Chapter 148 The Players, Let's Have a Match with Daddy...
Huh? Injury?
Weil hadn't been on the Moby Dick or had long phone conversations with them during this time, so how could she know about Namur's injury?
Izang raised an eyebrow, as if he understood something.
Namur was still foolishly thanking Vera for her concern: "It's nothing, just minor injuries! If Marco hadn't made such a fuss and insisted that I apply medicine and rest, I could have gone out and taken my revenge myself right now!"
Namuel thought of that damned brat who froze him in the water, preventing him from even getting a chance to perform. Once he recovered, he was determined to personally go to Ghost Island, find Timber, and give him a good beating!
What? You're asking why Muir didn't just drag the culprit out and beat him up?
At that time, Violet was on Timber's ship, facing him as Timber's subordinate. Who was that Muir? He was a division commander of the Whitebeard Pirates. Wouldn't it be too beneath him to go after someone who wasn't even one of the Flying Sons?
It's better to fight the wooden block; it suits my status. If I win, besides venting my anger, I can also take back the island that my father originally wanted.
Even though Violet is now a renowned Shichibukai, Miu still treats her like a younger sister. As an older brother, he naturally doesn't want to appear inferior in front of his sister.
Before Vera could say anything to comfort him, he immediately changed the subject and asked Vera if she was in trouble calling at this hour.
Don't worry, Violet has the Whitebeard Pirates backing her. As long as the Whitebeard Pirates are around, who would dare to bully Violet?!
Seeing Namuel's burning fighting spirit, Izang, who had seen through everything, hesitated to speak.
Izo snatched the Den Den Mushi.
"Is it Kaido's side? Did he threaten you or hurt you?"
Izo, Marco, and Whitebeard himself all knew that Violet had gone to the Beasts' territory. Otherwise, why would Whitebeard suddenly send Namur to plunder Kaido's island? Wasn't it to give Kaido something to do so that he wouldn't focus all his energy on internal matters and interfere with what Violet was doing?
This sea emperor, who had roamed the oceans for over a decade, naturally possessed his own experience in handling affairs. Violet had both the ability and the desire to make her way in the world, yet she had earned the title of Shichibukai in such a short time. With a child so independent and successful, Whitebeard naturally couldn't directly claim that he was protecting such a powerful figure; otherwise, some idiot would definitely mistake Violet and R'lyeh for his subordinates.
However, it's fine to do it secretly, since it can't be done openly.
"Well, of course not!"
If Kaido and King had always been enemies with Violet, that would be one thing, but Violet has never been lenient with red-named NPCs.
The problem is that when Violet was disguised as Violet, Kaido and King not only treated her well, but even seemed to be grooming her for a role, which made Violet feel somewhat guilty.
Izang sensed the unusual emotion in Vera's voice, but with great emotional intelligence, he didn't ask any further questions.
Under Namuel's accusing gaze, Violet and Izang, oblivious to everyone else, warmly connected and then revealed their purpose.
"Actually, I have something I'd like to ask Mr. Newgate to do, and besides that, I also have a letter to give to Mr. Izang."
They actually need the Whitebeard Pirates' help?!
What you can't have is always the best. Ever since Violet became a Shichibukai and missed her chance with the Whitebeard Pirates, the older brothers and sisters who had always dreamed of having a sweet, soft, obedient, sensible, cute, and lively little sister on their ship, while regretting that they hadn't made their move sooner, also found Violet to be perfect the more they looked at her because they couldn't get what they wanted.
This group of "sister-complex" individuals evolved in two directions. One group, like Namur and Vista, felt that Violet was simply an innocent, kind, and fragile little white flower, adventuring alone in this dirty pirate world. Even with considerable strength, she was bound to be deceived by some cunning and evil pirates, so she needed them, as her older brothers and sisters, to protect her.
Another perspective comes from Marco and Izo, who think that Violet is smart, hardworking, strong, and quirky. What great pirate? Where is the great pirate? Violet is clearly just a stepping stone for Violet to climb up!
Titch rolled his eyes wildly where Izang and Namuel couldn't see.
However, Izou and the others didn't have time to pay attention to Teach's expression. The two siscon with completely opposite evolutionary paths had the same thought at this moment—Vill had actually taken the initiative to ask them for help, so the matter must be very urgent!
Especially when they heard that Violet was planning to come to the Moby Dick to find them, the two of them were on high alert.
It seems this is more than just a small matter!
In their confusion, the two completely forgot that Vera later added, "Send a letter to Izang as well."
So when Violet brought Sakura and the others to the Moby Dick, the rumors had spread to the point that "Vilet was dissatisfied with Kaido and Father being called the emperors of the sea, so she decided to overthrow them. However, she was seriously injured by the cruel Kaido through his schemes and tricks. She barely managed to escape and wanted to see Father one last time so that he would avenge her."
Before Violet's little wooden boat even got close, Marco transformed into a phoenix and leaped from the Moby Dick, turning into a dazzling blue firework and flying to Violet's side.
Violet subconsciously looked down at the ship's side where the bird's claws were gripping. Although there were yellow bird claws and blue flames in front of her, Violet inexplicably thought of another color combination at this moment.
Vera: ...
Ugh, I'm so angry! Why can everyone else keep a pet bird, but she can't?!
