The Uchiha brothers were destined to separate.
If these two brothers stayed together for a long time, it was very easy for them to have thoughts of betrayal. Uehara would never allow them to go out of control.
Sasuke had to go to Wano Country to carry out the task Uehara gave him. Ace also wanted to go to Wano Country to travel, and Itachi could not stay with them.
They quickly sailed to a small island, and they separated.
However, when they separated, Teach suddenly said, "Captain Ace, Sasuke, let's split up here..."
Teach flashed an awkward smile. He grinned and said, "I want to go back. I have always been stupid and I don't want to go to Wano Country to drag you down. On the way, we met the marine and you protect me..."
"Teach..."
There was a hint of doubt in Sasuke's eyes. He said softly, "It doesn't matter. We won't meet the marine along the way..."
Teach shook his head and grinned, "I've been out for too long this time. I still miss the Mobi Dick..."
"Alright..."
Sasuke frowned and promised Teach.
Everyone in the Whitebeard Pirates was free. Since Teach was afraid of danger and didn't want to go to Wano Country, Sasuke and Ace couldn't stop him.
Perhaps Teach stayed on the Moby Dick for too long and didn't want to leave the warm pirate group...
"There might be dangers on the road..."
Ace was still hesitant.
Teach grinned and said, "Don't worry! The marine doesn't like small characters like me. I don't have any bounty on me..."
This was the truth.
Marshall D. Teach was simply a weirdo.
Obviously, Teach has been in the Whitebeard Pirates for more than 20 years, but he still hasn't been offered a bounty by the marine. It was simply amazing...
Everyone felt that Teach was playing with the Whitebeard Pirates. But Teach was also very brave when fighting, and he would take the initiative to ask to be a sentry every night.
No one was qualified to refuse a man's request to return home.
Ace and Sasuke didn't continue to persuade him. Their group parted, while Itachi and Teach stayed behind.
Sasuke and Ace waved goodbye on the boat. The two of them rushed to Wano Country. Sasuke still had a reluctant expression on his face.
But Sasuke knew...
The person who was manipulating their brothers behind the scenes would definitely not let them stay together for a long time.
"Sasuke."
Ace put his arm around Sasuke's shoulder and laughed heartily, "You don't need to feel sad about the separation! As long as we are in the sea, we will meet again eventually."
"Well..."
Sasuke nodded.
At least he now knew one thing, that Itachi had been resurrected by Uehara, which was enough.
As long as he knew that his brother was still here... it was already very good.
Ace looked at Itachi, who was getting further and further away from them, and sighed softly, "Itachi-san is really a respectable brother..."
This brother...
He was much more outstanding than him as a brother!
Although Ace hadn't spent much time with Itachi, Ace also noticed that Itachi had been caring for Sasuke in every possible way during this period of time.
He feels a little ashamed when he thinks about it...
This brother seemed to have never treated that brother of his, Luffy, so seriously...
"Right, Sasuke. "
Ace suddenly patted his forehead and said with a smile, "I almost forgot, we can invite your brother to join our pirate group!"
"Stop dreaming!"
A hint of coldness flashed across Sasuke's face. He shook his head and said in a deep voice, "No matter what, it is absolutely impossible for Nii-san to leave Akatsuki... Moreover, anyone who dares to betray Akatsuki will definitely not have a good end."
Sasuke slowly clenched his fists and continued with gritted teeth, "As long as I am there... that person will never let Nii-san join with me!"
"It is really hateful..."
Ace could not help but shake his head and suddenly grinned, "Don't worry, we will definitely defeat that guy and save your brother!"
"Shut up!"
Sasuke frowned and looked at Ace with dissatisfaction, "Didn't I tell you not to talk nonsense?"
"What? There are only the two of us here..."
"Shut up!"
Sasuke and Ace drove the boat towards Wano Country. They were getting further and further away from the small island.
On the small island.
After Sasuke and Ace left.
An ominous glint flashed in Teach's eyes, but he quickly hid it. He slowly turned his head to look at Itachi and laughed, "Zehahaha... Itachi-san, where are you going?"
"I don't know."
Itachi shook his head and whispered, "It should be to find a prosperous place first and find out which pirate group has gotten a devil fruit recently... The sea is still too big, so I can only look for it slowly."
"Do you want to go together?"
Teach rubbed his palms and whispered to Itachi, "I also want to go to a bigger town to see if I can take a merchant ship to our sea area..."
"Yes."
Itachi slowly nodded and calmly said, "Are you interested in chatting with me on the way? I also want to hear about Sasuke's story in the Whitebeard Pirates..."
