The waitress at the front desk blushed involuntarily.
He's so hot!
And so gentle at the same time!
It's my type!
After just one meeting, the waitress was completely smitten with Varen. It was love at first sight.
Of course, in layman's terms, it meant she was "infatuated."
On the other side, the store manager had quickly counted the treasures on board and made accurate calculations.
However, at this moment, a flag gradually enlarged from the end of the coastline.
People who live near the sea naturally know this is a sign of an approaching ship.
And the sight of this flag was very familiar to the surrounding store managers.
On the high-hanging pirate flag, there was a crescent-shaped skull.
Others might not recognize this flag, but it was impossible for him not to recognize it!
The reason was simple—this flag itself was the one that protected his shop: the flag of the Whitebeard Pirates!
Of course, it would be fine if it was a pirate group flying the Whitebeard flag, but this was not the case. The ship flying the Whitebeard flag in front of them was the main ship of the Whitebeard Pirates—the Moby Dick!
In other words, Whitebeard himself was on board the ship in front of them at this moment.
"Whitebeard Pirates? I didn't expect it to be such a coincidence, or is the other party already targeting me?"
At this moment, Varen walked out of the store and walked to this place without anyone knowing when.
Compared to seeing with his eyes, Varen paid more attention to his sensory nerves and Observation Haki.
Although his Observation Haki was not as good as those special abilities that could predict the future, the range of his perception was extremely vast. Perhaps this was Varen's talent in Observation Haki.
Shinigami's sensory nerves combined with Observation Haki's sensory ability made Varen's sensory range stronger than Enel, who used the Goro Goro no Mi and Observation Haki to explore the entire Sky Island in the original story.
Varen could not only perceive the situation within an entire island but could even extend out to a distance of ten nautical miles.
It was precisely because of this that Varen left the store and arrived at the coast ahead of time to visit Whitebeard on the Moby Dick.
"Hey, aren't you joking? Are you really going to visit Whitebeard?"
Seeing Varen's appearance, the store manager's eyes widened in disbelief.
He had originally thought Varen was just talking, after all, no one would know his whereabouts after leaving here. Even if he didn't visit Whitebeard himself, no one would likely say much.
After all, it's Whitebeard we're talking about!
"Isn't this a very simple and easy-to-understand thing?" Varen asked the store manager rhetorically.
Then he walked directly to a small wooden boat nearby.
Using Reiatsu, Varen pushed the wooden boat towards the Moby Dick.
"Brother, although we never swallow other people's money here, there is nothing we can do if the person dies. Are you sure you want to do this?"
The store manager was still a little worried.
As Whitebeard's enemy and also a Marine, no one in the room felt Varen would leave Whitebeard's ship alive.
After all, if your hands are stained with the blood of Whitebeard's sons, it already means you and Whitebeard will never be reconciled.
"I won't trouble you, manager. And I won't die here," Varen responded lightly.
As for death?
Sorry, he had no such plans.
"Interesting. Are you sure you can retreat even in the face of the Whitebeard Pirates?"
Seeing this, the store manager narrowed his eyes.
He didn't think Varen was looking for death. Could a fool kill so many pirates in the entire city of sin? Those were tens of thousands of pirates, all slaughtered within a month.
"Whitebeard Pirates, I've wanted to meet them for a long time. The biggest ruler of this New World outside of Marine." Varen witnessed the approaching pirate ship.
The flag of the pirate ship could be seen from the store manager's place, which was enough to show that the Whitebeard Pirates were not far from here.
In the blink of an eye, a small wooden boat so tiny it could be ignored finally collided with the Moby Dick.
Standing on the small wooden boat, Varen couldn't see the entire Moby Dick even if he looked up.
The size of the hull alone was enough to deter most ordinary pirates.
"There are quite enough of them, Whitebeard, on board," Varen thought silently.
In terms of numbers, the Whitebeard Pirates were indeed the largest.
But in terms of average combat power, it was also the worst.
Because it was too short-sighted, for those guys who wanted to be pirates or had no way to turn back but were afraid, the Whitebeard Pirates was definitely the best place to go.
Because the Whitebeard Pirates protected their own, were united, and had a large number of people, almost no one dared to provoke this behemoth, especially considering Whitebeard's power, which was extra reassuring.
In addition, what Whitebeard wanted was family members, not powerful subordinates. He had almost no requirements for the people below, making the threshold quite low.
On the deck of the Moby Dick
"It's really that Marine! He dared to come to the front of the Moby Dick on his own initiative. He's an interesting guy." An extremely rough voice came from the deck.
It was a very strong and burly man.
There were black hairs like those of an animal on his body, a big knife in his hand, and very clear tattoos on his arms.
If others saw him, they would recognize that the person in front of them was a captain of the Whitebeard Pirates!
