[Pirate] I! Orochimaru! I will never split! Chapter 153

Sabot, who was outside the door, heard Ace’s voice, which was mixed with crying and laughing, and couldn’t help but sigh, cursing inwardly, “What a fool.”

Then Sabot frowned and muttered, “But his resistance to blows is too poor, and his butt is really hard.”

He subconsciously looked at his palm, and the figure of Orochimaru suddenly flashed through his mind.

However, he immediately drove that thought out of his mind. What was he thinking! Younger brother! Younger brother! If he dared to hit him, Orochimaru would dare to kill him.

On the other side, Orochimaru and Marco were preparing to operate on Whitebeard. After all, organs had to be replaced one by one, and it would take time to adapt, so completing it over a month was the most suitable.

Unconsciously, Orochimaru had been on Whitebeard’s ship for almost half a year (time skip).

But most of the time was spent sailing at sea, which was extremely boring. Not to mention that Ace was going crazy from looking at Orochimaru, Orochimaru was also tired of looking at Sabot.

And this was mostly when Orochimaru was holed up in the laboratory. Except for Ace and Sabot, Orochimaru basically didn’t communicate with the Whitebeard Pirates.

After all, researchers don’t need to socialize.

The operation was quickly successful. With the blessing of the Phoenix’s ability, Orochimaru saved a lot of effort. Orochimaru looked at Marco’s expression with some subtlety… Should he… secretly take some human tissue?

Marco, who was helping Whitebeard recover from his injuries, couldn’t help but sneeze. As expected, he had been using his ability too frequently recently, and his immunity had decreased.

Now Whitebeard’s body was getting younger and younger, and even his hair roots began to grow golden. It was just that his gaze towards Orochimaru became more and more loving, as if he wanted to hold him in his palm.

The members of the Whitebeard Pirates held banquets every day for various reasons, such as celebrating Pops growing hair, or Thatch’s half-year resurrection anniversary.

Whitebeard was so angry every day that he wanted to kill these guys, because he had to abstain from alcohol! In the past, these boys would still be afraid of him, but now with Orochimaru around, they had been wantonly mocking Whitebeard for more than half a year.

As the day of Orochimaru’s departure drew nearer, Izou looked at Orochimaru next to Pops and couldn’t help but walk over, scratching his head, his expression conflicted.

Orochimaru, who was being fed by Sabot, turned his head and looked at Izou, who was hesitant to speak, and said, “It’s fine, no, it’s fake.”

Izou was stunned. He hadn’t even spoken yet, how did he answer so quickly?

Ace saw Izou’s dazed look and couldn’t help but laugh, “Izou, the expression on your face is too obvious.

Orochimaru means that he has no relation to Kaido, he is not from Wano Country, and the Navy’s intelligence is fake.”

“But…” Izou’s brows were still tightly furrowed. Orochimaru was clearly from Wano Country, and they all noticed that Orochimaru was intentionally or unintentionally avoiding him.

Whitebeard laughed, “My son… it doesn’t matter where Orochimaru is from. It’s enough that the person you see in front of you is real.

However, Orochimaru, do you really not want to call me Pops?”

Orochimaru turned his head away, ignoring Whitebeard, and instead stared blankly at the sea.

Ace saw Orochimaru’s indifferent attitude towards Pops and felt a little sorry for Whitebeard.

“Orochimaru… Pops is so good, just call him once, just take pity on a lonely old man.”

When the members of the Whitebeard Pirates heard this, tears of laughter burst out, “Lonely old man? Pops, look, you even have to pretend to be a lonely old man to adopt a son.”

Whitebeard’s eye twitched, and he raised his hand to punch Ace.

“What are you talking about!”

Ace covered the lump on his head aggrievedly and mumbled, “Pops, you’re so biased. It’s clearly Orochimaru who’s ignoring you. And Orochimaru too, even if he doesn’t call you Pops, it doesn’t change the fact that Pops is your uncle.”

Although Ace’s mumbling was very soft, the young Whitebeard’s Observation Haki was powerful. He frowned.

“Ace, what are you saying? What uncle?”

Ace was stunned for a moment, then realized he had said something he shouldn’t have. He looked at Orochimaru, appearing somewhat flustered.

“Orochimaru… I… I didn’t mean to…”

Orochimaru, who was lying on Sabot, turned his head and gave Ace a glare.

“Why are you so guilty? I just don’t like it, I’ve never denied it. Not saying it is also troublesome, especially since they are annoying.”

Orochimaru gestured with his chin towards Izou. Just the childhood memories of that so-called Denjiro in his mind were enough to annoy him, and he didn’t want another one.

“I said I’m not from Wano Country because I’m really not.” (He’s from the Naruto world)

Of course, Sabot and Ace automatically understood it as: because the people of Wano Country don’t acknowledge Orochimaru’s existence, that’s why he says that.

Whitebeard looked at Ace’s expression and understood that things weren’t that simple, but if Orochimaru didn’t want to talk about it, he wouldn’t delve deeper.

Seeing everyone’s attention focused on the two talking, Whitebeard quietly stretched out two fingers, wanting to sneak a jar of sake.

Orochimaru didn’t even need to look. A shuriken flew out instantly, directly shattering the jar.

“No drinking for another month. If you take a sip, it’ll be an extra month.”

( ◢д◣) Whitebeard looked heartbroken at the shattered jar of sake.

Everyone’s attention then focused on Whitebeard, who had been caught stealing alcohol, and burst into laughter.

“Hahahahaha… Pops got caught again, he really doesn’t learn.”

Izou looked at Ace irritably, wondering what kind of riddle these two brothers were playing.

“Does it have something to do with me?” Izou asked.

“Yes… but not much.” Ace looked at Orochimaru, and seeing that Orochimaru really didn’t care, he finally breathed a sigh of relief.

“Pops… Izou… you should also be able to sense it, right? I don’t like Kozuki Oden, so every time you mention him, I leave.

Because our stances are different. To be precise, none of us four brothers have a good impression of Kozuki Oden…”

“But Lord Oden…” Izou’s emotions were a bit agitated.

“Stop! I know what you want to say. To you, Kozuki Oden is a comrade, but to us, he’s an irresponsible person.”

Whitebeard unhappily punched Ace again, “What’s yours and mine? You’re all my sons, stop dilly-dallying, speak quickly.”

Ace glared at Orochimaru in annoyance. Orochimaru looked bewildered, but in the end, Orochimaru spoke. He didn’t want Ace to concoct a year-long melodramatic play for him.

“From a scientific perspective, it was Kozuki Oden’s sperm that genetically gave me life.”

(Of course, Orochimaru felt that the system was extremely unscientific.)

Izou and the others looked bewildered, and even Whitebeard didn’t react, all looking at Marco.

Marco was startled by this news, and finally, surrounded by a group of gazes, he realized… these people didn’t understand?? His mouth twitched.

“Orochimaru means that Kozuki Oden is his father.”

“Oh…” A group of people nodded in understanding.

“What?????” After reacting, they looked at Orochimaru in shock. Most of the people on Whitebeard’s ship knew Kozuki Oden.

Izou was even dizzy from the shock of this news.
