What a shame…
There is an ambitious person on this ship.
Marshall D. Teach was almost impatient as he reached for that box, a terrifying greed and madness on his face!
Just as Teach was grabbing the box and leaving, a voice startled him: "Is there something wrong? If you're hungry, the kitchen has prepared a midnight snack for you..."
Saki, who was lying on the bed, had opened his eyes at some unknown time.
The captain of the 4th Squad couldn't help but rub his eyes, a hint of surprise flashing across his face as he saw the figure suddenly appear in his room: "Huh? Teach?"
Isn't this the honest guy from the 2nd Squad?
In the next moment, Saki saw the box containing the Dark-Dark Fruit in Teach's arms, and a look of shock appeared on his face.
"Wait… Teach, what are you doing!"
"..."
Teach's expression became rigid.
This man who had been lurking for over twenty years knew very well that at this moment he absolutely couldn't let Saki alert everyone on the ship, otherwise he wouldn't escape the chase of the Whitebeard Pirates!
Especially Uchiha Sasuke!
What awaited Saki…
was a sharp flash of a knife!
Marshall D. Teach's palm suddenly covered Saki's mouth, grabbing a knife and stabbing it into Saki's chest, his arm trembling little by little!
"Thief hahaha… haha…"
Marshall D. Teach could hardly believe what he had done himself, a hint of fear and unease flashing across his face, forcibly covering his shock with a smile: "Thief hahaha… haha… Saki… I'm really sorry… I didn't mean to..."
The iron rule of the Whitebeard Pirates…
is absolutely not to harm your companions on the ship!
Even if you defect from the Whitebeard Pirates, it's no big deal, but harming a companion is the one iron rule that absolutely cannot be violated!
Marshall D. Teach gritted his teeth, released Saki's throat, and grabbed the box containing the Dark-Dark Fruit as he left the place.
Teach could hardly believe…
that the person who hurt Saki was actually him!
Under the cover of night.
Marshall D. Teach lowered a small boat and hastily fled the scene because the entire Moby Dick was hosting a grand party, many pirates were drunk, and no one had yet noticed his escape.
Only one person was different.
Uchiha Sasuke hadn't fallen into a deep sleep.
Uchiha Sasuke's eyes instinctively opened, his Chakra Perception and Observation Haki silently unfolded, rapidly covering the entire Moby Dick.
In the next moment, Uchiha Sasuke swiftly dashed onto the deck!
Uchiha Sasuke's figure quickly appeared in Saki's room, where he also saw Saki bleeding profusely and on the verge of death, a look of shock flickering in his eyes…
"Marco!"
A fierce shout echoed throughout the entire Moby Dick!
Everyone on the Moby Dick suddenly awoke, a crowd of pirates who heard the sound rushed toward Saki's room.
In the dead of night.
The ship doctor Marco applied medicine to Saki, slowly resting his forehead: "Saki's injuries are too severe, there's no way to help… Sasuke, what exactly happened?"
"I don't know yet."
Uchiha Sasuke furrowed his brows tightly, suddenly turning his head to glance at the others: "Huh? Where's Teach? Wasn't he on night watch tonight?"
"Teach… has disappeared…"
A pirate squeezed in with a grim expression, speaking in a low voice: "Marco, Sasuke, one of our lifeboats is missing as well…"
"It's Teach!"
Saki weakly opened his eyes, a hint of bitter smile on his face, blood unconsciously flowing from his mouth: "Teach… he stole the Dark-Dark Fruit… Sasuke, make sure to catch him, that Dark-Dark Fruit is meant to exchange for Mr. Itachi's freedom!"
"What kind of joke is this!"
Ace couldn't help but show a look of surprise.
Even Uchiha Sasuke found it hard to believe, and a look of doubt flashed across every pirate's face present, as none of them believed Teach would do such a thing.
Marshall D. Teach, that honest guy from the 2nd Squad, how could he possibly steal the Dark-Dark Fruit or even have the guts to harm Saki?
He had been an old member of the Whitebeard Pirates!
Moreover, Marshall D. Teach had even given up the chance to become a captain, how could he possibly harm Saki and steal the Dark-Dark Fruit!
"That guy…"
Uchiha Sasuke's mind went numb, at this moment the fact that Marshall D. Teach had escaped with the Dark-Dark Fruit made him feel a faint premonition of something bad.
If it weren't for the Dark-Dark Fruit…
Uchiha Sasuke thought Teach might want to look for another way out.
Whitebeard Edward Newgate quickly came to know about the incident on the ship, this old man of many years looked at Saki's injuries, and a hint of pain finally emerged on his face.
It was truly unexpected…
The Whitebeard Pirates after so many years still had a traitor who violated the iron rule on the ship, leaving Whitebeard feeling somewhat hurt.
More painful than anything…
Was the fact that Saki, the child who had followed him all these years, would die at the hands of a traitor tonight.
"Marco, stabilize Saki's injuries for now…"
Uchiha Sasuke glanced at Whitebeard, whose face was full of pain and with the surrounding atmosphere gradually becoming sorrowful, and said in a deep voice: "Let's figure out a way, at least let's save Saki first!"
"Sasuke…"
Marco's eyes showed some doubt.
A group of people couldn't help but look at Sasuke in confusion.
"Marco, how long can Saki hold on…"
Uchiha Sasuke gritted his teeth, spoke deeply: "We need to head to Wano Country right away, the Medical Ninjas from the Akatsuki will definitely be able to save Saki!"
Even if the Medical Ninjas couldn't save him…
Uehara Naraku would definitely be able to bring him back!
In Uehara Naraku's hands, life and death have long become his playthings, as long as Uehara Naraku is willing to act, he can undoubtedly save Saki.
"..."
Everyone's face showed a hint of confusion and surprise.
Wano Country is located in the Hundred Beast Kaido's territory, if they go there, it will definitely trigger a war with the Hundred Beast Pirates, and moreover, the relationship between the Akatsuki stationed in Wano Country and the Whitebeard Pirates is very subtle…
Yet when Uchiha Sasuke called his brother Uchiha Itachi with a Radio Snail overnight, telling him there was someone seriously injured here who needed the help of Medical Ninjas.
"Who is injured?"
Uchiha Itachi couldn't help but feel some surprise.
Uchiha Sasuke suppressed the emotion in his voice, quietly saying: "Our chef on the ship, Saki, I feel only the Medical Ninjas can save him, preferably Lady Tsunade or that person…"
"I see…"
Uchiha Itachi's voice carried a hint of hesitation, calmly asking: "Sasuke, you should know the cost of saving someone, right?"
"Nii-san."
Uchiha Sasuke clenched his Radio Snail tightly, spoke gravely: "Please convey to him that if Saki's injuries are too severe and he dies, I can also use Revolving Heaven to bring him back to life!"
"Sasuke, don't do anything foolish."
Uchiha Itachi was silent for a moment, then spoke up: "That person can act to keep Saki alive, but you will need to give him the Dark-Dark Fruit…"
"We agreed."
Uchiha Sasuke slowly let out a sigh of relief.
