Chapter 390 - 392 (1/2)
Poison Cherry Island.
On the shore of the island there was a large windless area, to which the cherry petals almost did not reach.
A large number of people were gathered here, each with a skull-shaped tattoo on his body, with two massive crossbones in the background and a wide inverted sickle above his teeth.
These were...
The pirates of Belous!
At this moment, there was a young Phoenix Marko, less than thirty years old, standing on the shore.
He stared through the telescope at the sea in the distance, ” This is indeed the Black Pearl of John's Pirates...»
”Hey! Inform your father immediately!!»
Marco lowered his telescope and spoke to a companion standing nearby.
The other nodded and immediately ran deeper into the island.
There are not many pirates in the vast sea that can make the Pirates of Belous serious.
These are Big Mama, the Kaido Beast, and several other powerful New World pirates, including John.
”It looks like he's here because of us.»
Vista, who was standing next to Marco, put his hands on the hilts of his blades, gazing intently at the ship in the distance.
Joaz, who was sitting on a rock nearby, said rudely, ” Hmm, this time we'll sink them to the bottom of the ocean if John dares to challenge his father!»
”Maybe John didn't come looking for a fight...»
Marco raised his telescope again, looking at John's Pirate ship: ”John should be well aware that he will not gain any benefit from fighting us, he is not crazy, unlike the Kaido Beast...hmm?»
Marco suddenly broke off and turned the telescope slightly to the left.
Not far from the Black Pearl, another ship was sailing.
On closer inspection, it turned out to be an ordinary ship of medium size, without any identification marks.
It didn't seem to be a pirate ship, but rather a merchant ship of some sort.
Marco turned his telescope back to the Black Pearl of John's Pirates and noticed that they had adjusted their course slightly and were rapidly gaining on the merchant ship.
”John's pirates are going to attack some ship.»
Marco lowered the telescope and said, ” I'm not sure.
Flower Blade Vista, Diamond Joz, and the other Whitebeard Pirates nearby also spotted the small ship, quickly being overtaken by the Black Pearl of John's Pirates.
”These are not our people.»
Vista's hands were clenched on the hilts of his blades.
Marco folded his arms and looked at Vista, ” It looks like a normal merchant ship...they were very unlucky to run into John's Pirates.»
The Whitebeard Pirates occupy some territories in the New World, but Poison Sakura Island is not one of them, and the merchant ship does not have the flag of the Whitebeard Pirates, so it clearly has nothing to do with their allies.
The pirates of Belous are usually quite poor, because they very rarely engage in looting.
Usually they rob other pirates or the property of the World's Nobles, trying not to touch ordinary civilians.
But they are certainly not good-natured or heroes.
None of them were going to go up against John's Pirates because of an ordinary merchant ship, especially since Whitebeard himself hadn't arrived yet, and the distance was too great to be able to help.
Vista removed his hands from the hilts of his blades and shook his head, ” If John is really targeting a merchant ship, then the crew can only bemoan their bad luck.»
Under the supervision of the Pirates of Belous.
The distance between the two ships sailing in the direction of Poison Sakura Island was rapidly closing.
Boom! Boom! Boom!!
