Chapter 540: Chapter 438: Whitebeard Pirates vs. Black Spade Pirates, War Begins!

Alabasta, Rainy Land.

The Navy is searching the entire Rainy Land, arresting all Baroque Works remnants, no matter how insignificant.

Vice Admiral Drake hung up the phone and looked at the Navy Admiral beside him, softly reporting: "Admiral Aokiji, we haven’t lost track of the Child of the Demon, Nico Robin. Major Uehara is already lurking near her."

After speaking, Vice Admiral Drake continued: "According to the information provided by Major Uehara, the escaped Sand Crocodile Crocodile will also be accompanying Nico Robin into the second half of the Grand Line, the New World."

"Hmm, noted, return the Buster Call Radio Snail to me!"

Aokiji took the golden Radio Snail from Drake’s hand, mounted his bike, and waved casually: "Then I’ll leave the rest to you!"

This battle against Seven Warlords of the Sea Crocodile and the siege on Baroque Works seemed anticlimactic, at least for now, it was over.

Finally, Crocodile reached the harbor.

In his most dire moment, Nico Robin extended a helping hand, taking him to a ship filled with orange trees, which immediately set sail away from Alabasta.

The three stood together at the bow, watching as they gradually left the Desert Kingdom, also watching the Hoshigaki Kisame and others standing at the harbor.

Crocodile clenched his fist gloomily and murmured: "Nico Robin, you’ve really found a good group of helpers, recruited four people, three of whom turned out to be traitors!"

"Who knew these people hid so deeply..."

Nico Robin’s lips curled with a smile, softly saying: "This time it seems we’ve been calculated by Hoshigaki Kisame, but we can’t just let it go! This country has Historical Poneglyphs; when the Navy no longer focuses on us... then we’ll return!"

"Hmm."

Crocodile slowly nodded; his gaze rested on Nico Robin and Uehara Naraku: "Let’s go, set sail for the New World! Let me see those monsters again!"

"Yes, Captain."

Nico Robin smiled and nodded, continuing: "Should we recruit some crew members?"

The title of Captain made Crocodile’s expression freeze; he seemed to have never heard this title, as he had always sailed alone before.

This title felt like a responsibility.

Crocodile’s expression softened as he looked at Uehara Naraku and asked: "Hey, what are you good at, Uehara Naraku?"

"I happen to know he’s a qualified ship doctor!"

Nico Robin’s lips revealed a smile, replying on Uehara Naraku’s behalf: "Mr. Uehara has a family bloodline comprising a miraculous ability that can rapidly heal injuries."

"..."

Uehara Naraku seemed a bit shy, hesitantly admitting as he stepped forward to help Crocodile, healing his wounds with Star Infusion.

At this moment, Crocodile felt his energy surge, suddenly desiring to return to Alabasta for a few more rounds!

"What is this ability?"

"Uh, sort of an exchange!"

Uehara Naraku rubbed his palms, weakly saying: "I deplete my own stamina to help heal you; after using it once, I’ll be weak and powerless all day. Last time in the East Sea, when I helped a villager heal wounds, Miss Robin discovered this secret..."

"Fine."

Crocodile slowly nodded, softly saying: "In the future, don’t waste this ability on the weak."

This ship doctor seems quite reliable.

This ship doctor is definitely someone to protect; with him, even after serious wounds, he could return to battle.

Crocodile’s gaze slowly drifted, settling on Nico Robin: "Nico Robin, you can’t only read Historical Poneglyphs, can you?"

"I can help grind coffee..."

Nico Robin’s smile was very warm.

"So useless..."

Crocodile casually lit a cigar, coldly saying: "Forget it, I can handle everything else myself, let’s go directly to Shampodi! After coating there, straight into the New World!"

Crocodile himself is quite the all-rounder.

Whether it’s navigation, cooking, fighting, or shipbuilding, Crocodile seems capable of doing it all, no wonder he never needed partners.

Clearly, everything he could do alone, why raise others for nothing?

Unless they are indispensable talents.

Like the current Nico Robin and Uehara Naraku.

Nico Robin is the only one at sea capable of reading Historical Poneglyphs, Uehara Naraku has excellent healing abilities.

As their ship headed towards Shampodi Archipelago, the entire sea experienced drastic changes due to shifts in the Seven Warlords of the Sea, with new bounty orders released.

Sand Crocodile, former Seven Warlords of the Sea, bounty of 830 million Belly.

Child of the Demon, Nico Robin, bounty of 290 million Belly.

Baroque Advanced Agent, Uehara Naraku, bounty of 85 million Belly.

Former Baroque Advanced Agent, Blast Artist, Deidara, bounty of 110 million Belly.

Former Baroque Advanced Agent, Puppet Artist, Sasori, bounty of 80 million Belly.

Besides this, Hoshigaki Kisame’s bounty was nullified.

The World Government announced the removal of Crocodile and Jinbe’s positions in the Seven Warlords of the Sea, directly announced new Seven Warlords of the Sea candidates.

With Kakuzu and Hoshigaki Kisame respectively succeeding as the new Seven Warlords of the Sea.

Kakuzu’s name is extremely renowned; he is currently the most famous bounty hunter at sea, making many pirates tremble.

