Chapter 242: Full Effort to Capture Teach

Holy Land Mary Geoise, Pan Gu City.

Inside the spacious, bright palace, which should have been off-duty rest time, Saturn Saint, citing an emergency matter, summoned the other four Elders.

"Gentlemen, Sengoku has sent a brief message."

"Former Whitebeard Pirates member Ma Xieer D. Teach is suspected to be a descendant of the Davey family... Lox's son."

As a witness to the God Valley incident, Saturn Saint, like Imu, had originally believed that all descendants of the Davey family had been completely eradicated at God Valley.

Never did he expect there to be a fish that slipped through the net.

If Imu-sama were to learn of this, his Saturn Saint's crime would be immense; he must quickly make amends and capture Lox's son alive.

Saturn suddenly remembered the message sent back years ago when he dispatched Fuxing to infiltrate the Morning Star Pirates: keep an eye on the Whitebeard Pirates' Ma Xieer D. Teach.

How he regrets it now.

If he had believed Fuxing and investigated Teach back then, wouldn't his current position be as stable as it could possibly be?

"Lox?!"

Vought Saint drew in a sharp breath of cold air.

For hundreds of years, if one were to ask who brought the greatest pressure to the World Government, it was neither Saint Saint Saiwen Saint, who rose suddenly in recent years, nor the Pirate King Luo Jie.

It was Lox, a descendant of the Davey family.

The destruction caused by Saint Saint Saiwen Saint was ultimately limited; at most, he kidnapped Celestial Dragons to extort the World Government, or sank the Marine Headquarters of Marineford.

He never shook the very foundation of the World Government's rule.

Although Luo Jie was the Pirate King, he merely reached the final island, Laugh Tale, and did not leak the secrets on the final island.

But Lox was different; Lox, from beginning to end, was bent on Overturning the World Government.

Precisely for this reason, after the God Valley incident, the World Government erased all information regarding Lox.

"The Davey family is of critical importance."

Saturn Saint narrowed his eyes slightly.

"Whether it is true or false no longer matters; regarding Lox's son, we must kill him by mistake rather than let him go. Order the Marines to capture Ma Xieer D. Teach alive as soon as possible."

Once this matter is accomplished, the past mistakes committed will seem trivial compared to the descendant of the Davey family.

Imu-sama will not only not punish him, but may even reward him greatly.

If he can also find the Rubber Fruit, then his Saturn Saint's position among the Five Elders will be as stable as it could possibly be.

"I propose," Vought Saint took up the word.

"Inform Saint Garling of this news; given Saint Garling's level of hatred for Lox, he would absolutely not let Lox's son go."

Hearing this, Saturn Saint's eyes lit up.

"That makes sense."

Yes, in this world, besides the descendant of that staff officer, the one who hates Lox with boundless fury must be Saint Garling.

"I will go personally to inform Saint Garling."

"Gentlemen, issue the orders immediately, commanding the Marines to deploy at least one Admiral to capture Ma Xieer D. Teach alive."

"Seconded."

"Seconded."

While the other four Elders drafted the orders, Saturn Saint arrived at the headquarters of the God Knights, the Knight Temple of Shanga, located in the Divine Realm of Mary Geoise.

Most of the time, the God Knights, led by Saint Garling, were stationed here.

Unless Imu had a mission assignment, the God Knights would rarely descend to the lower world.

"Saint Garling." Saturn Saint clasped his hands behind his back: "There is good news you will surely be interested in."

Saint Garling glanced sideways.

"Speak."

It is true that the Five Elders hold a status higher than the God Knights, but they cannot order the God Knights; the God Knights take orders only from Imu-sama.

Saturn Saint quickly stated his purpose.

As soon as he finished speaking, Saturn Saint saw Saint Garling adjusting his military uniform, looking as if he were about to descend to the lower world personally.

Seeing this, Saturn could only remind him.

