C1031 Even the Heavens Gave Him Face
The atmosphere at the great dock was suddenly stifling.
Marco and the other captains had a hint of vigilance on their faces.
On the other hand, Lagi and the others who were under Red Hair's command had curious looks on their faces.
The Honeycomb Island had always been a place that pirate would fight for.
Before Whitebeard, the Rocks had occupied it for decades.
After the Rocks Pirates announced its disbandment, a series of battles broke out.
In the end, Whitebeard relied on his powerful strength to change the ownership of the island to his subordinates.
Later, in the original work, after the battle at the top, the Whitebeard Pirates was defeated. As the new four emperors, Blackbeard Teach still firmly seized the island.
This was enough to show that the Honeycomb Island, which was regarded as a paradise, had its own special characteristics.
"Hehe, Whitebeard, you are still the same. You like to pierce through the last layer of gauze." Red Hair Shanks laughed dryly.
"But you are right. It is said that a special whirlpool will appear at random times on the Honeycomb Island."
"Every time this vortex appears, it will bring one or even several Devil Fruits. Over time, a legend will spread across the sea."
"Honeycomb Island and the legendary Devil Fruit Tree have a secret path that connects them. This time, besides sending off the golden lion, I have come to ask Whitebeard to give you face and let me see where the legendary vortex is."
Red Hair Shanks was indeed on the pirate king's boat, Roger. He had served as an intern.
However, it didn't mean that he had the qualifications to go with them to explore Honeycomb Island's secret opportunity.
"Haha, red-haired brat, I never thought that you would have a superficial time. Asking me to give you face is a huge joke." Whitebeard laughed out loud and casually picked up the huge wine plate.
After drinking a mouthful of wine, he said, "If not for our alliance, I would have thrown you out a long time ago."
"However, don't say that I don't give you face. The secrets that the outside world has about the Honeycomb Island do exist."
"However, this vortex that can bring Devil Fruits is not something that can be controlled by someone. Perhaps it will appear today, or perhaps next year. It is impossible to guess the time."
As he spoke up to here, Whitebeard turned around and looked at the entrance of the ocean.
"And that vortex will appear here. After I occupied the island, I only encountered it five times. There was one time when the Rocks Pirates disbanded and Kaido and I fought for the island. At that time, there were seven Devil Fruits."
"Three of them were taken away by Kaido and became the three disasters under his command. Two of them were taken away by Ling Ling and fell into her son's hands."
"The last two. One was given to Marco, and the other to Jozu. They were the fruits of their own power."
As soon as these words were spoken, the expressions of many people changed slightly.
In the face of these secrets, especially those related to the subordinates of the four emperors, the origin of their outstanding strength.
To the vast majority of people, they never would have thought that it would be related to the Honeycomb Island.
However, it was precisely because of this reason that the uniqueness of the Honeycomb Island in this sea was highlighted.
"It seems that this is a treasured land. No wonder so many people have come all the way here and called Honeycomb Island a paradise." Ben Beckman held a cigar in his mouth and spat out a mouthful of cigarette.
"To be able to occupy this place, it's enough to produce an endless stream of powerful combat strength, allowing a power to last for a long time."
"However, with Marine Headquarter's means, they will definitely know the uniqueness of the Honeycomb Island. They will allow the island to fall into the hands of outsiders. It's hard to say if they can also control some of this special place."
Facing Ben Beckman, who was reputed to be a smart person, he made this conjecture.1
Everyone's expression changed slightly. As Whitebeard's first team leader, Marco was the first to speak.
"Ben Beckman, your words are not very correct. After the Honeycomb Island was under the control of my father, the name of the paradise was completely different from the Rocks."
"There is a rule here that doesn't make a name for itself. As long as you join Whitebeard's team, you will encounter the devil whirlpool on Honeycomb Island and obtain the Devil Fruit. No matter who it is, it belongs to him. It is precisely because of this one step into the heavens that it is called the pirate Paradise."
Marco paused for a moment. A trace of sadness flashed across his face as he said, "The devil whirlpool that appeared closest to us and the person who obtained the fruit is precisely Thatch's secret fruit."
"Unfortunately, that bastard Blackbeard Teach dared to openly break this iron rule, kill Thatch, and seize the secret fruit that belongs to him. This is the greatest insult to the paradise, and also the greatest contempt he has for his father. We will definitely take revenge in the future!"
Secret fruit?
The expressions of the red-haired man and the others changed.
They never thought that the demon vortex would appear not long ago.
It was also the reason why Blackbeard Teach had betrayed them and killed Thatch.
However, it was also because of this reason that the importance of Honeycomb Island could be explained.
"Humph, if the matter this time was too serious and there were too many concerns, I would have sent Blackbeard into the ocean long ago and made him pay the price for breaking the rules." Whitebeard's expression darkened. He crushed the huge wine bowl with one hand.
"However, you are not lucky this time. The devil whirlpool only appeared for half a year. I'm afraid that it will not appear for a long time. If you want to join in the fun, you will have to join my team and stay on the Honeycomb Island. Only then will you have the chance to encounter it."
For this devil whirlpool that only appeared at random times, there was no pattern to it.
Whitebeard's words seemed to have offended Red Hair, but he didn't take it to heart. He looked at the dock again and said, "I'm afraid that you will have to join my team and stay on the Honeycomb Island. "It seems that I am not as lucky as Captain Roger," the red-haired man said. "Let's continue with the funeral of the golden lion."
"The holy land, Maria, was destroyed. The sudden appearance of the black dragon, Akunologia, is going to make this sea more lively."
As he spoke, Red Hair grabbed another bottle of wine on the ground and walked to the golden lion's coffin.
"Father, a huge whirlpool suddenly appeared at the port of the pier. There seems to be a mysterious black shadow at the center. I'm afraid that it's the formation of the devil's whirlpool."
A cry of surprise suddenly came from the distant observatory.
Everyone present, including Red Hair Shanks and Whitebeard, could not hold their breath anymore. They turned their eyes and locked onto the surface of the sea.
Looking at the originally calm surface of the sea, it was as if a pair of invisible hands were stirring, quickly forming a huge whirlpool.
A strange, demon-like figure gathered at the center.
Whitebeard and the others' expressions turned stiff.
In their knowledge, there was no pattern to the appearance of the demonic whirlpool.
It had only appeared once half a year ago. Now that the red hair had arrived, they thought they would let him run into a wall and return.
But the demon vortex happened to appear.
Was this the heavens giving him face?
