Marco said confidently, "What danger could there be? There will definitely be a lot of people there, as long as we don't actively cause trou
Marco said confidently, "What danger could there be? There will definitely be a lot of people there, as long as we don't actively cause trouble, what could happen?"
Akira Stone said, "Marco, I also want to go to Loguetown, why don't we go together?"
Marco looked askance at Akira Stone, and said, "You just rejected me, and now you want me to take you?"
Akira Stone said with a surprised expression, "Did I reject you? Okay, let's not talk about this, let's think about how to get to Loguetown, Pops said that he won't let me go to Loguetown."
Marco said with a smile, "If we can't go openly, we can go secretly, as long as we're not discovered by Pops."
Akira Stone's eyes widened, he didn't see it, Marco actually had this idea, but he said, "How do we not get discovered by Pops?"
Marco chuckled, and said, "Back during the day, I secretly left a small boat next to the small island we passed by, don't forget, I'm the Phoenix Fruit ability user, flying this distance is not a problem for me."
"Hiss."
Akira Stone sucked in a breath of cold air, how come he had never discovered that Marco was so cunning before? He had actually planned everything, but then he became excited, and he asked, "When do we leave?"
Marco said, "Let's wait a little longer, and when everyone is sound asleep, we'll leave."
The two waited for about an hour, and then packed their things, and stealthily bypassed the people keeping watch at night.
Marco said to Akira Stone, "Akira Stone, the boat I left is next to the small island not far away, I'll take you with me to fly first."
Akira Stone nodded, and said, "Okay, you turn into a bird, and I'll sit on your back."
Marco's eyes widened, and he shouted, "There's no way that's happening, who said I would let you sit on my back, I said that I would use my claws to grab you and fly."
Akira Stone said with dissatisfaction, "We can clearly sit on your back, so why grab, isn't that unnecessary, and also uncomfortable."
Marco snorted, "We can only grab, so are you still going to Loguetown or not?"
Akira Stone was helpless, and since Marco had a hold over him, he could only admit defeat, and said, "Alright, alright, whatever you say, that's what we'll do."
Marco immediately revealed a smug smile, he had teased Akira Stone so many times, and it was the first time that he had so smoothly gained the upper hand, so of course he had to be smug for a bit; but he also didn't forget his purpose, and used his Devil Fruit ability, turning himself into a giant bird that was glowing with blue flames, and then his claws grabbed Akira Stone, and he instantly soared into the sky.
Akira Stone excitedly followed Marco as they flew up, and at this moment, he also forgot that he was being grabbed, after coming to the world of One Piece, he had always stayed in the Whitebeard Pirates, and rarely left, and this time was his first time leaving the Whitebeard Pirates, and although he was a little reluctant, he was more excited and thrilled, he could finally go and see the outside world.
However, what Akira Stone didn't discover was, when he and Marco left, there was a pair of eyes that were always watching them, and it was Whitebeard, and after Akira Stone and Marco flew away, he then walked out.
"This child has probably really been holding it in for a long time, it's good to let him go out and play, and I believe that this outing should allow him to grow a lot, the outside world is not as good as he imagines."
In fact, Whitebeard had always been thinking about whether or not he should let Akira Stone go out, and later, he also understood, it was good to let Akira Stone go out and see the world, but he was worried about Akira Stone's safety, so that's why he had arranged for Marco to follow, and with Marco's strength, as long as they didn't encounter a famous great pirate, protecting Akira Stone shouldn't be a problem.
Marco indeed hadn't lied, he only flew with Akira Stone for a few minutes, and then they arrived at the island that they had passed by before, and next to the island was moored a boat that wasn't too big or too small.
After the two landed on the boat, Akira Stone was surprised to discover that there were actually a lot of food and water on this boat, and even a few sets of clothes, but this wasn't the key, the key was that these few sets of clothes were actually his size.
Akira Stone looked at Marco with an incredulous gaze, and sized him up and down, and then said, "Are you really Marco? These food and water, and also the clothes, were all things that you had already prepared? Were you that sure that we would have the chance to escape, and also that sure that I would come out with you? You even prepared my clothes."
Marco raised his head, and looked at Akira Stone with a deliberately disdainful expression, and said, "Akira Stone, that's because you didn't completely understand me before, don't think that I'm usually all careless, in reality, I'm also a very meticulous person, if I can't even handle these small matters well, then how can I become Pops's second-in-command?"
Akira Stone rarely didn't retort Marco, the Whitebeard Pirates' second-in-command wasn't that easy to be, if Marco was only powerful, Whitebeard wouldn't have given him such an important position, but based on his understanding of Marco, how come Marco didn't seem like such a scheming person?
