Black Pearl.

Aside from the captain of the Red Heart Pirates, whose head was worth thirty million Belly, all other pirates were knocked unconscious by Mongge and thrown into the sea to feed the fish.

If they woke up in time, they were lucky.

If they died, it was their bad luck.

After all, Mongge wasn't the type of villain who resorted to violence at the drop of a hat. He didn't bother others unless they bothered him. Didn't they still have a chance to survive?

"That'll be two hundred thousand Belly!"

"What? You damn goat, why don't you just rob me?"

Grumbling under his breath, Mongge still cheerfully paid Rocks' medical expenses, as they were old acquaintances.

Now, on the Black Pearl, besides Mongge and his group, there were Newgate and his companions, as well as a doctor Mongge found in town.

A doctor who looked like a goat and was less than half his height.

Mongge remembered that the Straw Hat crew had also met a doctor with a similar appearance in the future, but this one was likely a relative or descendant of the goat before him.

"How about it? Want to join my crew? I'm in need of a doctor right now."

"No thanks."

The goat doctor refused unceremoniously.

"I don't want Kureha to dismember me. That woman said only she can be the doctor on the White Wolf Pirates."

"Hmph, when I said we were disbanding, that old hag was the first to run off."

Mongge pouted, but a nostalgic expression flickered in his eyes.

"After all, we're all getting old."

"And you?"

The goat doctor tilted his head, looking at Mongge.

"You're not much younger than Kureha, are you? Even if you can still fight now, how many more years can you last?"

"Haha, I can last longer than you think."

Mongge pointed to his face.

"Looking at me now, do you still think I'm a seventy-year-old man?"

"..."

The goat doctor took a serious look at Mongge and suddenly took out a syringe.

"Hey, hey, what are you doing?"

"Drawing blood!"

A strong sense of curiosity flashed in the goat doctor's eyes.

"Your current appearance is nothing like what someone your age should look like. If I remember correctly, you look younger now than you did fifteen years ago!"

"As far as I know, you're just a normal human, and Devil Fruits don't increase lifespan. So I want to know what exactly happened to you."

"If we can uncover the secret you hold, it might significantly extend the lifespan of all humanity!"

The goat doctor said without reservation.

"So, with your appearance, it's a wonder you haven't been beaten to death. The pirates must be too kind."

"Because if I were beaten to death, no one would be able to treat their injuries anymore,"

the goat doctor said earnestly.

"Pfft hahaha, I almost forgot. You're the genius who annoyed Kureha so much that she urged me to leave Sphinx quickly."

Fifteen years ago, when Mongge first came, the goat before him was a black-hearted doctor who practiced medicine through self-study. Fifteen years later, the title of black-hearted doctor had become well-known on this island, and many injured pirates sought him out for treatment.

"You're back this time, are you planning to retake Sphinx?"

"What, you don't like that?"

"Even if you do a terrible job, it'll be much better than what those scoundrels did."

The goat doctor closed his medicine box.

"Let's go. Don't leave little Stussy alone at the clinic. This island is about to get chaotic."

The goat doctor called for the nurses in his clinic to leave.

Little Stussy?

The name the goat doctor mentioned sounded familiar, but the system didn't react, so Mongge didn't think too much about it. After seventy years, he couldn't possibly remember the names of everyone in the original plot.

Without dwelling on it, Mongge looked at Newgate and the others sitting on the deck.

"How is it? Have you decided?"

Mongge's invitation to Newgate was sincere. Although Newgate's strength was still very weak due to his age, he was even less powerful than Rocks had been a year ago.

But he was confident that within a year, he could train Newgate to a level comparable to Rocks, as Newgate's talent was no less than Rocks'.

Crew members who could skillfully master Haki were not weak no matter where they were placed, and Moger believed that as time went by, both Rocks and Newgate would grow stronger.

They had endured so many years already; spending a few more years to train Rocks and Newgate to at least the level of Great Pirates.

This was nothing in Moger's eyes.

"I'll consider it."

In his heart, Newgate really wanted to agree to Moger, because this was the White Wolf Pirates, the crew he had always dreamed of joining since he was young.

But seeing his injured companions beside him, Newgate fell silent again.

He couldn't abandon his companions and leave alone.

"If you're worried about your companions, then open your eyes wide and watch."

Moger smiled, unconcerned by Newgate's refusal.

"Fifteen years ago, I changed Sphinx. Limited by my strength at the time, I had to compromise with some pirates."

"But it's different now."

"From today on, no one can make me compromise."

Moger stood up. The sea breeze made his shirt flutter, and in Newgate's eyes, Moger's stature was not large, yet he exuded an aura that made it impossible to look away.

One Pirate Flag!

Two Pirate Flags!

Three Pirate Flags!

Newgate saw that the pirate ships around the Black Pearl were gradually clearing out. A large group of pirates, as if afraid of being caught in the crossfire, steered their ships away. However, they were unwilling to miss the upcoming conflict, so they anchored not far away.

Then, three pirate ships, twice the size of the Black Pearl, sailed from afar, appearing at the port where the Black Pearl was docked.

"Undead Pirates!"

"Black Merchant Pirates!"

"Giant Monster Pirates!"

The pirates hiding in the port, watching the excitement, saw the three approaching pirate crews and couldn't help but swallow. Yet, their eyes gleamed with excitement.

"Cap, Captain, we're so close, won't we get caught in the crossfire?"

"Shut up!"

The pirate captain with a mohawk shouted excitedly, "This is a conflict between the White Wolf Pirates and three Great Pirate crews! Opportunities to witness such a fight are rare. If it breaks out, it'll be worth the price of admission even if we die!"

A corner.

A girl with short blonde hair, wearing a white sun hat, sneaked out, her face still showing dissatisfaction.

"Hmph, if Uncle Goat doesn't take me, I'll come out myself. That's the White Wolf Pirates. If I can catch the eye of their captain, I'll be able to make a fortune easily in the future and won't have to work so hard bandaging and treating people."

What's wrong with an old man?

An old man is good!

When White Wolf Moger dies, she can inherit his fortune, and the money will last her a lifetime!

The girl thought naively.
