Aboard the Moby Dick, which had already sailed far from Saipan Island, Marco walked up behind Whitebeard and asked him a question as he watched Barn, who remained on the island.
At Marco's question, Whitebeard frowned as he, too, looked at Barn on the island.

With an eerie laugh, Kazaan slowly faded into the darkness, then
