"That's enough." Lin Mo said expressionlessly, "You bullied me Crew Member on my ship, with my consent?"
Whitebeard put away his power and said with a faint smile, "It seems that this is your bottom line."
"Lin Mo boy." Rayleigh suddenly asked, "Let me ask you a question, do you think you have any weaknesses?"
Lin Mo:"..."
After a moment of silence, Lin Mo replied, "No."
"That's so loud." Whitebeard grinned, "You are not strong enough now. Your bottom line is your weakness. Only when you are strong enough to make everyone fear you will you be qualified to say no."
Lin Mo:"!"
Rayleigh continued, "Newgate is right, Lin Mo, your current strength is indeed very strong, and you can even beat Marine Admiral without losing, but this is not enough. I think you should know this yourself."
Lin Mo:"..."
Of course he knows.
He still remembers the fact that he almost died after being slapped by Sengoku Buddha Form.
Sengoku, Garp, Rayleigh, etc., there were many masters in their era, many of whom had retired. In a one-on-one challenge, Lin Mo was still very confident. Even if he couldn't win, he could easily run away, but once he faced off against multiple old guys, it would probably be difficult.
Therefore, he must continue to do sign-in tasks, improve his strength, and make himself stronger.
This is a world where the jungle prevails, and whoever has the strongest fist has the right to speak.
Whitebeard is not a bully, nor is he an unreasonable person who would take the initiative to stir up trouble. In fact, he never thought about taking action against Lin Mo and his Crew Members, and the reason why he did this was just to test.
Obviously, Whitebeard's goal has been achieved.
"Okay, okay." Rayleigh suddenly acted as a peacemaker, "Newgate, please stop bullying these children. Now is their time, just let them make trouble on their own."
Chapter 718 Dune Island: Captain, give me a chance
Just as Rayleigh finished speaking, Marco, whose hands transformed into Blue Flame wings, appeared on the Inkman Deck guardrail.
Next to him, a boy wearing an orange cowboy hat, with black hair, some freckles on his cheeks, shirtless, Left Arm with "ASCE" written on it Tattoo, He stood outside the guardrail, stared at the people on Inkman with a smile, and said, "Pops, why didn't you bring me with you when you came to see Lin Mo?"
Marco said with a faint smile, "Pops brought you here for what? If you are too busy, go and help the brothers."
The boy didn't listen to what Marco said at all. He jumped over the guardrail, jumped onto Deck, and walked directly towards Whitebeard.
The boy who came is none other than Ace.
Lin Mo had already guessed that even without Flame-Flame Fruit, Ace would most likely board Whitebeard's ship, so it was not too surprising.
On the contrary, it is Rayleigh.
As far as Lin Mo knows, current Rayleigh probably doesn't know that Ace is the son of Roger.
It can be said that there are only a handful of people in the world who know that Ace is the son of Roger, and Whitebeard is certainly one of them.
As soon as Ace came over, he immediately focused on Lin Mo and challenged him. "You are Lin Mo. Pops often mentions you. I heard that you are very strong, so I want to challenge you."
As soon as Ace finished speaking, he was hit on the head by Marco who was chasing him. "Okay, now you are no match for Lin Mo. If you challenge him, you will be beaten unilaterally."
"Gu la la la la." Whitebeard laughed, "If Ace wants to challenge Lin Mo, let him challenge him. How can he grow without hitting a wall? Marco, leave him alone."
Marco said helplessly, "Even if Pops agrees, Lin Mo is not a war-loving guy. I don't think he will agree."
Then, Lin Mo really cooperated and said, "I refuse."
"You really rejected me." Ace said regretfully, "Since you have rejected me, forget it."
Suddenly thinking of something, Whitebeard looked at Rayleigh and introduced, "Rayleigh, this is Ace."
Rayleigh looked at Ace, smiled and said, "Newgate, it seems that your dream has come true."
Whitebeard said with great pride, "Gu la la la la, yes, my sons are all excellent, and they are the family members I am most proud of."
"Oh, by the way." Marco suddenly said, "Pops, I want to form a battle with the Lin Mo team again, what do you think?"
Whitebeard said nonchalantly, "Okay, as long as Lin Mo kid agrees, you can make your own arrangements."
