The Unconvinced Eldest Son

"Damn it, Newgate!!"

Shimotsuki Furiko cursed Whitebeard Newgate under her breath, clutching her son, Ancient Moon Ryuma, tightly.

She looked at Houka with pleading eyes, hoping her man would refuse this request.

She did not want her son to take such a risk.

However, Ancient Moon Ryuma in her arms had already begun struggling.

"I'm willing!!"

"Mother, don't worry about me!"

"Uncle Newgate, I'm willing!"

"Father, I want to fight!"

Ancient Moon Ryuma hurriedly spoke up. Even his three-year-old younger brother Katakuri could join the battle—how could he, the older brother, fall behind?

He also wanted to awaken Conqueror's Haki like Katakuri!

"What about me? What about me! Who's picking me to fight with them!"

As the eldest brother, Gu Yue Shenwei immediately raised his hand and shouted when he saw that no one had chosen him.

Could it be because his Yamata no Orochi ability still could not fly, so no one wanted him?

No way!

He looked at Uncle Silver Axe Xiong, who had already fused with the teleporting man, and Uncle Basta, who had fused with the invisible man.

Among the king-level cadres who had awakened Conqueror's Haki, it seemed only Uncle Babel the fish-man remained.

Ugly or not, weak or not, Uncle Babel's Flame-Flame Fruit ability could fly, so he seemed like a pretty good match for him.

Thus, Gu Yue Shenwei decisively looked toward Babel, a trace of hope in his eyes.

He hoped Babel would choose him.

But Babel's scalp tingled under Gu Yue Shenwei's gaze. He truly was not as powerful as Redfield or Newgate, nor was he confident enough to protect these precious children.

"Shenwei, Uncle Babel isn't strong enough. How about waiting until Uncle Shiki comes back?"

"Uncle Shiki can fly and use Conqueror's Haki Infusion. He's the best choice!"
