One Piece: All-girl Group, Awakening the Blue Dragon Fruit

When Al activated the detection skill to check Margo's location, he was surprised to find that the distance displayed in his eyes had changed from the previous 10-second time limit to a permanent function.

It seems that this is a new change brought about by the upgraded search and detection function of the last mission. In this way, he can track the target's location more accurately.

After arriving at the seaside, El did not choose to board the ship, but directly used the flame cloud to lift their ship and headed towards Sphinx Island, the hometown of Whitebeard.

After flying over the sea for a long time, they finally arrived at a seemingly desolate island.

When the ship fell back into the sea from the air, Miss Barkin brought Wilbur ashore.

However, when she saw the deserted village in front of her, she couldn't help but show a look of doubt.

"What is this place? Why is Marco staying in such a desolate place? There is not even a single person here." Miss Bakin asked in confusion.

El returned to human form and pointed to the waterfall nearby and explained: "This deserted village is just a decoy. The real village is behind this waterfall."

Weibull sensed it carefully and found that there was indeed a breath of life behind the waterfall, so he said, "Mom, there is indeed a breath of life behind that waterfall."

When Miss Barkin was about to walk behind the waterfall with Weeble, Al suddenly stopped her.

"This is Whitebeard's hometown, and Marco has been guarding it. Now, it's your turn to fulfill your promise." Al said lightly.

After hearing what El said, Miss Bakin became more certain in her heart. Since this was Whitebeard's hometown, there was a great possibility that Marco was indeed here.

Originally, she wanted to continue bargaining, but seeing Al's unfriendly expression and considering that Weevil could not face Marco and Al at the same time, she finally chose to compromise.

She returned to the ship and took out the Den Den Mushi of the Shichibukai.

After the communication was connected, she loudly told the Navy liaison who answered the communication that Weevil was going to withdraw from the Seven Warlords of the Sea.

Then, without caring about the other party's response, Miss Bakin hung up the Den Den Mushi and threw it into the sea.

When she returned to land, Al had already taken out a new Den Den Mushi and handed it to her.

"It's not enough to just notify the navy. According to our agreement, you also need to notify the newspaper that reported the big news. This is the Den Den Mushi to contact them. Tell me now." Al said.

Since she had decided to leave the Seven Warlords of the Sea, Miss Barkin readily took over the Den Den Mushi and informed the intelligence personnel of the newspaper opposite Edward Wembley of his decision to withdraw from the Seven Warlords of the Sea, and asked them to announce the news to the world.

After saying this, she did the same as before, ignoring the other party's reaction, and directly hung up the Den Den Mushi and returned it to Al.

After taking the Den Den Mushi, Al gently removed the device on its back, and then released the tiny creature, allowing it to return to nature.

Miss Bakin no longer paid attention to Al and impatiently went around the waterfall and walked into a man-made cave.

When they passed through the cave, the view before them suddenly opened up to a refreshing pastoral scene.

A village like a paradise lies there quietly, with smoke rising up, interweaving with the blue sky and white clouds to form a harmonious picture.

Just as Miss Bakin looked around and was about to look for Marco's trace, she found that Al had also quietly passed through the cave and came to this peaceful land.

Her brows were furrowed, and her tone was filled with obvious displeasure and vigilance: "Our transaction has been settled, why are you still following me?"

Al smiled and responded, "Now that the deal is done, we are naturally unrelated. It should be my freedom to go wherever I want, right?"

Miss Bakin's expression became even more gloomy. She asked, "Are you also coveting Whitebeard's legacy and planning to become our enemy?"

Al waved his hand, smiling sincerely, "Don't worry, I have no interest in treasure. I am just curious about this place and want to take a look. As for your fight with Marco, I will not interfere."

Miss Barkin stared at Al doubtfully, trying to discern a hint of truth from his face.

However, El's expression was as calm as water, making her elusive.

Finally, she decided to put aside her doubts about Al for the time being and urged Weeble to move forward quickly, hoping to find Margo before Al.

Looking at Miss Barkin and Weeble's anxious looks, Al just smiled faintly.

Just follow them from a distance to make sure they don't harm ordinary people here.

He walked slowly in the village, using his observation Haki to sense the number of people and movements in the village to make sure they did not harm the ordinary people here.

Fortunately, Miss Bakin did not hurt anyone. She just asked the villagers about Marco's location and then quickly walked in the direction the children pointed.

Al stopped and had a cordial conversation with those innocent children, asking them about their living conditions and the population of the village.

On the other side, Marco was concentrating on treating the villagers' injuries. His superb medical skills won him the respect and love of the villagers.

Suddenly, he noticed a huge figure rushing towards him from a distance.

When he saw the coldly shining broadsword in Weeble's hand, his heart couldn't help but tighten.

