Chapter 687: MSOC: Chapter 687

Comforting voices rang out one after another on the vast deck.

Even Whitebeard reached out his large hand and patted Ace on the shoulder, taking it as comfort.

It could be said that, looking around the scene, only Rayleigh, after watching the surveillance footage from the Den Den Mushi, revealed a look of astonishment.

Compared to the others who were kept in the dark, Rayleigh’s first thought was that this person was 90% likely to be Uchiha Kai.

However, how he had changed his identity again was something Rayleigh couldn’t know.

But, besides him, there was absolutely no one else who would dare to attack Kaido of the Beasts at this critical moment.

”Pops, Usa Island is ahead.” A low voice came from the observation deck on the main mast.

Whitebeard came back to his senses and nodded, saying, ”Hmm, thank you for your hard work during this time, going out of your way to make a detour and taking up time to go back to Thatch’s hometown.”

”Pops, you’re being too serious. Thatch and us are like real brothers. This little distance won’t delay anything,” Thirteenth Division Commander, Water Buffalo Atmos, said first.

The other commanders also nodded in agreement.

”Good, I, Whitebeard, am too lucky to have you all as my sons,” Whitebeard laughed loudly and said, ”However, the existence of the Dark-Dark Fruit does need to be kept closely guarded, otherwise, once it spreads, it might arouse the greed of many old geezers, and it would be a blow to our Whitebeard Pirates.”

”By the way, where did Thatch go? Why isn’t he participating in the banquet? Is he impatient and planning to go back and reunite with his beloved son?”

As these words fell, everyone was stunned.

As a pirate, and the head of the Four Emperors, holding a banquet every time they met was a routine thing.

So, they hadn’t paid much attention to who had participated and who hadn’t.

Now that Whitebeard had suddenly called out Thatch’s name, they realized it.

”When the banquet started, he seemed a bit unwell and went back to rest on his pirate ship,” Jozu said first.

They were the sixteen division commanders on the Whitebeard Pirates.

However, they also had their own pirate ships to carry out assigned tasks.

Otherwise, having the Moby Dick run all over the sea every day to carry out small tasks would probably make Whitebeard lose face.

”Oh, Thatch feeling unwell, that’s rare,” Whitebeard said with a slight ”Huh,” ”Jozu, go and inform Thatch. Everyone else, prepare to dock.”

”After this matter is over, we’ll return to Beehive Island!”

”Pops, I’ll go now!” Jozu replied and turned to leave.

However, just as he had taken a few steps, a staggering figure rushed from the stern of the ship.

”B...Bad news!”

”Captain Thatch has been killed!”

The urgent words were shouted out without any warning.

The scene, which had been extremely noisy, instantly became silent enough to hear a pin drop.

Rayleigh’s expression also changed at once.

Subconsciously looking at Whitebeard, the change in his expression made it clear to Rayleigh that the Whitebeard Pirates were about to change.

As a former opponent, Rayleigh knew clearly what Whitebeard, as the head of the Four Emperors, valued most.

A son had died, what father wouldn’t be heartbroken!

However, Rayleigh didn’t know who was crazy enough to attack Whitebeard’s adopted son.

Was it for the Dark-Dark Fruit?

Messy thoughts flashed through Rayleigh’s mind. Watching Whitebeard, who had crushed the wine bowl in his hand,

Rayleigh knew clearly that this long-dormant man had awakened again on this sea.

Bang!

Whitebeard crushed the wine bowl in his hand, and the Conqueror’s Haki, which had been dormant in his body, exploded directly like a tide.

He roared angrily, ”You bastards, who killed Thatch!”

”Suspend the banquet, everyone search for me. I need to know immediately who killed Thatch. Even if it’s God himself, I will definitely cut him down!”

The rolling words exploded like thunder.

Feeling the violent Haki that was emanating from him, everyone’s expressions changed drastically at once.

Even Ace, who had been absent-minded, woke up suddenly, and they all began to take action.

For a time, faced with Thatch’s sudden death, the entire Whitebeard Pirates became restless.

According to Rayleigh’s view, if the first pirate group to go berserk was Kaido of the Beasts, then the second Four Emperor to go berserk would be Whitebeard.

Watching the fifteen division commanders who had been mobilized instantly, and the dozens of affiliated pirate captains who were still to come, it meant that once this matter spread, half of the New World’s sea would be shaken.

Three days later, a single-masted pirate ship appeared in a certain sea area in the first half of the New World.

On the narrow ship, only two figures appeared on the deck.

”Brother Escanor, why are you running to the first half of the Grand Line instead of going to the New World? Are you trying to avoid being hunted down by Four Emperor Kaido of the Beasts?” Cavendish couldn’t help but ask.

Remembering what had happened three days ago, Cavendish regretted it to the point that his intestines were turning green.

He finally understood what the consequences of striking up a conversation and getting himself involved were.

Looking at the bounty order in his hand, which had finally broken 100 million not long ago and reached 110 million, Cavendish couldn’t laugh at all.

If Kaido of the Beasts wasn’t hanging behind him, he might still be burning incense to the heavens.

Now, his only thought was how to live a little longer.

”I’m going to Water 7.” Escanor glanced askance at Cavendish and said, ”I advise you, it’s better not to follow me, otherwise you’ll get into big trouble.”

”Big trouble?”

Cavendish couldn’t help but roll his eyes and said, ”Could it be that you think the trouble I got into on the Sabaody Archipelago wasn’t big enough?”

”Kaido of the Beasts could come running out to f*ck me at any time.”

”This matter was caused by you dragging me into it, and now you’re chasing me away, that’s irresponsible!”

Speaking of this, Cavendish grabbed the wine jug next to him, took a swig directly, and said, ”I’m already stuck with you, what could be bigger than provoking Kaido of the Beasts!”

Watching Cavendish, who was determined not to leave, Kai, who was using the Escanor character template, felt helpless.

If Cavendish knew what his purpose for this trip was, he would probably jump ship immediately and draw a clear line.

However, since the reminder had been given and Cavendish was determined not to leave, Kai was too lazy to say more.

His gaze suddenly turned, following the huge city outline in the distance.

Kai knew that Water 7 was finally approaching.

Kai had learned about Robin’s whereabouts from Shakuyaku.

However, entering Enies Lobby wasn’t that simple.

At least, the whirlpool currents caused by the Gates of Justice couldn’t be approached by ordinary ships at all.