"Zehahahaha... Of course, I can."
A smile appeared on Teach's face. He quickly nodded and said, "Sasuke now is one of the strongest people in this sea!"
The two of them chatted as they walked.
Unfortunately, this island was too small. They did not find the information they wanted. The two simply bought a small boat and rushed to the next island.
After watching Itachi board the ship together, a sinister smile flashed across Teach's face. He was still thinking about his plan in his heart.
He had to find an opportunity...
Kill this person who was also looking for Yami Yami no Mi(Dark-Dark Fruit)!
In the sea, this was the best opportunity. As long as he quickly dealt with Itachi with a sneak attack, no one would know that he had done so.
The only thing that made Teach's heart pound was two things...
The first thing was that Sasuke mentioned that Akatsuki's leader could control Itachi from behind the scenes, and he could understand anything through Itachi
The second thing was Itachi's strength.
If the sneak attack was unsuccessful, then he basically had no way out!
At that time, no matter if it were the mysterious Akatsuki Organization behind Itachi or Sasuke, they would definitely not let him off!
So...
He had to plan and then move!
"Itachi-san."
A smile flashed across the corner of Teach's mouth. He looked at Itachi and asked curiously, "Sasuke seems to have mentioned that the Akatsuki leader is a person whose name can not be spoken of. Is he really as strong as he said?"
"That's not it."
The corners of Itachi's mouth curled into a smile. He shook his head and explained softly, "Sasuke grew up in Akatsuki when he was a child and was deceived by the leader, so his heart is a little biased... In fact, the leader is not as powerful as he thought..."
When he said this, Itachi's voice gradually calmed down, "Apart from his ability to revive the dead, the leader rarely takes the initiative to attack. His status is too detached in the organization..."
Itachi even spread out his palm and continued to speak, "I was just worried that Sasuke was too dependent on me like when he was a child, so I told him that the resurrected person could not get rid of the leader's control..."
"What a good brother..."
Teach stood behind Itachi, his eyes flashed with a fierce light, and the corner of his mouth showed the gums with missing teeth!
Teach listened to Itachi talk about the unknown leader and the smile on his face gradually became more ferocious!
His strength was not weak...
His ambition was very big...
His plan was very deep...
Although Marshall D. Teach has always played the image of a pitiful and weak pirate. He knows what kind of person he was!
Once you encounter an opportunity, you absolutely must not miss it!
Once you can grasp the opportunity, you absolutely must not hesitate!
Because Teach knew his own strength, he also had enough conceit. After all, he had been hiding in the Whitebeard Pirates for more than 20 years, and he was not wasting his time there!
Itachi seemed to not notice it at all. He stood on the dock, looked at the sea, and continued, "In fact, Akatsuki has gradually declined! If I withdraw from this organization, it may not take long for Akatsuki to disband...
Just like how the Whitebeard Pirates are like home to you, Akatsuki is also a home to me. Although I can leave Akatsuki at any time, I don't want to really go. I can only intimidate Sasuke and hope that he will give up this idea…
Because Akatsuki has always been hiding, in fact, the members of the organization are getting fewer and fewer, and the strength is getting weaker and weaker. So we need Yami Yami no Mi(Dark-Dark Fruit)...
"..."
Teach listened and nodded.
This was the truth...
An organization that has always been hidden behind the scenes and has never appeared. Even he has never heard of it. How can there be a monstrous power?
It turns out that they only relied on Itachi in front of them to survive...
No wonder Itachi wanted to find Yami Yami no Mi(Dark-Dark Fruit)...
It was estimated that the Akatsuki leader wanted to rely on Yami Yami no Mi(Dark-Dark Fruit) to regain his powerful strength and continue to maintain his weak organization.
Sasuke had blown him to the point that he was scared!
As a result, it turned out that Itachi, this older brother, had been scaring him in order to appease his younger brother. He had almost scared this hidden ambitious person!
"Humph, Yami Yami no Mi(Dark-Dark Fruit)..."
Teach slowly clenched his palm. His fingertips gradually bent, and he suddenly attacked Itachi's back. His palm was covered with pitch-black Busoshoku Haki(Armament Haki) and suddenly stabbed into Itachi's heart!
A fierce and crazy smile flashed across Teach's face. His palm pierced through Itachi's heart. He laughed wildly and said, "Yami Yami no Mi(Dark-Dark Fruit)... is mine!"
"..."
Itachi did not care about the injury on his chest at all. He just calmly turned around and looked at Teach, standing behind and attacking him.
