Four Emperors Stirred: It Was Actually Invented by a Celestial Dragon, Unbelievable!

On an island with freezing weather and drifting snow.

"Alright, alright. Rockstar, you head back first; you don'Golden Divine Punishment need to worry about the letter."

Red-Haired Shanks exhaled a puff of white breath with a smile, holding a Den Den Mushi as he spoke.

"But Boss, he..."

"Come back. If you keep making a fuss like this, you might not make it back alive."

After saying that, Red-Haired Shanks hung up the phone and shook his head.

Whitebeard still had that same temper. When he sent someone to deliver the letter, the man tore it up directly without even looking at it, and demanded that he go and meet him in person.

"What do we do now, Boss?"

Lucky Roux, Yasopp, Beckman, and other officers, along with members of the Red Hair Pirates, were all gathered around. After hearing the phone call end, they understood the situation and asked.

"Then we'll make a trip there."

Red-Haired Shanks kept the smile on his face, his gaze fixed resolutely on the distant sea.

"Alright then, brothers, get ready for battle!"

Lucky Roux was unsurprised by Shanks's reply and raised his arm in a shout.

The surrounding crew members all shouted in response, immediately preparing to set sail.

They had all heard it: the boss was going to meet Whitebeard!

This was no small matter. As fellow Emperors of the Sea, the Whitebeard Pirates were enemies when all was said and done, and it was entirely normal for the two sides to clash upon meeting.

Just imagine two Emperors of the Sea leading their pirate crews into battle; the commotion would not be small.

But just as the Red Hair Pirates were making preparations and Red-Haired Shanks was about to board the ship, the Den Den Mushi rang out once more.

"Red-Haired, Kaido went to Marine Headquarters again. None of the Marine Admirals made a move; instead, a technological product named Droplet stopped Kaido..."

The person on the other end of the Den Den Mushi had a considerable background. After confirming that the person answering was Red-Haired Shanks, they calmly recounted the intelligence regarding Droplet.

Kaido attacked, Droplet intercepted, and they mentioned that Droplet was a technological product.

Red-Haired Shanks, Beckman, and the others could quietly listen to the intelligence at first, but as the report continued, everyone's expressions changed drastically and they grew even more astonished.

"Droplet?! A technological product?"

"It stopped that monster Kaido?"

Yasopp, Lucky Roux, and the others were all dumbfounded, blurting it out.

For something like this to be fierce enough to stop Kaido was simply unimaginable, making it hard for anyone not to be deeply shocked.

Red-Haired Shanks's pupils shrank even further. Knowing full well how difficult Kaido was to deal with, he asked, "Is it a new weapon invented by Vegapunk?"

"No, it's a Celestial Dragon named Figarland Lynn!"

The person on the other end of the Den Den Mushi lowered their voice slightly and said.

"Figarland!"

Hearing this surname, Red-Haired's expression shifted slightly.

The surrounding officers drew in sharp intakes of breath.

Are you kidding me? This kind of ferocious contraption was invented by a Celestial Dragon?

"Are you certain?"

"Certain! That's all, goodbye."

The person on the other end of the Den Den Mushi affirmed it decisively, hanging up right after and leaving the shocked crowd around Red-Haired Shanks.

"Boss, do you know the Figarland Family?"

Beckman noticed the change in Red-Haired's expression and asked.

"I do. Figarland Lynn—I have some impression of him. He wasn'Golden Divine Punishment even born yet at the time, but his father and I were relatively close. He was a decent, honest man of a different sort."

Red-Haired Shanks lowered his eyelids, seemingly recalling a certain point in time.

The Figarland... family seemed to pass down an "oddball" in every generation, which caused the family members to grow fewer and fewer.

For instance, Homing of the Donquixote Family was just such a person.

It seemed Lynn was also an oddball, and moreover possessed such terrifying talent in technology, inventing a product capable of resisting the Four Emperors!

Upon hearing Shanks call him a decent, honest man, Beckman, Yasopp, Lucky Roux, and the others nodded successively.

A decent, honest man meant he was different from the other Celestial Dragons, and conversely, no one found it strange at all that Red-Haired was so well-informed about the Celestial Dragons.

Anyone who joined the Red Hair Pirates would come to know their boss's past identity.

"In that case, there's a real possibility that something like Droplet was indeed invented and manufactured by Lynn..."

Beckman frowned as he pondered.

"No matter what, we must pay attention to news about Figarland Lynn, but for now, we still need to go and see Whitebeard."

Red-Haired Shanks pondered for a moment, cast his gaze toward the Red Force on the sea, and took the lead in walking over.

Beckman, Yasopp, the other officers, and the numerous crew members followed closely behind.

Red-Haired really was going to see Whitebeard in person.

Marco hadn'Golden Divine Punishment anticipated this beforehand.

With his letter torn up, shouldn'Golden Divine Punishment he be looking for a time to get back at him rather than foolishly going right to his doorstep?

Wouldn'Golden Divine Punishment the Marines just watch two Emperors of the Sea meet? And besides, wouldn'Golden Divine Punishment Old Man Whitebeard and Red-Haired Shanks's tempers flare up and cause a fight?

Therefore, life on Whitebeard's ship went on as usual, unaware that Red-Haired was currently on his way.

Meanwhile, the events that transpired in Marineford had also been relayed to the ears of the Whitebeard Pirates by informants in the shadows.

It was equally detailed, and equally shocking to the Whitebeard Pirates crew.

"Pops, there's even intelligence about this being sold on Sabaody Archipelago. Kaido went to Marine Headquarters to make trouble and seek death, but Droplet appeared—who would have thought the Marines actually mastered something like this!"

Marco held the Den Den Mushi in his hand as sound emanated from it.

Jozu, Vista, Izo, and the others were all gathered around. Whitebeard sat casually on the large chair beneath the mast, listening, as one by one their expressions turned to astonishment.

It was no surprise that Kaido went to Marine Headquarters to try and commit suicide; that guy had gone looking for the Marines more than once, and had also sought out their Whitebeard Pirates, the Red Hair Pirates, and even spared nowhere—not even Mary Geoise, which was guarded by the CP Force.

It was just that no one possessed the means to kill Kaido, causing the calculated Kaido to slip away every single time.

"Droplet is a technological product? An object shaped like a droplet?"

"Yes! Exactly!"

"Then how did it beat back Kaido? How... how does it attack?"

The people on the Whitebeard Pirates ship couldn'Golden Divine Punishment help but feel curious amidst their shock. They could picture a droplet shape, but it was hard to imagine how such a thing could carry out effective attacks.

"Marines at the scene reported that Droplet's speed is extremely high, and it can even perform unnatural turns—like doing a 180-degree turnaround without decelerating... As for attacks, they said it always strikes with its head, and the pure impact force reaches the Admiral-level. What's most formidable is Droplet's defensive power; even Kaido's consecutive attacks couldn'Golden Divine Punishment destroy it!"

The intelligence personnel clearly knew a great deal, having thoroughly investigated to report back to Whitebeard.

"Hiss... This is getting a bit formidable. Then who on earth invented it—that scientist rumored to be five hundred years ahead of the world? Pops, what do you think..."

Everyone spoke in astonishment one after another, finally turning their heads to look toward their ultimate pillar of support, Whitebeard.
