Kazu looked at Carlmand for a few seconds, but the other party showed no sign of wavering, so he had nothing to hesitate about.
Respecting a partner's choices is one of the qualities a captain should possess.
" Kazu, give me the Medicine-Medicine Fruit."
"My physical skills are too weak. Even with continuous training, I'm only good enough to defend myself. My physique is nowhere near as good as yours."
"With the Medicine-Medicine Fruit, I can conjure up all sorts of precious medicinal herbs for you."
"You'll have a layer of protection after the battle, and that's the only thing I could do."
Makino also looked at Kazu, her gaze serious, clearly having made up her mind.
She didn't want to remain a bystander, watching her comrades fight without being able to do anything.
Her strength is still too weak, which is an unavoidable fact. Forcing her way into the battlefield will only be a hindrance.
It would be better to take the Medicine-Medicine Fruit and use it as a first-aid kit on your back; at least that would be somewhat useful.
Kazu didn't expect that even Makino would be provoked; why is she starting to get all worked up?
He had originally planned to find a ship's doctor later and give the Medicine-Medicine Fruit to that person.
Now that Makino had spoken up, he thought about it again and realized it wasn't that different. In the future, the ship's doctor could just ask Makino for any medicine he needed.
"Since that's the case, then you two can have them."
Kazu handed the Chilly-Chilly Fruit and the Medicine-Medicine Fruit to Carlmand and Makino.
The two had made their decision and took a bite without hesitation.
With a vomiting sound, the two successfully became Devil Fruit User.
"So this is the Chilly-Chilly Fruit. It's indeed powerful."
Carlmand exuded a chilling aura, and in an instant, the surrounding temperature plummeted to tens of degrees below zero.
"You idiot, it's so cold, stop using your Devil Fruit powers first."
Seeing that Makino was shivering from the cold, Kazu slapped Carlmand on the back to calm him down.
The group boarded the Divine Dragon and headed northwest, intending to rest and recuperate at Broken Stone Island first.
Then Kazu took out the Den Den Mushi (snail Den Den Mushi) specifically for contacting the Moby Dick.
With everyone gathered around, and under the watchful eyes of his companions, Kazu made the call.
Blub Blub Blub, Blub Blub Blub~
On the other side, on the Moby Dick, the Den Den Mushi that originally belonged to Bagley suddenly rang, Marco quickly handed Den Den Mushi to his Pops.
That's right, Whitebeard had already given the order that this Den Den Mushi be placed separately so that if a call came in, it would be handed over to Whitebeard himself immediately, and he would answer the call personally.
But no matter how long they waited, the Den Den Mushi remained completely silent.
He suddenly called today, which made Whitebeard incredibly excited.
"Gulalalalala~"
"I am Edward Newgate, captain of the Whitebeard Pirates."
"So big..."
"Ahem, well, you're Her Kazi, aren't you?"
"It seems you've entered the waters of New World; are you here to challenge me?"
Whitebeard was used to muttering to himself, and almost blurted out "my eldest son."
I quickly changed the big boy into a good boy. Although it was a little weird, it was still coherent.
On the other side, Kazu didn't expect Whitebeard to be so talkative. Before he could even say a word when he called, Whitebeard had already rattled off a whole bunch of things in his own language.
"That's right, I am Her Kazi, the captain of the Blond Hair Pirates."
" Whitebeard, I will be waiting for you on Broken Stone Island. I will collect the debt you owe on behalf of Her Navia."
"You should have been prepared for defeat by now."
Whitebeard, instead of being angry at Kazu's words, burst into laughter.
"Gulalalalalala~"
"Kid, if you have the ability, then give it a try."
"I should be able to reach Crushed Stone Island in two days at most. They'll be waiting for me there."
Whitebeard was genuinely pleased; with such ambition in his eldest son, what more could he ask for?
The stronger Kazu is, the more it proves that he has a successor. When the Whitebeard Pirates are handed over to Kazu, he can rest assured.
Even if Kazu didn't want to take over the Whitebeard Pirates, he could have handed it over to Marco. Based on that relationship, the Blond Hair Pirates and the Whitebeard Pirates would definitely be the closest brotherly pirate crews.
Kazu was relieved to hear that Whitebeard would be arriving soon.
He was about to fulfill his mother's wish. With the power of space, the Iron Balloon, and the Three Types of Haki, he believed he was already among the top few in the pirate world.
Even among that small group of people, he was the fastest and the most unbeatable.
He was still very confident that he could defeat Whitebeard.
The old man was getting on in years and still had a lot of destructive power, but his movements were getting slower and slower, and he just happened to run into this super-fast sixth man.
Kazu didn't even know how he could have lost.
