At this mont, Whitebeard sat in his captain’s seat, gripping a newspaper. The results of the battle between the Black Spade Pirates and the Red Hair Pirates were written on it.
"Hmm?"
Whitebeard’s eyes narrowed slightly as he slowly spoke, "Has that Red Hair brat negotiated with the super rookies on the ocean? He’s indeed caught Roger’s bad habits..."
On this sea, there aren’t many who can freely criticize Pirate King Gol D. Roger, but Whitebeard is definitely the most qualified.
"Hmm."
Marco, standing next to Whitebeard, nodded with dead fish eyes, speaking softly, "Dad, they are heading towards our territory..."
"Is that so?"
Whitebeard’s mouth twitched, his massive beard trembling slightly as he laughed loudly, "Gurararara... Then let’s go et them! Such super rookies have never appeared on the ocean before!"
Even in the era when he and Gol D. Roger contended, there have never been rookies as strong as Portgas D. Ace and Uchiha Sasuke. They are only seventeen this year!
Marco raised an eyebrow and said, "Dad, I’ll go et them first..."
"No need."
Whitebeard shook his head.
To be honest, Whitebeard was more worried about his sons.
After all, the vice-captain of the Black Spade Pirates, Uchiha Sasuke, is soone who can even defeat Benn Beckman, the vice-captain of the Red Hair Pirates!
In the entire Whitebeard Pirates, apart from Marco, there is no one who can compare with Benn Beckman!
If Marco goes...
There’s a high possibility of a one-way trip.
Therefore, Whitebeard Edward Newgate plans to personally et Ace and Uchiha Sasuke to see just how formidable these two brats are.
"They are indeed two remarkable brats..."
Whitebeard glanced at the newspaper in his hand again, unable to resist grinning, "Gurararara... Compared to that brat Sand Crocodile I t last ti, these two have much more energy!"
"Last ti..."
Marco’s eyelids couldn’t help but flip: "It’s been over a decade since we last encountered that Crocodile, right?"
Marco pondered for a mont before leisurely speaking, "Since Crocodile beca one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea, he no longer has the guts to co to the New World, I heard he’s living comfortably in Alabasta..."
This statent is indeed accurate.
Crocodile is indeed living very comfortably.
Even more comfortably than Marco imagined.
Currently, Crocodile is entirely subrged in water, unable to move, glaring angrily at Hoshigaki Kisa who was sitting in his position.
Hoshigaki Kisa grinned and slowly spoke, "Is this all the ability of a Seven Warlord of the Sea? Seems like I’ve chosen the wrong ally!"
"What exactly is your goal?"
Crocodile glared furiously at Hoshigaki Kisa.
Originally, Crocodile only wanted to discuss with Kisa how to replace Jinbe as one of the Seven Warlords, but ended up beaten by Kisa under the pretext of testing an ally’s strength.
Facing an opponent like Kisa who excels in Water Release and Haki, Crocodile’s Sand-Sand Fruit abilities were completely suppressed, leaving Sand Crocodile without any strength to retaliate!
"Tsk..."
Hoshigaki Kisa endeavored to show a friendly smile, but still appeared nacing: "This is truly dull, I rely wanted to find an ally, but now it seems Mr. Crocodile is not qualified to be my ally!"
Hoshigaki Kisa leisurely stood up, chuckling, "From today onwards, I announce my resignation from Baroque Works, I hope you all can clear this up!"
After saying this, Kisa continued, "Oh, by the way, the things I’ve done might hinder my attempt to beco a Seven Warlord of the Sea... so I hope the boss of Baroque Works can handle those matters, alright?"
"Hmph, I agree."
Crocodile gritted his teeth and said, "I will have Nico Robin issue a statent in the newspaper that you’ve defected from Baroque Works!"
"Haha, then I hope we’ll et again soday."
Hoshigaki Kisa grabbed his Shark Skin Greatsword and placed it on his back, leaving Rainy Land without any reluctance.
Originally, Kisa’s role within Baroque Works was to take the bla for Uehara Naraku in front of Crocodile, now that Uehara Naraku is about to beco a Navy undercover, Kisa no longer needs to stay here.
Once Hoshigaki Kisa had left.
Crocodile turned to Nico Robin who was hiding by the side, with a grim expression he spoke, "Nico Robin, you won’t betray too, will you?"
"No."
Nico Robin shook her head, laughing, "I am rely interested in the Poneglyphs, whoever can show the truth of history..."
"Then hurry up!"
Crocodile suddenly struggled out of the water, gritting his teeth, "I can’t wait any longer, we must start the plan soon! I want to know Pluto’s intelligence, then kill all these bastards!"
"Okay."
Nico Robin nodded and continued, "However, our advanced agents are being frantically hunted by a bounty hunter nad Kakuzu...
Along our journey to Rainy Land, the Mr. 1 and Mr. 3 teams have gone missing, Mr. 2 has been captured by the Navy, and in addition to the previous killings of Mr. 5 and Mr. 4 teams..."
"Then get another batch!"
After speaking, Crocodile changed his mind: "Wait, how many people are left in Baroque Works now?"
"Sasori, Deidara..."
Nico Robin checked the headcount and then paused for a second in silence before continuing, "Only two advanced agents remain, there are still quite a few interdiate agents."
At this point, Nico Robin quickly added, "Among them, there is one nad Uehara Naraku who followed all the way. I found him to be a rather loyal person.
Hmm, his strength may not be enough, but his bounty has risen to 60 million Belly due to the work of the company, perhaps he could be considered for promotion to an advanced agent..."
"Alright!"
Crocodile spoke with a gloomy face, instructing, "To prevent soone like Hoshigaki Kisa from infiltrating again, don’t hire any more people for now, keep things as they are!"
"..."
Nico Robin nodded.
If Crocodile refused Uehara Naraku’s promotion to an advanced agent again, Nico Robin would think Crocodile was too comfortable...
Fortunately, he is still salvageable.
Who knows if Uehara Naraku would be happy to hear this news.
Uehara Naraku was too busy to care about Nico Robin, as he rushed back from visiting a bunch of scenic spots, preparing to deal with the eting with Vice Admiral Drake.
When Vice Admiral Drake saw Uehara Naraku, he happened to see Uehara Naraku rescuing a kid being hunted by pirates, a scene that felt very familiar to him.
Because back in the day, when Drake was hunted by the Donquixote Family, he was rescued by the Navy, which led to the Drake he is today.
Vice Admiral Drake looked at this scene and felt a sense of empathy.
Vice Admiral Drake silently watched Uehara Naraku comfort the kid with a candy, his sharp gaze gradually softened.
As a Fruit Power user of the Dragon-Dragon Fruit·Ancient·Allosaurus Form, usually fierce on the battlefield, Vice Admiral Drake’s mood at this mont turned unexpectedly gentle.
"Kabuto."
Vice Admiral Drake’s eyes remained fixated on Uehara Naraku, "Do you see that? The Navy is the perfect ho for Uehara Naraku..."
"Yes..."
Navy Major Yakushi Kabuto adjusted his glasses, smiling, "I share your opinion, I believe the sa."
