache. However, he quickly took action: first, he sent Blackbeard away, promising him the status of a Warlord of the Sea.
At the same time, he immediately ordered men to take Ace to Impel Down first.
After doing all this, Sengoku immediately decided to convene another Marine meeting, but it would take a few days, as many high-ranking officials were currently away from Marineford.
As for telling the Five Elders about this matter, he would wait until after this meeting concluded.
However, it was clear that the Marines were about to get busy again, and this time, the plan absolutely had to be executed, even if it meant temporarily setting the Pink Hat Pirates aside.
After all, this matter was related to the Marines raising their banner again and having their morale boosted, and the same went for the World Government...
Time passed like this, and a new day arrived. Even Luna and her crew, even without passing through Fish-Man Island, could not reach the Sabaody Archipelago in just half a day.
Thus, a new day quickly dawned.
But at the same time, the Deserted Island welcomed a new, uninvited guest, and he had already arrived without warning. It had only been one day since Mihawk arrived.
The newcomer, at this moment, was aboard a large three-masted sailboat with a Dragon figurehead that appeared on the sea not far from the Deserted Island.
Most importantly, the Revolutionary Army flag was displayed on it, with the Revolutionary Army symbol painted on the sailcloth.
At the same time, a person stood on the bow. He was clad entirely in a dark green double-robe, and he had a red mark on his face that looked very much like a tattoo, or perhaps a slipper print.
His identity naturally went without saying: the leader of the Revolutionary Army, Monkey D. Dragon of the Revolutionary Army.
"Hahaha, we've finally arrived," Dragon laughed loudly at this moment.
Because he felt as if he could already see a large pile of highly advanced weapons waving at him.
As for whether he could negotiate successfully, he was confident. After all, for one thing, they had no ill will toward the Pink Hat Pirates and shared a common enemy. He believed in Luna's intelligence, thinking ability, and overall strategic view.
And there was the most important point: since she was his son's friend, she should at least give him, a father, some face.
He also believed that given Luna's intelligence network, she couldn't possibly be unaware of this.
However, at the same time, on the Deserted Island, The Girls had just finished breakfast. The other girls had all entered the Time-Space Training Room to cultivate, and the Be Group was learning Haki under Umeumi Keiko's guidance, having already achieved some results.
And at this moment, the person responsible for watch duty today was Tatsumaki.
Thus, she naturally noticed Dragon's arrival.
