"Oh my god, what am I seeing?"
"Is this a confession in disguise?"
"If it were me, I would have refused to leave long ago!"
"Tch...do you need to wear a sailor suit if you have such strong strength?"
The scene exploded at once.
Faced with Momousagi's rare initiative, it was far beyond the understanding of them, the Marines.
The only thing that made people feel fortunate was that Chaton wasn't here. Otherwise, he would probably be so angry that he would fall to the ground.
"Thank you. See you in three months. I hope you won't waste this fruit." Kai smiled kindly.
In front of everyone, he reached out again and gently rubbed Momousagi's head.
However, this time, Momousagi didn't dodge. Looking at Kai's hand, she shrugged her head slightly.
In front of everyone, she gladly accepted Kai's head pat.
Accompanied by Kai's departure, the oppressive atmosphere, which shrouded the port, dissipated with the wind.
"Alright, everyone, clean up and escort Jack the Drought of the Beast Pirates back to the Marine Headquarters. Next, for us, is the real challenge." Zephyr retracted his gaze, looked at the three warships that were left on the port, and issued an order in a deep voice.
Just now, he had boasted that it didn't matter that two ships had been destroyed by Kai.
However, if they really counted, two advanced warships were also crucial for the Marine, which had been suffering repeated defeats.
Just thinking about having to report and explain to Sengoku when he got back made his temples throb.
"Momousagi, you seem to be in a good mood, but I hope you don't get a sudden rush of blood to your head and do something outrageous." Tsuru glanced at Momousagi and said, "That kid isn't as simple as you think."
"Most importantly, the Headquarters' strength has suffered serious losses right now. You unexpectedly obtained this Mythical Zoan-type Devil Fruit. I hope you can master it as soon as possible!"
"Big Sister Tsuru, what do you mean by that?" Momousagi came back to her senses and glared at Tsuru and said, "Do you think I'll definitely lose to that guy?"
"Don't forget, I now possess the Phoenix Mythical Zoan-type Fruit. I can try to challenge the position of Marine admiral. In three months, I'll make that guy look at me with new eyes."
"Look at you with new eyes?"
"You should think about how to explain the matter of you leaving the fleet without permission when you get back!"
"Ah...Big Sister Tsuru, can't you help me?"
"No!"
...
Three days later, accompanied by the news of the Sabaody Archipelago spreading quickly,
the special express newspaper, which was issued by Big News Morgans, spread throughout the entire Grand Line and the Four Seas.
In the New World, on the Moby Dick, Whitebeard looked at the newspaper in his hand, and his eyebrows couldn't help but furrow.
"Pops, is that expression because of Laxus, the Marine supernova who defeated Jack the Drought, one of the Three Disasters of the Beast Pirates?" Marco also held a newspaper and had obviously seen the same side of the news.
"Marco, you should be very clear that this Jack isn't an ordinary guy. For him to be able to defeat that madman, he's not a simple guy." Diamond Jozu couldn't help but interject.
As one of the Four Emperors, Whitebeard, who was even the head of the Four Emperors, had obviously had no shortage of conflicts with that madman, Kaido.
It could be said that as the main force of the Whitebeard Pirates, they often exchanged blows with the Three Disasters.
Right now, this old opponent had actually been defeated by a newcomer, who belonged to the Marine forces.
For them old guys, it undoubtedly made them feel a bit ashamed.
"Marco, I think you should have investigated the intelligence related to that kid, right?" Whitebeard suddenly spoke.
For a time, on the huge deck, thousands of eyes locked onto Marco in unison.
Feeling the gazes that were cast from all around, a trace of hesitation flashed across Marco's face. He then sighed and said, "Pops, I know that you're doing this because you're planning to find a new stepping stone for Ace."
"However, after my investigation, this kid, like the Skeletal Great Demon, is of unknown origin. It's as if he jumped out of a rock."
"The first time he was discovered was in Loguetown in the East Blue, and he had exchanged blows with Admiral Aokiji. The second time he appeared, he had already killed Crocodile."
Speaking of this, a trace of worry appeared on Marco's face and said, "Right now, he's appeared for the third time and even defeated Jack the Drought. The strength that he possesses is still unknown."
"If Pops rashly arranges for him to be Ace's opponent, I'm worried..."
"Marco, are you worried that Ace will lose?" Whitebeard said in a deep voice.
"It seems that you still don't understand one thing."
"Ace is the son of that guy, Roger, and he's also my Whitebeard's adopted son. With the support of the two of us, I don't believe that he will fail."
"Don't forget, he's currently receiving Rayleigh's training. As long as he masters the three colors of Haki, the strength that he possesses will far surpass that kid!"
The low voice, like thunder, echoed on the deck for a long time and couldn't be dispelled.
Faced with this scene, Marco's expression sank. Just as he was about to say something,
a low sound of air being torn apart suddenly rang out.
Soon, he saw Ace's Striker approaching quickly on the sea surface in the distance.
He himself had already done a somersault in the air and landed on the deck.
"Pops, I brought you wine!" Ace carried a huge wine jug on his back and sat down on the deck and said, "Big Brother Marco, thank you for your concern."
"However, Pops is right. As Whitebeard's son, I will definitely clear away the obstacles for Pops and help Pops become the Pirate King."
"As for that Laxus, I will personally defeat him and then go to the Skeletal Great Demon!"
Watching Ace, who had suddenly appeared, and these ambitious words, a smile appeared on Whitebeard's face.
He then grabbed the wine jug, raised his head, and took a swig before laughing loudly and saying, "Good wine!"
"Ace is right. As my Whitebeard's son, you must have this kind of confidence."
"Defeating the so-called Marine supernova and stepping on the Skeletal Great Demon, they are just stepping stones for our Whitebeard Pirates."
Watching Whitebeard, who had suddenly burst into laughter, Marco sighed helplessly and said, "Ace, we're glad that you can have this kind of thought, whether it's Pops or us."
"However, if you want to exchange blows with him, I'm afraid you still have to hope that that kid can survive in Kaido's hands. I heard that that kid has rejected Kaido's invitation!"
Rejected Kaido's invitation?
Ace was stunned for a moment and then said with a smile, "Big Brother Marco, isn't it good that he rejected it?"
"If he can reach the level of admiral, then I'll defeat him. For the Marine Headquarters, that will be a disgrace."
"Then step on the so-called Five Emperors Skeletal Great Demon under our feet. At that time, our Whitebeard Pirates' prestige will soar!"
