Shock from the Whitebeard Pirates

In order to expand its strength, the navy sought to acquire wealth indiscriminately.

That would lead to a large number of scoundrels joining the Navy. These guys would cause even more harm to civilians than pirates.

After all, most pirates do not commit massacres.

They only robbed valuables.

Of course, there were casualties. But compared to these people who devour others without spitting out the bones... it's like comparing a small house to a large one.

Therefore... due to various reasons.

The World Government and Navy have indeed expanded their strength significantly, but they have also lost the hearts and minds of the people. Now, unless it's forced conscription, almost no one joins the Navy voluntarily.

Or perhaps other armies of the World Government.

At the same time, Moke was holding Boa Hancock, with a small baby sitting on his lap.

This is his son with Boa Hancock.

She's two and a half years old this year... absolutely adorable.

Her talent is exceptional; she Awakening Observation Haki at just two years old. With that kind of talent, only that little girl from Sky Island can barely compare.

Moreover, he demonstrated exceptional skill in physical combat and swordsmanship.

There was another thing that made him very happy.

That is, through his relentless efforts over the past three years, he has successfully reached the highest level in Observation Haki, Armament Haki, and Conqueror's Haki.

The Conqueror's Haki Coating he had always coveted was now only at the basic level.

The Armament Haki Emission has long been mastered.

Both of them reached the level where they could transform into human form, just like Kongming and Shanks. Only when they reached this level did Moke truly understand the terrifying nature of Haki.

Looking back now, Shanks killed Eustass Kid, who had a bounty of over 3 billion, with a single sword strike.

That's perfectly normal.

The Observation Haki has also reached the level of Future Sight.

Only then did he realize that Haki was truly appealing!

With this Three Types of Haki, where in the world can't one go?

Even Fudō any Devil Fruit abilities, he could now go toe-to-toe with Kaido and Big Mom from back then, and he was confident he could win.

Moreover, both his Zoan Mythical Zoan Five-Clawed Golden Dragon Fruit and Paramecia Beast-Absorb Fruit have reached the Awakening level.

After absorbing Paramecia Absorb-Absorb Fruit and achieving Awakening, he fulfilled his wish.

It absorbed spatial power, becoming the third permanent ability of the Absorb-Absorb Fruit ability.

He soothed the child while gazing into the distance. His eyes narrowed involuntarily; at this moment, his overall strength had reached its peak.

Moreover, over the past three years, he has begun to supervise the main members of the entire pirate crew.

He trained relentlessly.

It even enabled former Kaido Big Mom subordinates, including Yamato, the All-Stars, and the Four Sweet Commanders, to learn the Six Powers.

These people are naturally very talented.

After mastering the Six Powers, their fighting style became more diverse, significantly increasing their overall strength.

"It's time to take the next step."

Boa Hancock's eyes flickered as she heard Moke's mutterings. "Shall we begin?"

Over the past three years, she has come to fully understand Moke. She understands what Moke wants, and she understands that Moke has been waiting for this day for three whole years.

Moke nodded.

Boa Hancock pondered for a moment, then asked, "Red-Hair, or Whitebeard?"

She understood that Moke's ultimate target was the Celestial Dragons.

But if we're going to mess with the Celestial Dragons, the New World can't be in chaos, and no accidents can happen. So, neither Red-Hair nor Whitebeard can keep their hair long.

Moke placed the child on Boa Hancock's lap, then stood up. "Whitebeard!"

Boa Hancock: "Then I'll gather the manpower right away."

Moke waved his hand. "No need..."

He then waved his hand, and a Space Gate in front of him. At the same time, another Space Gate appeared above the Whitebeard Pirates.

"Um?"

The disturbance in this space immediately caught Whitebeard's attention. Looking up, his pupils constricted sharply. He saw Moke emerge from within...

But immediately, a slight smile crept onto his lips, "Three years... I've waited three years! Has it finally arrived? Gurgling..."

Finally, he burst into laughter.

"Phoenix" Marco

Portgas D. Ace, the "Fire Fist"

"Diamond" Jozu

"Flower Sword" Vista

The four immediately noticed the Whitebeard's unusual behavior and followed his gaze. They saw Moke standing in mid-air, looking down at them.

"Moke?"

Marco, Ace, Jozu, Vista all had drastic changes in expression.

They knew this day would come sooner or later. But they never imagined it would be today...

"Gurgle..."

The four of them swallowed hard, for they understood that Moke's arrival meant a major battle. A battle between the two pirate crews... This greatly shocked them.

Because, in their view...

If Moke were to make a move, it would definitely be the Red-Hair.

After all, there was some connection between the Whitebeard Pirates and the Moke Pirates. But Moke and the Red-Haired Pirates had never crossed paths.

Therefore, they had never thought about it before.

The Whitebeard Pirates will become the Moke Pirates' first target.

Then, the four immediately looked around. Since Moke had arrived, his crew must be nearby. Surely this guy wasn't planning to take on the entire Whitebeard Pirates single-handedly, was he?

That's right, Moke is strong.

And it's ridiculously strong.

However, no matter how strong he is, it's impossible for one person to take on the entire Whitebeard Pirates single-handedly!

Leaving aside others, their Pops...

He was once the world's number one... Although he's old now, Pops will always be Pops.

Isn't Moke being a bit too overconfident?

Isn't that underestimating the Whitebeard Pirates?

"Boom..."

At that moment, Moke, who was in the air, unleashed an extremely terrifying aura.

Streams of black, Inazuma- like matter appeared out of thin air across the entire sky. The next second, the Whitebeard Pirates felt an overwhelming, domineering presence.

"Gulp..." Marco, Ace, Jozu, and Vista all swallowed hard.

At this moment, the team leader and some team members, who had been happily enjoying the banquet, all seemed to have been dealt a heavy blow.

The team leaders swayed slightly.

His expression turned extremely grave... while the team members collapsed without warning.

"Brush..."

Everyone stood up at the same time and looked up at the sky.

The moment they saw Moke, everyone was utterly shocked. Firstly, because, like Marco, Ace, Jozu, and Vista, they hadn't expected it.

Moke will target the Whitebeard Pirates first, not the Red-Haired Pirates.

The second reason is that, for the instant they sensed Conqueror's Haki, they thought it was Red-Hair. Because in the entire world, Conqueror's Haki at that level is extremely rare.

They only saw two people.

One is the former Pirate King Roger, and the other is Red-Hair, one of the current Four Emperors.

However, the former is already dead.

Therefore, in their eyes, there is only one person in the world, and that is the Red-Hair.
