[Pirate] I! Orochimaru! I will never split! Chapter 130

A group of people burst into laughter, bending over backward, and it took them a while to recover. At this moment, Marco flew to Orochimaru’s side, and asked with a solemn expression, “Can you really cure Pops? Although my Phoenix ability can heal wounds and accelerate regeneration, Pops’ body functions are too weak now…”

Orochimaru did not answer immediately, but slowly infused his chakra into Whitebeard’s body, and then said:

“It’s no problem to restore Whitebeard’s combat power in a short time. My chakra, you can think of it as a special ability, it can accelerate the speed of cell regeneration, and can temporarily repair the hidden injuries in Whitebeard’s body.

But it’s only temporary, and it will only last for this battle.

To fully recover Whitebeard, the internal organs must also return to a youthful state.

As for the problem of internal organ function… after this war is over, I can give him a whole new set of internal organs when I have time.”

Marco fell silent upon hearing this.

Changing internal organs? How could it be that simple! This is not like repairing a ship and changing a mast, which is so easy; there will also be various complex rejection reactions.

It’s like forcefully inserting a new part into a precise machine; if it’s not done right, the entire “machine” might collapse.

Do you have to say it so lightly?

Whitebeard, however, did not consider these complex problems. When he heard that he could temporarily regain his youthful strength,

An excited smile instantly bloomed on his weathered face, and his laughter was as loud as thunder: “Gurararararara… Bring me some wine!”

“No!” Marco and Orochimaru stopped him at the same time. Orochimaru simply disliked the smell of alcohol, and Marco habitually disagreed.

A group of people looked at Whitebeard’s deflated expression and immediately burst into triumphant laughter. The laughter spread wantonly in the air, as if to dye everything around them with cheerful colors.

“Pops, just rest assured and recover from your illness. We’ll drink your wine for you without ceremony!” Someone shouted loudly, their words full of teasing.

After the laughter gradually subsided, everyone happily continued the banquet. After all, they were all well aware of Whitebeard’s physical condition, and now that there was hope for a cure, for them, this was undoubtedly the most dazzling dawn in these dark days.

At this moment, their only remaining concern was to bring Ace back safely. As long as Ace could return safely, they would have no more regrets.

They were all orphans to begin with, and they gathered together because of Whitebeard.

It’s just a pity that they will never be able to eat Thatch’s food again.

Orochimaru, who had just jumped off Whitebeard’s broad shoulders, was abruptly caught in Sabo’s firm embrace.

Sabo’s lips curled into a gentle smile, and he gently ruffled Orochimaru’s head with his hand, his eyes full of doting:

“(。-ω-) You worked hard.”

Orochimaru awkwardly turned his head, “Hmm… long time no see, Sabo.”

Izo quietly watched the two interacting in front of him, his gaze fixed on Orochimaru.

His eyes were scrutinizing, as if he wanted to see through Orochimaru. His gaze slowly moved down from Orochimaru’s face, carefully examining his attire.

A chainmail was worn under the white kimono, the ninja shoes were particularly eye-catching, and a large bow was formed by the shimenawa behind him.

The unique clothing and accessories, this sense of familiarity, like a wisp of smoke, lingered in his heart, giving him a feeling of intimacy.

“Ace’s brother? You… are from Wano Country, right?” Izo frowned slightly, asking tentatively, his voice carrying a hint of uncertainty.

“No.” Orochimaru answered simply and decisively, without any hesitation. Sabo didn’t speak, just continued to rub Orochimaru’s head.

Sabo’s gaze lingered on Izo’s kimono. The style, color, and pattern of the kimono bore distinct marks of Wano Country. A hint of curiosity flashed in his eyes, like a ripple on a calm lake.

“Is Izo from Wano Country?” Sabo’s words were questioning, his tone light yet full of curiosity.

“Yes…” A ripple of memory appeared in Izo’s eyes.

“My master was Kozuki Oden, the second division commander of the Whitebeard Pirates. Lord Oden was a great man; he had extraordinary charisma and fearless courage.

Later, Roger took Lord Oden away, and as Lord Oden’s subordinate, I should fulfill his promise on his behalf, so I stayed.

After so many years, I have also come to regard the Whitebeard Pirates as my home.”

“I see…” Sabo scratched his head, feigning a hint of apology, “But I’m not very familiar with this Oden, so I’m sorry, I can’t appreciate the greatness you speak of.”

As he spoke, Sabo habitually reached out and smiled, patting Orochimaru’s head, his movements full of intimacy.

However, the next second, Sabo only felt a great force, and his palm was swollen and red. Sabo pitifully blew on his hand, which was swollen like a bun. Really, don’t take your anger out on me.

“Tsk…” Orochimaru secretly clicked his tongue and muttered softly, “I’m not angry, but patting my head like this will keep me from growing taller.”

On the other side, in Impel Down, Luffy, along with Ivankov, Inazuma, Buggy, Mr. 3, and Bon Clay, moved forward and finally reached the sixth level of the prison.

With Buggy’s help, when they encountered Magellan, Buggy disintegrated the attacks of the Hydra, and at the same time, Mr. 3 also used his wax to create a protective shield to cover everyone.

Even so, Luffy and the others were still injured, but only lightly. In the process of walking, they accidentally fell into Level 5.5.

On Level 5.5, Luffy met Ivankov and Inazuma. Ivankov learned that Luffy was Dragon’s son, so he decided to help Luffy.

Time returns to this moment. On the sixth level of Impel Down, Luffy ran wildly like a headless fly, constantly shouting Ace’s name, his voice echoing in the silent prison corridor.

The group traveling with him, however, noticed something unusual. The prisoners here were all unusually quiet, as if their souls had been drawn out. This dead silence formed a sharp contrast with Luffy’s noise.

Luffy’s anxious shouts, like a sharp signal, attracted Jinbe’s attention. After all, in this empty and oppressive sixth level, after Ace was urgently sent away by Magellan,

Now, only the three of them were still moving on this sixth level… No, it should be two, Bullet was completely like dead.

“This way… You’re Straw Hat Kid, you’re late.” Jinbe’s voice was low and hoarse.

“Ace has already been taken away and should have been delivered to Marine Headquarters by now.”

Upon hearing this, Luffy felt as if all his strength had been drained, and for a moment, he was disheartened. But soon, Luffy regained his fighting spirit.

“I’ve decided! I’m going to Marine Headquarters! If I don’t go, I’ll regret it for the rest of my life!” Luffy clenched his fists, his eyes firm.

Just then, Crocodile appeared behind the bars in front of Luffy, his expression gloomy and his eyes dark and unclear.

“Understood, just let us out. After all, there are only three of us left on this level,” Crocodile said impatiently, looking at Straw Hat Luffy.

Luffy stared at Crocodile in front of him, thinking hard, then suddenly realized, pointing at him with a shocked expression.

“You… you’re that Warlord who was tricked by Orochimaru! Ah… no, this… can’t be said… just pretend I didn’t say anything.”

Luffy seemed to realize he had said something wrong, quickly covered his mouth with his hand, his eyes wide open, looking innocently at Crocodile.

“So, what were you just saying?”

Crocodile’s mouth twitched. So the whole world knew he had been tricked?
