Whitebeard Enraged Again! It Was Exposed!

Whitebeard was actually a person who knew how to weigh the pros and cons very well.

Roa understood this better than anyone else.

Kozuki Oden brother, Kozuki Oden, was killed by Kaido, and for eighteen years Whitebeard did not visit Wano Country even once.

He had known about this for a long time, but still remained inactive.

Even Ace wanted to avenge Kozuki Oden, but he was still stopped by him.

Was it because Whitebeard was afraid of Kaido?

That's impossible.

After Thatch was killed by Blackbeard, he forbade his crew from chasing Blackbeard. Surely they couldn't be afraid of Blackbeard, right?

All I can say is that Whitebeard was indeed a very soft-hearted parent.

Of course, the living are more important than family members who have died.

If Kozuki Oden and Thatch were captured, then Whitebeard would certainly mobilize all his forces to rescue them, just like in the Paramount War of the original manga.

Because they are still alive.

But he couldn't bring himself to risk the deaths of his children to avenge the dead.

While the current situation doesn't explicitly state who died, what happened at the Sphinx is a fact that cannot be changed.

Even Whitebeard couldn't bring himself to risk the destruction of his hometown just to vent his anger.

That's just the kind of person he is.

He certainly possessed an aura of dominance, yet he also appeared remarkably timid.

"This matter can end here!"

Whitebeard slammed his naginata heavily on the ground, his eyes fixed on Roa, who had already dispelled the Calamity Wushen. "But Roa, you must give me an explanation!"

"Newgate has already said so, Roa,"

Ochoku felt very proud, so he smiled and looked at Roa, "What do you say?"

"Alright, since that's the case,"

Roa shrugged indifferently. "I won't sell my weapons to the Sphinx anymore, okay?"

Then he emphasized again, "But the loan has to be repaid."

"You brat!"

Whitebeard's eyes instantly turned fierce again. "If you haven't had enough, I'm ready to keep you company!"

"Alright, Roa, do you really need that little bit of money?"

Ochoku generously said, "Just consider it giving me face, let's just forget about it."

"That is, Uncle Ochoku."

Roa felt that Ochoku gone to great lengths to accompany him, which was a great service, so he was willing to give him face. "Otherwise, I wouldn't agree to it with anyone else."

"Yes, that's right!"

Ochoku, who was not usually one to show his emotions, was beaming with joy at this moment.

There's no way around it; two of the four World's Strongest are giving him a lot of face now!

Yes, in Ochoku's mind, Roa is now undoubtedly the fourth strongest pirate in the world, after Roger, Shiki, and Newgate.

Neither he himself, nor Red, nor Kaido, Linlin, could compare to Roa in his current state.

"Alright, let's leave it at that!"

Ochoku, "Let's shake hands and make peace!"

"Shake hands?"

Whitebeard merely sneered, "Roa, if I find out you're still inciting the people at the Sphinx, I will absolutely not let you off."

"So I've already said it, there's no such thing."

Roa looked helpless.

"Snort."

Leaving behind a cold snort, the Whitebeard turned and left without hesitation.

Don't give yourself the chance to overcome all hardships and meet again with your brothers, to forget past grievances with a smile.

Well then, since Whitebeard also wants the feud to continue, then let's grant his wish.

Thus, the civil war among the Rocks Pirates' officers came to an end.

The Moby Dick sailed straight away from the island, billowing its sails into the distance amidst the surging waves.

On deck.

"Pops, is this really the end?"

Marco felt uneasy.

"Shouldn't this be the end of it?"

Vista said somewhat cautiously, "Even that unscrupulous guy Roa probably wouldn't dare to truly anger Pops, right?"

"Besides, the Sphinx is such a tiny place to him that it's not worth his attention at all."

It's not a worthwhile deal to completely offend the Whitebeard Pirates for such an insignificant place!

However, Whitebeard remained silent.

The man, who possessed the power to destroy the world, frowned, his eyes filled with unyielding sorrow.

For Vista's statement to hold true, there is one crucial premise: Roa is a normal person.

