Conditions (3)

Let's rewind to a month ago, to a bustling island in the Whitebeard Sea of New World.

More than two months have passed since the end of the Century War. After leaving Marineford, Jozu and Vista led the remaining members to settle on this island.

This war was a nightmare for the Whitebeard Pirates. The Pops and Ace died one after another, not to mention the other captains and subordinates.

A war that they could have stayed out of the fray destroyed the entire Whitebeard Pirates. Now they are surrounded by enemies on all sides. Not only are the Four Emperors openly seizing their territory, but even some scattered pirate crews have begun to encroach on their land.

Frustrated and angry, Jozu and his companions could only cower and defend themselves as the sharks, drawn by the scent of blood, feeling powerless to do anything about it.

"Jozu, Captain Vista, what should we do now?"

Having been holed up on this island for over a month, the 22nd Division Captain Rumba was furious. They were now like tigers fallen into the plains, being bullied by dogs; the humiliation was simply unbearable.

Vista, his face etched with exhaustion, looked up at the few remaining captains and pondered for a moment before saying, "Everyone wants a bite out of us now. Our Pops and Ace are dead; we can't hold onto those territories on our own. Besides, the Beasts Pirates and the Kingdom are also watching us like hawks."

"Are we just going to stand by and watch?"

Captain Buffalo Atmos of the 13th Division clenched his fists.

There is no other way now.

Jozu lost his former sharpness, and in just a few months, his face became stubble-covered and much more weathered.

"Hateful."

Many people were filled with resentment, but they knew Vista was a fact. Things were different now than when Whitebeard was still Pops. The Whitebeard Pirates were highly sought after, and anyone who wasn't a fool would want to tear a piece of their flesh off.

"It seems you've all become cowards now that Newgate is dead."

Suddenly, a voice came from afar, causing everyone to look up.

"Who?"

As the sandstorm raged, five figures appeared before Jozu and the others, approaching from afar.

Their expressions changed drastically. Jozu and the others watched as the blood-red man moved sideways, about a foot off the ground, and immediately went on alert.

"Patrick Redfield."

Everyone gasped.

This man hadn't appeared on the sea for a long time, but that didn't stop Jozu and the others from feeling uneasy. You have to know that this man was someone who could stand on equal footing with Pops, Golden Lion, and Roger all by himself.

Lately, most of the news reports have been about this man. Sure enough, Jozu had a bad feeling as he looked at the figures around Redfield.

The Shichibukai Big Bear King, the Popularity King, the King of Pet King, a woman, and a pet.

"It seems I haven't been abandoned by the times yet. How about the Whitebeard demons joining my ranks?"

Redfield made no attempt to hide his purpose; after all, he was there to win over this group.

Jozu and Vista, who were at the head of the group, remained silent, instead looking at Redfield in deep thought.

"Wishful thinking! So what if you're the Red the Aloof? We're members of the Whitebeard Pirates!"

Behind him, Atmos, like a stubborn ox, glared angrily at Redfield.

"Atmos, don't speak." Beside her, Peggy, the last remaining female captain of the Whitebeard Pirates, stopped Buffalo Atmos.

"If you want us to submit, fine, but you must agree to two conditions, or we will fight to the death."

Jozu and Vista exchanged a glance; they had already made their decision.

"Look."

With her crimson eyes slightly narrowed, Redfield exuded a Haki.

"First, reclaim all of the Whitebeard Pirates' territories, not a single one should be lost; second, destroy the country and the Navy. I believe you can do it with your abilities, after all, you are a man on par with Pops."

Extending two fingers, Vista made no attempt to hide his thoughts.

"If you agree to these two conditions, we can join your ranks," Jozu concluded.

After all, Redfield's reputation precedes him; he's from the same era as his Pops. Now, if they want revenge, they can only rely on this man's power, because only he has the opportunity to help them achieve these things.

The first condition, reclaiming all territory, is tantamount to making enemies of the Red-Haired Pirates, the Beasts Pirates, the Kingdom, and other pirate forces; the second condition is even more difficult to achieve, and as far as we know, perhaps only Redfield has the ability and means to do so.

"Good, if you can't do it, then please leave."

Captain Fossa of the Fifteen Division used a provocation tactic.

Hahahaha

With unrestrained laughter, an overwhelming Haki emanated from Redfield, causing the Big Bear King and the others beside him to involuntarily take a few Backslide, all staring at this man with trepidation.

"The Four Emperors? They're just a bunch of old-timers. Apart from Garp and Sengoku, the rest of the Marines are just chickens and dogs. I promise you."

His imposing aura stirred up the winds and clouds, and his lofty and indomitable will captivated people. In Redfield's eyes, the so-called Four Emperors were just children, and he only feared those old guys of his own generation.

Now he has not only regained his youth, but his strength is also at its peak. Who in the world can rival him?

"Alright, then we will submit to you."

Looking at this man who was as Haki as his Pops, Jozu and Vista lowered their heads. As Jozu and Vista lowered their heads, the other captains also gritted their teeth and lowered their heads.

"Ha ha"

Three days later, in the Red-Haired Sea, a pirate crew brazenly sailed straight towards the stronghold of Four Emperors Red-Haired.

"Captain, we have guests."

On an ordinary island, the Red-Haired Pirates were temporarily staying. Red-Haired was currently with Maki, but Benn Beckman had to come and spoil the mood.

"Guest?"

"The Red the Aloof."

Benn Beckman's expression was somewhat serious.

"Why is he here?" The Red-Haired frowned.

"The Four Emperors." Benn Beckman didn't say much, just a brief mention of Red-Haired was enough for him to understand.

"Maki, I'll go take care of this first."

With a smile, the Red-Haired looked at the somewhat worried Makino and gestured for her not to worry.

Be careful.

Maki's heart tightened, and she stood up, looking at the Red-Haired.

"Don't worry, it's nothing!"

At the edge of the coast, facing each other, Redfield had his back to Lucky and the others, looking at the horizon.

Beside them, Big Bear King and the others looked at these important figures Yasopp, wishing they could go up and challenge them.

"What an unexpected big shot has arrived."

Not long after, Red-Haired and Benn Beckman approached from a distance, and Red-Haired smiled as he looked at Redfield's back.

Turning around, Redfield looked at the Red-Haired like an elder looking at a senior.

"I never imagined that the demon from back then would grow to this level. Roger would surely be very pleased to know. But what about that Red Nose demon?"

Red-Haired didn't react much to Redfield's address, but the other crew members' faces darkened.

Ghosts? There are very few captains on the high seas who would dare to call their captain that.

"You, Buggy, he's probably looking for treasure!"

"I'm not going to beat around the bush with you anymore. Give back Newgate's territory. I'm just bored and want to become one of the Four Emperors."

It was all rather mundane; the Four Emperors seemed to be nothing special to Redfield.

Arrogant, conceited, and overbearing—no one else would tolerate such behavior in the presence of others, but this man had the right to be so, even though they were all very uncomfortable with him.

This is what it means to be a man of Haki.

"I had no intention of seizing those territories; I was merely providing shelter. Since you wish to take them back, I can return them. However, I would like to learn from your superior skills."

As one of the Four Emperors, even if Red-Haired is cheerful, he wouldn't return everything just because Redfield said a few words.

Without saying a word, Redfield glanced at the Red-Haired, then took off and flew towards the distant deserted island.

Then the Red-Haired disappeared from the spot.
