The island of poisonous cherry blossoms.

On the shore of the island, a clean area has been cleared, which happens to be a dead end in the direction of the wind, and there are basically no cherry blossom petals falling here.

There are a number of people gathered here, and they all have special tattoos on their bodies, which are the pattern of a skull, two bones forming a cross placed on the back of the skull, and above the teeth of the skull is a crescent-shaped mustache.

They are-

Whitebeard Pirates!

At this moment, on the shore, Marko, an immortal bird who is not yet thirty years old and still looks very young, is standing there, looking at the sea not far away, holding a telescope in his hand and saying:

"It's the Black Pearl of the John Pirates."

"Hey! Tell Daddy! ”

Marco lowered his binoculars and spoke to his companion.

The person next to him immediately answered, and quickly ran towards the interior of the island.

In this sea, there are not many existences that can make the Whitebeard Pirates deal with it seriously, and there are only a few such as the Hundred Beast Pirates and the BIGMOM Pirates, and the John Pirates are also one of them.

"Looks like they're coming for us."

Foil Bista stood next to Marco, his hands resting on the hilts of his two blades, looking out at the sea in the distance.

Diamond Joz sat on the reef behind him and said in a deep voice, "If you want to challenge Daddy, let them all sink to the bottom of the sea." ”

"Not necessarily for a fight."

Marco picked up the binoculars and looked at them again, and said, "That guy John should know that there is no benefit to going to war with us, he is not a madman like Kaido...... Well? ”

Just as Marco was muttering, he was suddenly slightly startled, and his hand holding the telescope moved in the other direction, and he saw another ship there.

Look closely.

The ship had white sails and no flags, it was a medium-sized sailing ship, and it wasn't a pirate ship, it looked a bit like a merchant ship.

Marco moved the telescope to the John Pirates' ship, and found that the Black Pearl was chasing the 'merchant ship', and was getting closer.

"Someone is being targeted by the John Pirates."

Marco lowered his binoculars and spoke.

Diamond Joz, Foil Bista and the others next to them had also noticed the two ships on the sea that were coming towards this side, and they were constantly approaching.

"It's not our people."

Bista gripped the hilt of his sword.

Marco glanced at Bista, folded his arms on his chest, and said, "It's not our people, it should be the merchant ships around here, it's really unlucky to meet the John Pirates." ”

The Whitebeard Pirates have occupied some territory, but this island of poisonous cherry blossoms is not Whitebeard's territory now, and the merchant ship that sailed to this side did not fly the flag of the Whitebeard Pirates, so it was obviously not dependent on their forces.

The Whitebeard Pirates usually loot very little, and they are in a relatively poor state, and most of the time they loot from other pirates, taking away the treasures of other pirates, or the property of the world's noble Draco, and basically do not attack civilians.

But they're not bad guys either.

In this case, I won't go against the John Pirates for irrelevant people, not to mention that Whitebeard hasn't come over yet, and it's too far away from the sea over there, so it's too late to rush over.

Foil Bista's hand was released from the hilt of the sword, and he shook his head and said, "If the John Pirates are coming for us, then they are indeed very unlucky. ”

Under their gaze.

The two ships gradually approached the island, and the distance became closer and closer, and when they finally approached a certain area, the sound of cannons rang out from the Black Pearl of the John Pirates.

Rumble! Rumble! Rumble!!

Seven or eight bombarded the ship of Kaede Night in front of them.

The artillery fire was not intensive, and it was clearly not intended to destroy Kaede's ship completely, but to cause enough damage to the hull that Kaede's ship could no longer escape, and then chase after it, looting and looting the ship's contents.

Thundered!!

The cannonballs covered the area where Kaede's ship was located, and the exploding sea water splashed all over the sky, covering the shadow of Kaede's ship, and the waves set off more than ten meters high.

Marco and the others on the shore looked at this scene and shook their heads.

Marco didn't continue to look at it, but turned his head and said to the crew of the Whitebeard Pirates who were coming behind one after another, "Hey! The John Pirates are coming, everyone pay attention! Trainees step back, don't come here, you can't bear it! ”

And just as Marco was shouting at those crew members in the rear.

Foil Bista, who was standing next to him, suddenly stared at him, as if he had seen something uncertain, he looked at the sea and said, "Marco! Look! Something seems wrong! ”

"Huh?"

Marco turned his head to look.

I saw that on the sea, after the splashing waves fell, the boat of Fengye resurfaced from the waves, and there was no trace of destruction on the hull!

And the most bizarre thing is that another round of shells shot over, and before they were completely close to the ship, they all froze in the air, and then exploded one after another!

"Huh."

Captain John, who was standing at the front of the deck of the Black Pearl, looked at this scene on the sea in the distance, was slightly surprised, and said, "It seems that there are some characters on the ship." ”

He drew his sword.

Blocking the shelling of the Black Pearl is obviously some kind of Devil Fruit ability, and if it can be blocked so easily, there should be some strength on that ship.

However, he didn't really care, because he was Captain John, one of the sea thieves in the New World, and there were not many people in his eyes on this sea.

Laugh at!!!

After he drew his sword, he swung it straight forward.

With a wave of his blue-brown sword qi, it flew through the air and hit the stern of the ship where Feng Ye was located, and the distance of hundreds of meters came in an instant, wanting to split Feng Ye's ship in half!

But at this moment.

A figure appeared on the roof of the ship.

The figure just reached out and pressed the blue-brown sword qi that flew over, and directly pinched the attacking blue-brown sword qi with the palm of his hand.

Zizi!!

The blue-brown sword qi twisted into the shape of an arc, bursting out with a power that was enough to split the large sea king in half, but it was forcibly contained in the air by the palm of that hand, like a python pinched by the neck, constantly struggling but unable to get rid of it.

Immediately after that, the palm of his hand squeezed hard, and the huge blue-brown sword qi suddenly collapsed, turning into countless points of light and dissipating in the air.

“……”

Marko's expression froze.

Foil Bista's expression froze.

Captain John froze there as well.

Feng Ye slowly put down his hand, stood on the top of the ship, a hundred meters away from the sea, looking at Captain John on the deck of the Black Pearl from a distance, and said indifferently:

"You're just that, can't you think about it?"
