Starting as a working person from Naruto

Chapter 409 Charlotte Linlin and Kaido of the Beasts VS Marco and Ace!

The Konoha Pirates were high in the sky.

The pirates continued their conversation on the Golden Ark about seizing power from the strong and exchanging technology, without mentioning the Revolutionary Army.

Monkey D. Dragon looked up at the golden ark in the sky, wondering what the people on it were talking about. He could guess that they would no longer have any alliance with the Revolutionary Army.

perhaps…

Only the red-haired boy named Sasori of the Red Sand had some understanding of the revolutionary army's ideology, so his attitude was slightly more lenient.

The existence of the Konoha Pirates is too mysterious.

Even the World Government currently only knows the names and detailed information of five members of the Konoha Pirates: Hashirama Senju, Madara Uchiha, Tobirama Senju, Sasori of the Red Sand, and Orochimaru. Information about another mysterious figure has yet to be revealed…

According to Dragon's observations, the Konoha Pirates' internal organizational structure seems somewhat strange. Captain Hashirama Senju doesn't wield the same authority as ordinary pirates; instead, the red-haired boy often seems to be in charge. There might be some unknown information behind this...

That's all...

At least the other party did not show any hostility.

On this vast ocean, no one wants to be enemies with the other.

Monkey D. Dragon frowned as he began to think about something else. The other person had brought up a conflict between a person and the Celestial Dragons, which made him quite uneasy.

Princess Kaguya.

This name doesn't sound like that of an ordinary person.

Just as Celestial Dragons would add names like "Saint" (symbolizing masculinity) and "Palace" (symbolizing feminine nobility) to their names, the word "Hime" is not something an ordinary person can use.

Princess Kaguya…

This may be the name of the goddess of the rabbit.

Dragon narrowed his eyes, vaguely understanding something: the Konoha Pirates knew more about the past than he did; the ancient history of Alabasta was real, and some of the historical secrets he had obtained might be fake!

Dragon had always harbored some doubts about the ancient history of Alabasta, finding it difficult to distinguish between truth and falsehood. However, the sheer power of the Konoha Pirates made the historical revelations about Alabasta seem increasingly credible…

These...

We can only look into it later.

"Where's Sabo?"

Monkey D. Dragon turned to look at the Revolutionary Army and found that only Koala and a few Revolutionary Army cadres were waiting for him. Sabo, on whom he had placed high hopes, was nowhere to be seen.

"That guy insisted on going into the forest..."

Kella muttered a complaint she couldn't help but grumble.

"Then let's go too."

Monkey D. Dragon chuckled and beckoned the Revolutionary Army cadres to join him in entering the forest: "This is the ruins of the golden city of Shandora. We can take any gold we find; it will be very helpful to our cause..."

This was something the Konoha Pirates had promised him.

Whether the Konoha Pirates acted out of good intentions or to support them in their fight against the World Government, it is beneficial to them at least for now.

A group of revolutionary army cadres also showed a hint of joy.

These people don't think that far ahead; they only want to do one thing: collect enough gold, buy enough weapons, and overthrow this unjust world!

"We still need to be careful..."

Before leading his companions into the forest, the dragon solemnly reminded them, "There are still dangers in the forest, don't stray too far..."

Inside the hunting grounds…

But there are still two sea emperors!

If possible, conflict should be avoided as much as possible.

It's a great pity...

Some conflicts are beyond their control.

In the forest.

Fire Fist Ace and Blackbeard Teach are still fighting.

Rings of fire erupted from Ace's body, instantly coalescing into a massive fireball that slammed directly into Teach's body!

"Emperor Yan - Great Flame Ring!"

"Dark acupoints!"

Blackbeard Teach's arm turned into a cloud of black mist!

As the power of the Dark-Dark Fruit devoured Ace's flames like a black hole, Teach gained the upper hand in the battle. With a flick of his wrist, he released everything that had been devoured within the Dark Cave, instantly sending Ace's body flying!

"Hahaha..."

Blackbeard Teach laughed heartily, clenching his fist with a smug look on his face: "Ace, this is the power I gained from killing Sachi..."

"Cough cough..."

Ace coughed up a mouthful of blood.

however…

Even at this point, he still didn't want to give up!

A ball of flame quickly enveloped Ace's entire body, and he charged towards Blackbeard Teach again. His Flame-Flame Fruit ability was completely useless against Blackbeard Teach, so he decided to engage in close combat with Teach!

This was exactly what Teach wanted!

Blackbeard Teach grabbed Ace with one hand, completely neutralizing Ace's Devil Fruit ability. A sinister smile crept across his face: "I've been on that ship for over twenty years, and I've seen more battles than you've ever seen. Hehehe, Ace, you're no match for me. Join my side..."

next moment!

A blue phoenix flew over!

"Marco!"

