The feeling of strangeness was immediately eliminated.
Some Sheniu have even hooked up with the people around them and started drinking together.
At this moment, it really felt like having a party.
Chapter 998 Little Bear Spreads His Hands
Whitebeard didn't seem to be in a hurry to talk about business, nor did he have any intention of asking Teach why he left the Whitebeard Pirates and joined the Dragon Hunter Guild.
Just drinking wine and eating meat with Abel.
Looking at the lively banquet, I couldn't help but let out his very unique laugh.
It seemed that inviting Abel over was just an excuse to hold a party.
After all, his current physical condition is not as good as before.
Just like that, a few hours passed in the blink of an eye.
Many people were drunk.
Some sang loudly, some danced awkwardly, and some performed bad jokes and facial expressions, making many people laugh.
But what is supposed to come will eventually come.
Abel put down his wine glass with a trace of drunkenness on his face.
In the past few hours, he had been drinking a lot.
And there is no cheating with gourmet cells.
It’s not necessary, it’s just plain and easy to look down on.
His bold attitude made Whitebeard even happier, and he felt that he had not misjudged the person.
He simply said it.
"Yes, my drinking capacity is as good as when I was young."
"One of the reasons for inviting you here today, I believe Marco should have mentioned it last time."
As soon as Whitebeard spoke, the noise at the banquet immediately dropped a lot.
Everyone returned to their seats and continued to drink and eat, but they were a bit quieter than before.
Even when talking to each other, they subconsciously used lower voices, for fear of disturbing the conversation between the bosses on both sides.
Abel did not feel the pressure Whitebeard brought to him, and just smiled softly: "Is this happening? I thought Captain Whitebeard was greedy for wine, so he deliberately found an excuse to ask me to have a banquet."
Whitebeard, who was teased, also immediately burst into hearty laughter: "Gu la la la la~ That's right. That guy Marco looks at me every day and can't even drink two more glasses of wine. He is simply a traitor." , or you can take him away too."
"Dad! Isn't it for your health?"
Marco couldn't sit still and his face turned a little red. He didn't know whether he was drinking or because he was anxious.
But Abel heard what Whitebeard said.
Obviously, Whitebeard seems to be indifferent and generous on the surface, but in fact he still cares about this incident.
After all, he thinks he is very good to each of his sons and truly regards everyone as his family.
The more you care, the deeper you will be hurt.
It's better not to say the word 'treason' in a joking tone.
It seems to be referring to Marco, but in fact everyone understands. This is referring to Teach, the 'traitor'.
Abel knew that if the situation was not explained clearly now, the friendly relationship between the two parties would probably end here.
He is not afraid of going to war with Whitebeard, but he wants to fight with the Whitebeard Pirates just because of Teach. Why?
Is this guy worthy?
If word gets out, your reputation will be ruined!
"The Four Emperors Abel and Whitebeard started a war and fought hard just to fight for... him? ! 》
If he saw this headline in the newspaper, Abel could commit suicide on the spot.
"Actually, I was surprised at the time and even a little confused."
"What's even more interesting is that this guy Tiqi actually said in public that I would not let him join because of fear. I was actually fooled by such a clumsy provocation. I'm really embarrassed to say it."
"So I thought about it, could it be that Teach was very unhappy with the Whitebeard Pirates, so he would rather leave in this way?"
Abel pretended to be puzzled and said, there is only one thing he really wants to express. I did not take the initiative to lure your people over, but he tried every means to join. He even couldn't use the method of provoking generals, so there was nothing I could do.
Whitebeard is not stupid, so he naturally understands.
But this undoubtedly made him even more sad.
He would rather believe that Tikki was lured there by Abel with various benefits, rather than believe that Tikki couldn't stay with him any longer and wanted to escape.
The former will make him feel that Teach is bewitched and passive.
But the latter will make Baibeard feel that what he did was particularly failed.
Otherwise, why would Teach do this?
Could it be that what the Dragon Hunting Guild could give him, he couldn't give it to himself?
Obviously, even Whitebeard doesn't know what Teach really wants.
The rest of Whitebeard's group became even more angry after hearing this.
Basically glaring at Tikki.
Finally, someone couldn't help but stood up and asked loudly: "Tiqi! Why did we feel so sorry for you that you had to do this?!"
"Yes, if you have any dissatisfaction, just say it."
"Do you know that what you did made dad sad?"
Whitebeard placed the wine glass heavily on the table with a bang, stopping others from criticizing Teach.
