One Piece: Three Fruits, Starting with the Dark-Dark Fruit

"Nani!? You mean the Pirate King? You!?"

Marco looked incredulous, as if Shanks shouldn't have such a thought.

One of the reasons may be that Shanks is too low-key compared to the other four emperors.

Shanks smiled.

"Marco, if you want to come and join me, I welcome you. If it's something else, just go back where you came from. Otherwise..."

At this point, a red light flashed in Shanks' eyes, and the dragon-shaped domineering color was faintly visible around him. Marco's face changed, he gritted his teeth, and instantly entered the beast form, carrying several of his subordinates who were still in a fainted state on his back, and flew back to his own land.

Marco, who returned to the ship, shouted anxiously,

"Come on!"

Upon hearing this, the people on the boat hurriedly went to maneuver the boat to turn around and return.

Shanks stood at the bow of the Red Force, looking at Marco and his crew who were sailing away quickly, and said softly,

"Did you notice...?"

Beckman slowly came behind Shanks and said in a deep voice,

"Shanks, you just wanted to keep Marco, right?"

Shanks smiled noncommittally and said,

"His fruit is very good. I think big brother will like it."

Beckman glanced at Shanks and said,

"That would be against the rules."

Shanks spread his hands and said,

"So I let him go. He should be thankful that Big Brother wasn't here."

Beckman took a puff of his cigarette and spoke slowly,

"You'd better not mention your elder brother. After all, Jesus Bu's son died at his hands."

Shanks sighed. This matter really gave him a headache. Jesus Bu was still recuperating in the cabin, but even during this period he kept shouting that he wanted to kill Zigg. Whenever this happened, the other crew members looked at each other and no one responded. Shanks simply pretended not to hear it.

In Shanks' opinion, it is simply impossible for Jesus Bu to kill Zigg with his strength, so just let him vent verbally.

......

When Marco returned to the Whitebeard Pirates' territory, his tense nerves finally relaxed.

He was extremely sure that if he dared to stay a little longer on the Red Force, he would probably be "gently" left behind by Shanks.

Now he just wanted to get back to the Moby Dick as soon as possible and tell Whitebeard about his experience.

However, when he finally saw the Moby Dick, he was stunned for a moment because there was a strange ship parked next to the Moby Dick.

Who dared to pull up next to the Moby Dick?

Without waiting for the ship to approach, Marco turned into a phoenix and flew out.

After landing on the deck of the Moby Dick, Marco found that in addition to the members of the Whitebeard Pirates, there were many unfamiliar faces around. These people were all wearing cloaks that looked tattered.

And in the center of the deck, a man with long wild black hair was sitting in front of Whitebeard.

Noticing Marco, Whitebeard looked over and said,

"Marco, you're back."

Marco nodded, then walked over to Whitebeard and finally saw the man's face clearly.

He suddenly widened his eyes and exclaimed,

"Monkey D. Dragon!?"

Long looked at Marco and said,

"Captain of the First Division Marco, nice to meet you."

Before Marco could respond, Whitebeard asked,

"Marco, what's the result? What's the attitude of the red-haired guy?"

Marco glanced at the dragon, then looked up at Whitebeard. Whitebeard waved his hand and pointed at the dragon in front of him.

"It's okay. He's here for the same reason as you are looking for the red-haired guy. Tell me."

A look of surprise appeared on Long's face when he heard this. Whitebeard naturally would not tell him about this matter on his own initiative, and he just found out about it.

When Marco thought about this experience, he opened his mouth and his expression was extremely ugly.

Seeing this, Whitebeard frowned and said in a deep voice,

"What's wrong Marco? The redhead refused?"

Marco nodded slowly, and Whitebeard's face immediately darkened, with veins bulging on his forehead.

In his opinion, he was giving Shanks enough face by being able to lower himself to take the initiative to seek an alliance with his "junior", but he didn't expect Shanks to be so ungrateful.

And now there are outsiders here, this slap in the face is really too loud!

He laughed in anger.

"Kulala... Great, great! The kid on Roger's ship has really come a long way! Does he think he can fight against the current navy, or does he look down on an old guy like me?"

Seeing this, Marco was afraid that Whitebeard would lose his mind and go to fight the Red Hair Pirates, so he hurriedly said,

"Dad, Redhead ate a devil fruit!"

"Nani?"

This incident successfully attracted the rage of Whitebeard, and even Long was surprised and said,

"Red Hair actually chose to become a fruit ability user? Marco, do you know what fruit he ate?"

Marco took a deep breath and spoke slowly,

"Blue Dragon Fruit! Although the color is different after the transformation, I am sure that it is Kaido's fruit!"

As soon as these words came out, the entire deck was filled with exclamations. Teach jumped out and shouted,

"Marco, are you sure this is true?!"

Marco nodded vigorously and said in a deep voice,

“I saw this with my own eyes!”

After hearing this, Long hesitated for a moment and said,

"The Blue Dragon Fruit... Unbelievable! It hasn't been long since Kaido died, but Red Hair has already obtained this fruit. This fruit is simply a great help to someone like him!"

Whitebeard calmed down a lot at this time. He sneered and said,

"I see. No wonder he refused. But he didn't really think he could defeat that Tianlong with just a devil fruit, did he?"

Marco still didn't dare to tell others that Red Hair wanted to be the Pirate King and was suspected of attacking him, as that would be like adding fuel to the fire.

However, although the alliance with Red Hair was rejected, fortunately there is still the Revolutionary Army.

To be honest, Marco never expected that the Revolutionary Army would come to him on their own initiative. This force that had been staying in the dark suddenly appeared.

You must know that the Revolutionary Army led by Dragon is no less powerful than any of the Four Emperors, or even stronger.

If their Whitebeard Pirates could really join forces with the Revolutionary Army, it would definitely be a good thing.

And Marco remembered that the atmosphere on the boat was pretty good when he got on board just now, which meant that his father also had this intention.

However, what he didn't expect was that Long suddenly spoke,

"In that case, the red-haired man is a force that cannot be ignored. We should try our best to win him over!"

Whitebeard glared, and Long continued,

"Don't be angry yet, Newgate. I think there is still a lot of hope. Something as important as an alliance should be discussed face to face by the leaders of both sides, but you only sent the captain of the first team, Marco. Put yourself in their shoes. This is obviously a bit disrespectful to the other party."

Marco was stunned when he heard this. He felt that what Long said seemed to make sense, because Shanks did say something similar at that time.
