Whitebeard's Hell! Arrival at Dawn Island!
Edward Weevil?
Another "Edward"??
Another "Whitebeard" guy???
Sengoku never expected that his casual question would actually elicit such an extraordinary answer.
A Whitebeard alone is enough to give the World Government and the Marine Headquarters a headache.
Two Whitebeard were already capable of conquering the Red Line Continent, and even the Gorosei and the Admiral combined couldn't defeat them.
Now there are actually three "Whitebeard" people?
What else could Whitebeard possibly do?
Sengoku felt as if he had fallen into a terrifying hell called "Whitebeard".
Even before his eyes, it seemed as if a vision appeared—a crescent-shaped white beard that he could never forget.
"Storm, are you sure this intelligence is true?"
Sengoku's expression immediately turned serious, and he asked solemnly.
"Besides 'Whitebeard the Second' Edward Teach, is there also a 'Whitebeard the Third' Edward Weevil on the high seas?"
In the analysis prior to Sengoku and Vice Admiral Tsuru.
Both believe that the "Whitebeard the Third" or "Edward Teach" that Storm previously created at Marine Headquarters is actually the same "Whitebeard" who attacked the warship that previously attacked the Elite Marine Recruit Training Camp.
It's a bit convoluted, but to put it simply...
According to Sengoku and Vice Admiral Tsuru.
"Whitebeard the Second" and "Whitebeard the Third" should be the same person.
The previous Whitebeard got thinner, ate the [Rumble-Rumble Fruit], and then became the current Whitebeard...
That's about it.
After all, according to common sense...
How could so many Whitebeard possibly appear on the high seas at the same time?
Moreover, both of these "Whitebeard" possess the same terrifying power and strength as the young Whitebeard!
You need to know.
Even Big Mom Charlotte Linlin, she had so many strange children with so many men of different races.
No one in the Charlotte Family has been able to inherit Charlotte Linlin's talent!
Charlotte Katakuri, the Charlotte Family's "greatest masterpiece".
Is Katakuri strong?
Powerful.
However, she's not on the same level of strength as Charlotte Linlin.
But the two Whitebeard were different.
The former attacked a naval warship, severely injuring former Admiral Black Arm Zephyr and severing his arm.
The latter attacked the Red Line Continent, severely wounding the Gorosei, Marcus Saint Mars, before escaping unscathed.
These two Whitebeard definitely possess strength comparable to Whitebeard in his youth!
Therefore, Sengoku and Vice Admiral Tsuru believed that:
There aren't actually that many "Whitebeard" creatures on the high seas.
Aside from the "original Whitebeard" on the Moby Dick, there are two other "new Whitebeard"...
It should actually be one person.
But now, after hearing Storm's words, Sengoku suddenly realized—
"Whitebeard the Second" and "Whitebeard the Third" are not the same person?!
"It's absolutely true, Fleet Admiral."
This time, Storm wasn't lying to appease Sengoku.
Edward Teach is a fake, but nobody believes that.
But Edward Weevil is definitely real!
Although Storm is still unable to confirm whether "Edward Weevil" is actually the biological son of Edward Newgate, the Whitebeard.
However, based on the intelligence he currently possesses, Edward Weevil definitely has some connection with Edward Newgate!
After all, Miss Buckingham Stussy has claimed more than once that Edward Weevil is the son of "the Strongest Man on the Sea".
She even wanted to use this connection to get Edward Weevil to inherit the Whitebeard Pirates' legacy.
No woman on the open sea would joke about her chastity, right? (Seriously?)
"Okay, I understand..."
Sengoku rubbed his temples in pain.
"Headquarters will draft another bounty for that 'Edward Weevil' as soon as possible."
As these "Whitebeard" sprouted one after another.
Sengoku increasingly felt that these "Whitebeard" men were likely connected to the MADS organization from back then.
Perhaps the MADS organization from back then collected Whitebeard's genes and then cloned several Whitebeard?
These "Whitebeard the Second." and "Whitebeard the Third" clones are probably just different versions and models of Whitebeard clones?
It's a pity.
The Gorosei forbade the Navy from accessing intelligence information about the MADS organization from back then.
The MADS organization has been gone for decades.
What exactly are the Gorosei worried about?
Just as the Sengoku was pondering this...
Storm's voice rang in his ears.
"Fleet Admiral Sengoku, if a bounty were to be placed on Edward Weevil, would he be 'Whitebeard the Third' or 'Whitebeard the Second'?"
Why do you always focus on such strange and unusual things?
Sengoku came to his senses and said helplessly.
"Although you say 'Edward Teach' is 'Whitebeard the Third,' his bounty has already been sent all over the world. Changing it now would be a bit frivolous..."
"Therefore, the headquarters has put a bounty on Edward Weevil, and he should be called 'Whitebeard the Third'."
"Edward Teach is still 'Whitebeard the Second'."
"OK!"
Storm hung up the Den Den Mushi.
