Pirate: Vice-Captain of the Whitebeard Pirates

"Why didn't the black shadow appear..."

Larson has been thinking about this issue since he landed.

When Marco went up to the sky for the first time, a black shadow appeared and knocked him down. Then he used the moon step to jump up again, but the black shadow did not appear.

After Marco went up to the sky again, the shadow appeared again. Rayleigh used Moon Step, but the result was the same as him, the shadow did not appear.

If the black shadow appears only when the ability to fly is used, then Larson just copied the ability of Marco's Phoenix Fruit. Logically speaking, it is the same.

But the black shadow still didn't appear. Why?Could it be that the black shadow is also divided into people, and if it weren't for Marco, he wouldn't hit him?

Seeing Larson's eyes lingering on him, Marco suddenly felt guilty: "Can you stop looking at me with that look? I'm scared."

"..."

Larson withdrew his gaze, thought for a moment, and said, "Did you feel anything when you flew up just now? I was talking about before the black shadow came out."

Marco shook his head honestly: "No, I didn't feel anything. I didn't see the barrier you mentioned. Just when I was about to rush out, a shadow suddenly appeared in front of me without any warning. , and hit me directly."

Larson thought for a moment: "How about you try again?"

Marco hesitated. He refused very decisively before, because every time the black shadow appeared and hit him, it would cause him great pain. Because the impact of the black shadow was very strong, Marco felt that it was stronger than the average Larson. It hurt to hit him with a fist.

But now he sees that the situation seems to be very bad, and he is willing to sacrifice himself to investigate the situation above him.

At this time, Larson said in his ear: "I will go up with you. If the black shadow appears again, I will protect you."

Marco no longer had any worries and nodded decisively: "Okay, leave it to me."

This time Larson planned to go to heaven with Marco in order to find out the identity of the black shadow.

It hasn't been 10 minutes since he used Marco's fruit power, so he can still use Marco's Phoenix Fruit power now.

Marco and Larson were wrapped in blue flames at the same time. Larson gave Marco a reassuring look: "Go up."

Marco took a deep breath, then silently flew up to the sky.

Larson followed him closely, making sure that if the black shadow appeared again, he could stop him immediately and prevent him from leaving.

On the ground, everyone's eyes were fixed on the two figures in the sky. As Larson and Marco continued to rise, their heads continued to rise.

Finally, we are reaching the area where the barrier appears.

When he was still three meters away from the barrier, Larson asked Marco to slow down because he was afraid that when the black shadow appeared and attacked Marco, he would be blocked by the barrier and unable to protect him.

Marco followed Larson's instructions and slowed down.

two meters...

The last meter...

Marco kept his heart in mind, because he was attacked by black shadows at this time twice before. He held his breath and kept going up.

Then he looked happy because the black shadow did not appear. This was the first time that he was not hit by the black shadow when he flew into the sky.

He suddenly cheered in excitement: "Hahaha, the shadow is gone!"

Boom!

Because of his excitement, Marco forgot to stop for a moment, causing his body to hit something as he continued to move upward.

Marco covered his head with a look of pain on his face: "What's blocking me?"

Larson on the side was thoughtful, this time the black shadow did not appear, but was it stopped by the barrier?

Because he had tried ordinary methods before and failed to break this invisible barrier, Larson took Marco down directly.

"How did it turn out this time?"

As soon as the two of them landed, Rayleigh and Whitebeard couldn't wait to respond.

Larson glanced at Marco: "It's different from the previous two times. There is no black shadow this time."

Whitebeard and the others were very calm about this result.

In fact, everyone can see very clearly on the ground. They ask this just because they are worried that there are some details that they cannot see on the ground.

"Why didn't the shadow appear this time?" Reilly asked with a frown.

Larson groped his chin, his eyes rolling over Shanks and Bucky not far away.

Shanks and Bucky looked at each other, and the former boldly walked over: "Is there anything we can do?"

"I do need your help with something."

Larson said with a gentle expression.

Shanks and Bucky were stunned. Not only them, but also Whitebeard, Roger and others did not understand Larson's purpose.

Larson said: "This time, just go up with Marco and take a look."

Before Shanks could say anything, Bucky agreed without hesitation: "Leave it to us."

Marco hesitated: "Are you coming again?"

"kindness."

Larson nodded: "This should be the last time, don't worry."

"Ok."

Shanks and Bucky stood next to Marco. He each grabbed one hand. Just when they were about to fly, Larson suddenly stopped them: "Wait a minute, red-nosed brat."

Bucky was immediately stunned: "Why, I want to go up too."

Before Larson could speak, Reilly said, "Bucky, come back."

Bucky came back with his head hanging.

It was obviously him who had agreed just now, but it was Shanks' fault that the position that originally belonged to him was taken away.

Of course, no one would care about his inner complaints.

Larson looked at Marco and Shanks: "We must have news."

"kindness."

After the black shadow did not appear in the sky just now, Marco became bolder.

He took Shanks' hand and flew into the sky. Under the gaze of everyone, they flew higher and higher.

Shanks was still a little nervous, and his hand holding Marco was a little sweaty.

Marco's speed also slowed down unconsciously. Although he didn't say anything just now, he became nervous when he reached this familiar position.

Unknowingly, they arrived at the spot where Larson had been stopped by the barrier.

Just when everyone thought they would be stopped by the barrier again, suddenly, a familiar black shadow appeared in front of them, which was at the same time that the black shadow appeared.

Several figures emerged from the ground so fast that only an afterimage could be seen.

'It's over! '

The moment he saw the black shadow appear, Marco knew something was wrong. He thought that he was about to experience another impact and had already closed his eyes.
