Whitebeard Jr., Edward Weevil

Several more days passed.

The Justice League ship carrying Roya and the others had drawn very close to the coordinates indicated by the Eternal Pose.

At this moment,

an island had appeared before them.

However!

Dozens of thick columns of black smoke were rising from the island.

Clearly,

a battle was taking place there.

"Boss Roya!"

"Look!"

"That's the island we're heading for!"

"It looks like... there's a battle going on over there!"

Jinbe shouted in alarm.

"Mm."

"They should be fighting."

"Accelerate!"

Roya noticed the smoke ahead as well and nodded.

"Boss Roya!"

"Do you think Blackbeard Teach and his crew might be attacking Marco and the others right now?"

Jinbe asked.

"That's not impossible!"

"But if it really is Blackbeard Teach, that'll save us quite a bit of trouble."

Roya smiled confidently.

That was true enough.

If Blackbeard Teach and his crew really were attacking Marco and the others, it would save Roya a great deal of trouble.

After all, that meant they would no longer need to travel all over the place searching for Blackbeard Teach and his crew.

Wouldn't it be enough to kill Blackbeard Teach right there and then? Why overthink it?

Of course,

there was another possibility.

The people fighting on the island might be neither Blackbeard Teach nor Marco and his group.

Still!

Since they were already here, they had to go take a look.

If they encountered any utterly vicious scoundrels, the Justice League would resolutely take action.

"Alright!"

"Boss Roya, I understand!"

"Quick, accelerate!"

Jinbe nodded and began giving orders.

"It seems..."

"I can smell the presence of strong fighters!"

Issho, who had been sitting down, rose to his feet and faced the island. Though he could not see with his eyes, his other senses remained extremely sharp.

"Interesting."
