They attacked each other, trading blows as explosions boomed one after another.
After hours of letting loose, their desire to fight gradually subsided, and they slowly stopped.
The sea, which had been raging moments before, gradually calmed its fury with the passage of time.
Though the sea had returned to calm, the lingering heat of battle still filled the air, and the sea breeze seemed to carry echoes of the clash between the two powers.
When the two returned to the Moby Dick, most of those aboard still had not come to their senses.
"Hey, old man, have you got anything to eat? I'm hungry. I'll trade you gold for it."
Naruto looked at Whitebeard and spoke casually.
He also reached in and pulled out a storage scroll.
With a bang, a large pile of gold bars spilled out.
This was the wealth he had built up by tagging along with Tsunade.
Though he could not gamble-in fact, he knew nothing about it-he knew one thing: bet against Tsunade, and he could buy a mansion by the sea!
The money had practically blown in on the wind, so naturally, he spent it as though the wind were blowing it away, without the slightest regret.
For this trip to another world, he had even specifically exchanged it for gold at Minato's reminder.
After all, in terms of where they could be used, the Shinobi World's banknotes were no match for gold.
"Gurararara! Kid, forget the gold. We're all fine men of the sea. It's just a meal-I'll cover it. Boys, get things ready! We're having a feast!"
Whitebeard laughed heartily as he spoke, his laughter making the entire deck tremble slightly.
"Yeah, you got it, Pops!!!" × N.
The pirates answered in unison, then got busy preparing food and fine liquor.
