Chapter 99 Electromagnetic Pulse [VIP]
The obvious threat made Ace look ugly.
He subconsciously retorted: "How could I possibly hurt my family!"
Even if he didn't want to live, he would never hurt his family.
Yale smiled meaningfully and gave a friendly reminder to the three pairs of vigilant eyes.
"Don't forget your business."
Sabo opened his eyes wide in surprise, not understanding why Yale reminded them.
"I'm really looking forward to the day of the decisive battle."
After saying this, Yale's figure disappeared from the spot, leaving everyone with different thoughts to guess his intentions.
"Ace, please spare Blackbeard for now." Sabo said seriously.
"Now is not the time. We have important things to do."
Ace clenched his fists and stared at Blackbeard Teach stubbornly.
There was a thoughtful look in Teach's eyes, and when he looked at Ace again, he showed a provocative grin.
Ace immediately shook off Sabo's hand and punched the stunned Teach hard in the face.
There was a muffled sound, and Teach retreated in embarrassment, covering his bleeding mouth and nose and shouting indistinctly.
"You're crazy, Ace! Do you really want to hurt your family?"
"Tsk, even if I die, I won't become a bastard like you!"
Ace sneered and attacked Teach again.
The surrounding metal balls and soldiers seemed to have collectively received Yale's orders and had no intention of stepping forward to stop him.
Teach could only curse in his heart, and at the same time stood up to meet Ace's attack.
Ace became more and more frightened as the fight went on.
The fighting power that Teach showed now was completely different from the fighting power he showed on the ship.
"You've been hiding your abilities all this time?!"
Ace originally thought that Teach became greedy after seeing the Dark-Dark Fruit, but now it seems that is not the case.
Teach laughed, kicked Ace away with a domineering kick, then turned and ran.
He is not a fool. Yale's attitude towards these people is so special that he didn't even take away their devil fruits.
Even without considering Yale's attitude, it is impossible for him to kill Ace when Ace still has two helpers.
So he should just run away. He will settle the score with Ace after he leaves here!
Ace was stopped by Sabo again and ultimately failed to catch up.
"I'm sorry." He bowed his head and apologized, knowing that his impulsiveness had caused trouble for Sabo.
Sabo shook his head and patted Ace's shoulder again.
"It's okay, no one would have thought that we would meet your enemy here."
"Ace, there will be another chance in the future."
Yamato also patted Ace's shoulder, offering optimism and comfort.
"Are you really here to see me?"
Uta, who watched the show from beginning to end, crossed her arms and lost her friendly attitude towards her fans.
Yamato nodded his head vigorously.
"Of course, we want to..."
"Sorry, Miss Uta, I made you laugh." Sabo pulled Yamato and then smiled apologetically at Uta.
"I'm afraid we can't have a good chat today. We'll bring records to you for autographs when we have the chance."
After something like this happened, it was no longer appropriate to talk about the topic of betrayal.
Sabo observed clearly that Uta truly admired Yale, and the possibility of convincing her was almost zero.
After politely saying goodbye, Sabo dragged the dejected Ace and Yamato away.
Wuta looked at the backs of the three people, frowned and shook his head.
It’s really strange, what on earth are they here for?
And Captain Yale, why would he protect Ace?
The first attack would be fine, but anyone who sees the murderer who killed his family would lose control.
But the second time, even the metal ball was ignored.
How strange...
It's really interesting to feel distressed and unable to come up with an answer even after racking your brains.
Returning to the bridge, while the core AI was broadcasting, Yale came to the instrument that projected the conditions on the lunar surface and admired the real-time image of the construction of the protection system.
Construction vehicles and engineering drones are busy working.
The mechanical arm rises and falls flexibly, cooperating with the connecting equipment to assemble the metal plates into their final shape.
The Eternal Night Pirates will leave here soon.
The next time it comes, it will probably be hundreds or even thousands of years later.
If nothing unexpected happens, it will only take a few years for the technological level of this planet to develop enough for the civilization here to step into the starry sky.
The first planet they explore must be the closest and safest moon. At that time, they will discover this protective tower and the message inside the tower.
Turning off the protection tower means that the existence of their planet will be sensed by the surrounding interstellar civilizations.
If the protective tower is not shut down, this planet will always be a non-existent nothingness in the observation of other civilizations.

Under the sea, Fishman Island.
Former Shichibukai Jinbe returned to Fishman Island with the latest news from the sea.
On this dream island hidden under the sea, there live two types of humans: mermen and mermaids.
They were human, of course, but to many at sea they were seen as fish, or as valuable slaves who could fetch a good price at auction.
In order to change this concept and situation, the royal family of the Dragon Palace Kingdom has been working hard.
