Marco felt that he was not mistaken.
The silhouette of the large ship ahead was too similar to the Moby Dick, as if it was carved out of the same mold.
However, upon closer inspection, there were some slight differences, as if this ship was a bit larger than their Whitebeard Pirate Crew's Moby Dick.
"This is..."
Marco's face was full of disbelief, the sudden appearance of the Moby Dick made him somewhat unable to understand.
This ship, wasn't it already buried in the Summit War?
He clearly remembered that at that time, the Moby Dick was bathed in the flames of magma, and eventually turned into wreckage and ashes.
"Marco, what's wrong?"
Vista came over from behind Marco, and he also looked in the direction Marco was looking at.
The next second, Vista also stood still on the spot, he exclaimed incredulously, "Moby Dick?!"
This voice attracted everyone.
One after another, the division commanders gathered together, they all looked ahead.
Their expressions were all the same.
Their reactions were very consistent.
"How is this possible?!" The ninth division commander of the Whitebeard Pirate Crew, "Blenheim", had his eyes wide open, "This... isn't this our ship? How could our ship appear here, how could it be in the Whole Cake Island?"
The fourteenth division commander "Speed Jiru" was more careful, he also noticed something wrong like Marco, "It doesn't seem to be our Moby Dick, it's bigger than Moby Dick."
The seventh division commander "Rakuyo" said in a deep voice, "Could it be that someone has copied our Moby Dick? Should we try to take this ship?"
"Idiot! We are Whitebeard Pirate Crew, are not bandits, if we want this ship, we at least have to communicate with them properly, see if we can buy it with money, right?"
"If this ship is a copy of the Big Mom Pirate Crew, then it wouldn't be too much for us to take it, right?"
"It seems so..."
Listening to the discussions of this group of people, Marco helplessly held his forehead, "Can't you guys think, what if... this ship has something to do with 'Pops'?"
His words silenced all the division commanders.
That's right!
The image of the long-gone Pops suddenly appeared in the Whole Cake Island, and the Moby Dick, which had been burned down, suddenly appeared.
Between these two, if there is no connection, they would not believe it even if they were killed.
"Marco, take a look at the other ship, does it look familiar?" The sixth division commander "Blamenco" said.
Marco put his gaze on another pirate ship. Indeed. This ship also looked familiar!
"This is... the main ship of the Big Mom Pirate Crew, the 'Queen Mama Chanter'!!!" Marco suddenly reacted and said a rather quirky ship name.
This means that there might be senior executives of the Big Mom Pirate Crew on this ship, and even the Four Emperors Big Mom!
But wasn't Big Mom already defeated by the "Pops" in the live broadcast?
"Be careful! Notify the captains below, be ready to fight at any time!"
Marco ordered, "Extinguish all the lights and bonfires on the ship, and slowly approach that side!"
"Yes! Captain Marco!!!" A group of pirates on the ship hurriedly responded.
Just like that...
Not far behind the Moby Dick and the Queen Mama Chanter.
A fleet is quietly approaching.
...
"Gurararararara!"
On the Moby Dick, Whitebeard was holding a bowl of strong liquor, pouring it into his mouth.
The strong spicy sensation of the liquor, and the rich and mellow aroma made his smile even brighter: "The wine on the sea is more to my taste!"
This wine was brought over from the Queen Mama Chanter of the Big Mom Pirates by Whitebeard.
For Whitebeard's act of strong robbery, a group of people on the Big Mom Pirates' ship could only dare to be angry but not speak out.
Who made them have two hostages in Whitebeard's hands?
"Pops seems really happy! It's the first time I've seen Pops drink so much."
Naruto held a glass of juice, sipping it through a straw while mumbling unclearly: "I'm a bit curious about what the people of Whitebeard's Pirates in this world look like..."
Sasuke stood next to Naruto, also holding a glass of juice.
They, as kids, could only drink juice, Whitebeard didn't allow them to touch alcohol.
In Whitebeard's words...
Drinking at a young age, what if you get old and have all kinds of hidden diseases like this old man?
This kind of talk made Naruto and others unable to retort.
If Pops is also called an old man...
Then are there still people in this world who dare to call themselves young and strong?
Sasuke took a sip of juice.
One hand rested on the railing of the ship, enjoying the sea breeze, and the other casually smoothed his wind-blown hair.
