From the Navy Admiral to the Gotei 13

But then again, although these counterfeit coins do not have the Mary Geoise World Bank code, the gold content is no less than that of real gold berries. Therefore, they are circulated on a large scale internationally and are widely recognized by the black market, so the profits are still very large.

But what Sachi didn't know was that the merchant ship he robbed this time, and the gold on the ship, actually came from the Amway Group, and the gold Bailey was of course also minted by the Amway Group itself.

The navy has developed several gold mines on islands in the Calm Belt. The gold ore mined by a large number of pirate laborers is smelted and then sent to a coin-minting island of the Amway Group in the New World in batches.

Then the golden golden berries will be circulated quickly, converted into real value, and transfused back to the Marine Headquarters, Marineford.

Of course, this caravan wasn't affiliated with the Amway Group, nor would it anger them. Otherwise, Thatch wouldn't have been so arrogant and taken everything away. After all, the Amway Group was backed by Mary Geoise and Smoker, the White Hunter, another of the Four Emperors.

It is very dangerous in the New World to touch their things casually.

Last time, Charlotte Linlin stole Smoker's goods, which triggered the subsequent battle for the throne that divided the New World!

This caravan was just one of the many partners of Amway Group. It purchased a batch of privately minted gold berries from Amway Group and originally planned to ship them to Franks Island to exchange for other goods in that dark exchange. However, it was unexpectedly robbed by Sachi.

"Captain, there's another shipload of ammunition, all of which are the latest automatic rifles!" A younger brother rushed into the cabin and reported to Sachi who was playing with Kim Bailey.

"Spices, gold, arms... We've made a lot of money." Thatch said happily, and then ordered: "You guys, go and calculate the profits. The information comes from the Second Division. When you go back, don't forget to follow the rules and give the Second Division 30% of the profits.

"I understand, Captain!" the pirate brother said happily.

This is undoubtedly a huge harvest.

Just as Thatch was about to leave the cabin, he suddenly saw a small treasure chest in the corner that was different in size from the other treasure chests.

"Devil Fruit?" Thatch guessed something just by taking a look at the box.

After all, people on the sea are generally accustomed to using this type of small box to transport devil fruits.

He took a few steps forward, picked up the box, and broke the lock with force. Then, he roughly opened the box and took a look inside. A smile appeared in Thatch's eyes and he said, "It really is a devil fruit..."

Contrary to Lucci's guess, Thatch had no idea that the ship was carrying the Dark-Dark Fruit, a bounty with a fixed price.

Therefore, he didn't immediately think of the Dark-Dark Fruit. It was perfectly normal for someone to get lucky and snatch a Devil Fruit while robbing a merchant ship. Thatch didn't dwell on the implications of this, smacking his lips and saying, "Take it back and let Teach show me what it is..." Just like the original story, he didn't even bother asking the captives what kind of Devil Fruit it was before putting it away.

If Teach were here, he would definitely not be able to suppress his ambition that has been hidden for more than ten or twenty years, because there is no doubt that this devil fruit is the dark fruit that many forces are looking for!

Meanwhile, on Franks Island.

Doflamingo's expression was very gloomy, and he was brewing his anger!

"I just arrived in Francos, and you tell me that there was an accident with the Dark-Dark Fruit?" Doflamingo said to Diamandi in front of him with anger in his eyes.

Diamandi is also very helpless. He hasn't received the goods yet, and the problem with the goods didn't occur in his hands. Can he blame me?

So he explained awkwardly, "It was the Whitebeard Pirates. I also received a request for help from the Black Rose Merchants at the time and sent a fleet to support them. However, the Black Rose Merchants have lost contact now, and our fleet couldn't have arrived so quickly. Therefore, it can be basically concluded that the Whitebeard Pirates stole those goods, including the Dark-Dark Fruit."

After a brief pause, Thatch continued, "This (bccj) should be just an accident. The Whitebeard Pirates' Fourth Division Fleet has been wandering in the surrounding waters recently. I think it just happened to run into..." "Whether it's an accident or a long-planned thing, the Dark-Dark Fruit must be recovered for me. Damn it, do you know what kind of choice I made for this matter!?" Doflamingo said angrily.

Damn it, just because of the Dark-Dark Fruit, he toughly tricked Crocodile and directly refused the recruitment of the Seven Warlords of the Sea. Now, Marijoa might have already begun to formulate the process of depriving Doflamingo of his status as a Seven Warlord of the Sea.

Now he is counting on the Dark-Dark Fruit to win Diarmait's "heart" and let this big man help him.

The Dark-Dark Fruit was right in front of him, but someone snatched it away?

And it’s the Whitebeard Pirates!?

However, Doflamingo was already a little furious at this time. After scolding Diamandi, he opened the window and said, "Whether it's the Whitebeard Pirates, Kaido, or Charlotte. Linlin, these damn bastards can steal anything, but they can't steal the Dark-Dark Fruit. I have higher mobility, maybe it's not too late now!"

