On the New World Fire Island, Ace and the others are discussing the affairs of Weibull around the campfire.

Fools don't think about things, and the people around them think that Bista is joking.

However, this suddenly stopped the attack on his side, which was really suspicious.

"For the sake of caution, it's better to let people check it out and prevent it from happening."

Marco also smiled and said cautiously.

"Well, it's to check, we can't passively wait for Weibull to attack, if conditions allow, we still have to deal with this guy as soon as possible.

The Blackbeard Pirates are already very difficult to deal with, and if these two join forces, we are afraid that we will suffer a big loss. ”

Ace nodded in agreement.

"No, these two don't see the possibility of cooperation."

"Hehe, that little old lady named Miss Ba Jin is not a fuel-efficient lamp, and it is not impossible to have her.

It doesn't hurt to ask around. ”

"Okay, I'll have people come over and stare at it."

The Great Vortex Spider Skuyard nodded and said.

At the beginning, he was used by Akainu and almost injured his father Whitebeard, and he has always felt very guilty in his heart, especially in the end, when Daddy Whitebeard died in battle, he once wanted to commit suicide to apologize.

Although he didn't succeed at that time, not many people saw him in action, only Ace and Marco.

And they obviously didn't say it, and when they came back, everyone's attitude towards him was still like a brother.

But he still couldn't forgive himself, and later Ace came to comfort and enlighten him, and slowly let him recover.

Now, in order to keep the Whitebeard Pirates from disbanding, Skuyad is also doing his best, and every time there is a battle, he is at the forefront.

At the same time, he is responsible for the intelligence work of the fleet, and everyone is more at ease when he entrusts the matter to him.

"Well, notify everyone in time if you find something."

"No problem."

Skuyard stood up, greeted the people around him, and left to investigate for himself.

"The spider has changed a lot in this time, and he doesn't talk much.

In the past, he and Joz were the best at parties, but now they all sit there silently, and they drink alone when no one is looking for them. ”

Bista stroked his beard and said with a puzzled expression.

"People are going to become, no matter how big or small.

After Daddy left, everyone changed a lot, including myself.

But don't worry, I'm sure Skuyard will be fine. There are fewer words, but the smile on his face is not less, and he is still very happy to be with everyone, but now it is not as strong as in the past.

Don't worry about these details, come, drink! ”

Marco knew why Skuyad was like this, but since he and Ace didn't say anything at first, he naturally wouldn't reveal any information now.

Life is already not easy, and there is no need to hold on to the mistakes made in the past.

"Haha, you're right, I don't want to. Come, everybody, drink!

I'm going to have to drink it tonight, it's not me on duty anyway.

Aha! ”

"Cunning Bista, knowing that it's my turn to keep vigil, I can't drink more, and I want everyone to drink to their heart's content, is it deliberately greedy for me?" Joz immediately shouted in dissatisfaction, he had always been a heavy drinker, so he could only watch others drink more, which felt too uncomfortable.

"Haha, I don't understand what you're saying, I'm just trying to drink tonight.

Come on, everyone, raise your glasses!

Forget it, it's not so bold, let's drink it all in a jar, I'll come first! ”

After speaking, Bista put down the wine bowl, picked up a jar of wine, and drank it.

"Well, it's rare for Bista to have such a heroic time, usually always Wen Zou Zou, not at all cool.

I'll come with you, and I'll drink it in a jar! ”

Yizang clapped his hands, and then followed with a booze.

"You..."

Joz pointed aggrievedly at Bista and Izo, as well as his companions who were watching the excitement and laughter, his arms trembling and his face aggrieved.

Then he turned his face to Ace, and there was a twinkle of water in his eyes. Such a burly man, he is also fierce and vicious, and he is ashamed of this expression.

"Haha, you're here again.

Drink, I'll keep vigil for you, not once or twice anyway. ”

Ace lifted his foot and kicked Joz's ass lightly, laughing.

"I knew that it was Ace who loved your brother the most!

Bista, today I'll let you know that I'm not calling you the wine king of our pirates.

If you don't drink the fountain in your mouth for a while, I'm not sensible and haven't taken care of you. ”

Joz first put away his aggrieved expression, and praised Ace with a dog's leg.

