When Whitebeard Meets the Rumble-Rumble Fruit!

"Banquet?"

"Yay!"

Storm's suggestion immediately drew enthusiastic cheers from the Shandia warriors.

Hundreds of years have passed.

The Shandia people, who had been wandering among the floating Sky Island, have finally succeeded in reclaiming their old lands today.

Regardless of how the Shandia people actually reclaimed the territory...

Anyway, this is the Skypiea, this is my home island.

Now it has once again become home to the Shandia people!

This has been personally certified by Vongola Storm!

Even gods cannot oppose it.

Such a joyous occasion deserves a magnificent and grand banquet to celebrate!

The idea of holding a banquet, once it emerged, spread like wildfire, igniting the hearts of every Shandia warrior.

At this moment, they had no time to explore this "island of their homeland" in depth.

The Shandia people only wanted to return to Hidden Cloud Village as soon as possible, and then rally all the villagers to come to the Skypiea.

Celebrating the return of our hometown!

That's what the Shandia warriors thought, and that's what they did.

After bidding farewell to Storm, the Shandia guerrillas, led by Vearth, hurriedly left Skypiea.

Even Aisha, the little girl who had been crying just moments before, held back her tears and joined the others.

At the moment of parting.

Aisha turned around and raised her right hand toward Storm, waving it from side to side.

The clay Nine-Tails Fox doll swayed left and right along with Aisha's movements.

Although Aisha still felt a deep regret for missing out on that large white lizard with wings.

But Storm gave the Skypiea to the Shandia people...

Isn't the Nine-Tails Fox quite good?

'That brat!'

Storm looked at Aisha, who was forcing a smile, and his lips twitched slightly.

Whether it was Jewelry Bonney whom I encountered before, or Aisha whom I met today, they were both quite unlovable brats!

The teachings of our ancestors have never deceived us.

Even dogs would reject a five- or six-year-old!

Storm watched the Shandia people turn and walk away, shaking his head.

With the banquet imminent, he decided not to remain on Skypiea to test his abilities with the [Rumble-Rumble Fruit] and [Armament Haki].

Storm summoned the Blue-Eyes White Dragon, rode White Dragon to the shore of the Skypiea, and then plunged into the boundless White Sea.

The surrounding "Sea Cloud" had no effect on Storm and the Blue-Eyes White Dragon.

The Blue-Eyes White Dragon, like a nail, kept drilling downwards.

With the power of the Rumble-Rumble Fruit, Storm's Observation Haki's range of perception was dramatically amplified.

Even from the high altitude of the White Sea, he could clearly sense Jaya Island below!

Even on Jaya Island, the pirates in Mock Town were laughing and joking.

At this moment, all of this was clearly reflected in Storm's [Observation Haki].

He could unleash the power of the Rumble- Rumble-Rumble Fruit at any time, delivering a "God's Punishment" to Jaya Island!

'Let's ignore these petty pirates for now...'

This time, Storm still had no intention of staying on Jaya Island.

The enormous shadow cast by the Blue-Eyes White Dragon swept across Jaya Island and then sped off towards Banaro Island.

Not long afterward.

Across the vast ocean, Storm could see the legendary Godzilla, a hundred meters tall, standing on the island.

Banaro Island is right in front of us.

The Blue-Eyes White Dragon slowed its flight speed.

Storm glanced at Whitebeard the Third, who stood quietly to the side like a statue, and directly removed a ring.

This is precisely the one that contains the power of the [Rumble-Rumble Fruit] --

[Rumble-Rumble Ring]!

The moment Edward Teach put on the [Rumble-Rumble Ring], endless lightning erupted from his body.

Even the Blue-Eyes White Dragon's body was tinged with a dazzling electric light, giving it an extra sense of majesty.

Rumble--

A thunderclap exploded in the clear sky over Banaro Island.

Robin, who was reading a book in the clay hut, heard the sudden thunder and instinctively looked out the window.

The Blue-Eyes White Dragon, its body wreathed in silvery-white arcs of electricity, was reflected in Robin's pupils.

"The boss's Blue-Eyes White Dragon..."

Robin couldn't help but stand up, lean over and peer out the window, wanting to get a closer look.

"But what about the lightning?"

Before Robin could even process what was happening, the Blue-Eyes White Dragon unleashed another burst of dazzling lightning, causing her to involuntarily close her eyes.

Boom!

A deafening roar of thunder rang in Robin's ears.

It was as if a terrifying bolt of lightning had crashed down from the heavens.

Robin opened her eyes, and a figure that was both strange and familiar appeared before her.

What's unfamiliar is that Robin has never actually met the other person.

What she was familiar with was that she had learned about the other person's legends from countless sources.

Look at that iconic crescent-shaped white beard...

That was Crocodile dreamed of countless nights—

"Whitebeard???"

Robin was stunned when she saw the Whitebeard descending from the sky, his entire body enveloped in lightning.

The intense mental shock left her frozen in place, forgetting even how to blink.

Why is Whitebeard in Paradise?

Why does the Whitebeard look so young?

