On the Grand Line, in the Reverse Mountain, a huge cry of alarm suddenly rang out from a Knock Up Stream.
A not-too-large pirate crew, flying the Straw Hat Skull Pirates flag high, was hurtling down the ocean current at incredible speed.
"We're going to crash."
A scream pierced eardrums, its heart-wrenching sound echoing through the sky.
A beautiful girl with short orange hair and a short skirt was seen clinging tightly to the ship's railing with her slender hands, her delicate eyes filled with tears.
"Help me!"
Not far away, a man with a long nose was also clinging tightly to the railing, trembling with fear.
"The Grand Line, here we come!"
On the bow of the boat, a boy wearing Straw Hat watched the rapidly Backslide red soil and laughed innocently.
Beside him stood a man with green hair, three knives at his waist, his expression grave.
The one steering the ship was a man with short blond hair, curly eyebrows, and a cigarette dangling from his mouth.
"Wait, what's that?!"
Exhaling a puff of smoke, Sanji, who was at the helm, stared wide-eyed at the series of dark figures directly in front of him.
"Mountain's about to crash, Sanji, quickly change direction!"
Shivering, tears and snot streaming down his face, Usopp roared in anger.
"Aww!"
Just then, a deafening roar accompanied by a hurricane caused the group to instinctively cover their ears.
"Yes, it's a whale."
Everyone Big Mouth, staring at the enormous shadow approaching from afar, and swallowed hard.
"Damn it, how dare they block the way!"
The boy in the Straw Hat, who was leading the group, clenched his right fist, ready to attack.
"Luffy, are you trying to kill us? With your size, a single sneeze could send our ship crashing and everyone dying."
"We're doomed, it's going to eat us."
Nami wasn't finished yet when suddenly, a whale that stretched as far as the eye could see opened its mouth wide.
It's completely black.
"Sanji, change direction quickly!"
"Damn it, it's too late!"
"Help! The Grand Line is terrifying!"
A monstrous wave surged up, and the previously noisy pirate crew vanished in an instant.
Amidst the raging torrent, just minutes later, when everyone thought they were about to die, a ray of light appeared before them.
"Empty? Ocean? Something doesn't seem right."
On the silent sea, the group snapped out of their daze and looked at everything before them.
"There's an island there, and a person there."
Suddenly, Usopp pointed to an island in the distance, where there were several coconut trees, and an old man was lying on a deck chair under the trees, reading a newspaper.
The pirate ship docked, and whether he didn't notice or deliberately ignored it, the old man in casual shorts reading a newspaper paid no attention to Nami and the others.
"Excuse me, sir, where is this place?"
Not afraid of strangers, Nami went up to ask him something, but the old man didn't even look up, just frowned and looked at the newspaper.
"Nami, they're ignoring you, watch me instead!"
Taking the lead, Usopp pushed Nami aside, walked up to the old man, and shouted, "Hey! Can you hear me?"
This sound made the old man react.
Slowly raising his head, beneath those ordinary glasses were a pair of sharp eyes. Unnaturally, everyone's hair stood on end, and Zoro even drew his twin swords. If you looked closely, you would notice that his legs were trembling.
Usopp plopped down on the ground, sweat dripping down his face, which was deathly pale.
Who are you?
The ominous premonition vanished, and the old man's eyes began to cloud over. He looked at Nami and the others just like any other old man.
Was that just my imagination?
Nami patted her ample chest, looking somewhat puzzled.
"Call"
Sanji exhaled a puff of smoke, suppressing the turmoil in his heart. He exchanged a glance with Zoro, and both could see the seriousness in each other's eyes; it hadn't been an illusion.
The old man in front of me is definitely not simple.
"Uncle, we're pirates."
The simple-minded Luffy scratched the back of his head and grinned.
"Oh."
The old man remained expressionless upon learning that Luffy and his crew were pirates. He continued to look down at the newspaper, his brows furrowing once more.
"Uncle, where is this place? I remember we were eaten by a giant whale." Seeing that the uncle was ignoring him, Luffy leaned closer and looked at the newspaper.
"This is the whale's belly."
However, before the old man could finish, Luffy snatched the newspaper and began to read it carefully with wide eyes.
"Ace?"
Luffy's eyes gleamed as he looked at the fiery figure in the newspaper.
"You know him?"
On the recliner, Crocus looked at Luffy with slight surprise.
"Yes, I am his younger brother."
Feeling very proud, Luffy patted his chest. He had only seen the pictures in the newspaper, but not the words.
"Are you his brother?"
Crocus immediately stood up, looking at Luffy with some suspicion.
"Yeah, I've been getting beaten up by him since I was a kid, I really miss those days!"
Laughing heartily, we realized it had been so long since we last met.
"What news? Let me see?"
Seeing Luffy and Crocus talking, Nami cautiously stepped forward, snatched the newspaper, and began to read it.
"Whitebeard's Second Division Commander, Fire Fist Ace, powerfully annihilated the Germa Pirates under the Sacred Pirates, Vinsmoke Ichi, Vinsmoke Niji, and Vinsmoke Yonji."
As Nami was completely unaware that when she uttered the surname Vinsmoke, Sanji, who was puffing on a cigarette, tensed up instantly.
"Whitebeard, could it be Edward Newgate, the World's Strongest Man?"
After reading the newspaper, Nami's eyes bulged out of their sockets.
"Fire Fist Ace is said to be Supernova with a bounty of several hundred million, and so is the Germa Pirates."
"I didn't expect a girl like you to know these things."
Lying back down on the deck chair, Crocus sighed, "What a pity. The Whitebeard Pirates are probably doomed this time. This sea is about to be in turmoil again."
At that moment, Sanji snatched the newspaper, looked at the information inside, gritted his teeth, and began to breathe rapidly.
It really was them, but now they're just corpses.
"Uncle, why are you like this? Whitebeard is the strongest of the Four Emperors, why do you sound so pessimistic about him?"
Seeing that Crocus was kind and approachable, Nami gradually relaxed.
Although they had been in the East Blue, they were still aware of Whitebeard's reputation.
"Times have changed. Whitebeard has grown old. With just his crew, including Fire Fist Ace, they simply cannot withstand this opponent."
Crocus sighed, as if expressing regret or helplessness.
"Your opponent this time is the Germa Pirates? Weren't they destroyed by that Fire Fist Ace?"
"That's the problem. Do you know who killed Marco the Phoenix, the first division commander of the Whitebeard Pirates? Phoenix the Marco was someone who could single-handedly rival Marine Admiral, yet he was killed without any chance to fight back."
"What? Comparable to Marine Admiral?"
Everyone was stunned.
"The Germa Pirates are directly under the Sacred Pirates. Have you heard of Thunder God, the God of Enel?" Crocus unusually added a few words when looking at the newbies.
