Ace rolled his Byakugan in anger at his father's words. What kind of father is this? He wouldn't even eat a dog!

Is the Mera Mera no Mi that lowly?

It's a natural Devil Fruit at the basic elemental level, why are you looking down on people like that!

However, compared to his father's reawakening, this minor matter was ultimately put aside by Ace.

It's infuriating, but at least he's not dead anymore!

Apart from Ace, the others stared in disbelief at the four who had just woken up.

If it's about technology, they might be able to understand.

But this scene doesn't look like technology at all, does it?

Is this metaphysics?

Damn it, the dead are coming back to life, huh?!

Rayleigh stared in astonishment for a long time, then said to Gawain in disbelief.

"So, you wanted their corpses for this?"

Although they still have cracks on their bodies and faces, they look no different from resurrected!

"Gurara, don't worry, old Rayleigh!"

This is just the beginning; Gawain will truly revive us next!

Right, Gawain? I'm already looking forward to it!

How are my sons doing now that I'm gone?

I really want to see them!

Whitebeard responded to Rayleigh's words with a hearty laugh, then looked at Gawain expectantly.

Beside him, the Big Mom patted her arm with a smile and said with a grin.

"I've actually become young again! With this body, I can have even more children!"

And, haha, my slim mom is back!

Whitebeard, let's have a child this time to make up for the regrets of the past!

And Roger too, hahaha!

Be my man, let's have a child together!

Our child is absolutely the most talented kid in the world for decades to come!

"No, absolutely not!"

Roger quickly shook his head.

"Although I don't know exactly what happened, I really want to go back to the world."

This isn't an opportunity to have a baby, and besides, I already have a child. Right now, all I want is to beg the person who resurrected my father to resurrect my son and his mother too!

Since Ace ate the Mera Mera no Mi, he has no hope of overthrowing Imu in this lifetime. Apart from the Nika Fruit, all the other Devil Fruit are just food for that guy!

I still have to keep searching for Nika Fruit, haha!

Speaking of which, Rayleigh, shouldn't you remember what we saw back then?

Looking back, I think I missed an entire era, but now it seems that the era might be waiting for my return!

We can continue our voyages, carry on the work we started back then, continue to overthrow the World Government, and then..."

"Cough cough!"

Suddenly, Rayleigh coughed twice, interrupting Roger.

Then, he patted Roger on the shoulder and laughed.

"Roger, you old man, stop thinking about those things."

Times have changed. Look at the clothes I'm wearing now. I'm no longer a pirate, and I have no intention of overthrowing any World Government anymore.

"Holy crap?!"

Hearing Rayleigh say that, Roger remembered to check Rayleigh's clothes.

When he saw Rayleigh's smart German military uniform, his eyes widened.

"Yeah, what are you dressed like that for? You're even wearing a cape, you look like a sailor!"

And you actually don't want to overthrow the World Government anymore?

How is that possible?

This is impossible!!!

"Hahaha, I am now the World Government! Do you want me to overthrow myself?"

Rayleigh laughed and said to Roger, then raised his Rayleigh and patted Roger on the shoulder, gesturing for him to look in another direction.

Roger looked over in confusion and immediately saw Garp with a full head of white hair.

"Oh, it's Garp! You've gotten so old, Jia Hui!"

Hahaha, so much time has passed! The ocean has probably become unrecognizable.

Damn it, I saw a bunch of pirates and marines mixed together. Those three over there aren't they the new generation of marine brats, are they? They're all monkeys and chickens, and dogs too..."

"Cough cough!!!"

Akainu coughed twice, indicating that he didn't like Roger's words.

At the same time, Garp walked up to Roger with a smile, looking down at Roger.

After staring at each other for a long time, Garp raised his hand and gave Roger a tight hug.

After releasing his opponent, Garp chuckled.

"Old rival, it's great to see you again! I can't wait to show you how well we've gotten!"

Look at this! How well my group has done! There are almost no nobles left in the world now. Those damned nobles have all been wiped out by my disciples!

As for who my disciple is, hahaha, Gawain's Seimei Kikan by me. At least I taught him a lot with my fists. You have to admit that!

Besides, it's time for you, the old Pirate King, to step down. There will soon be no pirates left on the high seas!

Don't glare at me, the Celestial Dragon' curriculum is about to disappear as well as the pirates!

The next generation of this ocean will be far, far cleaner than we were back then!

At times like these, don't let children dream of going out to sea to become thieves!

At this point, Garp raised his fist and punched Roger hard in the stomach.

"Puff!"

Roger exhaled, then straightened up again and said with a smile.

"Haha, your fists are much weaker than they used to be. You're getting old!"

As for what you're saying, I know about it, but I don't believe it.

Lao Tzu looked with his own eyes!

But to be honest, if I'm not mistaken, isn't my current state a true resurrection?

Hey kid over there, I see everyone's looking at you. You're probably the new Pirate King or the World Government's Masira, right?

Can you truly bring Lao Tzu back to life?

Don't worry, I won't cause you any trouble. After all, I've seen it all. Since even Rayleigh and Garp are supporting you, I absolutely trust my friends!

You must have something you're particularly good at, whether it's superior or even surpasses Lao Tzu's.

In short, let me be free again! I won't be a problem for you. I just have a terminal illness that will kill me if I leave the sea, and I also suffer from the pain of not being able to breathe without setting sail!!!

Ha ha ha ha!"

Amid Roger's loud laughter, Whitebeard calmly looked at Gawain and smiled.

"Don't worry, you rascal, Gawain will revive us!"

After all, nowadays, I and Kaido are actually more trusted subordinates by Gawain than old guys like Rayleigh and Garp!

It may be a little embarrassing to say this, but neither of us will deny it. A man should bravely face everything!

You agree, right, Kaido!