A look of surprise flashed in Teach's eyes!

Marco, in his phoenix form, was incredibly fast. He flapped his wings and sent a group of Blackbeard Pirates flying. Then, he swooped down and tore open Teach's chest with a claw, instantly transforming into human form and rescuing Ace from Blackbeard's clutches!

"Aaaaaah...it hurts so much!"

Teach pressed his hand to the bloodstains on his chest, writhing on the ground in agony and wailing, "Marco, were you trying to kill me?!"

"I really want to kill you."

Marco tilted his head, his dead fish eyes scrutinizing the black-bearded Teach: "I spent thirty years on that ship, and you're the only guy I'd ever want to kill..."

"Marco!"

Ace breathed a slight sigh of relief as he looked at Marco, who had saved him.

fortunately…

Marco arrived just in time…

I almost lost just now.

"Disobeying Dad's orders."

Marco glanced at Ace and began to lecture his younger brother: "Luckily, Dad sent me to find you, otherwise you might have died at this bastard's hands like Sachi..."

"Ha ha ha ha…"

Ace, unconcerned about nearly dying, turned his gaze back to Teach and urged in a deep voice, "Let's go together and take him back!"

"Too late."

Marco shook his head, rejecting Ace's suggestion.

The man with the pineapple-shaped haircut slowly looked up at the sky and continued in a deep voice, "You leave here first, leave the rest to me..."

"No way!"

Ace rubbed his wrist, his face still stubbornly fixed on Teach: "I'm taking that guy back to Dad to apologize. I absolutely cannot forgive him!"

"..."

Marco's eye twitched, seemingly exasperated by his stubbornness: "You're still so impulsive. Take a moment to consider the situation. Big Mom and those two bastards, Kaido, have already attracted attention with your battle..."

Fire Fist Ace involuntarily looked up at the sky and saw two tall figures swooping down in their direction!

"Mmmmmmmm..."

Charlotte Linlin, riding on her thunderclouds, flew towards them with a playful laugh: "Marco, Fire Fist Ace, seems to have had some unexpected surprises, huh? Hahaha..."

Kaido's dragon form slowly transformed into a tall man with bull horns. His hands clenched into fists, his gaze fixed on Marco: "Hey, Marco, I've always liked you. If you join my pirate crew, I'll let you go today!"

Kaido of the Beasts.

This is a man who has a natural affinity for Zoan-type Devil Fruit users.

Therefore, the Beasts Pirates have always been dominated by Zoan-type Devil Fruit users. Kaido of the Beasts has always wanted his pirate crew to be composed entirely of Zoan-type Devil Fruit users, so he has adopted various means to acquire Zoan-type Devil Fruits.

Of course.

Marco, a Zoan-type Devil Fruit user with the Mythical Zoan class and Phoenix form, has always been a subordinate that Kaido of the Beasts has long desired.

"Then I'm truly sorry to have disappointed you."

Marco rejected Kaido's invitation without hesitation, tilting his head with an indifferent expression: "I don't want to join any other pirate crew..."

"You used to have that old white-bearded guy protecting you..."

Kaido clenched his fist and walked step by step toward Marco, his Conqueror's Haki beginning to emanate: "Today, you won't be in charge..."

As long as we arrest them first...

I'll gradually develop ways to make Marco submit!

This trip to Skypiea was a pleasant surprise. I didn't expect that Marco, the first division commander of the Whitebeard Pirates, and Ace, the second division commander, would be here!

Between the Four Emperors…

They have mostly been enemies.

Kaido has always wanted to fight the Whitebeard Pirates. If he can capture the two most troublesome sons of the Whitebeard Pirates here first, he can get rid of that old man Whitebeard's troubles!

"You go first."

Marco urged Fire Fist Ace on.

"None of you are leaving today."

Kaido stomped his foot on the ground, causing the surrounding earth to tremble instantly. His gaze was fixed on Ace: "Fire Fist Ace, I remember you bastard, you ran off and caused a ruckus on my turf while I was away..."

This grudge...

Kaido had remembered that all along!

Fire Fist Ace even seduced his own daughter Yamato—no, his son Yamato—and together they smashed a dragon statue that symbolized authority!

He just didn't expect that Fire Fist Ace would join the Whitebeard Pirates so quickly, leaving Kaido of the Beasts with no way to retaliate against him. Now, he never expected that this guy would appear in front of him!

But...

Kaido never intended to kill Ace.

After all, Ace was no weakling.

Whether it's Fire Fist Ace or Phoenix Marco, both of these guys have piqued Kaido's interest. Kaido is a man who loves talent... Only by gaining more and more allies can he stand more firmly on the ever-changing sea in the future!

"Lingling, help me catch them."

Kaido of Beasts stared intently at the two of them, and without raising his head, loudly ordered, "Even if I owe you another favor!"