As soon as he finished speaking, without caring about Diamandi and Monet's surprise and dissuasion, Doflamingo directly used his special talent of "Tian Yasha" and pulled the clouds with a string, as if jumping in the air, and disappeared into the sky at an extremely fast speed.

"What should we do?" Diamandi looked out the window in confusion.

Monet pushed his glasses up on his nose helplessly and sighed, "What else can we do? Quickly form a pursuit force to rescue the young master!"

"Yes, yes!" Diamandi also reacted and responded quickly.

Soon, the pursuing fleet, flying the flag of the Don Quixote family, sailed out of the port.

A battle for the Dark-Dark Fruit seems likely to break out at any time.

And all of this was just due to Diarmait's words. He didn't even know everything that happened here.

This is the advantage brought by power and status.

Relying on this power, status, and even strength, there will always be countless people who want to gain his favor and fight for his appreciation. ………

That's why some people say that power is the most delicious sweet wine.

Not long after, Sachi started contacting Lucci.

Come to think of it, there seem to be a lot of "eccentrics" like Thatch, Lucci, Teach... in the Whitebeard Pirates?

"Oh? Lucci, this time it's really thanks to your intelligence, otherwise I would definitely let this big fish go. Do you know how much I have roughly calculated now? This time I have robbed at least 200 billion Baileys. Even if I sell them at a discount, it will be more than 100 billion. ... By the way, there is also a devil fruit..." Sachi said excitedly.

Of course, more than 100 billion Baileys sounds like a lot, but considering the size of the entire Whitebeard Pirates, it is not that amazing.

The Whitebeard Pirates have dozens of captains under their command, and each of them has a fleet. The fact that Newgate was able to lead his men to confront 100,000 elite naval troops at Marineford proves that he has at least tens of thousands of elite pirates under his command.

These people have to rely on looting to survive.

On the other side, Lucci glanced at Teach, whose breathing had begun to grow heavier, and then asked with a smile, "Really? Congratulations, and don't forget to share some of the profits with us."

"Don't worry, 30% is enough. Your second team will not be left out." Sachi said generously.

After all, the Second Division only provided intelligence, and it was the Fourth Division that actually went to the battlefield. Being able to give a 30% profit was indeed very good.

"Where are you now? Senior Teach and I are also heading towards the Franks Sea. Would you like to meet? Teach said he hasn't seen you for a long time and misses you..." Lucci said with another smile.

Thatch didn't think much of it. It was normal for pirates to run around everywhere, so he said directly, "Okay, did Teach bring the Devil Fruit Pokedex? It's a good opportunity for him to show me what this ability is. Let's decide on the route and then meet up. Hahaha, it's time to hold a banquet for this harvest. I'll cook a feast for you personally!"

Soon, the two sides exchanged location information, determined the next route, and then hung up the Den Den Mushi.

Lucci glanced at the excited Teach and said, "It seems that Thatch was a bit careless. He didn't even ask the prisoners what this ability was..."

"Hahahaha, I told you that guy's so careless! And I have the Devil Fruit Pokédex. He'll definitely come to me first to confirm his abilities. Then, it'll be time for me to seize the Dark-Dark Fruit!" Teach laughed. "Seize...?" Lucci muttered softly, then a strange smile played on his face. "Yeah, then, it's time to seize the Dark-Dark Fruit..."

Sorry, Senior Teach, I'm actually a marine!

Chapter 345: The Dark Dark Fruit stirs up the situation.

In the New World, in the Lamborghini Sea, after less than half a month, the three strange species, Sachi, Teach and Lucci, finally reunited.

At this time, a banquet was being held on the flagship of the 4th Division Captain, Thatch, the Delicious Cook.

Tiqi dragged Thatch to drink like crazy, as if he was going to get him drunk. Lucci, on the other hand, chatted with them and ate barbecue, and didn't drink much.

He also seemed to be planning something in secret.

"You're rich this time, Sachi. Next time we go out for a drink, you'll have to pay for Dad's drinks." Titch put his arm around Sachi's shoulders and said in a very happy tone.

He has confirmed that Thatch did not eat the Dark-Dark Fruit and is not a special ability user yet. The Dark-Dark Fruit is in Thatch's cabin.

Once we deal with Sachi, Tichi's wish of many years will be fulfilled!

The user of the Dark-Dark Fruit, just thinking about it makes me a little excited!

"Hahaha, it all depends on the intelligence from your Second Division. Without such intelligence, how could I catch such a big fish? Don't worry, I will cover all of Dad's drinking money this year!" Sachi said excitedly.

"Then I will be a witness, thief hahaha. By the way, did you get a devil fruit? Are you going to ask me to take a look?" Teach laughed jokingly at first, and then changed the subject.

Thatch had no defense against Teach at all. Every time Teach said something, Thatch said, "Yeah, it's a bit embarrassing to say. I've been a pirate for so many years, and this is only the second time I've seized a devil fruit. The last time was seven or eight years ago. I was really unlucky. I didn't eat that devil fruit back then, and I sold it for money to buy alcohol. Now I think about it and I feel a little regretful. I have decided that since the sea has delivered this devil fruit to me this time, as long as it's not too bad, I will eat it and become a special ability user..."

