Whitebeard's Gift; A Beating from the New World! (Bonus)

Luffy's words shocked everyone present. The rest of the Straw Hat Crew stared at their captain in disbelief. Although they knew Luffy well, they never expected Luffy to be so brave!

The members of Whitebeard's side were stunned at first, then countless killing intents erupted! In their hearts, Whitebeard was a being even greater than Roger! How dare a mere brat provoke their Pops! It was simply unforgivable!

Teach covered his head, Ace's eyes widened, and Thatch's mouth gaped open...

Even the usually composed Whitebeard was slightly taken aback, then suddenly burst into laughter. "Gurararara! You've got guts, kid! But becoming the King of the Pirates isn't something you can achieve with just a few words!"

Whitebeard laughed heartily. For a fleeting moment, he felt as if he had truly seen Roger's shadow in this brat before him! As for him, becoming the King of the Pirates was completely unnecessary, and he had no interest in the so-called One Piece! Because, after decades of sailing, he had already found his own One Piece!

"Hmph! I will definitely find the legendary One Piece and become the freest pirate in the world! Just you wait and see!" Luffy listened to Whitebeard's laughter and couldn't help but feel that Whitebeard was mocking him, but so what? For his dream, he had already endured countless taunts! If he were to waver because of this, then he wouldn't be Monkey D. Luffy!

"Gurararara! Since you've come to my territory, as your senior, I'll give you a gift!" With that, Whitebeard turned to his sons. "Teach, Ace, Thatch, Jozu, Vista! You five go and play with these brats! Show them the cruelty of this sea!"

Whitebeard's words caused a huge uproar in the crowd! The Straw Hat Crew stared in disbelief at the five people who slowly walked out. These five were all renowned strongmen in the Whitebeard Pirates!

The rest of the Whitebeard Pirates looked at Whitebeard with puzzlement. In their eyes, they could handle these rookie pirates themselves; there was no need to send out several elite captains, especially since there was Teach, a strongman on par with Pops!

But since it was his Pops's order, he must have had his reasons for doing it!

Seeing that the Straw Hat Crew remained silent, Whitebeard smiled slightly and said provocatively, "What? Don't you want to become the King of the Pirates? If you want to defeat me, you'll have to get past my sons first!"

And who is Luffy? Calling him a pirate honey badger wouldn't be an exaggeration! How could he possibly back down?

"Yosh! Just what I wanted, bring it on!" Luffy clenched his fist, the bones in his hand cracking, then stared at the five people who walked out with a fighting spirit!

"Well, since the captain has said so, then there's no choice but to fight, right?" Zoro slowly untied the bandana from his arm and then wrapped it around his forehead! Facing the powerful and renowned captain of the Whitebeard Pirates, he dared not be careless in the slightest!

"Sigh, there's no other way!" Sanji lit another cigarette, and through the drifting smoke, a fierce fighting spirit burst forth in his piercing eyes!

"Then let's go to the Whitebeard Pirates' arena!" Marco had repeatedly hinted to his Pops with his eyes, hoping to recruit the Straw Hat Crew into his own pirate crew, but Whitebeard seemed not to see it and ignored him. Helpless, he could only follow his Pops's idea.

"Ace, Teach! I'm really strong now! You two come at me together!" Luffy said with great fighting spirit, while the spectators looked at him with eyes full of pity for an idiot.

"Ace, has your brother always been this brave?" Thatch asked Ace, who was standing beside him, after a moment of surprise.

"Hmm, this troublesome little brother! He hasn't changed at all over the years!" Looking at his younger brother who had grown up, he couldn't help but recall their childhood. Ah, Luffy was just like this back then, always wanting to beat him and Sabo.

"Hehehehe! Luffy, I won't disturb your reunion with your brother! Hmm, Robin, the Devil Child! Let's have a chat!" Teach grinned mischievously at Robin not far away, looking like a greasy old man!

Robin:...

"Hey! Don't you dare lay a finger on Robin-chan!" How could Sanji possibly hold back in such a situation? With a powerful push of his feet, he rapidly closed in on Teach!

"Diable Jambe - Dragon-Point Kick!" Sanji's leg suddenly generated immense heat, and he unleashed a kick aimed directly at Teach's eye!

"Hahaha! Not bad, kid! But, daring to get close to me, should I call you smart or stupid?" Facing this fierce kick, Teach simply raised his right arm and caught it steadily!

"Sanji, I'm here to help you!" Even the perverted Franky couldn't sit still anymore. He frantically displayed the mechanical power all over his body. It has to be said that it's really hard for a boy to resist this kind of charm!

"Oh? Young swordsman! Let's have a spar!" Vista stroked his long beard, then looked at Zoro's three swords. His keen senses allowed him to perceive that all three swords were of superior quality! One of the swords even exuded a hint of demonic aura! Based on this alone, Vista could tell that the swordsman before him was definitely not an ordinary person!

"Flower Sword Vista, the 5th Division commander of the Whitebeard Pirates! A powerful swordsman! It would be my greatest pleasure to fight you!" Zoro firmly gripped the Wado Ichimonji, then drew the two swords from his waist, unleashing an extremely fierce attack!

"Oni Giri!" Zoro suddenly vanished from his spot, charging towards Vista!

"Haha, three swords? That's rare indeed!" Vista drew his two side swords and slashed at Zoro without dodging or avoiding them!

"Luffy! You're still the same as before! Let me see if your strength is still as weak as it used to be!" Ace transformed into his elemental form and slowly approached Luffy.

"Hmph! Don't underestimate me, Ace! I'll definitely win this time!" Luffy slowly approached Ace, and along the way, to counter Ace's elemental transformation, he wrapped his arms in jet-black Armament Haki!

"Huh? A little raccoon dog? And a skeleton? Get out of the way! You don't want to get hurt!" The tall Jozu looked at Chopper and Brook, who looked like they could break at the slightest touch, and waved his hand kindly, signaling them to move aside.

"Damn it, I'm a reindeer!" Chopper's body instantly grew larger, transforming from a cute reindeer into a reindeer who knew kung fu and could "fight"!

Jozu:...

"Yo ho ho ho! This tall gentleman! Let the two of us have a go at you!" Brook pulled out his Soul Solid, his eyes full of goodwill!

Although he has no eyes...

"Is this the Whitebeard Pirates?" Usopp swallowed hard, never expecting that the other side could limit most of their pirate crew's fighting power with just four division commanders!

"This long-nosed gentleman, and these two beautiful ladies! Let me be your opponent!" Thatch smiled, though the Inazuma in his hand was rather eye-catching.

"Thunderclap Thatch, the 4th Division commander of the Whitebeard Pirates! Bounty: 700 million Beli!" The cunning and sophisticated Robin looked at her opponent, and to be honest, she felt quite uncertain about her chances!

"There are only three of us left, Robin! Maybe we should just admit defeat!" In Nami's eyes, her captain was already strong enough! But his current bounty was only 500 million Beli! The man in front of her still had a bounty of 700 million Beli, making him an invincible opponent!

"Nami!"

"What's wrong?"

"Beat him and I'll give you 500,000 Beli!"

"I'm a member of the future King of the Pirates's crew, how could I be afraid of a mere Whitebeard Pirates? Come on!"

Usopp: "I knew it..."

Thatch: (ⓛ–ⓛ)?
