"Oh?"
Upon hearing Kaya's words, Gawain, intrigued, released an Observation Haki, which he then directed towards the distant sea.
A moment later, the images of the three Whitebeard men appeared in his mind.
The three of them were chatting, and the person they were talking about was themselves.
Interesting. Is this... a customary practice before war, the final conversation between those in power?
Thinking this, Gawain nodded slightly.
"I understand, Kaya, I'll go see them right away."
"Since they've already come knocking on my door, I can't let them look down on me, right?"
As he spoke, Gawain patted Kaya on the shoulder and handed over the remaining tasks to her.
After Kaya memorized all the orders, Gawain prepared to set off in the direction of Whitebeard.
At this moment, countless soldiers had already spotted Whitebeard and his companions approaching from the dock at the stronghold.
Bullet and Aramaki didn't care at all; their battle wouldn't end for at least several hours.
In their eyes, Whitebeard and the others were nothing more than ordinary people of the same level, or perhaps slightly stronger than them.
Today is not destined to be the start of a life-or-death battle. If there's no fighting, neither of them will bother getting involved in Whitebeard's affairs.
Although the two of them didn't care, others did.
Noticing Gawain's footsteps as he walked away into the distance, Gion suddenly appeared beside Gawain and grabbed Gawain hand.
"Grown ups!"
Gion said worriedly.
"Please be sure to pay attention to your safety. If the three of them choose to launch a surprise attack, even you may not be able to return!"
Although... I know they might not do that, your position is different. We need your guidance, not your risk-taking!
"I know, darling."
Hearing Gion's words, Gawain gently ruffled Gion's hair.
"I know those three guys are among the strongest people in the world. If they team up, I wouldn't stand a chance against them now."
At most, I can only use my newly learned skills to briefly hold my own against them.
However, precisely because of their identities, I was perfectly safe.
Because at least in the war to come, they will have a position and status similar to mine.
This identity meant that they could not suddenly start the war with a surprise attack!
What's more, haha, they're Whitebeard, Red-Haired Shanks, and Big Mom!
No one on this vast sea is more heroic than them!
Even if they are destined to be enemies to the death, it does not diminish my appreciation for their personal strength and spirit.
So don't worry!
At this point, Gawain gently embraced Gion, his hand lightly stroking Gion back.
Feeling Gawain's warmth, Gion remained quiet for a moment before resolutely leaving his Gawain.
Gion released Gawain and waved to Mihawk.
"I'll be right back."
As soon as he finished speaking, Gawain transformed into lightning and vanished completely from the dock.
Meanwhile, on a small boat in the distance.
The three emperors, who were in the middle of a conversation, suddenly stopped talking.
Right before their eyes, the lightning gradually solidified into the shape of Gawain.
After landing, Gawain nodded to the three of them, then waved with a smile.
"Long time no see, Newgate, Shanks, and Linlin."
"Gula la la, long time no see, kid!"
Whitebeard laughed heartily and waved his hand.
"It has indeed been a long time, and you seem to have an even stronger aura now!"
Shanks frowned and glanced at Gawain with a puzzled look.
In that very instant, he observed countless futures related to Gawain.
In the ultimate future that he could observe and sense, he made countless moves against Gawain at this moment.
But...
Gawain's response left him somewhat bewildered!
Gawain's main skills are swordsmanship and the Rumble-Rumble Fruit, so what's this black hole that suddenly appeared?
And that damn Top Transformed Buddha?
Isn't that the power of the Logia Woods-Woods Fruit?
What is ninjutsu?
What is chakra?
Why is Gawain able to see all of his own weaknesses?
What is Transparent World?
Gawain didn't cultivate the ability to Future Sight either, did he?
His Observation Haki and Armament Haki haven't reached their highest levels yet, have they?
But how exactly did Gawain manage to fight to a draw with himself?
Although that draw only lasted ten seconds, he was Shanks whose strength had caught up with Captain Roger!
When Kaido met Gawain last time, he couldn't even withstand three moves from Gawain after Kaido Future Sight.
So now, how come this guy is suddenly so incredibly strong that I can't see through him???
Filled with countless questions, Shanks gave Gawain a deep look.
