At this mont, their ship nearly smashed the opposing vessel of similar size to pieces!
A massive crack split the other ship down the middle.
Their electric-powered ship almost plowed straight through it, nearly cutting it in half!
If Marco hadn't slowed down just in ti...
It definitely would have been bisected.
But even now, Marco stared at the massive crack on the prow of their ship, his face darkening.
'Damn it... this ship was a gift.'
'It hasn't even been two hours since we set sail!'
'And now it's wrecked!'
'How am I supposed to face the crew of the Whitebeard Pirates—no, how am I supposed to face myself?'
Fuming, Marco shoved the door open and stord out.
At the sa ti, a woman from the nearly-wrecked ship also burst out of her control room.
The two locked eyes the mont they stepped out.
Marco imdiately shouted, "Hey, you! Do you even know how to steer a ship?!"
"If you don't know how to sail, go ho and sleep it off! What are you doing out here, wrecking other people's property?!"
He jabbed his finger toward her, nearly poking it into her mouth.
But instead of the angry outburst he expected, the woman responded in an unexpectedly polite tone.
She bowed—a full ninety degrees.
"I'm so sorry! This was entirely my fault! I just learned how to sail recently! Whatever the repair costs are, I'll pay—"
This...
This completely threw Marco off.
'Huh?'
'You're not following the script.'
'Aren't you supposed to yell back at ?'
'Why are you apologizing outright?'
'And not just apologizing—offering to pay?!'
Marco glanced at the nearly bisected ship behind her, then back at her, disbelief written all over his face.
'Your ship's in worse shape than mine, and you're worried about paying us?'
'Where the hell is this person from? Who raised her? Their manners could rival ours in the Whitebeard Pirates.'
Just then, Vir—who had just managed to peel himself off the cabin wall—froze as he heard the woman's voice.
That voice... it sounded so familiar!
But... how could she be here?
That doesn't make any sense.
Vir's mind raced. He quickly ran toward the source of the voice.
There stood a woman with long white hair, dressed in a kimono, horns on her head, and a figure so explosive it defied physics—repeatedly apologizing to Marco.
Yamato!
It really was her!
What the hell was she doing here?!
Wasn't she supposed to be stuck in Wano?
Could it be... Kaido is dead?
Otherwise, how could Yamato be out here?
Vir was stunned. This was completely unexpected.
And just as Yamato straightened from her bow, she locked eyes with Vir.
Her previously apologetic expression instantly turned into one of pure shock—matching Vir's perfectly.
The two stared at each other—your surprise outmatched only by mine.
Marco was absolutely dumbfounded.
"What the hell is this?"
'I crashed into soone's ship... and now you two are locking eyes like you're in a damn romance drama?!'
Marco was speechless.
"You... you... y-you're Vir, right?!"
Yamato finally ca to her senses and pointed at Vir, eyes sparkling with excitent.
She even started hopping in place from how fired up she was!
Honestly, it looked kind of cute.
But when Marco heard her say that, his face darkened even more.
'Oh, great.'
'This girl's obviously seeing Vir for the first ti.'
'She must've only known him from bounty posters. But...'
'But you were apologizing to this whole ti!'
'Why... why don't you recognize ?!'
'My bounty's even higher than his, damn it!'
Vir, anwhile, was just as surprised to hear her call out his na.
How did this girl recognize him?
She didn't seem like the type to care about bounty posters...
Could it be... Ace?
He was probably the only one who could've ntioned him to her.
"I'm Vir. You know ?"
Vir asked cautiously.
After all, it was just a guess.
But as soon as he finished speaking—
Yamato lunged at him!
Yup. Lunged.
She launched herself at him like she was trying to tackle him into the afterlife!
Vir froze on the spot.
He never expected this kind of reckless charge from Yamato!
This was their first ti eting!
You can't just go full-on body slam right off the bat!
By the ti he thought of teleporting away, it was too late.
Yamato's hands were already on his shoulders.
And then—
*BOOM!*
Vir was sent flying!
The two of them crashed hard into the deck.
Marco, who was already reeling from emotional damage, stood there with his jaw on the floor.
'What the—'
'WHAT THE ACTUAL—'
'WHAT IS THIS?!'
'Am I... interrupting sothing here?!'
'Should I just jump into the sea and give you two so privacy?!'
'Call back when you're done?!'
'I've been single for over thirty—no, forty years!'
'You bastard—'
'You run into a random girl, and she just throws herself at you?!'
'Have you no sha?!'
'Animals!'
'ABSOLUTE ANIMALS!!'
Marco's jealousy was so intense his eyes were turning red.
The bitter despair of a middle-aged man consud him entirely.
'Have I fallen behind the tis?'
'I'm getting old...'
'I'm just too damn old!'
Vir had mostly been stunned into inaction, which allowed Yamato to bring him down like that.
But her strength was nothing to scoff at either.
She wasn't much weaker than Vir.
"Vir! Vir! I finally found you! Hahahaha! This is amazing!"
Yamato wrapped her arms around his neck, shaking him so hard his head *thunked* against the deck repeatedly.
"Mmph—! L-Lightning Cannon!"
*BOOM!*
Yamato went flying.
But not too far—just enough to land next to Marco.
"Huff... huff..."
Vir gasped for air like a drowning man.
That was way too close.
Getting suffocated by boobs is no joke...
Marco, anwhile, was about to lose it.
'Bro.'
'If you don't want her, give her to !'
'I'm not picky!'
'You even went and blasted her off you?!'
'Young people these days... you really don't know how good you have it.'
'Just wait till you hit my age—you will regret this!'
'You ungrateful bastard!'
Vir hadn't used much force—just enough to push her off without doing damage.
Yamato, now sitting on the deck, stared at Vir with wide-eyed amazent.
So cool! He could knock her away even while pinned!
This is aweso!
Seeing her gearing up for another charge, Vir quickly raised a hand.
"Stop! Stay right there! Don't move!"
"Whatever you have to say, say it from there! One more step and I won't hold back!"
Marco: [Internally screaming]
Yamato froze at Vir's warning.
Finally, she realized... this might've been a bit much.
Right. He didn't even know who she was yet.
"Hello. Nice to et you."
She gave a polite nod... then shot Marco a quick glance.
Marco: [Suffering]
"My na is Yamato! I ca here specifically to find you!"
Her eyes sparkled with determination.
"I want to invite you to join the Beasts Pirates!"