Hoshigaki Kisame also suddenly rose as a Super Rookie Great Pirate this year.

If it weren’t for the high bounties of Portgas D. Ace and Uchiha Sasuke, Hoshigaki Kisame should have been the strongest Super Rookie this year.

With the support of the Navy of the World Government, Hoshigaki Kisame decisively eliminated the remnants of the Sun Pirates and announced the takeover of the entire Fishman Island.

Because Fishman Island is Whitebeard’s territory.

This incident was also seen as a provocation by the World Government against Whitebeard.

Just as everyone was waiting for the response of the Whitebeard Pirates, a piece of news once again shook the world from Whitebeard’s sea region.

The Whitebeard Pirates and the Black Spade Pirates went to war!

In the second half of the Grand Line, on a small island within Whitebeard’s sea region.

As the Black Spade Pirates were resting on the shore, a large sea ship docked at the island, and a tall figure holding a large knife appeared at the bow.

In an instant, a powerful wave of energy swept across the entire island!

Supreme King Haki!

The strength of this Supreme King Haki left no room for opposition, and apart from Uchiha Sasuke and Ace, the rest of the crew were knocked unconscious by the impact!

Even Ace felt a bit unsteady!

"This is... Whitebeard Papa is here!"

The captive of the Black Spade Pirates, Jinbe, who was tied up tightly, showed a hint of concern on his face: "Why is Papa coming at this time?"

"Is this Whitebeard?"

Uchiha Sasuke slowly finished the skewer in his hand, pulled out a napkin to wipe the corner of his mouth, and leisurely picked up the sword beside him.

Uchiha Sasuke steadied Ace’s body, speaking nonchalantly: "Ace, wait here for me a moment, I’ll be right back..."

"Wait..."

Ace grabbed Sasuke’s arm to stop him, showing a hint of stubbornness on his face as he said in a low voice: "Sasuke, this is my battle, that guy is someone I must challenge no matter what!"

"..."

Uchiha Sasuke fell into silence.

After a long pause, Sasuke sat back down and calmly said: "I understand, then go ahead! Whether you win or lose, you’ll always be my captain."

"Don’t worry!"

Ace smiled: "Even for the world’s best vice captain, I won’t lose to that guy!"

After speaking, Ace resolutely headed towards the shore.

Whitebeard Edward Newgate stood on the bow of the Moby Dick, gripping his large knife, grinned and said: "Gurararara... Let me see who dares to come for my head!"

"Portgas D. Ace!"

A flame, accompanied by Ace’s voice, swept towards the Moby Dick!

Marco, standing beside Whitebeard, rolled his dead fish eyes and couldn’t help but comment on the flame: "With just this bit of power, he wants to challenge Papa?"

In the next moment, light blue wings suddenly unfolded from Marco’s body, ready to block the incoming flame!

This is the Zoan-Type·Mythical·Phoenix Fruit power, a Devil Fruit on Marco’s body that is even rarer than Logia-type Devil Fruits!

Unexpectedly, the next moment, a slash blew Marco away!

Uchiha Sasuke slowly retracted his Ninja Blade, his voice echoing across the shore: "Hey, even I didn’t interfere in Ace’s battle. What gives you the right?"

"Gurararara..."

The smile on Whitebeard’s face deepened even further, and his Haki swept away the attacking flames, laughing loudly: "Then let them be, no one should interfere, this is a battle between captains!"

"...Papa!"

Flower Sword Vista hurriedly tried to intervene.

However, Whitebeard shook his head, leaped with his large knife in hand, landed on the shore, looked at Ace in front of him, and said with a smile: "Kid, you’ve found a pretty good vice captain!"

"Sure have!"

Ace wiped the sweat from his face and said in a low voice: "Even for Sasuke, I absolutely won’t lose to you!"

"Gurararara... Then let me see what you’ve got!"

Whitebeard grinned and took steps towards Ace, knocking the Black Spade Pirate’s captain to the ground with just one punch!

Truly...

Surprisingly weak.

Even if Ace stood back up resolutely, he was still easily knocked to the ground by Whitebeard, just as easily as an adult would a child.

The disparity in this battle was just too great.

When the fight between the captains of the Whitebeard Pirates and the Black Spade Pirates began, some of Whitebeard’s crew quietly landed on the shore, surrounding Uchiha Sasuke.

These people wanted to rescue Jinbe.

Flower Sword Vista, with his two swords in hand, addressed Uchiha Sasuke: "Kid, what you have there is the Supreme Great Blade Kusanagi, right? Let’s have a duel between sword masters!"

"..."

Uchiha Sasuke was silent for a second.

The next second, a cold smile appeared on Uchiha Sasuke’s lips as he looked at Ace being beaten by Whitebeard in the distance, then turned to face Flower Sword Vista in front of him!

"Alright."

Uchiha Sasuke’s smile suddenly became fierce, and a powerful aura emanated from him, enveloped by the purple Susanoo!

The fully formed, towering Susanoo revealed itself!

Uchiha Sasuke maneuvered Susanoo to draw out the massive Ninja Blade in its hand, launching a slash that sent Flower Sword Vista and all those around him flying!
