"Have you ever seen a pirate crew throw a banquet before a major battle?"
"That's the Chris Pirates for you!"
At that, Adams, Visluk, and the others exchanged glances.
None of them looked especially surprised, but they were clearly puzzled.
Their expressions said as much.
Marco, who was lying at the bow, suddenly burst out laughing. "Oh? Hahahahaha!"
"That's just like them!"
"Pops and the others said Chris was an unusual man. He doesn't play by the rules, and he often does things no one expects."
"Looks like Pops and the others were right!"
Marco turned to the people on the deck.
He smiled. "Don't let it surprise you. That's the kind of crew the Chris Pirates are."
"They dare to do things no one else has done."
"Chris is throwing his victory banquet early!"
Visluk frowned and said with a curl of his lip, "The war hasn't even started, and they're already celebrating."
"Haven't they heard that arrogance leads to defeat?"
Marco raised an eyebrow and smiled faintly. "That only applies to ordinary people."
"The Chris Pirates are already far stronger than the Pudora Kingdom."
"They have powerful crewmates, and they have the Seven Warlords Alliance!"
On the Whitebeard Pirates' ship, Millsa sat on the deck with the upper half of his body raised high.
He was listening as Marco explained the Chris Pirates.
Marco said casually, "Chris isn't the Chris Pirates' only strength. They have plenty of others."
"There's Enel, whom you've heard of before, with his Rumble-Rumble Fruit."
"And there's Trafalgar Luo, who has the Op-Op Fruit, along with Crow, Lindbergh, and the rest."
"Every one of them poses a serious threat to the Pudora Kingdom."
Marco sat up on the bow and continued, "And that's before you count the Seven Warlords Alliance coming to their aid."
