#70 - Chapter 70 Oden and Whitebeard
"Hey! Why did you throw me into the sea?"
After a night, the 'monster' reverted to his original appearance and began to curse at Jin An and the others.
Jin An said innocently, "You scared us when you came out of the sea yesterday."
"We're not even holding you accountable, and we kindly let you return to where you came from..."
"I feel like we didn't do anything wrong..."
The man pointed at Jin An, his fingers trembling with anger, and after a long while, he choked out a word:
"You...!!"
Jin An waved his hand, looking like he was doing a good deed without expecting anything in return:
"I know you want to thank me, but there's no need to be so excited. I just did a small favor."
The man became even angrier: "I...!!"
Jin An interjected: "Okay! I told you, there's no need to thank me..."
"She..." The man's face turned purple.
He was so frustrated. Was this person in front of him crazy? He wouldn't let him finish a complete sentence.
"Pfft..."
Tian Yue Shi finally couldn't help but cover her mouth and laugh. A man nearly 4 meters tall with a green face, wanting to get angry but unable to win against the other person, was truly unbearable.
"Even you..."
The man felt like he was pierced by a thousand arrows. He embarrassed himself in front of a beautiful woman, and he wished he could find a hole to bury his head in.
"If you're a man, come with me for a duel!" The man took a step forward and stood in front of Jin An, looking down at the man who only reached his waist.
"I'm not familiar with you, so why should I listen to you?" Jin An was too lazy to pay attention to the other party's request, yawned, and lightly walked to Tian Yue Shi's side.
Tian Yue Shi restrained her smile. Her impression of the 'monster' man worsened.
"Brother, let's forget about fighting." Jin An remembered that he still had something to ask. "Do you know how to get to Wano Country?"
Tian Yue Shi covered her moist lips. She didn't expect the person she just met to take her words from yesterday to heart.
"Wano Country?"
The man's expression became serious. He had just come out of that place and didn't want to go back.
Seeing the man's reaction, Tian Yue Shi immediately became excited. She knew that this person knew the location of Wano Country.
"Are you from Wano Country?"
"I've always wanted to go to that place. Can you take me... us to Wano Country?"
The man's face was full of resistance, and his face wrinkled up. "I went through so much hardship to escape..."
Tian Yue Shi frowned. She felt uncomfortable that the place she had always looked forward to was being disliked by the other party.
"Do you have many enemies in Wano Country?" Jin An asked curiously.
Jin An believed that there must be some unspeakable reason for this person's strong resistance to going to Wano Country.
"How could that be!" The man immediately retorted, "I, Oden, am loved by everyone and admired by all flowers in Wano Country! No one is more popular than me!"
He was the current daimyo of Kuri, and the entire Wano Country was his territory.
It's just that he always wanted to go out and see the outside world, but unfortunately, he was prone to getting lost, and only now has he realized this dream.
"Then can you point us in a direction?" Tian Yue Shi no longer pressed, but could only settle for the next best thing.
"Uh... this..." Oden's forehead dripped with cold sweat.
He had no idea where this place was. This was the farthest place he had ever been, and his tendency to get lost had always affected his sense of direction.
He couldn't do it at all...
"......"
Suddenly, a lot of people's shouts came from the coast, scaring a flock of birds resting on the island.
"Oden! You're not dead yet!"
"......"
"Who are they!?"
Jin An's eyes flashed. In his perception, many people with extraordinary power had landed on the island.
He 'saw' the pirate ships parked on the coast, "The Whitebeard Pirates..."
Just then, Olga and Assier ran from afar, their faces pale and their teeth chattering uncontrollably.
"Pirate ships... so many pirate ships... this island is surrounded by pirate ships!"
"Although this is the second half of the Grand Line, there are too many pirates."
"Why did these pirate ships come here?"
"......"
Olga was incoherent. She was over 200 years old, but it was the first time she had seen such a scene.
Looking at the ships with pirate flags anchored on the distant coast, and the approaching footsteps, Olga and her daughter and Tian Yue Shi were shocked.
They couldn't believe what was happening before their eyes!
So many pirates could easily destroy a world government member state. The aggressive pirates in front of them directly refreshed the three people's worldviews.
Most importantly, they seemed to have called someone's name.
Oden's face was extremely rich, sometimes happy, sometimes disappointed, and finally only left a sigh.
A man with a long-handled sword slowly walked to Oden and stood still.
"Oden, get on my ship..."
Oden's dejection was swept away, and he raised his head and stared at the other party:
"Eh!? But I let go... The test you gave me, I... couldn't complete..."
A pineapple-headed man walked from afar, one step behind the tall figure, and walked to Oden with a teasing expression.
"Giving up your ambition because of a woman's scream, I didn't expect you to be so naive...!!"
The pirates cheered, and they sincerely recognized this man who had persisted in the sea.
"Hahaha, Marco, don't tease Oden. Look at his face."
"Don't say, it's the first time I've seen him with this expression. It's really interesting."
"It feels like..."
"It feels like a woman was snatched away...?"
Seeing that the only two women were all hiding behind a stranger, the pirates had an idea in their hearts.
That guy Oden wouldn't have failed to save people and was instead disliked by them, right...
Whitebeard looked at Jin An with interest.
"Boy, have we met somewhere before?"
Hearing Whitebeard's words, Jin An looked puzzled.
He seemed to have had no contact with the other party at all, but the other party seemed sure that he was the person in his memory.
Jin An shook his head and said truthfully:
"I don't remember meeting you."
Whitebeard laughed loudly, and the clouds in the sky were scattered far away by his laughter.
"It seems I need to give you some hints..."
He paused and continued:
"Years ago, God Valley..."
Jin An's eyes sharpened as he stared at Whitebeard.
He had no contact with the other party on that island at all. How did the other party know him?
Whitebeard inserted 'Murakumogiri' into the ground, and a wave of air swept towards Jin An.
"It seems you remember, Gura rara rara..."
"When I arrived there, I just happened to see you leave..."
"Roronoa was badly hurt at the time. I haven't seen her so embarrassed since I got on Rocks' ship..."
"Wow!!!"
The surrounding pirates looked at the short figure in front of their captain and couldn't help but exclaim.
"No way..."
"Charlotte Linlin, that monster, was defeated by this little guy?!!"
"To be able to survive in a place like God Valley... is this guy that strong?!!"
...