Marco didn't notice the strange "Marco-like ember" look in Violet's eyes. After all, in the short time since Violet hung up the phone, Marco, who was out, had only heard from his brothers that Violet was seriously injured and dying, preparing to give her last words.
Marco was so frightened that he couldn't wait to see Violet on the Moby Dick.
result……
Marco looked Vil up and down.
Hmm, she's grown taller, and her face is a bit rounder. More importantly, her aura is even more undeniable than before. In a daze, Marco even saw a trace of his father in Vil.
Vera was dressed in a neat black wide-leg straight-leg trousers and a beige sleeveless top, with a dark brown belt around her waist and the Shadow Sword hanging on one side. Ever since Vera used Conqueror's Haki to forcibly suppress the Shadow Sword, which was a semi-hollow energy form, the sword finally had a scabbard to suppress and contain it. When not drawn, it no longer had the side effect of reducing sanity, nor did it have that terrifying aura of sharpness.
However, as soon as Velvet releases the Conqueror's Haki that she is suppressing, the terrifying aura she instantly exudes brings a strong sense of oppression that is no less than the feeling when Kaido unleashes his full power with Thunder Bagua.
Marco thought about it but couldn't figure out why he felt that sense of déjà vu, but he was certain that his brothers were unreliable.
Marco cursed the person spreading the rumors under his breath, then his gaze fell on a man and a woman he had never seen before behind Vil.
Are Violet's new islanders?
There were no signs of training, and their strength wasn't great. Could it be that Vera valued other qualities in them?
Violet winked at Marco: "That's what I need to ask Mr. Newgate to do."
If the Whitebeard Pirates are helping to take care of someone, then of course we should bring that person to the Whitebeard Pirates to see them.
Although the Whitebeard Pirates were considered one of the better-reputed pirate crews, their imposing aura as great pirates could still frighten Sakura and the others, so Violet did not intend to bring them onto the Moby Dick.
Violet brought up the idea of sending Sakura and the others, whom she had brought from Wano Country, to the Whitebeard Pirates' territory and asking them to take care of them.
Marco would agree to such a trivial matter without even reporting it to his father.
He remembered Sakura's and Violet's faces and told them that since they were Violet's friends, they were also friends of the Whitebeard Pirates. They could choose any of the islands under Whitebeard's control, and no one would dare to bully them.
Vera was satisfied.
Since Violet is on the Moby Dick, there will definitely be a banquet tonight. Sakura and the others are not going aboard, but we can't just leave them hanging like this.
The First Division Captain, who was worrying so much that his hair was thinning day by day, was pondering when he saw Violet step forward and extend her hand with perfect ease.
Marco: ?
Marco: "..."
"Have you not learned how to shave yet, or are you addicted...?" How come you're so skilled at asking to be carried? "Fine, come on."
Marco took Vera and flew to the Moby Dick.
The moment Violet stepped onto the deck of the Moby Dick, she was met with countless stares, and right in the center of all the pirates sat the imposing Whitebeard Newgate, who exuded an aura of authority without even trying!
Newgate, his blond hair flowing down his back, put down his gourd and squinted at Violet. He first checked that Violet was unharmed, and then, like Marco, sensed Violet's unusual aura.
Marco couldn't understand what that aura meant, but Whitebeard understood it immediately.
"Kurara!" The white-bearded man looked up and exclaimed, "You little rascal, I see!"
Before Marco and the other squad leaders could understand what their father meant, the next second, Whitebeard's merciless Conqueror's Haki rushed straight towards Violet!
On the main ship, those unfortunate ones who were caught between Whitebeard and Val were too weak to resist and instantly fainted!
Marco: "Dad?!"
Marco didn't understand why his father suddenly attacked Violet.
Yes, an attack.
This domineering and fierce Conqueror's Haki is enough to be called an attack. An attack of this level could even make nearly 90% of the pirates on the sea lose all ability to resist in an instant.
Izang and the others looked at their father with equal surprise and uncertainty.
But the next second, another unfamiliar, immature, yet unyielding Conqueror's Haki appeared on the deck, charging forward like a newborn calf!
The second wave of Conqueror's Haki!
Marco's usually half-open eyes widened in disbelief as he stared at Violet, who stood before his father and was remarkably small compared to his father, even when he was seated.
If Vera knew what Marco was thinking at that moment, she would definitely shout that it was unnecessary, that the comparison and description were really unnecessary.
But at this moment, Violet couldn't care less about what others thought.
Whitebeard truly deserves to be called the strongest Emperor of the Sea; his Conqueror's Haki is far more terrifying than Kaido's.
Furthermore, the reason why Violet was able to withstand Kaido's Conqueror's Haki was twofold: firstly, Kaido saw the shadow of Rocks in Violet, which made him uneasy; and secondly, Yamato helped to share half of the pressure.
At this moment, when Velvet was left alone to face Whitebeard's Conqueror's Haki, her arms began to tremble under the immense pressure in just a few seconds.
Marco and Izo, noticing this, looked nervously at their father, trying to remind him with their eyes that it was enough!
Whitebeard was also preparing to quit while he was ahead, but just as he made this decision, Val's trembling hand suddenly pressed against her waist, against the unassuming sword.
With her fair hand gripping the hilt, Vera slowly pulled the sword out inch by inch under immense pressure!
