Chapter 389: Strife II

The Navy made a deal with Whitebeard to allow some of the crew of the Whitebeard Pirates to enter the Chambord Islands to find out Ace's news.

There is no other reason for this agreement, Whitebeard needs to know Ace's whereabouts, and the same navy is creating an opportunity, a chance for Whitebeard to clash with Kaido. Without Whitebeard's restraints, his crew came into contact with the Kaido crew who had been in battle, and it was obvious that both sides would be on top, which also led to the possibility of conflict, which was exactly what the navy was happy to see. Of course, the navy is not stupid, if the living force entering the island is too strong, it is prone to unexpected situations, so a restriction was imposed on this agreement, only three crew members of the captain rank were allowed.

For the sake of both sides, this agreement was not objected to and was formalized. And the three captains of Whitebeard's crew who were appointed in this case were the captain of the first team "Immortal" Marko, the captain of the third team "Diamond" Joz, and the captain of the fifth team "Foil" Bista. The three of them are the most outstanding existence in the Whitebeard Pirates, and it is precisely because of this that Whitebeard is relieved to agree to this agreement of the navy.

An inconspicuous location on Island 13, a tavern with ordinary decoration, the name of the tavern "Intimate Tavern" is greatly written on the signboard, and the ambiguous tavern name and signboard have not changed and are full of ** patterns, giving people a feeling that the nature of this tavern is about the type of transaction between men and women. And the place where the evil spirits in the color should have lingered was gathered at this moment, and more precisely, it should be enough to make the entire sea shake.

"Is Ace really here?" Joz whispered, unable to determine the veracity of the answer, and simply questioned, or should he have confirmed what Bista had said.

"There should be no mistake, judging from the surveillance pattern of the phone bug I obtained, it is obvious that Ace was brought here by a man and did not leave. You see that, too. "Bista is authentic for sure. Although the method of obtaining this phone bug is simply inexplicable, it simply solves a group of people who come to find trouble, and obtains the phone bug from them, and then just gets the information they want from the phone bug.

Bista was sure it was a trap, but the image displayed by the phone bug wasn't fake, and he believed... Ace must have been here before. The only thing he can't be sure of is just... What kind of difficulties and obstacles will lie ahead, but this is a point that can be ignored for the Whitebeard Pirates. Because the Whitebeard Pirates family is more important than everything! Even if it's a trap, they're not afraid!

"Looks like the trouble is coming." Marco said calmly, but with a solemn look on his face, he looked at the huge figure that appeared in front of him, and the wound on his chest couldn't help but ache faintly. That man was Jack of the Drought, and in the battle at the auction the other day, the two of them had lost both. Marko's chest was hit by Jack's Shotl knife with the armed color domineering attached, even Marco, who has the nickname "Immortal Bird", in the face of the powerful lethality of the armed color domineering against the Devil Fruit, his recovery ability has been restrained, and he can recover but cannot fully recover in a short time.

"You're in. . . Here it is! Jack let out a roar of rage, like the roar of an angry beast in a moment of madness, filled with brutal rage. His palms and naked body were stained with blood that had not dried up, and it was clear that someone had become food for his anger. After the roar was over, Jack took out the Shortel knife from behind him, held one in one hand, and sent a surprise attack at Marco and them.

Seeing Jack launch a surprise attack, and with his twin blades in hand, Bista stepped forward. As a swordsman, it is a default rule to take on the challenge of another swordsman of your enemy. Bista also drew his twin blades, grabbed the hilt with his powerful palm, and struck a pose ready to fight.

"I cut that guy's left shoulder, but be careful with his strength." Marco reminded in the back.

"Engage an injured opponent while having a companion remind him of his strengths... This is not honorable for a swordsman. Bista chuckled, but his eyes were wary.

Joz acquiesced to Bista's heads-up move, and he stood still, not making any moves. But a third of his body has turned into a brilliant diamond, and he will not hesitate to strike if Bista has a tendency to lose.

Bang.. Bang bang! Jack ran alone, but it was like a group of wild beasts running on the ground, and the ground trembled. His body was huge, and it seemed to be several times larger than his original appearance, but the huge figure did not mean that his speed was slow, but he approached in an instant, and the huge figure drove the same huge force, pressing the Shotl knife and slashing down. The nimble Shortel knife was originally intended to be used as a sudden counterattack, an instant response to the enemy like a crescent moon, but under the power and might of Jack, it became a "machete." ”

Bista didn't panic, he quietly adjusted his breathing the moment the Shotl knife slashed at him, and reacted in an instant, countless petals appeared around his body, and the petals danced around him.

"Petals?" Jack frowned, he didn't like flower petals, it made his nose uncomfortable, and although the flowers didn't smell choking, they still made him feel uncomfortable. Feeling uncomfortable and frenzied by the injury, Jack unceremoniously pressed down the Shortel knife and slashed at the man who was making him uncomfortable.

Bista did not panic, the moment the knife was pressed, the petals kept avoiding the side under the drive of the air current, and what Bista did was to follow and imitate the trajectory of the petals, easily avoiding the Shortel knife slashed by Jack.

The blade of the Shotl knife took Jack's palm, and it sank into the ground, leaving a crack tens of meters long in the ground.

Bista was slightly frightened, and the force surprised him. He just avoided Jack's attack, and slashed the blade into the corner of his armpit, which was enough to make people lose their strength, but Jack still caused such a power when he was attacked like this, you can imagine how terrifying his strength is. It's no wonder that Marco reminded him of this point in a special way.

