"You should ask Whitebeard that question." In response to Vista's question, Katakuri coldly replied, "Don't block the way, I want to see Whitebeard."
Vista frowned, he clicked his tongue: "Hey hey hey, it's not so good to be so arrogant on our ship, right?"
"If I remember correctly, Big Mom has already been defeated by Pops, right? Shouldn't you be a little more humble?"
Vista's words made a vein pop on Katakuri's forehead.
These guys from the Whitebeard Pirates really know how to hit where it hurts.
"Hmph." Katakuri selectively ignored Vista, wanting to bypass him directly.
But at the moment when the two people's figures crossed.
Katakuri suddenly threw a punch to the side.
Vista also instantly crossed his two swords in front of him.
A punch covered with Armament Haki hit the blade of Vista's double swords, pushing Vista back a few steps.
A look of interest appeared on Vista's face: "You're really strong! And you can even predict my attack and strike first. Ha! As expected of the head of the Three Sweet Commanders of the Big Mom Pirates."
As soon as his words fell, Vista swung two swords through the air.
A flurry of rose petals rushed towards Katakuri.
Katakuri immediately created a mochi shield in front of him.
When the rose petals fell on the mochi shield.
The shield was instantly cut with thousands of cut marks!
"I'm not here to cause trouble." Katakuri withdrew the mochi shield expressionlessly, he knew Vista was the fifth division captain of the Whitebeard Pirates.
He also knew that Vista was a famous great swordsman in the New World.
If he fought with this guy, it would probably take a day and a night to determine the winner.
Katakuri stated his purpose: "Whitebeard requested that I must come within a day."
"Oh?" Vista raised an eyebrow.
He looked at Katakuri.
Then he put his sword back into its sheath.
Facing the head of the Three Sweet Commanders of the Big Mom Pirates, Vista apologized insincerely: "Then let's just pretend I didn't do anything just now."
After all, the Whitebeard Pirates and the Big Mom Pirates are competitors in the New World.
Although the two Four Emperors Pirates wouldn't fight to the death, there must be a lot of minor frictions usually.
So, Vista and Katakuri, their attitudes towards each other are not very friendly.
After a small interlude.
Soon...
Katakuri saw Whitebeard.
Whitebeard also saw him.
"Eh? It's that tall uncle from the Big Mom Pirates... He's really tall, almost as tall as two floors."
Naruto recognized Katakuri at a glance.
Mainly because every person in this world has a very distinctive appearance.
Even if Naruto wanted to, it would be difficult for him to ignore faces.
Sasuke said warily, "I always feel that this is a very dangerous guy, even more dangerous than that biscuit, Cracker."
"This guy is indeed very dangerous. Strictly speaking, he should be considered the vice-captain of the Big Mom Pirates." The person who suddenly spoke was Marco.
Marco speculated, "His sudden visit should be related to the previous battle between Pops and Big Mom, right?"
Naruto nodded, "Pops captured that plump, pink-haired, irritable old woman and used her as a hostage to threaten the Big Mom crew."
Naruto's explanation left Marco dumbfounded.
Huh?
Big Mom was captured by Pops?
Although he had watched Big Mom being defeated by Pops on the Den Den Mushi live broadcast.
But he felt that as one of the Four Emperors, even if she was defeated, she wouldn't be captured, right?
Especially since this is Big Mom's territory, their home field.
An Emperor was captured by another Emperor on her own turf?
Marco finally understood...
Why the main ship of the Big Mom Pirates was parked nearby.
It turns out that their captain is now on the Moby Dick!
"Isn't this guy Katakuri?" The feminine-looking Izo frowned, "What is he doing looking for Pops? And he even dared to come alone, he's really bold! Does he not take us seriously?"
Jozu scrutinized Katakuri, "Keep an eye on this guy, in case he tries to sneak attack Pops. I heard this guy is pretty powerful, he's even called the second pillar of the Big Mom Pirates."
Kakashi, with one hand in his pocket, murmured, "Has he figured out how to get the hostages back?"
