(A/N: Finally the first mission, everyone was bored, right?)
The days passed quickly for every single activity, which is why two weeks have passed for Hisashi.
This day, as soon as the exercises with Might Guy finished, Hisashi came back home to rest. He was really exhausted, but this feeling of getting stronger is really captivating. For this reason, now Hisashi is a freak who trains in every different way, not only for physical strength but also with Devil Fruit.
Just as he was relaxing mentally, he began to hear a continuous series of rings in his head, like little bells.
Hisashi doesn't know what's going on. As soon as he heard all this, his first reaction was if someone was attacking him.
Only after a couple of seconds did he remember the chat group.
Hisashi doesn't really know why members started contacting him like this. Something so big can't have happened so soon. At least Hisashi thinks so.
Mad Scientist: "@Primo! Urgent!"
Queen's Watchdog: "@Primo! Urgent!"
Edward Newgate: "@Primo! Urgent!"
Edward Newgate: "Leader, this is a dire situation!"
Primo: "What happened?"
Hisashi doesn't really know what happened, which is why he is baffled.
Edward Newgate: "Teach ... Teach ... he killed my son!"
Hisashi sighed at what Whitebeard said. He would have expected this thing. No, he knew it would happen. Sometimes fate is not so easy to beat.
Precisely for this reason, this still happened even if Whitebeard tried to intervene.
Primo: "What did I tell you?"
Hisashi doesn't really know what to say here. He can't only complain towards Whitebeard for what he did.
Edward Newgate: "I'm really sorry, I thought I could make Teach think, at least change his mind, make him understand that no matter what, I would be close to him, but ...
Primo: "This thing complicates things a bit ..."
Mad Scientist: "Why? Can we know why?"
Primo: "Because this thing will be the beginning of Whitebeard's fall, in fact, at the end of this event, Whitebeard, who is known by you as Edward Newgate, will die."
Mad Scientist: "Will he die?"
Perhaps the only one who has the greatest reaction is Rintaro Okabe. After all, he is practically a normal human being with no particular power.
But even if the others have not said anything, their faces are not so relaxed. After all, after these two weeks, every chat group member has more or less formed some relationships with each other.
Precisely for this reason, listening that a member and the one with whom it is easier to communicate will die at the end of this has left a bit of a bad taste in everyone's mouth.
Perhaps the only person who is not too impressed by this is Othinus. She has seen too many people being killed, including comrades.
Primo: "The fundamental question is only one, Ace, did he chase him?"
Hisashi must know, if Ace really chased him, then it's bad because the cause of Marineford's war is the capture of Ace.
Edward Newgate: "No, thankfully, I blocked Ace from chasing Teach. Currently, he's really at fault with himself. After all, Teach was a member of his division. Thatch's death hit him really hard. He thinks he's responsible too ..."
Edward Newgate: "If I hadn't stopped him, I'm sure he would have started chasing Teach without stopping for even a second."
Goddess of Middle Two Diseases: "Leader, can you tell what exactly will happen in the future?"
Reading Othinus's question, Hisashi can't help but explain to the other members the general future of Whitebeard's world, at least what will happen after this event.
Suddenly the chat group fell into profound silence.
...
Whitebeard, who is the one to whom this happened, is in silence at this moment, looking at the lifeless body of his son Thatch.
All of Whitebeard's children were around him, gazing with anger and sadness at their brother's body.
Anger at their incompetence to stop such a thing, anger at Teach for committing such a deplorable act, after all, he broke perhaps the most important rule of this ship.
The feeling of sadness is for this loss of theirs. Perhaps the one who is more emotional than the others is Ace himself.
His hat obscures his face, and with that, his body is shaking slightly with clenched fists.
The frustration, the anger, and the guilt ... Ace can't describe them. He knows this is partly his fault.
Ace immediately looked up so that he could look at his father, Whitebeard.
"Pops, Why ?! Why don't you make me chase Teach ?!"
"Ace!"
Marco next to Ace could not help but look at Ace with a serious gaze.
"No, Marco, Ace is right. This is partly my fault. After all, I haven't been able to accept the reality that Teach would have betrayed the ship sooner or later. His character was such ..."
Ace immediately raised his voice upon hearing this from his father.
"Then..."
"But that doesn't mean I'll make you chase that criminal alone! He has done the only thing you must not do on this ship. From now on, Teach is no longer my son! We'll all look for him together, and when we find him, he will see what happens to someone that does such a thing to us, the Whitebeard Pirates!"
Whitebeard's words lifted his children's mood slightly.
Even though Whitebeard's words are quite right, Ace still can't forgive himself. Without saying anything, he went back to his cabin, leaving the others behind.
Whitebeard seeing that back, muttered with a sad tone in his voice, "Ace ..."
Immediately a strange silence fell again among all the members present.
...
Mad Scientist: "Leader, if you know this, it means you'll also know how to prevent Whitebeard's death, right?"
Primo: "Indeed, I know. The thing that triggered the Marineford War is the very fact that Ace has chased Teach. Now that Ace hasn't chased Teach, the Marineford War shouldn't happen."
Primo: "After all, the Marineford War is caused by two main causes. Thatch's death is the fuse for this war, and the fact that Teach captured Ace is the flame that set the fuse on fire. Since Whitebeard. blocked Ace, the war, I repeat, shouldn't happen."
Mad Scientist: "@Edward Newgate, I won't be strong, but that doesn't mean I won't help you! If only I had points to get there, I would gladly help!"
Rintaro Okabe really took this chat group to heart. After all, here he can behave as he wants, show his chuni side without others judging him with an evil eye, everyone is friends with each other, laugh and joke.
The one who took the chat group to heart, probably among the members, after Hisashi himself, is him.
Edward Newgate: "I appreciate your thought! What matters is the heart."
Just then, a message arrived on Hisashi's chat group in the form of a notification. For this reason, he could not help but take a look.
What he read left him speechless, but at the same time excited.
[Group Announcement: Due to an anomaly presented in the world of member @Edward Newgate, Dimensional Chat Group has opened the [Chat Group Mission] feature!
When performing missions, points are not required to travel to the member's world. The available places are limited to balance this, so members are asked to choose carefully who to send.
For more information, click here: [Group Quest Information]]
Hisashi, at the same time, however, cannot help but observe the other members, mainly the fact that they were still chatting with each other without any of them saying anything about this announcement.
This only means one thing: only he, as the group leader, has the power to read it.
Hisashi, at the same time, realized that this situation in Whitebeard's world is not as simple as it first seems.
"The Chat Group Missions function has just been unlocked, and this event must be very rare. In two weeks, nothing has happened. This means that what we all thought is something of totally different proportions. The chat group shouldn't do that for something that happened in the original story, but only for something out of the box."
In fact, as Hisashi predicted, what he read as soon as he pressed [Group Quest Information] left him stunned.
Precisely for this reason, he could only murmur.
"This mission ... it's exciting!"
