Chapter 19: Chapter 19: Whitebeard Jr. Is Just an Idiot
"Yeah,"Kizaru nodded, standing beside Noah as if ready to act too.Though he didn't seem that respectful of Zephyr,Zephyr was his teacher, after all.
"No need. That guy looks like an idiot.Just grab him and throw him in Impel Down.He's not gonna amount to much anyway,"Noah said casually.
There was no bounty or reward for killing Weevil,and it'd just be a waste of effort.
"Um… Admiral Kizaru, Vice Admiral Noah… can I leave now?"Doflamingo asked timidly, glancing nervously at the approaching pirate ship.A chill ran down his spine.
Something about Weevil felt eerily familiar.He might not even be weaker than Doflamingo himself.
"Hold on,"Noah said, grinning."Since you're here, why not stay and enjoy the show?"
"The show?"Doflamingo's face darkened.
He felt like Noah was deliberately making things difficult for him.He couldn't figure this guy out at all.A real headache.
"Eh? Noah, you're gonna fight after all?"Kizaru looked at him in surprise.He thought for sure Noah would let him handle it,just give Weevil a couple of kicks and be done.
"Of course. He's a wicked pirate, right?We're Marines.It's our duty to rid the world of evil.I'm just doing what the Navy's supposed to do!"Noah added, looking at Kizaru with mock disappointment."Seems your sense of justice isn't strong enough, Kizaru."
"???"Kizaru stared at him, dumbfounded.
Wasn't this the same guy who was sunbathing with him just a minute ago?He hadn't said any of this earlier.
When Doflamingo showed up, he couldn't even be bothered to lift a finger.And now he was pulling this?
"I can't compete with you…"Kizaru muttered, the corners of his mouth twitching.
When it came to shamelessness,Noah's face was thicker than a city wall.
"Hehehe,"Noah chuckled, knowing exactly what Kizaru was thinking.
"They're here."Noah's expression shifted slightly.
A massive figure leapt off the pirate ship, soaring into the air.
The glaive in his hand glinted coldly in the sunlight.
His hulking frame was like a solid wall of muscle.
But the snot dripping from his nose gave away his lack of smarts.
He stood there stiffly,eyes dull as he stared at the crowd,clearly unsure what to do.
"Idiot son! Just kill the Marines in front of you!What are you waiting for?"
A small figure jumped down from Weevil's back,stabbed his toe hard with a cane.
"Oh! Y-yes, Mom!"Weevil finally snapped out of it.
He raised his glaive toward the Marines.
"Ah!"The blade flashed through the air.
A Marine, caught off guard, collided with the glaive.
A red spray burst from his body,splattering across the deck.
The pirates nearby froze in terror,their legs like lead.
They didn't even think of fighting back.
"Out of the way!"
Hina stepped forward, face dark.
Her hands turned jet black, forming a black spear.
If it hit, it'd punch right through a person.
"Your subordinates are pretty brave,"Kizaru remarked, glancing at Noah in surprise.
It took serious guts to stand up to Weevil—a man as fierce as Whitebeard in his prime.
"Just foolish courage,"Noah said with a sigh.
To him, Hina was acting recklessly.
Instead of trying to wear Weevil down,she charged in headfirst,as if Weevil wasn't even human.
"You know, a lot of pirates don't even have the courage to face that guy,"Kizaru added, a touch of respect in his tone.
In his mind, Hina had the potential to be a Vice Admiral one day—but probably no higher.
When Hina stood before Weevil,
Snot dripped down Weevil's nose,
and his face turned red.
He was clearly smitten.
"What an idiot,"Hina muttered,but there was a hint of sadness.
Even a fool like this could become so strong.
"Idiot son!"
Miss Bakkin's face darkened.
She hadn't realized her fool of a son had thoughts like that.
She always assumed he was too dumb for such feelings.
"Mama… she's so pretty…"Weevil said dreamily,
his big eyes staring at Hina,
his grip on the glaive tightening.
This was new to him,and it felt weird.
"Kill her!There are better ones out there.I'll take you to Gran Tesoro later—the women there are even better!"
Miss Bakkin blurted out.
She couldn't risk losing control of him.
If he fell for this Marine,everything she'd built would crumble.
"...Okay."
Weevil hesitated,then nodded at her.
He chose to trust his mother.
Hina steadied her breath,channeling the Thunder Breathing technique Noah had taught her.
In an instant, her strength gathered in her legs.
She shot forward like lightning,disappearing from view as she charged at Weevil.
"Idiot son! Kill her!"
Miss Bakkin shrieked.
This woman was the one person who could steal her tool away.
"Yes, Mama!"
Weevil responded reflexively,
swinging his glaive in a wide arc,
sending a deadly slash toward Hina.
