Chapter 498 How should I say this?
"Is it the group of brats who defeated Shiki?" Whitebeard was familiar with Zhang Tatsuya's name. "Is it called the Amber Travel Group?"
"That's right. Speaking of the kindness that Mr. Tatsuya and the others have shown to Otohime and Shirahoshi, I still don't know how to repay them." Although Neptune gave them gold and ships, he still felt that he had done nothing and still owed them a favor.
After all, money and other things are worthless in Neptune's eyes. He is the kind of person who can give away an entire treasury without any hesitation.
"Is Brother Tatsuya coming? And Mr. Tom the cat!" Shirahoshi was very happy. She still remembered that the story Brother Tatsuya told her last time had no ending. Mr. Tom would take her around and make a lot of food for her.
"Isn't the Amber Travel Group a bounty hunter group that has been very active recently?" Captain Bramanc of the 6th Division was a little concerned. He heard that Zhang Da also had the ability similar to his 'Bag-Bag Fruit'.
Diamond Joz, the captain of Division 3, smiled and bumped his fists together. "Isn't he coming for us?"
"Hee~, that would be very interesting. I'm very interested in the swordsman who can rival the world's greatest swordsman." 5th Division Captain Flower Sword Vista pinched his curly mustache. He was actually very interested in Hawkeye as well, but the opportunity to fight him was rare. I heard Hawkeye was active in the New World recently, but unfortunately I never met him.
Seeing the captains rubbing their hands together, as if ready to fight, Jinbei quickly stood up and tried to dissuade them:
"Please don't misunderstand, Tatsuya-san and his men wouldn't start a fight without cause. They're just traveling, and this time to Fish-man Island is probably no different. I heard that Tatsuya-san's team has a lot of new members. They must have never been to Fish-man Island before, so they came here out of curiosity!"
"Don't be so nervous, Jinbei." Marco patted Jinbei on the back. "We have no ill intentions. We'll know whether we're enemies or friends after we go see for ourselves."
…
Near the entrance to Fishman Island.
Originally, Zhang Da also heard that Whitebeard's plan after being here was to keep out of other people's way. He knew that Whitebeard was a friend and protector of Fishman Island. He himself had no grudge against Whitebeard, so there was no need to cause trouble.
But plans cannot keep up with changes. After listening to the two guards' story about the Whitebeard Pirates, Perona's face turned pale.
Through the Negative Ghost she had sent out to scout the area, she saw what looked like pirates moving things on the shore, while the nearby residents seemed hesitant to approach. Perona assumed they were pirates robbing them, so... she sent the Negative Ghost over to them.
After hearing the guard's introduction, I realized that they were members of the Whitebeard Pirates. They had just defeated a group of troublemakers, and the things they were moving were spoils of war. Moreover, some of the things they had stolen on Fishman Island had to be returned.
Having gotten into big trouble, Perona looked at Zhang Daye pitifully and apologized to him in a crying voice.
"Although it was a bit reckless, I can't blame you." Zhang Da also comforted him, "It's no big deal. If we are in the wrong, we should apologize. If you don't accept it, we can fight."
"But...but, that's the Whitebeard Pirates, the strongest pirate group in the world..." Perona was very insecure. If anyone got hurt this time, it would all be her fault.
"A few days ago, you guys teamed up with Tom and stole the senbei of the Navy hero in front of the Navy Admiral and the Navy Chief of Staff. Why weren't you afraid then?"
Zhang Daye's words made Vivi and Wendy blush. They also participated in it and shared the spoils. Now thinking about it, it was so childish.
Only Tom looked proud. Judging from his master's tone, what we did was an amazing thing, right? I wonder if Whitebeard will eat the senbei. Meow, go grab it from him!
"At that time... I didn't think about these things at that time..." Perona also felt embarrassed. Those old grandfathers and grandmothers were all very nice people, and Garp's personality was like that of a child. It was really hard for people to regard them as important people.
"Let's go and take a look first. The worst result is that we can't win and have to run away. It's not a big problem." Zhang Da also signaled everyone to sail to the shore.
The two guards looked unhappy. Why did they seem to be about to fight? They looked at each other and decided that one of them would contact Longgong City while the other would go over to help explain.
Coral Hill is the location of the island's larger port town. Many people who come to Fishman Island will land here, and Zhang Daye and his friends are no exception.
A huge ship that looks like a white whale is docked in the most conspicuous place on the shore, with a skull flag with a white crescent-shaped beard fluttering in the wind on the mast.
Obviously, this is the Whitebeard Pirates' main ship, the Moby Dick.
At this time, the atmosphere on the coast was obviously not very friendly.
This is understandable. No one would be in a good mood if they were suddenly forced to kneel down and say some embarrassing words while counting the spoils after a victory.
Of course, except for those who like to have fun.
"'Ah~ My existence is completely meaningless. In my next life, let me become a strand of Daddy's beard~' Hahahaha! What a great ideal, hahahaha!"
Someone imitated his best friend's words vividly, and the laughter could almost be heard from the coast to the town.
"Everyone...everyone says it's a devil fruit ability!" The victim's face flushed. "Someone must be hiding in the dark and attacking me quietly. Help me find them!"
There were over thirty people who had been infected , and nearly a hundred people were helping to search for the culprit on the shore. Of course, these weren't the entire Whitebeard Pirates' force; in fact, the sixteen divisions combined numbered over a thousand, but most of them had gone to various places on Fishman Island to have fun and drink.
When this happened, the first thing the people present did was to torture the pirates they had just defeated, but they found nothing.
Come to think of it, if the other side had such a tricky person with special abilities, they wouldn't have won so easily without the captain present.
Among the more than one hundred pirates, there were a few who valued intelligence and made a guess based on what had just happened: "That ability looks a bit like that of 'Princess Mononoke'."
"What Princess Mononoke?"
"A pink-haired little girl from the Amber Tour Group, the same Amber Tour Group that caused such a commotion in the East China Sea and Paradise."
"It's them! Are you sure?"
"I wasn't sure just now, but now I'm sure...that should be their ship."
"Do they have the guts to target our Whitebeard Pirates?" A pirate who had just suffered a loss drew his sword. "Looks like we need to teach them a lesson, especially that special ability user!"
"You go if you want to go, I'm not going anyway." Someone rejected his suggestion, "It's embarrassing for over a hundred people to settle accounts with a little girl."
“…Is that the end of it then?”
"Anyway, let's first figure out their purpose. If they're really trying to provoke Dad , we can't do anything about it."
So, as soon as Zhang Daye and his companions got ashore, they were surrounded by more than a hundred pirates.
Zhang Daye and the others were on guard, but none of them spoke. Instead, they waited for the other party to speak.
But none of the pirates spoke. They didn't know . Should they just say, "Thirty of us suddenly knelt down. Did you do this?"
Isn’t this a bit outrageous?