All eyes were focused on Katakuri.
Some were indifferent, some were puzzled, some were thoughtful, and some were very vigilant.
And Whitebeard was sitting on a big chair with his legs spread wide.
He and Katakuri were staring at each other.
"Gurararararara, kid! Didn't Linlin teach you not to barge in and cause trouble when other pirate crews are having a celebration? Or do you, a mochi kid, want to join our banquet too? Gurararararara!"
Whitebeard's hearty laughter, with its invisible pressure, made Katakuri's heart sink.
Even when facing his rampaging mother, he didn't feel this kind of pressure. It's no wonder that Whitebeard was able to defeat Big Mom.
Katakuri took a deep breath, ignoring the stares of others, and spoke only to Whitebeard in front of him, "Whitebeard, I have made my decision."
Under the watchful eyes of all, Katakuri said something shocking, "I want to use my freedom to get my mother and Cracker back!"
No one knew how much determination it took to say this.
Katakuri clenched his fists, but his internal struggle ended in less than a second, and his fists gradually loosened.
When his mother was not on the ship, as the only pillar of the Big Mom Pirates...
Katakuri needed to protect his brothers and sisters.
And he had to make sure his mother returned to the Big Mom Pirates unharmed.
Even if he was not the eldest son of the Charlotte family.
But this was his responsibility. It was also his duty.
Katakuri bowed deeply to Whitebeard, "Please return my mother and Cracker to the Big Mom Pirates. From now on, you can do whatever you want with me. Even if you treat me as a slave and carve a mark like 'Celestial Dragon's Hoof' on my back, I will have no regrets!"
His words shocked the division captains and pirate captains of the old Whitebeard Pirates.
Hiss!
This guy came to visit for this?
And he actually wants to exchange his freedom for his mother and brother!
Huh?
Wait a minute!
So, Big Mom was captured by Pops?
A group of old sailors were shocked once again.
"To make this man bow his head, as expected of Pops!" Vista came back from the shock and said with emotion, "For the sake of family he wan to do this, Charlotte Katakuri is indeed quite admirable."
Marco pondered, "Use Katakuri to exchange for Big Mom and Cracker? It's turns out there's also a Cracker who has become a captive? Cracker, sounds familiar, should be a somewhat famous guy."
"Tsk tsk, you are quite responsible!" Tsunade put one hand on her waist, "A man with a sense of responsibility is a charming man! It's just a pity that this man is too tall, otherwise it would be nice to introduce him to Shizune."
Next to her, Shizune, who was holding Tonton, turned red instantly, "Ah? Tsunade-sama, please don't joke like this, I just turned twenty!"
"..."
Whitebeard looked at Katakuri with interest, just quietly watching this young man.
Katakuri's bowing posture remained unchanged.
The atmosphere on the ship fell into a strange stalemate and silence.
Time was also passing by every second.
Katakuri had been maintaining this posture for a full minute.
"Gurararararara, kid, are you playing the emotional card with me, continuing to bargain?" Whitebeard asked a question, causing a drop of sweat to seep out on Katakuri's forehead.
In fact, he did have such a thought.
Because what Whitebeard asked for was not just him, Katakuri, Whitebeard also wanted another Commanders.
The problem is, if Big Mom loses two Commanders, then their combat power will be greatly damaged!
Katakuri originally thought of exchanging Big Mom and Cracker by himself.
Afterwards, let Smoothie be the head of the Three Sweet Commanders, and let Cracker also become the new Three Sweet Commanders.
Plus one Snack.
By then, they could barely make up the Three Sweet Commanders.
Who would have thought that Whitebeard saw through his thoughts at a glance.
This was something he didn't expect.
It seems that the world's strongest man is not only incredibly strong, but also very meticulous in his thoughts.
Not the kind of brute.
"He didn't bargain." A woman's voice suddenly sounded, causing Katakuri's pupils to shrink.
Smoothie stood on the Moby Dick in a big way.
