Chapter 139: Encounter
Kuri Daimyo Castle in Wano Country.
"What! Oden-sama is missing!? The Whitebeard Pirates docked at Date Port have also set sail!!!?"
Everyone who had returned from training in the Flower City suddenly felt something bad when they heard the news that Oden had disappeared, as well as the Moby Dick and the Whitebeard Pirates who had disappeared from Kuri Beach.
"Brother Yizang is also missing, and even the cats and dogs are missing."
Kikuchi Cheng burst into tears because of worry. After all, he and Izo have always been dependent on each other.
"Before considering the worst case scenario, let's search across the country first. We can only pray now that Whitebeard's gang of bastards didn't take Lord Oden out to sea with him!"
Denjiro, who was the smartest among the people, was the first to speak. At the same time, he always felt that something was wrong, but he didn't have the slightest clue.
"Dad! Is that guy really okay!? He shouldn't have died in the sea, right?" On the deck, Marco, squatting on the side of the ship, looked at Oden, who was holding on to the chain and riding the waves in the sea, and couldn't help but turn to Bai Bai.
Beard asked.
At this time, Oden had been soaking in the sea for almost half the night. He was even bruised and swollen because he had crossed a reef before. At first glance, he thought it was some precious sea beast.
"Don't worry, Marco will inform everyone to prepare for a banquet. After all, we are setting sail again!"
Whitebeard held a naginata and took a sip from the bottle, then said to Marco without even looking at Kozuki Oden behind the boat.
"Hey, Whitebeard, you guys, hurry up and pull Lord Oden up, otherwise he will die!!! That Lord will shoulder the expectations of countless people in Wano Country in the future!"
The tied up Izo looked at the bruised Oden at the stern of the boat and roared angrily at Whitebeard. In his opinion, this was a humiliation to Oden and a humiliation to the entire Wano Country!
"Goo la la la!"
Whitebeard burst out laughing when he heard Yi Zang's words, then squatted down, looked at the tied up Yi Zang and spoke seriously.
"Boy, have you seen how many times I refused him to get on the boat? But even so, the guy still desperately tried to find a way to go to sea. In this case, he must follow the rules of the sea. Since he chose the sea, there is nothing here.
Great name!!!
I will not let such a dangerous guy board the ship casually and threaten the safety of our family. If you can persuade him to give up, then go ahead. After all, it is not too far to leave Wano Country at this time. With Oden's strength, you
There is no big problem in returning to Wano safely.
But it’s limited to three days!”
Then Whitebeard came to the stern of the ship and looked at Oden who was desperately insisting in the sea and said: "Listen Oden! As long as you keep holding on to the chain within three days and don't let go, then I will allow you to board the ship and become our family.
!”
Gululu, plop, plop, plop!
"Haha! What a gentleman says!"
After taking a deep breath, Oden shouted loudly.
"Of course it's a quick whip."
Whitebeard also responded loudly, obviously Oden's desperate spirit of going out to sea to find it moved him, and he was willing to give him a chance.
"Dad, a fleet was spotted on the left chord!!!"
In the violent storm, just as everyone was looking at Oden who had been struggling to hold on in the sea, suddenly the shouts of the observers came from the Moby Dick observation deck.
After hearing the sound, everyone in the Whitebeard Pirates group looked towards the left side of the ship.
For them, encountering unfamiliar ships in the new world is likely to be their enemies.
"Captain, we found a pirate ship on the right side."
"Open the cannon! Get ready to fight!" When fighting at sea, the moisture-proofing of gunpowder is the most important thing, and it is very easy for water to enter the muzzle. Coupled with the heavy rain, so it is always covered with oil paper cloth to prevent moisture when needed.
When fighting, open it again and prepare for fighting.
The lookout was always paying attention to the big ship in front. As the distance increased, the image of the big ship in the distance became clearer and clearer. Then as the telescope moved, the lookout also saw the Moby Dick hanging on the Moby Dick amid lightning and thunder.
The Whitebeard pirate flag and Whitebeard and others on the ship.
"It's Whitebeard!!!"
With the lookout's horrified shout, everyone on the ship immediately entered the highest alert state. After all, there really is an existence on the sea of the New World whose name alone is enough to frighten the heroes, and Whitebeard has no hair.
Undoubtedly one of them.
Although their fleet is all medium-sized ships, they are quite powerful in terms of firepower. Each ship has at least more than 30 cannons and hundreds of crew members. They are worthy of the average pirate group.
But if the opponent is Whitebeard, they won't have any luck. That is a monster that can destroy an entire fleet with just one person.
"Inform the fleet and turn to avoid them. Our goal this time is to deliver the goods and not conflict with the other party! If we cannot deliver the goods on time, the consequences of irritating him will be that we will face the Whitebeard Pirates.
The outcome of the battle is no different!"
Following the captain's words, the entire fleet quickly changed its formation and sailed towards the distance.
"Dad! The other side has turned!" The lookout on the mast shouted loudly to the members of the Whitebeard Pirates on the deck.
"Want to catch up? Dad?"
Marco looked at Whitebeard and asked, for them, what kind of pirates are they if they don't plunder the ships they encounter on the sea?
"Forget it, since the other party has avoided it, let's sail in the planned direction!"
Whitebeard said directly.
Accompanied by a violent storm, the two teams passed each other.
...
In the Daimyo Castle in Kuri.
"How is it? Still no news about Lord Oden and Izo?"
Kanjuro asked anxiously.
"There is no news yet. I have asked the Lords of the Kang family of Baiwu, the boss of Hao Jianbao Goro, and the lords of Suzugo, Tuwan and other places to help keep an eye on it."
Denjiro looked at everyone and said.
"I also asked the younger ones to conduct a blanket search in Kuri. If Lord Oden is still in Kuri, there should be news soon."
As the overlord of Jiuli, Asura Boy, who once gathered a large number of followers, he can be said to be a real local snake in Jiuli.
"We can't wait any longer. You stay in Wano Country, and I'll find a way to take a boat out to sea to chase the Whitebeard Pirates. If Oden-sama is on Whitebeard's ship, I will definitely bring Oden-sama back intact!"
After saying this, Kinemon planned to go out on a boat to go to sea.
But before he could even take a step, Denjiro grabbed him by the back collar.
"Aren't you a messy guy enough? What are you going to do to go out to sea? Haven't you heard from Whitebeard and his gang that the sea outside is countless times more dangerous than the sea surrounding Wano Country? Pirate ships as big as Whitebeard and the others are even more dangerous.
You suffered a shipwreck, do you expect to recover Oden-sama by relying on a small sampan!?"
"Then what do you think we should do!?"
Kin'emon was also a little annoyed and swept Denjiro's hand away, and asked angrily.
"First find Oden-sama, and then take care of everything in Kuri. There must be no problems in Kuri before Oden-sama returns. Also, pay attention to the Flower Capital!? And all kinds of things happening in Wano Country."
A sharp look flashed under Denjiro's glasses.
"???"
Denjiro's words made everyone present a little puzzled.
"I always feel that someone in Wano is planning something secretly! Anyway, it's better to be careful!"
Chapter completed!
