The Whitebeard Pirates' Great Crisis
"To be honest, I still can't figure out what Imu is thinking."
Although Dragon held cutlery in his hand, he hadn't put any food in his mouth for a long time. He frowned, "He hasn't been seen at sea since that day."
"It's as if he never existed in the first place, and that day was just our illusion."
"I see?"
Sirius was also somewhat surprised.
So Imu only showed up once that day, then went back to sleep and did nothing?
I really can't figure out what that guy is thinking.
Now that we're already out, can't we eliminate all potential problems before going back?
Could it be that Imu is actually a lazy dog?
"So, Sirius, what are you planning to do next?" Dragon asked.
Let's go to Laugh Tale first.
"That place must hold Imu's secrets," Sirius.
Know yourself and know your enemy, and you will never be defeated. If you want to fight Imu, you must first find out what kind of guy he is.
"So, does that mean we're going to go find Whitebeard next?" Dragon asked.
Sirius nodded slightly. "That will require your help, Dragon."
"Leave it to us."
"I'm very confident, "Dragon said.
The Revolutionary Army today is different from what it was four years ago.
Since Wano Country and Tesoro began cooperating, the Revolutionary Army's power has greatly expanded.
Their infiltration covers a much wider area than in the past.
Then Dragon added, "However, since four years ago, the Whitebeard Pirates have become very secretive about their movements, so it may take some time."
"It doesn't matter."
Sirius smiled and said, "This is a good time to visit some old friends."
"Good."
Dragon nodded slightly, then hesitated before asking, "Sirius, are you sure you're ready? We've already witnessed firsthand just how powerful Imu is!"
The power Imu displayed that day was overwhelming; even the combined strength of everyone was insufficient to defeat him, leaving Dragon with severe psychological trauma.
In just four years, has Sirius truly acquired the power to fight that monster?
Although he trusted Sirius, he still had some concerns.
"Shanks said that it will take about two more years for the Uranus to fully mature. Perhaps we can wait a little longer?"
"That's really something, I feel underestimated. We've made tremendous progress in these four years!"
Sirius laughed and said, "If you don't believe me, then come and try it, Dragon!"
"Oh?"
Dragon became interested. "Then let me see just how powerful the man who took the title of the Strongest in the World four years ago has become!"
"It shouldn't disappoint you."
The world was unaware that the Sirius Pirates had already returned to the Blue Sea.
The world was then stunned speechless by another piece of news.
The day after Sirius and his friends arrived in Baldo, a news report from the World Economic Journal shook the entire ocean.
The newspaper headlines for that day were as follows.
The Complete End of the Old Era
Everyone who saw the newspaper was already shocked by the headline alone, and they were even more stunned after reading the full article.
The newspaper only reported one thing: the defeat of the Whitebeard Pirates.
Rewind to a few days earlier, in a sea area of New World, where a large ship was quietly sailing on the surface of the sea.
On this day, the Whitebeard Pirates, as always, sailed through the New World aboard the Moby Dick.
Although the government has greatly intensified its manhunt for them over the past four years, their lives have actually remained largely unchanged.
After all, they didn't have a fixed place to live and had always been wandering the sea. It was no easy task for the government to find their whereabouts in the chaotic New World.
On the deck of the large ship, members of the Whitebeard Pirates gathered in twos and threes, chatting and laughing.
Their voyage had no particular purpose; in fact, sailing with their families was their most important objective.
"Hey, Teach! Show us your newfound abilities again!"
Suddenly someone shouted loudly.
"Hahaha! Hasn't this been demonstrated many times already?"
A guy missing a few front teeth grinned sheepishly, scratching the back of his head and saying somewhat embarrassedly, "You guys aren't tired of seeing it yet? It's not like it's some amazing ability."
"You've definitely been holding back! It's not like we haven't found Devil Fruit before, but you've never been this proactive!"
"That's right! For something to make you so eager, it must be a very extraordinary Devil Fruit, right!"
During a recent voyage, the Whitebeard Pirates unexpectedly obtained a Devil Fruit.
The Whitebeard Pirates' rule was that whoever found the loot kept it.
However, after seeing the Devil Fruit, Teach insisted that he wanted it and would give anything to get it.
Based on the principle that everyone is family, the pirate who received the fruit did not refuse it. He symbolically asked Teach for some Beli and then gave him the fruit.
Strangely, this fruit doesn't seem to have much power; it can only release some black mist, which swallows whatever is covered by the black mist.
"Alright, you guys, stop making things difficult for Teach."
Marco, sitting leisurely on the ship's railing not far away, said, "Secrets are allowed even among family members."
The pirates then quieted down.
Teach chuckled, his eyes full of good-natured amusement, then suddenly shouted, "Dad, are we just going to keep sailing like this and do nothing?"
The Whitebeard, seated on a large deckchair in the middle of the deck, didn't even look up, just chuckled and said, "What's wrong, Teach? Are you getting excited about your new abilities?"
"Kuralalalala! Being able to sail with my family is enough!"
"Hahaha! No wonder he's Daddy!" Teach laughed heartily, but the corners of his mouth were curled up a little too high, easily giving off a mocking feeling. "He always values us family above all else!"
"Because he's my dad!"
Marco, completely oblivious to anything amiss, simply smiled and echoed her sentiments.
Then.
"Ship sighted ahead!"
The lookout on the mast suddenly shouted, "It's a naval warship!!"
"This--this is--"
His voice suddenly became shrill.
"What's wrong?"
Marco looked up and shouted, "Is there something on the warship?"
His response was a near-heart-wrenching scream.
"It's the Three Admirals!! Akainu, Kizaru, Aokiji, all three Marine Admiral are on the ship!!"
In an instant, everyone's expression turned serious.