"Teach, if you still call me daddy. I want to hear your answer."
"Am I here to be my white-bearded son? I really wrong you and make you unhappy."
Facing the slightly sad white beard, Tiqi's prepared words reached his throat, but suddenly stopped.
To say that he has no feelings for Whitebeard or even the entire pirate group would be a lie.
But as a potential hero, his nature destined him to be an unfamiliar white-eyed wolf.
Before he saw any hope, he could pretend to be an honest man on the Moby Dick for the rest of his life, to the point where he believed it.
But once the opportunity arises to get the coveted dark fruit, anyone who stands in front of him will be his enemy and will be eliminated mercilessly by him.
In the original world, Teach first killed his friend, Team 4 captain Sachi, and snatched the Dark Fruit.
Then he defeated Ace, the captain of the second team who was catching up, and traded Ace with the navy in exchange for the position of the Shichibukai.
Finally, in the battle at the top, he cold-bloodedly and cruelly led others to kill his former "dad" Whitebeard, just for the shock fruit.
People like this can be said to do whatever it takes to achieve their goals.
So after only a moment of silence, Tiqi completely forgot about Whitebeard's kindness to him.
"I'm sorry, Captain Whitebeard. Now I am Teach, the 'Sin of Pride' of the Dragon Hunter Guild, and I no longer have anything to do with the Whitebeard Pirates."
"As the saying goes, when people go to higher places, water flows to lower places. The Whitebeard Pirates used to be the strongest in the world, but that is already a thing of the past."
"The strongest one now is our Dragon Hunting Guild!"
"I will follow President Abel and witness him becoming the Pirate King, and even the King of the World."
"And this is something that will never happen if I continue to stay in the Whitebeard Pirates."
Tiqi spread his hands, making an innocent and unbeatable expression.
Chapter 999: There once was an era called...Whitebeard!
Tiqi’s words immediately silenced the entire audience.
Abel had thought that this guy would cause trouble, but he didn't expect that he would be so bold.
Although becoming the king of the world has always been his driving force, he has spoken out in public several times to boost morale and unite people.
But you can’t show off your face in front of someone!
The people of the Whitebeard Pirates are so good-tempered, how can they not take it seriously?
This is indeed the case. In the silence, many members of the Whitebeard Pirates crushed the wine glasses in their hands and stood up.
Most of them looked at Tikki with angry faces.
But similarly, other people in the Dragon Hunting Guild were also implicated.
The lively atmosphere just now suddenly deteriorated, and everyone who was holding arms silently let go of their hands.
There are already vague sparks colliding between the Dragon Hunting Guild and the Whitebeard Pirates.
After all, even though Teach is suspected of using words to provoke, don't these cadres of the Dragon Hunter Guild think so in their hearts?
That’s definitely what you think!
It’s just that I’m embarrassed to say it in front of the other party.
A not-so-pleasant truth is right in front of you. The Whitebeard Pirates are already the remnants of the old era.
They, the Dragon Hunting Guild, are the trendsetters who are creating and leading a new era!
The old guy should be given a lot of money and then swept into the dustbin of history.
So Teach didn’t express their feelings.
This is also where Teach is smart.
He knew that the little trick he used was not worthy of publicity, but sometimes the simpler and cruder it was, the more lethal it would be.
So what if someone sees it?
When you reach the heights of Abel and Whitebeard, sometimes you don’t have to fight if you don’t want to. The people under you will push you to fight from behind.
Abel and Whitebeard may not care who is the strongest in the world or who is the Pirate King, but will the people below think so?
Obviously not!
After all, the biggest purpose of these people joining their respective forces is to join forces and accomplish great things.
Oh, now you tell me that you don’t care, you don’t want to fight?
Who are you kidding?
This is what happens when people are in the arena and cannot help themselves.
Feeling the explosive atmosphere of the banquet, Abel's eyes narrowed.
Tiqi, this troublemaker, can’t stay!
If you don't find an excuse to get rid of it, it will become a disaster sooner or later.
In other words, it is already a disaster now.
No one spoke at the moment, they were all in silence, because Whitebeard hadn't spoken yet.
Whitebeard’s attitude is very important.
Should we fight or just let it go?
In fact, Whitebeard was also thinking, although Teach's words made him very angry, and his whole behavior even made him feel strange.
But when it comes to beating a dog, it depends on the owner.
Now that Teach is a member of the Dragon Hunting Guild, if he takes action, he will bully the small.
And with so many people watching, if Abel didn't protect his own people, people's hearts would be scattered.
