The Pirate Family

"It's Kuli El and Ezo!"

Based on the call of the phone bug, Joz quickly determined who the caller was.

Most of the huge majority of squad leaders under Whitebeard preferred to act alone, because with their strength, as long as they didn't encounter those legendary powerhouses, they would have no problem escaping even if they couldn't defeat them.

But Ezo was the only exception. Because he was born in the country of Harmony, even after drifting on the ocean for so many years, he still didn't know anything about sailing, so he could only borrow the other squad captains' boats, except that since the entire Whitebeard Bandit Group, under the leadership of Pops, was like a big, warm family, the relationship between the squad captains was relatively cordial, and no one took this as a serious matter.

"The route they're patrolling is relatively close to the Moby Dick, so they should be able to make it back soon."

Marko said with a smile, but he was still a little confused about the call.

It was because their patrol route was closer to the Moby Dick, so they would usually report back to the Moby Dick if there was nothing going on, after they had returned to it.

Was something wrong?

With such a puzzled feeling, Marco picked up the phone worm.

But surprisingly, the voice from the other end of the phone worm was that of a very strange, middle-aged man.

"Your companion, it seems, is in my possession."

"Who are you?"

Marco motioned to his companions next to him not to disturb Pops, while he lowered his voice and asked a cold question to the other.

"You should know who we are, and what happens after a shot is taken at our companions."

Marko's icy voice rang out on the Moby Dick, and the pirates who were resting around, after hearing Marko's voice, also stood up and came around towards Marko.

They all showed unsuppressed anger on their faces.

The White-bearded Pirates were one big family, and anyone who took a shot at their family would be brutally retaliated against by them.

This was rather similar to another power, the Vennhill family, and Lorne was also known throughout the sea for not sparing anyone who harmed his family.

"It doesn't matter who I am."

On the other end of the phone bug, the man's voice continued.

"What matters is that your companions, in my hands, come and say hello to your companions."

The man handed the phone worm to the side and all Marco heard was an "oooh" sound.

"It's Ezo!"

But just by the sound of his voice, Marco was able to identify the other side. Takezo and Kouli'el's strength wasn't too strong among the various squad captains under Whitebeard, but it wasn't too weak either.

The other side had even managed to capture the two of them, so they definitely weren't weak. And anyone who sailed in the New World would not have not heard of their name, the Whitebeard Bandits.

So Marko wanted to know who had the guts to take on the Whitebeard Bandits.

Only, the other party didn't give Marko time to continue with his mantra.

"If you want to ransom your companions, prepare a sufficient ransom, a billion Bailey, to buy two lives of your companions, seems to be a very good deal for you."

"I know your power, and equally know that you can definitely come up with that much money, don't try to bargain, because you should know very well that if I turn these two men over to the Navy, their bounty alone will add up to more than seven hundred million Bailey. For me, there is no difference between handing them over to the navy and handing them over to you. So, in order to avoid any unpleasant things from happening, it's better to ask you guys not to do anything that makes me impulsive."

The man on the other side spoke in a flat tone, but Marco forced himself to contain his anger.

"Bailey can give it to you, but again, you should not do anything to overstep your bounds, after all, you should know our code of conduct."

"The deal is done."

The man on the other side seemed somewhat pleased, and after agreeing on a time as well as a place for the exchange of hostages, without Marko continuing to ask anything more, the man decidedly hung up the phone bug, leaving behind the angry crowd on the Moby Dick.

How many years had passed, how many years had passed since anyone had dared to take a shot at the Whitebeard Bandits.

The last person who had dared to do so seemed to be the same unstoppable Hundred Beasts Kaido, and after being spotted by Whitebeard, the man hadn't hesitated to start a war.

A war between two pirate emperors.

If it wasn't for Whitebeard's health problems midway through the war, this war would have ended with the fall of a pirate emperor.

The other side had even managed to capture the two of them, so they would definitely not be weak. And anyone who sailed in the new world would not have not heard of their name, the Whitebeard Bandits.

So Marko wanted to know who had the guts to take on the Whitebeard Bandits.

The man across the table spoke in a flat tone, but Marco forced himself to contain his anger.

"Bailey can give it to you, but again, you should not do anything to overstep your bounds, after all, you should know our code of conduct."
