Chapter 193 Undercurrent
at the same time.
On the top floor of a bank building in the east area of Coin Island.
"I didn't expect so many people to come and join in the fun..."
A young man with blond pineapple hair was sitting on the edge of the roof, his sandaled feet dangling casually in the air.
Marco, biting a straw in his mouth, looked at the pirates in the distant port who were constantly jumping off the pirate ships and walking towards the auction in the Central Building of the Island of Coins, his eyebrows gradually tightened.
As one of the dominant forces in the new world, the Whitebeard Pirates naturally received an invitation to this Momo Fruit Auction.
Originally, they were not very interested in Momo Fruit.
Although this Devil Fruit is powerful, not everyone can control it.
The Momo Fruit's "multiplying" ability itself, like any other type of Devil Fruit, requires stamina.
And if the degree of "multiplication" is very large, such as a fifty-fold or a hundred-fold increase, it will also cause an extremely heavy burden on the Devil Fruit ability user himself.
At least among the former main ship officers of the Whitebeard Pirates, there is no one who can control the Momo Fruit.
So when Dad and the others received the invitation letter for this auction, they all disapproved and scoffed.
But as the vice-captain of the Whitebeard Pirates, Marco has his own ideas.
——Kozuki Oden!
As Oden's new companion on the ship, and now his father's "sworn brother", his own strength is already extraordinary and can be called a monster.
But because of the battle with the Marine named Rogers Darren, this always optimistic guy was depressed every day, and even often resorted to drinking to drown his sorrows.
Marcus thought about it and suddenly felt that this auction should be a good opportunity.
If you can grab the Momo Fruit and give it to Oden as a gift, it will definitely cheer him up and regain his strength.
At least what is certain is that with Kozuki Oden's powerful strength, it is more than enough to control this devil fruit that is said to be able to "destroy the world"!
This is also his goal of sneaking into the Island of Coins alone this time.
"The Big Mom Pirates...seems like there are a lot of great guys here...even Jhin is here. I guess it won't be so easy to get the Momo Fruit this time."
Marco slowly looked back and scratched his head with a headache.
When he thought about the possibility of a conflict with that guy Jhin, he couldn't help but feel fear in his heart.
As for why not use normal auction channels to get the Momo Fruit?
Are you kidding? The Whitebeard Pirates don't have any money.
"We can only wait for the opportunity. The two brothers in the Charlotte family are very ambitious and will never let Jhin succeed... When they start fighting fiercely, they may take advantage of the chaos and succeed."
Marco murmured.
…
The other side.
A hotel room in the west area of Coin Island.
A burly figure with scars all over his body and muscles as knotted as rocks slowly walked out of the bathroom.
A white bath towel simply wrapped his lower body, and his long, wet blond hair looked wild and unruly.
On the clothes rack next to him, there was a black military uniform hanging, and the polished black military boots looked heavy and solemn.
He has only one arm.
The right arm seemed to have been blown away by some terrifying weapon, leaving only a healed horrific scar.
"It's really lively this time..."
The blond young man squinted through the glass window and stared at the pirate ship flying countless pirate flags in the distant port, and a fierce and warlike smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
"Dozens of pirate groups and dark forces... as well as the Big Mom Pirates and the Beasts Pirates..."
When he talked about the "Beasts Pirates", a stern murderous intent flashed in his eyes.
The blond young man stretched out his remaining left hand and gently pressed it on the metal coffee table placed next to him.
There was no movement on his part, as if there was an illusory purple halo passing over the surface of the coffee table.
The metal coffee table suddenly "melted", spreading up his left hand, "crawling" across his chest, and finally converging on his right shoulder to form a metal arm with distinct scales.
Click click click...
The blond young man clenched his right fist and moved his metal arm, with a satisfied smile on his face.
Douglas Barrett! !
"It's so boring to stay on the boat every day..."
Barrett narrowed his eyes.
Since he joined the Roger Pirates, he has challenged Roger many times. Unfortunately, every time he thought that after hard training and improved strength... he could finally defeat Roger, the latter burst out to stabilize himself. Strength!
ten times,
twenty times,
thirty times,
Fifty times...
Gradually, Barrett finally realized how far away he was from the name Gol D. Roger!
It seemed that he could only chase the man's back forever. He was only one step away from touching the corner of his clothes, but this step was so far away that there was no end in sight.
The more this happened, the more Barrett admired Roger more and more, and at the same time, he also felt deep helplessness and despair.
Although it was nice to have a target to chase, no one could survive being crushed and defeated.
It's such a blow to your self-confidence.
So when he saw the auction invitation in the trash can on the Roger Pirates' ship, he decided to run out without hesitation.
He has been suppressed for too long, he must kill quickly!
As for the bullshit Momo fruit, he didn't care at all.
Of course, when Barrett ran out, the other members of the pirate group did not stop him at all. Instead, they laughed and told him to go back as soon as he had had enough trouble.
After all, the Roger Pirates have no restrictions on the crew, and their main policy is a free-range policy.
"Auction... I hope you guys won't bore me too much..."
Barrett's lips curved into a sinister smile, and his eyes flashed with violent anger.
"This time, I'm going to fight to my heart's content, hahahahaha!!"
…
On this day, undercurrents surged everywhere on the famous "Coin Island" in the New World.
There are people who openly set foot on this land of wealth and glamour, trying to show the majesty of the forces behind them;
Someone sneaks into the dark place quietly, ready to make a move, with different purposes;
Countless forces poured into this magnificent city, quietly waiting for the emergence of the Devil Fruit that was said to be able to "destroy the world."
What they didn't know was that an invisible web had spread out like a dark invasion, silently encompassing them.
A marine named Rogers Darren is working on a crazy idea.
——Kill them all! !
