Chapter 193 Undercurrent
At the same time.
On the top floor of a bank building in the eastern district of Coin Island.
"I didn't expect so many people to come and join in the fun..."
A young man with a golden pineapple hairstyle sat on the edge of the roof, his feet in sandals casually swinging in the air.
Marco, biting a straw in his mouth, looked at the pirates who kept jumping off the pirate ship in the distant port and walking towards the auction in the central building of Coin Island, and his eyebrows gradually tightened.
As one of the dominant forces in the New World, the Whitebeard Pirates naturally received an invitation to the Momo Fruit auction this time.
Originally, they were not very interested in the Momo Fruit.
Although this devil fruit is powerful, it is not something that anyone can control.
The "multiplication" ability of the Momo Fruit itself, like any other type of devil fruit, requires physical strength.
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 original Whitebeard Pirates’ main ship officers, there was no one who could control the Momo Fruit.
So when Daddy and the others received the invitation to this auction, they all disapproved and sneered.
But Marco, as the vice-captain of the Whitebeard Pirates, had his own ideas.
—— Kozuki Oden!
As a new partner on the ship, and now even Daddy’s “sworn brother”, Oden’s own strength is already extraordinary and can be called a monster.
But because of the battle with the navy named Rogers Darren, this guy who has always been optimistic has been depressed day by day, and even often drank to relieve his sorrow.
Marco thought about it and suddenly felt that this auction should be a good opportunity.
If he could grab the Momo Fruit and give it to Oden as a gift, it would definitely cheer him up and regroup.
At least it is certain 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 was also his goal for sneaking into the Coin Island alone this time.
"BIG·MOM Pirates... It seems that many great guys have come... Even King is here. It's probably not that easy to get the Momo Fruit this time."
Marco slowly retracted his gaze and scratched his head with some headache.
When he thought of the possibility of a conflict with King, he couldn't help but feel apprehensive.
As for why they didn't use the normal auction channel to get the Momo Fruit?
What a joke, the Whitebeard Pirates don't have the money.
"We can only wait for an opportunity. The two brothers of the Charlotte family are ambitious and will never let King succeed... Wait until they fight fiercely, maybe they can succeed in the chaos."
Marco muttered.
...
On the other side.
A hotel box in the western district of Coin Island.
A burly figure with scars all over his body and muscles knotted like rocks walked out of the bathroom slowly.
The white bath towel simply wrapped his lower body, and his wet golden hair looked wild and unruly.
On the clothes rack next to him, there was a set of black military uniforms, and the shiny black military boots looked heavy and murderous.
He only had one arm.
His right arm seemed to have been blown off by some terrible weapon, leaving only a terrible scar that had healed.
"This time it was really lively..."
The blond young man squinted through the glass window and stared at the pirate ship with countless pirate flags flying in the distant port, and a crazy grin of war appeared at the corner of his mouth.
"Dozens of pirate groups and dark forces... There are also 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.
He didn't move, and it seemed that an illusory purple halo passed over the surface of the coffee table.
The metal coffee table suddenly "melted", spreading up along his left hand, "climbing" across his chest, and finally gathered into a metal arm with distinct scales on his right shoulder.
Crack, crack...
The blond young man clenched his right fist, moved his metal arm, and showed a satisfied smile on his face.
Douglas Barrett!!
"It's too boring to stay on the ship all day..."
Barrett narrowed his eyes.
Since he joined Roger's pirate group, he has challenged Roger many times. Unfortunately, every time he thought that after hard training and strength improvement... he could finally defeat Roger, the latter burst out with strength that could hold him back!
Ten times,
Twenty times,
Thirty times,
Fifty times...
Gradually, Barrett finally realized how far away he was from the name Gol D. Roger!
He seemed to be able to 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 it seemed as if there was no end.
The more this happened, the more Barrett admired Roger, but at the same time, he felt helpless and desperate.
Although it was good to have a goal to pursue, it was unbearable to always be crushed and defeated.
It was a huge blow to one's self-confidence.
So when he saw the invitation to the auction in the trash can on the Roger Pirates' ship, he decided to run out without hesitation.
He had been suppressed for too long, and he had to kill to his heart's content!
As for the damn Momo fruit, he didn't care at all.
Of course, when Barrett ran out, the other people in the pirate group saw it but didn't stop him at all. Instead, they laughed and told him to go back quickly after he had enough fun.
After all, the Roger Pirates didn't have any restrictions on the crew, and the main policy was a laissez-faire policy.
"Auction... I hope you guys don't make me too bored..."
Barrett's mouth curled up a grim smile, and his eyes flashed with tyranny.
"This time, I'm going to fight to my heart's content, hahahahaha!!"
...
On this day, on the famous "Coin Island" in the New World, undercurrents surged everywhere.
Some people openly stepped onto this land of luxury, trying to show the majesty of the forces behind them;
Some people quietly sneaked into the dark, ready to move, with different purposes;
Countless forces poured into this magnificent city, quietly waiting for the appearance of the devil fruit that claims to be able to "destroy the world".
What they don't know is that an invisible net has been spread out like a dark invasion, silently enveloping them.
A navy named Rogers Darren is coming up with a crazy idea.
——Kill them all!!
