Whitebeard: Who Do You Think I Am!?

It descended accompanied by a deafening roar that shook the ocean.

There was also a dense storm of black and red electric arcs, like a violent tempest.

It was none other than the [Conqueror's Haki] released by Beasts Kaido!

The overwhelming [Conqueror's Haki] surged onto the deck of the Moby Dick in an instant.

Thump--Thump--

The low-ranking members of the Whitebeard Pirates gathered on the deck of the Moby Dick were immediately struck by the powerful [Conqueror's Haki], their eyes rolling back and them collapsing unconscious.

The Whitebeard never hesitated to search for his son, regardless of whether it was meat or vegetables.

Even an ambitious man like Blackbeard Teach could be tolerated by Whitebeard.

Even someone like the Great Vortex Spider, who was considered a "filial son," could be forgiven by Whitebeard.

Therefore, even though the Whitebeard Pirates were regarded by the world as the "World's Strongest," the quality of the members in this pirate crew was still uneven.

At this moment, they were suddenly hit by Beasts Kaido's [Conqueror's Haki], and many pirates lost consciousness on the spot.

Some pirates, even those who managed to stand, were still swaying unsteadily.

Seeing this, Marco couldn't help but frown.

Although Beasts Kaido's [Conqueror's Haki] is powerful, it is like a gentle breeze to him, having no effect whatsoever.

However, these "younger brothers" in the Whitebeard Pirates could not withstand Beasts Kaido's "Dragon's Might".

"Newlyweds, step back."

Marco looked up at the sky with a cold expression, and at the same time spoke up to remind him.

"That Beasts Bai Shou, his [Haki] isn't so easy to withstand. Be careful of your health."

Upon hearing the order from the First Division Commander, some members of the Whitebeard Pirates stopped trying to hold on, gritted their teeth, glanced at the sky, and silently retreated back into the cabin.

A moment later.

The mythical Azure Dragon, carrying an imposing aura, landed on the deck of the Moby Dick.

"Run aboard my ship and unleash [Conqueror's Haki]..."

Whitebeard gazed at Beasts Kaido, his large hand resting on the thick hilt of the [Murakumogiri].

"You brat intern, are you looking for death?"

"Orororo!"

Beasts Kaido human form. Looking at Whitebeard, who had multiple IV tubes inserted into his body, he couldn't help but laugh.

"You old freak with superhuman strength, do you still think I'm that intern I used to be?"

In the midst of their conversation, Beasts Kaido pulled out his spiked club, the Hachisai Kai, from somewhere and slung it over his shoulder.

Whitebeard stared at Beasts Kaido, and without warning, drew his [Murakumogiri] from the side of his hand. The huge, thick naginata blade swung through the air in a sharp arc, the chilling light aimed straight for Beasts Kaido's neck.

Beasts Kaido's expression remained unchanged. He gripped his spiked club, the Hachisai Kai, and effortlessly swung it forward, striking the blade of Whitebeard's Supreme Grade Sword as it came down.

Boom!

The weapons of the "Strongest Man on the Sea" and the "Strongest Creature on Sea, Land, and Air" collided fiercely in mid-air, instantly unleashing a deafening roar.

Above the Moby Dick, the clouds quietly gathered, only to be torn in two by the aftershocks of the battle between the Pirate Emperor, with deep ravines in the clouds stretching all the way to the edge of the horizon.

The white clouds shattered, and the sky was torn apart.

This is just a normal scene of Pirate Emperor "greeting" each other.

Even so.

Some of the inexperienced "newcomers" in the Whitebeard Pirates were still dumbfounded by the sight of their father fighting Beasts Kaido.

"Look at the sky!"

"The clouds... no, the sky itself has been completely torn apart..."

"It seems like Father and the Beasts have broken up? Are they going to go to war?"

The atmosphere within the Whitebeard Pirates inexplicably became heavy.

In comparison.

Whitebeard himself, however, showed no sign of nervousness whatsoever.

"Gurarara! You little intern brat..."

Whitebeard laughed loudly, and after testing Beasts Kaido's strength, he put away [Murakumogiri].

"You've definitely improved compared to back then!"

Decades ago, both Whitebeard and Beasts Kaido were members of the Rocks Pirates.

At that time, however, Whitebeard was a "senior officer" of the Rocks Pirates.

Beasts Kaido was merely an "apprentice" in the Rocks Pirates, and he even had an "older sister" above him.

At that time.

The difference in strength between Whitebeard and Beasts Kaido is roughly equivalent to the difference between Roger and Devil's Descendant the Bullet.

After the Battle of God Valley.

The Rocks Pirates have fallen apart, and even their "name" is on the verge of disappearing from history.

After the battle at God Valley, Beasts Kaido obtained his Mythical Zoan Azure Dragon Fruit from his "pink-haired older sister".

Many years have passed in the blink of an eye.

Whitebeard suddenly realized that the gap in strength between him and Beasts Kaido had narrowed to this extent...

What an interesting little rascal!

Compared to the Whitebeard who was looking back on the past.

Beasts Kaido's feelings, however, were somewhat complicated.

He was just wrestling with Whitebeard, but now his mind is wandering to another Pirate Emperor—

White Dragon.

'The pressure Whitebeard puts on me is nothing compared to White Dragon from Whitebeard...'

'Even this old man's superhuman strength is no match for the White Dragon's terrifying power...'

Just as I predicted, the so-called Strongest Man on the Sea, the strongest pirate, is actually White Dragon...

Thinking about this, Beasts Kaido's feelings were inexplicably complicated.

He originally thought...

As his Whitebeard slowly grew old.