He looked at the dark sea in the distance and said, "I think they should all look quite peculiar, just like the people of the Big Mom Pirates."
"But no matter what they look like, their hearts must be the same as ours. After all, anyone who can be seen by Pops must be good."
Just as Sasuke was about to say something, he suddenly noticed something wrong in the distance.
"Hmm?" Sasuke's eyes showed a hint of surprise, he asked in confusion: "Dumb Naruto, do you smell a strange sweat smell?"
Naruto was stunned, sweat smell?
He first sniffed his own armpit, then leaned over to sniff Sasuke.
As a result, he was pushed away by Sasuke with a disgusted face.
"No!" Naruto scratched his head and replied.
"Idiot! I'm not asking you about our bodies!" Sasuke retorted with a black face: "I'm asking you if the sea breeze that just blew over has a strange smell! Like the smell of sweat!"
"Besides..." Sasuke added: "I don't have body odor! If there's a smell, it's you, why are you smelling me?"
Naruto laughed awkwardly and selectively ignored Sasuke's retort.
Then he sniffed the air carefully.
"Hisss! Indeed!" Naruto muttered: "It's like the smell of an uncle in a bathhouse, who has just steamed his body in a sweat room and hasn't had time to take a bath!"
Naruto guessed: "Maybe it's the people of the Big Mom Pirates?"
Sasuke shook his head: "The sea breeze is not blowing from their side."
Sasuke suddenly startled, he hurriedly said: "There are people on the sea ahead! And a lot of them!"
The two looked at each other immediately.
Just as they were about to go and notify others of the situation, Naruto's Observation Haki suddenly caught an anomaly.
Before he could react, a strange blue flame flashed in front of his eyes.
The next moment, Naruto found his shoulder being grabbed.
Sasuke was the same.
Naruto and Sasuke, both of their expressions froze at the same time.
"Shh! Little friends, don't speak loudly, or it will alarm others, it will be troublesome! Um... can I ask you a few questions?!"
A rather polite voice sounded from behind the two.
Naruto and Sasuke hurriedly turned around and saw a pineapple head standing behind them.
Their hearts tightened. Because the other party's speed was just too fast!
They didn't even react before they were caught!
"May I ask, who built this ship?"
Marco politely asked this question.
Yes, the person who suddenly appeared on the Moby Dick was indeed Marco!
The sweat that Naruto and Sasuke had just smelled was not Marco's body odor, but the smell of a group of pirates from the Whitebeard Pirates' large fleet behind him!
After all, most pirates don't pay much attention to personal hygiene.
That strange smell was very pungent.
"Do you want to know?" Sasuke quickly calmed down, he responded in a low voice: "If you bring your ear over, I'll tell you."
Marco squinted and smiled: "Okay!"
He actually really brought his ear over.
"Hmph! You've been fooled! You sneaky bastard!" Sasuke instantly pulled out a Kunai and stabbed it towards Marco's temple.
Naruto also took the opportunity to act instantly.
His action was almost identical to Sasuke's, also pulling out a Kunai.
Two Kunais, one left and one right, were respectively stabbed towards Marco's left and right temples!
Facing the attack of these two little kids, Marco did not dodge or avoid.
Puff!
Puff!
The Kunai easily entered his temples.
And in an instant, it pierced into his brain.
"Huh... It's over." Sasuke breathed a sigh of relief, this pineapple head suddenly appeared, which scared him so much that he was almost sweating cold sweat.
Sasuke found that he had been a bit slack recently.
His vigilance was so low!
"Little guy, you're quite skilled, if it's someone who doesn't have Observation Haki, or someone who doesn't have the ability of a special Devil Fruit, you might have killed them in the blink of an eye!"
Marco's voice echoed again: "I've said that I'm just here to ask you a few questions, there's no need to react so violently, is there?"
"You see... you guys are trying to kill me, but I haven't made a move on you yet, doesn't that mean I don't mean any harm?"
What?
Naruto and Sasuke were both staring at Marco in astonishment.
The two quickly jumped backwards, away from Marco, and distanced themselves from Marco.
"Sasuke, be careful!"
At this time, Matatabi inside Sasuke, reminded Sasuke: "This seems to be a man who makes me smell a dangerous aura."
Sasuke's heart sank.
A person who can make Matatabi sense danger?
"Who are you?!"