"The descendant of the Davey family is of critical importance; do not kill him. It is best to capture him alive and hand him over to Imu-sama for processing."

"That goes without saying." Saint Garling gritted his teeth.

You Lox, the humiliation you brought me back then, I will return it to your son in exactly the same way.

"Where is Lox's son?"

"The West Sea."

West Sea waters, the Blackbeard Pirates.

After leaving the Whitebeard Pirates and setting sail for several months, following the Vice-Captain Arlong, Blackbeard finally recruited a third crew member: Lafitte.

Lafitte, aged twenty-two, was not only skilled in fighting with pistols and a cane, but could also generate wings on his back to fly.

Thus, the basic framework of the pirate crew was complete.

"What? Shanks the Red has sought you out?"

Lafitte nodded: "Yes, Captain. Do you know Shanks the Red?"

Blackbeard grinned: "Know him? I have a grudge against all three of them."

Blackbeard could never forget the incident where three brats from Luo Jie's crew ganged up on him and knocked out three of his teeth, an event he regarded as the greatest humiliation of his life.

"Saint Saint Saiwen Saint, Luo Jie's son Buggy, and Shanks the Red; all three were from Luo Jie's crew."

"Good heavens," Lafitte remarked.

"No wonder he's the Pirate King Luo Jie; the crew on his ship is getting more and more fierce one by one."

The former Emperor of the Sea, Barzab Saint Saint Saiwen, has now become the Raiden Shogun of Inazuma and the Celestial Saint Saint Saint Saiwen of the Celestial Dragons.

The Pirate King's son, Buggy, is being groomed by his imperial father, the Golden Lion, the Emperor of the Sea, as his successor.

The inconspicuous intern, Shanks the Red-Haired, has also formed the Red-Haired Pirates and set sail.

Graduating from Luo Jie's crew really makes a difference!

"Zeh hahaha~" Blackbeard grinned.

"Don't be discouraged, Lafitte. One day, our Black Crew will become an Emperor of the Sea."

Despite his words, Blackbeard is actually quite unreliable. The current four Emperors of the Sea are each more fierce than the last; there is simply no soft persimmon to squeeze.

Although Kaido was defeated by Saint Saint Saint Saiwen, he is the only great pirate who has not been beheaded or absorbed.

This single fact is enough to boast about.

This is because Saint Saint Saint Saiwen never leaves anyone alive under his command; Kaido is the sole exception.

And Whitebeard, who has roamed the seas for many years, was the first Emperor of the Sea. Under his banner were more than ten division commanders, and his grand fleet comprised over thirty pirate crews.

In the New World, his power is second only to the Morning Star Crew.

The other veteran powerhouse, Charlotte Linlin, gave birth to more than thirty children on her own and rules over the Whole Cake Island as a king.

She too cannot be underestimated.

Even the Flying Pirates, the weakest among them, occupy Honey Island, and as long as the Golden Lion is present, no one dares to cause trouble.

Furthermore, the Golden Lion and Saint Saint Saint Saiwen have been cooperating very happily until now.

I can responsibly say that the Morning Star Crew is the backing for the Golden Lion and the Flying Pirates, while the Golden Lion is Saint Saint Saint Saiwen's black-gloved hand.

The four Emperors of the Sea have almost no weaknesses.

This made Blackbeard feel somewhat melancholy: If old man Rocks were still alive, he, Blackbeard, would be the most awesome second-generation in the Great Sea.

You have to know, these four Emperors of the Sea were all members of the Rocks Pirates back then.

What the hell is Saint Saint Saint Saiwen? Does little Bai Mao think he can suppress the four Emperors alone?

Yet, though he should be the most awesome second-generation in the Great Sea, Blackbeard has had to rely on others for shelter these past years.

All of this is because old man Rocks lost.

"Hey, News Coo, a newspaper."

Lafitte's voice pulled Blackbeard's wandering thoughts back: "Did something big happen again?"

Lafitte blinked his eyes.

"Captain, your bounty has increased."
