This stretch of sea was Sea City, their agreed-upon meeting point.
Squard could not make sense of it. Under normal circumstances, only the Whitebeard Pirates' affiliated Pirate Crews knew about it.
What he did not know was that Yuu's arrival in these waters had been purely accidental. After coming ashore, they had lost their bearings—or rather, the navigator aboard the Bonney Pirates' ship was not particularly skilled. In short, they had wandered about in a daze and accidentally entered the Whitebeard Pirates' affiliated Pirate Crews' rendezvous point. "None of that matters. What matters is, do you want me to save Ace?"
Yuu asked.
"Huh? What did you say?!"
Squard was somewhat angered. Yuu actually dared to say none of that mattered?
And then he asked whether they wanted to rescue Ace? Of course they did.
Otherwise, why would they take such enormous risks and go to so much trouble?
"If you really want to save Ace, then take me to see Whitebeard at once!"
Yuu said this with utter indifference.
But to Squard, it sounded rather ridiculous. He did not even know who Yuu was, yet the moment he arrived, he wanted to see their boss? Was Whitebeard really so easy to meet?
"Tell me first—who exactly are you?"
Squard persisted with this question. Mainly because Yuu's Conqueror's Haki from earlier had deeply shaken him. Although Squard very much wanted to attack this stranger,
he knew clearly that he was no match for Yuu. The Yuu before him was likely unimaginably powerful. Was it really that important?
"Who am I?" Yuu's gaze turned cold. He was beginning to lose patience with Squard. He merely wanted to see Whitebeard—did it have to be this troublesome?
"Squard, who is this kid?"
The captain of the neighboring ship sailed over.