Kaku looked at Lin Mo and whispered, "Captain, Enel, that guy has already agreed on his own initiative."
Lin Mo:"..."
Marco also looked at Lin Mo and smiled, "Lin Mo, as Captain, Crew Member, you can't just sit idly by, right? Enel has already told me."
"Hey!" At this time, Enel's dissatisfied voice came over, "Don't think that I, Thunder God, can't hear what you are saying because I'm not on the ship!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Enel suddenly appeared in front of everyone, with a look of displeasure on his face. "Since I, Thunder God, have promised you that I will do everything for myself, then I, Thunder God, will fight you myself."
"This is not possible." Marco is not going to miss this opportunity to fight with the Lin Mo team so easily. "I originally wanted to form a five-round three-win round battle, but there are only a few people on your ship. Unless Lin Mo also joins, there will barely be enough people to participate in the battle. So, how about the same three-round, two-win system as last time?"
"Not very good." Lin Mo said directly, "Enel agreed, so he will fight you himself."
"Don't be so stingy." Marco said with a smile, "Of course, there are stakes in this round battle. If you win, you can raise any conditions. As long as we can do it, we will satisfy you."
Enel said dissatisfied, "What's the use of what you said? Your favor is worthless."
"What about me?" Whitebeard grinned, "If you win, I, Edward Newgate, promise to unconditionally promise you three things. On the contrary, if I, Whitebeard Pirates, win, then you only need to promise me one thing unconditionally. How about that?"
Rayleigh didn't mind the big deal and said cooperatively, "Newgate is recognized as the strongest man in the world right now. This kind of opportunity doesn't come very often. Lin Mo, you have to think carefully. Newgate is a man who sticks to his word. He will never go back on what he promised."
"What is the strongest?" Whitebeard said disapprovingly, "This is just a title. No matter how strong a person is, he will have to face death one day."
"Indeed." Rayleigh said with emotion, "No matter how strong you are, you will still have a mortal body after all. You will die sooner or later, but even if you die, you must die well so that your life will not be in vain."
Lin Mo:"..."
Why did these two old guys suddenly lament about life and death?
However, the conditions of Whitebeard are indeed quite good.
If you can win this competition and get the three conditions of Whitebeard for free, you will be able to avoid more trouble in the future.
After thinking for a while, Lin Mo agreed, "Okay, then it will be the same as last time, best of three games."
Marco said confidently, "Okay, it's settled. There will be no draw this time. Win is win, lose is lose. As for the competition time, it will be set on Pops's birthday in three days. How about it?"
Lin Mo said nonchalantly, "Anything is fine."
Marco continued, "Okay, let's decide on the list of participants today. As for the order of the battle, it will be decided by drawing lots on the day of the competition, right?"
Lin Mo: "Yes."
Marco: "Then let's discuss who will participate first, and we will announce the names of the contestants together in two hours. Once we make a decision, we can't go back on it."
Lin Mo: "Okay."
Then, Whitebeard and the others left Inkman first.
After they left, Lin Mo gathered Kaku and the others and began to discuss the quota for this round-based competition.
Perona was the first to speak, "I'm too weak, so don't count me."
Enel said disdainfully, "With the strength of your three-legged cat, we never thought of letting you go."
Perona:"..."
Kaku continued, "In that case, how about I, Little White and Enel come on?"
Lin Mo thought for a while and replied, "This time is different from last time."
Kaku nodded and said, "I know, if Little White, winning is inevitable. As long as I and Enel can win, it will be fine. Captain, believe me, we will not be careless this time."
Rayleigh was watching the show while stroking his beard and smiling.
Lin Mo was silent for a while and continued, "We must win this time."
"So?" Rayleigh asked with a smile, "Do you want to go too?"
Lin Mo looked at Rayleigh, the corner of his mouth curled up slightly, and continued, "Even if you are a temporary worker, you are now Crew Member on my ship."
Rayleigh was stunned for a moment, and the smile on his face froze for a moment, "Do you want to..."
Chapter 719 Dune Island: List of participants in the battle
After Whitebeard and the others left Inkman, Marco gathered all the captains who were currently here to discuss arrangements with the combat personnel of the Lin Mo team.