She walked to Katakuri's side with her round and full wheat-colored long legs. No one on the ship stopped her.
"This woman... is also one of the Three Sweet Commanders of the Big Mom Pirates, right? I remember her name seems to be Charlotte Smoothie? It is said that she is a very powerful woman, and also a great swordsman."
Vista was a bit itchy, because he was also a swordsman.
When one swordsman meets another, naturally there will be a desire to compete.
"How did she come over too?" Marco asked curiously.
Naruto chuckled and replied, "Pops gave them two choices - the first is to give up 70% of the territory; the second is to use these two people to exchange for two other captives."
Marco was immediately amazed.
Good guy!
So, the Big Mom Pirates chose the second option?
As the captain of the first team of the Whitebeard Pirates, Marco knew very well...
Once what happened on the Moby Dick spreads throughout the sea, I'm afraid the reputation of the Big Mom Pirates will plummet.
Anyone would think that the Big Mom Pirates are a soft persimmon.
Of course, for the Big Mom Pirates, they must make this choice.
A Four Emperors Pirate Group, without the Four Emperors, would it still make sense?
If they don't get Big Mom back, then it's not that others think they are soft persimmons, but they are indeed soft persimmons!
Marco can understand their actions.
And Marco also admires Pops' tactics.
After this incident, the Big Mom Pirates don't even think about raising their heads in front of the Whitebeard Pirates.
In addition, with two general stars staying in the Whitebeard Pirates, there won't be any conflicts between the two pirate groups.
Even... this is considered a somewhat deformed alliance!
Marco showed a smile.
On the other side.
Katakuri was completely taken aback by the sudden appearance of Smoothie, he straightened up and turned his head to look at his sister.
Although this sister is from a different father, the relationship between the siblings in the Charlotte family is very good.
"Why are you here? Didn't I say let me talk to Whitebeard alone?" Katakuri said to Smoothie: "The Big Mom Pirates need you now, you shouldn't be here."
Smoothie stroked her hair at the temples and said, "Brother Katakuri, don't do everything for us alone! We should let these brothers and sisters play a role, right?"
"We are family! Family, we must help each other. What if you are bullied by the Whitebeard Pirates alone? There is no one to help you."
After Smoothie finished speaking, she faced Whitebeard and said, "Let the two of us exchange for Mom and Cracker! As the strongest man, you will definitely keep your promise, right?"
Katakuri opened his mouth, but didn't know what to say.
It was only then that he realized that his sister had grown up and learned to take responsibility and obligation for the Big Mom Pirates.
Yes, she is already thirty-three years old...
"Gurararararara!"
Whitebeard admired the personal qualities shown by Katakuri and Smoothie. "Little brats, who do you think I am? I am Whitebeard, how could I break my word!"
Whitebeard grinned and continued, "Kakashi, give them back their hostages!"
Whitebeard really did what he said.
Even if he knew that letting Linlin out would definitely not be peaceful in the future.
After all, this crazy woman is not willing to suffer in silence.
However, since she was defeated once, there will be a second time, a third time, and even a fourth time.
Maybe, through this way, all the corners of Big Mom can be pried away!
"Okay, Pops."
Kakashi nodded, his eyes instantly turned into Mangekyou Sharingan, and several blood vessels appeared in his eyes: "Kamui!!!"
Big Mom and Cracker fell out of a space vortex ripple.
Big Mom is still in a coma, the several heavy blows to her head from Whitebeard are not so easy to recover from.
Cracker woke up early.
He was scared to death when he was locked in the Kamui space before.
He didn't know where he was locked up.
That ghost place has nothing.
Then, he watched as his mother suddenly appeared there too, and his mother was still in a coma! No matter what method he used, he couldn't wake his mother up.
Then, Cracker found the scene spinning in front of him.
When he could finally see clearly, he found that he was surrounded by a group of people.
And he also saw Katakuri and Smoothie.
But before he could be happy...
He saw Whitebeard!
...
