Chapter 110 The Whitebeard Pirates
Chapter 110 The Whitebeard Pirates
At dinner time, Yamato, who had been turned into a child by Luo Tian's power, finally felt the binding force disappear and instantly returned to her original form.
Upon regaining his freedom, Yamato's anger erupted like a volcano.
She glared at Luo Tian with wide, angry eyes and roared furiously.
"Luo Tian! You're not allowed to use that despicable ability on me again!"
However, in the face of Yamato's roar, Luo Tian only showed a disdainful smile and then responded indifferently.
"Hmph, I'm the captain of this ship. I can do whatever I want, and it's none of your business!"
Upon hearing this, Yamato's face turned red with anger, and for a moment he couldn't find the right words to refute Luo Tian.
She could only sit angrily at the table, pick up her chopsticks, and prepare to channel her grief and anger into her appetite, venting all her rage on the food in front of her.
Moreover, she secretly planned to snatch all the food in front of Luo Tian, leaving him nothing, so that this arrogant guy would taste what it's like to go hungry.
Meanwhile, Luo Tian, seeing Yamato's actions, naturally refused to be outdone.
He quickly realized what was happening and joined the fierce battle for food.
And so, the two of them went back and forth, neither giving an inch, their chopsticks flying and clattering in the air, making a series of crisp sounds.
At this tense and exciting moment, Enel, who had been watching from the sidelines, suddenly sensed that something was wrong.
"This won't do, or I won't have anything to eat!"
Without hesitation, he rushed into the fray, joining Luo Tian and Yamato in vying for the food on the table.
For a moment, the entire restaurant was filled with laughter, shouts, and the clatter of cutlery, creating a lively atmosphere.
Dan, who had witnessed all of this from the sidelines, had completely lost the helpless expression that usually appeared on his face, and instead had a genuine smile on his face.
Since Luo Tian went into seclusion to cultivate, there hadn't been such a joyful and noisy scene on the ship for a long time.
Watching everyone laughing, joking, and bickering as before, Dan couldn't help but recall those wonderful times, and a deep sense of nostalgia welled up in her heart.
At this moment, Yan, who was standing next to Dan, noticed the change in his expression and asked curiously.
"Dan, what's wrong? Why are you suddenly laughing so happily?"
Dan gently pushed up his glasses and answered with a smile.
"It's nothing, it's just that I haven't seen a scene like this in a long time, so it's inevitable that I feel a little nostalgic."
After saying that, he continued to watch with great interest the fierce yet joyful battle for food among the three of them.
Several days later, after a long voyage, Luo Tian and his crew finally arrived at the territory of the Whitebeard Pirates in the first half of the Grand Line.
Luo Tian recalled the banquet he had held with Shanks not long ago, where Shanks had solemnly warned him to be wary of a man named Marshall D. Teach.
Shanks told Luo Tian that the scars on his face were caused by him, and that this person was very scheming and had a deep hidden agenda.
Although Shanks had personally boarded Whitebeard's ship to ask him to abandon the pursuit of Marshall D. Teach, Whitebeard scoffed at the idea.
Because people like Teach, who kill their comrades for personal gain, are exactly the kind of people Whitebeard hates the most.
However, Ace and Thatch were on good terms, so Ace had already embarked on a journey to find Marshall D. Teach. Although Whitebeard knew Ace’s strength, he couldn’t help but worry that Ace might meet with misfortune.
For this reason, Whitebeard chose to station most of his forces in the first half of the Grand Line, partly to protect this important territory, and partly to be able to provide timely support to Ace if he might be in danger.
As Luo Tian and his crew approached the shore, Luo Tian stopped and turned to face his crew members who were following him.
Luo Tian raised his hand slightly, signaling everyone to stay on the ship and wait.
Anna, Angie, and Keira looked worried as they spoke in unison to Luo Tian.
Be careful!
Robin, standing to the side, also looked at Luo Tian with a worried gaze, but she didn't say anything. She just stood there quietly, as if all her concern was contained in her affectionate gaze.
At this moment, Yamato walked up to Luo Tian with his arms crossed and teased him with a smile.
"If you can't beat them, don't forget to call my name for help!"
Enel quickly echoed Yamato's words.
"Captain, go forth and fight with confidence. If you are in danger, I will surely come to your rescue!"
However, Luo Tian rolled his eyes at their kindness and responded irritably.
"Shut up, you two! Do I need your help? Just keep an eye on the ship!"
After saying that, he resolutely disembarked and strode towards the unknown island.
Dan and Yan stood still, their eyes fixed on Luo Tian's receding figure until it completely disappeared from sight. Only then did they turn away and slowly walk towards Eagle Eye.
After walking up to Hawkeye, Dan spoke first.
"Hawkeye, have you ever fought against the legendary Whitebeard?"
Yan then echoed this sentiment.
"Yes, can you tell us just how strong Whitebeard really is?"
Hawkeye narrowed his eyes slightly, staring intently in the direction Luo Tian had left. After a moment of silence, he slowly turned to look at the two of them and answered calmly.
"Whitebeard... he was indeed very powerful."
As he spoke, Hawkeye seemed lost in his memories and continued.
"He wields the Murakumogiri, one of the twelve Supreme Grade Swords, and his Paramecia-type Tremor-Tremor Fruit ability further enhances his power. If he didn't lack ambition and only wanted to protect his family, his achievements would likely far exceed his current title of 'Four Emperors'."
Hawkeye paused, sighed slightly, and continued.
"Moreover, he is now old, but even so, his reputation still awes the entire sea. As for me, it has indeed been a long time since I fought him, so I dare not make any conclusions about his true strength. However..."
At this point, Hawkeye's eyes suddenly hardened.
"But I still believe Luo Tian will win."
After hearing what Hawkeye said, Dan and Yan exchanged a glance and then tacitly chose not to ask any further questions.
After all, to them, Luo Tian was not just the captain of the ship they were on, but also the core figure and spiritual leader of their team.
Therefore, at this moment, all they need to do is wholeheartedly believe in every choice he makes. Thus, even if they still have some doubts about the current situation, Dan and Yan still put those thoughts aside without hesitation.
