Pirate Merchant

"That kid killed Ace and Whitebeard, but Marco, you leisurely returned to the new world as if nothing happened. With your friendship with Whitebeard, you didn't go to seek revenge on that 'businessman', It's a 'miracle'."

Going to the sea of ​​the New World, Shanks, one of the Four Emperors, sat on a snatched naval warship, drinking wine with Marco face to face, and his pirate ship was with this huge naval warship. sailing.

"Your sense of smell is really keen, but this is a matter of our Whitebeard Pirates, and it has nothing to do with Shanks, right?"

As the well-deserved No.2 in the Whitebeard Pirates, Marco, who is in power at this time, is not polite at all when facing Shanks.

"Hahahaha~ I knew that the old man with white beard didn't die so easily. Judging from the sudden change of attack by white beard before, Ace should be fine, right? But that kid is really kind, he sold it in front of the Warring States White Beard is such a big favor, when I was resting in Windmill Town before, I thought that man would be someone in the future."

Shanks covered his forehead and laughed loudly. He was in a very happy mood and he did not forget to lower his voice, and he did not intend to announce what he had guessed at all.

"Whatever you think, the 'last order' my father gave me was to fully support that man, and I was just following the order."

Amidst Shanks' bold laughter, Marco couldn't help laughing with pride.

"Hehe, don't be too happy. Although Whitebeard has retired and Ace can continue to live in a different form, the king is born to be a king. Ace is not the kind of man who is willing to be peaceful. If Ace Once Ace's identity is exposed, what the young man and Ace will face is the pursuit of the world government regardless of the cost."

Shanks clinked glasses with Marco, and said to Marco with a chuckle.

"Dad once said at the reception again"

Marco raised his head and drank the wine in one gulp.

"He said that there is actually no difference between a merchant and a pirate. They both turn other people's things into their own. The difference is that pirates use violence to obtain wealth, while merchants use money to buy wealth. The world government has long been eyeing that A man, and that man can make the world government too afraid to take action against him. That's why Dad was not surprised by the behavior of the "Ship Master" in that war, and even predicted that he would definitely help us .”

Marco smiled happily, looking forward to reuniting with the 'reformed' Papa and Ace after returning to the new world.

"Marco, you have to be careful with that man, he is like a mixture of yin and yang, when you think he is helping you, he is actually using you, he is the king, no. He is a tyrant in troubled times , a madman whose strength and ambition perfectly match, but he has a gentle appearance, hehehe, if you give him a few years, this era will no longer belong to pirates."

Shanks poured wine for Marco without any airs, and said to him in a very happy mood.

"What? In order to maintain the majesty of the Four Emperors, you are going to attack him?"

Marco asked with interest.

"Hahaha, I won't do such boring things, I'm just happy for the birth of the new four emperors, even if he won't admit that he is a pirate, but from now on, he will be the new The fourth emperor in the world, an emperor who can make the navy obey his orders, although the balance was broken, a wonderful balance appeared around him."

Shanks clinked glasses with Marco again, and said to Marco in a very happy mood that he was very happy to have such a young character who could turn his hands over his hands.

"Yeah, the Warring States period valued him so much, and he didn't hesitate to ask the three generals to protect an 'outsider', and Dad must be recuperating on his ship at this time. Dad has been very optimistic about him since before, thinking that he will grow up in Ace. Watch us for him until we get up"

Marko couldn't help but feel a little guilty when he recalled his father's reassuring expression when he mentioned Mu Qian at the reception. He had followed his father for more than 30 years, but he didn't have the strength to make him feel at ease.

"It seems that White Beard has also seen some clues. Although that kid gives people an extremely dangerous feeling, he has a bearing that makes people trust him unconditionally. I hope to have the opportunity to deal with him in the future. "

Shanks said expectantly.

"However, compared to Shanks, you are more optimistic about him, Kaido and BIG MOM, who are also four emperors, will not allow him to grow and develop"

Marco, who had already regarded Mu Qian as his "family", began to worry.

"Hahaha, don't underestimate him. Didn't you just say that Whitebeard might be on his ship? The daddy of the Whitebeard Pirates would destroy the world if he got angry, and that boy made me three It feels like the Rocks Pirates from eighteen years ago are being revived."

Shanks spoke highly of Mu Qian and said to Marco.

"The blue ghost Tori and the red ghost Broki, the two super pirates who offered a reward of over 100 million a hundred years ago, Sky Island Enel, who ate the thunder fruit like a god, and the successor of Gore D. Roger Bloodline Portgas D. Ace, one of the Four Emperors, Whitebeard Edward Newgate, I have only seen such a terrifying lineup so far, hehehe, although I don’t want to admit it, but if If he can integrate these forces, then no one in the new world can compete with him, not even Kaido and Big Mom.”

Shanks put down his wine glass, and seriously analyzed the strength Mu Qian possessed at this time.

However, even though he has never had any contact with Mu Qian, he knows that the "ship master" will not integrate his power to start a war with the Four Emperors.

Regarding the evaluation of the "ship master", White Beard is indeed right. The ship master is a businessman. If he uses violence to obtain profits, then he is no longer a businessman, but a pirate.

"In any case, please keep the fact that Ace and Dad are still alive a secret. That gentleman will never repay our kindness, so we must keep this secret even if it means risking our lives."

Marco sat up straight with a very serious expression, and then begged Shanks on the opposite side with his head on the ground in the way of a soldier sitting down.

".This is not only your secret, it will also be my secret. Like you, that kid saved Ace. Whether it is for the deceased Captain Roger or for that kid Luffy, It's all a great kindness, so I can't repay his kindness to me, and I will try my best to keep this secret."

Shanks shook his head slightly and hurriedly lifted the kneeling Marco, answered and assured him with a very serious expression.

"However, you also need to promise me that you must not tell Luffy about this until the 'ship master' himself tells Luffy that Ace is still alive, because Luffy is a fool who can't lie Child, it is easy to cause that 'Mr.' to be hunted down by the world government with all its strength."

Shanks said to Marco very seriously, if Luffy did not report strong hostility to Muqian, then the navy would inevitably doubt whether Ace was really dead.
