Whitebeard now vividly recalled the image of that female navy woman from his memories.
After finally refusing her request to board the ship, the disappointed yet complex look in her eyes made Whitebeard feel somewhat melancholy.
" Pops, I've brought the bounty and the intelligence."
To get the things to his Pops as quickly as possible, Marco conjured a pair of blue wings and flew over.
Whitebeard quickly took it and began to read the intelligence carefully.
Her Kazi, whose parents' identities are unknown, was born in the East Blue. He set sail at the age of 18 in the 1510th year of the Sea Circle Calendar and fought against Red-Haired Shanks, the two sides were evenly matched.
(Let's stick to the old timeline and not the one with the betrayal; it'll be easier to follow that way.)
He fought Smoker, and Smoker was completely defeated.
He fought Aokiji and retreated calmly after a long battle.

"18 years old..."
"You'll be 19 this year."
Whitebeard picked up the wanted poster again and examined it carefully.
"Those eyes, that nose, that face shape—it's exactly the same as Navia's."
"There's no mistake, and considering his surname, he's definitely Navia's child."
Whitebeard had glanced at Kazu's bounty poster before, and at the time he only thought it looked slightly familiar, without giving it much thought.
"That full head of blond hair..."
"Like me."
Whitebeard seemed to be caught up in some kind of thought, and the more he thought about it, the more plausible it seemed.
Navia's sudden withdrawal from the Navy must be because she discovered she was pregnant.
Her Kazi and Navia look so alike that they don't even need a paternity test; Whitebeard can tell they're mother and son.
Judging from the timeline, Navia left the navy about eighteen and a half years before she went to sea, and she was exactly eighteen years old when she did.
Navia has black hair, which means the child's father must be a blond man.
He knew perfectly well that Navia had been captured by him for a period of time, and that he was the only one who had ever touched her during that time.
That's why Navia fell in love with him and wanted to leave the Navy to join his pirate crew.
He felt sorry for Navia and didn't want her to live such an unstable life with him, so he cruelly rejected her and told her to return to the Marine Headquarters for a safe and stable life.
If Navia found a man after returning to the Navy, then this Her Kazi couldn't have been born while Navia was three or four months pregnant, could he?
Therefore, considering Navia's ten-month pregnancy, she could only have become pregnant on his Moby Dick.
In addition, according to what his "good son" Kazu brought over earlier, Navia sent him to collect the debts from back then.
Need I say more?
He's probably still blaming himself for rejecting her and sending her back to the navy.
Whitebeard grew increasingly excited as he thought about it, and even the hand holding the bounty poster trembled slightly.
I thought to myself, when I run into a really good guy, I'll definitely give way to him, as a way of making it up to him.
All these years, he hasn't fulfilled his responsibilities as a father. It's really tough on Navia, raising her child all by herself and making her so outstanding that she can now fight against Marine Admiral.
Navia has been away from the Navy for almost twenty years. Now that she's letting her child go to sea, she probably doesn't intend to stay hidden any longer.
Let's bring her aboard the Moby Dick then, so she won't keep blaming me, and I can properly explain that my good intentions back then weren't because I disliked her.
This was absolutely a great joy for Whitebeard.
For him, who loved having sons, nothing could make him happier than suddenly having another biological son.
I'm already over sixty years old, and I don't have much time left in my life.
In his final days, his wife and son were by his side; God had been kind to him.
Whitebeard looked at his sons again; they would have one more brother by then.
" Pops, are you alright? Let me check on you."
Marco noticed that Whitebeard's large hands were trembling slightly and assumed that something was wrong with his health. As the ship's doctor, he quickly went over to check on his Pops.
"I'm fine, Marco."
"I was just thinking about some happy things."
Whitebeard's words left Marco and his sons somewhat confused.
Happy things?
Could it be, Pops, that your wife gave birth?
Of course, no one said much. With their Pops being so powerful, how could anything unexpected happen to him?
" Desenke, tell Bagley to give Her Kazi Den Den Mushi that can directly contact the Moby Dick."
"Tell him that if he wants to challenge me, Whitebeard, after arriving in the New World, just give me a call, and I'll be waiting for him here."
"Alright, sons, let's continue the banquet!"
"Aww!"
