After Marco got the news that Giorno was auctioned in the Shampoo Islands, he flew all the way here from the New World...
So he didn't know much about what exactly happened here.
Originally, he was thinking that if Giorno was really bought at auction, it would actually be a good thing.
In this way, he could at least know the whereabouts of the kid clearly, and he could just go to the door and knock out the buyer, so as to get Giorno back - this would just happen to be a favor, which would facilitate the purpose of his trip.
But I didn't expect that the information I heard from the pirates turned out to be exactly the opposite.
Regarding the events that occurred at the auction on Island No. 1 a few days ago, there are many different versions circulated among the Shampoo Islands, but Marco sorted it out and could probably capture some commonalities.
1. Giorno and "Hades" Rayleigh were mixed together, and the slave collar had no effect on them.
Regarding this point, since Rayleigh is also involved, Marco can easily understand why Giorno can easily break free from the shackles of the slave collar at the auction. At Rayleigh's level, an explosive collar obviously cannot trap him.
.If Giorno could ask Rayleigh for help, it would be reasonable to get rid of the shackles of the collar...
2. Because the Celestial Dragons were involved, General Zefa from the Navy Headquarters came in person.
General Zefa... Marco thought that the majestic "black-armed" general of the time had retired long ago, but he didn't expect that he would show up again because of the trouble Giorno and the others caused in the Shampoo Islands.
3. The final result of the battle was that neither Giorno nor Rayleigh was caught, and General Zefa returned without success.
Since Zefa had already taken action...then it was probably Rayleigh who blocked him and saved Giorno.
This is good news for Marco. Since Giorno owes Rayleigh such a big favor, he is probably still by Rayleigh's side now.
As long as we find Rayleigh, we can probably find Giorno...
On Island No. 1, Marco adjusted his glasses, and a piece of light reflected on the lenses, reflecting the scene not far ahead.
…
The original site of the auction has been reduced to ruins, with many workers busy inside and outside.
In the center of the ruins is a huge hollow, with sea water pouring in, forming a turbulent whirlpool, telling the story of the destructive battle that took place here not long ago.
"'Black Wrist' and 'Pluto' are just legendary names..."
Marco's own father is a real legend comparable to Roger the Pirate King, so he naturally doesn't have much respect for those two people. What he cares about is the one who intervened in those two legends... he should be considered a newcomer.
?Giobana Giorno, if Marco remembers correctly, the other person is actually still very young.
No clues were found here and Marco left quickly.
I don’t know if he noticed or not, but around the ruins of the auction, there were a few navy soldiers specially stationed here to guard Giorno or Rayleigh. One of them caught a glimpse of the pineapple head that passed by... this image of a person.
Not common!
"Am I dazzled?" The sailor rubbed his eyes and said with an awkward smile, "How could the captain of the Whitebeard Pirates suddenly come here from the New World..."
In fact, Marco had no intention of hiding from others. He didn't even cover up the tattoo on his chest - a cross superimposed with a crescent moon pattern taken from the beard shape of the white-bearded father.
He has the ability of a special phantom beast fruit. On the one hand, he can fly and has the confidence to come and go freely. On the other hand, the phoenix fruit almost makes him immortal, and he is not here to cause destruction, so he has a clear conscience.
Next, naturally there was not much to say, and he just wandered freely among the islands of Shampoo, neither high-profile nor low-key, inquiring about the news about Pluto Rayleigh.
…
"He is indeed the legendary pirate. If he tried to hide his traces, he would be nowhere to be found... I can't find any traces of him at all in the Hakiki. Is it because he is too powerful, or is it because I am too unfamiliar with him?"
?”
Marco walked on the streets of Island 19, ignoring the increasing number of eyes that were wary of him, and scratched his pineapple hair.
"Why don't you just go to the naval base and ask?"
Just when the captain of the Sea Emperor's first team wanted to simply use the navy's intelligence channels, there was a sudden movement on the street corner in front. There was a "bang", the wall shattered, and three figures rolled out one after another.
The one in front was a woman from the long-legged tribe. She kicked the human man next to her and shouted to another strong fishman: "Run!"
The strong fishman man was injured, and he gritted his teeth and said: "If it weren't for the serious lack of water these days..."
"Stop talking nonsense, why are you making so many excuses? Then my legs are weak even after being hungry for so long!" The human man gasped and got up, "If you don't run away, you will look down on those three bounties."
The hunter captured him..."
The three of them hurried past, and when they passed Marco, they all glanced at the pineapple-headed man.
This person is so strong... The fish-man Labster, the human He-Man, and the long-legged Legg all had this thought flashing through their minds.
…
They ran from Island 19 to Island 20 in one breath, and when they were close to the edge of Island 21, the three of them dared to relax a little and took a deep breath.
"If you... like water so much... Huh..." Herman wiped his sweat, "Why don't you jump back into the sea, huh... Is there Fishman Island down here? Huh..."
Labost panted, held his knees and said in a deep voice: "If I leave, it will be easier for you two to be taken away..."
"Haha..." Legge, the long-legged tribe, leaned on the trunk of the mangrove tree with his long legs, and let out a long breath, "Although you are full of fishy smell, you are surprisingly warm-hearted... Haha...
…”
She was smiling, and a look of horror slowly appeared on her face as she leaned against the tree trunk.
On the tree trunk, a man whose body outline was surrounded by blue flames, the pineapple head whom he met on the road before, waved to her with a smile, "Hello."
"What?!"
Both Herman and Labster were startled. They looked up suddenly, but there was no one on the tree trunk. Instead, beside them, there was a figure surrounded by blue flames standing at some point.
What a fast speed! Legge, the long-legged clan member, was shocked.
Marco patted the flames on his shoulders and pointed to his neck, "You have the mark of wearing a collar on your neck... If I guessed correctly, you came from the auction on Island No. 1 while taking advantage of the opportunity.
Did you escape from the previous chaos?"
The expressions of the three people changed.
Marco waved his hand, "Don't worry, I am a pirate, so I am not on the side of the World Government. I am not interested in your previous slave experience. What I want to know is... there will be an auction a few days ago
What happened in the battle of destruction? Pluto Rayleigh, Kujo Xuren, and Giovanna Giorno, do you know where any of them are?"
Lege sneered and said: "Don't bother, we won't say anything."
Kujo Xu Lun was the benefactor who rescued them from slavery! Even if Kujo Xu Lun herself had no intention of benevolence, she would not be despicable enough to betray her benefactor.
"I know you." The fish-man Labuster stared at Pineapple Head with bright eyes, "You are the subordinate of the legendary 'Whitebeard', right?"
Whitebeard?! The two friends looked at the fish-man in shock.
"I want to believe in the benevolence of 'Whitebeard'!" the fish-man Labost said solemnly, "I can tell you everything we know... but you have to help us deal with the bounty hunters who are chasing us here...
…”
"Hunter?" Marco suddenly raised his eyes and looked where he came from. Three bounty hunters who looked like triplets followed them, still sneering: "Three bereaved dogs... think they are 'Skull Crusher' or '
Ghost Beard'?" "Do you think you are Giovanna Giorno or Kujo Xuren? Hahaha..." "Huh? Big brother, second brother, who is this pineapple head?" Stephen, who was still wearing a bandage.
Evans said doubtfully to his two brothers who were also bandaged.
Marco smiled, "It seems that Giorno guy has caused a lot of trouble. It will be easier to deal with now..."
…
The battle at the auction turned out to be Zefa faced by Giorno alone?
After Marco got this news from the three people who were originally slaves of the Draco, he would definitely be lying if he said he was not surprised.
