One Piece: My Infinity Gauntlet! - Chapter 430: Personal Favor
Shanks had been to the Island of the Final Destination as part of the crew of Roger the Pirate King, and he was the one who knew of the existence of the one-piece and what secrets were hidden there!
And all along he was looking for someone who could carry on the ‘Spirit of D’, rather than coveting the new Pirate King title.
He is planning something less known!
So Will felt that Shanks didn’t need to hide the last piece of Red Road Poneglyph.
But Whitebeard was different, once he and Roger were rivals, enemies as well as friends, and they were both working towards becoming the Pirate King, so there was no reason why Whitebeard would not collect the key to becoming the Pirate King – the Road Poneglyph!
Then he almost gave up on the dream and turned his back on his ‘sons’, so much so that he ‘forgot’ about it all these years.
Until he died in the war, everything was handed over to Marco as an inheritance…
Will surmised that it is very likely that the last unaccounted for piece of the history of the Road Poneglyph was hidden in some secret island by Whitebeard before his death, and now only Marco knows this secret!
Anyway, even if he guesses wrongly, he can eliminate a wrong answer, so Will seems to be very indifferent.
However, Marco, who had been frowning and silent, made him feel like he had won a lottery, and indeed the victory belonged to the one who had a wild imagination like him!
The trip was worthwhile!
“Pop’s Legacy … How did you know?” Marco’s question was almost an admission, just not sure if the piece of history he had in his hands was the one he was looking for, but even if it wasn’t, it wasn’t a loss.
“It’s nothing, just a guess. I didn’t have any hope, but I didn’t expect to get a surprise.” Will ‘told the truth’.
Marco smiled bitterly and rubbed his temples, “There is indeed a piece of history text among the things left behind by Pops, and it is the key to the final island, the Red Road Poneglyph. I think Pops also wished to become the Pirate King, but unfortunately…”
I knew it!
Although it was not Will’s biggest dream to become the Pirate King, he was still a little excited to see the dawn of collecting Four Red Poneglyphs all at once.
No matter what, the ‘key’ was still best in his own hands!
“Although it is a little unconventional, I need a topography of the four pieces of Red Road Poneglyphs. I already have two pieces in my hands, counting this one from Old Man Whitebeard, I have already collected three-quarters of the key, and the last piece of the whereabouts of the last piece, I also have an idea.”
Even if they didn’t agree, he was bound to get his hands on this piece of history, the only difference was whether it was necessary to tear his face off.
Marco also knows that without a proper solution, the friendly relations between the two sides may come to an end.
But he didn’t think there was a need for that.
Their Pops, Whitebeard is gone, and all they can think about is how to avenge him, and no one will care who the next Pirate King will be.
And it was just a topography, not to rob the old man’s inheritance, so it was not unacceptable to pay back the favour they owed with this condition.
If ‘faceless’ Will ended up becoming the King of Pirates, perhaps they would be more receptive.
After thinking it over, Marco said bluntly, “Just one Edward Weevil is not enough.”
“That’s just a gift, but other than that I owe you guys a favour.”
“Deal!”
Two hands clasped together, witnessing a step closer to the intimate relationship between two legendary pirate groups.
….
Once everything was done, the two parties mingled together for another joyous cocktail party.
“By the way, why haven’t I seen Ace?” Will wrapped the entire ship in an electromagnetic shield to keep the rain from seeping down, but it was the overcast sky that made it uncomfortable to watch.
“That guy Ace has gone out to make a purchase, and he should be back by the count of time.” Marco and the others said casually as they gorged themselves on their food, knowing that they were not living in a good environment after Whitebeard’s death and that they were all young men who would rather fight the Navy than leave behind the Whitebeard flag on the mast of the Moby Dick.
They would probably be in even worse shape now if they hadn’t saved enough money to keep them fed and clothed.
The party almost emptied the food reserves on the Avengers, but Will still had emergency food in his infinity gauntlet, so he wouldn’t starve in the middle of the sea.
In a short while, the said Ace arrived and pulled a large boatload of food back.
Seeing Will again also made Ace very happy, after all, among these people he owed Will the most favours, and there were also common topics like Luffy and Sabo to talk about.
“After waiting for a while, I’m going to do something big, if you guys are interested then you can join me.”
After three rounds of drinking, Will also did not forget to try to rally this group of ready to fight people, for the final battle. In the face of that unknown powerful enemy, the more strength in your hand, the more insurance he has, and the remnant party of the Whitebeard Pirates is not a weak chicken!
“How big is it?”
The interest on everyone’s faces is not very strong, after all, these people are werewolves who have experienced the big scene of the war at the top, how big can they get? Attacking the Redline?
Don’t tell me!?
As if something had come to mind, Marco looked at him in amazement!
“It’s not time yet to tell you guys. But you will know it immediately if I start. Before I leave, I will leave a den-den mushi. It will be up to you if you come or not.” Will tilted his head and poured in another large glass of beer, then burped comfortably.
Only Marco guessed what the other party was going to do, although it’s a guess of his, but since it’s Faceless Will, the madman, it’s not impossible right?
This guy is really…
The only reason why Will doesn’t want to do it now is that he lacks a name, and he is still a pirate in the end, unlike the revolutionary army led by Dragon that has a popular base, so even if he overthrows the rule of the Celestial Dragons, it’s still troublesome for him to take that position.
The Celestial Dragons are bad, but the pirates are no good either, driving out the tigers and inviting the lions, both carnivores, what difference does it make to them, the sheep eating grass?
Will has a hunch that the secrets hidden in the Final Island will help him solve this problem to a great extent.
Then he will be able to justifiably take his army to the RedLine where those bastards are living!
