Starting as a working person from Naruto

Chapter 473 What kind of Celestial Dragon King can't even get a sip of water!

Calm and calm.

This is a very rare weather condition to encounter on the Grand Line.

The entire ocean experienced a day shrouded in darkness, with all the pointers pointing in one direction. Many people had endured a thrilling day and sailed in the direction indicated by the pointers.

Some ships that sailed the first half of the Grand Line thought they were on their way to the New World until their voyage was forced to stop on the Red Line, where they witnessed a scene that made them shudder.

Red Earth Continent…

A huge crack appeared!

A gap has appeared in the red earth continent that has always stood in this sea!

Many pirate ships and naval warships passing by saw that the broken area was littered with scattered buildings and the corpses of Celestial Dragons...

Those noble Celestial Dragons were like tattered rags hanging haphazardly on the edge of a cliff, or their corpses were submerged in the water, unrecognizable as human beings...

"here it is…"

"The Holy Land Mary Geoise..."

"Mary Geoise was indeed destroyed, just as the newspapers said..."

Every ship that passed by felt a sense of panic upon seeing the corpses left behind by the Celestial Dragons. Mary Geoise was a sacred place of the World Government, but just a day ago it had become a canyon where not even ruins could be found!

The most powerful organization on the sea was destroyed, and the rulers of this sea all became bloated corpses floating on the surface!

where are they?

What will become of them?

Compared to the people who came from the first half of the Grand Line, the people of the New World had a much smoother journey. Guided by the Log Pose, they arrived at the area indicated by the Log Pose, and everyone saw a pitch-black island.

Black Island.

An island that is completely black.

The island was devoid of any vegetation, consisting only of pure blackness, making it impossible to discern its composition.

Pirates and marines on the high seas tacitly divided themselves into two areas, each occupying two sections of sea near Black Island, waiting for the flow of people to gather.

The Whitebeard Pirates.

Three massive Moby Dick ships were moored ahead.

More than forty other huge pirate ships of varying sizes were moored behind the Moby Dick. All of these pirate ships belonged to Whitebeard's affiliated pirate crews.

Because of the Log Pose, these pirates could only reach this place. Fortunately, when they arrived, they saw the Whitebeard Pirates' ship, the Moby Dick, which finally gave them a sense of security.

Although these affiliated pirate crews are all famous pirates in the New World, they are just a bunch of nobodys here. They are even well aware of this. For them, it is enough to wait for their old man Whitebeard's orders here.

On the Moby Dick.

Edward Newgate, the white-bearded man, was not sitting in his chair.

The old man with a huge crescent-shaped beard stood on the bow of the ship's deck, holding the long, supreme grade sword in his hand, gazing at the distant Black Island.

Fire Fist Ace and Yamato stood behind Whitebeard, looking at the distant Black Island with tense and serious expressions, because they had just met the Konoha Pirates in Wano Country.

The pressure from the other side was... very strong!

A sudden gust of wind blew in!

A figure radiating blue flames suddenly descended from the sky; it was Marco, the captain of the Whitebeard 1st Division, and his expression was somewhat solemn.

"Dad!"

Marco walked up to Whitebeard and said in a deep voice, "Just as you guessed, our people have all come following the Log Pose's guidance, and many pirate crews from the New World have also arrived. Those monsters from Konoha are forcing everyone on the sea to gather here!"

This is the area that Marco inspected.

Whitebeard didn't answer Marco's question, but simply nodded calmly, still staring intently at the dark island, his grip on the greatsword tightening.

"Mommy! Mommy!"

"Mom, I see another version of myself!"

A rough, clumsy voice suddenly rang out from this sea area belonging to pirates.

Everyone present couldn't help but look in the direction of the voice, because it sounded like a child with intellectual disabilities, making them wonder which family's female pirate was and why she was out with her child.

however…

When their eyes fell upon him, they saw a tall and strong pirate with blond hair and a huge crescent-shaped beard. He was holding a massive guandao (a type of halberd).

A short, old woman rode on the pirate's shoulders as if she were riding a chariot; the old woman's face was covered with wrinkles from old age.

wrong…

The important one is that pirate who also has a crescent-shaped beard!

Everyone glanced at the pirate, then at the direction of the white-bearded man…

Why do I feel like the white-bearded man and that pirate look a bit alike? They're both over six meters tall, both have crescent-shaped beards, and both wield a large guandao (a type of Chinese halberd)...

