The vortex driven by the times is like a huge black hole, containing a special magnetic field, which silently gathers some characters at a certain node. To use a novelist's romance to describe it, this is the symphony of fate. Desire to collide with each other.

At the moment, Alabasta is undoubtedly at such a special node.

"This desert is really lively..." With thick body hair, fluffy hair tied with a turban, three flintlock guns hanging from his left waist, a rum bottle in his right hand, and two necklaces hanging around his neck. The burly man with a wild and rough atmosphere is the former member of the Second Division of the Whitebeard Pirates. The black-bearded Marshall D. Titch, who defected from the brutal killing of the captain, is standing at the door of a dilapidated tavern. He just sat cross-legged on the ground so casually, stretched out his hand and rubbed his leg hair and looked at the group of straw hats on the opposite side and laughed: "People's dreams will never end!"

A word like chicken soup, which came out through Titch's ugly mouth full of rotten teeth, gave people an extremely uncomfortable feeling of cruelty, a kind of cruelty to kill one's own companions and betray everyone in order to pursue their dreams. firm and cold.

He has been hiding his true strength and has been dormant in the Whitebeard Pirates, one of the Four Emperors, for 20 years, just to wait for an opportunity to plot a Devil Fruit that he has longed for - Dark Fruit (Natural Element) , and when the opportunity came, Titch did not hesitate to kill his companions to **** the fruit.

Forbearance, patience, madness, and cruelty cannot be described in words. This is a real big pirate, and every inch of his body is greedily breathing ambition and sin.

The passing by with the Straw Hats was just an episode. Luffy and others didn't know Tickey's identity and deeds. He just instinctively hated this man.

"Ahaha, Captain, you are disliked by others, do you need me to kill them?" The ship's doctor Q, who seemed to be terminally ill, came over and asked with a basket full of red apples in his hands.

Not far behind him, there was a couple with a child, their faces sallow and grateful, staring at Poison Q's back, while one held an apple in his hand and stuffed it into his mouth.

Bang!

The swallowed apple suddenly exploded, three headless corpses lay on the ground, and the poisonous Q sighed with a pitiful laugh without turning his head back: "Fate often uses the value of human existence to measure the value of human existence, and it seems that there are three The unfortunate ghost who is pitied by fate!"

"So, that straw hat kid is the one who was favored by fate. He ate your apple and didn't explode. If that's the case, just spare them a little life." Tiki patted the dust on his buttocks and stood up, beside him A few men dressed in complicated, weird and absurd clothes came over.

"We're almost running away. It's not the style of our Blackbeard Pirates to hide in Tibet blindly." Titch took out an apple from the basket, stuffed it into his mouth, chewed it, and then laughed wildly: "I My life has always been tough, so choose this desert and get rid of Ace who is following behind."

"Is this desert? The site of the sand crocodile, one of the seven seas under the king?" Wearing a flat forked black hat on his head, a blindfold on his right eye, and a long gun on his shoulder, Fan Oka Wei Wei hesitated: "Will it cause unnecessary trouble? That sand crocodile doesn't seem to have such a good temper."

"Hehehe, fate told me that the sand crocodile has been overwhelmed recently, or that the status of one of the seven seas is in jeopardy." Tiqi thought about the various pieces of information he had collected recently, and grinned with a sinister laugh: "This is the perfect time for us to start. If there is a vacancy in Qiwuhai, then we will just use the head of Fire Fist Ace to make a win-win deal with the World Government, and exchange the head of the son of Roger One Piece for a layer. Legitimate skins, hahaha…”

"Is it just that? Is the name of Qiwuhai enough?" Poison Q interjected sullenly.

In the maddening laughter, Titch swallowed the apple core, and his eyes showed a sinister and cunning ruthless color, "How is it possible, Ace is a spinning top that stirred the whole era, how can a mere Qiwuhai be enough? , at least it is enough to drag the beloved white-bearded father to die together!"

"Dream and ambition, you have to use the blood that dyes the whole sea red to water and sprout, ah ha ha ha ha..." Marshall D. Teach laughed wildly.

At the same time, on the coast of Alabasta, a lone masted ship was docked, and the man on the deck, yawning as if asleep, suddenly woke up.

This man is Portgas D? Ace, the posthumous son of the pirate king Gore D? Roger, and also the current captain of the second team of the Whitebeard Pirates. Naturally, he has the ability to burn fruit. What's more secret is that he is also the sworn brother of the captain of the Straw Hats, Monkey D Luffy.

They didn't know each other that the two brothers were in the desert of Alabasta at the moment. The former was to help Chopper find the trace of Dr. Kureha, and the latter was naturally to hunt down the traitor Blackbeard of the Whitebeard Pirates. strange.

Ace has black hair, a healthy wheat complexion, some freckles on his cheeks, a certain orange cowboy hat on his head, a red necklace hanging from his neck, and a whitebeard pirate tattooed on his back. Tattoos (skulls with machete-like beards, cross-shaped bones inserted upside down, left and right) are regarded as the glory of his life.

"Tiki, I will definitely catch you and wash away your sins with the blood of the betrayal." Ace jumped out of the boat, looked at the arid desert, and chose a direction to walk into the desert .

"Continue to look for such a headless fly~lightnovelpub.net~ It is impossible for us to find Dr. Kureha." Nami wiped the hot sweat on her forehead, the sun on the top of the desert was too poisonous, she felt herself The whole person was almost burnt.

"I have inquired about it. Yaerlin was originally a colonel stationed in the Alabasta naval branch, but now he is replaced by the white hunter Smog." Usopp continued: "I want to find Dr. Kureha from the navy. The clues are unlikely, so we can only look elsewhere."

"Where?" Chopper asked.

"The rebel army in Alabasta. A few months ago, the army of the Drum Kingdom registered in Alabasta but was destroyed. However, the army of the Drum Kingdom came to help the rebel army, which means that Walbo is likely to be involved in the uprising. The army is also related, so the rebel army may be able to know some relevant news..."

"Then we'll find the Alabasta rebels, where are they now?" Luffy asked.

"Crocodal destroyed the entire army of the Drum Kingdom on the coast, and the insurgents were also greatly affected, with heavy casualties and split into two troops, one surrendered to Krocdal, and the other drilled into the gravel. In the area of ​​​​the forest, I mean that we don't need to provoke Wang Xiaqiwuhai, we just go to find the rebel army in the gravel forest."
