The Vanished Gorosei! Imu Requests a Conversation!

After Storm and Marco reached a general agreement, he immediately activated the [Tanuki Ring]'s power.

A deformed leaf floated in mid-air, and the moment it landed, it transformed into a "clone of Aokiji".

Under Storm's will, the clone Aokiji reached out and released a chilling aura at Whitebeard's corpse.

"Ice Time Capsule!"

A surge of cold air enveloped the Whitebeard's body, instantly forming a crystal-clear and exceptionally sturdy ice coffin.

With this ice coffin in place, Whitebeard's body can be preserved for a very long time.

The clone, Aokiji, nodded to Storm and then vanished into thin air.

Marco shifted his gaze from the "Admiral" to the ice coffin containing Whitebeard's corpse.

Despite his deep confusion about the appearance of "Aokiji".

But now his attention is mostly focused on his father.

Looking at the Whitebeard body in the ice coffin, Marco was overcome with grief, and his eyes quickly reddened.

If it weren't for the fact that the White Dragon Emperor was right there.

Marco would definitely be crying right now.

"Dad..."

Marco choked out a cry, then forced himself to suppress his emotions and turned to look at the White Dragon Emperor.

"Teach... is he dead too?"

"Blackbeard Teach?"

Storm raised an eyebrow and spoke frankly.

"Of course, according to the pre-announced Execution Time, at noon, I personally beheaded Blackbeard Teach."

Teach is dead too...

I'm really the only one left in the Whitebeard Pirates...

Marco clenched his fist subconsciously, but then helplessly let it go.

He cannot die now.

At the very least, he couldn't die in vain at the hands of the White Dragon Emperor before he could escort his father's coffin back to Sphinx Island.

"I want to take Teach's body with me."

Marco took a deep breath, suppressing his emotions, and said in a low voice.

"And the bodies of other brothers..."

"I'm sorry, I can't guarantee either of those."

Storm shook his head, directly rejecting Marco's request.

"Blackbeard Teach's body contains a secret that I'm quite interested in; he is the legendary 'Alien,' and I have other uses for his corpse."

"As for the rest of the Whitebeard Pirates, you should have noticed during the battle just now that most of them died at sea and have probably been washed away by the tide."

That's not all.

Many Whitebeard Pirates were killed in the recent battle, their bodies torn to pieces.

For example, Diamond Jozu, who died at Bowie's hands.

That huge mass of inorganic diamonds was completely countered by Bowie's [Bari Bari no Mi], and was instantly blasted to pieces.

In addition, Natsu's [Flame-Flame Fruit] is also very effective at "destroying evidence".

Storm couldn't agree to Marco's conditions.

His words were harsh and cruel, but they were the truth.

Marco was silent for a moment, then gritted his teeth and said.

"At least I have to go and see for myself..."

"What ever."

Storm waved his hand, and he, Marco, and the ice coffin left the "Void Prison" together, returning to the Sky Garden.

'What kind of ability is this?'

Marco instantly felt a drastic change in his surroundings, but he couldn't worry about that minor issue right now.

"That, Dad's [Murakumogiri]! I want to bring it back to Sphinx Island too."

"I cannot agree to that either."

Storm shook his head again and explained.

"That [Murakumogiri] was taken by Weevil Edward, Weevil 'Whitebeard the Third' in your eyes. He treasures that naginata very much."

Whether it was Buckingham Stussy's deliberate cultivation, or the influence of "genes," "memory," or "instinct"... it's hard to say...

In any case, Weevil is quite skilled at using the naginata.

His original naginata was a replica of the Murakumogiri.

Now, Storm has defeated the Whitebeard Pirates and captured the Supreme Grade Sword.

[Murakumogiri] was directly "snatched" by Weevil.

Storm didn't have any objections to this.

For ordinary people, the [Murakumogiri] is simply too huge and too unconventional.

Aside from a few exceptions like Whitebeard and Weevil.

Few people can wield the [Murakumogiri] weapon well.

Rather than letting Storm put [Murakumogiri] into the "Treasure of the King" for safekeeping;

Why not let Weevil wield the [Murakumogiri] and restore Whitebeard's fame?

