"If that's the case, then Akatsuki doesn't need the Whitebeard Pirates anymore, and I didn't need to come here to help with the treatment either."
Haruno Sakura shook her head, her voice gradually lowered, "Sasuke-kun should know that capturing a Fruit Ability User is not a difficult task for the Akatsuki..."
"Hmm..."
Uchiha Sasuke's expression grew slightly tense, he furrowed his brow and said, "It seems that guy really gave us a huge problem... Now we can only rely on our luck?"
"Gurararara..."
Whitebeard Edward Newgate couldn't help but chuckle, looking down at Saki on the bed, "At least Saki is still alive! I'll remember this favor, whether that Fruit is found or not..."
"Uh..."
Haruno Sakura's face looked slightly awkward, she couldn't help but speak, "According to our agreement, no matter what happens in the world, the Whitebeard Pirates must find the Dark-Dark Fruit and send it to Wano Country within two months..."
"Sakura..."
Uchiha Sasuke's brow furrowed tighter, he asked in a deep voice, "Does that guy mean we must give him the Dark-Dark Fruit? Even if he gets it first himself, it would still count as us breaching the contract, right?"
"...Yes."
Haruno Sakura slowly nodded.
"Hey, what kind of logic is that!"
Diamond Jozu couldn't help but loudly criticize, "Didn't you say it's enough if you get the Dark-Dark Fruit?"
"Yeah!"
Flower Sword Vista's face also turned serious, "If that's the case, what if you obstruct us from dealing with that traitor Teach!"
"If that's really the case..."
Izou's face also looked a bit grim, he had no good feelings towards these enemies invading Wano Country, "It really does sound like a despicable tactic..."
"Shut up!"
Whitebeard glared at the captains, who were full of righteous indignation, then turned to look at Haruno Sakura, the corners of his mouth curling into a smile, "Gurararara... The leader of the Akatsuki really is interesting!
If he gets the Dark-Dark Fruit before us, we can take it from him and deliver it back, it would still count as fulfilling the agreement, right?"
"..."
Haruno Sakura couldn't help but step back half a step.
Uchiha Sasuke stood in front of Whitebeard, looking at Haruno Sakura and continued, "Sakura, does that guy's condition have to be this demanding? Isn't it possible for the Whitebeard Pirates and the Akatsuki to work together to find Teach and the Dark-Dark Fruit?"
"Well..."
Haruno Sakura grasped her ninja pouch tightly and said in a low voice, "Sasuke-kun, have you stayed here too long? Since when has the Akatsuki ever cooperated with others..."
Haruno Sakura paused here, continuing, "And before I came here, someone specifically instructed me to tell you not to do anything stupid... You should know the disparity between the Whitebeard Pirates and the Akatsuki, right?"
"Hey, you Akatsuki really look down on people!"
"We are the strongest pirate gang in the world!"
"Just a hidden organization..."
"Only Kaido's ally..."
"..."
Uchiha Sasuke's expression was grim.
Is the gap between the Whitebeard Pirates and the Akatsuki large?
It's not really Haruno Sakura being insulting; frankly speaking, the disparity between the two is extraordinarily large.
In terms of top, mid, or low-level strength, the entire Whitebeard Pirates, including all affiliated pirate gangs, are definitely not a match for the Akatsuki.
The Akatsuki's peripheral power, the Hundred Beast Pirates, are like the Whitebeard Pirates as another of the Four Emperors' pirate gangs, and they are just one of the many forces under Akatsuki's control.
"Speaking of which..."
Marco waved his hand to stop the group of captains, looking at Haruno Sakura with curiosity, "That leader of yours from the Akatsuki really does sound like someone unreasonable... Isn't he worried that we might not be able to fulfill the agreement?"
"Hahahahaha... Marco is really wicked!"
"But Marco is right!"
"Little girl, we are pirates you know!"
"Little girl, pirates may not always fulfill agreements, though we of the Whitebeard Pirates do keep our promises, but our swords are sharp too!"
"Enough!"
Uchiha Sasuke's eyes suddenly turned blood red, he coldly stared at the captains present and said in a deep voice, "Vista, Sakura is a medical ninja here to help save Saki... What do you mean by that?"
At this moment...
Uchiha Sasuke's Haki was undeniably evident!
Everyone couldn't help but feel a little shocked!
Whitebeard extended his palm and ruffled Sasuke's hair, gently calming him down, "Sasuke, put away your Haki, it's fine to scare this bunch of fools, but don't frighten our guest..."
After he finished speaking, Whitebeard looked at Haruno Sakura, the corners of his mouth curling into a smile, "Gurararara... Sorry, my sons were too rude!"
This Four Emperors really is like a father.
Because only Whitebeard Edward Newgate, using a father's identity, would apologize to Haruno Sakura, a medical ninja, on behalf of his disappointing sons.
Just like any other father...
"...It's fine."
Haruno Sakura bit her lip, shaking her head and said in a deep voice, "That person didn't tell me what he would do, Sasuke-kun should understand."
Sakura continued here, looking at Uchiha Sasuke with a hint of concern in her eyes, "Sasuke-kun, did you threaten that person? Or... did you accidentally say something excessive to him?"
"...I was worried about Saki's injury at the time."
Uchiha Sasuke's face couldn't help but look even worse.
According to his suspicion, Uehara Naraku probably got petty again, deliberately putting forward this condition, targeting him and the Whitebeard Pirates... It's also possible that Uehara Naraku was looking for a reason to start targeting the Whitebeard Pirates!
But it has already begun!
There is no room for maneuver in any case!
Uehara Naraku transferred Haruno Sakura from the Ninja World to help save Saki, thus the life game under his control had already taken an irreversible course.
For one Saki...
It could possibly involve the entire Whitebeard Pirates!
The Whitebeard Pirates' only chance of victory... is to immediately find Marshall D. Teach, hoping he hasn't eaten the Fruit yet, and reclaim the Dark-Dark Fruit he stole!
"Sakura."
Uchiha Sasuke looked at Haruno Sakura, speaking with full seriousness, "Thank you for helping save Saki. Please convey to that person that I will honestly fulfill this agreement!"
"No..."
Whitebeard reached out and patted Sasuke's shoulder, "It's Whitebeard who will fulfill the agreement!"
Whitebeard turned to look at Haruno Sakura, couldn't help but smile and said, "Gurararara... Since that guy doesn't want my favor, little girl, then consider this favor as owed to you!"
"No, no, no..."
Haruno Sakura hurriedly waved her hand, her expression slightly awkward, "Actually, it's not necessary, I'm just following orders to carry out a task..."
"It doesn't matter! We've remembered it anyway."
Whitebeard continued with a smile, "No matter what you want to do, we will help you. If you want to pick a husband from this ship, I would agree... Gurararara..."
