Chapter 492: Encounter
The Moby Dick.
The Whitebeard Pirates saw the latest news.
Marco raised his eyebrows and looked at the news in the newspaper. He rolled his eyes and said, “Morgan news is getting worse. The war between the two Yonko(Four Emperors) pirates groups can only be described in one sentence…”
“Huh?”
Ace couldn’t help but curiously look at Marco.
Marco handed the newspaper to Ace and said, “The guys with red hair and animals fought in Punk Hazard, and Shanks finally retreated. It seems like the Beast Pirates won.”
“This is a matter of course.”
Sasuke looked at the wanted poster mixed in the newspaper and looked at the yellow-haired youth. His expression slowly became a bit absent-minded, and his face gradually revealed a touch of nostalgia.
On that wanted poster, there was a silly young man.
The chief inspector/vice-captain of the Beast Pirates, Uzumaki Naruto the Nine-Tailed Demon Fox; Reward: 520,000,000 Beli; DEAD or ALIVE.
Naruto’s bounty hasn’t changed because the marine was still not clear about Naruto’s strength, but Sasuke was well aware, and there was a hint of worry on his face.
‘This idiot…’
‘Was he also pulled to this world by Uehara?’
Uehara arranged for Naruto to join the beast pirates. Obviously, Naruto was the opponent that Uehara chose for him.
“Uzumaki Naruto…”
Portgas D. Ace scratched the back of his head and looked curiously at the wanted poster in Sasuke’s hand, “This name…”
“He was a teammate when I was still a ninja.”
Sasuke was still staring at Naruto, who was smiling foolishly on the wanted poster. He snorted coldly and said, “Humph… A loser… Do you really think he can compete with me?”
“It doesn’t sound convincing at all…”
Ace laughed and hugged Sasuke’s shoulder. He chuckled and said, “But I remember that when Sasuke scolded me in the past, you always used him as a bad example!”
“No…”
Sasuke shook his head and turned to look at Ace. He was a little angry, “I thought you could still be saved, but now I realize that you are even more idiotic than him…”
“Hey, hey, hey, this is too much!”
“Forget it…”
Sasuke rubbed his forehead and shook his head, “Why should I compare the two idiots…”
One or two…
Nothing much!
No, there were still some differences.
Naruto was definitely stronger than Ace. Moreover, his combat instincts were somewhat astonishing. The two of them were the reincarnation of Indra and Asura. Sasuke firmly believed that Naruto would not fall too far behind him.
That loser…
He had been chasing him!
Moreover, Uehara would definitely not send Naruto over for no reason. It was obvious that Uehara had confidence in Naruto.
Thinking of this, Sasuke slowly put away the wanted poster. He looked at Ace and asked in a low voice, “How far are we from Fishman Island?”
“Oh, very soon?”
Portgas D. Ace scratched the back of his head, “This route is different from the route we used to travel to Fishman Island. We should find a place to go down after the coating. We should be able to arrive tomorrow…”
“Don’t think about it.”
Sasuke shook his head. His eyes fell on the sea, and his voice gradually became cold, “Ace, we can’t go to Fishman Island anymore. The enemy we are going to face today might appear…”
If the Whitebeard pirates went to Fishman Island…
The war might involve Kisame.
According to the personality of Uehara, he would never allow the war to affect his subordinates, who had been following him for a long time.
That guy Uehara definitely has the ability to control war, and he will definitely block the war outside of Fishman Island!
The speed of the newspaper was a bit late…
According to the calculation, the Beast Pirates should have started to prepare to stop them in this area…
Sasuke slowly closed his eyes. His perception instantly detected the change. The next second, his eyes were fixed on the sea!
Under the sea…
Two huge ships floated up from the bottom of the sea!
In Sasuke’s perception, there was a very familiar chakra, as well as the aura of Kaido.
It was not only Sasuke who found the enemy in Moby Dick…
Whitebeard Edward Newgate slowly took off the infusion tube from his arm. After reaching out to hold the naginata next to his seat, his face revealed a forthright smile, “Gurararara… Little ones, there are guests coming!”
“All on alert!”
The warning whistle spread throughout Moby Dick!𝒇re𝐞w𝐞𝚋𝒏𝚘ѵeƖ c𝗼𝑚
In the next moment, the entire Moby dick moved as soon as they heard the news. Figures appeared on the deck one by one. Anyone with Kenbunshoku Haki(Observation Haki) was sensing the enemy.
As the two large ships under the sea got closer and closer to them, they also sensed a powerful enemy coming!
Crash…
The waves on the surface of the sea surged!
Two huge ships covered in coating suddenly floated out of the sea, one on the left and the other on the right and directly surrounding the flagship, Mody Dick. The moment it floated out of the sea, the coating instantly shattered!
The flag on these two ships was the symbol of the Beast Pirates!
