Chapter 438 - The Whitebeard Pirates and the Spades Pirates Go to War!
Alabasta, Rainbase.
Marine was searching the entire Rainbase and capturing the remaining members of the Baroque Works. No matter how small the minions were, they would all be captured.
Rear Admiral Drake hung up the Den Den Moshi in his hand and looked at the Admiral standing beside him. He reported softly, “Admiral Aokiji, we have not lost the trace of Devil Child Nico Robin. But Lieutenant Commander Uehara has been lurking around her.”
After that, Rear Admiral Drake continued, “According to the information provided by Lieutenant Commander Uehara, Crocodile will also go with Nico Robin and enter the second half of the Grand Line.”
“Well, Okay. Give me back Buster Call’s Den Den Mushi!”
Aokiji took the golden Den Mushi from Drake, got on his bicycle, and waved casually, “Then I’ll leave the rest to you!”
The battle against a Shichibukai and Baroque Works felt like it had come to an end.
Crocodile finally arrived at the port.
When he was in his worst state, Nico Robin extended a helping hand and took him to a ship full of orange trees. The ship immediately set sail and left Alabasta.
Three people stood on the ship’s bow, watching them gradually leave the desert kingdom. Kisame and others who were standing on the port watch them leave.
Crocodile clenched his fist with a gloomy face and whispered, “Nico Robin, you really found a group of good helpers. A total of four people were recruited, and three of them were traitors!”
“Who knew that these people hid so deep…”
Nico Robin smiled and whispered, “This time, we should have been plotted against by Kisame, but we can’t just let it go!
This country has a historical text. When the marine no longer pays attention to us… We will come back at that time!”
“Yes.”
Crocodile nodded slowly. His eyes fell on Nico Robin and Uehara, “Let’s go. Set sail to the new world! Let me see the monsters in the new world again!”
“Yes, captain.”
Nico Robin smiled and nodded.
She continued, “Then do we need to recruit some crew members?”
The captain’s t.i.tle made Crocodile’s expression freeze. He seemed to have never heard this name before because he had always been sailing by himself.
This t.i.tle seemed to be a responsibility.
Crocodile’s expression eased a lot. He looked at Uehara and asked, “Hey, Uehara, what are you good at?”
“He is a qualified ship doctor!”
A smile appeared on the corners of Nico Robin’s mouth as she replied on behalf of Uehara, “Mr. Uehara’s family lineage has some kind of magical ability that can quickly heal the wounds on the wounded.”
“…”
Uehara seemed to be a little shy to admit it, but he still went forward to help Crocodile heal his wound with Astral Infusion.
At this moment, Crocodile felt that his physical strength was suddenly abundant, and he suddenly had the urge to go back to Alabasta and fight for a few more rounds!
“What kind of ability is this?”
“Eh? It’s a type of exchange!”
Uehara rubbed his palm and weakly said, “I will use my own strength to treat you. After using it once, I will become weak all day. Last time, when I was helping a villager treat his injuries, Miss Robin discovered this secret…”
“Okay.”
Crocodile nodded slowly and whispered, “Don’t waste this ability on the weak in the future.”
This ship doctor was a little reliable.
This ship doctor was definitely a target to protect. He could return to the battlefield after being seriously injured as long as he had this ship doctor.
Crocodile’s eyes slowly wandered and fell on Nico Robin, “Nico Robin? You can’t only read history, can you?”
“I can help you grind coffee…”
Nico Robin’s smile was very warm.
“It’s really useless…”
Crocodile took a cigar in his mouth and said coldly, “Forget it. Anyway, I can do other things myself, so let’s go directly to Sabaody! After the coating, we can enter the new world directly!”
Crocodile himself was also a genius.
Whether it was navigating, cooking, fighting, or even shipwright, Crocodile seemed to be able to do it. No wonder he never wanted partners.
Obviously, everything was something he can do alone? Why should he keep other people in vain?
Unless he was an indispensable talent.
For example, Nico Robin and Uehara now.
Nico Robin was the only person in the sea who could read the historical text, and Uehara had excellent healing ability.
Just as their ship was rushing to Sabaody, the whole sea also changed because of Shichibukai’s change, and a new wanted poster was issued.
Former Shichibukai, Desert King Crocodile, 830 million Beli.
Devil Child, Nico Robin, 290 million Beli.
Baroque Works Senior Agent, Uehara Naraku, 85 million Beli.
Former Baroque Works Senior Agent, Explosive Artist, Deidara, 110 million Beli.
Former Baroque Works Senior Agent, Puppet Artist, Sasori, 80 million Beli.
In addition, Kisame’s bounty was abolished.
The World Government announced the abolition of Crocodile and Jinbe Shichibukai positions and directly announced the new Shichibukai candidate.
Kakuzu and Kisame became the new Shichibukai.
Kakuzu was very famous. He was the most famous bounty hunter on the sea now, which made many pirates change their faces.
Kisame was also a pirate who suddenly jumped to a supernova this year.
