Chapter 307: Arc 18: Reinforcements Arrive! The Commander of the Whitebeard Pirates!


"No one was there..." Sanji moaned. "I found a pleasure hall, heaven on earth, but no one was there. Is this a bad dream?"

"No women in the pleasure hall means no men are there, either." Kin'emon stated, walking past the dejected Sanji. "We can cross the bridge now. Infiltration team, good luck."

"That's the spirit, guys." Chopper popped out of the Brachio Tank V.

"The rest of you, follow me." Kin'emon led his group forward.

"We'll go too." Usopp followed suit.

"Brachio Tank V will bring up the rear." Chopper saluted. "Start moving. Sniper and driver Usopp, move Brachio Tank V ahead slowly, matching speed with the infantry."

"Roger that, Tank Commander Chopper." Usopp responded. "Dead slow ahead."

"Keep an eye on windows of the pleasure hall, just in case." Kin'emon warned. "If you see a human figure in the window..."

"Kin'emon!"Shishilian whispered a warning, seeing a shadow by a window.

"It's noisy outside." Big Mom remarked.

"Everyone, dive into the water." Kin'emon instructed.

"What?" Chopper gawked at Big Mom's shadow by the window as the Brachio Tank V rolled past.

Usopp stopped the tank just as Big Moon slid open the door.


Meanwhile, at the waterfalls...

"That's..." Charlotte Smoothie gaped when King's shadow appeared right above the Queen Mama Chanter.

"What?" Charlotte Perospero exclaimed. "King? That bastard came back? No," he corrected. "That's not him. Marco?"

"So, the rumor about the Big Mom Pirates and the Beast Pirates' alliance is true, yoi." the First Commander of the Whitebeard Pirates remarked.

"Show no mercy." Perospero ordered. "Shoot him down."

Marco dodged Smoothie's, Charlotte Galette's, Charlotte Basskarte's and Charlotte Mont-d'Or's attacks. "Now, go away. Phoenix Brand!" he landed his two-legged kick on the hull of the Queen Mama Chanter and sent the ship descending down the waterfall a second time. "The next time you make it to the Land of Wano, you might find things are slightly."

"What the?" Cat Viper saw the falling ship. "A big ship is falling?"

"Look up." Izo stated.

"Show off." Ace snorted.

"It's been a while." Marco reminisced, remembering how Jozu had returned from Dressrosa with the Gura Gura Fruit in hand.


In the Polar Tang...

"There's a strong current ahead." Bepo reported.

"It's a bit risky, but should we plunge into it?" Penguin inquired.

"Yeah." Law responded. "Don't screw up."

"We'll charge at full speed." Shachi replied.

"Don't panic." Law warned, the fierce current bombarded the submarine. "Keep it horizontal."

"I'll adjust the trim." Shachi worked on the controls.

"Okay, it's looking good." Law nodded, the submarine stabilizing.

"Can you hear me?" Cat Viper sounded from Dogstorm's Den Den Mushi.

"Is it Cat?" Dogstorm asked. "You're late. You just arrived?"

"We just climbed up the falls." Cat Viper confirmed.

"Do you know what day and what time it is?" Dogstorm snapped.

"It's the night of the Fire Festival, the day of the great battle, so we're just in time." Cat Viper replied.

"You can't say that yet." Dogstorm chided. "We're already on our way to the northwest end of Onigashima."

"Then, see you later." Cat Viper hang up.

"Wait, hey, Cat!" Dogstorm shouted down the Den den Mushi.

"He's as hasty as ever." Kawamatsu noted. "I hope they can make it in time for the raid."

"I haven't seen Cat since we got separated, but just like Dog, I guess he's quite big now." Kiku remarked.

"That damn cat..." Ashura complained. "He'd better move as fast as he can. We'll reach the back entrance soon."

"I don't think he's going to make it in time." Law interjected. "Because of the sea current, normal ships can only approach from the front."

"I hope Kin'emon and Denjiro have reached the back entrance without any problems." Raizo spoke.

"Yeah." Dogstorm agreed. "I want to fulfill Oden-sama's wish together with everyone."
