Chapter 270 Marco's Help

"Wukong, on behalf of my father and everyone else, thank you for your help today."

During the banquet, Marco grabbed a large wine glass and sat down cross-legged next to Goku.

Such words of gratitude should have been spoken by Whitebeard, but Whitebeard's physical condition was already poor, and although he didn't make many moves at Marineford today, his physical condition deteriorated further.

Marco, a ship's doctor, had just examined Whitebeard's condition and strongly advised him to get an IV drip and rest, so he became the one who came to thank him.

In fact, Marco is qualified to do so.

As a veteran of the Whitebeard Pirates, Marco is nominally only the captain of the first division, but in reality, it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that he is the vice-captain of the Whitebeard Pirates.

As Whitebeard's health deteriorated, he was basically put in charge of most of the Whitebeard Pirates' affairs, with only a few very important decisions being made by him.

Wukong was happily munching on a golden crispy chicken when he heard Marco's voice. He turned to look at Marco, his cheeks bulging and covered in yellow grease. He blinked his eyes, looking quite adorable.

Gudong! !

Wukong tried to swallow the food in his mouth in one gulp, but he choked. His face turned red, and he grabbed his neck with both hands, looking as if he was about to suffocate.

Marco hesitated for a moment, then quickly handed him his glass of wine: "Quick, drink some water!"

As if seeing the light at the end of the tunnel, Wukong immediately grabbed the wine cup and drank it down without thinking.

Then, he let out a long sigh of relief.

"Phew—! I almost choked to death."

Then, he licked his lips and scrunched up his face, saying, "It tastes so bitter! What kind of water is this?"

Marco chuckled, somewhat embarrassed, and said, "This is alcohol. Sorry, I forgot you're not an adult yet and can't drink."

0

"No wonder it tastes so bitter, it's alcohol. I don't like this kind of drink." Wukong wrinkled his face and handed the glass back.

"Haha, it's okay, we have other drinks here. Smuta, bring me a glass of orange juice!"

Marco shouted at a pirate.

"Here they come! Captain Marco!"

Smutta, the errand boy, quickly brought over a glass of orange juice. Goku politely accepted it, took a delicious sip, and his wrinkled little face finally relaxed.

"Ah! This is delicious!"

Seeing Goku's satisfied smile, Marco also smiled.

To them, Goku is now a great benefactor. Without Goku, they couldn't believe how many of them would have died in the battle to rescue Ace.

Goku not only helped them rescue Ace, but also saved them from too many casualties, so now the entire Whitebeard Pirates are extremely grateful to Goku.

It can be said that if Goku needs help, everyone in the Whitebeard Pirates would be more than willing to assist him.

For Marco, Goku's kindness was even greater, because Goku helped his father share a lot of the burden. Without Goku, his father's physical condition would have been much worse after this battle.

"Wukong, are your companions in the Sabaody Archipelago?" Marco asked, remembering that Wukong had several companions and recalling that Wukong had said he was also going to the Sabaody Archipelago.

He wanted to see if there was anything they could do to help Goku once they arrived at the Sabaody Archipelago.

"Mhm!" Wukong nodded.

"I have two friends there, and I haven't seen them in a long time, so I want to go see them first, and then go find the others."

"Is there anything we can help with, Goku? Just tell us, and we'll do our best to help if we can," Marco asked.

"help?"

Wukong blinked.

"Hmm...I don't think so."

Wukong thought for a moment, then suddenly remembered something and quickly asked, "Oh right, there really is one."

"Oh? What is it, Goku?" Marco immediately perked up and looked at Goku intently.

"I have a friend who needs to go to Twin Peaks, but we can't get him there right away. Do you have any ideas?"

Goku still remembers his promise to Laboon: once he finds Laboon's friend, he will immediately send him to find Laboon.

Although he had found Brook before, they were unable to send Brook back, so the matter was put on hold.

Now, when asked if he needs any help, Wukong immediately thinks of this one thing.

"Twin Cape?"