He gently asked the old man to go into the house to rest, and he walked towards Weibull's position.

"Edward Wilbur, what are you doing here?" Marco's voice was calm and gentle, but there was a hint of vigilance in it.

He attacked Whitebeard's pirate groups everywhere and claimed to be his father's biological son. Marco had heard a little about this.

At this time, Miss Bakin came out from behind Weeble and said, "Malco, I finally found you. Please hand over Whitebeard's inheritance! I am Whitebeard's lover, and Weeble is my and Whitebeard's son."

Marco's eyes became serious, and he said calmly: "Bajin, whether what you said is true or false, this is not the place for you to make trouble. I have never taken my father's inheritance. Please leave here immediately."

But Miss Bakin would not listen to Marco's explanation at all. She firmly believed that it was Marco who took away the inheritance left by Whitebeard.

So she said to Weibull: "My dear son, this guy took away your father's inheritance. Go and take it back!"

Hearing his mother's words, Wilbur's face immediately turned angry. He raised the big knife in his hand and chopped towards Marco.

"Give my father's things back to me, you evil man!"

Marco sighed, knowing that this battle was inevitable. If he didn't teach them a lesson, they would probably continue to harass this place.

Although Marco is only a ship doctor, he is also the captain of the first division under Whitebeard, and his strength is not comparable to that of Weevil.

However, in order to prevent Weeble's violent power from causing catastrophic damage to this peaceful village, he was a little restrained.

While the two were fighting fiercely, Al was sitting in front of a house in the sun, chatting with a middle-aged man about the past of the village.

In this small village with only about a hundred households, the villagers lead a self-sufficient and carefree life.

The food they eat is all grown by the villagers themselves in the fields through hard work.

Over the years, businessmen would do charity and send some daily necessities every once in a while.

Although the elders in the village know that this lifestyle of relying on external gifts is not a long-term solution, this situation has continued since they were young, and everyone in the village has become accustomed to this simple life.

Until half a year ago, a doctor named Marco suddenly came to the village and settled down here.

He has excellent medical skills and would give away daily necessities from time to time to ensure that their basic needs were met.

After a pleasant chat with the old people, Al smiled and declined their kind invitation to a stranger to have lunch with them.

Because on the other side of the battlefield, Marco has gradually gained the upper hand, and it is estimated that it will not be long before Weevil is defeated.

While Marco was fighting, he suddenly saw Al appear in the distance.

At that moment, he had a bad feeling in his heart. Although he had met Al once in the Calm Belt, he didn't know why Al appeared here at this time.

The most likely possibility is that he is in cahoots with Weeble in front of him.

So he no longer held back, and when Weevil swung his knife at his wings, Marco used his fingertips to control the wings and turned them into a ball of fire, knocking Weevil away.

Then, he transformed into a human-beast mode, flew over to catch up with Weevil who had not yet landed, and used his feet with phoenix flames to perform the extremely powerful "Phoenix Seal", severely injuring Weevil.

Then, Marco flew straight towards Al in the distance without even looking at Weeble who was lying on the ground.

Noticing that Marco suddenly changed his target and rushed towards him, Al quickly spat out the fruit core in his mouth and explained to Marco: "Marco, I am not in the same group with him. I just passed by here to see Whitebeard's hometown."

To prove his innocence, Al pointed to the fruit in his hand and told Marco that it was a gift from an uncle in the village.

"Are you serious?" Marco asked with a hint of doubt in his voice.

He is one of the people in the world who knows the user of the Tremor-Tremor Fruit best, besides the late Whitebeard.

He was wary of Al, who was able to kill Blackbeard.

"Of course it's true." Al continued, "You forgot that Ace's brother is my friend. During the war at the top, I saved Ace once, and I was also the one who killed Blackbeard. If you don't believe me, you can go ask the uncle just now. I remember his name was Uncle Locke."

In order to verify what Al said, Marco decided to go to Uncle Locke's house in person to confirm.

When he flew over the village and saw that the villagers were still living and working in peace, most of his doubts were dispelled.

If Al was really a person with bad intentions, the tranquility of the village would have been broken by him long ago.

When Marco arrived at Uncle Locke's house, he found the family sitting in the yard enjoying a simple lunch.

Seeing Marco coming, Uncle Locke immediately smiled and greeted him warmly: "Doctor Marco, why are you here now? Stay and have dinner together!"

Then, he suddenly remembered the stranger just now, so he said: "Oh, by the way, a stranger came to see you, I told him your location, didn't you see him?"

There was a hint of curiosity and concern in his tone.

Margao replied gently, "Uncle Locke, I haven't seen him yet. What does the stranger you mentioned look like? Is there anything he wants to talk to me about?"

