"Dad, Demon Pirates has taken the initiative to start a war with Kaido again."
Marco the Phoenix casually threw the newspaper he just bought from News Coo to Whitebeard, with a hint of disappointment in his tone.
After all, he originally planned to contact Allen privately to see if he could borrow a few people from the other party to deal with the upcoming full-scale war with the navy.
But now, this possibility has obviously been completely blocked.
"Hmph! That brat Allen has become more and more bold in recent times. Not only did he force World Government and the navy to give in in the first half of Grand Line, but he also seemed to want to unify the entire New World." Edward Newgate glanced at the contents of the newspaper and sighed.
Because he understands that as Allen and Demon Pirates become more and more powerful, this era that should belong to him is slowly being replaced by the other party.
Just like when Pirate King Roger was executed, he took advantage of the situation and became the strongest person standing at the top of the era.
To say that there is no sense of loss and unwillingness would be absolutely false.
But Whitebeard had fought against Allen before, and knew that it was a terrifying humanoid monster that could recover instantly even if its chest and heart were shattered.
Coupled with the plurality of Devil Fruit Ability, and the alchemy technique that can brew various incredible potions and forge magic equipment, it is only a matter of time before he replaces himself as the strongest.
Compared to being replaced by juniors like Kaido, Charlotte Linlin, and Shanks, from an emotional perspective, he is undoubtedly more willing to accept being replaced by Allen.
It's like facing failure when playing a competitive game. Everyone hopes that the opponent who beats them will be the champion.
"Dad, do you think Demon Pirates can completely defeat Beasts Pirates this time and bring Wano Country under his control?" Marco asked in an uncertain tone.
Edward Newgate raised his head, drank the wine under the quilt, and answered with a laugh, "Hahahaha! Isn't it obvious! As long as that brat is willing, there is no power in the world that can stop him from getting what he wants."
"Not even you?" Diamond Jozu's eyes widened in surprise.
"Maybe... I am no longer his opponent."
Whitebeard didn't mean to be brave this time, and directly expressed the truest feeling in his heart.
Although he had become ten years younger under the influence of the magic potion and his entire body was in peak condition, he could only barely maintain it.
As time goes by, not only will it not be able to continue to become stronger like Allen, but it will continue to decline as always.
If Tremor-Tremor Fruit hadn't given him unparalleled destructive power, I'm afraid it would have been quite difficult to deal with Kaido, which has super strong defense and recovery power.
And Kaido cannot even pose any substantial threat to Allen.
"Hey! Dad, are you exaggerating?" Another member of Whitebeard Pirates shouted angrily.
Not only him, but many people around him also started to boo.
No matter what, in the eyes of these sons, their father will always be the strongest.
"Okay! Stop arguing! I am Whitebeard! As long as I am still alive and have not been defeated, I will still bear the title of the strongest." Edward Newgate interrupted the quarrel of these little guys with a wave of his hand.
Not only that, he also turned around and asked Marco on his right, "How is our fleet gathering?"
"Forty-three Pirate Crew, only three are missing from them all. According to the latest news, they should still have two days to go." Phoenix glanced at the densely packed ships docked on the sea and gave the answer with a smile.
That's right!
This is the powerful foundation of Whitebeard Pirates Megatron New World!
In addition to the more than ten directly affiliated teams, they also have forty-three vassal Pirate Crew. The captain of each Pirate Crew is an Great Pirate with a bounty of over 100 million, and his strength has basically reached a level that can compete with the navy's Vice Admiral.
Although on weekdays, the forty-three Pirate Crew are active independently.
But when they heard "Dad's" summons, they immediately gathered at the location of Moby Dick without exception.
Even if Edward Newgate is willing, he can have a subversive impact on the existing world order at any time.
This is one of the reasons why World Government and the Navy are willing to launch Summit War at all costs.
Whitebeard's power is already too great...
"Hahahaha! You are indeed my good son! It seems that everyone is in good spirits." Whitebeard patted the table and laughed happily.
"Hehe! After all, this is an attack on Marine Headquarters! Rescue Ace! As a family, how can we be absent." Diamond Jozu clenched his fists loudly.
"That's right! Can we let that guy Allen occupy the front page of the newspaper all day long?" Vista teased in a half-joking tone.
"Agree! As long as Marineford is defeated! Interrupt the navy's execution of Ace! Our Whitebeard Pirates's reputation will definitely resound across the sea again!" 6th Division captain Bratmanck raised his hands and shouted excitedly.
At the same time, far away in Marine Headquarters's conference room, Marshal Sengoku placed a copy of the intelligence that had just been sent on the table and glanced at the several Seven Warlords present with his sharp eyes.
After more than ten seconds, he said, "The latest news! Whitebeard Pirates's fleet has been assembled! It won't be long before they set sail and advance towards Marineford. I don't need to say more about the importance of this battle. I believe you all can understand it."
"Hahahaha! It seems that daddy is going to be serious this time! Just thinking about it makes people look forward to it!" Blackbeard Teach grinned wildly and laughed wildly.
Because he can't wait to see Whitebeard Pirates and the navy fight to the death, and then he can take advantage of the chaos to profit from it.
"Is Whitebeard the strongest in the world? Just in time to see it!" A strange light flashed in Doflamingo's eyes.
But under the cover of sunglasses, others around him didn't notice this.
Compared to the two ostentatious Seven Warlords above, Revolutionary Army's undercover agent, Bartholomew Bear, seems much quieter.
On the one hand, his body has undergone horrific transformations, so his face has lost the ability to express emotions.
On the other hand, his own character was originally taciturn, so he just listened from beginning to end and never expressed any opinions.
As for Empress Boya Hancock, he is still on the way from New World, and it is estimated that it will take some time to arrive at Marine Headquarters.
"Here! This is the defense area that each of you is responsible for! Remember, this battle can only succeed and cannot fail. If I find that anyone is not working hard, or is secretly hiding his strength and causing the front to collapse, then be prepared to be liquidated afterwards."
After saying these words full of warning and threat, Marshal Sengoku immediately turned around and left.
He understood that it was absolutely impossible for One Piece and Whitebeard, who had their own ulterior motives, to fight to the death, so he never gave the other party the slightest bit of trust from the beginning to the end, only treating them as cannon fodder to contain and consume.
A truly tough battle will require the best efforts of the Navy's two remaining generals and his old comrade who is always unwilling to be promoted.
Especially when Aokiji rebelled, Garp became the only trump card that could turn things around at a critical moment.
But the question is, can this old guy really be cruel enough to watch the grandson he raised with his own hands being publicly executed?
Sengoku is conservative about this.
Because he understands Garp and understands that the other person is a very emotional person, otherwise he would not have a complicated relationship with a person like Pirate King Roger during the hunt, which is both an enemy and a friend.
In addition, Monkey D.Luffy, whose bounty is rising rapidly, is also a headache.
Sengoku can't understand at all why his son and grandson, without exception, have become revolutionaries and One Piece when his old friend is obviously a staunch navy man.
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but sigh slightly, "Oh - I hope Garp can keep his promise this time."
"What, are you worried about Garp?" Crane Vice Admiral raised his head and asked.
"I can't help but worry. By the way, what has he been doing in the past few days?" Sengoku gently rubbed his eyebrows.
"What else can be done. Not long ago, he went to Impel Down to meet with Ace. After he came back, he kept himself in the office and didn't talk to anyone at all. If nothing else, he should have made a decision." He shrugged helplessly.
"I hope so! After all, First Shinobi World War, we must not lose, otherwise not only the navy will be severely damaged, but also the world order will be subverted." Sengoku clenched his fists, his tone full of determination and determination.