Ok…

More than just a little bit like...

Why does that pirate look like Whitebeard's illegitimate son?

"I am Edward Weevil!"

The tall pirate pointed his large halberd in the direction of Whitebeard and shouted, "What am I doing there!"

"..."

The group of pirates realized that this guy might not be very smart.

but…

This guy's name...

Why does he look so much like Edward Newgate with the white beard!

"You stupid son, it's because he's your biological father!"

The old woman slapped Edward Weevil hard across the face and shouted, "Weevil, stop making a scene! We're here to wait for Whitebeard and those people from Konoha to die together before we come to collect his inheritance!"

Loudly plotting is commonplace among pirates.

The pirates in this area were used to this, though their gazes were somewhat strange, glancing at Whitebeard every now and then, and then at Edward Weevil…

Honestly...

Such rude remarks would have enraged some pirate crews affiliated with Whitebeard, if it weren't for Edward Weevil's appearance, and they would have wanted to rush over and kill him long ago!

no way…

Edward Weebull, with his size and appearance, looked more like their biological son than any of the white-bearded men's adopted sons...

"Dad..."

Marco looked at Whitebeard with a somewhat complicated expression on his face. As sons raised by Whitebeard, they couldn't very well directly criticize their father's private life!

"It's Ba Jin..."

Whitebeard glanced over there.

Whitebeard paid no attention to Edward Weevil, who looked remarkably like him, but instead glanced at the old woman riding on Edward Weevil's head.

That old woman…

She was a great beauty in her youth...

Both the white-bearded man and the old woman had served in the Rocks Pirates; they even attacked God Valley together. It's unbelievable that so many years have passed, and that once beautiful and sharp-tongued woman has become so old…

"Ignore them."

A fleeting look of nostalgia crossed the white-bearded man's eyes. His gaze remained fixed on the distant black island as he murmured, "Prepare to land and explore that black island!"

"Jinbe has already left!"

After Marco finished speaking, worried that Whitebeard would think his arrangements were flawed, he quickly explained, "Jinbe insisted on going first, saying he wanted to investigate the situation of Kuroshima from the seabed..."

Because Jinbe is a shark-man who can freely hide in the sea, he believed that there shouldn't be much danger in the sea, so he took the initiative to go and investigate the situation on Kuroshima.

"..."

Whitebeard simply shook his head slowly and said no more.

Because Whitebeard once planted his flag on Fishman Island, protecting the peace of Fishman Island and preventing the slave traders who captured Fishmen from landing. He guarded Fishman Island for decades, and the Fishmen were extremely grateful to him.

Jinbe…

He was extremely loyal and righteous.

This loyal and righteous knight-errant did a lot to repay Whitebeard.

Jinbe voluntarily gave up his position as one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea to join the Whitebeard Pirates in the war against the Konoha Pirates, even though he knew his strength was insignificant in the war.

Splash...

Suddenly, a sound of water came from the seabed, and a muscular fish-man figure leaped out of the water and landed on the deck!

"You're back, Jinbe?"

Whitebeard was finally relieved to see Jinbe appear.

"Dad!"

Jinbe quickly shook off the water droplets, his face showing no fear, but his gaze was somewhat grave as he spoke: "I investigated the situation of Black Island from the sea, and that Black Island seems to be a little different from what I expected..."

"What's wrong?"

Fire Fist Ace asked somewhat nervously.

"That black island..."

"It's highly likely that it was man-made..."

Jinbe's fist slowly clenched, his expression growing increasingly serious: "I went to the seabed beneath Black Island. There were even signs that the reefs had been recently moved. Someone gathered up the seabed reefs to form Black Island..."

"Are the underwater reefs...black?"

Some people couldn't help but bring up this question out of curiosity.

"Of course it's not black..."

Jinbe shook his head, his expression becoming even more serious: "The reason that island is black is because it's permanently covered and shrouded in Armament Haki!"

"!!!"

Everyone present was terrified!

"Are you kidding me?"

Diamond Joz glanced at the black island, shielding his forehead with his hand. After gazing into the distance for a moment, he couldn't help but exclaim, "That's an island!"

and…

That's not a small island!

Even in the New World, Black Island is a vast island, so how could anyone possibly wrap Armament Haki around it!

So far, the strongest Armament Haki that people have seen should be that of Uchiha Madara of the Konoha Pirates. However, Uchiha Madara's Armament Haki only wrapped around his Susanoo, and it is impossible for it to wrap around and cover the entire island!