Dawn Island is right in front of us.
After thinking for a moment, Storm dialed another number.
"Crocodile, is he still alive?"
"White Dragon!"
In Alabasta, at the Rain Dinners, Crocodile, who was undergoing rehabilitation training, received a call from Storm. He immediately frowned and said with disdain.
"Speak quickly if you need anything."
Have you heard about 'Whitebeard the Second'?
Storm got straight to the point.
"Whitebeard the Second, Edward Teach."
"Certainly!"
Crocodile immediately became interested.
"You've spotted that Whitebeard guy? Tell me now!"
"No, I'm here to remind you of something else."
"Storm said seriously."
"I've received information that besides this 'Whitebeard the Second,' there is another 'Whitebeard the Third.'"
"... Um?"
Crocodile was momentarily stunned.
"You're not kidding me, are you? White Dragon, it's already exaggerated enough that two Whitebeard have appeared on the sea, and now there's a third?"
Believe it or not.
"That's what Storm said casually."
"I'm just reminding you that Whitebeard the Third's name is 'Edward Weevil.' He doesn't look much like Whitebeard the Second; he's more like a fatter version of Whitebeard."
"I know you're very interested in Whitebeard, so I'm telling you this in advance."
"The Navy will likely issue a bounty on Edward Weevil tomorrow, at which point you'll be able to verify the information's authenticity."
After saying that.
Storm then hung up the Den Den Mushi immediately.
He was well aware that Crocodile Whitebeard.
This inner conflict may be related to Crocodile's past experiences.
But one thing is certain.
Crocodile has always harbored the desire for revenge against Whitebeard!
According to Storm...
Crocodile would likely be interested in both "Edward Teach" and "Edward Weevil".
That is indeed the case.
After receiving a Den Den Den Mushi call) from Storm.
Crocodile hesitated for a moment, but ultimately dialed the other senior agents at Baroque Works.
Since Miss All Sunday (Nicole Robin) left, Crocodile has been personally responsible for liaison work with Baroque Works' senior agents.
However, the Baroque Works was originally established by him, it's just a bit more troublesome than before.
After learning about "Edward Teach" from the Gorosei, Crocodile immediately arranged for people to gather intelligence on this "Whitebeard the Second."
Now there's another "Edward Weevil".
Get all the Baroque Works personnel moving to find information about the two Whitebeard!
Crocodile had just finished handing over the instructions.
Suddenly, a message came from below.
"Mr.0, Mr. 7, whom we sent to the East Blue, failed in his mission. He was killed by that young bounty hunter."
Baroque Works are similar to the Donquixote Family, but there are also differences.
For example, the vast majority of members of the Donquixote Family are "pirates".
The members of Baroque Works are primarily bounty hunters.
Since the establishment of the Baroque Works.
Crocodile constantly recruited renowned bounty hunters from Alabasta, and even from the East Blue and South Blue adjacent to Paradise, to bolster his army.
"A failed mission is a waste; it doesn't deserve to live."
Crocodile said coldly.
"Where is that bounty hunter?"
On the other end of the Den Den Mushi, the head of the Baroque Works in East Blue answered nervously.
"He killed Mr. 7 and then left a message—make him the boss and he'll join."
"Ha, a nobody, ignore him."
Crocodile shook his head, ignoring the matter.
So what if the opponent is a famous swordsman from the East Blue?
The East Blue is too small.
How strong can people from the East Blue really be?
Not everyone is named "Roger" or "Garp"!
Crocodile had originally placed high hopes on Baroque Works.
But after being brutally beaten by the White Dragon...
Crocodile regained consciousness in time.
True strength lies in one's own inner strength.
As for "subordinates".
The powerful ones can be retained.
The weak... let them be!
Crocodile delegated the task of finding Whitebeard to his subordinates and threw himself back into training.
On the other side.
East Blue.
Storm, riding the Blue-Eyes White Dragon, finally arrived at Dawn Island, where the Kingdom of Goa was located.
After resting for a while and then having a big meal, his [Haki] has recovered considerably.
[Observation Haki] expanded, enveloping the entire Dawn Island.
Storm captured every sign of life on the island.
To his disappointment, there was no powerful "aura" like that of Kizaru or the Gorosei on Dawn Island.
This means that...
Hero of the Marines Monkey D. Garp is not currently on Dawn Island.
But at the same time...
Storm looked up and gazed in a certain direction on Dawn Island.
It was a large mountain with lush vegetation covering a considerable area.
Near that mountain.
Two of their auras were far stronger than those of the other ordinary humans around them.
If we use the bounty of a pirate to measure the strength of their aura...
The owners of these two auras.
He's at least on par with those who have a bounty of 50 million Beli!
Storm immediately realized the true identities of the owners of these two auras.
Portgas D. Ace, son of the Pirate King!
Monkey D. Luffy, son of a revolutionary!
At midnight, ten thousand words are presented!
