Grand Line Tegushi

Carl and Momousagi leave Marine Base and continue their journey.

On this day, they came to a small island called "Blue Sky Island", which has beautiful beaches and rich food.

They spent several days happily on the island and made many new friends.

In a bar on Blue Sky Island, Carl met a young man named Marco by chance.

Marco is "Zero Four Zero", a tall, blond man with a unique scar on his face, giving him a heroic aura.

They drank and chatted, exchanging each other's stories.

Marko heard about Carl and Momousagi's deeds in defeating the Red Flag Pirates and paid tribute to them.

Marco:

"Carl, I admire your courage and justice. In fact, I am also a pirate, but we are not villains, but people who pursue freedom and dreams. I am a member of the Whitebeard Pirates, have you heard of it? "

Carl frowned: "I've heard of the Whitebeard Pirates, a very powerful pirate organization. But Momousagi and I don't want to join any pirates, we want to live freely."

Marco:

"I understand your concerns, but I think you may have misunderstood us. The goal of the Whitebeard Pirates is to find the legendary OnePiece and achieve true freedom. I believe that your and Momousagi's ideals do not have much conflict with ours .If you are willing to join us, I am sure we will be good partners."

Carl hesitated, but still shook his head:

"As tempting as you are to say it, we have to say no. We want to be able to pursue justice and peace on our own terms.

Marko's eyes became serious: "Carl, are you sure you don't want to think about it? I don't want us to have a bad fight over this issue."

Carl looked at Marko and said seriously: "Marco, I respect your point of view very much, but my decision has already been made. We don't want to join any organization, we just want to live freely. Please understand our choice."

Marco looked at Carl, was silent for a while, then nodded: "Okay, Carl. I respect your choice...but I still want to compete with you to see how strong you are."

Carl listened and smiled: "Since you said so, then I accept your challenge."

Momousagi stood aside, looking at Carl with concern.

She knows that Marco is a very strong opponent, but she also believes in Carl's strength.

Carl and Marco came to an open space on the island and started a fierce battle.

Marko swung a huge tomahawk and slashed at Carl.

Carl dodges nimbly and counterattacks with his sword at the same time.

The two of you come and go, and the fierce battle continues.

The surrounding islanders were attracted by their battle and gathered to watch.

Momousagi3.9 watched Carl nervously, cheering him on.

Carl: "Marco, you are really strong, I admit it. But this does not change our decision not to join the Whitebeard Pirates."

Marco sneered:

"Carl, you don't know what you're denying. The strength of our Whitebeard Pirates is enough to make all your dreams come true."
