Chapter 169 - 169. Marco (2/2)
Bleh!
Spurting out blood Perospero did his best not to lose consciousness. He hatefully looked in Violet's direction.
It was her who struck just now.
Flare didn't waste a moment and flashed before Perospero.
Losing an arm and still reeling from the effects of Violet's sniping Perospero failed to react in time.
Flare slashed down and cut through Perospero's c.h.e.s.t.
How can I...
Shock and unwillingness filed Perospero's eyes. He never imagined he would fall here and that too at the hands of a nobody marine.
At the same time Perospero fell, Dali also finished his fight. He cut Daifuku's throat and killed him.
When their opponents fell Dali and Flare sat down immediately. They were breathing heavily and didn't have the enough strength to even lift a finger.
Leo nodded from the distance and said, ”Get the crew, and...
He was half way through his words when he felt a presence fall down from the sky.
It was a bird burning with blue flames. The bird landed infront of them.
Violet immediately raised her gun and aimed at it.
The blue flame bird morphed into a man with sparse hair and wearing an open shirt. He had a tattoo on his c.h.e.s.t.
”Whitebeard First Division Commander, Phoenix, Marco!”
Violet involuntarily yelled.
Leo was also surprised by Marco's arrival. He said to Violet, ”You go ahead, I will catch up later.”
Violet wanted to say something but ultimately decided not to and left.
Marco waited for her to leave and said, ”So, you are going after Big Mom?”
Leo shrugged, ”Hey, she is crazy and wants to kill me. It's fair if I kill a few of her men, right?”
Marco laughed, ”I guess it's fair.”
Leo asked, ”I am surprised, why are you here?”
Marco pointed to the town and said, ”Someone I know lives here. Big Mom gathers ingredients from all over the world, if they are in a good mood they might pay, if not, they will just kill and rob. He was worried and contacted me, so here I am.”
Leo wasn't surprised by his words and said, ”You know, you guys aren't like pirates. You pay your bills at a restaurant, you apologize when in the wrong and you will help your friends. I find it very hard to believe that you are pirates.”
Marco grinned, ”Pirates seek freedom and treasures. We just follow that creed.”
Leo replied, ”Yes. But your kind also kills and loot.”
Marco shrugged, ”That's either idiots who are drunk with power and greed or those who hold no moral bottom line. Don't tell me there ain't any bad sheeps in the navy?”
Leo didn't immediately reply and stared at him for a while before smiling, ”You are right. As long as one has a bottom line, it doesn't matter whether one is a pirate or a marine.”
Marco also laughed and asked, ”Since you are here, wanna grab a drink. My friend owns a pub as well.”
”Alright.”
