White Dragon, You Take on Whitebeard Jr.!
When Storm received a Den Den Den Mushi) from the Gorosei.
He had found another island with human activity near the deserted island he had just left, and on that island, he found a restaurant that was open for business.
Brubru--
While Storm was enjoying his meal, he suddenly heard his Den Den Mushi (Den Den Mushi) ringing.
He casually answered the Den Den Mushi then placed it on the table beside him.
The rather human-like Den Den Mushi cautiously crawled a few centimeters to the side, and then the voice of the Gorosei, Saint Nusjuro, came through its receiver.
"White Dragon..."
Chamber of Power, Saint Nusjuro Den Den Mushi, intending to give White Dragon a task.
However, a series of jingling and clanging sounds came from the Den Den Mushi's receiver.
What are you doing over there?
"Who are you? Oh, the Gorosei..."
Storm glanced at the Den Den Mushi, then immediately lowered his head and began to eat voraciously.
"I'm eating. Get to the point quickly, or I'll hang up."
"Etc!"
Several twisted blue veins bulged on Saint Nusjuro's large, bald head, which resembled a hard-boiled egg.
Why did White Dragon's tone sound so unpleasant?
Are the Shichibukai government's lackeys or its bosses?
"White Dragon!"
Saint Nusjuro cut to the chase and began to explain directly.
"The government has a task for you!"
"A government task? Ha! What does that have to do with me?"
While stuffing food into his mouth, Storm scoffed at Saint Nusjuro's words.
"The Shichibukai only need to focus on fighting pirates; you can figure out the rest yourselves."
After saying that, Storm continued eating with great gusto.
He was like a dragon that hadn't eaten in a long time, sweeping away all the food in front of him as if it were a whirlwind.
Seeing this, the Den Den Mushi quietly crawled a few centimeters to the side, afraid of being eaten by Storm.
"This is an emergency order from the government!"
Saint Nusjuro roared into the Den Den Mushi's receiver, his voice carrying through the Den Den Mushi to every corner of the restaurant.
"You! White Dragon! Hawk Eyes! And the other Shichibukai! You all need to accept this mission!"
"What a nuisance! They have no sense of public decency!"
Storm looked at the Den Den Mushi with a disgruntled expression and urged it impatiently.
Why do people always seem to bother me while I'm eating?
"What's this time? Tell me!"
As things stand at the moment.
The Shichibukai was also advantageous to Storm.
He hasn't been to Punk Hazard Island yet, and hasn't met Dr. Vegapunk.
The identity of Shichibukai cannot be easily relinquished.
"Whitebeard!"
Seeing that the White Dragon was finally willing to cooperate, Saint Nusjuro immediately spoke.
"A young man with Whitebeard attacked the Holy Land Mary Geoise, and the government and navy are now after him!"
The World Government hastily produced the bounty notices and sent them to the entire world.
Every force associated with the World Government will receive this newly issued bounty.
The Gorosei certainly wouldn't overlook the Shichibukai, a powerful pirate force.
Moreover, from a certain perspective...
Pirates are indeed more flexible in their dealings than governments...
It's possible that pirates could discover Edward Teach's whereabouts before the government and the navy could.
The Shichibukai.
Saint Nusjuro was the first to notify Hawk Eyes Mihawk.
The World's Greatest Swordsman was very interested in "Young Whitebeard".
But Saint Nusjuro wasn't sure if Hawk Eyes Mihawk would leave Karakana Island because of this...
The second person to receive Den Den Mushi notification from Saint Nusjuro.
It's the White Dragon!
Hawk Eyes number one.
White Dragon is second.
This order actually represents Saint Nusjuro's ranking of the Shichibukai by strength...
Whitebeard?
Upon hearing the Gorosei's words, Storm raised an eyebrow.
The Whitebeard you mentioned, could he be me?
Cough cough, could it be that "Whitebeard" guy I know?
"The Whitebeard Pirates have finally reached the Red Line Continent? Whitebeard has finally used his Tremor- Tremor-Tremor Fruit to destroy the world?"
Storm responded deliberately in a mocking and sarcastic tone.
"This is truly a victory for the pirates!"
"It's not the Whitebeard Pirates, nor is it Whitebeard."
Ignoring White Dragon's teasing, Saint Nusjuro corrected him.
"It's 'Whitebeard the Second.'"
"The Second Generation?"
Storm was taken aback.
"Where did this Whitebeard the Second come from?"
"Whitebeard the Second., full name Edward Teach, looks exactly like Whitebeard in his youth."
Saint Nusjuro picked up a wanted poster he had just finished working on and slowly spoke to White Dragon on the other end of the Den Den Mushi.
"This 'Whitebeard the Second' poses a significant threat to the government!"
Goodness...
Storm smirked.
It turns out that it wasn't the real "Whitebeard the Second" who appeared.
Instead, he "evolved"...
