Chapter 228: Chapter 228: Blackbeard Pirates, Volunteering!

And if those two, father and son, teamed up, it would be quite a headache for him.

While Sengoku was troubled, a strange voice suddenly cut through the air.

"I can’t believe such a small matter is causing you so much distress. Please, allow me to ease your worries."

Hearing this, even Doflamingo’s expression turned serious.

Because before his eyes, a fair-skinned young man wearing a magic hat suddenly appeared.

After saying this, the fair-skinned young man took off his hat directly and placed it over his heart.

He bowed to Sengoku, and then put his hat back on.

"It might be a bit rude, but please allow me to introduce myself."

"My name is Laffitte, and I’m an actor. To be precise, a stage actor."

"And I have come to recommend our captain, Marshall D. Teach. I believe he would be the perfect choice for the Shichibukai."

Hearing this, Sengoku hadn’t even reacted, when Doflamingo’s hand, which was manipulating strings, had already tightened.

Because before this person appeared, he hadn’t sensed the slightest disturbance.

Even though he was closest, with his strength, he couldn’t even figure out how this guy had arrived.

Hearing the name Marshall D. Teach, Sengoku’s nerves suddenly tensed up.

Because just moments ago, the Five Elders had already told him that a man named Marshall D. Teach would offer him an opportunity to get rid of Whitebeard.

And according to his intelligence, he had already learned that there was a traitor among the Whitebeard Pirates.

And the name of that traitor was Marshall.

Thinking of this, Sengoku’s eyes showed a look of deep thought.

It was as if everything was unfolding according to the Five Elders’ plan.

...

Over on the Straw Hat crew’s side, sailing along with over a hundred tons of gold.

Luffy, as usual, was singing and dancing with Usopp and Chopper in his arms, as if he would never get tired.

Zoro, on the other hand, was leaning against the railing and sleeping all day, as if he could never wake up.

Nami, however, was constantly guarding the large cloth bag containing the gold, refusing to leave its side for even a moment.

It was as if if she moved an inch away, it would be snatched by some villain.

Meanwhile, Raynor was enjoying a nutritious meal carefully prepared by Sanji.

It had to be said, Sanji truly was a top chef; he knew exactly what was good for recovery.

After eating a few nutritious meals, Raynor felt his injuries had already improved a lot.

As Raynor was enjoying his lunch, Luffy suddenly shouted from nearby:

"Hey, you guys, look quickly! Is that an island ahead?"

Hearing this, Usopp immediately grabbed his binoculars and looked ahead, then said excitedly:

"It really is an island! We can finally go ashore and play!"

After their trip to the Sky Island, their food supplies were practically depleted.

Because they had left in such a hurry, they had forgotten to bring any food down from the Sky Island, only taking this over a hundred tons of gold.

If they didn’t find food soon, they would run out of supplies in less than two days.

Thinking this, Luffy clenched his fists and roared at the sky.

"Alright, my crew! We’ll stop at that island ahead! Let’s go!"

Hearing this, Sanji immediately went to lower the sails, because at such a close distance, if he lowered them too late, the ship might run aground.

After all, they were carrying over a hundred tons of gold on board, and there were four wind dials installed at the back.

This power was difficult to control.

Soon, they were approaching the shore.

Raynor immediately turned off the four wind dials, while Zoro threw out the anchor.

As they neared the island, Luffy immediately jumped off, saying he wanted to go explore.

If Nami hadn’t stopped him in time, Luffy would probably have already rushed off.

"Hey, you guys, can you stop messing around? Can a few of you stay behind to guard the gold!"

Nami was saying this when all the crew members except her jumped off the ship.

Nami looked around at the desolate landscape and couldn’t help but shed a few tears.

At this moment, Robin said gently:

"There’s no way anyone would want to steal this gold from here."

"After all, each piece of this gold weighs one or two tons."

"And there are no large ships around. Even if they took it, they couldn’t carry it away, so don’t worry about the gold."

Hearing this, Nami finally sighed. She then packed some small pieces of gold and wore them.

Then she followed Luffy and the others ashore.

As they walked, Luffy swayed from side to side, but he couldn’t even find a fruit tree.

At this moment, Luffy’s stomach rumbled, and he immediately squatted on the ground, refusing to walk any further.

"I’m so hungry! Sanji, where’s the meat you promised me?"

Hearing this, Sanji smiled gently:

"We haven’t found a place to buy meat yet. Once we do, I’ll make you a full meat meal. For now, all the meat must be saved for Raynor’s recovery."

Upon hearing this, Luffy felt like crying but had no tears. At this moment, Usopp sneezed, causing his body to tremble.

Seeing this, Zoro yawned and used the flat of his sword to tap Usopp’s head:

"Hey, did you catch a cold? Don’t pass it on to me."

Hearing this, Usopp rubbed Zoro’s green curly hair with his hand:

"Hey, Zoro, that’s a bit hurtful, don’t you think!"

As he spoke, Usopp calmed down and then showed a puzzled expression.

"Do you guys feel that? There seems to be a chill in the air around here."

Hearing this, Zoro felt around and then shook his head.

"See, you really do have a cold."

Just as Zoro finished speaking, Nami also hugged her arms and said:

"No, Usopp is right. It’s definitely much colder here than on the ship."

"But looking at the sky, it doesn’t seem like the weather is about to change."

As Nami spoke, Robin suddenly showed a frightened expression.

Trembling, she pointed at a reef ahead and said:

"Look quickly, over there..."

Hearing this, everyone looked in the direction Robin was pointing and their expressions turned startled.

There, behind a tall rock, a tall man seemed to be standing.

Seeing this, Luffy’s face lit up with joy.

"Wow, that guy is so tall! Could he be a child from the Giant tribe?"

Hearing this, Usopp also became interested and quickly ran behind the rock with Luffy.

Then, they saw Aokiji, who was standing and sleeping.

At the first sight of Aokiji, Luffy frowned.

"Tch, what a letdown. I thought it was a child from the Giant tribe, but it’s just a tall uncle."

Hearing Luffy’s words, Usopp also showed a look of disdain.

"What a disappointment, Luffy. Let’s go."
