Chapter 328 Don't Let Him Succeed
...
"You are so stingy. You call yourself the big brother, but you charge me for a few more bottles of wine and two pills. Haven't we agreed to let you do business on Mermaid Island, the territory of our Whitebeard Pirates? With your cunning and shameless character, you are probably a profiteer. You will definitely make a lot of money! Can you waive the money for the wine and pills?"
Marco said unconvinced.
"No, Ma Erdang, I don't think you expressed it accurately enough. It's not that you agreed to it. This is the result of our own fighting."
Akin looked at Marco and spoke calmly.
"If we didn't have this strength, I'm afraid you Whitebeard Pirates wouldn't be so easy to talk to."
Whitebeard, who was sitting next to him, narrowed his eyes slightly, feeling a little moved as to why the other party had so many little monsters with huge potential. Each one of them made him want to say that line!
Oh, if only they could all be my sons!
Even this most inconspicuous little brat could actually fight with Marco, and Marco couldn't get much advantage.
“Kulalalalal! Your Chamber of Commerce is really full of troublemakers regardless of age. There are hidden dragons and crouching tigers here!”
Whitebeard teased with a smile.
"Don't you think he's right? I don't like pirates in the first place. You should be thankful that you are not the kind of pirates who like to burn, kill and plunder. Otherwise, you may not be able to go back today. By the way, Whitebeard, I have a piece of advice for you. People's hearts are hidden in the belly. Don't say "come to be my son" to everyone you meet. There may be many pirates who rely on your name to do bad things everywhere and you don't even know it. Of course, I just said it casually. If you don't want to hear it, forget it, but if you don't listen, you will suffer the consequences."
Ger said nonchalantly.
"You little brat, do you want to fight again? How dare you teach me, Whitebeard, how can I do anything?!"
"Tsk, I don't care. Just don't mess with me, those weird pirate sons you recruited, or I'll just chop them to pieces!"
Geer doesn't care about the Tao.
"How dare you! You dare to threaten our Whitebeard Pirates! Do you know what the consequences will be?"
White Beard said seriously that his family was his biggest weakness.
"Hehe! Come on, others may be afraid of you, Whitebeard, but I am not. Then you will see if I dare or not. Humph! I will let Weevil chop me, what can you do? If you have the guts, kill your own son to avenge them!"
Facing the angry white beard, Gel challenged with a look of disdain.
"You bastard!..."
Seeing that Whitebeard's defense was broken by just three sentences, Marco quickly pulled him back and said:
"Calm down, Dad. Don't listen to this guy. He has a personality problem. He enjoys making people angry! Don't let him succeed!"
Whitebeard took a few deep breaths to calm himself down.
"Kulalalala! What a bad-tempered brat."
After calming down, he also realized that with the current strength of Gel and his gang, they would not be afraid of their Whitebeard Pirates.
Not only that, if Marco, Jozi and the others cannot grow up quickly, in the long future, as they grow older, the strength of the Whitebeard Pirates will begin to decline, and these guys under Gul will slowly grow into real monsters.
With this ups and downs, the overall strength will be widened immediately, and then there will be no confidence to negotiate conditions.
"Hey, Ger boy, if a conflict really breaks out one day, I hope you can give me a favor and spare my sons' lives and let me handle it. If it is really their fault, I will definitely give you a satisfactory explanation!"
Whitebeard said solemnly.
Marco widened his eyes, unable to believe that the old man with white beard would actually say such a compromising word.
“…Dad!”
Damn it! It's all because of these sons who are not motivated enough! Dad made the compromise for them!
"Okay, but wouldn't it be easier for you to go back and tell them to stop doing bad things and not mess with us?"
"I actually respect your Whitebeard quite a bit, so I chose to solve this problem using the method you pirates like best. Otherwise, I would have directly removed your flag from Fishman Island and waited for you to come to the sea to find a place to fight. No kidding, let's fight in the sea water, both of you come together, and I will let Weevil make it easy for me to control you with one hand."
Gur spoke a lot with a very arrogant expression, but Whitebeard and Marco did not refute him, and some even wanted to say that you are right.
If you say you don't believe it, will you be tricked into making another appointment?
As people with special abilities, why are they fighting in the sea? Isn't that like an old man hanging himself because he thinks his life is too long?
"Hehe, Gel boy, what exactly do you want to do to Fishman Island?"
Whitebeard asked, changing the subject.
"Don't worry too much about this. You may not understand even if I tell you. Anyway, this is a great thing for Fishman Island!"
Ger said with a smile.
Whitebeard looked straight into Gel's eyes. After they stared at each other for a while, he slowly spoke:
"Well, as long as Neptune and Otohime don't object, I won't have any objections."
"Haha, that's the right way to talk. Come on, have a drink! It's my treat."
Gel smiled and took out two more boxes of liquor and gave them to White Beard.
Marco and Whitebeard both stared at Gol with curiosity, wanting to know what kind of devil fruit ability this was.
Ger continued.
“Don’t worry. Although Fishman Island will be our territory in the future, considering that the Whitebeard Pirates will be Weevil in the future, I will give my brother a favor. Fishman Island can continue to fly the flag of the Whitebeard Pirates. You can just treat it as a name. Anyway, apart from a flag, you haven’t provided any substantial military protection for Fishman Island.”
Gel said shamelessly.
“Brother Gel, you are going too far. Although we don’t have anyone stationed on Fishman Island, the flag of our Whitebeard Pirates is still of great help to Fishman Island!…”
"Come on, it's ok for you to brag to others, but you're bragging to me? In the entire Whitebeard Pirates, apart from Whitebeard himself, who else can be considered as capable? You, Marco the Phoenix? As the second-in-command, you can't even beat a kid. How much territory do you expect to protect?"
"I...you..."
Faced with Gel's venomous tongue, Marco was completely defenseless and could only cover his chest with a flushed face, feeling as if he had been stabbed several times there.