This guy definitely has other secrets!
That secret isn't some simple little secret about eating multiple Devil Fruit at the same time.
Shanks instinctively felt that if Gawain's hidden secret were exposed, even Shanks's worldview would be shaken!
Just as Shanks, the Big Mom grinned, sticking out her tongue, and said to Gawain.
"Haha, Gawain, it's great to see you again!"
Mom, what do you think of my previous suggestion? Let's have a baby together!
Mom, I really want a Celestial Dragon child to complete the bloodline of my children!
And Mom, I get pregnant very easily. After just one time, Mom can bring your seed home to recuperate.
How about we give Mom some face?
If you give your mother one child, she will immediately withdraw from the battle with her children.
What does the victory or defeat of pirates have to do with Mom!
My mother is the Emperors of the Sea, a pirate with a fixed territory.
Pirates like Mom are no longer pirates, but rather the managers and rulers of countless islands in the New World!
As long as she has one child, her mother doesn't care whether the pirates disappear or not.
So what if the pirates are gone? At most, Mom will just change her name and continue ruling our territory!
So, hahaha, come and make a baby with Mommy!
"Well..."
"Dry!"
"Damn it!"
Before Gawain could respond to Big Mom's words, Whitebeard and Shanks were already so angry that their beards stood up.
Shanks is alright; he just has stubble, so it doesn't make much difference whether he stands up straight or not.
But Whitebeard...
Well, his crescent-shaped mustache has somehow turned into a V-shaped mustache.
While angry, Shanks and Newgate both reached out their hands.
"Linlin, you son of a bitch!"
The Whitebeard grabbed Linlin's arm.
Shanks then stepped on the large toes.
"Don't make pointless assumptions, Big Mom!"
And just like that, the Big Mom, whose eyes were filled with Gawain, was directly subdued by Whitebeard and Red-Haired Shanks.
Seeing the three emperors entangled in their dilemma, Gawain narrowed his eyes with amusement.
"Tsk tsk."
He couldn't help but tease him.
"Look at the three of you: one has a heart condition, one is mentally ill, and the other is missing a hand."
You three leaders of Yalta look like you're crippled beyond recognition.
I even think that you guys have more than just physical problems; you guys have some psychological issues too!
Newgate, and Shanks.
It's one thing for this mentally ill Big Mom to have a child with me; let her think whatever she wants.
But the way you two are behaving now is an insult to me!
You actually thought I'd give birth Big Mom?!
At this point, Gawain casually picked up a wine bowl and smashed it on the ground.
"Don't take jokes seriously, it'll be very embarrassing!"
Guys, I've imagined our meeting countless times, and I thought it would be more formal and legendary than it is now.
But now...
How do you want our men to perceive us?!
After saying that, Gawain slapped his head in frustration.
In the distance, even Bullet and Aramaki had a brief truce. They stood in the sky, arms around each other, looking at this place with expressions of surprise (°Д°).
As for Gion and the other girls...
Gion and Hancock were about to make their move; they were rolling up their sleeves and cursing.
As for the pirates...
Although they were a little far away, both the Imperial Vice-President and the main combatants were present.
They all heard the previous conversation.
Then...
The members of the Red-Haired Pirates and the Whitebeard Pirates all looked at the helpless Big Mom Pirates members with eyes that seemed to say, "You're idiots!"
Snap!
Katakuri covered his forehead in frustration and sighed deeply.
Slap! Slap!
One after another, Cracker and the others helplessly slapped their foreheads.
Smoothie didn't slap her forehead; instead, she sat on the sofa with her Erlang crossed, propping her cheek with her right hand and said...
"No matter what, Mom's judgment is still trustworthy."
What a pity! Even if he wasn't Celestial Dragon, after my mother took a liking to him, I didn't have much of a chance or motivation to make a move.
"You should think about how to survive first!"
Katakuri interrupted Smoothie, clearly annoyed.
The Big Mom Pirates have already embarrassed themselves enough; Smoothie doesn't need to make them any more humiliating!
He continued, scolding her.
"Gawain is our enemy. When facing an enemy, we should consider life and death, victory and defeat!"
Don't be the kind of woman who only has eyes for men. Compared to your identity as a woman, you and Mom are the pillars of our pirate crew!
