Chapter 224: Whitebeard’s Sigh, He Really Looks Like Shanks!

Chapter 224: Chapter 224: Whitebeard’s Sigh, He Really Looks Like Shanks!

Seeing this, Whitebeard squinted his eyes. Before him were two identical wanted posters, but the bounties on them were different.

"What’s there to be happy about? He’s just a pirate with a bounty of thirty million, now up to ninety-nine million."

Hearing this, Marco put his hands behind his head and said:

"Things are backwards, backwards."

Hearing Marco say this, Whitebeard’s brow furrowed.

"What do you mean? Don’t be so disrespectful to your old man."

Upon hearing this, Marco quickly said:

"Ah, Old Man, you misunderstood. I meant the order of the wanted posters is reversed."

"This guy should have dropped from ninety-nine million Belly to thirty million Belly."

As soon as he said this, Whitebeard’s eyes narrowed. He then bent down and picked up the two wanted posters from the ground.

During this time, the already connected IV drip shattered on the floor.

The nurses in uniform all bustled around, reattaching the IV drip to Whitebeard.

Whitebeard picked up the wanted posters, glanced at them, and a look of seriousness appeared in his eyes.

"What is Sengoku up to? This doesn’t seem like him."

Hearing this, Marco put his hands in his pockets, tilted his head up slightly, and said:

"This is probably the work of those old guys in the World Government."

Whitebeard didn’t comment on Marco’s words.

He quietly looked at Raynor’s wanted poster and said:

"For some reason, seeing this kid makes me inexplicably think of that hateful face of Shanks."

Hearing this, Marco burst out laughing.

"Right? I feel the same way. Could it be that Shanks secretly has a younger brother?"

Saying this, Marco couldn’t help but burst into laughter.

But Whitebeard’s face showed no hint of a smile.

He then muttered to himself:

"If that were true, it would be troublesome."

...

On Skypiea.

After a night of revelry, the Straw Hats fell sound asleep.

The next morning, they were forcefully awakened by Nami.

Luffy, with a bump on his head, slowly got up and scratched his head, asking in confusion:

"Hey, it’s so early, Nami. What are you up to?"

Hearing this, Nami directly pulled on Luffy’s cheek and said:

"Hey, I really don’t understand how you guys fell asleep. We have such a huge piece of gold left here, aren’t you afraid it will be stolen?"

Hearing this, Raynor, still groggy, pointed at the Golden Bell, which was still enormous even from hundreds of meters away, and said:

"You mean that thing? If someone can really carry it away, they can have it."

Raynor’s words completely broke Nami.

Nami punched Raynor on the head and said:

"Hey, what nonsense are you talking about? That’s gold! It might not even be as valuable as the One Piece, you idiot!"

As soon as she said this, Luffy, who was half asleep, immediately sat up excitedly and said:

"What, the One Piece? Is that the One Piece? Then am I the Pirate King now?!"

Before Luffy could finish speaking, Nami punched him on the head.

"I was just using a metaphor! Just a metaphor!"

"In any case, I’m not giving up this gold. You all must keep a close eye on it!"

Hearing this, Zoro, who was still half asleep, said:

"How are we going to transport such a Golden Bell down? The Going Merry probably can’t carry it."

Hearing this, Nami stuck out a finger and said confidently:

"I’ve already thought of that. As long as we tow the Golden Bell behind the Merry, it will be fine."

Hearing this, Raynor said casually:

"It would be fine in normal weather."

"But don’t forget, we are in the Grand Line now."

"The weather in the Grand Line cannot be judged by ordinary standards."

Hearing this, a look of disappointment appeared in Nami’s eyes.

She then tentatively said:

"Then, if, I’m just saying if, we cut the Golden Bell into equal portions..."

Before Nami could finish speaking, Robin immediately objected.

"Absolutely not. The Golden Bell also records ancient texts, and it might contain lost history. If it’s lost, it will be a loss to the world."

Hearing Robin’s words, Nami quickly waved her hand.

"Ah, I didn’t mean that. It’s just that I’m so reluctant to give up such a large piece of gold."

Hearing this, Raynor pointed to two giant golden pillars lying next to the Golden Bell.

"Just taking these two golden pillars will be enough."

"The Golden Bell weighs at least a thousand tons, and it can fetch hundreds of billions at any bank."

"But which bank would be wealthy enough to handle such a large transaction?"

"It’s better for us to take these two golden pillars. It’s easier to cut them up, and it avoids the predicament of the bank not having enough money to cash them out promptly."

Hearing this, Nami couldn’t help but shed tears. Helplessly, she could only agree.

But she was still unwilling to give up such a large piece of gold.

However, the Golden Bell was not only an important artifact for preserving history.

It was also the spiritual sustenance of the Shandians for eight hundred years.

It would indeed be cruel to destroy it like this.

Thinking of this, Nami couldn’t help but sigh and say:

"Alright, then let’s cut up these two golden pillars."

At this moment, Nami was enveloped in darkness, with a hundred ghosts seeming to be marching around her.

Chopper was so scared that he burrowed into Usopp’s arms.

"Ah, Nami is so scary!"

After a long time, Nami recovered and pointed at Raynor:

"I’ll leave this task to you. You should be able to do it, right?"

Hearing this, Raynor frowned.

This guy still liked to order others around as usual.

However, Raynor didn’t want to shirk the responsibility.

Nami could let go of such great profit as the Golden Bell.

It was already quite difficult.

With this thought in mind, Raynor walked up to the two giant golden pillars.

Then, he silently chanted:

"System, manifest Zanpakuto!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a samurai sword, narrow at the front and wide at the back, appeared in Raynor’s hand.

Bright flames shot out from within the Zanpakuto,

Around him, there seemed to be sounds of dragons roaring and tigers howling.

This commotion successfully attracted the attention of the Sky Islanders and the Shandians.

Seeing Raynor’s actions, they all looked on in disbelief.

Let alone them, even Zoro and Sanji couldn’t believe that Raynor would use a sword to cut gold?

The hardness of gold is comparable to Seastone.
