The spread of newspapers has been seen by forces large and small in the world.
Whitebeard territory, above Moby Dick.
Ace, who has become Second Division Captain and has completely integrated into Whitebeard Pirates, held the newspaper in his hand, pointed at the information on it and said to Whitebeard, "Pops, is this Whitebeard Jr.... really your son?"
"Gula la, where did my son come from..." Whitebeard smiled and shook his head.
Naturally, he also saw the news about Whitebeard Jr., but he was certain that he did not have any heirs at all.
As for the appearance of Whitebeard Jr., he was also a little confused...
"Huh, is that really true? This damn guy actually uses the name Pops!" Ace became a little angry.
Ace, who has been impressed by the charm of Whitebeard, values the name of his Pops more than himself!
Whitebeard laughed, "Gula la, just let him do this kind of thing. It's not a big deal anyway."
Whitebeard really didn't care about this matter, and didn't even take it to heart.
"No!" Ace said resolutely, "How can we watch a guy of unknown origin domineering at sea in your name Pops? It may have an impact on your reputation!"
Marco on the side also spoke, "That's right, Pops, what Whitebeard Jr., we "sons" don't agree with this title!"
After hearing what Marco said, the other team captains present nodded.
Now there are actually people using the name Whitebeard Jr. to operate at sea, and they have also become the lackeys of World Government. The captains of Whitebeard are naturally a little angry!
Whitebeard was very impressed by her sons' support for her, and laughed loudly, "Gu la la, as long as you have this intention!"
Ace looked at Whitebeard and suggested. "Pops, let me find this Whitebeard Jr.. I will definitely investigate the matter clearly and will not let him continue to use this name!"
Whitebeard shook his head. "After all, the other party is also one of the Shichibukai recognized by World Government. His strength is not weak, so there is no need to take this risk."
Although I don't know the origin of Whitebeard Jr., but to be recognized by World Government, he must be quite powerful!
Ace didn't speak again after hearing this, but he had already made a decision in his heart!
Whitebeard didn't notice Ace's expression and laughed loudly, "Come, let's celebrate that Ace's bounty has also been increased. Let's have a party, kids!"
After listening to Whitebeard's words, everyone turned their attention away from Whitebeard Jr.'s news, brought out the drinks and food, and started the banquet.
Singing and dancing, the atmosphere was extremely harmonious.
But the next day, Ace left alone, driving a special boat away from Whitebeard Pirates...
Marco hurriedly came to Whitebeard and told Whitebeard the news, "Pops, Ace he..."
After knowing the news, Whitebeard couldn't help but shake his head and thought to himself: 'This boy is very similar to the previous Roger. Is he really worthy of being a father and son?'
Whitebeard nodded and said, "Let my subordinates pay more attention to it and pass it back as soon as there is any news."
Marco smiled and said, "Don't worry Pops, Ace is not weak. He already knows a little bit about Haki. During this period of time, with our guidance, he can use Two-Color Haki proficiently. With Logia's ability, even if I want to defeat him, it will take some effort."
Whitebeard laughed, and he was not very worried about Ace's safety. "Of course I know his strength very well, but he is still too immature. No matter how hard he goes, only the training of life and death will make him stronger!"
Whitebeard intends to train Ace into a strong man who can stand alone. It is not that he wants Ace to inherit his position, but he simply wants to make Ace stronger!
As the son of Roger, Ace's own talent is first-rate. With his guidance from Whitebeard, maybe Ace can surpass Roger in the future!
This is what Whitebeard wants to see!
Marco smiled, "Also..."
Whitebeard glanced sideways at Marco: "If you don't work hard, you will probably be caught up by Ace."
Marco didn't care much. "I can see that Ace's talent is very good. It's only a matter of time before he catches up with me."
"..."
Red-Haired territory.
Seeing that his reward has been increased, Red-Haired is also a little happy.
However, after seeing the news from the Two Emperors Alliance, Red-Haired couldn't help but frown. "Did these two guys actually choose an alliance..."
Ben Beckman on the side was also a little surprised. "I think their alliance is not just for Ice Dragon Ian. It is possible that they want to take a step towards One Piece. If I remember correctly, each of them owns a piece of Red Road Poneglyph, right?"
Currently, there are only two Road Poneglyphs in the entire world, and the traces of the rest are unknown.
These two pieces are in the hands of Kaido and Charlotte Linlin respectively.
This kind of thing is not a secret to the top strong men in the sea.
"Laugh Tale..." Red-Haired fell into some kind of memory.
He once had the opportunity to go to Laugh Tale.
However, because of what I heard and Buggy's sudden illness, Red-Haired did not choose to go with him.
Missed this opportunity.
Ben Beckman glanced at Red-Haired and said calmly, "Do you need to make some preparations?"
Red-Haired smiled, "Of course, since the situation is no longer stable, we should also prepare... But there are only two road sign texts, which will not have much effect, so there is no need to be too anxious."
Ben Beckman nodded and said nothing more.
At the same time.
Because the quota of Shichibukai is fixed, World Government needs to impose some restrictions on Shichibukai. This is also to let Shichibukai know the responsibilities he needs to fulfill, how to contact the navy and other issues to discuss.
The first Shichibukai all-staff meeting will be held in Marine Headquarters soon!
The Navy has sent personnel to contact Shichibukai who have been separated from various places, and sent invitation letters to the hands of seven people!
Because it was the first meeting, World Government's attitude was relatively tough.
If you refuse the invitation, your name as Shichibukai will be removed.
Therefore, this time Shichibukai meeting, it is likely that all members will arrive...
Seven Shichibukai received an invitation letter one after another.
Above Kuraigana Island, Hawk-Eye looked at the invitation letter in his hand, showing a look of interest. "Oh? Are you actually planning to summon me? The first Shichibukai meeting? It's interesting... I just have nothing to do now, so let's go over and see those people who can stand in the same position as me..."
Amazon Lily, Amazon·Lily, Empress Boya·Hancock also looked at the invitation, biting her silver teeth slightly, it was just a simple action, but it was so beautiful on her body. "Marine Headquarters gathering? Humph, although I don't want to go, but the name Shichibukai is still needed by the Ai family..."
Somewhere underground in Alabasta, Crocodile also looked at the invitation with a playful look. "It's really interesting... Calling seven of us at once, does World Government want to do something?"
Florian Triangle, on a ship comparable to an island, Moria, who was woken up by his men, frowned slightly. "It's really troublesome, but if you don't go, will you be banned Shichibukai? Huh, World Government these damn guys..."
In a laboratory, Bartholomew Bear calmly looked at the invitation in his hand, not knowing what he was thinking in his eyes...
Fish-Man Island, Jinbe also received invitations from the Navy: "Marine Headquarters? It seems that I need to go there..."
In the first half of Grand Line, on a certain island, Miss Barkin looked at the invitation and yelled at a burly man who was rampaging behind him, "Stupid son, why don't you stop and get rid of these pirates quickly, we have something to do!"
