Chapter 276: The Tremor-Tremor and Float-Float Fruits
The excitement in the island camp gradually subsided. The banquet was over, and Reiner and the others returned to the Merry.
The subordinates of the Whitebeard Pirates also got busy, preparing to leave after they had rested and reorganized.
At the coast.
Ace jumped onto the Merry and squatted on the ship's side railing. Below, Marco slowly walked up.
"Hey Luffy, where are you guys heading next? The Log Pose's magnetic field should be fully stored by now," Ace said to Luffy on the deck.
They were ready to set off. He didn't know when they would meet again, so he came over to say one last goodbye.
Seeing the newcomers, Luffy waved happily. "Oh, Ace! And Mr. Pineapple-head!"
"Call me Marco!"
"It's fine, hahaha, I don't mind!" Luffy yawned and ran excitedly into the cabin. "Nami! Is the Log Pose ready? We're setting off!"
"Sigh~~," Marco's eyelids were heavy, his face full of helplessness.
Inside the aquarium, Reiner and the others were all there, sitting around the sofa against the wall.
"So impatient, here,"
Nami glanced at the Log Pose on her wrist and held it out to Luffy with a look of disgust. "The log is set. You pick a direction."
To her relief, all three needles were very stable this time.
This meant that their next destination would be a 'normal island' with a stable magnetic field. It didn't matter which direction they went.
"Emmm, none of them look very fun."
Luffy frowned and rubbed his chin, staring at the Log Pose in deep thought.
Heh heh, otherwise I wouldn't have let you choose, Nami rolled her eyes internally.
After a long while, Luffy pointed at the needle and looked up with a serious expression. "Let it move a bit, Nami."
"Are you crazy!"
Thump!
Nami bared her teeth and chopped Luffy on the face with the side of her hand. "Even if it moves, the next island won't be affected at all, you idiot!"
"Alright," a vertical red mark appeared in the middle of Luffy's face. He then pointed at the middle needle and said:
"In that case, let's go here."
"Why did you choose this one?" Nami was puzzled.
"Because it's in the middle."
"..."
"It's fine. Go and play."
Nami waved her hand and sighed, then walked to a nearby shelf to get a nautical chart, preparing to look at the island in the direction the needle was pointing.
"Did you guys choose the middle route?"
Creak~~
The door opened, and Ace and Marco walked in with a smile.
"That's the same as us. That's the direction to Dressrosa."
As Ace spoke, he unceremoniously took a bottle of wine from the liquor cabinet and found a place to sit down.
"Dressrosa?"
Hearing this name, Reiner subconsciously spoke out, puzzled, "What are you guys going there for?"
Speaking of which, since Doflamingo's death, he didn't know if the Donquixote Family had disbanded. He hadn't heard any news about Dressrosa in the past two years.
He remembered that Doflamingo had a deep cooperation with Kaido.
Relying on the trade of artificial Devil Fruits to establish a connection, the Donquixote family's arms, Seastone, and other underground businesses were all closely related to Kaido.
"We were originally going to Fish-Man Island, but we didn't expect you to solve it first."
Ace said, taking a sip of wine. Marco sat down and took over the conversation. "Besides waiting for you guys, we also heard some vague rumors while we were here."
"It's said that an incredible Devil Fruit has appeared in Dressrosa. We're preparing to make a trip over."
"Oh? You've all eaten Devil Fruits, and you can't eat another one."
Reiner's interest was piqued. "What other Devil Fruit could make you make a special trip?"
At this point, the smiles on Ace's and Marco's faces gradually disappeared, and they became serious.
Could it be...
Seeing their expressions, Reiner had a faint guess in his heart.
Ace subconsciously tightened his grip on the cup in his hand and said in a low voice, "It might be Pops's Gura Gura no Mi."
"The Gura Gura no Mi!!!"
A chorus of gasps erupted in the aquarium bar. Everyone gathered around, and even Reiner's expression couldn't help but become serious at first.
Franky and Usopp were so shocked they blurted out.
"Are you serious, Ace!"
"Is Whitebeard's power going to reappear in the world?"
The Gura Gura no Mi. As the power controlled by the legendary pirate Whitebeard, who had been famous on the seas for decades, anyone who heard of it would be surprised.
During the Summit War, due to a chain reaction caused by Reiner, the Gura Gura no Mi had not fallen into Blackbeard's hands.
But he had never expected to suddenly hear the name of this fruit after two years.
"No, strictly speaking, it's not certain yet."
Marco waved his hand. After the group quieted down, he continued:
"The news is not public. Even in the underworld channels, few people know."
"The rumor should be that the Devil Fruit of a legendary pirate who was on par with Roger back then has reappeared."
"Besides Pops's Gura Gura no Mi, it could also be the long-lost Fuwa Fuwa no Mi of Golden Lion Shiki."
Marco poured himself a glass of wine. It was clear that he and Ace were not in a good mood.
Reiner saw their thoughts. No matter which one it was, and even regardless of whether the news was true or false, the various powers in the New World would definitely make a move. After all, it was these two fruits.
And the Gura Gura no Mi was the one Whitebeard had eaten in his lifetime, the power he had used to dominate the seas for decades. Basically, whenever anyone mentioned it, they would think of the man with the white, crescent-shaped mustache and a grin.
Ace and the others definitely didn't want this fruit to fall into someone else's hands.
"In any case, regardless of the accuracy of the news, we have to go and see."
Ace's eyes showed gravity. "It's said that Blackbeard has also been plundering Devil Fruits everywhere these past two years and has been asking about the whereabouts of the Gura Gura no Mi. I'm afraid they will also make a move this time."
"I'm afraid it's not just that. If it could be the Fuwa Fuwa no Mi, the Marines' actions will probably be even bigger," Reiner reminded him.
The Fuwa Fuwa no Mi was definitely an ability of great strategic significance. It was impossible for the Marines not to have received the news that the pirates had.
He didn't know what the situation in Dressrosa was like now.
After Doflamingo was gone, he had thought the Donquixote Family would be wiped out. After all, Law was no pushover.
Did he not go for revenge against the Donquixote Family? Or did something else happen?
Reiner thought for a moment. When he was on the small sky island of Weatheria, he had only heard that Law had become a Warlord. Nothing related to Dressrosa had happened.
"Hee hee hee, it seems something exciting is about to happen."
"If the news is true, the various powers will definitely start fighting then."
"Tsk tsk tsk, although I'm not interested in Devil Fruits, it should be very interesting then."
Luffy, Zoro, and the others rubbed their hands together.
"No, wait a minute. We haven't even set off yet. There's still time to change our course."
Nami hurriedly said to Luffy, "Didn't Reiner say the Marines might have a big operation? Since we all know, we should definitely go around. Why do we still have to go over there?"
"Hee hee hee."
Luffy didn't speak, just giggled foolishly.
