Chapter 391: Whitebeard

Grand Line.

New World.

A ship with white sails was sailing on a calm sea.

The weather was calm and sunny, and cherry blossom trees were falling from the sky out of nowhere.

They floated gently in the air, landing softly on the deck of the ship and the surface of the sea.

"I didn't expect to see such beautiful scenery in the New World."

Robin stepped out of the cabin and admired the petals of the cherry blossoms gently falling from the sky.

She reached out her hand, intending to grab some petals.

Initially, Robin thought it might be some kind of mirage or illusion, but was surprised to see a real cherry blossom petal fall on her palm.

Surprised, Robin picked it up with her fingers and began to examine it carefully.

"This is a real cherry blossom petal..."

"Perhaps the unpredictable climate of the New World brought them from some island."

Yeruashi went up on deck and looked up at the sky.

In his perception, these were real sakura petals, this scene even made Yeruashi wonder about a person's ability, but it can't appear here because it belongs to another world.

Yeruashi scanned the surrounding sea by activating the Rinne Tenseigan.

Looking in the direction where the cherry blossoms had come from, he quickly discovered the island.

From this island, numerous cherry blossoms spread out over the sea in all directions.

"Mmm..."

"Since when did the climate of the New World become so cozy?"

Yeruashi said thoughtfully and also reached out to catch the petal, then began to examine it carefully.

It had been more than ten days since they left Calm Belt and began their journey to the New World, but in all that time, they had never encountered a storm or any other natural disaster.

The weather conditions had always been very friendly.

But judging from all known information, the weather in the New World shouldn't be so safe.

"Mmm..."

At that moment, surprise flashed in Yeruashi's eyes.

He noticed something unusual about the captured cherry blossom petal.

The fine pollen enveloping the cherry blossom petal slowly penetrated the skin of the palm, spreading like a kind of toxin, but since it has the body of the Six Ways, this pollen was immediately destroyed upon contact with the power of the six ways.

Yeruashi gently waved his hand, threw a petal and then looked at Robin, who was still holding a cherry petal in his hand, "Hey, these cherry petals are poisonous."

"Huh?!"

Robin flinched and then quickly became uncomfortable.

She felt a strong itching and burning sensation on her palms, neck, arms and other exposed parts of her body that came in contact with the falling cherry petals.

"Ah..."

Robin immediately retreated into the hut, but the sensation still did not go away, but began to spread throughout her body, as if she had been smeared from head to toe with pepper.

Yeruashi smiled as he watched the cherry blossom petals gently falling from the sky, "This is the second half of Grand Line, something like this can happen here at every corner..."

He returned to the cabin and stopped Robin, who was about to go to the bathroom to wash up.

Yeruashi's fingertips, wrapped in a pale emerald sheen, gently glided over Robin's neck and shoulders.

Robin immediately felt a pleasant coolness emanating from Yeruashi's fingers.

The burning and itching that increasingly invaded her body began to recede rapidly after the contact with Yeruashi's fingers, until it disappeared completely.

"All right."

Yeruashi took Robin's hand and emitted a brighter emerald glow, cleansing it of the large amount of toxin it had absorbed due to prolonged contact with the cherry blossom petal.

Robin breathed a sigh of relief as she felt her body completely return to normal, "Thank you, sir."

She blushed slightly, as if she had been hit by some cherry blossom petals, as she remembered how Yeruashi's fingers had slid down her body.

Yeruashi turned to look at the cherry blossoms falling at the entrance of the huts and gently waved his hand.

Immediately, a strong wind blew, tossing all the cherry blossom petals on the deck of the ship into the sea.

The numerous cherry blossom petals in the sky above the ship also flew in different directions.

"The second half of the Grand Line is really very dangerous..."

Robin approached Yeruashi and looked cautiously at the deck of the ship, "One should always remain alert and cautious."

Yeruashi turned his head, looking at Robin with a smile, "This sea really isn't very friendly and you should be a little more careful, but not too much, because I'm here."

Those words coming out of the mouth of an ordinary person might seem like nothing more than arrogance and boastfulness, but hearing these words from Yeruashi, Robin immediately felt relieved and blushed even more.

Just as he was about to say something, Yeruashi suddenly turned his head, looking in a certain direction with interest.

"What happened?"

Robin turned her head sharply to follow Yeruashi, but all she saw was an empty hallway.

Yeruashi's gaze penetrated through the huts, looking out to sea in the distance, then quickly returned, "Nothing, I just saw a pirate ship."

A few dozen kilometers away, a large ship with a pirate flag was sailing the sea.

All the pirates on the deck of this ship wore masks and cloaks that protected their bodies from contact with the cherry blossoms.

Several pirates were running back and forth across the deck with large buckets, washing the falling cherry petals.

"We've reached the 'Sea of Poison Sakura' and we shouldn't be far from the 'Island of Poison Sakura' by now, Captain John."

"Great, full speed ahead."

Captain John, who was standing at the front of the deck, spoke calmly.

"I understand!"

The crew members nearby let out a chorus of exclamations and grabbed the ship's ropes.

They all looked at John in awe and amazement, for their captain was one of the legends of this sea.

Captain John!

One of the crew members of the legendary Rocks Pirates, along with monsters like Kaido Beast, Big Mama, Whitebeard and Golden Lion Shiki!

Now he's one of the strongest pirates in the New World, with a bounty of 2 billion 137 million 900 thousand belli!

After more than a decade ago, the Rocks Pirates were defeated by the combined forces of SP-0, the Navy and Roger's Pirates, and Rocks himself was killed by Golden Roger and Navy Hero Garp, the strongest pirate team completely disintegrated. and Roger's Pirates began to dominate the expanses of the sea.

But many of the members of the disbanded Pirates Rocks quickly gained great fame, beginning to raise huge waves in the vastness of the sea.

Kaido Beast and Big Mama became terrifying pirates, and Golden Lion and Whitebeard, who dominated the last era on par with Golden Roger, don't even need to be reminded of them!

Just as the ship was beginning to gain top speed, the pirate, who was on the lookout at the top of the mast, lowered his spyglass and shouted, "Captain!"

"An unflagged medium-sized ship has been sighted for two hours, probably some kind of merchant ship!"

After hearing the subordinate's report, Captain John immediately grabbed a telescope and looked at a black dot in the distance, "I wouldn't pay attention if the ship was going a different route, but since we are 'underway', I certainly have no intention of letting the merchant ship go... they can only bemoan their terrible luck..."

"Hahahaha, let's have some fun before we meet Whitebeard!!! Adjust the course so the fish definitely won't escape!!!"

Yes.

Set sail to meet Whitebeard.

According to the information just received, the Whitebeard Pirates should be located on Poison Sakura Island.

John would probably have been too lazy to pay attention to a merchant ship halfway if he had been sailing on a different route, but since he was sailing a little further along the same route, the other side could only lament his sad fate and bad luck.
