Chapter 746 Meeting Countdown
In a sense, Whitebeard and Davy Jones are in a two-way race.
The ceramic beard and Spanish silver coins in Whitebeard's hand are the seals of the sea god that Davy Jones wants to collect, and Davy Jones' life is targeted by Whitebeard.
With Luke's guest appearance as the wizard portal, many distances are no longer distances.
The Jackdaw still follows the swaying Tianjianxingmingyi on the sea, and also unfolds the diving bell used for treasure hunting, so that it can take the opportunity to see if it can sense the treasure hidden under the water.
Marco and Ace have been thrown back to the Moby Dick, which is still docked on the shore, by Luke, and both have proved to the crew that they really saw Thatch, and also witnessed the scene of the powerful ground forces fighting.
Oh, it's called a fight, but it's more of a one-sided crushing.
Now the most profound scene for both of them is the atomic lightning light speed punch shot by Sagittarius.
Even though they couldn't see the trajectory of Sagittarius's attack, the momentum and damage caused by the move were directly imprinted in their hearts.
The stubborn idea that "only Daddy is the strongest" has begun to crack.
If they had witnessed the scene of the Wind Dragon being pierced by an arrow, it would not be a crack now, but a direct shatter.
Although Marco and Ace both endorsed and swore that they really saw Thatch, many crew members still didn't believe it, and they all muttered that Luke must have done something.
This can't be blamed on them. Lies and deceptions are too common for pirates. Compared to being able to see the souls of the dead directly, they who have seen Luke's strength are actually more willing to believe that Luke forced his colleagues to do something.
At this time, Whitebeard showed amazing courage.
"Take me there... Please take me there to check."
I don't know if he figured it out or not, but you can see that Whitebeard expressed the meaning of "please" with a very distorted face and expression, and this behavior really shocked almost all the crew members.
On the one hand, the stubborn old man really gave in, and on the other hand, Luke's clear statement that his life span would be shortened made them strongly oppose Whitebeard's request.
As a result, Whitebeard silenced all his stupid sons with one sentence.
"If Thatch is really still there, then I will decide to replace the position of the Sea God of Death, so that the remaining life span will not matter."
It can only be said that he is worthy of being the one who looks down on death the most in One Piece. This logic is also thorough. If he really becomes the new ferryman, how long Whitebeard can live depends on how long he can keep his heart from being pierced. In theory, he can become immortal forever.
This time, Luke reorganized the team and teleported some of the crew members who were not afraid of the Netherworld absorbing their life span, including Whitebeard himself, to the Netherworld Sea, near the Dark Crystal Tower next to Thatch.
There is no need to elaborate on the confirmation process. Although it is unknown how much vitality the dying old man has lost and how much life he has lost, he is already full of energy after returning.
Whitebeard, who is not afraid of death and only worries about whether his stupid sons can continue to live after he leaves, is relieved and his biggest worry is gone.
Next, he just needs to find David Jones' heart and stab it, and he can take office in theory.
This move is equivalent to transferring the danger and pressure that the Sanctuary will face to Whitebeard in disguise, so Athena is very straightforward to leave all the Saints on the Jackdaw, and temporarily transfer the command to Aiolos, and ask him to follow Luke's arrangements during the mission.
With the help of Luke, he took the initiative to return to the Sanctuary and prepare to use the already distributed Brave Beacon device to hold an online meeting.
The topic of this discussion is about the death of the Hades warriors and the full-scale attack of the Hades army that will inevitably be faced next.
Now the Hades warriors have lost 8 people in a very short period of time. Even if only two demon stars are wiped out, the other 6 cannot be made up in a short time.
No matter who did it, the beneficiary is the Sanctuary, so the attack of the Hades army is inevitable, and the Sanctuary must be prepared for a comprehensive impact response.
What Athena saw and heard during the visit to the Dream Island No. 2 base also made her realize the shortcomings of the Sanctuary in many aspects of military industry and logistics. She believes that there should be deeper cooperation between the Sanctuary and the Brave Front.
Although there is no personality of Saori Kido in this world line, as a sponsor who provided a large number of Saint Seiya embryos to the Sanctuary, the Kido Group still has a relatively close cooperative relationship with the Sanctuary. And before his death, Kido Mitsumasa, the founder of the group, gave more than half of the shares of the group to the Sanctuary with the idea of betting for protection.
To be more precise, it was given to Pope Saga.
So the Sanctuary actually has some surreal research directions, but the finished products are not satisfactory, and because it focuses on the manufacture of holy clothes and the training of Saints, some things are inevitably ignored.
However, if the Sanctuary wants to get technology from Luke, it obviously needs to pay a higher price.
After sending Athena back, Luke also joined the operation to help find the heart of Davy Jones.
This time, however, there was no need for Whitebeard to go out to sea to search. All he needed to do was hold the compass in his hand, confirm the approximate direction with the pointer, and then let Luke's flying vehicle unit fly in the direction, transmit every hundred nautical miles and reconfirm the direction. The search speed was extremely fast.
Not long after, Luke and his team dug out an ancient box on an inconspicuous island beach.
The box seemed to have a very complicated mechanism installed. If you put your ear to it, you can hear a very clear heartbeat.
There is no doubt that this is the Soul Gathering Coffin where Davy Jones' heart is placed!
But at this time, a new problem emerged.
As the box where the only weakness of the Netherworld Ferryman is placed, it is protected by the rules. Even if Whitebeard used the Tremor-Tremor Fruit and tried to squeeze the Soul Gathering Coffin and the heart inside into a paste, he still failed.
Only by opening the box can the heart inside be truly hurt.
And the only key that can open it has always been hidden by Davy Jones in his tentacle beard.
It seems that in the end, we still have to face Davy Jones, who is unknown where he is.
However, what Luke and the others didn't know was that although Whitebeard's air shock failed to break through the rules of the Soul Coffin and damage the heart itself, the vibration it produced caused the heart rate of Davy Jones, who was far away on the Flying Mary, to soar to more than 300 per second!
If it were a human, his heart would have exploded long ago!
This shock scared Davy Jones so much that he almost lost his soul. He immediately gave up the direction of meeting Tianjian Xingmingyi without hesitation, and launched the Nether Shuttle on the spot, heading directly to the location of the Soul Coffin!
The official contact between Whitebeard and Davy Jones entered the countdown.
