Chapter 307

Upon hearing these words, the contortion on Guran Doma's face had already vanished, replaced by a bitter smile brimming with utter despair, and then he closed his eyes, preparing to meet death.

Seeing this, Bai Huzi's expression also darkened.

"Since you've chosen to seek death, then don't blame me."

"Hold it, Bai Huzi!"

Clenching his fist, just as Bai Huzi was about to deliver the final blow to Guran Doma, a voice came rushing from afar,

At the same moment, a figure suddenly dove down from the distant sky, landing in front of Guran Doma—and this person was none other than Makarov.

However, Bai Huzi had no intention of stopping his hand because of Makarov's words; his fist still descended.

But just as it was about to fall, a fist about the same size as his blocked it.

Seeing this, Bai Huzi's gaze instantly darkened, and especially upon seeing that the owner of the fist was Makarov, a killing intent already flickered within his eyes.

"Are you preparing to seek death?"

The pressure of his Conqueror's Haki, tinged with a trace of fury, surged toward Makarov without the slightest reservation.

But despite this, Makarov still did not yield an inch, and spoke in a steady voice.

"This is all a misunderstanding; Ace is not in our hands."

"Gurarararararara… Still planning to deny it…"

"I heard from my son's own mouth that Ace has been imprisoned—do you really think my son would deceive his old man?"

Slightly suppressing his emotions, as if having suffered an insult, a flicker of fury already glinted in Bai Huzi's eyes, leaving no doubt that the instant Makarov finished speaking, he would have killed Makarov in a heartbeat.

"No! That's not what I mean."

Makarov shook his head in denial and said in a deep voice.

"In fact, Ace has truly already escaped; I even strongly suspect that Blackbeard Ma Xieer·D·Tiqi is behind this, and right now he himself is very likely right here."

Disappearing suddenly under layers of guard—no matter what Makarov said, he could not possibly believe it.

· ·······Seeking flowers····· ·

Then it's highly likely that that Ace himself was an illusion created by Blackbeard, because earlier Erza had already said that Blackbeard had once appeared as an illusion without anyone noticing.

Such an ability applied to this matter is also entirely possible.

As for why the illusion disappeared, Makarov guessed it was either a time limit, or done deliberately to make this war unavoidable!

Recalling the earlier illusion of Blackbeard on the battlefield, coupled with the fact that this war was originally triggered by Blackbeard, this conjecture became even more likely!

And the reason he dared to be certain that Blackbeard was right here was deduced from Guran Doma's just-now attempt to reactivate the Magic Elf Power.

........... 0

Being unable to continue releasing the Magic Elf Power is very likely Blackbeard's doing.

And the location of the Magic Elf Power is at the headquarters of the Fapingyi Society—this is known to everyone in the world, which means Blackbeard is very likely right beneath the Fapingyi Society.

Now, Makarov could only gamble!

Gamble that Bai Huzi would believe him!

Believe that what he said was true—that Blackbeard truly existed.

"What did you say?"

'Just as expected'—after hearing Makarov's words, the originally incomparably furious Bai Huzi instantly stalled in that violent aura, and his clenched fist loosened slightly.

However, although he had temporarily spared Guran Doma's life, the look in Bai Huzi's eyes as he gazed at Makarov still brimmed with a wisp of murderous intent.

He was seen asking in a low tone: "Tiqi? You say all of this is Tiqi's doing? Then fine, tell me where he is!"

"Tiqi? Is that traitor Tiqi here?"

"Where is that traitor Tiqi?! I'll kill him!"

"The traitor who killed Captain Saqi and still dares to call himself Blackbeard—where exactly is he!"

"That damned Tiqi—dared to seize Ace and hand him over to the other side, but doesn't dare to step forward?!"

"I must personally slaughter that traitor!"

……

Bai Huzi's voice echoed across the entire field; the crew members of the Whitebeard Pirates, who had just been preparing to fight, one by one turned their gazes over and said with surging murderous intent.

At this moment, the eyes of the entire field gathered upon Makarov. Xi.