From "Whitebeard the Third" regressing to become "Whitebeard the Second"...
But that makes sense.
The Whitebeard Pirates can still be considered the "strongest of the Yonko".
Edward Weevil, the original "Whitebeard the Second," would not dare to openly show his face while Whitebeard was still alive.
When Edward Weevil, the "Whitebeard the Second," received an invitation from the World Government to become Shichibukai.
That happened after the Summit War...
But now...
Edward Teach will do what Edward Weevil wouldn't!
From this moment on...
Edward Teach is Whitebeard the Second.!
"You mean that... Whitebeard the Second. attacked Mary Geoise?"
"Storm asked with great interest."
"What exactly did Whitebeard the Second. do to make you think he poses a significant threat to the World Government?"
"Government secret, no comment."
Saint Nusjuro gave a simple evasive answer, and then continued.
"White Dragon, Whitebeard the Second. possesses the [Rumble-Rumble Fruit] ability, allowing him to travel between different islands in a very short time."
"The government suspects that Whitebeard the Second. may have been hiding in the Calm Belt or on Sky Island 10,000 meters above sea level for the past few decades."
"You can fly and are capable of reaching these places. Keep a close eye on Whitebeard the Second's whereabouts."
"Once discovered, capture Whitebeard the Second. immediately, dead or alive! But, preferably alive!"
Saint Nusjuro didn't just give this order to White Dragon.
Every Shichibukai receives the same order from Saint Nusjuro.
That is, capture Whitebeard the Second. immediately upon discovery!
As for what happens if it fails...
The government would immediately invite Whitebeard the Second. to become Shichibukai.
A young Whitebeard who looks exactly like a young Whitebeard and also possesses the invincible power of the [Rumble-Rumble Fruit].
Once you become Shichibukai recognized by the World Government.
It will definitely deal a major blow to this turbulent Great Pirate Era!
It could even Whitebeard Pirates!
After hearing Saint Nusjuro's words, Storm fell silent.
He had previously thought that it wouldn't matter if the World Government did anything to Edward Teach.
After all, the World Government was only targeting Edward Teach; what did that have to do with Vongola Storm?
But Storm never expected this.
The World Government actually sent him to capture Edward Teach!
Ah, this...
"You people in the World Government are a bunch of good-for-nothings!"
Storm unleashed a torrent of abuse at Saint Nusjuro.
"That Whitebeard the Second. attacked Mary Geoise, and you couldn't even catch him yourselves. Now you want our Shichibukai to catch him for you?"
In a fit of rage, Saint Nusjuro flew into another rage.
White Dragon's words were very unpleasant.
But it is indeed an undeniable fact.
Before Edward Teach appeared, who could have imagined it?
How could the Gorosei and Headquarters Admiral, working together for several days, fail to subdue a single pirate?
It's really embarrassing...
But.
The World Government established the Seven Warlords of the Sea system precisely to combat pirates, right?
Strictly speaking...
Capturing Edward Teach on behalf of the government is also a duty and obligation of the Shichibukai.
"This is the duty of you Shichibukai."
Saint Nusjuro said calmly.
"If you enjoy the rights granted by the government, you need to fulfill the obligations that the government should fulfill."
"The government has already sent Whitebeard the Second.'s bounty poster all over the world. Go find one and take a look when you have time."
Anyone can say nice things!
Storm snorted again, then asked the question that concerned him most.
"Hey you, Whitebeard the Second., how high is his bounty?"
"1.999 billion Beli."
"Take the young master?"
Storm was stunned, and instantly became restless.
How much did you say?
Saint Nusjuro repeated the number again.
1.999 billion Beli!
Storm immediately gritted his teeth upon hearing this.
No, why should I?
1.999 billion Beli, how many times is that 95 million Beli?
Edward Teach's bounty is even higher than his!
And it's so much taller!
This is utterly upside down!
"No way, are people from your World Government out of their minds?!"
Storm, holding the Den Den Mushi receiver, roared angrily at Saint Nusjuro.
"Why does Whitebeard the Second. have a bounty of 1.9 billion Beli, while I don't even have a bounty of 100 million Beli?"
"Does he really deserve an extra 2 billion Beli in bounty just because he has the name Whitebeard?"
Saint Nusjuro couldn't quite understand the White Dragon's intense reaction.
Is this kid eating gunpowder?
Why are you so angry?
Besides.
Are you, White Dragon, the same person Edward Teach?
White Dragon, a former naval officer, enjoys fighting pirates and poses virtually no threat to the government...
Whitebeard the Second., suspected to be Whitebeard's illegitimate son, Devil Fruit User the Rumble- Rumble-Rumble Fruit. He maliciously attacked the Red Line Continent and caused serious damage to the Gorosei...
How dare White Dragon try to take advantage of Whitebeard the Second.?
How can a little kid playing in the mud be compared to Thor?