Marco was somewhat surprised that Wukong had mentioned this location.

Without much thought, he nodded almost immediately: "No problem, we have a way to get your friend there. By the way, if I may ask, what's your friend's name?"

"Brook, his name is Brook!"

Upon hearing that Marco had a way to send Brook back to Twin Capes to see Laboon, Goku was overjoyed and laughed heartily.

Laboon, you wait, your buddy will be back soon!

Brook?

Marco thought for a moment and realized he had never heard of the name before.

"Okay, we'll take Brook to Twin Cape, Goku, don't worry." Marco smiled slightly.

Before the banquet was over, the Whitebeard Pirates' fleet had already arrived at the Sabaody Archipelago.

Of course, although the banquet was not over yet, Goku had already eaten his fill. When he saw that they had arrived at Sabaody Archipelago, he immediately got off the ship to find Pupu and Brook.

In a secluded harbor, the Dream Chaser is moored alone.

Because Pupu and Brook were on board, Rayleigh didn't coat the ship at that time.

"Huffing and puffing! Huffing and puffing!"

On the deck, Pupu was training hard, his face covered in sweat, his eyes full of fighting spirit.

It already knew from Rayleigh what happened to Goku, Nami, and the others after it left. Although Goku, Nami, and the others were ultimately safe, it was still very angry, angry that it didn't have enough strength to rescue its companions when they were in danger.

Therefore, it now needs to work twice as hard to become a qualified partner.

"Yohohoho! What a lovely afternoon, sunshine and coffee, it's just a pity there aren't any beautiful women to feast my eyes on."

.

Unlike Pupu, Brook was quite relaxed at the moment. He was half-reclined on the sun lounger where Robin often sat, lazily basking in the sunlight, holding a cup of steaming coffee in his hand, looking just like he was on vacation.

That is indeed the case.

After several days of anxious anticipation, and finding that no navy personnel came to search the area or any thugs caused trouble, Brook almost completely relaxed, spending his days leisurely basking in the sun, as if he wanted to make up for all the sunshine he had missed in the past few decades.

Thanks to the supplies left on the ship, as well as some supplies that Rayleigh had brought them before, the two of them ate, drank, relieved themselves, and slept on the ship for the past twenty days without having to disembark.

Thus, the scene of Pupu cultivating peacefully and Brook lazily sunbathing for half a month was created.

"I wonder when Mr. Rayleigh will be back, and I wonder how Goku and the others are doing now," Brook muttered to himself, gazing into the distance and taking a sip of his rich coffee.

Their place is remote, and almost no news gets through here, so they still don't know that Ace was publicly executed.

Of course, even if they knew, they wouldn't react much beyond a moment of shock, like most people, because they had never met Ace and didn't know about the relationship between Ace and Goku.

Suddenly, a gust of wind blew in, causing ripples in the coffee cup, and some of the scalding hot coffee overflowed and flowed onto Brooke's fingers.

"Aaaaaah! It's so hot! So ...

Brooke, who had burned his finger, jerked his arm, causing more coffee to spill out and land on him.

In an instant, Brooke jumped up like a startled rabbit, throwing the cup in her hand, and the scalding coffee spilled out in the air like a curtain of water.

The cup, empty of coffee, was about to trace a graceful arc in the air before crashing to the ground and smashing to pieces.

A figure suddenly appeared under the cup and caught it steadily in their hand.

"Hey! Brook, don't throw the cup around like that, Nami's going to get angry."

But the person who came was none other than Wukong.

Upon hearing the sound, Pupu, who was training, froze instantly.

It snapped its neck around, and when it saw the grinning Wukong actually appear before it, it roared and pounced on him immediately.

"Waaaaah!" (Master!)

Although Rayleigh told it that Goku, Nami, and the others had been safely taken away, it was still very worried about them these days. Now that it saw Goku appear in front of it unharmed, its emotions that had been suppressed for many days finally erupted.