Why wasn't Whitebeard's power the Tremor-Tremor Fruit, but rather the legendary and unparalleled Rumble- Rumble-Rumble Fruit?

Robin barely came to her senses, her gaze sweeping past the tall, muscular Whitebeard and landing on the White Dragon in the sky.

Blue-Eyes White Dragon, why are you just watching from the sidelines?!

No!

Blue-Eyes White Dragon, why did you fly away?

The lightning that enveloped Edward Teach gradually dissipated.

Robin felt that the person in front of her was even more unreal...

She must be dreaming right now.

Just then...

Edward Teach spoke, his voice deep and resonant, with a hint of thunderous magnetism.

"Nicole Robin?"

When Robin heard "Whitebeard" call her name, she was jolted as if she'd been electrocuted.

"Yes!"

"Edward Teach."

Whitebeard the Third gave a brief self-introduction, then turned around.

"Let's go, the Vongola are waiting."

Vongola?

Robin was taken aback.

Isn't that the boss's surname?

The boss knows... this Whitebeard?

Edward Teach?

Who is this?

Whitebeard's real name seems to be Edward Newgate?

Robin's mind was flooded with questions, but he couldn't find any answers.

A clay Godzilla, the same height as her, took the lead and followed Edward Teach into the distance.

Robin snapped out of her daze, quickly tidied herself up, and, carrying a hand-drawn island design sketch, immediately followed.

Not far away, the legendary Godzilla, towering over a hundred meters tall, slowly sank into the earth and disappeared.

When Robin arrived at Storm's side with Edward Teach.

That legendary Godzilla has completely disappeared.

Even the clay Godzilla that was as tall as a person was sunk underground by Storm.

Big cutie and little cutie...

Robin secretly regretted it.

Storm looked at Robin, Edward Teach stood silently to the side.

"They're here? Is no one causing trouble on the island?"

How could anyone dare to act recklessly in front of the giant, 100-meter-tall beast?

Robin silently shook his head, then handed the design draft in his hand to Storm.

"Boss, this is the island planning map of Banaro Island that you requested earlier."

"Hmm, not bad."

Storm glanced at the design paper briefly and didn't see anything that fit Robin's aesthetic—nothing dark or bizarre.

"You can keep it for now... Is there anything else?"

"No..."

"Then let's go to Sky Island together."

A wave rippled beneath the feet of Storm, Robin, and Edward Teach.

A Blue-Eyes White Dragon emerged from the earth, carrying the three of them directly into the sky.

Robin managed to steady herself, glanced at the Whitebeard who was resting with his eyes closed beside her, and quietly moved closer to Storm.

"Boss, who is this?"

"Teach, my first crew member."

Storm responded.

"Didn't I tell you about this before?"

Absolutely not!!!

Even the cunning Robin was starting to feel frustrated.

Why is there a White Dragon man accompanying the "Whitebeard"?

Has the world gone mad to this extent?

The archaeologist was internally screaming.

However, on the surface, she maintained a calm and composed expression, and even revealed a charming smile.

Yes, that's right.

"Don't think I can't hear the sarcasm in your tone~"

Storm raised an eyebrow and mimicked Robin's tone.

"Anyone would say that."

There's a cunning old man in the navy.

Storm was all too familiar with this tone.

Robin's charming smile became somewhat stiff.

"Okay, okay, no more joking around."

Storm shrugged, pointed to Edward Teach, and reluctantly gave an introduction.

"His full name is Edward Teach, the 'Thunder Man' who possesses the [Logia Rumble- Rumble-Rumble Fruit] ability."

As Storm began his introduction...

Edward Teach, who was standing to the side, also opened his eyes, glanced indifferently at Robin, and then nodded almost imperceptibly.

It really is the legendary [Rumble-Rumble Fruit]!

Robin felt a cold sweat break out on her back. She looked at Edward Teach and greeted him cautiously.

"Hello, I'm Nicole Robin."

"There's no need to be so cautious."

Storm reached out and hooked his arm around Edward Teach's shoulder.

"Teach has a very good personality--"

Sizzle--

As soon as Storm finished speaking, Edward Teach's body transformed into a dazzling bolt of lightning.

Robin involuntarily closed her eyes, and when she opened them again, Edward Teach had vanished.

This personality...

Is it really that good?

Robin looked at Storm, highly skeptical of what he had just said.

"Oh, right, there's one more thing."

Storm clapped his hands, and the [Rumble-Rumble Ring] quietly returned to his finger.

"If you don't mind, you can call Teach 'Whitebeard the Third'."

"However, although Teach's surname is Edward, he has absolutely no relation to Edward Newgate Whitebeard."

Robin blinked upon hearing this.

Really? I don't believe it.

Just look at Edward Teach's signature crescent-shaped Whitebeard.

Who dares to say he has absolutely no connection to the real Whitebeard?

A slightly dark thought even surfaced in Robin's mind.

This "Whitebeard Teach"...

Could he be Whitebeard's son?

Thank you very much to the boss "Yundeng Muxi" for the 10,000 starting coin reward!!
