Whitebeard: Teach, You Will Be Crowned King!

The New World, Sphinx Island.

The Whitebeard Pirates temporarily stationed themselves on this island to rest, recuperate, and stockpile supplies.

"Dad! Big news! The Navy suddenly released an announcement today!"

Marco, holding a freshly printed naval notice, walked briskly past his brothers and stood before Whitebeard.

"The Navy has captured Pluton Silvers Rayleigh! They plan to publicly execute him!"

Although Marco hadn't seen Pluton Rayleigh for nearly twenty years.

However, he still hadn't forgotten the immense pressure that the man named "Pluton" had once exerted on him.

At that time, Marco was just an apprentice in the Whitebeard Pirates, but he had already eaten the Mythical Zoan Mythical Zoan: Phoenix.

As a result, in an encounter with the Roger Pirates...

Marco's all-out attack was blocked by Pluton Rayleigh using only a single finger...

Since then.

Marco couldn't get the name Pluton Rayleigh out of his mind.

Even though the Roger Pirates had disbanded for nearly twenty years.

Upon seeing Pluton Rayleigh's name again today, Marco couldn't help but recall the events of the past.

"Rayleigh?"

The Whitebeard, who was admiring the beautiful scenery of his hometown, heard this familiar name and couldn't help but turn around.

"Gurarara... It's been such a long time since I've heard that name!"

"Is Rayleigh, like his Captain, going to be executed by the Navy?"

"How embarrassing!"

Back then, the Roger Pirates arrived at Raftel, the Laugh Tale.

After becoming the Pirate King, Gol D. Roger had a brief meeting with Whitebeard.

Whitebeard had initially thought that Roger, that idiot, would continue to cause a series of earth-shattering events after becoming the so-called "Pirate King."

To his utter surprise, this guy had just become the Pirate King.

But wait until Whitebeard hears news of Roger again.

The other party has already surrendered to the navy!

He surrendered, was executed, and at the cost of the Pirate King's life, the Great Pirate Era began...

This is Roger...

Whitebeard snapped out of his reverie and shook his head at Marco.

"We don't need to worry about this, Marco."

The Whitebeard spoke with a weary tone.

Every pirate has their own adventure.

"Rayleigh is a member of Roger Pirates; his affairs are for others to handle."

"If Rayleigh is really executed by the Navy, we can just offer him another glass of wine."

"If Rayleigh escapes this execution, we can hold a celebration banquet then!"

Whitebeard also missed Rayleigh, his old buddy.

With the continuous development of the times.

One by one, familiar faces have left us.

Whitebeard had no idea how many more years his body could hold on.

But.

Pirates have their own rules.

Pluton Rayleigh's affairs have nothing to do with the Whitebeard Pirates.

"Yes."

Marco understood this as well, and he nodded slowly before bringing up another matter.

"Dad, those two bounty posters that the Navy and the World Government jointly issued before..."

"That is, the 'Second Generation' Edward Teach and the 'Third' Edward Weevil..."

"We still haven't found any trace of either of them."

The bounties for Edward Teach and Edward Weevil have been in place for quite some time.

When the Whitebeard Pirates learned of the existence of these two "Whitebeard," they mobilized their forces to try and find them.

Unfortunately, the New World is about to be turned upside down by the Whitebeard Pirates.

The so-called "Whitebeard the Second" and "Whitebeard the Third" have not yet been found.

The World Government and the Marine Headquarters set up bounties for the two "Whitebeard" men with great fanfare.

Marco did not believe that the two "Whitebeard" figures were fictional characters created by the World Government and the Marine Headquarters.

"Dad, these two people may not have entered the New World yet, or perhaps their whereabouts are too well hidden; we haven't found them yet."

"There's no need to rush this, Marco."

Whitebeard reached out his right hand and ruffled Marco's pineapple-like head.

When he first learned of "Edward Teach," Whitebeard was indeed eager to meet this "Whitebeard the Second." who looked almost exactly like him in his youth.

However, after searching for some time, Whitebeard's initial anxiety had subsided and he had returned to normal.

"The sea is vast, and if we're lucky, we'll definitely see those two 'Whitebeard'!"

"Yes, Father."

Marco nodded seriously.

The Whitebeard released his right hand and then asked again.

"By the way, Marco, how's that kid Teach doing lately?"

This "Teach" is not that "Teach".

The emergence of the name Edward Teach.

This involuntarily reminded Whitebeard of another "Teach" on his ship—

Marshall D. Teach!

In Whitebeard's memory, Teach was an ordinary, calm, and unassuming boy.

He has been a member of the Whitebeard Pirates for over twenty years.

But Whitebeard rarely noticed the child's existence.

Because Teach is just too low-key.

As a crew member who has been with the Whitebeard Pirates for twenty years—one could even be considered a "veteran crew member."

Teach still hasn't received a single Beli in bounty!

In other words...

Even the Whitebeard Pirates' number one enemy— the Marine Headquarters.

The Navy hadn't even detected Teach's presence!

But.

Until "Edward Teach" burst onto the scene.

The existence of "Marshall D. Teach" was also discovered within the Whitebeard Pirates.

Whitebeard naturally took notice of Teach, his previously unremarkable "son".

As Marshall D. Teach's presence grew dramatically, things he had hidden for many years were gradually revealed.

After all, on the Moby Dick, right under Whitebeard's nose, some things are really hard to hide.

For example, Marshall D. Teach's strength!

You won't believe it until you see it, and what you find will shock you.

Previously, the members of the Whitebeard Pirates only regarded Teach as an ordinary, veteran member of the second division.

But after Teach's true strength was revealed, everyone realized...

With Teach's strength, it wouldn't be an exaggeration for him to be the captain of the Second Division!

This guy was hiding his true colors!

"Still the same old thing."

