Aokiji Joins, and Undercurrents Stir the Sea

"Hehehe! What an unexpected guest! A guest is a guest, please have a seat!" Teach stood up, smiling at Aokiji, but his mind was racing!

Although Aokiji joined the Blackbeard Pirates in the original story, his motives were definitely not that simple! And since I haven't shown any grand ambitions yet, why did he choose to come here? Is this some kind of unchangeable plot setting?

Teach thought to himself, while Aokiji was slightly taken aback, then walked to the main table with a relieved expression and sat down in the chair that had been specially brought for him.

"Gurararara! You little ice-playing brat, what's up? I heard you left the Navy after failing to become Fleet Admiral against Sakazuki? Then what brings you here to visit me?" Whitebeard laughed heartily, looking at Aokiji with a meaningful gaze.

Although Aokiji's strength should not be underestimated, he wouldn't be foolish enough to start a conflict at Whitebeard's headquarters. After all, there are three Four Emperors- level fighters on Crescent Moon Island right now!

"Just an ordinary person wandering the seas, looking for a place to mooch a meal!" Aokiji unceremoniously picked up a plate of food and began to eat heartily, his rude eating manner truly resembling that of someone who had been wandering for a long time without food.

"Come on, why are you wandering the seas with your strength? Why not join my pirate crew? You're more than capable of being the vice-captain! And you can choose any of my daughters!" Big Mom looked at Aokiji, who didn't belong to any faction, and suddenly decided to recruit him.

"Oh dear! That won't do! After all, I can't tolerate what your Big Mom Pirates have done. Besides, I have no intention of starting a family!" Aokiji rejected Big Mom's invitation without hesitation. Although he had left the Marines, he still loathed those pirates who harmed civilians!

"Hahaha! Why not join our Whitebeard Pirates? In the New World, our Whitebeard Pirates are arguably the kindest pirate crew! You can go and see the civilians on the island; everyone's face is filled with hope for life!" Teach naturally had the intention to recruit them; after all, who would refuse a combatant of Admiral level?

"Okay!" That simple and direct word left everyone present speechless!

"Hehehehe! Then welcome Mr. Aokiji to our Whitebeard Pirates! From now on, we're comrades!" Teach wasn't surprised at all. He casually handed the choking Aokiji a bottle of fine wine, and then continued his plan to destroy the Cherry Pie!

"Gurararara! What an unexpected choice! Don't worry, I won't let you do anything against your principles! However, since you've joined our Whitebeard Pirates, you still need to fulfill your due responsibilities! I don't think you'll refuse that, will you?" Although Whitebeard was surprised, given his absolute confidence in his strength, he was naturally happy to have another powerful fighter! After all, just him and Teach, two high-level fighters, weren't enough to face some extreme situations! For example, a full-scale attack from the World Government!

As a renowned pirate, Whitebeard naturally knew that the World Government would not let the matter rest so easily! Moreover, the next war was not far off! Not only that, the World Government's forces deployed in the next war would far exceed those of the past! A slight misstep could lead to the annihilation of the entire Whitebeard Pirates!

The Big Mom standing nearby naturally didn't look too pleased! After all, both were Four Emperors- level pirate crews, and she was the one who invited Aokiji to join first. Aokiji refused but joined the Whitebeard Pirates without hesitation, which was undoubtedly a slap in her face!

This woman has a terrible temper!

Yeah, with Whitebeard, Blackbeard, and Aokiji, he needs to change his temper! Getting angry all the time isn't good for his health! Yes! I'm definitely not acting on my own!

After some self-consolation, the Big Mom's complexion finally improved somewhat, while the countless guests nearby were naturally dizzy upon hearing the news! The world's number one pirate crew had gained another Admiral level fighter! It seemed the New World was truly going to become a one-man show for the Whitebeard Pirates!

"Big News Morgans, this is absolutely Big News Morgans! You guys can't miss a single detail! Shoot from every angle, 360 degrees! No! Give me the camera, I'll do it myself!" Morgans was so excited his breathing was rapid. He picked up a high-precision camera and frantically pulled the shutter button!

Meanwhile, Stussy, known as the Queen of the Pleasure District, changed her expression. As readers of the original work should know, she is one of the World Government's agents. It's unthinkable that the World Government would find out about such a major event involving the Whitebeard Pirates so soon!

Baltigo

This is the headquarters of the Revolutionary Army, a gathering place for revolutionaries from all over the world! And their leader is named Monkey D. Dragon! He is known as the world's most vicious criminal!

"Mr. Dragon, are you really going to the Whitebeard Pirates' headquarters? Or should I go with you?" Sabo, with a burn scar on his face, said to the man in front of him. At this time, he had not yet regained his memory, and everything he said was just out of concern for Dragon's safety.

"No need, Sabo! Headquarters needs someone to oversee things! The others are all on missions right now, so this is something I can only leave to you! Don't worry about my safety. Although I can't defeat the many strong members of the Whitebeard Pirates, escaping is no problem if I want to! Besides, my purpose here isn't to fight!" A rare smile appeared on Dragon's usually stern face. He was naturally very gratified to have watched this child he had taken in years ago grow up, from a frail boy to his right-hand man!

"Then, please be careful!"

"Alright!" Dragon nodded with a smile, then transformed into a gust of wind and vanished before Sabo's eyes...

"Charlos, have all the key researchers for the project been brought back?"

"Of course! A mere group of ordinary soldiers can't possibly withstand the CP0's attack!"

"Alright, we can get started on our plan! Oh, and we'll need Sakazuki to come over later! This plan still requires the Navy's involvement! I'm confident that in the next war, we'll give the Whitebeard Pirates a huge surprise!"

"Five years! In just five years, we can launch a full-scale war! By then, the world will still belong to us Celestial Dragons!"

Triumphant laughter echoed once more from the Holy Land Mary Geoise, for an even more terrifying storm was brewing!

"Doflamingo, I'll definitely beat you to a pulp!" With this defiant roar, the original story continues to unfold!
