Chapter 572: Chapter 464: Oh, I’m Under Orders to Find the Dark-Dark Fruit

"..."

Ace couldn’t help but shiver.

A glimmer of light flashed in Marshall D. Teach’s eyes, as if he had discovered something extremely interesting and a terribly dark secret.

Uchiha Sasuke turned his head to look at Ace and Teach, speaking in a low voice: "If possible, never get involved with him in this lifetime... absolutely never meet him... absolutely never get to know him... and never say the wrong words in his presence!"

Uchiha Sasuke continued with a grim expression: "Once, someone said the wrong thing in front of him and ended up being manipulated to the pinnacle of the world by him!

Then... he was manipulated by him again from the pinnacle of the world and dragged down into the abyss... that guy possesses a power that can dominate the world!"

Marshall D. Teach couldn’t help but grin, murmuring: "Zehahaha... Sasuke, don’t scare us too much. Surely he can’t beat Old Man Whitebeard... If he really has the power to dominate the world, how could he possibly be hiding..."

"Teach! Don’t speak carelessly!"

Uchiha Sasuke interrupted Marshall D. Teach. He had a good impression of this person. However, if he remembered correctly, Teach was also on Uehara Naraku’s list... 𝐟𝐫𝕖𝗲𝘄𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝕧𝐞𝚕.𝕔𝕠𝐦

Which means...

Marshall D. Teach might very well become Uehara’s pawn! And now this guy was mocking Uehara Naraku here, wasn’t that just courting death!

"...Yes..."

Seeing Sasuke interrupt him so solemnly, Marshall D. Teach couldn’t help but swallow his words.

That guy...

Is he really that terrifying?

Teach couldn’t help but feel a bit doubtful.

If he possesses such world-dominating power, surely he would have declared war on this world long ago, becoming the most powerful person in this world. How could he be hiding behind the scenes?

What Teach didn’t know was.

Just after he finished speaking, Uchiha Itachi received a message in his mind, filling him with confusion and puzzlement.

But...

For Sasuke, everything can be endured.

"Alright, Sasuke, there’s no need to scare them anymore."

Uchiha Itachi glanced at Teach, then turned to Sasuke, smiling as he gently smoothed Sasuke’s hair, and said softly: "That person isn’t that terrifying. He let me out this time, not just to save you, but mainly to find the Dark-Dark Fruit..."

"The Dark-Dark Fruit?"

Marshall D. Teach couldn’t help but cry out, his face changing instantly. He never expected that there were others seeking the same Fruit as he!

That had been his hidden goal within the Whitebeard Pirates for years!

If he couldn’t find the Dark-Dark Fruit, Marshall D. Teach would rather remain hidden in the Whitebeard Pirates for the rest of his life!

Unexpectedly...

There were also others searching for the Dark-Dark Fruit!

Those looking for the Dark-Dark Fruit seemed more powerful than Whitebeard’s force because Uchiha Sasuke on the Moby Dick was never afraid of Whitebeard, yet feared the rumored leader of Akatsuki like a tiger!

Hearing Marshall D. Teach’s voice, everyone couldn’t help but look at him, and Ace asked in surprise: "Hmm, Teach, what’s wrong with you?"

"No, it’s nothing."

Teach shook his head, speaking evasively: "I just seem to have heard the name of that Fruit somewhere. It’s said to be the most evil Fruit in the world..."

"That’s right."

Uchiha Itachi nodded and continued calmly: "The Dark-Dark Fruit is the most evil Logia-Type Devil Fruit in this world, and others find it hard to harness its power.

But the power of the Dark-Dark Fruit is also very strong, so that person wants me to find it in the ocean and have someone in the organization consume it, to prevent it from falling into other’s hands..."

"..."

Teach quietly lowered his head.

At this moment, Teach’s face looked particularly grim.

If Uchiha Itachi truly found the Dark-Dark Fruit, it would mean all his years of hiding would be in vain!

But...

What could be done now?

Could he really compete with Uchiha Itachi to see who would be the fastest?

Uchiha Itachi had the backing of a mysterious organization to search for the Dark-Dark Fruit at sea, while he could only wait for it within the Whitebeard Pirates...

This really wasn’t looking good.

Could he eventually snatch the Dark-Dark Fruit from Uchiha Itachi’s hands?

Uchiha Sasuke couldn’t help but furrow his brow, voicing his suspicion: "Is that guy really so kind, just asking Nii-san to help find a Devil Fruit?"

"I’m not exactly sure either."

Uchiha Itachi shook his head, having noted every expression on Teach’s face, though he didn’t voice it, gently continuing: "Are you heading to Wano Country?"

"Yes!"

Ace’s face flashed a smile as he nodded: "We heard there are ninjas and samurai in Wano Country, and it’s the hometown of our 2nd Squad’s former leader, so I wanted to go see what kind of person our former leader was..."

Indeed, that was Ace’s intention.

Just as they were being chased by the Navy into Kaido Sea Region, they decided to take this opportunity to travel around Wano Country and see what kind of person the former leader of the 2nd Squad, Kozuki Oden, was.

"Looks like we’ll have to part ways here."

Uchiha Itachi patted Uchiha Sasuke’s head, smiling at his brother’s grim face, softly comforting him: "Don’t be sad, Sasuke. Maybe not long from now, I might also come to the Whitebeard Sea Region... we’ll meet again then."

"Nii-san..."

Uchiha Sasuke couldn’t help but clench his teeth, voicing in a low tone: "I will seal your body first and think of a way to revive you soon..."

"Sasuke!"

Uchiha Itachi quickly shook his head, wrapping an arm around Sasuke’s neck, pressing his forehead against his and whispered: "Sasuke, we’ve never really talked seriously before..."

Uchiha Itachi revealed a relieved smile at the corner of his mouth: "Maybe you already know the truth now, but that doesn’t mean I have nothing to say to you...

Sasuke, you must live well. Even if you never forgive me, it doesn’t matter. No matter how you change in the future, I will always love you."

"..."

Uchiha Sasuke’s heart was shaken immensely.

Even Portgas D. Ace beside him was surprised, looking at Uchiha Itachi in front of him. Shock flashed across his face, seemingly knowing part of the truth.

Ace finally understood why Uchiha Sasuke always said his brother, Uchiha Itachi, was the most perfect brother in the world...

"Nii-san..."

Uchiha Sasuke bit his lip as tears unconsciously flowed from his eyes, clenching his fists, and spoke softly: "I will..."

"Sasuke."

Uchiha Itachi patted Sasuke’s head, interrupting what he was about to say, softly stating: "Sasuke, you now have new friends and a new life; continue being yourself, and don’t always live in the past..."

Uchiha Itachi’s voice gradually lowered to a whisper: "No matter what scenery lies ahead, it will always be better than past events..."

There was nothing in this world more terrible than their past as brothers. No matter what lies ahead, it must surely be beautiful...