Marco couldn't help but get a headache whenever he talked about Teach.

"Despite being so strong, they still say silly things like 'having no ambition'."

"The position of captain of the second division has been vacant for so many years, and he's a veteran in the pirate crew; he could definitely be the captain!"

That's right!

"Lack of ambition!"

This is a new "persona" that Marshall D. Teach chose to create for himself after his strength was revealed.

Teach had no idea why this "Whitebeard the Second." had to be called "Teach".

Not only does she share the same name as him.

This also exposed his strength to the members of the Whitebeard Pirates...

However, it's impossible to keep Marshall D. Teach obediently in the Whitebeard Pirates forever!

Teach joined the Whitebeard Pirates because he wanted to use their power to obtain the Devil Fruit he coveted, known as the most dangerous ability in history.

[Logia - Dark-Dark Fruit]!

Unfortunately, more than twenty years have passed.

Teach had never discovered the existence of the Dark- Dark-Dark Fruit.

This long period of time was almost wearing out Teach's patience.

Now we've encountered the "sudden emergence of Edward Teach."

Marshall D. Teach simply felt that he was having a run of bad luck.

But no matter what.

Teach still dreams of one day obtaining the Dark- Dark-Dark Fruit, leaving the Whitebeard Pirates to form his own pirate crew, and then chasing the throne of the Pirate King —or even the World King!

Human dreams never end!

"Gurala la la..."

Upon hearing Marco's complaint, Whitebeard couldn't help but burst into hearty laughter, his voice seemingly causing the surrounding air to vibrate.

"What an interesting son!"

Whitebeard has roamed the seas for many years and encountered all sorts of pirates.

If Whitebeard remembers correctly.

The last pirate to publicly declare that he had "no ambition" was probably that fool Gol D. Roger!

Whitebeard vaguely remembered that Golden Lion once told him something like that.

The Golden Lion once wanted to join forces with Roger to rule the entire sea.

But Roger said—he had no interest in ruling!

Are there pirates on the high seas who have no interest in "rule"?

Even Whitebeard, for the sake of his family and his son, had no choice but to "rule"!

Whitebeard laughed for a while, then waved to Marco.

"Marco, call Teach over here, I'll talk to him!"

Marco accepted the order and left.

A moment later.

Marshall D. Teach, with his bald chin, approached Whitebeard.

"Dad!"

Teach called him "Dad" willingly.

Regardless of his ambitions or his dreams.

Whitebeard genuinely protected Teach for over twenty years.

Teach will never forget this kindness.

"Teach."

Whitebeard stared at Marshall D. Teach, his weathered, aged eyes seeming to see right through him.

"Aren't you interested in the position of captain of the Second Division?"

"Yeah, Dad, that's awesome, hahaha..."

Teach let out a dry laugh, continuing to maintain his "new persona".

"I don't have the ambition to become the captain."

"Moreover, the previous captain of the Second Division was Oden."

"The distance between me and that man is still too great..."

Oden...

Kozuki Oden...

It's another familiar name.

Whitebeard shook his head, burying the memories deep in his heart.

He stared at his son, who claimed to have "no ambition," and said in a deep voice.

"Teach, do you know who the last pirate was who said he had no 'ambition'?"

Teach didn't know why his father suddenly brought this up, but he instinctively felt a sense of unease.

"I don't know, Dad..."

"Roger!"

Whitebeard uttered the name that terrified Teach.

You should know his real name!

"Gol D. Roger!"

Pirate King Roger?

That man also said he had no ambition?

Marshall D. Teach's heart skipped a beat; the ominous premonition grew stronger.

Was his previous arrogant claim that he "had no ambition" a terrible mistake?

Teach's lips moved.

"Dad, I..."

"Teach, there's one more thing."

Before Teach could finish speaking, Whitebeard brought up another matter.

"I personally do not believe in the legends about the 'D Clan'."

"But Roger told me many things."

"About Raftel, about One Piece, about the D Clan..."

The D Clan...

Marshall D. Teach remained silent.

His full name is not a secret within the Whitebeard Pirates.

Everyone knows that Teach's name contains the letter "D".

However, the vast majority of Whitebeard Pirates members did not know the meaning of "D".

"Since ancient times, the D Clan has been regarded by the world as the 'enemy of the gods'..."

Whitebeard gazed at his son and slowly revealed the secret Roger had told him years ago.

Roger once made a 'prophecy' to me...

"One day in the future, a person burdened with the history of the past few hundred years will challenge the world."

"The world will face an unprecedented 'Great War'! The entire ocean will be turned upside down as a result!"

When Teach heard this, he couldn't help but clench his fist.

Whitebeard continued.

"Teach, after Roger talked to me about the D Clan, I also kept an eye on you for a while."

"But back then, you were just a child who hadn't grown up, no different from any other ordinary child."

"But now, you've grown up!"

"Teach, your name contains the 'D', you are the only member of the 'D Clan' among my sons."

"I see the shadow of Roger from back then in you now..."

"Although I'm not interested in any 'Great Treasure' or 'Great War'."

"But you are a member of the D Clan, and you bear the destiny of the past few hundred years."

"If I could, I would want the man who inherited Roger's will, the man Roger waited for... to be you!"

As Whitebeard finished speaking, he extended his right hand to Teach.

"Teach, one day, my life will come to an end."

"And you, my son, I hope you... will be crowned king!"

"Dad!!!"

Marshall D. Teach was instantly moved to tears.

This moment.

Under Whitebeard's declaration.

Teach instantly abandoned his former dream.

He seizes the Dark- Dark-Dark Fruit, forms the Blackbeard Pirates, and chases the throne of the World King...

This dream is certainly beautiful.

But Marshall D. Teach wanted to seize the moment!

"This era! Is called Whitebeard!!!"