Sasuke questioned on the spot.
"And who are you?" Marco didn't answer first, but threw out another question.
Naruto honestly introduced himself: "We are the Whitebeard Pirates! I am the captain of the first division of the Whitebeard Pirates, Uzumaki Naruto!"
Sasuke cautiously said: "Whitebeard Pirates, Uchiha Sasuke!"
Marco: "???"
Huh?
Marco's calm expression on his face instantly stiffened.
His face was full of question marks, and he was completely confused.
Wait...
Hold on...
If these two little devils are from the Whitebeard Pirates, why doesn't he remember them?
There shouldn't be such small kids in the Whitebeard Pirates, right?
And, this blond little devil claims to be the captain of the first team of the Whitebeard Pirates?
What a joke!
If this little kid is the captain of the first division, then who am I, Marco?
Oh no!
I've become a substitute?
Marco's face darkened, "Hey hey hey, kid! Don't think you can impersonate me just because you have blond hair like me! Who instructed you to do this? Is it the Big Mom Pirates?"
Naruto's little face wrinkled, "Who's impersonating you, weird uncle? Are you also called Uzumaki Naruto?"
Marco's mouth twitched, it was really hard to communicate with such a brat!
Mainly because the other party was too young, he couldn't really deal with such a kid.
Marco could only explain, "I'm referring to the position of the first division captain of the Whitebeard Pirates!"
"But I am the first division captain!" Naruto muttered, "Who's impersonating you? Self-loving weird uncle!"
Marco: "???"
Marco could see that this blond kid didn't seem to be joking.
What's going on?
"Tsk tsk... It seems we have an unexpected guest on our ship! Is it someone from the Big Mom Pirates? Are you trying to sneak into the Moby Dick to rescue your captain? Is this the answer you, the Big Mom Pirates, are giving to our Pops?"
The voice of Kisame rang out, and Kisame slowly walked out from a dark corner.
Kisame was carrying his large sword, Samehada, and had it slung over his shoulder.
His gaze fell on Marco.
Marco frowned, "Don't you all recognize me? Are you guys really pirates from the New World?"
Logically speaking...
As the true first division captain of the Whitebeard Pirates in the New World, even if he's not well-known, at least his reputation should be known, right?
But that little brat could impersonate him, Marco.
Now a fishman has appeared who seems not to recognize him, Marco.
They even treated him as a member of the Big Mom Pirates!
This is ridiculous!
"Why do we need to know you?" Kakashi's voice rang out leisurely, he also noticed the movement and came over, looking at Marco with a pair of dead fish eyes, "But you're right, we're not pirates from the New World, we're from the 'Ninja World'."
Ninja World?
Never heard of it.
Marco took a deep breath, suppressing his doubts and dissatisfaction, he questioned, "Pirates from the Ninja World... why are you impersonating the Whitebeard Pirates?!"
"Hmm?" Kakashi was taken aback, "Impersonate? We are the Whitebeard Pirates, where does this impersonation come from?"
Marco was about to explode.
If you are the Whitebeard Pirates, then what is the fleet behind me?!
"Huff!"
Marco let out a sigh, his expression became serious, "I've been very polite in communicating with you, please don't challenge my patience!"
"I am the first division captain of the Whitebeard Pirates, Marco! I've never heard of a first division captain named 'Uzumaki Naruto'!"
"Don't think that just because you guys copied the Moby Dick, you can call yourselves the Whitebeard Pirates!"
Marco swore in his heart!
If these guys keep playing dumb with him.
Then he won't be polite.
"Gurararararara! If this 'New·Moby Dick' was built by me at a high cost, can it be called Moby Dick?"
"And do the sons and daughters I have taken in the Ninja World have the right to call themselves the Whitebeard Pirates?"
"Without my permission, who dares to call themselves the Whitebeard Pirates in the entire sea?"
"You silly son! Why don't you use your brain!"
"Gurararararara!"
The strong scent of alcohol in his voice made Marco's eyes gradually widen, because this voice was all too familiar.
Marco instantly turned his gaze towards the direction of the voice.
A familiar figure came into view.
At this moment.
Whitebeard, who was drunk as a lord, also maintained the last bit of his sanity. He looked at Marco with a nostalgic smile: "Foolish son, it's been a long time!"
"Po... Pops..."
Marco was stunned.