"Gurala la la..."

The white-bearded man finally managed a grin.

The old man seemed to have witnessed something extremely interesting, and his mood seemed to completely relax at that moment. He seemed to understand why Kuroshima had appeared.

"Those guys..."

The white-bearded man couldn't suppress the smile on his lips. He stopped trying to imagine just how powerful the person who created Black Island was, and simply said in a deep voice, "What a fine place..."

"Is that... a battlefield?"

Marco offered his conjecture, sweat finally beginning to trickle down his forehead: "Those monsters from the Konoha Pirates... they've gone so far as to use Armament Haki to permanently envelop and cover the entire island. Are they planning to use Black Island as their battlefield?"

"..."

The white-bearded man nodded slowly.

The news didn't linger long within the Whitebeard Pirates.

Other pirate crews who arrived at the island also learned of the situation on Black Island. Many pirates couldn't imagine just how powerful the enemy was. If it weren't for the Log Pose, they would have been too afraid to leave...

of course.

Some refused to flee.

Some even come here looking to cause trouble.

Crocodile, the former Shichibukai, had been watching Whitebeard because he had been defeated by Whitebeard when he set sail years ago. He had always wanted to find an opportunity to have a life-or-death duel with Whitebeard and take Whitebeard's head.

"The redhead is here!"

A loud voice attracted the attention of many people!

All the pirates couldn't help but look in one direction. The Red-Haired Pirates's ship, the Redfords, was slowly sailing towards them, heading directly towards the front of the pirate area, clearly intending to take the lead—a privilege of the Emperor of the Sea.

"cut…"

"A defeated foe of Konoha..."

"A lackey colluding with the World Government..."

Of course, there were some people who were not convinced by Shanks, and seeing that the Redford still acted like an emperor of the sea, they couldn't help but curse him.

"Shut up…"

"Are you out of your mind...?"

Some people quickly tried to dissuade their companions, fearing that they might get into trouble.

However, the Red-Haired Pirates seemed unconcerned about the insults. Their pirate ship continued to move slowly forward, with other pirate ships making way for them, allowing the Red-Haired Pirates' Red Fox and Moby Dick to be at the forefront.

of course.

The Beasts Pirates and the Charlotte Pirates weren't so lucky.

Because of the capture of Kaido of the Beasts and Charlotte Linlin, these two pirate crews naturally could not be subdued, and they could only follow behind the Four Emperors' pirate crews.

This sea area…

It was already almost completely filled with countless pirate ships.

Another sea area…

Navy warships were also densely packed, row after row.

Fleet Admiral Akainu's warship was positioned at the very front, with a group of high-ranking World Government officials also on board, though they appeared far too disheveled.

The group of high-ranking Five Elders and Celestial Dragons, whose clothes were still stained with blood and dust, did not look like world nobles at all!

Besides these Celestial Dragons…

One of the Celestial Dragons particularly caught Akainu's attention.

Because the two Elders held that Celestial Dragon in exceptional respect, they even gave him the best room and personally served him.

The Holy Land of Mary Geoise has been completely destroyed, and it seems that the secrets hidden by the Celestial Dragons can no longer be kept secret. Akainu has also learned about the most mysterious person among the Celestial Dragons.

"I heard his name is Im?"

Kagura Akihara stood beside Akainu, her eyes showing no respect whatsoever for the Celestial Dragons. A mocking smile even graced her lips, like a gloating Marine: "How pathetic. The King of the World, standing above the Five Elders, can't even protect the Holy Land Mary Geoise. If we hadn't arrived, they would be like beggars, unable to even get a sip of water..."

"..."

Akainu's expression also looked rather unpleasant.

after all…

The Celestial Dragons' performance was indeed somewhat poor.

Before the Navy arrived in this area, this group of Celestial Dragons looked like refugees; Im and the Five Elders were just three high-ranking refugees...

"..."

Kizaru couldn't help but glance sideways at Akihara Kagura.

and many more…

Why does it feel a little strange?

Why is Akihara Kagura able to act so gloating?

In the destruction of the Holy Land Mary Geoise, Akihara Kagura was clearly the one who instigated the destruction of the Holy Land. So how come, after saying a few sarcastic words, Akihara Kagura sounded to Kizaru like an unrelated bystander who was just watching the show?

The destruction of the holy site...

You did all of it yourself!

Isn't it all because of you that Im and the Five Elders are in such a sorry state?