But Roa is not a normal person.

It was so abnormal that even Whitebeard didn't know what he would do next.

Damn it, why did it have to be this brat?!

On the shattered shore of the island, Roa and Ochoku stood side by side, watching the Moby Dick sail away.

"That's really exaggerated, Roa,"

Ochoku's belated praise, "I never imagined you'd be so audacious as to use Newgate's help to master Conqueror's Haki's Entanglement!"

And it even succeeded!

"Is this incredibly audacious?"

Roa was somewhat surprised.

Ochoku was taken aback.

Then I couldn't help but smile.

Yes, is it really that audacious of Roa to challenge Newgate with his power?

So, what are you planning to do next?

Ochoku asked with great interest, "Will you honestly fulfill your agreement with Newgate?"

The battle between Roa and Newgate was indeed over, but he didn't think it was over yet.

"Of course, a man's word is his bond!"

Roa nodded earnestly, "Back in the day, who on Beehive Island didn't know my name, Roa, the honest and reliable young man?"

Ochoku couldn't help but laugh again.

"If they won't sell the weapons, then so be it. It doesn't matter."

Roa said leisurely, "When you really want to kill someone, you can do it even with your fingernails and teeth."

Even if all of Whitebeard's conditions are met, so what?

Did he really think the Sphinx would calm him down?

Stop joking.

"Never underestimate humanity's determination to pursue happiness."

Roa sighed softly.

Pandora's box has been opened; closing it won't be so easy.

Humans are truly a very foolish species.

The more you want someone to change something, the more they might insist on sticking to it.

After all, the more ignorant and naive a person is, the more likely they are to rebel against authority.

"So, you're just going to watch like this?"

Ochoku was quite surprised; this was completely unlike Roa's usual style.

"It was enough to just look at it,"

Roa said in a helpless tone, "But since you put it that way, Uncle Ochoku, let's give Whitebeard some trouble."

"How about we make his relationship with the Sphinx public?"

In that case, there's indeed no need to sell weapons or stir up trouble.

Whitebeard, I kept my promise.

What does this have to do with me?

Ochoku, suddenly caught off guard by the blame, was taken aback, then couldn't help but click his tongue, "But, are you really not afraid that Newgate will come after you?"

Although the Whitebeard Pirates are considered a very mild-mannered pirate group, they generally don't go looking for trouble with anyone.

However, over the years, Newgate has accumulated quite a few enemies.

If his feelings for the Sphinx were truly exposed, it's hard to imagine what that country would suffer.

Whitebeard will go mad.

That's beyond doubt.

He wouldn't dare.

Roa gave a nonchalant reply.

Whitebeard already has so many children to take care of, and now he has to add Sphinx to the mix. Why is he risking his life?

"Ha ha ha ha."

Ochoku burst into laughter.

I just said that Roa was incredibly audacious, but I underestimated this kid.

"Whatever."

Ochoku shrugged. "That's all I can do. What you do next is beyond my control. It's your own fault for not getting along from the start."

That's what she said, but her lips were already practically curving into a wide smile.

He was really looking forward to it.

"Because Whitebeard is such a nasty person."

Roa spoke up, somewhat annoyed, "They clearly possess overwhelming power, yet they do nothing."

"Isn't this such a waste? He could have made the whole world tremble in fear!"

"..."

Ochoku was speechless.

Is this even human language?

Is this the reason I dislike Newgate?

In other words, Roa didn't seem to care about Newgate's hostility towards him from the beginning?

No, if it were Roa, he might even be hoping Newgate would do something because of his dislike for him.

Roa said expectantly, "After everything is revealed, something very interesting might happen."

To protect his homeland, will Whitebeard remain in Sphinx, using that country as his base?

Or perhaps, like in the future era of the Four Emperors, they'll leave behind a flag as a deterrent?

Either way, the show will get interesting.

At this stage, the Whitebeard Pirates' power is still very weak, and one flag is probably not enough to deter their enemies.

If he had remained at the Sphinx, and given Whitebeard's choice to help the king maintain the status quo, it wouldn't have been long before he experienced what it meant to be abandoned by everyone.

