C80:-OnePiece_TL_WBPirates_Ron

80. Morgans delivering an astonishing news.

│3rd Person POV│

[Grand Line, New World, Beehive Island…]

There was no way Ron could ignore what Ace just revealed.

That was a Mythical Zoan Type Devil Fruit.

In the Canon World, apart from Chopper's Devil Fruit, which Mythical Zoan was not an amazing existence?

Even Chopper was able to develop his Devil Fruit in various ways using his medical skills.

This was just the result of Chopper focusing on studying medicine most of the time and not devoting much attention to the development of his strength.

From this, it could be seen that every Mythical Zoan Type Devil Fruit was of great value.

Now a Mythical Zoan actually reincarnated in Ace’s possession.

For the Whitebeard Pirates, this was undoubtedly good news.

If the Fruit was given to the right individual, they were potentially gaining an Elite Vice Admiral level combatant.

Ae looked around for a moment and made sure that no one was paying attention to them.

Then, he opened the duffle bag on his shoulder, revealing a Devil Fruit. “Wonderful, isn’t it?”

“Yeah!”

After looking at the Devil Fruit for a few moments, Ron said, “Put it away for now. When all this is over, we would discuss it with the others and determine how to deal with this thing.”

“I also had the same idea.” Ace replied with a nod and promptly hid the Devil Fruit back in his duffle bag.

"Ron! Ace!"

At this time, Marco's shout came from the area behind them, "Come on, let's watch the battle between Pops and Ochoku.

“After Pops defeats Ochoku, we’ll go see the treasury of the Ochoku Pirates.”

"Coming!"

"Alright!"

Hearing this, Ron and Ace responded one after another.

After looking at each other, the two stepped forward without hesitation, followed Marco and others to a hill, and looked down at Whitebeard and Ochoku who were fighting in the bay area.

Captain versus Captain.

The fighting between the two sides was intense, so much so that the harbor area had long been reduced to ruins.

Even one-fifth of the entire Beehive Island was in ruins at this moment and no area was completely intact.

However, they could see that Ochoku was at a disadvantage while facing Whitebeard.

Although there was no noticeable decrease in his performance, during the fight against Whitebeard, the number of injuries on his body kept increasing.

His appearance was extremely miserable.

However, the strange thing was that even though Ochoku's injuries kept increasing, he still maintained his peak momentum and strength.

If anyone other than Whitebeard faced his attacks, they would probably be in a critical state in at most two strikes.

"Commander Marco, what kind of Devil Fruit did Ochoku eat? How can he maintain his peak state while being in such a condition?"

Ace asked curiously.

Not only him, but Ron and others on the side were also curious.

After all, Ochoku's situation was indeed strange, even borderline creepy.

"I'm not too sure either."

Shaking his head, Marco said with a complex expression, "This is the first time I have seen this Devil Fruit form.

"And the last time we encountered each other, Ochoku wasn’t a Devil Fruit user at that time.

“My guess is that Ochoku ate a Devil Fruit to maintain his peak strength after his strength started declining due to his old age.

“As for what kind of Devil Fruit he ate? To be honest, I have no idea.”

Hearing this, everyone frowned.

Without knowing the specifics of Ochoku’s Devil Fruit, they couldn’t speculate how long it would take Whitebeard to end the battle.

And if the battle went on for too long, they feared that Whitebeard’s illness may act up.

That was why, they were all hoping that Whitebeard would be able to finish this battle before it was too late.

"Marco!"

Suddenly, a voice shouted from above them.

Following the sound, it could be seen that Morgans' figure was descending from the sky and arrived at the hill where the Division Commanders, Ron, and Ace were.

"Morgans! What are you doing here?"

Seeing the person coming, Thatch spoke up warily.

As the president of the World’s Best news agency and the Emperor of the Underworld, Morgans himself was indeed an existence they should be wary of.

"No need to be nervous.”

In response to the Division Commanders' wariness, Morgans was extremely indifferent. Nonchalantly waving his hand, he said, “I don't mean any harm. I came here this time to tell you some news.

"Marine has decided to build a G6 base, and the vanguard, led by Marine Admiral Aokiji, Admiral Candidate Momousagi, and two other Vice Admirals, has already begun to move towards a suitable island located on the edge of the Whitebeard Pirates' territory."

“According to the information I just received, if the Whitebeard Pirates don't interfere with this mission, you guys will be easily monitored by the G6 base.

“All your movements and deals will be completely open to the Marines then.”

“What?”

“Building G6 base?”

Hearing this, the pupils of everyone shrank.

Taking a look at each other, they couldn’t help but exclaim, “How is that possible?”

"Are those guys crazy?"

"The G5 base was completely destroyed by Kaido not long ago. How dare they think of establishing a new Marine Base so quickly, even with the intention of spying on our Whitebeard Pirates?"

For a time, everyone was in a state of disbelief.

After all, it was beyond comprehension that after just suffering a massive loss at the hands of Kaido, they decided to make such a move.

Different was everyone else, Marco wasn’t that flustered.

Looking at Morgans, he said calmly, "Morgans, you must have something you want from us. Tell me, what do you need in exchange for providing this information?"

"Simple!"

The corners of his mouth raised, Morgans rubbed his hands, looked at Marco with piercing eyes, and said, "As long as you agree to cooperate with me in doing an exclusive interview, I will tell you guys all the specifics of why this decision was made at this time."