At this point, Thatch paused for a moment and said, "We need to get stronger as quickly as possible. Our current situation isn't as good as it was before. We have to work hard. Besides, Dad's health is getting worse day by day. I heard he's starting to take medication. We can't let him worry about us anymore, can we?"

Tiqi felt a little emotional when he heard this.

To be honest, although I had said some radical words to Lucci on the road before, as if I wanted to do something to Sachi.

But in fact, Teach still has feelings for the Whitebeard Pirates and Newgate.

He once admired Whitebeard's strength very much and respected him as his father from the bottom of his heart. He even thought that if he couldn't find the Dark-Dark Fruit, it would be nice to spend his whole life on his ship.

But perhaps he himself did not realize that after the defeat of Newgate, the strongest man, on Jam Island, Teach's awe of him had dissipated a lot.

Deep down, Tiqi is a person who admires the strong and wants to become a strong person.

He used to worship Newgate because he was the strongest, but now he worships Diarmait, the admiral of the navy, even more.

The most intuitive manifestation is that he once thought of seizing the Dark-Dark Fruit and then dealing with his father's Tremor-Tremor Fruit, but now, because of the strength shown by Diarmait, Teach has changed his mind. After he gets the Dark-Dark Fruit, he plans to see if he can arrange a wave of attacks on Diarmait, the admiral of the navy, preferably with the Dark-Dark Fruit to catch him by surprise.

After all, Teach has been observing Diarmait for a long time. That guy's real strength lies in his ability to control gravity. If he can break through his messy moves such as Infinite Devouring and Chibaku Tensei, and use the Dark-Dark Fruit to trick him, he will have a chance to kill Diarmait.

By then, with darkness in his left hand and gravity in his right hand, wouldn't he be invincible?

However, he didn't know that Diarmait also felt that he was invincible with darkness in his left hand and gravity in his right hand. The two of them had exactly the same considerations in this regard.

In short, because of the battle on Jam Island, Diarmuid and the Gravity Fruit are now the top priorities in Teach's mind.

If you want to get Diarmait, it would be best to rely on the power of the Whitebeard Pirates.

Therefore, in the past half month, Teach has thought about many things and has no intention of killing Thatch directly. He accepted Lucci's idea and felt that he should communicate with Thatch first.

That's why I asked the tentative question just now.

But Thatch's drunken words completely made Teach give up all other thoughts.

As Thatch's 'friend', Teach knew Thatch very well. This guy was a bit stubborn and obstinate. He was now determined to eat the Dark-Dark Fruit.

Then no matter what else he said, it would not have much effect. On the contrary, it would most likely arouse Sachi's vigilance.

Then I won’t say anything more!

Let’s get started!

Teach is also a ruthless person. In the face of his own ambition, years of friendship are of no use.

He is a true hero, cruel and ruthless.

Since he decided to steal Thatch's Dark-Dark Fruit, Teach also planned to wipe out the roots. After all, after stealing it, the two sides would inevitably become enemies. If he brought this matter to his father, he would not be in the right. Who told Thatch to get the Dark-Dark Fruit first?

So he weighed it in his mind. If he tried to rob, his father would not be on his side. This would make the other crew members sad, and he might even be exiled. Instead of doing that, it would be better to take the initiative to break with the Whitebeard Pirates, and then find a way to provoke a war between the Whitebeard Pirates and the Navy or other forces. In the end, he could take advantage of the situation and fish in troubled waters. Maybe he could bring down Diarmait or his father. Whether he got the Tremor-Tremor Fruit or the Gravity Fruit, he would have won, right?

"Then don't blame me for being cruel, Thatch..." A fierce light flashed in Titch's eyes, and he murmured in his heart.

But he said nonchalantly, "Don't worry, the Devil Fruit Encyclopedia is right here with me. After this party is over, I'll get it and personally examine it for you. I hope it's a powerful ability, preferably a Nature-type one? Or a Mythical Beast? Hahahaha!"

Seeing this, Thatch put away his previous emotion and patted Tiqi on the shoulder and said, "That's right, it would be best if it was a powerful ability. Then I can protect you. Tiqi, if you have any trouble, feel free to come to me, hahahahaha.

At the same time, in a sea area not far from the Whitebeard Pirates' Fourth Division, Doflamingo's figure fell from the sky and landed on a merchant ship.

Facing the confused merchant crew members on the deck, Doflamingo didn't say anything. The parasitic thread burst out directly from his body, instantly controlling everyone on the ship. Then he quickly replenished his food and drank some water.

This is how he had been pursuing the enemy for more than half a month, replenishing his energy whenever he came across a boat.

After the feast was over, Doflamingo used parasitic threads to control the captain of the small merchant ship. He smiled evilly and said, "I ask, you answer. Do you understand?"
