Boom! Boom! Boom!

On the sea, the ships faced each other and fired at each other. The standard army ship was covered in a layer of white fog, and the shells were fast and big, and the explosion and dust were bigger than anyone else. Soon, the fleet on the opposite side was shattered.

Then, the Battleship quickly approached the half-sunken ship and caught the surviving people.

“No?! That woman is not here!”

Ember flapped his wings and flew from one shipwreck to another. The fleet of more than ten Pirate Ships did not find the person he wanted.

“Hahaha… What are you looking for? You can’t find it. Looking at your exasperated look, I’m very happy. You won’t think of it!”

The pirate who was caught by him had a determined look on his face and looked like he was going to die. “For the sake of the Ideal Land, we are willing to sacrifice ourselves. Come! You ugly pirate whose soul is sold to the World Government! I will not yield to any force!”

Ember stared at the doll-like person in her hand and was about to pinch him to death when Kaz’s voice approached from afar. “Stop, Abel.”

Ember froze and turned his head to look. The Battleship carrying Kaz was already close to here. The bearded man held Den Den Mushi in his hand and said to him, “Vice-Admiral Crowe has sent news that the people from the so-called Ideal Land have actually come to the Country of Peace when we came to find these people, but Mr. Kuro has returned and your people have been captured by Mr. Kuro.”

“Like this?”

Ember looked at the person in his hand and said coldly, “Then isn’t this person even more useless?”

“No…”

Kaz shook his head. “They are not pirates. They are just different from us. It has nothing to do with evil and their intentions are good. Since the leader has been caught, the remaining people naturally lack the support of the so-called ‘ideal country’. Let them go.”

Ember snorted and stared at the person in his hand for a while. “Kid, what’s your name?”

The man straightened his neck and replied, “Jin Wei!”

**TIP**

Ember threw the person in her hand on the deck and flew back to Kaz’s Battleship. “Are we going back?”

“Without you.”

Beside him, Wilbur said, “Abel, you can’t go back.”

Ember was stunned. “What do you mean?”

“Go back to the office and tell me,” Wilbur said.

The three of them returned to the fortress in the center of the Battleship and entered Kaz’s office.

Kaz sat in a chair at his desk. Wilbur and Ember sat across from each other on the sofa. There was a coffee table between them.

Wilbur was making tea. He washed it with hot water and pushed the steaming teacup towards the embers.

Ember took off his mask, revealing a brown-skinned handsome face. He held the teacup and took a sip.

“Can you tell me now? Why can’t I go back?”

“Of course…”

Wilbur nodded and thought for a moment before saying, “Something happened in the Country of Peace. Crowe sent a message. Mr. Kuro subtly reminded us that we have gone too far. CP0 has already discovered our actions. We have to thank your compatriot. If she hadn’t been captured when she went to the Country of Peace, CP0 wouldn’t have appeared so early. We were lax and always thought that they had left. They took the initiative to expose themselves in order to complete the mission given by the higher-ups. Mr. Kuro sent us a warning through Crowe.”

Ember frowned. “You mean… in order to not make the World Government suspicious, we have to separate?”

“That’s it, Abel, you are very smart, as expected of the former steward of the Beast Pirates.”

Wilbur said, “This matter can only be wronged by you. The jurisdiction of Cass and I is not in the Country of Peace. Once this place is stabilized, we will have to return to Dressrosa. Originally, we thought that you could protect Mr. Kuro on behalf of us and Crowe, but now the situation does not allow it. This matter is not just a matter of CP. We also have to consider the reaction of the World Government.”

“After interacting with us for the past few days, you probably know that Mr. Kuro is actually hiding. He is not ready yet, so he must have his reasons, because the theory and reality are all guided by Mr. Kuro. He subtly reminded us, so…”

He looked up at Ember and said sincerely, “Go back to being a pirate and lead the remaining Beast Pirates to appear on the sea and sink the CP ship with those people, forming a confrontation with the Country of Peace on the surface so that the World Government will not suspect us.”

Ember lowered his head in silence. Just as Wilbur felt that he had to persuade him, he raised his head and smiled. “Do you think I will be angry because of this?”

Wilbur was stunned. He picked up the mask on the table and looked at the mask again before saying, “When I was in the Country of Peace, even when Mr. Kaido was in front of me, I rarely took off this mask. Why is it that when I came into contact with you, I took off the mask without any ill feelings?”

He stood up and seemed to be brewing something. He took a deep breath and said slowly, “Because of your justice, I let go of this grudge. Mr. Kuro, please allow me to call him that. His ideals can be pursued by pirates, Marines, or other existences. If you haven’t heard of pirates, you can’t pursue justice. Justice will not discriminate because of different identities. Only one person can be discriminated against.”

He held the mask tightly and put it on his face bit by bit. His voice echoed from the mask, “I will do what justice wants me to do, because that justice can really change the world! I will be a pirate!”

“Mr. Abel!”

Kaz stood up and said excitedly, “I didn’t expect you to have such a deep understanding. I’m ashamed that I argued with Wilbur just now whether to let you return to the Country of Peace!”

“That’s true…”

Wilbur also lowered his head and said in shame, “Kaz didn’t agree before, and I wanted to persuade you to continue being a pirate. It seems that I was wrong. Sorry.”

“There’s no need for that. It’s just that we’ve only known each other for a short time, but I’m sure…”

Ember picked up the long saber beside him and said in a deep voice, “This is the closest to successfully changing the path of the world that I have seen. For this, I will give up my life and let him complete it!”

Wilbur smiled at him. “So, let’s talk about the follow-up. There has to be a step to what we should do.”

In the Country of Peace two CP0 members must die at sea.

However, they could not be involved in this matter.

They could only rely on the pirates who could not hold back in the New World and had already started their own battles.

Among them, as one of the Three Disasters of the original Beast Pirates, it is the best medium.

Whether it’s strength or prestige, it’s enough on the sea. Once he becomes a pirate with the Beast Pirates, it will be an additional natural barrier for the Country of Peace and it will be the best barrier between the World Government and the Country of Peace that they control.