If not for the high bounty of Portgas D. Ace and Sasuke, Kisame would have been the strongest supernova this year.
With the support of the World Government, Kisame resolutely removed the remnants of the Sun Pirates and announced that he had taken over the entire Fishman Island.
This was because Fishman Island was Whitebeard’s territory.
This matter was also regarded as World Government’s provocation towards Whitebeard.
Just as everyone was waiting for the response of the Whitebeard pirates, a piece of news that shook the whole sea came from the new world.
The Whitebeard pirates and Spade Pirates were at war!
In the second half of the Grand Line, on a small island in the Whitebeard territory.
While Spade Pirates was resting on the sh.o.r.e, a huge ship stopped on the island, and a tall figure appeared on the ship’s bow with a Naginata in his hand.
In an instant, a surging wave of oppression swept across the entire island!
Haoshoku Haki(Conqueror’s Haki)!
This Haoshoku Haki(Conqueror’s Haki) was so powerful that no one could resist it. Except for Sasuke and Ace, the other Spade Pirate crew members all fainted from the impact of this Haki!
Even Ace was on the verge of collapse!
“This is… Pops is here!”
The captives of Spade Pirates, Jinbe, who was tied up by them, showed a touch of worry on his face, “Why is pops here at this time?”
“Is this Whitebeard?”
Sasuke slowly ate the skewers in his hand and took out a tissue to wipe the corner of his mouth. He slowly picked up the sword beside him.
Sasuke supported Ace’s body and said casually, “Ace, wait for me here for a while. I will be back soon…”
“Wait…”
Ace grabbed Sasuke’s arm and stopped him. This man revealed a stubborn expression and said, “Sasuke, this is a battle that belongs to me. That guy is an existence I must challenge no matter what!”
“…”
Sasuke fell silent.
After a long time, Sasuke sat down again and calmly said, “I know, then go! Whether you win or lose, you will always be my captain.”
“Don’t worry!”
Ace smiled, “Even if it is just for the best vice-captain in the world, I will not lose to that guy!”
After saying that, Ace went to the coast without hesitation.
Whitebeard Edward Newgate stood on the bow of the Moby d.i.c.k. He held the Naginata in his hand and grinned, “Gurararara… Let me see who the person who wants to take my head is!”
“Portgas D. Ace!”
A flame accompanied Ace’s voice swept towards the Moby d.i.c.k!
Marco, who was beside Whitebeard, rolled his dead fish eyes and looked at the flame. He couldn’t help but ask, “You want to challenge pops with this little strength?”
In the next moment, a pair of light blue wings suddenly spread out from Marco’s body, and he was about to block the incoming flames!
This was the ability of Mythical Zoan-type Devil Fruit – Tori Tori no Mi Moderu: Fenikkusu(Bird-Bird Fruit Model: Phoenix), which Marco ate, was an existence even rarer than Logia-type Devil Fruit!
Unexpectedly, Marco was sent flying with a single slash in the next moment!
Sasuke slowly withdrew his ninja sword, and his voice spread throughout the entire coast, “Hey, even I didn’t interfere with Ace’s battle. What qualifications do you have?”
“Gurararara…”
The smile on Whitebeard’s face couldn’t help but deepen. He swept away the flames coming at him and laughed loudly, “Then satisfy them. No one should interfere. This is a battle between captains!”
“… Pops!”
Vista of the Flower Swords hurriedly opened his mouth to stop him.
However, after Whitebeard shook his head, he held his Naginata and jumped to the sh.o.r.e. He looked at Ace in front of him and said with a smile, “Kid, you really found a good vice captain!”
“Yes!”
Ace wiped the sweat off his face and said, “Even if it is just for Sasuke, I will never lose to you!”
“Gurararara… Then let me see your ability!”
Whitebeard grinned and walked towards Ace step by step. With one punch, he knocked down the captain of Spade Pirates to the ground!
It was really…
Anticlimactic.
Even if Ace stood up firmly again, he was still easily knocked to the ground by Whitebeard, as if he was an adult hitting a child.
The disparity in this battle was too great.
When the battle between the captain of Whitebeard pirate and Spade Pirates began, some of the Whitebeard pirate crew members quietly landed on the sh.o.r.e and surrounded Sasuke.
These people wanted to save Jinbe.
Vista holding his two swords, looked at Sasuke and said, “Kid, you have a Supreme Great Sword, Kusanagi, right? Then let’s have a duel between Swordsmen!”
“…”
Sasuke was silent for a second.
The next second, a sneer appeared on Sasuke’s lips. He looked at Ace, who Whitebeard beat up in the distance, and then at Vista in front of him!
“Okay.”
Sasuke’s smile suddenly became awe-inspiring. A surging imposing aura was emitted from his body, and a purple-colored Susanoo enveloped his body!
The complete body Susanoo which was several hundred meters tall, suddenly appeared!
Controlling Susanoo, Sasuke suddenly pulled out the huge ninja sword in its hand. Then with a slash, he sent Vista and everyone around him flying!