He, the Beasts, is the strongest Pirate Emperor!

But what I never expected...

Last year alone, a total of three Pirate Emperor emerged.

Red-Haired!

Red Dragon Emperor!

White Dragon Emperor!

The former is one thing.

A Red-Haired Pirates that was wiped out by the Navy is no longer within Beasts Kaido's sphere of concern.

As the Pirate Emperor, being captured by the Navy is truly humiliating...

However, both the "Red Dragon Emperor" and the "White Dragon Emperor" put immense pressure on Beasts Kaido!

The latter, in particular.

Even now, Beasts Kaido still feels that his life has been completely overshadowed by the White Dragon Emperor...

That bastard!

That... monster!

Beasts Kaido shook his head, clearing his mind of distractions, and also put away his spiked club, the Hachisai Kai.

"Hey, old man, do you have any wine?"

Beasts Kaido, like a rogue, casually sat cross-legged on the deck of the Moby Dick and begged Whitebeard for a drink.

My mouth is a little dry.

"You bastard!"

Whitebeard looked at the unruly Beasts Kaido and couldn't help but laugh and curse, but still waved to his son.

"Bring the wine."

At Whitebeard's summons, Marco reluctantly came over with two large barrels of sake.

My father's health is poor, so I've always strictly limited his alcohol intake.

If there are no outsiders present, Marco's words can still be effective.

But Beasts Kaido inexplicably came over to drink...

Marco couldn't easily persuade him; he had to save face for his father in front of others.

That bastard!

Marco glared at Beasts Kaido with a hint of resentment.

But Beasts Kaido saw Marco walking towards him, his eyes lit up.

He paid no attention to the other party's resentful gaze, nor even to the fine wine the other party had brought, and directly extended an invitation in front of Whitebeard.

"Hey! Marco! Want to join my Beasts Pirates?"

As a die-hard fan of Zoan Devil Fruit, Beasts Kaido also shows a strong preference for Zoan Devil Fruit Devil Fruit User.

The common type is a bit weak...

However, the Ancient Zoan are highly favored by Beasts Kaido.

As for Mythical Zoan, those are Beasts Kaido's favorite!

Marco, the first division commander of the Whitebeard Pirates, Devil Fruit User the Zoan Bird-Bird Fruit, Mythical Zoan, Phoenix Form.

To be impartial and unbiased.

Beasts Kaido is very envious of this "Phoenix".

"What nonsense are you talking about!"

Marco curled his lip, showing no respect to Beasts Kaido, and directly rejected the invitation.

He glanced again at his father, who had already started pouring wine, sighed silently, and quietly retreated.

Beasts Kaido, that bastard!

Faced with Marco's firm refusal, Beasts Kaido looked quite disappointed.

However, he completely disregarded Marco's attitude.

As long as they don't cross his bottom line, Beasts Kaido is quite patient with capable pirates.

"Intern."

Whitebeard first took a big gulp of sake before looking at Beasts Kaido.

What are you doing here?

"Didn't I just say? It's business!"

Beasts Kaido picked up the barrel in front of him and looked at Whitebeard, saying...

"You must have heard the news too, right? Zephyr and Aokiji, they've created some kind of 'New Marines'."

"So you came here to talk to me about this kind of boring stuff? Humph!"

Whitebeard couldn't help but let out a cold snort.

"You little brat, you've climbed the ranks fast and high enough, but why do you seem less daring than you used to be?"

One can discern the subtle meaning from the sound of the strings.

The moment Beasts Kaido opened his mouth, Whitebeard knew exactly what he wanted to do.

It's simply a matter of joining forces with his Whitebeard Pirates to fight against the New Marines.

What a naive and cowardly idea!

Whitebeard felt a pang of disappointment.

How can pirates be afraid of mere marines?

Beasts Kaido's expression was slightly embarrassed, and even the sake in his mouth tasted bland.

Whitebeard's words were like a steel needle piercing his heart, directly shattering his tough facade.

His courage was indeed not as great as it appeared.

Or perhaps...

When facing the weak, Beasts Kaido is the fearless Pirate Emperor.

But when facing stronger opponents, Beasts Kaido begins to resort to scheming and trickery.

Whether it was against Kozuki Oden, or against the White Dragon Emperor before...

Beasts Kaido couldn't defeat these two enemies on his own.

So he allied with Kurozumi Orochi and Charlotte Linlin.

But the difference is...

Beasts Kaido, in alliance with Kurozumi Orochi, defeated Kozuki Oden.

Beasts Kaido teamed up with Charlotte Linlin, but despite fighting two against one, they managed to kill one of them!

After this experience, Beasts Kaido's already limited ambition diminished even further.

This is why, upon learning of the Establishment of the New Marines, he began to consider how to unite with other Pirate Emperor to jointly resist the pressure from the New Marines.

Because in Beasts Kaido's eyes, he alone is no match for the New Marines!

And this was what Whitebeard saw as a cowardly act.

If you don't see eye to eye, even half a sentence is too much.

If Beasts Kaido only wanted to fight, drink, or even catch up with old friends...

Whitebeard is always ready to accompany me.

But this kid wanted to discuss "joining forces to fight the New Marines" with him...

Whitebeard felt that drinking with this kind of person was a waste of his life!

Beasts Kaido frowned, barely suppressing his patience.

"Old man, the New Marines isn't as simple as you think. Even the World Government— "

"Alright! Kid! Who do you think I am?"

Whitebeard abruptly interrupted Beasts Kaido, his expression utterly indifferent.

"Don't buzz around in my ear like a fly."

"Either drink, or get out, or..."

"I'll sink you into the sea!"
