Pirates: Build a high wall from the East China Sea.

Chapter 155 Rumors
Soon after, the entire ocean began to shake as flocks of news birds flew out, carrying the newspapers to all corners of the world.

Shocked by this arrogant overlord of the East China Sea!

The man who became the Pirate King, searched for Raftel, explored the Will of D, studied history... Hiss, how dare you make such an extremely arrogant declaration?!

This guy deserves to be called the Overlord of the East China Sea. A big man is really going to emerge in the East China Sea!
It's like declaring war on the World Government in front of everyone!

New world, Whitebeard Pirates.

"Ace, stop eating meat and check out today's news. The Overlord of the East China Sea... This is your fellow countryman! This guy looks much more powerful than you!"

"15 billion Baileys just after entering the Grand Line, it's unbelievable!"

"It's 500 million, of which 1 billion is the bounty offered by that [Tianyasha] Donquixote Doflamingo!"

"Oh, I know that too. At that time, it was only 15 billion. I didn't expect that in just a few days, it had already reached billion. Some people said that when Dover was arrested, he said in front of the navy that if the overlord of the East China Sea was not captured this time, the navy would definitely regret it!"

"Hahaha, that guy was really right. I guess the navy must be regretting this now?"

"Then we have to celebrate!"

"Let's celebrate the Navy's bad luck!"

Looking at the news in the newspaper, the crew members of the Whitebeard Pirates immediately raised their glasses of wine happily and cheered loudly.

Ace, who was eating meat, couldn't help but glance at the newspaper. When he saw the guy in the golden cloak with mane in the newspaper, he was stunned for a moment, as if he thought of something, but he couldn't remember it clearly. He frowned and said distressedly, "I think I have seen this guy!"

"Of course, isn't it? He's your fellow countryman! You probably met him in the East China Sea!" The other Whitebeard crew members beside him burst into laughter. "It's rumored that he's the son of Pirate King Roger, so he's been staying in the East China Sea to restore the glory of pirates. I wonder if it's true?"

As soon as these words fell.

Ace:? ? ?
He was so confused that the flesh on his hands seemed to fall off. He stared at the newspaper with wide eyes, "That guy has a son? I absolutely don't acknowledge him as my brother? My only brother is Luffy! And..."

Ace, who had already acknowledged Whitebeard as his father, raised his head and looked at Whitebeard with a determined expression on his face.

"The only one who can be the Pirate King is Dad!"

"What brother? Ace, what are you talking about?"

"Is Luffy your brother?"

Just as everyone was looking at Ace curiously.

“Wu la la la!” The Sea Emperor, the captain of the Whitebeard Pirates, Edward Newgate, who was also reading the newspaper, laughed and said, “Maybe Ace wants this guy to become our family too!”

"Ah? Is that so?"

"I'm really looking forward to meeting this overlord of the East China Sea!"

"It's only 15 billion berries. That's higher than your bounty, Marco!"

All the crew members of the Whitebeard Pirates burst into laughter again.

"Why don't we try to invite him when we meet him?"

"We'll talk about it later!" Looking at the scene of respectful brothers in front of him, Whitebeard also showed a kind smile on his face, "Today's banquet is held for Ace."

Raise the wine bowl in your hand.

"Let's toast to Ace's joining us!"

"cheers!"

"Cheers, Ace!"

"Dad, even if you're happy today, you can't drink too much!"

After hearing what their father said, the crew members of the Whitebeard Pirates no longer thought about the overlord of the East China Sea. They all raised their glasses and cheered loudly, celebrating that they had a new brother!
As for the Overlord of the East China Sea...

Wait until you meet him before inviting him!
While all the crew members were cheering, no one noticed a man with a thick beard. After finishing his glass, he quietly found a corner and sat down. He grinned with his toothless mouth, looked at the newspaper in his hand, and laughed uncontrollably, "How interesting! Hahahaha!"

Unexpectedly, another monster appeared in the East China Sea!
It looks like he has to find the fruit quickly!
His eyes flickered slightly as he looked at the arrogant photo in the newspaper, and said in a meaningful tone, "The Overlord of the East China Sea - Hegonglaangman D. Mok!"

……

It’s also the new world, on a small island somewhere.

The Red Hair Pirates were also looking at the newspaper.

"Hahaha, I didn't expect such an interesting pirate to appear in the East China Sea?!"

