King of the World!
What a heavy title this is!
Once upon a time, there were some formidable pirates on the seas who also wanted to become the King of the World, yet ultimately they faded away with the times. Now, this title has fallen onto the heads of the Konoha Pirates, and it has also made many ordinary people recognize them.
Slaying the Five Elders…
Defeating three of the Four Emperors…
The Navy Admiral and Admirals fleeing in disgrace…
All these have become annotations of the Konoha Pirates' formidable strength!
On the Moby Dick.
Whitebeard was flipping through the latest issue of the newspaper, looking at the three slain Five Elders in the paper, his expression turned extremely complicated: "The King of the World, huh?"
The Konoha Pirates appeared on the seas like the scorching summer sun, making people afraid to look directly at them. Now, on the entire sea, he was the only one left undefeated…
But…
Whitebeard knew the ending very well.
If he were to go to war with the Konoha Pirates, none of the sons on this ship would survive. His own end no longer mattered at that point…
"Dad? What's wrong?"
Diamond Jozu stood by Whitebeard's side, perhaps sensing Whitebeard's mood, he quickly comforted his dad: "We don't acknowledge them as the strongest! When they enter the New World, we'll drive them out!"
"Gurararara… Such foolish sons of mine!"
Whitebeard looked at Diamond Jozu, unable to help but slowly shake his head and laugh, yet the sense of an era's decline inevitably began to grow…
These foolish sons…
They don't understand the situation at all!
At that moment, Whitebeard somewhat missed Marco. It would be nice if Marco were here; at least he'd have a son to talk to about the future.
"When will Marco and Ace return?"
Whitebeard inquired about Marco and Fire Fist Ace.
"They…"
Diamond Jozu hesitated for a moment before speaking: "Ace still wants to capture Teach, and Marco is trying to persuade him to return…"
"Have them come back immediately."
Whitebeard didn't want to waste any more time on Teach's matter.
Currently, the Konoha Pirates are ambitiously moving into the New World, and they will surely come to challenge the Whitebeard Pirates. He must arrange everything before the war begins.
Even…
Possibly arranging his own aftermath.
If he wants to protect these sons during the war, he must pay with his life in the war with the Konoha Pirates.
"Tell Ace."
Whitebeard looked at the newspaper in his hand, his voice unusually severe: "This is the order of the Moby Dick's captain!"
"Yes!"
Diamond Jozu quickly nodded.
BIG MOM's territory.
Ten Thousand Countries.
Members of the Charlotte Family gathered here.
All of them are the children of Charlotte Lingling, and among them, the strength of the Four Sweet Generals stands out, with Charlotte Lingling's second son, Katakuri, being the strongest.
Charlotte Katakuri, the strongest Paramecia-type Mochi-Mochi Fruit user, excels in the Three Haki, especially the Observation Haki, second only to Charlotte Lingling in strength.
Obviously.
This meeting was chaired by Katakuri.
Katakuri liked to wear a scarf year-round, hiding the lower half of his face under it, making his exposed half-face appear particularly aloof.
"Mom is still in their hands…"
Charlotte Lingling's eldest son, Charlotte Perospero, spoke up: "Mom's defeat is known to many already. We must find out mom's whereabouts quickly; otherwise, we might soon face countless challenges…"
"But Katakuri is here!"
Charlotte Lingling's seventy-seventh child, Charlotte Flampe, who always idolized her powerful brother, Katakuri, even forming a fan club for him, spoke carelessly, pouting: "As long as Katakuri is here, no one will dare offend Ten Thousand Countries. Katakuri is a man who is invincible!"
"..."
Everyone else fell silent at once.
Because Katakuri truly is strong…
However, the people present didn't believe Katakuri could handle all the enemies. In the New World, powerful pirates with Supreme King Haki are not uncommon…
"No need to worry."
Katakuri seemed to understand his siblings' concerns and spoke in a deep voice: "The most that can bother us now are just a bunch of minor pirates. Everything that has happened in Ten Thousand Countries is still within my control, and nobody poses a real threat to us…"
"The greatest threat…"
"Still comes from the Konoha Pirates."
Katakuri placed the newspaper in his hand on the table, spoke calmly: "The Konoha Pirates have already defeated all forces in the first half, even defeating our mom, Hundred Beasts Kaido, and Red-haired Shanks. They will enter the New World in a month. The path we should take…"
"..."
Everyone in the Charlotte Family fell silent again.
Because this problem is far more serious than any problem they have encountered. Their mother, who seemed invincible to them, was already defeated, so what could they possibly do?
Charlotte Lingling's thirty-fifth child, Charlotte Smoothie, one of the Four Sweet Generals, who has always been loyal to the Charlotte Family, frowned for a while and suggested diplomatically: "If there's a war, our chances of winning are slim. It might be better to try negotiating since mom is also in their hands…"
