200th attempt! Mark finally heard something from the tree it was a ringing sound playing the same sound again and again.
A picture suddenly appeared inside Mark's head, a picture of an island with greenish and darkish fruits that grew almost two meters, this island I've seen in it the cannon before!! It's in the New World! Mark's facial expression kept changing back and forth.
The island! He actually knew where it was, but the problem was that the island was governed by the Whitebeard pirates!
"Do I really have to face them?" Thought Mark he didn't really know what to do, he couldn't just rush to the new world when his crew wasn't even ready yet, how was he supposed to fight one of the four Yonko's with a half baked crew? That's right I just have to rush my plans a bit quicker then.
After staying beside the tree for 3 hours straight he finally moved away from it and turned around to face his current crew.
Mark looked at Flint and Yuri!
Flint was obviously a delusional person thinking that he could bring justice to people who were stronger than himself while Yuri kept on assisting him even though she knew what he was doing was wrong. But Mark didn't care anymore, he will have to do with them if he wants to reach the Grand line before everything was too late.
"So you self-proclaimed marine and you Yuri join my crew." Said Mark with a smirk on his.
"No, I'm a marine and your a pirate, we can't see eye to eye." Answered Flint in a flat overbearing tone as if had forgotten the beatdown Satyr Jr. Gave him not so long ago.
"What about you Yuri?" Asked Mark in a slow calmed voice, he was trying to make Yuri as comfortable as he could with his warm tone.
"No, I'm a commanding officer under Admiral Flint!" Yuri answered in a cold voice.
Mark looked at both of them, for a while before sighing they made they chose a guess.
"Let's go!" Said Mark to Satyr Jr. And Capone Bege before moving towards the docks.
Before reaching the ship Mark turned around to see a girl running towards them from far away.
"I'm coming with you guys!" Said Yuri in a pained voice. It's obvious that she had fought with Flint for a while before deciding to join the ship.
"Welcome! welcome!" Said Satyr Jr hurriedly, to be honest, he still wanted to fight Yuri just to see if she was actually stronger than him or not.
After the ship set sail, it turned towards the Grand Line.