"Captain, you can laugh if you want, but could you please put down the wine glass first?" Beckman, the deputy of the Red Hair Pirates, looked helplessly at the captain who was laughing, then frowned and looked at the newspaper in his hand, and said, "The Overlord of the East China Sea - Hegunlaonman D. Mok!" He flicked the ash on his hand and spoke in a solemn tone.

"It's rumored that this guy is the son of Pirate King Roger!"

“Ah? The captain’s son?” Hearing Beckman’s words, the smile on Red-Haired Shanks’ face froze for a moment. He looked at the newspaper in confusion, “Hegonlaonman D. Mok? The captain’s last name isn’t Hegonlaonman either!”

He blinked, "And this guy doesn't look like a captain!"

"It's just a rumor! I don't know if it's true or not!"

"I also heard a rumor that this East China Sea Overlord has been staying in the East China Sea to inherit his father's will and restore the glory of the East China Sea pirates. I heard that he started to conquer the Grand Line this time because his partners were killed by the admirals of the navy. He was angry and wanted to enter the Grand Line to declare war on the World Government and the Navy!"

"Is that the rumor? I've heard about it too. That battle was so fierce that the sky collapsed and the sea was frozen. It was so terrible! It was also during that battle that most of the Don Quixote Family's cadres were killed by the Navy Admiral, which led to the final decline of the Don Quixote Family and allowed the Navy Admiral to discover the secret of Dressrosa!"

"I also heard a rumor that there is a corrupt navy in the East China Sea who really likes to play with female pirates. A female pirate who was a member of the Don Quixote family became the plaything of that corrupt colonel!"

"Is this true? Are you so good at playing?"

"I don't know if it's true. Just like the rumors about the East China Sea Overlord, I just heard them!"

"Let's not talk about these anymore. Let's talk about the East Sea Overlord! Is he very powerful?"

"I don't know, but he must be very powerful to be able to get the World Government to offer a bounty of 10 million berries and the Joker to offer a bounty of billion berries!"

While the crew members of the Red Hair Pirates were happily chatting about these rumors, a guy wearing a black hat with white fur on it and carrying a huge machete on his back was also looking at the newspaper. His expression was different from that of the other members of the Red Hair Pirates. His face looked quite strange, as if he had something to say, but for some reason he didn't say it.

But this expression was still noticed by the confused Shanks, who turned around and looked at him, saying cheerfully, "Mihawk, what's wrong with you? Oh, by the way, you said you went to the East China Sea some time ago. Have you seen the overlord of the East China Sea?"

The words fell.

Mihawk:…

He didn't seem to want to answer this question, but under the curious gaze of the Red Hair Pirates, he was silent for a moment, nodded, opened his mouth expressionlessly, and said, "I have seen you!"

"You really have seen him before! From your appearance... have you fought him before?" Ben Beckman frowned at Mihawk. If they had just met, Mihawk would definitely not have this expression. After a moment of hesitation, he said, "How strong is this East Sea Overlord?"

"……good!"

only.

When I saw Mihawk open his mouth with difficulty and utter these two words.

"Sigh~"

All the crew members of the Red Hair Pirates were shocked. They frowned and looked at Mihawk in disbelief.

"You look more than just okay!"

"Is this East Sea Overlord really that powerful? No wonder there is such a high bounty!"

"Could it be that these rumors are true?"

The crew members who were originally just curious about the rumors suddenly became serious. Even Shanks looked at the photo in the newspaper again. After looking at it for a while, he frowned and muttered, "Why doesn't he look like the captain at all?"

But after muttering something, he seemed to have forgotten the doubts in his mind, raised his glass again, and said cheerfully, "Forget it, don't think about it too much, let's ask him when we see him!"

"Hahaha, he is still the captain after all!"

"Should we invite him to join our crew then?"

"He's someone who can get Mihawk's approval and is the son of the former Pirate King. We must make him a member of our crew!"

"???"

Who recognized this guy?
But before Mihawk, who had a sullen face, could say anything, Shanks beside him raised his glass again cheerfully, "Let's toast to the captain's son! Come on, Mihawk, you too!"

"..."

Forget it, he didn't plan to say anything!

Although I don’t know what the colonel is thinking, he has promised not to expose the identity of the East China Sea overlord!

He also raised his glass and said expressionlessly, "Cheers!"

The Pirate King's son...

What a hell!
What on earth does that guy want to do?
