Bakin Stussy Brings Edward Weevil into the Whitebeard Pirates!
The New World, near the waters off Archino Island.
At this moment Whitebeard Pirates' large fleet is sailing here.
It must be said that the Whitebeard Pirates' fleet is quite large. Apart from their flagship Moby Dick and three escort ships of the same type, their pirate ships are basically not as large as the Marines's standard warships.
However, their sheer number was overwhelming. The Whitebeard Pirates had sixteen captains under their command. Although these captains usually stayed on the Moby Dick, they would occasionally go out on their own and each had their own subordinates. The fleet composed of these sixteen captains consisted of more than ten pirate warships.
In addition, there are more than 30 independent pirate captains under Whitebeard's command, such as Ice Witch and Giant Vortex Spider. Some of these people have one ship, and some have several ships. They have all been brought out to fight this final battle.
The entire Whitebeard Pirates heading to Archino Island at this time consisted of nearly seventy warships!
When the pirate fleet arrived near the waters of Archino Island, the Moby Dick had already begun to slow down.
As if it had all been planned in advance, the thirty pirate warships at the stern of the fleet immediately lowered their sails and anchored, stopping in this area and ceasing their advance.
On the Moby Dick, Newgate watched this scene and quietly instructed Yu: "The people from the tail fleet, wait here for backup..."
As Newgate spoke, a complex look flashed in his eyes. The odds of winning this battle were not high. The Marines had laid a trap, just waiting for him to step into it.
But since things had come to this point, he had no choice but to bite the bullet and take this path.
Regardless of victory or defeat, he wanted to leave the Whitebeard Pirates with one last hope: a way to retreat. This tail fleet was there to provide support. No matter the outcome of the battle, they would inevitably have to leave Archino Island. The Marines would not allow them to leave, and a support force would be needed then.
The support personnel on the stern warship were not fully loaded; as long as they could control the warship, that was enough.
The remaining combatants will be deployed in the head fleet to fight the Marines together. Since the Whitebeard Pirates are not divided too much, and with the new recruits they have recently added, they can still deploy more than 10,000 pirates to the battlefield!
Just as the Whitebeard Pirates were splitting up here, Marco, standing on the mast's watchtower, suddenly noticed something. "Dad, a ship is coming with our Whitebeard Pirates' flag, but it's definitely not one of ours. Should we shoot it down?"
Newgate paused for a moment. Surely the Marines wouldn't use such a foolish method to get close to him?
After a moment's thought, Newgate quickly replied, "No need. Send that ship over. I want to see who dares to casually use my name..."
Before long, the pirate ship flying the flag of the Whitebeard Pirates arrived at the side of the Moby Dick.
Standing on the deck, looking down, Newgate could already see the ship's silhouette clearly.
He frowned slightly, somewhat puzzled... because the person approaching was none other than his former companion on the Rocks ship, and also his rumored secret lover on the high seas... Bakin Stussy, and a man who looked stout and covered in scars... except for his crescent-shaped beard, which was very similar to his own.
"Newgate!" Bakin Stussy shouted in a shrill voice, "Hurry up and lower the ladder so we can get on!?"
Newgate looked at the two men, then waved his hand and said, "Lower the ladder and let them come up!"
Soon, Bakin Stussy boarded the Moby Dick with her beloved son, Edward Weevil.
Before Newgate could even speak, Weevil, his face streaked with tears, rushed to Newgate's side, shouting, "Father!!!"
Newgate?
Even though he'd said it many times, he still wanted to emphasize it again: although rumors circulated at sea that Bakin Stussy was his secret lover, he actually had no real intimate relationship with this woman, let alone have a child with her!
How did a son suddenly appear out of nowhere?
And Mingming felt very awkward, but why was that guy's beard so bushy?
Did I really get that drunk on Rocks' ship? So drunk that I didn't even know I'd fathered a child with Bakin?
Newgate ignored Weevil and instead frowned at Bakin Stussy, saying, "Bakin, what are you doing here?"
"Of course I'm here to lend you a hand!" Bakin Stussy said without hesitation.
Just then, Marco climbed down from the mast and went to Newgate's side, whispering, "Dad, since the beginning of this year, various forces, including the Dark World, the CP Agency, the Marines, and the Big Mom Pirates, have been searching for Bakin and the others..."
"Was it done by Ortolan?" Newgate immediately thought of this and asked.
After all, in this New World, the only person who can mobilize major forces such as the Dark World, the CP Agency, the Marines, and the Big Mom Pirates is Ortolan!
"It should be him. I don't know how Bakin and the others offended Ortolan, but it seems like Ortolan wants to kill them. In the Dark Realm, bounties are offered regardless of whether someone is dead or alive. As long as you have a head, you can claim the reward," Marco nodded.
Newgate immediately understood what Bakin Stussy was doing.
In the entire New World, no one dares to risk offending Ortolan by offering shelter to Bakin Stussy. The Dark World won't, nor will Kaido or Charlotte Linlin. Looking across the entire New World, the only one capable of protecting Bakin and her companions Whitebeard Pirates.
Since the Whitebeard Pirates have already started a war with the New World Marines led by Ortolan, and are now enemies, they naturally don't care whether or not they offend Ortolan.
However, Bakin could also sense that the Whitebeard Pirates had little chance of winning against the Marines this time. If Newgate were to be defeated and die here, there would be no place for her in the entire New World.
It could even be said that with Ortolan's resounding victory over Wei, there was no way for Bakin Stussy to survive in the entire gaming world!
To this day, Bakin Stussy still doesn't know what she did to offend this big shot in the New World, but she has no other choice now. The best way is to take a gamble and help the Whitebeard Pirates defeat the Marines. In this way, not only will the crisis be resolved, but she can also officially join the Whitebeard Pirates by doing this "timely help".
Once she gains Newgate's approval, Weevil will naturally become his son. Then, a hundred years after the Whitebeard, with Weevil's formidable strength and her guidance, wouldn't this Great Pirate crew that dominates the New World be hers for the taking?
Take a gamble; if you lose, you're headed for certain destruction, but if you win, you'll be showered with immense wealth!
Although Charlotte Linlin looked down on Bakin Stussy, calling her a useless woman, Bakin Stussy was, after all, a ruthless woman who had come from the Rocks ship, and when it came to this kind of life-or-death situation, she did have that kind of courage!
"Although you've always refused to admit it, Newgate, Weevil does indeed have your blood flowing through his veins. Look at his appearance, how similar he is to you? And look how strong he is! I can tell you for sure that Weevil is definitely more powerful than any of your captains, and he will certainly be able to help you in this war!" Bakin Stussy said, gesturing wildly and speaking in an exaggerated tone.
Newgate had no time to argue with her about Weevil's bloodline. After giving Bakin a few deep looks, he finally said, "Set sail and continue to Archino Island!"
As Newgate's orders were relayed, the Whitebeard Pirates' fleet sprang into action once more.
The fact that he didn't kick Bakin Stussy and the others off the ship already meant that he agreed to join forces with this woman.
That's right. At this moment, the distance was very close. As a top expert, Newgate did sense some aura from Weevil, a very powerful aura!
Regardless of how powerful he really is, or whether he is as strong as Bakin claims, stronger than the captains under his command, he is qualified as a fighting force.
Bring him along, and you'll have an extra force against the Marines!
Now that things have come to this point, Newgate naturally has no reason to refuse!