"Then you'll never be able to repay this debt in your lifetime, hahaha..."

Charlotte Linlin chuckled and swung her fist down at Marco and Ace, arcs of black and red Conqueror's Haki crackling on her fist!

"Get out of the way!"

Marco's body erupted with a blue flame, instantly forming a wall of fire, which vanished in an instant under the power of Charlotte Linlin's punch!

but…

This is enough time!

"You go first."

Marco reminded Ace again.

Even facing two Yonko alone, Marco remained fearless, his gaze unwavering: "Once I've shaken them off, we'll meet up at Sabaody Archipelago..."

"I…"

Ace wanted to retort.

"Alright, I know you're strong."

Marco interrupted Ace, continuing casually, "Don't think you can escape just because I say it. Your escape will depend on your luck..."

Marco said this, but he didn't really believe it. He knew that he and Ace had a high chance of escaping. As long as they started fighting, Jinbe would definitely come to their aid. The three of them should have no problem escaping...

but…

The fighting power of the two Yonko is not that simple!

Moreover…

Kaido of the Beasts is not a fool.

Like a lion hunting a rabbit, Kaido uses all his strength – that's his style.

The man was well aware that Marco and Ace were no match for him, but if they tried to escape, it would be troublesome for him and Charlotte Linlin to chase after them.

fine…

He also has an accomplice on the sky island.

Kaido glanced around and suddenly shouted, "Hey, Doflamingo, I remember you're pretty good, right?"

"Fufufufufu..."

Doflamingo quickly emerged from behind a large tree, a smile playing on his lips, but cold sweat beading on his forehead: "Need my help?"

"Don't let them escape."

Kaido didn't even look at Doflamingo, speaking as if he were instructing one of his subordinates. He knew what kind of person Doflamingo was: "I'll give you a larger share of the weapons exported from Wano Country, and I'll also take your failed SMILE samples."

"Fufufufufu..."

Doflamingo chuckled sinisterly and slowly nodded. A spiderweb appeared in his palm, but he hesitated to make a move: "But I'm a little worried that this move might displease the Konoha Pirates..."

This hunting game…

But it was broadcast live all over the world!

If I were to use the String-String Fruit's technique to seal off the entire Appayato, it would very likely cause the Den Den Mushi signals inside and outside to be cut off...

Konoha Pirates...

They're not someone you can mess with easily!

of course.

Kaido of the Beasts is not someone to be trifled with!

After Doflamingo finished speaking, he added, "However, I can help you stop them, it shouldn't be a problem..."

This kind of thing...

Doflamingo didn't want to get involved.

Unfortunately, Kaido was too close, and Doflamingo really didn't dare to refuse.

"snort…"

Kaido was somewhat dissatisfied, but ultimately said nothing more.

These arrangements…

That should be enough for him to catch Fire Fist Ace and Marco!

"Now…"

"You can't escape."

Kaido charged straight at Marco and Fire Fist Ace!

This terrifying sea emperor, as ferocious as a beast, instantly unleashed a terrifying aura of Conqueror's Haki. As he charged, he was like a mountain-sized bull charging, smashing everything around him to pieces!

"This is troublesome..."

Marco shook his head, his body swiftly activating his phoenix form. As he took flight, he called out to Fire Fist Ace, "Ace, let's go!"

"good!"

Fire Fist Ace gritted his teeth, a resolute determination rising in his heart. His body instantly transformed into a raging inferno and soared into the sky, unleashing the full power of the Flame-Flame Fruit!

However, the young pirate did not escape as Marco had planned. A towering flame transformed into a wall of fire to try and stop Kaido of the Beasts, while another flame shot towards Charlotte Linlin in the air like an arrow, and yet another flame burned towards Doflamingo in an instant!

This guy…

He wanted to sacrifice himself here to cover Marco's escape!

"Hey, Marco."

Fire Fist Ace's head emerged from the flames, and his voice suddenly became calm: "I might not be able to leave. This isn't the ocean; this is Sky Island. Only you, who can fly, have any hope of escaping Sky Island..."

"Go back and tell everyone."

"Don't help me take revenge."

As Fire Fist Ace spoke, his Conqueror's Haki surged forth amidst the flames, attempting to clash with Kaido's Conqueror's Haki: "Let me die here like the former Second Division Captain, Kozuki Oden..."

"idiot…"

The phoenix flaps its wings in the sky.

The phoenix's eyes were fixed on the flames below, which were being compressed. After gritting its teeth, it turned around and swooped back towards the battlefield!

Letting myself watch Ace sacrifice himself...

I'd rather sacrifice myself here!

At least he was confident that he could stop Kaido and Charlotte Linlin from chasing him!

I took a look at the Wano Country arc...

Kaido of the Beasts is a very intelligent and methodical guy...

Kozuki Oden in the Wano Country arc must have been mentally unstable...
