Giving him away? Absolutely not!
However, Zesi knew that given Whitebeard's temperament, if this matter wasn't handled properly, a full-scale war wouldn't be surprising.
It's not that Zesi was afraid of going to war with Whitebeard, but rather that going to war with Whitebeard would be a losing proposition.
Despite being able to easily kill Silver Axe, Zesi doesn't have Zesi guaranteed victory against Whitebeard.
If we're talking about the top Silver Axe in the New World, then Whitebeard is a monster.
There are only two pirates in the entire New World who can truly be called monsters.
One is Zesi himself.
The other one is Whitebeard.
Big Mom and Kaido may become monster-level beings in the future, but they are still a little short of that right now.
Back in Roger's time, Whitebeard, Golden Lion, and Roger were the three great overlords who dominated all other pirates.
This shows that his strength was originally a notch above that of Big Mom Kaido, and others.
Even without the Tremor-Tremor Fruit, Whitebeard was undoubtedly an Emperor-level monster.
It just lacks a wide-range attack move (level 25), thus lacking some strategic deterrence.
Moreover, Whitebeard is now Devil Fruit User.
That's right, Whitebeard is now Devil Fruit User.
When Zesi first heard that Whitebeard had become Devil Fruit User after leaving Wano Country, he was quite surprised.
It's important to know that Whitebeard was always very confident in his own strength.
No one in the world can threaten him, so there's absolutely no need for him to eat a Devil Fruit.
However, the Great Pirate Era made the New World increasingly harsh, and the battles increasingly arduous.
Whitebeard himself wasn't afraid, but he had a group of sons to protect him.
To protect his family and sons, Whitebeard had to find a way to become stronger.
Whitebeard's strength had reached its peak; at his level, it was virtually impossible for him to become stronger.
The only way to improve oneself is through Devil Fruit.
So, about six months ago, not long after Zesi entered Wano Country, Whitebeard found a Devil Fruit and ate it.
Zesi didn't know what Devil Fruit Whitebeard had eaten, but it was said to possess a terrifying power.
Fighting Whitebeard, who seems to have mastered some unknown Devil Fruit power, is no joke.
"This is troublesome! Contact Whitebeard, I need to meet him!" Zesi said.
" The Azure Emperor Pirates have made contact with the Whitebeard Pirates!"
" The Azure Emperor wants to meet with Whitebeard!"
"A report came from the observation ship on Pirate Hachinosu, New World pirate port: the Azure Emperor's ship has set sail. At the same time, a report came from the Whitebeard Pirates ' observation ship: the Whitebeard Pirates have also moved."
"Report: The observation ship tracking the Azure Emperor Azure Emperor was cleaved in two by his sword, making it impossible to continue tracking Azure Emperor."
"Report: The observation ship tracking the Whitebeard Pirates has been cut in two by Whitebeard..."
" The Whitebeard Pirates and the Azure Emperor have now been lost."
Alarms were constantly sounding at Marine Headquarters.
"Has it started?" Kong and Sengoku exchanged a glance and asked.
The two were not surprised at all that the observation ship had been shot down.
This was exactly what they expected.
Sending observation ships to track them is a normal practice.
If we don't send an observation ship, it will only make Zesi and Whitebeard suspect that the Navy is up to something.
"Let's go too!" Kong said, standing up.
The Navy has no need to worry about losing track of Zesi and Whitebeard, because there are spies within the Whitebeard Pirates.
With the Vivre Card they provided, the Navy had no need to worry about not being able to find a place for Zesi and Whitebeard to meet.
After Kong and Sengoku walked out of the headquarters building, they saw a large number of elite naval soldiers gathered in front of the building, and many naval officers were waiting there.
The naval contingent waiting in front of the Marine Headquarters building was undeniably impressive.
Former Marine Admiral Zephyr, Garp the Hero of the Marines, and Navy Chief of Staff Tsuru.
In addition, there are Sakazuki, Borsalino, Kuzan, Giant Vice Admiral Jahndo (the Giant), Momonga, and Yamakaji, among other of the Marine Headquarters' most powerful Vice Admiral.
Almost all of the navy's elite forces have gathered here.
In addition, there were five World Government personnel dressed in white suits and wearing masks.
Anyone with even a slight understanding of the World Government's personnel knows that they are CP0 agents directly under the Celestial Dragons. Each of these five CP0 agents possesses strength equivalent to or greater than Marine Headquarters Vice Admiral.
The leader, in particular, exuded an aura that was even more terrifying than that of Sakazuki and his two companions.
The navy personnel present were still puzzled; they didn't know why they had been summoned here.
The number 1 is so large that even former Marine Admiral Zephyr was summoned.
And then there's the World Government's Chief Prosecutor (CPO). Even the Buster Call would weep at such a spectacle.
To maintain secrecy, only Kong and Sengoku knew about the S Hunting Plan within the Navy.
Therefore, everyone present was very puzzled.
"You must have heard it just now, the Azure Emperor and Whitebeard met!"
"According to reliable sources, the Azure Emperor Pirates and the Whitebeard Pirates will soon engage in full-scale war."
"Our mission is to take them down after the great battle between the two sides, and wipe out the two Emperor of the Sea of the New World in one fell swoop!" Kong said.
Hearing Kong's words, the Marines present were deeply moved.
Taking down two Emperor of the Sea in one fell swoop?
In other words, we have to go to war with two Emperor of the Sea all at once.
This made many 657 naval personnel look grave.
At the same time, many sailors showed expressions of excitement.
These are two Emperor of the Sea! If we could take down both of the Emperor of the Sea at once, what an exciting thing that would be! "This time I will personally lead the team. Zephyr, Tsuru, the Marine Headquarters is in your hands!" At this moment, Kong said something that shocked all the Marines.
Fleet Admiral Kong has not personally gone to the battlefield for a very, very long time.
The fact that he personally took charge of this mission shows how important it is to him.
No one doubted Kong's strength; he was Fleet Admiral, a monster among monsters.
He has never been defeated in his entire career. The only time he drew was when he fought against the Red Count Red Count, where both of them were exhausted and the match ended in a draw.
The thought of deploying alongside such Fleet Admiral ignited the passion of every member of the navy. "Let's go, New World!"
On a deserted island in the New World.
The Whitebeard Pirates and the Azure Emperor Pirates entered from opposite sides of the deserted island. " Whitebeard!" " Azure Emperor!"
When the two met, neither of them said anything yet.
Captain Zesi and Whitebeard simultaneously drew their weapons and charged at each other.
This is an old habit left over from the Whitebeard Pirates and the Roger Pirates: they fight first when they meet.
