One Piece: I am the Master of Black Magic

"Annie, what's going on? It's so serious?"

Everyone looked at Annie tinkering with the projector in confusion. Could it be that the meeting was about training?

"All right."

Anne pressed the button and two newspapers were projected on the giant screen.

"Today's training is to read newspapers..."

Before he finished speaking, everyone's eyes were attracted by the huge title and familiar photos on the giant screen.

"The leader of the Whitebeard Pirates' second division, Fire Fist Ace, has been detained in Impeldown"

"The leader of the second division of the Whitebeard Pirates, Fire Fist Ace, will be executed"

"Ai...Ace!"

After reading the words on the newspaper clearly, Luffy stood blankly on the spot, his face was pale, and he was in a trance as if he had lost his mind.

Nami realized in hindsight: "So, what Laura said is true. The burning of the life card means that the vitality of the owner of the life card is gradually declining."

Everyone looked at their captain, this incident must have been a big blow to Luffy.

"Luffy..."

Luffy lowered his head slightly, clenching his fists tightly on the table, and the veins on his forearms were bulging.

"Annie, is this news true?"

Luffy's voice had completely lost its usual sunny tone. It was low and soft, with some suppressed emotions, and was cold and cold.

"It's true, and."

Annie's eyes darkened.

"And there are only five days left until the public execution."

"what???"

"So fast!"

"why?"

"Aceta is not a very vicious pirate. Why should he be publicly executed?"

"The Whitebeard Pirates won't just sit back and do nothing, right?"

"stop!"

Annie interrupted everyone's chirping, sighed, and looked at Nami and Zoro.

"Do you still remember the man we met in the tavern in Magic Valley Town?"

"You mean the man who loves cherry pie?"

A tall man with an unshaven beard appeared in their minds. He was sitting on a crowded street, shouting loudly that "people's dreams will never end" as if there was no one around.

"That's Blackbeard, Marshall D. Teach."

"what?"

"Ace was defeated after a fight with Blackbeard, and was handed over to the Navy by Blackbeard, in exchange for Crocodile's position as King Shichibukai.

Ace has a special background. Now, the government has issued an order to the Navy to execute Ace at the Navy Headquarters, Marinefando. "

"Is it just because of Ace's life experience?"

Luffy slowly raised his head and looked at Annie.

"Not at all."

"Not only to set an example, but more importantly, to draw out Whitebeard."

"Whitebeard is famous for protecting his shortcomings, and his family is above all else. Therefore, a larger part of the reason for the public execution is to attract the Whitebeard Pirates, so that they can take the opportunity to annihilate them in one fell swoop!"

"What is Ace's life experience? Isn't he Luffy's brother? Are there other..."

Annie looked at Luffy and saw that he had no intention of stopping him, so she slowly told everyone the truth.

"Aista is the son of Roger, the Pirate King."

The news of the explosions one after another left everyone with stars in their eyes and confusion in their minds.

"Hai...Pirate King!"

"Roger!"

"son!"

"This is not important, what is important..."

"That's not important yet!!!"

"How many secrets do you still know!"

Annie spread her hands: "That's the cause and effect. No matter whose son he is, we only need to know that he is Luffy's brother and our friend, that's all."

When everyone heard the words, they nodded in unison.

"Yes."

"That's it."

Luffy stood up and spoke in a hoarse voice.There was also a hint of pleading in his tone.

"Annie, I want..."

"no!"

Annie interrupted Luffy without thinking.

"I know what you want to do. You want to sneak into Impel Down City and rescue Ace before the execution."

"Yes."

"There are only two ways to rescue Ace. One is to be silent, and the other is to take advantage of the chaos to escape. The first method has a low chance of success, and the second... I don't want you to use this method to save him. .”

The reason why Anne has been hesitant is also because of this.

She had never quite approved of Luffy's way of rampaging around, causing chaos in the Impel Down City, and rescuing people in the chaos, although that was indeed the most beneficial method for them.

She is not the Virgin, but [-]% of the people imprisoned in the city are extremely vicious pirates with blood on their hands.If those people are released, countless innocent people in this world will die in vain, and countless islands and countries will be massacred.

Such a move goes against her original intention. They have been planning hard for so many years, and everything they have done is for true peace.

"Luffy, Ace must be saved, but how to save him, you have to follow my arrangements. Trust me, don't be anxious."

"But if it's too late..."

"Luffy!"

Sabo next to him held his shoulders.

"Trust her."

"I see."

After Luffy hesitated for two seconds, he looked at Annie's determined face and nodded. Although he couldn't quite understand what Annie said, he knew he was right to listen to her.

He looked at his friends sitting together, his tone hesitant.

"Everyone."

"Ace is my brother, I must save him, but you..."

"Captain, please stop saying those useless words."

Sanji interrupted Luffy's unspoken words and dusted off the cigarette in his hand.

"Yes, Luffy, we are partners! Don't even think about leaving us behind."

"Yeah! Aren't we always advancing and retreating together?"

"Yes."

"If you want to go, go together. Ace is also our friend."

"I agree."

"I agree."

"I agree."

"I'm just like everyone else, yohoho~"

"Everyone..."

Looking at the serious but extremely determined faces of his companions, Luffy's eyes were a little moist.

"In this case, friends, our voyage will be put on hold for the time being."

"No problem, Captain!!!"

"Okay, it's decided, the next destination...where is the next destination, Annie?"

Anne: ...

Annie patted Luffy on the shoulder: "I will arrange everything properly. Don't be too nervous during this period. You just need to be prepared for a tough battle. Leave the rest to me."

"understood."

After the meeting, everyone didn't need Annie to say anything and took the initiative to step into the training room.

Annie lay on the deck in a daze, recalling the scene when Luffy broke into Impel Down alone.

It's been so long that I can't remember many details.But what Hannibal, the deputy warden of Impel Down, said when Luffy fell down and got up countless times was still fresh in her memory.

"As long as you are still at sea, people will stay up all night for fear of losing their loved ones!"

"This is a big fortress of hell. If this place is destroyed, people will fall into infinite panic!"

"I told you not to let you pass, so don't even think about it!"

On the surface, he appears to be a cowardly and lustful careerist who pretends to be powerful, but in fact he has a righteous heart that can truly consider the weak people, is responsible and has a sense of responsibility.

Every little character has his own insistence on justice. This is the world that Anne really wants.

My mind was a little confused and my mood was extremely heavy.

I didn't kill Boren, but Boren died because of me.

She hoped that Luffy could be a pure explorer, but she really couldn't bear to harm innocent civilians because of the chaos in Impel Down.

However, she had to go to Impel Down.

The chubby blue whale shark is still locked inside.If Luffy didn't go, he might not be able to escape.