"Weevil ... Edward Weevil ..."

Marco was momentarily lost in thought.

What exactly happened to that child?

"Simply put, Weevil was created by Buckingham Stussy."

Storm gave Marco a brief introduction to Weevil's true "background".

From a genetics perspective

Weevil did indeed inherit Whitebeard's genes.

Marco felt dizzy and disoriented after hearing this.

He wasn't unaware of Buckingham Stussy's existence.

He simply had no idea that Buckingham Stussy would have the audacity to steal his father's bloodline!

"Where is Buckingham Stussy?"

Storm's words were simple and direct.

"Dead."

Marco gave the White Dragon Emperor a strange look.

Kill the "parents" and seize the "child"...

This operation looks so familiar!

Really!

His previous feeling was just an illusion!

The White Dragon Emperor Pirate Emperor is such a pirate emperor!

Marco thought for a moment, then pressed for more information.

"And what about that 'Whitebeard the Second,' Edward Teach?"

Compared to Edward Weevil.

In fact, Marco cares more about Edward Teach.

Whitebeard the Third only resembles his father in appearance, and only about 70-80% so.

However, while Whitebeard the Second. cannot be said to be exactly the same as his father in his youth, he is virtually identical.

Storm smiled and offered no further explanation.

"Secret."

Marco gave the White Dragon Emperor a deep look, but didn't ask anything more.

He gently stroked his father's ice coffin for a while, then transformed into Phoenix and began searching for the "corpses" of the other members of the Whitebeard Pirates.

But he searched the old battlefield in the Sky Garden several times, and then circled the sea below.

Aside from finding a few pirate ships that were still barely intact.

Not a single pirate corpse was found.

As Storm said before.

The vast majority of the Whitebeard Pirates have perished at sea!

Marco, having searched several times without finding anything, did not linger any longer. He grabbed Whitebeard's ice coffin and flew directly out of the Sky Garden, heading towards Sphinx Island.

Storm wasn't worried that Marco would just run away like that.

The Phoenix's Achilles' heel is its Whitebeard.

Both Storm and Marco were well aware of this.

After watching the Phoenix depart, Storm opened the door to another "Void Prison".

The person imprisoned in this small void prison is none other than the Gorosei.

To be precise, it was Ichi.

"Ichi."

As soon as Storm walked in, he saw Ichi frantically digging through the trash.

"What's wrong with you?"

"Woof!"

Storm glanced speechlessly at the big black dog.

"You're not incapable of speaking..."

Ichi patted his head with his paw and immediately began to speak in human language, recounting the events.

The large clump of "garbage" it just dug up was actually something it swallowed – that is, the debris in the infinite swamp space.

There was supposed to be a "spider-like creature" locked up inside.

The Gorosei, the Science Defense Martial God, Lucy, the Saint Saturn.

Unfortunately, Ichi couldn't find the other person.

The Gorosei, who should have been imprisoned in the Infinite Swamp, have mysteriously disappeared!

"Saint Saturn has disappeared?"

Storm frowned.

He immediately opened two more void doors.

One of the doors leads to a small void prison, where the Gorosei, the Agriculture Martial God Shepard X. Saint Peter, who was sealed away by the "Sea Bubble".

Another door leads to a small, empty prison, where the Saint Warcury and Saint Mars are imprisoned, having been turned into dolls by the Joker's [Hobby-Hobby Ring].

But like Saint Saturn.

These three Gorosei, who were clearly already prisoners, have all vanished!

These four Gorosei were all summoned to the Sky Garden by Saint Nusjuro using unknown abilities.

But at that moment, all four of them vanished without a trace, as if they had never been there at all.

Storm opened the last door to emptiness without any hope.

Unexpectedly.

Everyone else ran away.

The bald Gorosei (crossed out) --

Financial Martial God Saint Nusjuro is still here!

He seems to have been waiting for quite some time!

The moment Storm appeared.

Saint Nusjuro slowly began to speak.

"White Dragon Emperor... Lord Imu wishes to speak with you!"

Second update.

Goodnight everyone.