Originally Ace was not qualified to participate, but he squeezed over and strongly recommended himself. "I want to participate, let me participate!"
Marco said with a half-smile, "Ace, don't cause trouble. You may not even be able to beat Lin Mo's Crew Member right now."
"How do you know you can't beat me if you haven't fought before?" Ace said confidently, "I'm very strong!"
"Gu la la la la." Whitebeard laughed, "Since Ace wants to participate, let him participate."
Marco looked at Whitebeard and said helplessly, "Pops, you dote on Ace too much."
"Well, there's nothing we can do about it." Marco shrugged and continued, "Then Ace has a quota, and I count it as one. There is only one quota left. Which of you will take it?"
Diamond Jozu said, "I'll do it."
Vista the Flower Sword was not to be outdone. "Let me do it. I just want to see how the boy playing with the double swords on the Lin Mo ship has grown during this time."
"You two have already participated last time, you should give us a chance this time." At this time, one was short and chubby, with grayish skin, thick lips, and two pockets near the chin. He was wearing a Whitebeard Pirates JollyRoger Wearing a purple smock and a purple triangle hat, Whitebeard Pirates, captain of the sixth team, Devil Fruit User, Blamenco, immediately objected, "Forget it if you two have fought before, let me do it first this time."
"No." Whitebeard Pirates The seventh team captain Rakuyo said dissatisfied, "I want to fight too."
Then, everyone started to make a fuss, everyone wanted to go.
In the end, it was really impossible to decide on the third candidate. When everyone wanted to hand over the decision to Whitebeard, they suddenly paused before they spoke, and then couldn't help but burst out laughing, "Gla la la la, it seems that Lin Mo is serious this time."
Everyone was confused.
Marco asked strangely, "Pops, what's wrong?"
Whitebeard grinned and continued, "I know who the third one is."
the other side.
Kizaru's new Marine Battleship away from Dune Island.
Sengoku called to show concern, "How is the situation over there?"
Kizaru picked his ears and said in a lazy tone, "The information is true, Lin Mo is indeed in Dune Island."
Sengoku immediately asked, "So, you haven't taken action yet, are you formulating an action plan?"
"No, we withdrew."
"What? Withdrawn? Why?"
"Dune Island, besides Lin Mo, there are others. Aokiji and I are useless even if we go together, we can't defeat them."
Sengoku was stunned and asked in confusion, "What's going on? Who else is there besides Lin Mo?"
Kizaru continued, "Whitebeard and Rayleigh."
Hearing this, Sengoku fell silent.
After a long time, Kizaru continued to speak, "Moxi Moxi, Sengoku, are you still there?"
"Ahem, cough, cough." After coming back to his senses, Sengoku coughed dryly, "Are you sure you read it correctly?"
"How could I be wrong about those two monsters? Aokiji also saw them. If you don't believe me, you can ask him."
"Okay, I understand." After a moment of silence, Sengoku continued, "Don't act rashly first. Observe from a distance to see what they want to do when they gather at Dune Island. Don't arrest him until Lin Mo is separated from Whitebeard and the others."
Dune Island.
After two hours of deliberation.
The battle lists for both sides are out.
For the sake of fairness, a few people from Lin Mo, plus all Crew Member from Whitebeard who are currently at Dune Island, are all gathered together.
Hosted by Marco.
"It will be Pops's birthday in three days." Marco smiled and said, "In order to consolidate the friendship between the Whitebeard Pirates and Lin Mo teams, we have decided to conduct three rounds of random rounds on Pops's birthday. Who will be the opponent will be decided by drawing lots on the day. Now the players of both sides are announced. Once announced, they cannot be changed. Lin Mo, are you sure you won't make any substitutions?"
As soon as Marco finished speaking, everyone's eyes turned to Lin Mo.
Lin Mo said casually, "I won't change it."
"Okay." Marco then opened the paper sent by Kaku, looked at the name written inside, and couldn't help but smiled and shook his head, "Lin Mo, you played really hard this time... haha Ha, now that you have decided, I will now announce the list of the Lin Mo team for this competition. The contestants are Little White, Rayleigh and Lin Mo."
As soon as these three names came out, the whole place started to get restless.
"What? Lin Mo wants to go there too this time?"
