Dragon's Arrival, a Meeting That Stirred the World
Joyful times always pass too quickly, and Haruta's wedding ended in the blink of an eye. After the Big Mom Pirates and guests left, a few of the more reserved pirates finally let loose!
As the groom Haruta was naturally forced to drink a lot of alcohol. Of course, everyone knew what was important, since his beautiful bride was waiting for him in the room. If he drank too much, it would cause problems. As for what problems, those who know, know!
"Gurgle! Looks like I'll be able to hold my grandson soon! What a joyous occasion!" The Whitebeard held a large wine jug; clearly, he hadn't had enough to drink at the banquet earlier!
"That's definitely a good thing! It seems our ship will also receive a new generation of blood!" As Whitebeard's left-hand man, Marco stayed by Whitebeard's side every step of the way. Although Whitebeard's physical condition had returned to that of a 40-year-old, it didn't mean he would never get injured again! Now, Marco had to examine Whitebeard's body every three days, and with his superb medical skills, the occasional minor illnesses simply couldn't develop into anything serious!
"Pops!" Ace said suddenly after a long silence, "I want to go out to sea!"
"Hmm? Sure, but is there something you need?" The Whitebeard tilted his head, looking at his beloved son with a puzzled expression.
"Uh, I want to go find someone!" Ace remembered the promise he had made to that person. Although the journey would be extremely difficult, he was still going!
"Gurararara! If I'm not Pops, the person you're going to find is a girl, right?" Whitebeard looked at Ace with a playful expression. The latter suddenly raised his head, and two blushes appeared on his face at a visible speed.
"Pops, how did you know?" Ace's words undoubtedly confirmed Whitebeard's guess. Instantly, the captains stared at Ace with shining eyes, their gossip evident in their expressions!
"Gurararara! How many years have you lived? Your Pops has eaten more salt than you've eaten rice! You think you can hide your little schemes from your Pops? Tell me, which girl have you taken a fancy to?" Whitebeard was extremely curious. The person in front of him was the biological son of his old friend Roger, and more importantly, he was now his godson! In addition, Ace was very talented. From the moment Whitebeard took him as his godson, Whitebeard had the idea of passing on the captaincy to him!
However, to his utter surprise, Teach's growth was so rapid! Teach was now capable of being a captain! He might even be better at it than he was! Nevertheless, Whitebeard still valued Ace highly. After all, if the Whitebeard Pirates grew even larger in the future, Teach would need some capable lieutenants, wouldn't he? And Ace, with whom he had an excellent relationship, was undoubtedly the best candidate!
"Well, it's not impossible to say it!" Ace gritted his teeth, as if he had mustered up immense courage!
"She is Kaido's daughter, her name is Yamato!"
As soon as he spoke, the entire plaza fell silent. All the captains stared at Ace in disbelief, while the ordinary members who had been eavesdropping were also dumbfounded, looking at Ace with disbelief.
"Hehehe! As expected of Ace! But if you want to see that girl, you'll have to enter Kaido's base, right? It's extremely dangerous! How about it? Do you want me to go with you?" As a transmigrator Teach naturally knew about the girl Ace was talking about, but in order not to seem too strange, he still had to pretend to be shocked.
"How interesting! My son actually took a fancy to that bastard Kaido's daughter! Go after whoever you like! Pops support your choice!" For Whitebeard, his family always came first. Even if Ace had taken a fancy to Celestial Dragons, Whitebeard would still find a way to bring her back!
The commanders of the Whitebeard Pirates were no different from his own sons in Whitebeard's heart, while the other ordinary members, although also his sons, were only his adopted sons. Although he would not tolerate outsiders bullying them, they could not be compared to his own sons.
"Pops, I..." Ace looked at the tall man in front of him. Actually, he originally wanted to leave a letter and go alone, but out of trust in Whitebeard and family affection, he chose to tell him his purpose. In fact, he was prepared to be rejected by Whitebeard, after all, his Pops and Kaido can be said to be mortal enemies!
"However, as Teach said, this journey is extremely dangerous! So let Teach go with you! After all, that bastard Kaido is no ordinary person!"
"Pops, me! I want to go too! These two guys went out to play without me, that's so disloyal!" Thatch protested. What? The three of us are best buddies, and you two are eloping, leaving me all alone?
"Hahaha! I think this is a good suggestion! After all, Thatch is very fast! It can greatly make up for our shortcomings!" Noticing the resentment in Thatch's eyes, Teach quickly spoke up for the sake of the future Cherry Pie.
Finally, Teach and Thatch accompanied Ace to the Beast Pirates' headquarters, Wano!
Just then, a gust of wind swept through, causing the pirates in the entire plaza to sway and even the weaker captains to lose their footing. Teach and Whitebeard clearly sensed something was wrong, and the two narrowed their eyes, watching the center of the gust of wind warily!
"Please forgive my unannounced visit!" As the hurricane subsided, a middle-aged man in a green robe appeared before Whitebeard and his crew. The pirates nearby were furious. They drew their guns and aimed them at the man's head!
"Gurararara! That distinctive scar on your face... You're Garp's son, aren't you? Monkey D. Dragon! What brings you to my headquarters?" Whitebeard sat in his chair, radiating an aura that instantly filled the plaza with a heavy atmosphere.
"I simply wish to pay a visit to the head of the pirate world and, incidentally, discuss some matters with you!" Dragon's robes fluttered without wind, emanating an equally imposing aura that rivaled Whitebeard's.
"Hahaha! Is this your sincerity, sir?" Teach narrowed his eyes, and a powerful aura erupted from his body once again. This aura stood alongside Whitebeard's aura, and in an instant, the dragon's aura vanished like broken clouds in a hurricane!
"You're Luffy's father?" A fragmented memory flashed through Ace's mind, and then his eyes lit up as he spoke to Dragon.
"It's Ace! It's been so many years, you've grown into a handsome young man!" A smile appeared on Lonna's stern face, clearly acknowledging Ace's words.
"Hmph, what do I have to talk about with the Revolutionary Army? You should go back to where you came from!" Whitebeard had no desire to have anything to do with the Revolutionary Army. He had no interest in their ambitions and didn't care who ruled the world. All he cared about was his family!
"But the following conversation concerns the very survival of your company..." Whitebeard's furious voice rang out as soon as Dragon finished speaking.
"You little brat! Do you think that just because I'm friends with Garp, I won't kill you?" Whitebeard Murakumogiri and was about to chop it down on the dragon's head!
"Hmph!" As the leader of the Revolutionary Army, Dragon was naturally no ordinary person! He stretched out his right hand, and countless wind blades appeared out of thin air, then went straight to meet Whitebeard's Murakumogiri!
"Bang!"
The enormous sound caused everyone to be temporarily deafened. Then, an ordinary pirate, as if he had seen something terrifying, hurriedly spoke up.
"Look at the sky! The sky has cracked open!"