Bista's body can be called strong, but in front of Jack, who has swelled several times, it looks small.

After Jack's attack failed, he instantly pulled out the Shotl knife from the ground and swept it towards Bista, but Bista was far superior to him in dexterity, especially when the body contrast was obvious, and it was more difficult for Jack to attack him. On the contrary, in the case of attack, it was frequently counterattacked by Bista. The blade slashed through Jack's steely skin, cutting through the holes, but immediately Jack showed the resilience of Marko, the "immortal bird", or more precisely, the recovery ability of animal fruits. The wound that has just been suffered is only a blink of an eye and the scar heals.

"It's really troublesome, animal fruit ability." Bista was forced back by a sudden sweep, leaving a deep mark on the ground, and said heartily. With almost no less than 100 wounds inflicted, Jack not only did not show any signs of retreat, but became more and more courageous.

"Need help?" Joz couldn't help but ask.

"No, I'm a swordsman." Bista unceremoniously rejects Joz's suggestion, and the swordsman believes in challenging the strong and fighting the strong. This collision of skill and power is what Bista craves. It is only with this belief that he can explore a stronger and more extreme kendo concept.

"Joz, you go look for Ace in the tavern, I'll watch over here." Marco said. In terms of speed, Marco has an absolute advantage over Joz, in other words, Marco can rescue faster than Joz. So why not use the free combat power Joz to explore the tavern, especially since Joz has a strong defense, even if there are other situations in the tavern, even traps, Marco thinks Joz can withstand it.

Joz understood what Marco meant, and he nodded silently and walked quickly towards the tavern.

This contemptuous attitude infuriated Jack.

Jack roared violently, in the case of not being able to attack Bista, Jack took measures to continue to expand his body, the palm of his hand expanded again, the two Shotl knives in his hand were no longer suitable, Jack did not hesitate to throw the weapon at Bista, the sharp blade made a breaking sound in the air, and wiped Bista on his body and left a blood stain.

Instead of showing a trace of pain, Bista slid open the wound on his body, but instead of showing a trace of pain, what welled up in his heart was... Wrath! As a swordsman, he just gave up the blade like this? This means that he doesn't care about his blade at all, but simply uses it as a tool, which is true for the vast majority of people, the knife is originally a tool used to kill people, but... Bista, as a swordsman, can't stand this!

Jack's body continued to expand, and he could no longer maintain his human form, and a huge mammoth appeared on the island, with its head held high and its proboscis roaring in the sky, and its huge thick limbs stepped on the island, making the whole island of 13 tremble, and sank to the bottom of the water twenty or thirty centimeters.

The solemnity on Marco's face was even worse, the last time he was injured, Jack hadn't yet transformed into this form. Under normal circumstances, when an animal fruit ability transforms into an animal form, the ability of the whole body can be significantly improved, which also means that Jack is even more tricky.

"Bista! Can you still hold on? ”

Bista nodded silently, answering Marco's question.

Marco had to remain silent under his answer, he and he were family, so as a family member, he could only give him persistent encouragement, but Marko's arms had turned into the form of blue wings, and he was ready to support Bista when he was in crisis, even if he was against it... It's the lives of the family that matter, Marco said.

Bista didn't fight back passively like before, and after Jack entered the animal form, he took the initiative to attack. He rushed straight over, seemingly without any skillful steps, but when Jack launched any attack, he skillfully avoided it, and the petals that appeared around him seemed to have become his sensitive skin, just like a nervous person who withdrew his hand at the moment of touching the boiling water, and the moment he attacked and touched the petals, his body involuntarily reacted and flashed.

With his pace, Bista also made up for his lack of attack with his unique sword-swinging skills, as his blade cut straight through his skin, and after retracting the blade, he attacked again to the original location. The position of the blade slash accurately coincided with the original wound, and even Jack's defense was too strong to withstand such an attack.

"Woo...!" Jack let out a roar of rage, and with this roar, the enraged mammoth showed his true strength, and when he lacked speed, he attached his strength to the trunk and converted it into speed. The elephant trunk, which had a speed of only one, more than tripled in an instant after applying force, and Bista didn't have time to react to this sudden change in speed, even if his petals could react, but when his body couldn't keep up with his thoughts, everything seemed meaningless.

Seeing that the giant trunk was about to hit Bista, Marco rushed to the battlefield and kicked it from a lateral angle to change the angle of the trunk, causing it to deviate from its trajectory and slam it at the island.

Rumble!

Under this blow, the entire island tilted to one side, and the trunk of the elephant split the entire island in two like a sharp blade, and its powerful lethality made people gasp.

Bista came back from his stunned stupor, and in an instant pulled away, he put away his impetuous thoughts, and looked at Jack cautiously.

"Be careful, this guy's strength is terrifying." Marco looked at the cracked island under his feet and couldn't help but understand.

“... This time I was careless. Bista said.

However, before their astonishment could end, Joz flew upside down from the "Intimacy Tavern", shattering a corner of the huge diamond's body and flying upside down into the distance. When Joz landed on the ground, he turned his whole body into diamonds, withstanding most of the impact, but even then, when he stopped after dragging hundreds of meters on the ground, he couldn't help but spit blood.

"Joz!"

"How is that possible!"

Marco, who has always been calm, did not show such a great sense of consternation even when the island was cut off by Jack's blow, because in his opinion, cutting off the island was not at the same level at all than smashing the diamonds on Joz's body.

“.. Hades.. Riley! Joz said in a deep voice.
