This Chapter Has No Title, Because the Author Couldn't Think of One

"Thatch, can you hurry up! Who's going to eat 500 Cherry Pie? I went through so much trouble to rescue you, and you won't even let me have enough Cherry Pie?!" Teach swaggered into the kitchen and walked straight up to Thatch, the head chef.

"Teach! I've been making Cherry Pie for four hours straight! Is your stomach Black Hole?!" Thatch looked at Teach with a resentful expression. Ever since they returned to the New World, Teach had been pestering him for Cherry Pie.

"Hmph! I was so badly injured saving you, I almost died on the battlefield! And what did you do? You just made a measly 500 Cherry Pie and you're already complaining to me! So, love can disappear, right?"

Teach held out his right hand, pointing to a wound about 5 centimeters long on his arm, as if to say, "Thatch, you're such an ungrateful person!"

In fact, Teach was seriously injured during the battle at Marineford, but unfortunately, the Cerberus Fruit granted him such strong regenerative abilities! Coupled with the Return to Life of the Six Powers, a mere 500 Cherry Pie were enough to restore his body to normal!

"I owe you! Damn it, I haven't eaten a single bite since I got back, not even a proper meal for Pops! All I've done is make Cherry Pie, Cherry Pie, and more Cherry Pie!" Thatch complained as he sped up his work.

An unprecedented grand banquet is being held on the Moby Dick, where all members of the Whitebeard Pirates, all members of the Blackbeard Pirates, and the captains of 43 pirate crews under the Whitebeard Pirates have gathered together. As for the other members, they are holding banquets on other pirate ships near the Moby Dick!

"Ah! This is wonderful! It's great to be on the Moby Dick!" The Red Hair Pirates were also on the Moby Dick as guests. Shanks was raising his glass, his face flushed, and clinking glasses with Whitebeard.

"Gulp gulp! This time I've brought out some of my most treasured brews! If it weren't for your help to our Whitebeard Pirates, would you even be able to drink this good wine?" Whitebeard held a huge jug and gulped down the strong liquor one mouthful after another.

"Pops, you should drink less!" Marco said, sitting next to the Whitebeard.

"Don't worry! I feel 30 years younger! The hidden injuries in my body have long since disappeared!" The Whitebeard looked helplessly at his son, who was like a doting mother to him. "Marco, as a man of the sea, how can you be so worried about even something as simple as drinking? Go and get your Pops some more wine!"

"Alright!" Whitebeard's health has recovered, a result of his extremely thorough examination! Since that's the case, there's no need to control Pops diet anymore!

"Where's Teach?" Red-Haired scanned the area but didn't notice Teach.

"Gurararara! Teach is probably in the kitchen with Thatch! After being away from home for so long, he must miss Thatch's cooking!" Whitebeard's face was full of pride when he mentioned Teach!

"Hey, Red-Nose brat! Don't pretend to be dead. If word gets out, people will think I'm being a bad host!" Whitebeard glanced at Buggy, who was sitting silently to the side with a wine glass in his hand, startling the latter so much that he almost threw the glass away.

"Hey! Buggy! Can't you be a little more dignified? We're guests, Whitebeard's not going to eat you!" Shanks looked at his long-lost best friend. Just as they were about to return to the New World, a warship appeared in their sight. They initially thought it was a Navy spy, but it turned out to be a group of criminals in prison uniforms!

"What did you say?! Do I look scared? I'm just tired because I haven't rested in a long time! And Shanks, you bastard! I never said I forgave you, don't talk to me like that!" Buggy's expression suddenly turned fierce, his body broke off at the waist, and his entire upper body pounced in front of Shanks.

"Alright, alright, I got it! By the way, I have a treasure map here. Since you're still angry, Buggy, you probably don't need it, right? Well, there's nothing I can do but give it to someone else who's destined to have it!" Shanks smiled slightly, took out a treasure map from his pocket, deliberately waved it in front of Buggy, and then put it back in his pocket.

"A treasure map!" Buggy's eyes lit up instantly, but the next second, he withdrew that light.

"Ahem! Since you're so sincere, then I'll reluctantly forgive you for a day!" Buggy instantly unleashed his full power, his terrifying speed catching even the two peerless powerhouses, Red-Haired and Whitebeard, off guard! The next second, the treasure map that should have been in Shanks's arms fell into Buggy's hands!

"Hehe! All the treasures in this world belong to me Captain Buggy!" Buggy excitedly examined the treasure map in his hand, completely unlike his timid behavior just moments before.

"Gurararara! What an interesting lad!" Whitebeard paused for a moment, then shouted with delight.

"Haha! Your Whitebeard Pirates have won a complete victory in this war! I wonder what you're planning to do next, Whitebeard?" Red-Haired' expression suddenly changed, and he stared at Whitebeard nervously.

"Heh! Red-haired brat, don't think I don't know who you are!" Whitebeard ignored Shanks' drastically changed expression, raised the bottle, and took a swig. "I don't have that much ambition. I just want to protect my sons! To make them the freest men on this sea! As for what they want to do, that's none of my business!"

"I have a feeling, Teach, that man won't stop here! He has a bigger plan! But..."

"Just because I'm still alive, right? Gurrah! Don't worry, I know exactly what that kid is up to! But as his Pops, what right do I have to stop him? I don't care what he wants to do, I care about his safety!"

"But if we really let him do that, the world will experience a terrible upheaval!"

"The world is already teeming with viruses. Even if there's another upheaval, how much worse can it get?"

The Whitebeard's eyes were full of meaning, but after picking up the wine jug, he hid that meaning in his heart!