Then he changed his face like a flip book, immediately switched from a happy state to an arrogant mode, and sat next to Bista with a jar of wine in his hand.

"This living treasure!"

Marco said with a smile and shook his head.

"How are you, the awakening state of the fruit is stable, right?"

"It's been a year, and it's been stable.

When I fought with Titch, I forcibly turned on the state of awakening, which was to let my body receive damage, but it was already healed, don't worry. ”

Ace waved his hand and said lightly.

"You just say it's easy, half a year ago, when you experimented with your awakening ability, your body energy was instantly emptied, and people became skin and bones, and you forgot how long you have been lying in bed?"

Marco said unceremoniously.

"Aha..."

Ace scratched his head and laughed awkwardly, then continued:

"I didn't expect that the awakening of the fruit ability, so many twists and turns, that time was a pure mistake, forget it.

Hasn't it been half a year, and after a month in bed, the second month I will be able to completely control the ability to awaken.

It's just not showing up in front of you, don't worry.

Although I don't dare to say that I can beat this guy Tiqi now, I still have the confidence to fight him. ”

Seeing that Ace was serious, Marco nodded, still deciding to believe the other party's statement.

"As long as you can control it, the one-year period agreed with Lu Gui is coming up.

When they come over, our two pirates will work together to find trouble with the Blackbeard Pirates.

Don't drop the chain then, it will not only be a shame, but also a loss of life. "Haha, before I know it, the appointed time has arrived, and Lu Gui doesn't know how strong it is now."

"You've really made a good friend, and the stronger he is, the better it is for us.

This is a critical period, and the Blackbeard Pirates are not sure when they will attack us again, so we still need to be careful. ”

Marko's face became serious when he said this, although they and the Blackbeard Pirates were relatively safe now, everyone knew that this state would not last long.

"Well, everyone is much more cautious than before, and it's not easy for the Blackbeard Pirates to make any small moves."

"That's what everyone thinks in their hearts, it's more dangerous. The enemy is very cunning, especially someone like Blackbeard.

No, I didn't think much about it at first, but I see that even you think that there will be no problems in the near future, and other people seem to think the same way.

When is man most likely to be defeated? It's time to let your guard down. Titch taught me this, and I can't let him hurt the Pirates again. ”

Marco put down the wine bowl in his hand, and his serious face was a little more cold.

"Maybe you're right, the increase in strength has really put me at ease.

Then do you want to remind Joz that they don't drink too much and stay sober. ”

Ace pondered for a moment, nodded, and then looked at Joz and Bista, who were drinking together, and their companions cheering around them.

"Just keep the two of us on our toes, and when they're so happy, let them make a fuss.

Don't look at them like this, in fact, there are hidden hardships in our hearts, but they don't show it, so we just worry.

It's okay to vent like this, but I want to join in. But you know, I can't put it down. Hehe! ”

At the end, Marco laughed to himself.

"You've just been holding it for too long.

However, thank you Marko, without you to fight ahead, to become the new captain of today's fleet, everyone would not have the ease they have now. ”

Ace said thank you only now, when he was rescued from the Navy Headquarters, he didn't say it to Marco except for saying thank you to the redhead and Lu Gui.

Because the Whitebeard Pirates are a whole, everyone is a family, and there is no need to thank you.

But it's been a year since the top war, and Marco has taken over the position of captain, and there are too many things to worry about, and a year has made him look a few years older.

There are many wrinkles at the corners of the eyes, and even some gray hair appears on the sideburns.

Ace saw all this in their eyes, and their hearts were full of shame for Marko, who usually didn't say it, but today they took this opportunity to say it.

"Family, say nothing thanks.

It's everyone's joint efforts that we have a moment of peace today, don't put the high hat on my head, it's too heavy, I can't stand it. ”

Marco waved his hand absently.

"Alright, you watch them here, I'll go find Skuyard and tell him about it."

"Okay, then you all be careful, and notify me in time if you really encounter a situation."

Ace nodded.

"Got it, let's go."

Marco got up, said hello to the few people who noticed him, and then hurried in the direction where the big vortex had left.
