Bab 254: 253 Deal with the Marines
The loud warning quickly echoed across the sea where the Whitebeard Pirate was sailing.
Upon entering this area, the members of the Whitebeard Pirate Group became more alert. After all, they were dealing with the Marine, not just ordinary pirates.
"Oyaji." Marco stood beside Whitebeard.
"Marco, stop the ships and communicate with them. Ask for the person in charge to come out and establish contact"
Whitebeard instructed.
"Stop!"
Marco commanded instantly.
Simultaneously, Marco leaped and flew directly into the air.
Marco shouted to the Marines, "We're the Whitebeard Pirates. We don't want a war with the Marines. We just want to talk. Get your person in charge to come out and have a conversation."
After Marco spoke, Vice Admiral Dirk stepped forward and said, "I am Vice Admiral Dirk, in charge of this Marine Division. May I ask what brings you here?"
"Oyaji."
Marco paused and looked at Whitebeard.
Whitebeard gestured with his eyes, and Marco quickly instructed others to bring out Shiryu, a member of the Blackbeard Pirates.
"Vice Admiral Dirk, have you known this guy before?"
Marco asked with a smile as he positioned Shiryu of the Rain in front of them.
"The former Warden of Impel Down, Shiryu of the Rain!"
Not only Vice Admiral Dirk but even the Marine soldiers recognized him. They were all surprised and angered at the same time
Shiryu, the former Warden of Impel Down, was imprisoned for secretly executing prisoners for his own entertainment. During the jailbreak set by Luffy and Blackbeard in Impel Down, numerous prisoners were set free.
Back then, the Warden Magellan couldn't handle such a large number of people simultaneously. Therefore, he released Shiryu of the Rain and tasked him with helping apprehend the escaped prisoners.
To everyone's surprise, Shiryu of the Rain chose to join the Blackbeard Pirates and, in the process, severely injured Magellan.
In this situation, some Marines even harbored more resentment towards Shiryu of the Rain than Blackbeard, as Blackbeard was seen as an outright villain.
Shiryu of the Rain is a traitor, essentially stabbing Marines in the back. This is the most unacceptable and infuriating betrayal.
Therefore, upon seeing Shiryu of the Rain, these soldiers, even Vice Admiral Dirk, felt a surge of anger, wishing to kill Shiryu right away.
However, as the leader of the Marine Division, Vice Admiral Dirk, he understood that it wasn't just a matter of Shiryu of the Rain. Now that Shiryu was present, he had to consider this carefully.
"Shiryu of the Rain, did you defeat the Blackbeard Pirates?"
Vice Admiral Dirk asked, astonished.
"It looks like Marine is quite familiar with you"
Marco said to Shiryu of the Rain with a smile.
"Keen observation, Vice Admiral Dirk. You guessed it right; the Blackbeard Pirates have been completely wiped out by us!"
Marco declared, each word resonating like thunder in the hearts of everyone present.
The Blackbeard Pirates, despite being the new Four Emperors, are undeniably sea emperors as well.
However, it was effortlessly dismantled by another Four Emperors, or rather, the Pirate King Whitebeard.
This is truly groundbreaking news, capable of shaking the world in less than a day.
Vice Admiral Dirk couldn't help but wipe his sweat. The Pirate king was right in front of him. Even though it was a few hundred meters away, he could feel the majesty of Whitebeard.
Even though Whitebeard hadn't spoken, Vice Admiral Dirk's focus remained on him, not on Marco.
Vice Admiral Dirk noticed Whitebeard's tall, straight figure standing proudly on the bow, his unwavering presence admirable.
Whether true or false, this matter is not insignificant, and certainly not something that can be discussed openly at this stage.
With numerous Marine soldiers present, Vice Admiral Dirk prefers not to further expose this matter.
"I understand. Can you send a representative to the marines branch to discuss this matter with me personally?"
Vice Admiral Dirk asked with solemnity.
"Marco, you can go in and have a chat"
Whitebeard said.
"Sure thing pops"
Marco nodded and then flew into the branch.
Marco entered the branch with Vice Admiral Dirk for a discussion, and the surrounding Marine soldiers remained vigilant against the Whitebeard Pirates.
"Hmph, these guys. Do they really think a few cannons on that city wall can pose a threat to us?"
A commander scoffed as he observed the cannons pointed at them from the Marine city wall.
"Even though our positions are different, there are passionate individuals in the Marine as well. They crave freedom just like us pirates, so there's no need to scorn at them"
Whitebeard reminded him.
"Oyaji, my apologies. I got carried away,"
The man immediately blushed and apologized.
"Guurarara, no need to apologize. Just be mindful of it in the future. You're all my sons, and it's only natural for a father to tolerate his son"
Whitebeard suddenly laughed.
"Oyaji, do you think Marines will agree to our request? After all, we're already a big threat to them. Will they aid us in strengthening our power?"
After Marco had been inside for a while, Jozu couldn't help but ask.
"I don't think Marines will agree either. After all, the Marine and World Government is more afraid of us than those Impel Down prisoners"
Vista added.
Whitebeard smiled slightly. "Well, what you said makes sense, but let's wait for the result. I still believe that Marco can negotiate with them successfully."
"Oyaji, as you mentioned, wouldn't it be better to just attack here? After all, wouldn't all the resources of the Marine branch then be ours?"
At this moment, Edward Weevil eagerly spoke up. Since the battle against Sanjuan Wolf, he had been itching for another fight.
"Shut up, you stupid guy! Pops wants to be the Pirate King of freedom, not the one known for the most brutal fights"
Vista suddenly retorted, giving Edward Weevil a disapproving look.
...
Once Marco entered the Marine Division, he noticed the strong hostility from many Marine soldiers along the way. After all, the war between marines and pirates had been so long, resulting in countless deaths and injuries on both sides. It could be said that the hatred ran as deep as the sea.
Furthermore, pirates and Marines have always been at odds, and now, the captain of the Whitebeard ship has made a grand entrance into the Marine branch. Whatever his purpose may be, it raises eyebrows.
The Marines all harbored anger in their hearts, but because Vice Admiral Dirk was with Marco, they had to forcibly suppress the anger within them.
