Chapter 245 Hey guys, I might be about to do something stupid
A sad atmosphere lingered on the calm sea.
Shanks and his crew members were obviously relieved by the broken Whitebeard Pirates in front of them.
But when he thought of the strength of the World Government and looked at the injured members of the Whitebeard Pirates, Shanks's originally relaxed face immediately became tough.
He and the Whitebeard Pirates were old acquaintances. Since the era of Pirate King Roger, they have been fighting on the sea.
It can be said that there is not much competition between the Whitebeard Pirates and the Red Hair Pirates. On the contrary, after this long-term confrontation, their relationship is mostly harmonious.
So Shanks couldn't watch them die.
What's more, on the pirate ship in front of him, there was his son, Ace, who was the man he respected the most.
Therefore, even though Shanks sympathized with the current situation of the Whitebeard Pirates, the Red Force still stopped in front of the Whitebeard Pirates without moving.
Seeing this, many members of the Whitebeard Pirates flashed anxious looks on their faces.
After all, if Shanks and the others did not take the initiative to give way, then with their current state, they would not be able to be opponents of the Red Hair Pirates.
On the deck of the broken pirate ship.
Everyone looked at the Red Hair Pirates' firm attitude, and at this moment everyone looked at Marco and Ace standing on the deck.
In the absence of Whitebeard, Marco and Ace are currently the strongest in the entire Whitebeard Pirates.
Although many things on this sea require seniority, once important things are about to be decided, it still depends on strength.
Feeling the heavy eyes of his companions behind him, Ace clenched his fists, and blue veins popped out from his forehead.
He knew that Shanks was right. The current situation of the Whitebeard Pirates was too bad. If they went back to find their father now, they might really be in danger of being wiped out.
The entire Whitebeard Pirates had lost too much to save him.
Therefore, he was faced with his father who had been so kind to him on one side, and his life and death partner who his father had asked him to take care of before he parted with him.
The dilemma in a moment made Ace miserable.
He sensed Ace's trembling body and unstable emotions beside him.
At this moment, all the pressure of the Whitebeard Pirates came to Marco.
He turned his head and looked at his expectant companions behind him, and stared at the Red Hair Pirates who were blocking the way in front of the pirate ship.
A look of determination suddenly flashed in Marco's eyes.
He knew that if he didn't say something today, with Shanks's character, he would never let them return to the Grand Line.
He turned his head and looked at the captains beside him. After decades of companionship, they knew what each other was thinking with just one look.
After confirming the gazes of his companions around him, Marco, the oldest and strongest man in the Whitebeard Pirates.
He looked up and looked at Shanks.
"Red Hair, for the sake of our past friendship, please get out of the way. We have a reason to go back now, because my father is still alive, but his current condition is very bad."
When Marco said the last sentence, his face was very ugly.
At the same time, he spread out the only life card on the entire pirate ship, which represented Whitebeard's life, to Red Hair.
His pupils shrank suddenly, and Shanks finally knew why the Whitebeard Pirates were so anxious to go back now.
Thinking of the news he had learned through special channels in advance.
His face also became extremely ugly.
Shanks knew that if he continued to block them, the survivors of the Whitebeard Pirates in front of him would definitely go to war with him.
His eyes kept flickering, as if he was making a decision.
Looking at the Whitebeard Pirates in front of him, their faces gradually became solemn and determined because of Marco's choice.
Suddenly, Shanks turned his head and said, "Hey, guys, I might do something stupid again."
"Everyone be careful, don't turn the warship around at will, and the guy who is collecting the sails on the top, hurry up, the storm is coming soon."
The weather on the Grand Line is always good and bad.
The last moment, Roy and Spandam were leisurely drinking coconuts on the sun loungers and listening to the beautiful singing of the singer.
And the next moment, the sky was suddenly covered by dark clouds, and the violent wind swept the surging waves, hitting the warship and making it sway from side to side.
Navy soldiers and officers are desperately trying to keep the warship stable.
Because everyone knows that the most dangerous thing about sailing in the Grand Line is not the sea kings in the seabed, nor the pirates that can be seen everywhere.
The real danger here has always been the unpredictable weather here, and the ocean that seems stable at ordinary times, but is actually violent and changeable.
Just when all the naval officers and soldiers are trying to cross the storm ahead.
In the warm and comfortable command room of the warship, Roy and Spandam were in front of a Den Den Mushi, analyzing their next move.
"Roy, now we have come to the edge of the Big Mom Pirates' expansion area, what should we do next?
Should we act alone, or wait here for the navy's support, and then go to Grant Kingdom together."
Spandam looked at Roy expectantly at this moment.
From the look in his eyes, Roy knew that this guy definitely hoped that he would choose to wait here for the navy's support.
There was no immediate response to Spandam's inquiry.
Roy held the oil lamp in his left hand and drew on the chart in front of him with his right hand.
Because of its very special geographical location, the Grant Kingdom is right next to the only way for all nations to lead to other sea areas. Therefore, it is specially allowed to join the World Government because it is used by the World Government to monitor Charlotte Lingling, one of the Four Emperors. of a third world country.
In normal times, this kingdom is stationed with a large number of navy and powerful men from the World Government. However, due to the War on the Top and the Battle of Galimbit,
Therefore, this country was originally used by the world government to monitor the four emperors. Because a large number of domestic navies and strong men were forcibly transferred by the world government, so during the weak period when the world government transferred power, this country had long been occupied by the four emperors pirates. The World Government member country that the group regarded as a thorn in their side was directly captured by the Big Mom Pirates.
Faced with this outcome, the world government will naturally not compromise easily.
After experiencing the Summit War, the World Government has once again heightened the threat of these sea emperors.
Therefore, facing the fall of Grant Kingdom, the World Government will never sit idly by.
