Beehive Island

The location is Mary Geoise, Pangaea Castle, Chamber of Power.

The Five Elders gathered together as usual for their daily meeting.

"It's unbelievable that that lord actually came in person."

The Five Elders, with their long, snow-white beards, stood by the window and said with a sigh, "How long ago was it that sir last left Mary Geoise?"

"I remember it very clearly when it was God Valley; back then, I never imagined I would one day sit in this position."

Wearing a black hat, the bearded Five Elders, with a calm expression, spoke solemnly, "After all, it is that thing that is lost; even Imu-sama cannot ignore it."

"Yes, it's just a pity it was too late. Although that Rocks eventually died there, that thing can never be found again."

The blond Five Elders sighed, "That bastard Roger, killing him again and again wouldn't be enough!"

"We should be thankful that Shanks didn't act as recklessly as Roger."

The Five Elders, bespectacled and carrying swords, said, "Otherwise, we'll be in big trouble."

"No matter what, that kid has the same blood flowing through his veins as us."

The bearded Five Elders said, "Although he's a traitor, he's at least a Celestial Dragon."

"If Imu-sama encounters Shanks this time, perhaps he'll retrieve that thing while he's at it," said the bald Five Elders with a spiky mustache. "Although that lord hates troublesome things the most."

"If it's that lord, then nothing is more than a piece of cake."

The bearded elder of the Five Elders chuckled and said, "The only difference is whether you want to or not."

Now that the great one has made his decision, no one in this world can defy his will.

New World, on an island.

"Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh!!"

Yamato almost bursting with rage, his whole body trembling, as he roared hoarsely.

An invisible aura surged from her body, causing sand and stones to fly from the ground.

Seeing her like this, Sirius rolled his eyes. "Are you Saiyan going into a power-up?"

"Idiot, you're squeezing my hand so hard it hurts."

"Sirius!"

Yamato stopped yelling, frowned, and said with dissatisfaction, "You don't seem to be taking this seriously at all?"

"So what?"

Sirius squeezed her hand. "You're so focused, have you gained something? But I don't seem to feel anything."

Yamato chuckled immediately, "Only a little bit."

"I already said it,"

Sirius casually said, "This is a gradual process. What we need to do is not to scream and yell, but to gradually let our will get used to leaving our bodies."

After leaving the Giant Kingdom, Sirius and Yamato held hands even while traveling, never ceasing their training.

Ultimately, there were some results.

The seemingly unshakeable Wall of Sighs is gradually being breached.

It won't be long before I complete the training to separate my will from my body.

"Hmm!"

Yamato puffed out his cheeks like an inflated pufferfish, "I want to experience what it feels like to merge with Sirius's will as soon as possible!"

"I see."

Sirius smiled gently.

Yes, what would it feel like to have two people's wills merge together?

That should be fun.

"Brubrubru"

The Den Den Mushi on my body suddenly rang.

Sirius pulled out Den Den Mushi with one hand, Yamato reached out to answer it.

It's me.

A calm, deep voice came from the other end of the phone.

Sirius raised an eyebrow, then instantly broke into a smile. "Oh? Tesoro, is there already news?"

Previously, I asked Tesoro for help in finding the whereabouts of the Whitebeard Pirates, and it seems that I have some news now.

"Yes, found it."

Tesoro's tone sounded a bit strange, as if he had encountered some unexpected situation.

"What's wrong? You're not going to tell me he's no longer in the New World?" Sirius asked in surprise.

"No, Whitebeard's pirate ship is currently on an island, not far from you."

"Very good!"

Sirius's smile widened; with that, the final obstacle was finally within reach. "Thank you for your trouble this time, Tesoro. I'll treat you to dinner next time we meet."

"No, actually it didn't take much effort," Tesoro said in a cryptic tone. "In fact, you can find out the location of the Whitebeard Pirates just by buying any newspaper now."

"Ha?"

In the latter part of the New World, there is an island called Beehive Island.

This island, which was said to have been very prosperous many years ago, has become deserted in recent years.

Few people on the high seas know that long ago, this place was the base of a pirate crew that instilled fear in the entire world.

However, not long ago, a group of people landed on this island.

A group of people whose fame resounds throughout the world.

"Hahaha! How nostalgic! It's been so many years since I've been back here!"

The Golden Lion hovered in the sky, looking down at the decaying island. Memories of the past gradually surfaced, and the scenes in his memories overlapped with everything he saw before him. He couldn't help but burst into laughter.

"You actually chose this place for the final battle, Newgate? Is this some kind of nostalgia for your youth?"

Below, Whitebeard sat on a huge rock, gulping down his drink. He casually tossed the empty bottle aside. "Stop talking nonsense. What's there to miss about hanging out with a bunch of idiots?"

"It's just because it's close by."

"Hahaha, you bastard, you're as mean as ever."

The Golden Lion landed and sat cross-legged opposite Whitebeard. "But you do such pointless things, Newgate, actively releasing your information to lure Sirius over."

"I'm just too lazy to wait any longer."

The Whitebeard casually said, "Let that kid come over as soon as possible, and then take care of him quickly. I have no interest in wasting too much energy on him."

There is a grudge between the Whitebeard Pirates and the Sirius Pirates.

Long ago, Thatch, the fourth division commander of the Whitebeard Pirates, died at the hands of Sirius.

This hatred has never been forgotten.

"Newgate, you bastard!"

The Golden Lion was all smiles.

My old friend looks exactly the same as he did back then, without the slightest change.

It's truly shameful.

Golden Lion didn't ask Whitebeard why he was so confident he could defeat Sirius.

Because this guy is Whitebeard.

The Golden Lion turned its head and gazed at the sea.

"I remember now, the weather was just like this when we set sail that day, and the scenery didn't seem to have changed much," he said with a smile. "At the time, we had no idea that that voyage would mark the end of an era."

"I have no interest in reminiscing about the past."

The Whitebeard sneered, "I'm just looking forward to the future!"

"Yes, what will the future be like?" the Golden Lion laughed. "It's something to look forward to!"

No one can predict what the future holds, but one thing is certain: the battle that will determine the future is about to begin here.