In the face of Whitebeard, who had Gura Gura no Mi(Tremor-Tremor Fruit), Kaido was very clear that as long as he couldn’t get close to the Moby dick, he could only be a target for Whitebeard to use Gura Gura no Mi(Tremor-Tremor Fruit)’s ability!
Therefore, after the Beast Pirates repelled the Red Hair Pirates, under the command of Kaido, the shipwright hurriedly coated the hull. After the coating, they could dive into the depths of the sea and gradually approach the Whitebeard Pirates flagship, Moby Dick!
Kaido’s plan succeeded.
The two Beast Pirate ships directly surrounded the Moby dick. If there was a gunfight, the Beast pirates had a huge advantage.
Whitebeard didn’t care at all; he slowly walked to the railing of the ship and looked at the tall Kaido on the enemy ship. He couldn’t help but smile.
“Gurararara…”
Whitebeard looked up at the solemn Kaido and said with a smile, “Kaido, we haven’t seen each other for a long time, have we?”
“Humph…”
Kaido snorted.
Just as Kaido was about to reply, Naruto, who was standing beside him, waved his arm excitedly, “Sasuke! Sasuke! I’m here to find you!”
“Naruto!”
On the Moby Dick.
Sasuke’s face turned black; his face flashed a touch of anger while staring at the yellow-haired youth on the ship.
‘Naruto, this idiot…’
‘Always able to disrupt the rhythm of the battlefield!’
‘Doesn’t this guy know that this is the wartime of the Beast pirates and the Whitebeard Pirates? Why did this idiot jump out to steal the limelight?’
‘He doesn’t know how to be a spy…’
Did they ever teach him how to keep a low profile?
“Sasuke!”
Naruto ignored Sasuke’s thoughts. His figure flew up and instantly jumped off the ship, standing on the sea!
Naruto raised his head and looked at Sasuke on the Moby Dick. His face showed a touch of nostalgia and frustration, “It’s been a long time!”
“Idiot!”
Sasuke’s face darkened. He stared at Naruto on the sea and couldn’t help but say, “Don’t act cool in front of me! The two of us haven’t met for less than a year…”
“Ahahahaha, is that so?”
Naruto scratched his head and raised his head with a smile, “You are ahead of me by a year… But now I have caught up, Sasuke!”
“Eh?”
Portgas D. Ace was the first to lose his patience. He glanced at Naruto on the surface of the sea and then looked at Sasuke beside him.
“Sasuke, that person can also stand on the surface of the sea!”
“It’s just stepping on water. It’s just the basic skills of a ninja…”
Sasuke’s face was full of arrogance. He sneered and said, “Hmph, it took that idiot a long time to finally learn to tread on water…”
After saying this, Sasuke remembered the truth about why Naruto was unable to practice chakra control. His face couldn’t help but darken again…
Because there was too much chakra in Naruto’s body.
“Gurararara…”
Whitebeard glanced at Naruto on the sea and laughed heartily, “He seems to be a newcomer who is more active than Sasuke.”
As Whitebeard spoke, he turned to look at Sasuke and continued with a smile, “Little brat Sasuke, is this your old friend?”
“More or less…”
In reality, the relationship between Sasuke and Naruto was more complicated.
Sasuke’s figure rose from the ground and landed on the surface of the sea. Looking at Naruto in front of him, a trace of helplessness flashed through his heart.
“You joined the Beast Pirates?”
“Yes…”
Naruto spread out his palm, and a touch of helplessness flashed on his face, “You also know that as Akatsuki’s ninja, you must obey orders…”
If it were possible…
In fact, Naruto wanted to find a boat by himself and pull Sasuke out to sea together with him. Then he would bring Kakashi and Jiraiya along.
Unfortunately…
Naruto had to obey Uehara’s orders. Apart from the fact that Uehara brought peace, it was also because of Uehara’s somewhat complicated identity.
“Hmph!”
Sasuke snorted coldly. He looked at Naruto and continued, “That guy sent you here to stop me, right?”
“Yeah…”
After Naruto nodded, his fist suddenly clenched, and his face suddenly became serious, “He told me that this might be an opportunity… Let Indra and Asura’s chakra fate end in the sea!”
At this point, Naruto suddenly raised his head and continued in a low voice, “But I still don’t want to fight with you… Sasuke, get out of here with the Whitebeard Pirates!”
“Gurararara…”
Whitebeard stood on the railing and looked at Naruto on the sea. He couldn’t help but laugh loudly, “This battle is not something that a little brat like you can decide… Gurararara… Little brat, if you want me to leave this place, you have to have someone with weight at least!”
“Isn’t my weight enough?”
Kaido stood proudly on the bow of the ship. He clenched his club and looked at Whitebeard with a fierce expression, “Newgate… I am not here to play house with you!”
“Not enough!”
Whitebeard squatted on the boat with the naginata in his hand. He grinned and smiled confidently, “Kaido… I am Whitebeard!”
