Chapter 972 The Prelude to the Top War

A meal is also considered a guest of honor!

Ace was having a good time, and Arthur was having a good time too!

And after the meal, Arthur also helped Ace arrange the hotel by the way!

"It's not good!?"

In response, Ace scratched his head, a little embarrassed!

He thought Arthur was too enthusiastic!

"It's okay! It's just a small matter!" Arthur waved his hand and said indifferently.

"OK then!"

Hearing what Arthur said, Ace could only accept it!

After Ace stayed, Arthur returned to the palace and called Devon without stopping.

"See Your Majesty!" Devin bowed respectfully.

"It's like this." After briefly talking about Ace's affairs, Arthur said solemnly, "Now let your subordinates find Blackbeard, and don't let him make trouble in the kingdom!"

"Understood!" Devin nodded without hesitation.

"Okay, let's go down first!" Arthur waved his hand.

"Um!"

After Devin saluted again, he turned and left! ——

In two days, there is news in German!

"What? Was it tricked?" Arthur couldn't help but said after listening to the news of the German report.

"Yes!" After nodding earnestly, Devin explained, "According to the investigation of the intelligence personnel below, Blackbeard Titch did come to the West Sea, but he left after a while and returned to the great waterway!"

"According to this analysis, the intelligence personnel below believe that Blackbeard Titch was trying to shake off Fire Fist Ace, so he swung around the West Sea and misled Fire Fist Ace!"

To get rid of Ace?

Listening to this, Arthur couldn't help frowning!

Why did Blackbeard Titch dump Ace?

afraid of him?

impossible!

Back then, Titch could cause damage to Shanks, and after so many years, plus eating the dark fruit, now Tic at least has the level of the peak of the lieutenant general, and may even have the strength of the general level!

And what about Ace?

Although the talent is also very strong, after all, the development time is too short. For now, at most, it is the strength of the peak of the major general to the level of the lieutenant general!

No matter how you look at it, it is impossible that Tiki is afraid of Ace!

"So are you planning on Ace?" Arthur thought, took out the notebook with the original plot from the space he carried, and looked at it!

It's a pity that Arthur didn't see a detailed record of this matter after reading it several times!

Of course, this is also normal!

After all, the protagonist is Luffy!

Although Ace also has a role, as a supporting role, he must not be so detailed, and some details will not be explained!

However, Arthur also gained something different from what he thought before!

"It turns out that during this time, what Tickey wanted was the position of Qibukai, and catching Ace was not his original plan. His original plan was to invite Ace to join his pirate group!" Arthur murmured.

Arthur thought that Tickey first caught Ace for the sake of Qiwuhai, but now from what he has recorded, Tickey did not capture Ace for the sake of Qibuhai at first, but for the sake of Qibuhai. Prepare to crusade those big pirates with bounties over 100 million!

Ace was an accident to be precise!

He originally wanted to recruit Ace, but unfortunately Ace was ignorant and refused his invitation, so he handed Ace over to the World Government in exchange for the qualification of Qiwuhai!

And this, has also become the fuse of the war on the top!

Thinking about it, Arthur thought of a possibility, "So now Tickey has thrown Ace away, in order to free himself up a little time, start the layout, and prepare to hunt those pirates that exceed 100 million, and board the position of Qiwuhai. Huh?"

But on second thought, Arthur thought of something different, "Wait, I remember that Titch went to the advance city to rob prison and found some partners. Maybe he is now planning to advance the city!"

"However, no matter what, Ace was tricked, that's for sure!"

Arthur thought to himself, waved his hand towards Devin, and said, "Okay, I know, you go down first!"

"Yes!"

Devin nodded. Turn around!

And Arthur didn't stay in the study too much. After Devon left, he also left the study and went directly to the hotel to find Ace after leaving the palace!

"Ace, I have bad news for you!" Arthur looked at Ace and said sternly,

"bad news?"

Ace raised his brows and couldn't help asking, "What bad news? Is it about Titch?"

The only news that can be related to him in St. Martin is Titch!

"Um!"

After Arthur nodded, he said solemnly, "You were tricked!"

Been tricked?

Ace looked at Arthur in a daze, pointed at himself, and said, "I was tricked?"

"Um!"

Arthur nodded again and said, "According to the inquiries from our kingdom's intelligence officers, Blackbeard Titch did come to St. Martin, but he just walked around, showed his face, and left!"

After speaking, Arthur changed his voice and said, "From this point of view, I think he should do this to get rid of you!"

Ace listened, but did not doubt Arthur's statement, because Arthur had no need to lie to him, but he was still angry!

Although he has a good temper, but being played like this, especially by the enemy, even if he has a good temper, he will never feel better!

"Bastard! He was caught by me, I will definitely teach him a good lesson!"

Ace gritted his teeth and cursed angrily before jumping out of the hotel window without caring about anything else!

"Uncle Arthur, thank you for your hospitality these days, I have left beforehand!"

In mid-air, Ace pressed his cowboy hat to prevent the hat from flying, and at the same time did not forget to explain to Arthur where he was going.

"boom!"

After that, after landing on the street, he couldn't wait to rush towards the port!

"Now, I'm afraid the next time we meet will be your death!" Arthur looked at Ace's back and couldn't help shaking his head.

Arthur knows that when Ace goes like this, the top war will happen!

However, he didn't have the heart to stop it either!

After all, this matter is good for St. Martin!

Not only can it consume the strength of the navy, but at the same time, Aiden, who has been lurking in the Whitebeard Pirates, can cooperate with Tsunade to swallow the Whitebeard Pirates without the Whitebeard!

It can be said that it is a good thing without capital and profit!

As for Ace calling him uncle

In this day and age, isn't it necessary to help him if you want to be intimate?

He is not Ace's godfather. The two of them are just acquaintances. At most, they are familiar with strangers. They are not even friends. It is not enough for Arthur to do things that harm his own interests!

"However. It is possible to intervene in the matter of the war! Well, although the war navy had suffered losses, there was not much loss, which is not good!"

Arthur murmured, "At that time, after Ace is caught, let Ace's identity be released! In this way, Roger's old subordinates will get news, but at least some of them will come!"

One of the main reasons why the navy did not lose much in the war on the top is that the news that Ace is Roger's son came out too late!

It was announced during the live broadcast!

And in such a short time, let alone Roger's old subordinate, even Luffy almost missed it!

Of course, Arthur also understands why the news came so late!

The purpose of the navy is to target Whitebeard, not Roger's remnants. If the news spreads early, hehe!

Those Roger remnants were not easy to mess with back then, and there are many who are still alive today, at the level of generals!

If even Roger's remnants join the war, the Navy will really play a big game!

But because of this, Arthur is ready to reveal the news in advance, to make things "interesting" and to make the Navy lose a little more!