198 years ago, the Kingdom of Ryugu became a member of the World Government.
Eight years ago, Princess Otohime risked her life to bring back from the Holy Land the signatures of the Celestial Dragons agreeing to the establishment of friendly relations between the Fishmen and humans.
However, these efforts did not produce good results, and discrimination against the merfolk still exists.
If it weren't for the protection of the Whitebeard Pirates, the slave traders would definitely be even more unscrupulous.
However, recently due to the existence of Yale, the number of pirates heading to the New World has decreased, and the number of slave traders has also decreased, and Fishman Island has lived a relatively peaceful life.
To be honest, since Yale appeared, Fishman Island has not been affected much by the other party.
Newspapers are scarce here, and it is difficult for ordinary people to understand the situation on the sea. Even if Yale broadcasts it live, many people will still take a gloating attitude.
But, this peace is short-lived.
The government is about to go to war with Yale.
Neptune, the king of the Dragon Palace Kingdom, has been struggling with how to deal with the situation.
This is a good opportunity. If the merfolk fight alongside the humans on the sea, then after victory, humans will be much more accepting of the merfolk.
As long as the new government cooperates, the merfolk will be able to achieve their goal of living equally with humans.
If it fails... Neptune hadn't considered that option.
If they failed, everyone would die. He didn't think Yale would let the fishmen alone go.
After much deliberation, Neptune found Jinbe, the former Seven Warlords of the Sea, and asked him to convey the conditions of the Ryugu Kingdom on his behalf.
A few days have passed, Jinbei should be back by now, right?
Neptune, who was feeling restless in the palace, finally heard the guard's report.
Jinbei came back and brought the expected good news.
The new government expressed its gratitude to them and promised to declare the fishmen equal to humans after the war.
Neptune felt relieved and asked about the current situation at sea.
Jinbe, a blue-skinned whale shark man, said seriously.
"After the government declared war, Yale didn't respond, but the World Recruitment is going smoothly. This war... should be able to start."
What they are most worried about now is Yale's attitude.
If Yale continues to remain silent, the government's declaration of war will be a joke.
Unless Shanks's information is correct.
Yale didn't actually make the islands disappear, he just covered them up.
As more and more islands disappear, the ocean area of the East China Sea will definitely become smaller and smaller.
As long as they searched side by side, they would eventually hit the edge of the island.
"Broadcast it. The people have the right to know about this."
Once Neptune made a decision, he acted quickly.
While the guards were preparing the Den Den Mushi, he asked about the situation of the Whitebeard Pirates again.
Jinbei nodded, "The Whitebeard Pirates are fine, but they still can't find Ace."
The life paper was intact, but it was motionless.
The Whitebeard Pirates had no choice but to temporarily give up their search for Ace.
If Ace was really captured by Yale, they would definitely be able to find each other in the subsequent decisive battle.

As time goes by, everyone on the planet, whether inside or outside the island group, is waiting for this final war.
Vegapunk suddenly woke up, looked at Smoker standing in front of him in a daze for a moment, and suddenly his face turned pale.
"I was controlled!" His voice trembled, and his hands couldn't help but tremble when he recalled the memory of being controlled.
What he did...
They were controlled to produce countless exoskeletons and high-tech weapons, and now these equipment have been distributed to the citizens of the island group. The citizens have to take these things and fight life and death with their compatriots outside!
"I'm glad you woke up." Smoker breathed a sigh of relief.
While the alliance members were traveling to various islands, he came to Future Island, wanting to seek help from Vegapunk.
As a result, all the scientists on Future Island were controlled by Yale and worked day and night to make exoskeleton weapons.
It took him a while to avoid the metal balls and guards and reach Vegapunk.
"What should we do now?" Smoker asked. "The weapons you made should have some countermeasures, right?"
Vegapunk nodded and spoke hurriedly.
"EMP, electromagnetic pulse, it can interfere with the normal operation of electronic equipment - I studied it when I was sober. I'll take you there."
If Vegapunk had great trust in Yale at the beginning, then after what happened with the big bear, he clearly knew that Yale could never be the same kind of person as them.
He needs to find a way to deal with the high-tech products of alien civilizations, and EMP is his latest research.
Smoker's eyes lit up. It was good to have a solution.
He had seen the power of those weapons on the way to Future Island. If there was no way to deal with them, the people outside would suffer heavy casualties if they attacked.
Smoker asked curiously, "Can this EMP also disrupt the island group's camouflage?"
Vegapunk nodded, but then poured cold water on Smoker.
"But it has a limited range. If we want to completely remove the disguise of the island group, we need to launch many EMPs simultaneously. We don't have time to make so many preparations."
