Wano Country, Onigashima.
"I'm sorry, Captain Kaido, but I couldn't complete the mission you gave me."
Jhin knelt down on one knee, lowered his head and apologized to Kaido.
Hearing that Jhin failed to fight Yamato back, and looking at the bandage wrapped around Jhin's chest, Kaido couldn't help but be a little surprised.
Although his idiot son was not weak in strength, when he was alone on the sea, facing Jhin with the ability to fly, the odds of winning for both sides should be only 10 to 10.
"Jin, tell me slowly, what exactly happened, and how did you get injured?"
Jhin didn't hold anything back, and immediately told Kaido everything about his encounter with everyone in the White Group at the critical moment when he was about to bring the two of them back.
What Jhin didn't expect was that when Kaido heard that his daughter was taken away by the Whitebeards, he didn't get angry because of it. Instead, he focused on Ornn:
"In other words, my idiot son has always had another phantom beast kid assisting him? No wonder there was no trace of him in the previous month."
After all, having followed Kaido for many years, Jhin quickly guessed Kaido’s thoughts and took the initiative to say:
"Are you going to check his identity? Holdem has been stationed in Boluo Town before. I guess that kid is from Boluo Town."
"No" Kaido denied Jhin's guess:
"Don't forget that Yamato left Onigashima after untying the handcuffs. Those handcuffs should be this kid's handiwork...
Aren't all the craftsmen who tried to escape the ghost island imprisoned in Tudon? Quinn was asked to check who was missing one by one according to the factory's previous records. "
With Kaido's order, his men immediately got busy. In less than half a day, Orn's detailed information was transmitted to Kaido's document:
"It was actually that guy from Barty who brought it back to Onigashima? Is he blind? He could actually recognize a phantom beast that is powerful enough to use magma as an ordinary goat fruit."
After reading Ornn's detailed information, Kaido couldn't help but become furious.
The current "Drought" Barty is the captain of a pirate group that was defeated by Kaido more than ten years ago. Kaido promoted him because of his good strength and his great contribution in the battle against Moria. He became the "drought" on the big billboard.
However, after this guy became a drought, not only did he not know how to be grateful, but he also acted more and more arrogantly and rudely.
He often obeys the orders given by Kaido, and often uses his status as a "big billboard" to take cards from Kaido's collaborators.
Kaido was already very dissatisfied with this guy. Now that he found out that this fool not only let go of a fantasy beast type user, but also indirectly caused his precious son to escape from the ghost island, he immediately ordered him to be demoted to the flying six cells. :
"Let Jack take over Drought's position temporarily, and as for this idiot Barty... let him lead his men to be responsible for chasing Yamato and that kid back.
I will give him half a year. If he can do it, he will be reinstated. If he can't do it, then there is no need for this loser to continue living! "
…………
Aoun and Yamato knew nothing about what happened on Onigashima.
They are currently carrying the food and water they need from the Moby-Dick to Fish-Man Island.
In half an hour, they will take a boat to follow the "Sun" of the Sun Pirates to Fish-Man Island.
In the captain's room of the Moby Dick, Marco looked through the portholes at Ornn and Yamato who were busy going back and forth, and couldn't help but ask:
"Dad, why did you let Orn and the others get off the ship? Wouldn't it be better to let them stay on the ship?
Although they are still a little immature now, their abilities are very good and their talents are visible to the naked eye. They may become captains of the 17th and 18th divisions in the future. "
Whitebeard was leaning on his head, closing his eyes, and taking a diaphragm injection. When he heard this, he smiled and opened his eyes:
"Marco, you have really grown up, and you dare to doubt my decision."
Marco was shocked when he heard this and quickly explained:
"Dad, I don't mean that..."
Whitebeard interrupted him:
"Dad is not angry. On the contrary, he is very pleased that you have such an idea and do not agree with all my decisions mechanically.
Dad is old. The future belongs to you young people after all. Dad needs you to think more so that you can continue to protect this pirate flag after dad is gone. "
"Dad, what are you talking about? Your body is still strong." Marco's eyes were a little red.
Seeing this, Whitebeard reached out and patted his head:
"Why are you crying? Birth, aging, sickness and death are human nature... Speaking of that boy, Marco, you must have noticed that he didn't have much awe when facing me.
He is not as arrogant and ignorant as those ignorant boys. On the contrary, he is very keen.
There are very few people on the sea who are as sharp and unwilling to give in to others as he is.
Although he has not awakened his overlord color yet, dad, I am very optimistic about him
So, since he has no intention of becoming my son, why don't I make an investment while he is still very weak?
Taking him to Fishman Island and giving him a permanent pointer is just a matter of words for me, but if he can grow up in the future, the rewards I can reap will be immeasurable. "
Marco looked at his father who was slowly talking about his thoughts in front of him, but his attention was not at all on Ornn that his father mentioned.
At this time, he only had one thought in his mind:
Dad, you’re not old yet!
…………
More than half a month later, Paradise, the sea near Twin Gorges.
On the medium-sized sailboat that was not spacious, after Orn stopped a round of blacksmithing, he took a look at the huge lighthouse that was vaguely visible in the distance and the huge red mountains that towered into the clouds in the distance. He got up and entered the cabin and said to Yamato:
“We’re about to reach the Twin Gorges. After passing the Twin Gorges, we’ll see Levi’s Mountain, also known as the Upside Down Mountain.
When the time comes, remember to take the seasickness medicine Marco left for you in advance, not only because the road ahead will be incredibly bumpy, but also because I alone cannot control this ship to successfully pass the Upside Down Mountain. "
In the cabin, Yamato, who was originally looking gloomy, finally cheered up a bit after hearing these words:
"Are we finally here? This journey has bored me to death!"
boring?
After hearing this, Aoun subconsciously glanced at the sun flag hanging on the mast.
This is the pirate flag of the Sun Pirates, a gift given to him and Yamato by Jinbei before he left.
If it weren't for the flag of the Shichibukai that deterred various navy pirates all the way, they would never have been able to reach the Twin Gorges in such a "boring" manner...or in other words, it would have been impossible to reach the Twin Gorges at all.
Shaking his head and giving up his plan to preach, Aoun first took off the pirate flag and put it away, and then said to Yamato:
"Don't worry, once we reach Sihai and don't have to worry about your father's people discovering our traces, I guarantee that the next trip will be exciting."
