"Hey old man, how about I find you a real Conqueror's Haki Awakening as your son?!"
"What the hell did you say?!"
Whitebeard Newgate was completely stunned. He wanted to grab Lin Yuan's collar again, but apart from a pair of special shorts, there was nowhere to grab him.
Whitebeard Newgate suppressed his excitement, not even realizing that his voice had become somewhat ingratiating.
"Um, you mean it!"
Lin Yuan glared at his partner with annoyance.
"Take it or leave it. If you don't want it, forget I said anything!"
"Ahem, well, Brother Lin, do you think this old man can hold on for a few more years? If I find a promising talent like this, I'll definitely train him well, and I'll absolutely mentor a new Four Emperors!"
"Tch, you? I could train such a promising talent to become a general myself. Giving you this is a waste of your abilities!"
"Uh, you're missing someone like that? Don't you have a brother with the Rumble-Rumble Fruit? Once his strength improves, he's just as good."
"You said yourself that he's my brother, so of course the stronger the better. Besides, who wouldn't want more geniuses like that!"
Whitebeard Newgate's face twitched, feeling upset and resentful. Who could have imagined that the world's strongest man would suffer so many losses today?
At this moment, Whitebeard Newgate wanted to slap himself. Why did he invite Lin Yuan over? Was he just asking for trouble?
Moreover, even if the opponent's strength is not as good as his own, it is not much worse. Lin Yuan is not swayed by any threat of force.
However, Lin Yuan's words were incredibly enticing. A user who Awakening Conqueror's Haki —if properly trained, how could his strength be weak?
"Ahem, well, name your terms, how can you part with it?"
"Hmph, you're getting all high and mighty now. Fine, you can do me three times from now on, that's too good for you!"
Whitebeard Newgate's eyes lit up. This was great! He would agree three times, even three hundred times. He was fine now and wasn't afraid of anyone.
As for the future, if Lin Yuan doesn't use it, and I'm about to die in ten or eight years, it would be good to have one last moment of glory. This deal is definitely worth it.
"Make a deal!"
"Hmph, fine then. By the way, what do you plan to do with Blackbeard, whom I mentioned earlier?"
Whitebeard Newgate was taken aback, and his face turned cold.
"Let's leave it at that for now. Although I don't think you're lying, I absolutely cannot agree with you asking me to deal with Teach because of something that hasn't even happened yet."
"If Teach ever does that again, I'll deal with him myself. Right now, he's just my dear son!"
Lin Yuan curled his lip, knowing he couldn't persuade Whitebeard. Otherwise, he might have personally dealt with Blackbeard, but if he did, Whitebeard Newgate would definitely start a war with him.
"Brother Lin, how exactly did you know his identity?"
"What, you want to know?"
"You don't have to tell me, it's your secret after all!"
"There's not much to say. I just obtained a fruit that allowed me to travel through time, so naturally I knew a lot. It's just a pity I don't have it anymore."
"There's such a fruit!"
Whitebeard Newgate was now mostly convinced, giving Lin Yuan a deep look. No wonder he had sent Marco and the others away.
Otherwise, given their loyalty, they would have killed Teach immediately, even if it meant being punished, to eliminate this negative factor.
"By the way, in the future, you really do die at his hands, and he wipes out your pirate crew using the Dark-Dark Fruit and the Tremor-Tremor Fruit."
" Marco and the others have disappeared without a trace; the rest are either dead or have fled."
"What!"
Whitebeard Newgate was barely containing his rage, fearing he might personally kill Teach, but he managed to restrain himself.
"Sigh, I never expected him to be so ambitious. No wonder he's that person's son. I guess I'll have to be careful around him from now on."
"Tch, I thought you were going to just take them out! What a soft heart."
"No, he's the captain's son after all, and we've developed some bond over the years. I won't act unless he betrays us."
Lin Yuan stopped trying to persuade him, after all, the other party was Whitebeard, how could he possibly kill Blackbeard with just a few words from him?
"By the way, is that little guy you mentioned here? When can you send him over? Is tomorrow okay?"
"Hmph, you're dreaming. Tomorrow? Why don't you just have me bring it to you now?"
"Hehe, that's not necessarily a bad thing."
Lin Yuan was seething with hatred, but then a smile appeared on his face as if he had thought of something.
"Actually, if you'd like, I can take you to see them, but the other person's identity is a bit special, and I don't know if you dare to accept it."
"Hmph, what's there to be afraid of? I'm Whitebeard, do you think I can't even protect my own family? Tell me his identity, and I'll definitely take him in."
"Really? Do you want Roger's son?"
Whitebeard Newgate was stunned, his face showing shock again. He had been shocked countless times today, but each piece of news was more chilling than the last.
"Who did you say? Roger! Is it the Roger I'm thinking of?"
"Nonsense! Aside from Pirate King Roger, do you think finding Awakening with Conqueror's Haki is that easy? His son is thirteen years old now; he should have already Awakening Conqueror's Haki. Want to try?"
Whitebeard Newgate fell silent, seemingly lost in memories, but this time his expression wasn't somber; instead, there was a hint of a smile.
Lin Yuan curled his lips. Sure enough, Whitebeard Newgate, like Garp, truly loved the Pirate King Roger!
After an unknown amount of time, Whitebeard Newgate suddenly spoke.
Where is that child now?
"You've made up your mind?"
"Okay, it's decided!"
"Alright, I'll go back tomorrow to arrange some things. A week from now, you wait for me on Prom Island. It's on the edge of your territory, close to me, and then we'll set off."
"Good!"
For the sake of the Whitebeard Pirates ' future survival, Whitebeard Newgate decided to take a gamble.
"Sigh, I really don't know if you're lucky or unlucky. The son of the King of the World and the Pirate King have both become your son's son. Not bad!"
"Hahaha! I'm Whitebeard!"
"Yeah, yeah! In the future, I saw the son of the King of the World capture the son of the Pirate King, and some guy who claims to World's Strongest stupidly went to rescue him, and guess what happened!"
Seeing Whitebeard Newgate's previously smiling face suddenly turn gloomy, Erza, remembering Lin Yuan's injury earlier, immediately chimed in.
"Honey, what happened?"
"Hehe, you're such a good boy. Let me tell you, in that battle, the King of the World killed his own Pops who had raised him for so many years."
"Although that idiot rescued the son of the Pirate King, that son of the Pirate King, in order to save the son of the Revolutionary Army leader, ended up having his chest shattered by a single punch from Marine Admiral."
"Tsk tsk, it was so tragic! It's heartbreaking to hear about and tears to see!"
While suppressing his anger, Whitebeard Newgate was also greatly shocked, staring at Lin Yuan in horror.
"Just how much does this kid know? How did he end up with the son of the Revolutionary Army? That organization that dares to directly declare the overthrow of the World Government!"
"Could it be that kid Lin knows the other party's identity? It seems I need to get closer to this kid in the future, or I'll definitely get screwed over."
Just as Whitebeard Newgate was lost in thought, Lin Yuan suddenly smiled and said something.
"By the way, that son of the Pirate King is now apparently Garp's grandson, so how do you calculate their generation?"
"What?! Garp, that shameless bastard!"
