A group of pirates suddenly realized that this guy might not be right in the head.
But...
This guy's name...
Why does it sound so much like Edward Newgate, Whitebeard!
"You idiot son, because he's your biological father!"
The old lady gave Edward Weevil a heavy slap and scolded loudly: "Weevil, don't make a fuss here, we're here to wait for Whitebeard and that group from the Konoha Pirates to destroy each other, then we'll collect his inheritance!"
Conspiring loudly is common among pirates.
The pirates in this sea area were not surprised, but their glances were a bit strange, occasionally looking at Whitebeard, occasionally at Edward Weevil...
Honestly...
Such outrageous words, if not for Edward Weevil's appearance, some pirate groups affiliated with Whitebeard would have been so angry they would have rushed over to take him out!
No help for it...
Edward Weevil's physique and appearance make him look more like a biological son than the adopted sons Whitebeard accepted...
"Father..."
Marco looked at Whitebeard, a complicated expression on his face, as if finding it hard to think about his father's personal life.
"Oh, it's Buckin..."
Whitebeard glanced over there.
Whitebeard didn't pay much attention to Edward Weevil, who looked very much like him, but instead, glanced at the old lady riding on Edward Weevil's head.
That old lady...
In her youth, she was also a great beauty...
Whitebeard and that old lady were both part of the Rocks Pirates once, they even attacked the Valley of the Gods together, who would have thought that after all these years, the beautiful and sharp-tongued woman would have aged so...
"Ignore them."
The nostalgia in Whitebeard's eyes flashed and disappeared, his gaze remained fixed on the distant Black Island, and he said softly: "Prepare to land and explore that Black Island!"
"Jinbe has already gone!"
After Marco spoke, worried that Whitebeard might think his arrangements were inadequate, he quickly explained: "Jinbe insisted on going first, saying he wants to check the Black Island's situation from the sea bottom..."
Because Jinbe is a Shark Fishman, he can hide freely in the sea and believes there shouldn't be as much danger in the sea, he volunteered to investigate Black Island's condition.
"..."
Whitebeard just slowly shook his head and didn't say more.
Because Whitebeard once planted his flag on Fishman Island, protecting its peace, preventing slave traders who captured fishmen from landing, guarding Fishman Island for decades, and earning deep gratitude from fishmen.
Jinbe...
Was extremely loyal and righteous.
This loyal and righteous sea knight did many things to repay Whitebeard.
Jinbe voluntarily gave up his position with the Seven Warlords of the Sea to join the Whitebeard Pirates in resisting the Konoha Pirates' war, even though he knew his strength was insignificant in the war, he still came to fight.
Splish splash...
Suddenly, a sound came from beneath the sea, a robust fishman silhouette leaped up from the water and landed on the deck!
" You're back, Jinbe?"
Whitebeard saw Jinbe appear and finally relaxed.
"Father!"
Jinbe quickly shook off the water droplets on himself, not showing any fear on his face, but speaking with a somewhat serious look: "I checked the Black Island's situation from the sea, and it seems different from what I expected..."
"What is it?"
Fire Fist Ace asked nervously.
"That Black Island..."
"It is very likely man-made..."
Jinbe's fist slowly clenched, his expression becoming increasingly serious: "I went underneath Black Island, there are traces of recent movement of the seabed reefs, someone gathered the seabed reefs together to form Black Island..."
"The seabed reefs... are they black?"
Someone couldn't help but curious ask this question.
"Of course they aren't black..."
Jinbe shook his head, his eyes becoming more stern: "The reason that island is black is that it is permanently covered and wrapped in Armament Haki!"
"!!!"
Everyone present was shocked!
"You're joking, right?"
Diamond Jozu looked at the Black Island, put his hand over his forehead, squinted at the island, and couldn't help but say: "That's an island!"
Moreover...
It's not a small island!
Even in the New World, Black Island is a vast island, how could anyone wrap the island in Armament Haki!
The strongest Armament Haki people have seen so far belongs to Uchiha Madara of the Konoha Pirates, but Uchiha Madara's Armament Haki only wraps around his Susanoo, it can't possibly cover an entire island!
"Gurararara..."
Whitebeard's mouth finally cracked into a smile.
This old man seemed to see something extremely interesting, as if his mood completely relaxed at this moment, he also seemed to understand why Black Island appeared.
"Those guys..."
Whitebeard's smile was somewhat uncontrollable as he mumbled: "This really is a good place they've found..."
"Is it... a battlefield?"
Marco voiced his guess, sweat slowly starting to drip from his forehead: "The Konoha Pirates, those monsters... so luxurious as to use Armament Haki to permanently cover the entire island, intending to use Black Island as a battlefield?"
