Pirates from island owner to king

Chapter 273 Opportunity (2 more)

Among the people present, only Wang Hai and Ananda were human beings, and it was impossible for Marco not to notice them.

"Hi, we finally meet."

Marco took the initiative to walk up to Ananda and say hello.

Neptune and the others were a little surprised by this, but Wang Hai was not.

This is not their first contact with the Whitebeard Pirates. Before that, Ananda's identity as a thunder fruit user was exposed.

It was directly put on the headlines of world news and recognized by many people.

This also made many people interested in Ananda.

Forces from all sides tried to recruit Ananda.

Among them, the Whitebeard Pirates are also included.

Edward Newgate, the white-bearded man, also wanted to accept Ananda as his son, and personally sent squad leader Diamond Jozi to Little Nine Snake Island to invite Ananda on board.

However, Ananda declined politely.

He was already a father, and Ananda obviously had no interest in recognizing another father.

Even if this person is recognized as the strongest Whitebeard in the sea.

Fortunately, Whitebeard is also a cheerful person, and he didn't get angry after being rejected.

Charlotte Lingling also sent people to try to recruit Ananda as her son-in-law. After being rejected, the people she sent also tried to take action against Ananda.

It just so happened that Diamond Jozi was also there, and he couldn't stand it and just hammered the guy.

It was Qiaozi's action that diverted the hatred. Otherwise, if Ananda took action, he might attract successive attacks from the Big Mom Pirates.

In any case, because of this relationship, although Ananda did not join the Whitebeard Pirates, Wang Hai had a good sense of the Whitebeard Pirates.

"Hello, Captain Marco." Ananda greeted.

"Call me Marco. After Joz returned, he said a lot of good things about you. Although you did not join our Whitebeard Pirates, you are already our friend."

Marco was obviously very interested in Ananda.

However, he also knew how to be a good person and did not overdo the work. He chatted with Ananda for a few words, and then brought the topic back to Neptune.

Everyone sat down and continued chatting while enjoying the banquet.

Wang Hai didn't stand up and say anything. When Marco appeared, he had already used his golden finger to identify Marco's information.

As a result, he felt a little pity.

Compared with the Roger Pirates back then, it seems that today's pirate groups of the three pirate emperors are much inferior in terms of numbers, but also in terms of high-end combat power.

The original Roger Pirates, and the Pirate King Roger himself, were undoubtedly the top class.

At this level, the number of people who have reached this level in the past few decades can be counted on one pair of hands.

Garp counts as one, and so does Whitebeard.

The aloof red Ryder and the golden lion Shiji are all alone.

In the future, whether it is Big Mom, Kaido, or Shanks, although they are also at the exceptional level, they may not reach the top.

But you can only know the specifics if you see it.

Wang Hai's current speculation is only based on the original plot in his memory, but the original plot he has seen is not much after the battle on the top.

Except for the aging Whitebeard, he didn't know much about the other three pirate emperors themselves or the specific strength of their pirate groups.

However, we can tell something from the Whitebeard Pirates.

Apart from himself, the Roger Pirates can be said to be basically strong.

Roger is surrounded by his right-hand man, Pluto Rayleigh on his right hand, and Jabba on his left hand.

The three are known as gold, silver and bronze.

Rayleigh and Jabba, if not at the exceptional level, are at least at the level of generals.

In addition, there is Kozuki Oden who Roger poached from the Whitebeard Pirates.

Although Wang Hai doesn't like this character very much, it is undeniable that this guy's strength is at least general level.

Otherwise, Kaido wouldn't have spent a lot of effort to solve it.

In addition, there is Douglas Barrett, who is at least a general-level fighter.

All in all, including Roger, these five people, except Jabba who didn't know much about them, all had overlord-like domineering.

There are at least four general-level combatants, one exceptional level, and at least four possess the color of Overlord, not counting Shanks who will become the Four Emperors in the future.

It can also be seen how powerful the Roger Pirates are.

In comparison, Marco, as the captain of the first team of the Whitebeard Pirates, is not counted as Blackbeard who hides his strength after Kozuki Oden left.

Marco's strength should be second only to Whitebeard.

However, in Wang Hai's golden finger appraisal, Marco's strength was actually only at the level of candidate general.

The force value of [94] points is the same as that of Jason the Megalodon, which is still a little short of the top candidate for general.

There are still more than ten years left before the battle at the top.

Wang Hai remembered that in the original plot, Marco performed well in the battle at the top, but his strength was definitely not that of a general.

You can tell just by being punched away by Garp.

In other words, according to normal development, Marco's strength will basically not increase in the next ten years.

That's why Wang Hai felt it was a pity.

Among the results identified by Golden Finger, Marco’s talent is not bad.

Just the ability of the Phoenix Fruit, the top phantom beast species, already gave him top physical talent.

In addition, Marco also has advanced physical skills talent, advanced weapon color and knowledge color talents, and advanced medical skills talent.

It can be said that Marco is more than just a qualified ship's doctor.

At the same time, he also has top potential talent as a general candidate.

Now, Marco seems to be reaching the limit of his potential.

However, if he can further develop the fruit ability to awakening, it may further improve other talents.

Although the awakening of fruit abilities requires talent and luck.

But Marco, or basically the members of the Whitebeard Pirates, are all under Whitebeard's wing.

It is difficult to experience the challenge of life and death crisis, and the difficulty of awakening the fruit increases accordingly.

According to the original plot development, Marco may have to wait until Whitebeard dies before he has a chance to awaken.

If Marco is his subordinate, he can use acceleration cards and breakthroughs to help Marco reach the bottleneck as soon as possible and break through the awakening.

Unfortunately, Marco was not, and the relationship between the two parties was not that good.

As for recruiting the Whitebeard Pirates under his command, he had almost never thought about such a thing.

At the banquet, after chatting for a while, Marco also knew what happened.

After learning that Ananda had taken action to help Fish-Man Island defeat the Megalodon Pirates, he became even more warm and friendly towards Ananda.

Wang Hai did not reveal his true identity and did not attract Marco's attention.

"Since we are all friends, if Ananda and your business want to further expand into the New World, I can't guarantee anything else, but on the territory of the Whitebeard Pirates, I can guarantee that there will be no problem."

He learned that Ananda came to Fish-Man Island for business, and was engaged in the clothing business. After becoming popular on Fish-Man Island, Marco also became interested.

He is not only the ship's doctor and captain of the Whitebeard Pirates, but also Whitebeard's right-hand man.

He is responsible for many of the operations and management of the Whitebeard Pirates' territory.