You need to act more mature!
"Tch~."
Smoothie shook her head dismissively at Katakuri's reprimand.
"How interesting, what do women want if they don't want men?"
Just like men, oh, don't you want women?
Even though the Whitebeard is in his seventies or eighties, there are still so many women on the ship wearing leopard-print stockings and leather skirts.
If an old man is like this, then you men are no better.
What? You're allowed to do it, but we're not allowed to even think about it?
Snap!
In the distance, after hearing Smoothie's words.
Marco slapped his forehead in frustration.
Pops, your fetish can no longer be hidden...
Just as Marco was feeling frustrated, Teach looked up in annoyance and yelled a curse.
"Tsk tsk, you little bitch, what right do you have to comment on my Pops!"
No matter what perspective you take when evaluating others, you should at least ensure that you are better than the person being evaluated to be more convincing!
Such frivolous remarks from you, falling into the mouth of trash like you who is a hundred thousand times weaker than your Pops, are nothing more than the idle slander of a weakling!
"Are you planning to have me take your head in Pops's place before the final battle?"
"Ha, Teach, do you think I'm afraid of you?"
If Marco had said this, I could barely have listened to it.
As for you, haha!
A piece of trash who barely manages to get ahead by relying on his Pops to find him excellent Devil Fruit!
Do you really think that just because your nickname is Blackbeard, you're qualified to inherit everything from Whitebeard?
Shut up!
"You...!"
"What do you mean, 'you'?!"
"Damn it, darkness..."
"Alright!"
"It's ready!!!"
Just as Teach was about to lose control, Marco and Katakuri quickly grabbed their brothers and sisters.
Before they could even say anything...
Amidst countless pirates, two elderly men lazily stepped out of the crowd and began to berate them in a loud and unrestrained manner.
"These younger generations nowadays, humph, they're all so lazy!"
"Yes, things aren't what they used to be, but that's fine too. Let's hope that none of what happened back then will ever happen again!"
As soon as they finished speaking, the two old men casually sat down on the nearby sofa.
Just as they sat down, someone around them finally recognized them.
"That... that is...?!?"
"It's Mr. Ochoku!"
"Mr. Ochoku of Beehive Island, a direct subordinate of the Dark King Rocks, is now a legendary pirate who holds the title of Uncrowned Emperor!"
"Even Mr. Ochoku has come!"
"The battles ahead are getting even more exciting!"
"The other one is Rowan!"
"That's right, it is indeed Rowan, he was a member of the crew of the Pirate King Roger!"
"Even a former crew member of the Pirate King Roger, who had long since retired, has come here!"
"My God, this is a living, breathing pirate legend!"
"Wait, there are more than just the two of them!"
"Yes, there are others too. I saw Mr. Elio!!!"
"Mr. Elio is here too! He was the navigator of the Pirate King Roger!!!"
"My God, there are more and more legends!"
"Yes, there are more and more of them!"
"Hey, why can't any of you see me? Don't you know I'm a legendary pirate from the Rocks Pirates? Are you all blind?!"
Just as everyone was discussing Ochoku, Rowan, and Elio...
A sharp, withered voice suddenly came from the corner.
As the sound appeared, an enormous figure gradually emerged from the crowd.
As the little giant moved steadily, the sharp voice continued to emanate from its shoulder.
"Damn it, I, Miss Bakkin, am not only a member of the Rocks crew, but also the wife of Whitebeard Newgate!"
Weevil, I've always told you, you're Whitebeard's son!
Today, I will personally prove your identity to Whitebeard!!!
At this point, Miss Bakkin gave Weevil a hard stomp on the shoulder.
"No one knows your identity better than Whitebeard. After today, the Whitebeard Pirates will be yours!"
You are Newgate's only, true heir!
Others seem to include Marco, or Jozu, and that weird-looking black ball, Teach.
They are all unworthy, utterly unworthy!!!
"Well..."
Upon hearing Miss Bakkin's words, Marco and Jozu suddenly slapped their foreheads.
This is unbelievable...
Pops, what are you still doing, hanging out with Red-Haired Shanks and Gawain?!
Don't you know you're in trouble?
