Super Card System

Chapter 722: Encounter at Sea



Of course, Ian couldn’t possibly carry Bonney and fly. Who knows what might happen with all that hugging and holding? How would he explain it when he sees Ace?

“Alright, I treat you like a brother, and you actually want to hook up with my cousin!?”

Then how should Ian respond? Say, “Believe it or not, it was your “sister’s” chest that made the first move!”?

So it’s better to let her ride with Marco. Besides, riding on a Phoenix—how many people in this world get that kind of experience?

In fact, Whitebeard didn’t really want to keep Bonney on the ship either. This girl’s appetite was simply enormous. In just a few days, she had nearly eaten half of the food reserves on the Moby Dick. Pirates are already big eaters, but she ate even more than pirates; they simply couldn’t afford to feed her! So when Ian skillfully shifted the responsibility onto Marco, the matter was settled.

Taking out Ace’s Vivre Card and watching it move little by little, confirming the direction, Ian spread his Flame Wings and shot up into the sky.

Marco followed closely behind, his arms transforming into Phoenix wings. But before he could take off, Bonney suddenly jumped onto his back from behind. She wrapped her legs around Marco’s waist and locked her arms tightly around his neck, excitedly shouting, “Come on, fly!”

Marco was almost choked by Bonney, his tongue nearly sticking out. With a head full of black lines, he said sullenly, “Hold on tight!”

Then, with a sweep of his arms, he soared into the sky.

“Yahoo!!!” As they took off, Bonney locked her left arm around Marco’s neck, pressed her right hand on the hat on her head to keep the strong wind from blowing it away, and cheered excitedly.

After flying into the sky, Marco intended to catch up with Ian, but suddenly felt something was off. What were those two soft things pressing against the back of his head!?

Distracted, Marco nearly fell out of the sky, wobbling and flipping several times before finally stabilizing his flight. During this process, Bonney, to prevent herself from being thrown off, could only hold onto Marco even tighter.

At this moment, Bonney whispered into his ear, “Brother Marco, I didn’t expect you to be so naughty, using this method to take advantage of me.”

As she spoke, Bonney tightened her hold on the back of Marco’s head, pressing it against her chest, and said, “If you wanted some benefits, you could’ve just asked. It’s not like I wouldn’t give them to you. Using this method is so low!”

I…

Marco was on the verge of tears. How was this intentional? Clearly, you’re the one messing around! You almost made me fall into the sea!

And the worst part is, she’s your brother’s cousin, so you can’t hit her or scold her. At this moment, Marco finally understood why Ian didn’t want to carry Bonney while flying; this was simply torture!

So when Marco caught up with Ian, who had deliberately slowed down ahead to wait for him, his expression was full of resentment…

Watching the two fly away, Jozu stood beside Whitebeard, looking up at the sky, and said, “Pops, do you think they’ll be alright?”

“Of course they’ll be fine!” Whitebeard drank the last mouthful of wine from the jug Ian had given him (T/N: hasn’t he finished it already??), then tossed the jug aside. Grabbing his naginata, he used it to prop himself up and stood on the deck. His towering figure cast a shadow as he shouted, “Sons, prepare to set sail!”

Everyone understood what Whitebeard meant. Although they couldn’t intervene in the affairs of Wano Country, if the Whitebeard Pirates didn’t make any response to Ace being captured, where would the face of a Yonko crew be?

And the root cause of this matter lies with the Beasts Pirates, so Pops planned to make a move against them.

First, attack a dozen or so of the Beasts Pirates’ territories!

As for whether this would provoke a war between the Yonko, Pops didn’t care anymore; he needed to vent his anger first!

Hearing Whitebeard’s words, the crew on the Moby Dick let out thunderous cheers and immediately sprang into action…

In the sky, Ian and Marco, one with black flame wings and the other with blue, were strikingly conspicuous.

As Ian had said, Marco’s blue flames were inherent to his Devil Fruit ability and quite marvelous. They looked like they were burning fiercely but had a restrained temperature. While Bonney was clinging to Marco’s back, even though there was a sea of flames on both sides, she didn’t feel any heat.

In contrast, Ian was different. Even from a certain distance, Bonney and Marco could feel the terrifying heat waves.

He didn’t deliberately control the temperature of his Flame Wings because the fiercer the wings burned, the faster his flying speed.

Although Marco was carrying Bonney, as he had said before, his flying speed was not slow. However… the restless Bonney was now touching the sparse beard under his chin…

“Hey, Ian, can we talk? How about we take turns carrying her?” Marco said helplessly.

However, Ian shook his head and refused, “No way!”

Do you have to answer so decisively!? How can you be so unreliable as a brother!? Can’t we be good family members!?

Marco was speechless…

Bonney, on his back, heard this and was immediately unhappy, saying, “Hey, carrying a young and beautiful girl like me, and you’re not willing?”

“Young and beautiful girl? Who knows how old you really are? You won’t even say!” Marco snorted.

As a result, this remark directly led to Bonney’s “bear hug” attack…

Come to think of it, if it were only Ian and Marco, they might have just silently hurried on their journey. Now, with Bonney added, the journey was indeed much livelier and didn’t feel dull.

Because he had to accommodate Marco’s speed, Ian didn’t use supersonic flight. After flying for about two hours, Ian saw an island on the sea below, so he called Marco to land and rest.

Although flying seems grand, in fact, neither Ian nor Marco could maintain it for too long. Ian’s flying consumed Nen, and likewise, Marco’s flying consumed stamina since he was using his Devil Fruit ability.

Before they left, the Whitebeard Pirates had prepared a large bag of supplies for them, all food and water, which Ian was carrying. When they landed on the island to rest, they took out some of the food to eat.

When Bonney saw so much food, she couldn’t control herself again and desperately stuffed it into her mouth, her cheeks bulging.

Ian and Marco watched in astonishment as that large bag of food was half eaten by Bonney in a short time; their feelings were indescribable.

When he used to eat with Ace, Ian already felt that Ace had a big appetite, eating dozens of plates in one meal as if it were nothing. But now, seeing Bonney, Ian felt that Ace was simply weak!

“Hey… save some for us!” Ian and Marco looked at Bonney with heartache and said, “There’s our share in there!”

This was originally food expected to last two days. If Bonney continued like this, it might be gone in one meal. Would they have to find an inhabited island to replenish then?

“Don’t worry, I’ll leave some for you!” Bonney didn’t care and continued to gorge herself.

However, at that moment, a loud “boom” suddenly sounded, scaring Bonney so much that she choked. It was probably when the loud noise came that she was just about to swallow her food.

Seeing her face turning red and her neck bulging, desperately patting her chest, Ian quickly handed her a jug of water, afraid she might choke to death!

During this process, the booming sounds continued one after another.

After Bonney finally swallowed her food with the help of water, she breathed a sigh of relief, but then angrily stood up, moved to a higher place, and looked towards the sea. She wanted to see which bastard had caused her to choke.

The three had already recognized that the loud noises just now were the sounds of cannon fire.

Sure enough, in the southeast direction of the island, a large number of pirate ships appeared on the sea!

There were no fewer than thirty of these pirate ships. Although they were a bit far away and not very clear, it could vaguely be seen that these pirate ships varied in size and style, probably not just from one pirate crew.

Ian and the others didn’t have a telescope and couldn’t tell how many pirate crews were among these ships. However, they could see that these pirate ships seemed to be dealing with a common target.

A ship… flying the flag of the Big Mom Pirates…