This is really something to look forward to!

What a terrible little brat!

After glancing at the expectant look on Roa's face, Ochoku sighed inwardly.

He had no desire to be enemies with Roa.

"Let's go, Uncle Ochoku, it's my turn to entertain you."

Roa turned around. "Feld, is the banquet ready?"

"Of course! Boss! Your favorite feast is ready too!"

Good!

The next day, newspapers reporting on the battle that had taken place on Kinyu Island were everywhere.

It started as a local newspaper in the New World, and then quickly gained worldwide coverage.

Soon everyone learned that two former officers of the Rocks Pirates had engaged in a fierce battle the day before.

The newspapers said that Whitebeard and Roa fought to a standstill, and their battle nearly destroyed half an island. They truly lived up to their reputation as great pirates with bounties of 3 billion.

Besides the fact that war broke out, another important piece of information is that the reason for the war was related to the Sphinx, Whitebeard's hometown.

It is said that Whitebeard cared a lot about his hometown and mistakenly believed that it had been destroyed by Roa, so he took action in anger.

Fortunately, the misunderstanding between the two was eventually resolved with Ochoku's mediation, and the former partners shook hands and made peace.

When the first newspaper began to circulate in the New World, the Five Kings Five Elders had already gathered again in Pangea Castle, Mary Geoise.

"Roa and Whitebeard have gone to war?"

"We've already sent someone to Kinyu Island to confirm, and it should be pretty much confirmed."

"So, that means Roa already possesses the power to fight Whitebeard?"

"More importantly, what exactly is his relationship with Whitebeard now? If they've already formed an alliance—"

"Send someone to the Sphinx immediately! We must find out exactly why they started this war!"

Almost at the same moment.

The Whitebeard Pirates, who were heading back towards the Sphinx, also bought a newspaper from the News Coo.

The moment they finished reading the newspaper, everyone's expression changed.

"Pops?"

Marco looked at Whitebeard with concern.

My unease has come true.

"That birth!!"

Whitebeard was instantly enraged.

The sea suddenly erupted into chaos, with wave after wave of massive waves surging and crashing.

"Roa!!"

Although there is no evidence whatsoever, it can only be Roa!

"Pops!"

Hanami Vista was furious. "Return to base?"

But.

Whitebeard paused for a moment.

"Return to the Sphinx at a faster pace."

That country is about to face a huge crisis!

A few days later, it was still Pangea Castle, and it was still the Five Elders.

The government's elite agents have already made a trip to the Sphinx, and after receiving their investigation results, the Five Elders have held yet another meeting.

"Is it because of the Sphinx rebellion? Whitebeard thinks Roa is behind it?"

"Whether Roa was stirring things up is unclear, but Whitebeard went to find the mastermind behind the weapons sales, and then Roa appeared."

"Roa said a long time ago that he was a weapons dealer, and now it seems he really wasn't lying!"

"In other words, the rebellions in most of the other countries in the New World were also his doing."

"Whether he instigated the rebellion is still uncertain, but he was definitely the one supplying the weapons!"

"Is it just the New World? Are the Flevance of the North Blue being supported by him? I couldn't figure out who had the guts and why before, but now it's clear. Don't forget his abilities. Stussy said that human suffering is the fuel for his evolution!"

"That's right! Looking at it this way, it's definitely him!"

"What a crazy brat! Is his ultimate goal to drag the whole world into this mess?"

"It's not just madness; without our knowledge, he has amassed immense power! He can easily shake numerous nations!"

"Let's expose this news and make him the target of everyone's criticism! Let the whole world help us find out what that guy is hiding!"

"Reconsider!"

"However, I believe we cannot reveal the true nature of Roa's abilities! Otherwise, how many people will be terrified by them?"

The Five Elders thought about it and agreed. The more fear and pain people felt, the more Roa would thrive, creating a negative cycle.

So very quickly.

Roa also saw the newspaper.

Wow, I've been exposed too!

The newspaper headline was,

The most evil in history!
