Chapter 229
At this time, the Moby Dick was moored at sea.
The pirates who were resting on the deck are playing cards and chatting, among them, a division captain with strong observation haki, had a sudden change in his expression after looking up at the sky.
As he see an envelope, which suddenly appeared out of thin air from a space crack slowly fell to the deck of the Moby Dick.
Looking at the envelopes that appeared in this way, the Whitebeard Pirates were not surprised but none of them dared to pick up this envelope.
Finally, Marco who is basically not afraid of anything except sea stone and seawater after eating Bird-Bird Fruit, Model Phoniex, walked over and picked up the envelope that fell on the deck.
When he opened the envelope and saw the content inside, he turned around and said to the whitebeard who was drinking not far away.
"Pops, it's a greeting from the flying Pirates..."
After he finished speaking, Marco's eyes, which were always half-open couldn't help but flash bright light as he speak with a serious face. "That crack is undoubtedly a space-type ability."
"I didn't expect that in addition to The World Worst Devil Fruit Users, the flying Pirates actually has such devil fruit user, that kid's luck is not ordinary, how did he get the Float-Float Fruit after Shiki's death, Munch-Munch Fruit, and Rumble-Rumble Fruit which belongs to the top of their kind?"
"Gu ha ha ha ha!... That little kid is like the darlings of this world." Whitebeard laughed indifferently, then took the envelope from Marco, and the corner of his mouth with a white crescent beard raised slightly. "That little kid has quite a bit of courage, I thought he was not afraid of anything and he will come here alone."
"Pops, you think too much."
Marco didn't give his father any face as he complained. "That kid is not even afraid of the remnants of the Roger Pirates, as directly beat Silvers Rayleigh to the point of death, and then annihilate the red-haired pirate and kill Shanks who came for revenge. That kid is not even afraid of the pressure from all Major forces in the world and even Mary Geoise doesn't dare to use Buster Call on him as he uses his devil fruit ability unscrupulously."
"In terms of courage, there is probably no one in this world who can compare to that little kid."
"I think the reason why it took him so long to send the invitation. It should be that he has been busy with his City in the sky that has caused a sensation all over the world."
If it came from someone else's mouth, even if Whitebeard didn't care, the other division captain would reprimand him, but these words came from their 1st Division captain, so not only they are not angry, but they nodded their heads in unison.
"Gu ha ha ha ha!" Even Whitebeard agreed with Marco's words and he took this opportunity to laugh while patting Marco on the shoulder, his
huge palm, as well as the power contained in the palm, made Marco's expression bitter.
Look, he's just telling the truth, not purposely beating his Pop's face, so to prevent his Pops from beating him continuously, Marco hurriedly shouted to his brothers and sisters around him. "Get ready to meet the Flying pirates captain as the other party will arrive at the Moby Dick in the afternoon."
Although the four emperors are all hostile to each other however before their face is completely torn apart, they still need to show courtesy to each other.
Just like last year's confrontation on Fishman Island, El and Whitebeard are fighting each other on the Den Mushi Mushi.
These are the rules of the game in the high-end game of the pirate world, so Marco couldn't guarantee that his pops would fight with El in the end.
However, as the captain of the First Division of the Whitebeard Pirates, Marco, who is no different from the vice-captain, must do a good job of showing respect and hosting a banquet to entertain the Flying Pirates and Lord of the Sky, El.
as time goes by, it soon reaches the afternoon.
"Hey... what is that?"
"What a big shadow, won't it be the king of birds at the sea king level?"
"No, that's... an island!"
"That island is floating in the air, it's lord of the sky devil fruit ability!"
"Captain, Marco, the flying pirates are here."
Like the unpredictable weather on the grand line, the sea which was quite vibrant as the sun shines brightly suddenly became gloomy as a huge shadow hangs over part of the sea and Moby Dick is in this shadow.
So, the members of the Whitebeard Pirates who look at the sky subconsciously saw that above the clouds, a huge black shadow appeared while moving at slow speed.
After a while, this huge black shadow penetrated the clouds and appeared in the eyes of the Whitebeard Pirates.
The appearance of such a large floating island, also means that the flying Pirates and the Lord of the Sky, El are here.
Some pirates with low psychological quality broke a cold sweat on their forehead with some having a horrified look on their faces.
The floating island, which belongs to the level of a medium-sized island, descended from the sky less than a thousand meters away from the Moby Dick, before stopping slowly.
"Zehahahahahaha!" On the stern of the Moby Dick, a pirate suddenly let out a unique laugh while looking at the large floating island where nothing but the bottom of the island could be seen, Marshall D. Teach, who has not yet called himself Blackbeard, his eyes was full of greed.
Two years ago, the most powerful devil fruit in Teach's mind was undoubtedly the Quake-Quake Fruit that his Pops have.
The power that can destroy the world, it's Teach dreams to also have it, but since last year, his thoughts gradually changed.
It turns out there are other Paramecia devil fruits that are not only inferior to his Pops devil fruit, it even has an aerial advantage that his Pops doesn't have, just like Kaido's devil fruit that can fight in the sea, land, and air.
That devil fruit is the Float-Float Fruit that Shiki from the previous era has. As a veteran member of the Whitebeard Pirates, Teach has also seen the power of the Float-Float Fruit, however, Shiki's physique and thought completely waste the strategic deterrence of the Float-Float Fruit, which leads to his evaluation of this devil fruit to be not good as the Quake-Quake Fruit.
However, after Shiki's death, the new user of the Float-Float fruit used his strong physique and creative mind to use this devil fruit better.
At the same time, 99.99% of the people in the world can't do anything about aerial superiority, letting Teach idea of the Quake-Quake Fruit as the strongest devil fruit to be greatly shaken.
If the Devil Fruit he dreamed of appeared at the same time in front of him, Teach might hesitate on what he would choose, the Quake-Quake Fruit or the Float-Float Fruit?
