Pirates go undercover from Advance City

It is now the year 1499 of the Hainan calendar, and Marco is 24 years old. In terms of age, he is 7 years younger than Paddy.

The last time the two met was 6 years ago, during the era of the three legendary pirates: Roger, Whitebeard, and Golden Lion.

That year, a big battle broke out between the Sky Pirates and the Roger Pirates in the waters of Edvor. The Sky Pirates, who originally had the upper hand, lost to the weather in the end.

After that time, the strength of the Sky Pirates was greatly reduced, and the golden lion also had a rudder on his head, so he would always make some inexplicable decisions because his brain was not clear.

It stands to reason that the Sky Pirates, who had just experienced a big battle and lost many troops, should be recuperating, but Shiji took his people there because his men had a conflict with a pirate group affiliated with the Whitebeard Pirates.

Confronted with Whitebeard.

That was the first time Paddy met Marco.

Marco was only 18 years old at the time and had just joined the Whitebeard Pirates not long ago, but he had already made a name for himself in the Whitebeard Pirates with his powerful fruit abilities.

In the battle between the two sides, Paddy's opponent was Marco. In the end, the two sides fought for three days and three nights before each retreated. At that time, Paddy and Marco were tied.

Marco was younger than Paddy at that time, and Paddy felt that with Marco's fruits and talents, he would most likely not be his opponent after a while.

In the following years, there were frequent conflicts between the Whitebeard Pirates and the Sky Pirates. Paddy also met Marco several times, and every time the two fought against each other, there was no winner.

It wasn't until 3 years ago that Paddy's fruit power unexpectedly awakened, and at the same time he mastered advanced armed color Haki under the guidance of the Golden Lion. That was the only time Paddy defeated Marco.

But Marco's fruit power is so abnormal that even if Paddy can defeat Marco, there is no way he can keep him.

This was the last time the two met.

Later, Roger became the Pirate King, disbanded the Roger Pirates, and surrendered to the Navy.

The Golden Lion couldn't accept this for a while, so he attacked the navy headquarters alone, and was eventually captured by Garp and Sengoku.

As the Sky Pirates do not have the protection of the Golden Lion, the Navy will naturally not let go of the remaining members of the Sky Pirates. Most of the members of the Sky Pirates were captured by the Navy and imprisoned in Impel Down City, including

Paddy.

During the more than half a year in Impel Down, Paddy suffered a lot, but she also met Mia. Under Mia's guidance, her domineering power of knowledge and knowledge became one step closer, and she touched the threshold of foreseeing the future.

.

On the other hand, Marco and Roger became the Pirate King and used their lives to usher in the Age of Pirates. The Golden Lion fought for Roger and attacked the Navy Headquarters, and was eventually imprisoned in Impel Down. Whitebeard was the only one left among the three legendary pirates.

Whitebeard became the uncrowned king of the sea.

The navy was tired of dealing with the pirates encouraged by Roger's One Piece to go to sea, and its control over the new world was not as good as before. The new generation of pirates was too weak, and no one could threaten Whitebeard's status.

At this time, if Whitebeard wanted to become the Pirate King, it would be easy.

But Whitebeard is not interested in these things, he just wants to stay with his family.

Influenced by Whitebeard's thoughts, Marco rarely leaves the Moby-Dick. Without the baptism of battle, the growth of strength will naturally be relatively slow.

So now there is some gap between Marco and Paddy.

In Paddy's view, if things continue like this, Marco, who was originally able to become the top level powerhouse, will probably be compromised.

In the past, although Paddy and Marco belonged to different camps, there was no deep hatred between them. On the contrary, Paddy admired Marco very much.

Marco has a calm personality, has always been loyal to Whitebeard, and is not afraid at all when facing the Golden Lion.

Paddy really couldn't get enough of people like this.

That's why Paddy gave a warning today, telling Marco not to be too lax.

Marco was not stupid and naturally understood the meaning of Paddy's words. He scratched his head and said: "I have really been slacking off recently. I won't lose to you next time we meet."

Paddy didn't say anything and silently returned to Mia.

"Paddy, are you friends with him?" Mia asked softly.

"I don't know if we are friends or not, at least we are not enemies." Paddy thought for a while and replied.

When Marco heard this, he said with some dissatisfaction: "Hey, Paddy, so you don't regard me as a friend? I have always regarded you as a friend."

"We are two pirate groups." Paddy emphasized.

"Didn't the Sky Pirates all disband? Besides, Shiji and his father stayed on the same ship, and they also regarded each other as good friends."

"The Sky Pirates have not been disbanded! Master Shiji is here, and the Sky Pirates are here." Paddy said in a serious tone.

"You still trust Shiji so much!" Marco sighed.

"Pirates also need to show loyalty." Ian said from the side.

"Haha! What you said is very similar to what Big Mom said. She always talks about words like "righteousness" and "loyalty". Marco said with a smile.

"Okay! Stop talking about these nonsense, Marco, are you here to see us?" Paddy asked.

"Yes, Shiki went to the Moby Dick and told his father that Wano was in trouble.

Wano Country is the hometown of Mitsuki Oden, the captain of our second division pirate team, and my father originally wanted to go directly there.

But Shiji said that he promised others that he would go to Wano Country in the future with the purpose of saving the country. Dad wanted to know who made this agreement with Shiki? What happened in Wano Country?

?

It's not easy for us to follow Shi Ji, so we can only do the next best thing and come to find you who escaped from Impel Down with him."

"Did you find the wrong person? How could we know about the decisions made by big people like Golden Lion?" Mia said.

"After Shiki escaped from Impel Down, he didn't come into contact with many people. It was reported in the newspaper that apart from Baloric Redfield, there were only four of you.

So if Shiji made an agreement with someone after escaping from prison, you will most likely know who that person is."

"What if it was before the jailbreak?" Michael asked.

"If it's before the prison escape, then the only option is to go to Baloric Redfield. He and Skiddoo are imprisoned in infinite hell. He should have some knowledge about this matter."

"I don't think you need to go to Baloric Redfield. I'm the one who made the agreement with Shiji." As soon as Marco finished speaking, a voice came from below.

The next second the owner of the voice came to the deck on moon steps.

After the full picture of Chapter 1044 was released today, many people were scolding me. Let me tell you my opinion. I don’t think it is too outrageous that Luffy’s fruit is the Nika form of the Human Fruit Fantasy Beast. After all, Oda came from Sky Island.

The foreshadowing begins. What I think is unreasonable is that Oda gave this fruit too many buffs. The sun god and Joey Boy were all because of this fruit, and Luffy ate it from the first episode.

This fruit has the feeling of negating Luffy's growth all the way, giving people the impression that Luffy is the chosen one (although this is also true), but I still can't accept this.
