Chapter 139 It's time to announce our existence to the world.
Kuroro asked Shizuku to deliver the daily newspaper to Old Man Sha, who reads newspapers.
After all, Old Sha knows more information than I do, and he might be able to deduce other things from clues in other reports.
Then Kuroro slowly stood up, walked to Bonney's side, patted her head, and sat down beside her: "I know what you want to ask."
Kuroro spoke softly, his gaze fixed on the distant sea of clouds.
"We will definitely be at Marineford on the day of the execution."
"I know why you went to sea, and I know how much you want to see Big Bear."
Bonnie may be lazy and gluttonous, but contrary to her outward appearance, she is very intelligent and carries a heavy burden.
From the moment she saw the World Government announce Ace's public execution in the newspaper, she had already glimpsed the distant future through the fog.
That must have been an incredibly epic and magnificent war.
Edward Newgate the Whitebeard was a man who treated his crew as family, as sons.
Therefore, the World Government's actions can be seen as a provocation.
The world's strongest man... The war between the Four Emperors' crews and the Navy, which he leads, will surely engulf all other forces.
At that time, the Phantom Pirates will be nothing more than an insignificant pebble in a turbulent sea. How can they possibly stand on that grand stage amidst the vortex of power struggles among various factions...?
Am I being too willful...?
"1
Bonnie showed such vulnerability for the first time, burying her head between her legs.
That's the Navy Headquarters, you know...
If it weren't for this opportunity, how could she have infiltrated the Navy Headquarters and met her father?
She wanted to ask him directly why a man like her father would compromise with the World Government and become a member of the Seven Warlords of the Sea.
She wanted to see Big Bear again; this was her only chance.
Sitting to the side, Kuroro shook his head with a smile, seemingly lost in thought, his grin spreading across his face.
"Of course not, you're far from being as willful as I am~"
Bonnie looked up at him.
A gentle glint appeared in Kuroro's eyes: "You know Uvogin, right? He's always clamoring for revenge against Smoker, talking about defeating the mist-like creatures like E. He even wants to take on the Rattlesnake (Kaido) of Hell, and the Beast Papp (Big Mom)."
"And then there's Nobunaga. Ever since he fought Hawkeye last time, he's been so into it that he dreams of surpassing him and becoming the world's greatest swordsman."
"Phinx goes without saying. He wants to enter the underworld and become its king. He will inevitably have to fight Doflamingo in the future."
"And then there's Feitan... He's the one among us who hates oppression the most. He says that one day all those arrogant people in this world will become his prisoners, to be tortured by him every day."
"Look at them, aren't they all so willful?"
Kuroro gave a gentle smile.
"Bonnie, you've got the cause and effect wrong. It's not that you're too willful, it's just that..."
'
"The Phantom Troupe... is actually made up of a group of willful people like this~"
He turned to Bonnie, a smile playing on his lips. "Have you forgotten? I said that when you joined."
"If you want something, take it."
"This...is our creed."
"Your only wish is to save your father as a daughter."
"
"If such a small wish cannot be fulfilled, then we would no longer be the Phantom Troupe."
Uvogin was the first to emerge from the deck, giving Bonnie a mischievous flick on the head. "Yo-ho!"
Bonnie covered her head and glared at her angrily.
Nobunaga, with a smile on his lips, leaned firmly against the railing behind her, showing everything through his actions.
Finks ruffled her hair, and Bonnie looked annoyed.
"What are you thinking, you little brat? Just leave things to the commander to figure out. We're just responsible for carrying them out."
Feitan silently followed behind, "Idiot—"
—
"Take that word back!" Bonnie warned, clenching her fist.
The others followed suit, smiling as they sat down around the two.
Although Bonnie was fixing her hair with a look of disgust, the warmth on her face was undeniable.
She stared blankly at Kuroro.
When did Bonney begin to unconsciously consider herself a member of the Phantom Troupe?
Perhaps it was after Kuroro took him to Baratie for a big meal?
No, no, that's not right.
Did Chrollo use the stolen Celestial Gold to save her homeland, the Kingdom of Sorbet?
No, no, that's not right.
He was saved from Kizaru's clutches by the other party.
wrong.
Is it because you saw the other party fly into a rage because one of your team members was injured?
That's not right either...
The truth is...
It is made up of countless moments like these.
I don't know when it started, but here, Bonnie can let go of all pretenses and be her most authentic self.
She doesn't know when it started, but facing the future, she no longer has to struggle alone, but has partners by her side to face it with laughter.
Bonnie's tears slid down her cheeks again, but this time they were tears of emotion.
Father, did you see that...?
This ocean is truly vast, and I've really found my companions...
"But...it's really dangerous."
"After all, we only have the power of one ship."
Although Bonnie longed for it immensely, she still spoke with some unease.
"Don't worry, we're not pushovers now."
Kuroro clenched the letter from the dragon in his hand, then looked at the "Thief's Points Shop" where he was just over 30,000 points away from buying Shanks' favor.
And the five members of Uvogin who have already been equipped with Devil Fruit abilities.
Unbeknownst to many, the Phantom Troupe has grown into a formidable force that no power in the world can ignore.
Kuroro clapped his hands and said, "Our top priority is to collect as many powerful Devil Fruits as possible within three months and equip the rest of the crew with them. We must continue to increase our strength."
"I absolutely must go to this execution battlefield, not only for Bonnie, but also for our dazzling debut on the world stage."
"That magnificent battlefield is the perfect opportunity for the whole world to remember us."
"Moreover, this is a perfect opportunity to give the World Government a good thrashing."
The reputation points gained in that way would be unimaginable, and besides... the Tremor-Tremor Fruit is still on that battlefield.
Kuroro slowly stood up, his voice elegant and deep: "It's time to announce our existence to the world."
Robin watched this scene with envy from a corner; what an amazing team they were.
However, even if the World Government can tolerate the existence of teams that steal Devil Fruit abilities, it can never tolerate the existence of those who can decipher the Void Century.
Perhaps... she is the biggest hidden danger on this ship.