"Hehe, I'm fine, poop poop." Wukong patted poop poop with a smile.

Brook finally realized what was happening, opened his mouth, and said, "Sorry, I burned my hand. I'm relieved to see you're alright. Oh, by the way, where are Nami and Robin?"

"They weren't with me, they're all safe," Goku said with a smile, then added, "By the way, Brook, I have good news for you, you'll be seeing Laboon soon!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Marco, with his blue wings outstretched, flew in from behind and landed next to Goku.

"You're so fast, Goku! I almost lost you."

Marco transformed back into human form, shaking his head with a wry smile.

He and Wukong entered the island together. At first, when Wukong hadn't discovered the Dream Chaser, Wukong's speed was relatively slow, and he could easily keep up. But once Wukong discovered the Dream Chaser, its sudden burst of speed made him fall far behind in an instant. If the Dream Chaser hadn't been nearby and Wukong hadn't stopped so quickly, he would have been long gone by now.

"Oh, who is this gentleman?"

Brooke looked at Marco with a puzzled expression. He had almost thought Marco was an enemy and was about to draw his sword, but Marco's words confirmed that the other party was not an enemy.

"He's the one who can take you to see Laboon," Goku said, chuckling to himself.

"My name is Marco, and you must be Brook." Marco looked at Brook with a warm smile.

"Wukong has already told me that you can come with us and we will take you to Twin Capes."

"What...what happened? I don't quite understand what's going on." Brooke was a little confused.

So, over the next period of time, Goku and Marco explained Brook's doubts.

When Brooke learned of the earth-shattering events that had occurred at Marineford today, his eyes nearly popped out of their sockets.

Okay, even though he doesn't have eyeballs.

"How could this happen?" It took Brook a long time to calm his agitated emotions.

"So, now I have a chance to return to Twin Capes?"

"Mmm!" Wukong nodded emphatically, smiling happily.

It was a very happy thing for Brooke to be able to meet Lab.

"But I have to stay here and watch the boat for you," Brooke suddenly remembered.

He already knew that Goku was preparing to train with Nami and the others in another place for a period of time. During this time, the Dream Chaser would have to be guarded, otherwise it might be damaged or even lost.

"Wow!" Pupu raised her hand to indicate that she, as a single beast, could take on this responsibility, reassuring Brooke to leave.

But Brooke thought about it and still refused: "No, it's too few of you. At least two people are needed to keep an eye on the ship."

Although they haven't encountered any danger these days, who knows what they might encounter next? And when their supplies run out, someone will need to go out and buy supplies. If there's only one person on the ship, it's obviously impossible to manage everything.

At this moment, Marco, who had been pondering nearby, suddenly spoke up: "Leave the ship guarding to me. I will arrange enough manpower to help you watch the ship."

In fact, most of the trouble could be avoided simply by flying the Whitebeard Pirate Flag on the Dream Chaser. However, Marco thought that Goku was not a pirate and might not like his ship being flown with a pirate flag. Moreover, although the name Whitebeard was intimidating, there were still some fearless people who wouldn't be scared and might even be more inclined to cause trouble because the other party was Whitebeard.

So after much deliberation, he decided it would be best to send a few people to stay here and help Wukong watch the boat.

With his promise, Brook finally accepted Goku's kindness and prepared to leave with Marco and the others to see Laboon.

Goku didn't linger long in the Sabaody Archipelago. He found his weighted turtle shell on the ship, carried it with satisfaction, said goodbye to Marco, Ace, and the others, and then swam into the ocean with Pupu, preparing to swim all the way back to Amazon Lily.

A day later, thanks to the frantic efforts of numerous coating specialists, all of the Whitebeard Pirates' ships were finally coated and set sail for the New World.

Meanwhile, various newspapers about the epic battle between the Marineford Navy and the Whitebeard Pirates were printed and spread far and wide as news birds flew to various places.

Whether or not they had watched Marineford's live broadcast, everyone who received the newspaper was shocked and terrified.

The navy actually lost?!