Akira Stone really couldn't figure it out, but he also didn't care too much, and Marco continued, "As for why I would prepare your clothes, the reason is even simpler, I heard your conversation with Pops very clearly, and with your personality, as long as I called you, it was impossible for you not to agree."
"You really do understand me ah." Akira Stone's expression became a little strange, and the gaze that he looked at Marco with was even more strange.
Marco, who was being stared at by Akira Stone, only felt uncomfortable all over, and he said with dissatisfaction, "What are you looking at?"
"It's nothing, I'm just a little surprised."
Looking at Marco's appearance, Akira Stone's heart suddenly seemed to have a flash of inspiration, and combining everything that had happened, the supplies on the ship, he understood that all of this was definitely not done by Marco, because he had only just now remembered, that their departure was really too simple, although it was at night, the Whitebeard Pirates' vigilance couldn't possibly be that weak, and moreover, the movements of them flying up weren't considered small, the Whitebeard Pirates couldn't possibly have had no reaction at all, but the fact was like this, he had seen very clearly, that until they had flown very far away, there was no movement on the Moby Dick.
Thinking carefully about it, this was completely abnormal, if the Whitebeard Pirates' vigilance was only at this level, they would have been wiped out long ago, so the reason why this situation had occurred, there was only one possibility, and that was that it was deliberately done, and the person who could deliberately do this, needless to say, it was only Whitebeard.
So Akira Stone immediately understood everything, the reason why Marco would do this, was very likely because it came from Whitebeard's instruction, otherwise, it was impossible for Marco to reach such a perfect level.
After figuring all of this out, Akira Stone instead relaxed, and his mood also became a little more cheerful, Whitebeard was still very fond of him after all, it was just that his way was a little different from ordinary people.
"Do you know how to get to Loguetown?"
Akira Stone suddenly remembered a problem, he didn't know how to get to Loguetown, strictly speaking, since he came to this world, he had never left the area of the New World, let alone the East Blue's Loguetown which was far away from the New World.
Marco was also stunned, and he stammered, "I should, I should know, right."
"Should?" Akira Stone's voice suddenly rose a few degrees, and he looked at Marco incredulously, and shouted, "You wouldn't happen to not know how to get to Loguetown, would you?"
Marco was immediately unconvinced when he heard this, and he said loudly, "Who said I don't know? Isn't Loguetown in the East Blue, we'll set off from the New World, pass through Fish-Man Island and enter the first half of the Grand Line, and then pass through the Calm Belt, and we can return to the East Blue."
"Are you sure?" Seeing that Marco seemed to be telling the truth, Akira Stone still couldn't help but ask.
Marco answered calmly, "Of course."
Akira Stone said, "Then may I ask, how are we going to reach Fish-Man Island, that's 10,000 meters underwater."
Marco said with a smile, "You can rest assured about this, we used to enter the New World from the Grand Line, as long as we coat a layer of film on the ship, we can reach Fish-Man Island, as for a ship with a coating, that's even simpler, don't forget that we're pirates, hehe."
Akira Stone instantly understood Marco's meaning, yes ah, they were pirates, what were pirates? Burning, killing, and looting, although they didn't need to do it so absolutely, it still wasn't a problem to rob a ship; and Akira Stone didn't have any aversion to this kind of thing, he wasn't the kind of pedantic person, especially in the pirate world, as long as they could achieve their goal, what did it matter if the means were a little ruthless, as long as they didn't cross the bottom line.
At the same time, Akira Stone was also very emotional in his heart, although he had been a pirate for nearly two years, as of now, he still didn't have the awareness of a pirate, otherwise, he would have thought the same as Marco long ago, as long as they found a large ship, with Marco's strength, forcibly commandeering it, wouldn't be a problem at all, and then not only would they have a ship, but there would also be people to help them steer it, and it could save them a lot of trouble.
So, Akira Stone and Marco started searching for a target in the New World, there were many ships in the New World, especially pirate ships, and the target of Akira Stone and the two of them this time was precisely a pirate ship, and although Marco was still young now, and far from reaching his later strength, relatively speaking, he was also equivalent to the strength of a Navy Vice Admiral, and robbing a pirate ship was still an easy task.
Akira Stone and Marco didn't waste much time, and they quickly found a target, because the pirate ship they were looking for was just an ordinary pirate ship, and under Marco's absolute strength, they could only helplessly surrender, and according to Marco's instructions, coat the ship and enter Fish-Man Island.
With a ship, and with people, Akira Stone and they immediately snuck into the underwater Fish-Man Island, and it had to be said, this was still the first time that Akira Stone had snuck into such a deep seabed, and moreover, he didn't know what kind of special material the coating was made of, and it was actually able to withstand such a large water pressure, in short, although they also encountered some trouble in the process, they still quickly reached the junction point of the New World and the first half of the Grand Line, Fish-Man Island.
