Chapter 314 Pineapple
...
"Ok!"
"Yeah, it's done, oh ya ki!"
On the bow of the White Whale, a young man with a golden pineapple haircut was talking on a Den Den Mushi in his hand. He had a dagger on his waist, his purple jacket was bare-chested, and there was a tattoo on his chest that looked like an anchor.
"We, Whitebeard, have already hoisted the flag of ours on Fishman Island! Those small pirates will never dare to do anything abusive on the island again!"
The young man was full of energy and said with a confident smile.
"Gulala! Well done Marco, you are worthy of being my good son. Come back when you are done. The Moby Dick and I will be waiting for you at the entrance to the New World!"
Den Den Mushi with a white crescent-shaped mustache laughed and said.
"No problem, Dad. We are ready to go back! Uh??..."
Marco looked at the tall figure on the opposite deck and couldn't help rubbing his eyes.
"Ah? This!?"
"What's wrong Marco? Are you in any danger?"
Marco opened his eyes, which were usually half-open and listlessly, staring blankly at the departing ship, his brain in a state of shutdown.
...
"Marco?"
There was no response for a long time, so Den Den Mushi asked loudly and anxiously.
"Ah, Dad, I'm fine, it's just..."
Marco came back to his senses. He looked around and confirmed that he was alone. He scratched his head and asked in a low voice with some embarrassment:
"Dad, you're out there... um, is there anything you forgot to tell us?"
"Why are you asking this suddenly? We are a family. There is nothing I need to hide from you. What did you see, Marco?"
Den Den Mushi asked with a frown.
"Ah, Dad, don't get me wrong. I just seemed to see you when you were younger! You look so much alike, so I wanted to ask if we have any brothers who are living outside?"
Marco smiled bitterly and asked tactfully after organizing his words.
As a veteran member of the Whitebeard Pirates, Marco has followed Whitebeard Newgate for a long time. He was confident that he was not wrong. The old man's extraordinary height alone was not something that ordinary people could achieve, not to mention the iconic white crescent beard and long golden hair. If there was no blood relationship, it would have to be a coincidence to have so many characteristics at the same time. The man just now really looked like Whitebeard when he was young.
Whitebeard also came to his senses and thought carefully about whether he had accidentally made a mistake in the flower field...
wrong!
I am Whitebeard! I am a man who values family the most. If something like that really happened, why would I let an orphan and a widow suffer out there? I am not like that bastard Roger!
"Gulala, Marco, I'm sure there's no illegitimate child forgotten out there. Maybe they just happen to look alike. But it's really interesting that even you think he looks a lot like me, Whitebeard? When he comes to the New World and makes a name for himself, we'll see if he's suitable to be my son!"
"Okay daddy!"
New World, aboard the Moby Dick
"Gulala, gulp, gulp, gulp!"
After Whitebeard hung up the phone, he happily took a few big gulps of wine.
(I don’t know when the second half was called the New World. From now on, I will just call it the New World. It’s inconvenient to mention the second half of the Grand Line every day.)
...
Fishman Island
"Okay, Tom and Kokoro are going back to visit their relatives. These are souvenirs and Baileys. I've prepared them for you. I'll leave the discussion of cooperation to you. Mosang Funi, Ajin and Daxiong will go with you. They are enough to deal with any situation. The other few with evil faces won't join in the fun. I'll take them to the cafe to have some tea with the mermaid ladies."
After landing on Fishman Island, Captain Gol couldn't wait to say.
Weible, Moria and Barrett were lying down and shot.
"Captain, when are we going to recruit my compatriots?"
Tom asked, this was his top priority when he came back this time.
"Haha, if you hadn't told me I would have almost forgotten what I was doing. Don't worry, I'll just take a stroll."
Ger said with a smile.
"Well, then I'll go back and tell everyone the news. They will definitely be very happy to have the chance to see it on the sea, hahaha."
Tom was very happy to find a good way out for his compatriots who had always longed to live on the sea.
"Well, merfolk are born good sailors. Although we can afford tens of thousands of them, we can't get rich overnight. We should do it step by step. We should recruit two to three thousand people for the first batch. We should select the honest ones and reject those with bad intentions."
Ger reminded.
Tom nodded.
"I understand Captain, I think so too."
"Okay, that's it for now. I'll go experience the local customs first. When I come to Fishman Island, I must adapt to the local customs. Only after a deeper understanding can we communicate better, haha."
Gel said as he was about to set off.
"Captain, do you need me to lead the way for you?"
Kokoro asked caringly.
"No, no, we're just strolling around."
"By the way, Tom, are you going to Fishman Street to recruit people? I'll come find you when I've had enough fun."
"Um, well, Captain, the Fishman Street is quite chaotic. It has long been robbed and kidnapped by human pirates. Most of the fishmen there are somewhat hostile to... humans. It may not be suitable!"
Tom said, frowning.
Although he also felt that he shouldn't kill his compatriots in Fishman Street with just one sentence, he had to consider Gel first. Fishman Street was a mixed bag, and Tom had to tell the truth. Otherwise, if these people really did something bad, it would not only harm everyone, but also ruin the rare opportunity that the Fishmen had in hundreds of years.
Unknowingly, Tom has placed his hopes of returning the fish-men and mermen to the surface of the sea and integrating into human society on the omnipotent Captain Gill.
"It's okay. I know. Then you will be responsible for recruiting some honest and capable people on Fishman Island who are willing to live with us on the sea. I will go to Fishman Street to check the situation myself."
Ger said with a smile.
Are you kidding? None of the more powerful fishmen like Tiger, Jinbe, etc. were born on Fishman Island. They all grew up in Fishman Street. So how could they not go to Fishman Street when they want to recruit people?
"Okay, then Captain, please be safe."
Tom wanted to remind Gel that they were in the deep sea ten thousand meters deep, and that humans would be at a great disadvantage if they fought with the mermen. But then he thought that Weevil was even better at playing in the water than the mermen, so he didn't say anything more.
"This is bubble coral. You can use it in places with water. Remember to keep it."
Kokoro took out several pieces of red coral reefs and distributed them to everyone, and demonstrated how to use them.
Everyone began to act separately.