"That's right!"

Kaido nodded heavily, then looked at Gawain seriously.

After traveling through many worlds together, Kaido had long regarded Gawain as an inseparable partner.

This time, however, Gawain was the captain in charge of steering the ship.

Hearing their conversation, everyone present was completely bewildered.

Rayleigh, Garp, Aokiji, and Akainu—they simply couldn't believe that Whitebeard and Kaido would ever become Gawain's subordinates.

If you have a question, you should ask it. So he smiled and gave a disbelieving snort.

"How could you be the Emperor's subordinates? You...!"

"Gula la la, don't ask such questions. This is our little secret with His Gawain!"

Only men with secrets are attractive enough, so let's keep these secrets!

If you still want to get to the bottom of this, then I'm sorry, I can only say you'll find out after you're dead.

I used to envy you for being able to board Gawain's ship while you were still alive, but now I'm not envious anymore, because I too can set sail again while I'm still alive!

At this point, the Whitebeard suddenly turned to look at Gawain.

Meeting the Whitebeard's gaze, Gawain nodded slightly, then clapped his hands.

"The Samsara of Heavenly Life Technique!"

In an instant, the four Whitebeard men suddenly smelled the air again.

Immediately afterwards, the Whitebeard clenched his arms with joy, feeling the power he had in his youth.

At the same time, Kaido smiled and reached out to take the small sake flask hanging from Gawain's waist.

After taking a small, delicious sip, Kaido said to Gawain.

"With your current strength, Newgate and I can't help you anymore."

In that case, let's do one last thing for this sea.

In the New World now, only Shanks and Newgate's sons are still a force to be reckoned with.

Since that's the case, let me, Newgate, Linlin, Roger, and I—four old ghosts who crawled out of hell—go and end the last hell on this sea!

And I think that's why you summoned us back.

"It's too cruel to let us old pirates end the era of pirates with our own hands, but it's also the most effective way to end the influence of pirates!"

"That's right!"

Whitebeard picked up where Kaido and excitedly continued speaking to Gawain.

"Moreover, if I send you to fight against my good sons, my sons will likely suffer many casualties."

That would break my heart.

You might not understand, but Kaido and Kaido too well. In the present day, there is no opponent on the sea who knows Gawain. My sons will never win.

Since that's the case, then let this good-for-nothing Pops bear the brunt of his sons' final complaints!

"Hahaha, I get it. Although I don't understand why you bastard did this, I don't mind being played by you guys!"

In the past, I've imagined countless times how interesting it would be if we weren't enemies, but could stand on the same boat!

Also, from what you just said, Shanks still has a place in the New World, right?

In that case, let me, Lao Tzu, weigh Shanks in his current form.

But you still need to explain to me what exactly happened.

Otherwise, I still have the empty title of Pirate King. If I were to fight pirates with such an empty title, I'd be a little worried, hahaha!

Amid Roger's laughter, the resurrection temporarily ended, and the four Emperors of the Sea of the previous era became the first batch of resurrection pilots in the Pirate World.

Only then did Akainu understand what Gawain meant by "timing"!

If they send their own navy to kill the last pirates, the pirates will fail, but the result of that failure will be that even if they lose their power, they will gain a considerable number of followers who admire tragic heroes.

In other words, if pirates simply lost, they would become even more worthy of emulation in the eyes of children.

There's always a market for tragic heroes, isn't there?

And now, Lord Gawain has actually resurrected the former Emperors of the Sea.

So, the new generation of pirate emperors, defeated by the Pirate King Emperors of the Sea Emperors of the Sea...

Such images can leave young people who originally admired the spirit of pirates feeling confused.

Pirates of the old era were charismatic, and pirates of the new era each have their own strengths.

So, how should the children choose?

While Akainu was deep in thought, Whitebeard and his crew had already boarded a ship and were sailing towards the New World.

There weren't just the four of them on board; there was also Rayleigh and a series of other old guys.

In short, the pirates of the old era have now come out in full force.

While happily sailing the boat, Roger asked Rayleigh all sorts of questions.

"Oh, so Shanks gave the Nika Fruit to a kid who looks a lot like me?"

Haha, alright then, my son is definitely not like me. He actually eats Mera Mera no Mi, really...

In short, Shanks has really done a lot since his father died. It's surprising that as the child of Celestial Dragon, he is actually so determined to overthrow his own family.

Very well, I wasn't wrong about him, and I can't wait to see that kid who looks just like me.

"After we deal with the brats in the New World, you'll come with me for a tour, and let me see the world you've created."

"No problem."

Rayleigh nodded with a smile, then looked up at the sea with a wistful expression.

Facing the sea breeze, he picked up the wine jug and took a melancholy sip.

After taking a bite, he grinned and said.

"Hehe, I never imagined that the world we longed for back then would actually arrive before us like this."

In a world without nobles, although there will still be classes and distinctions of strength, at least talented people will no longer be treated like pigs and dogs by a large group of untalented but high-status individuals.

Although the future may not be incredibly bright, it's certainly much better than the past.

Roger, you have to admit, you've been outshone by my new captain, ha ha ha!

"Hahaha, just admit it. A man who's afraid to admit defeat doesn't deserve to be a man."

As long as the times are moving towards a better future, what does it matter if I win or lose?

However, I'm still a little worried. After all, even though Imu lost, she's still alive.

In short, keep an eye on her with Lao Tzu and don't give her any chance to do anything.

Who would have thought that your new captain would be Imu's adopted son?

Who could have imagined that Imu's son would betray Imu and win completely?

"Haha, the most unexpected thing isn't that!"

What's most unexpected is that we old guys would actually throw a punch at a newcomer like Shanks.

I'm already looking forward to seeing Shanks see us.

Ha ha ha ha!!!"