Uncle Locke smiled and described Al's appearance to Marco: "He is a very friendly young man. He asked me about the life of the villagers. He was quite easy-going. I thought it was noon, so I planned to invite him to have a simple meal."

After listening to Uncle Locke's description, Marco's doubts disappeared and he confirmed that Al was not an enemy now.

He smiled and said to Uncle Locke, "Uncle Locke, you guys continue to enjoy your lunch. I'll go find that stranger."

On the other side, after Marco left, Al slowly walked towards Weeble and Miss Bakin.

At this time, Miss Bakin was carefully treating Weeble's wound. When she saw Al approaching, she immediately became alert and her hands moved faster.

Al saw what Miss Barkin was doing and stayed a little further away from them, keeping a proper distance so as not to provoke an overreaction from them.

He started chatting with Miss Barkin: "Miss Barkin, haven't you discovered Whitebeard's legacy? Why do you still want to conflict with Marco?"

Miss Bakin looked up in confusion when she heard what Al said and asked, "What are you talking about? Where is Whitebeard's legacy? Where did we see it?"

Al smiled and pointed to the village below him: "This village is Whitebeard's legacy."

Miss Bakin's face was instantly filled with anger when she heard this. "Are you kidding? Whitebeard is one of the Four Emperors. How could his legacy be a run-down little village like this?"

Al spread his hands and said in a relaxed tone: "If you don't believe me, then I can't help it. You don't think that Whitebeard's legacy is a large amount of treasure, do you?"

"Of course! The legacy left behind by a man as powerful as him must be a treasure trove that is rich enough to rival a country!" Miss Bakin said firmly.

"I thought you would know Whitebeard to some extent since you were in the Rocks Pirates with him. I didn't expect you knew so little about him." Al shook his head slightly, as if he felt sorry for her misunderstanding.

"What exactly do you want to say?"

"Although Whitebeard travels across the New World, he is not actually interested in treasure. The reason why he founded his own Whitebeard Pirates after the Rocks Pirates disbanded was that he hoped to have a home of his own. That's why all the pirates under Whitebeard call him Dad."

"Even if he has no interest in treasure, as one of the Four Emperors, there must be people who would offer him gifts. Where did all the money go?" Miss Bakin asked with confusion and suspicion.

Chapter 214 Whitebeard Bloodline

Al pointed to the village below again and said, "He spent all his money here. If you don't believe me, you can ask Marco. All of Whitebeard's wealth over the years has been used to support his hometown. When you were fighting just now, I asked the old people here, and they would receive supplies from a philanthropic businessman every once in a while. This custom has continued for decades."

After hearing Al's explanation, Miss Bakin's face turned pale as paper in an instant, with anger and unwillingness intertwined in her eyes.

She almost shouted hysterically: "This is impossible, you must have colluded with Marco to deceive us!"

Her voice was filled with despair and anger, as if the whole world was collapsing at this moment.

Al looked at her almost out of control and just stood there quietly, choosing to remain silent and not to provoke her anymore.

Soon, Marco, who had confirmed the information, returned here quickly.

He looked at Weeble, who had regained some mobility, and said to Miss Barkin, "I know you and Dad were once members of the same ship. I can't comment on such matters between men and women, but I really didn't take Dad's inheritance. Don't come here again in the future."

Then, he turned to look at Al, with a hint of doubt and vigilance in his eyes: "Weibull and the others are here for Dad's inheritance. Al, why are you here?"

Al touched the tip of his nose gently and said, "I just wanted to come out for some fresh air on a whim, but after talking to Uncle Locke just now, I think I should do something."

"So what are you going to do?" Marco's voice revealed a hint of confusion.

El smiled and replied, "Margo, what do you think of this idea? I invite the people of this village to move to Alabasta together. In this way, they can live a more superior and comfortable life."

Marco frowned and asked, "What exactly do you want to do? Just tell me directly."

He was confused by Al's proposal and didn't know the other party's true intention.

“I just really want to help them.”

El's expression became serious. "Instead of letting them stay on this island, we should relocate them to a better place and live a better life. Whitebeard is gone. Do you want to protect the villagers here or the land? If it's the people here, then we should help them live a better life. If it's the land here, then it won't affect my taking them away."

Hearing his words, Marco felt that Al seemed to know the situation here very well, so he asked, "Did Brother Ace tell you?"

When Al heard Marco mention Ace, he was moved: "You can contact Ace to find out more. My reputation in his organization is also very good."

Because Wilbur and Miss Barkin were still here, he did not mention the name of the revolutionary army directly.

Marco returned to the room, took out a Den Den Mushi, and started contacting Ace.

Through Den Den Mushi, Marco learned that Ace had not told Al anything about this place.

Marco also learned from Ace about many cooperative operations between El and the Revolutionary Army.
