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

Chapter 247 Afterwards
Holy Land Marie Gioia.

Inside the world's highest center of power.

At this moment, the Five Elders were having a fierce dispute.

"Are you going to agree to the red-haired man's request just like that?"

"What else? Will we really start a full-scale war? You know, we are not ready yet!"

"It's a pity that Vegapunk hasn't been found yet. Caesar is a fool. Now the artificial human project can only be shelved."

"Perhaps those rebels from the Revolutionary Army stole Vegapunk."

"Those poor fellows in the Revolutionary Army can't afford to support Vegapunk, and now is not the time to mess with Vegapunk. Let's talk about the problem of the East Sea Overlord! This public execution failed, and that guy said something terrible again!"

"What else can we do? We have already given the Navy Headquarters a chance, but that bunch of rubbish has not dealt with the East Sea Overlord for such a long time. Are they really going to start a full-scale war with the Four Emperors of the Sea?"

"How come the Figalando family gave birth to such a nasty child?"

"Three of the Four Emperors came, and there is also Pluto Rayleigh. It was really bad, and we had no choice but to stop. As promised, Red Hair and the crew left behind by the Pirate King will announce to the sea that the so-called East China Sea Overlord is not the Pirate King's son."

"A pirate's promise? That's ridiculous!"

"But this is enough. As long as the so-called Four Emperors of Pirates do not cause chaos, it is enough. Instead of hastily starting a war, it is better to wait. As for other pirates... our threat has never been those pirates who only know how to burn, kill and loot!"

“No one is worry-free!”

"Then how should I explain it to Zhan Guo?"

"We explain to him? Are you kidding? Even if he's the Admiral of the Navy, so what? He's just a dog of the World Government. If he doesn't want to be one, there are others who do! We've clearly given him the chance, but he didn't know how to seize it!"

"He's already here! Right outside!"

"Well, let him in!"

As a cold voice fell, the luxurious door was suddenly opened, and Zhan Guo, who had been waiting outside, walked in with a cold face.

……

And here is the Whitebeard Pirates.

Although they won the war, it was only a pyrrhic victory.

Therefore, when they ran back to the ship and found that the companions they had been drinking with last night were gone today, a feeling of sadness instantly spread throughout the entire Whitebeard Pirates.

But after a simple memorial service, the sad atmosphere eased a little.

After all, as men of the sea, they were ready to die the moment they embarked on the adventure.

and……

As a pirate, since he won, and won so beautifully, of course he had to hold a banquet to celebrate.

And they also have to toast their sacrificed brothers on the sea and tell them that the Whitebeard Pirates have won again.

"Let's toast to our sacrificed brothers! Cheers to the victory of the Whitebeard Pirates and the Mok brothers!"

Everyone raised their glasses of wine.

Similarly... Teach, who was reborn, also raised his glass, but not for his so-called brothers, but for his own new life and his own dreams.

really.

His dream won't die so easily!

Even though he was now covered in bandages with only his eyes and mouth exposed, he still wanted to toast himself for his new life.

After a full glass of wine went into his stomach, Tiqi's eyes turned red and he muttered, "It's so good to be alive!"

Obviously, this incident had nothing to do with him. He just went on board to ease the relationship between the half-brothers. So why did he have to suffer this kind of crime?

At this time.

Just when Teach was feeling how great it was to be alive.

"By the way, Teach, where's Brother Mok?" The captain of the Whitebeard Third Division, [Diamond] Joz, came over with a wine glass and said with some worry on his face, "I wonder if he will be okay after sinking to the bottom of the sea?"

As soon as these words fell.

The Whitebeard Pirates crew members also came to their senses, and worry appeared in their eyes, even Ace.

Although he did not acknowledge his half-brother at first, after spending some time with him, he actually began to accept that guy a little.

Many people say that the guy is very similar to One Piece. Maybe he is the one who will inherit the will of One Piece!

As for myself...it might just be an accident to that Pirate King.

"Ace, what's wrong with you? Are you worried about your brother?" Marco saw Ace's lost eyes, walked over, smiled and said, pulling Ace back to his senses, then patted Ace on the shoulder and said with a smile, "Don't worry, Mr. Rayleigh won't harm the Mok brothers, and I heard that Mr. Rayleigh has a good relationship with the mermen in the Sabaody Archipelago. Maybe he has asked for the help of the mermen?"

"Mr. Rayleigh does have a good relationship with Fishman Island!" Jinbei also came over and said in a muffled voice, "Of course, I came here secretly this time and I don't know the situation on Fishman Island. I will ask after I return."

Just saying that... there was a hint of worry in his eyes.

After all, this time in order to rescue the Teach brothers, he left the Sun Pirates and acted in his own capacity.

I don't know if this will implicate Fishman Island?

"Thief hahaha! That's right." At this time, Teach, who had returned to the Whitebeard Pirates and played the role of a good guy again, also came over and said happily, "My life was also saved by Brother Mok. Don't worry, I will definitely help find Brother Mok!"

"Teach, you should have a good rest now! Also... remember to take a bath frequently in the future. I didn't know where to start when I treated you just now. No wonder the water turned black every time you soaked your feet!"

"Thief... Hahaha! Maybe he's been in prison for too long and his body is a little dirty!" Teach smiled awkwardly, and then quickly changed the subject and said, "By the way, we are talking about Brother Mok now. Ace is very worried about his brother. How about we arrange someone to check around? Speaking of which, I'm worried about him too! After all, Brother Mok fell into this state just to save me!"

"That's right, Ace, don't worry, we will send people out to look for it! We can also ask the Red Hair Pirates later."

"And Brother Mok is so strong. To be honest, that thunder really scared me. Even Teach, who has thick skin and flesh, was seriously injured and his whole body was burnt. But Brother Mok was not hurt at all and didn't even fall down!" "It's so domineering! No wonder he is called the Overlord of the East China Sea!"

"So, I think you should worry about Brother Teach instead of Brother Mok!"

"Gulala! If you have any troubles, you can tell me about it, Dad!"

"Yes, because we are a family!"

Everyone came over and tried to comfort Ace one by one!

And seeing this scene...

Ace's inner loss suddenly disappeared, and he looked at the people in front of him with a smile on his face.

Marco, Jozu, Thatch, Vista, Teach... and Dad, Luffy and... Sabo!
Maybe his birth was just an accident, but now he has found his own family.

Ace shook his head and said with a smile, "I'm not worried about him. I don't need to worry about that guy either!"

He raised his head, "He is the man known as the Overlord of the East China Sea, and a contender for the Pirate King! Of course, I won't give up, the only one who can become the Pirate King is Dad!"

"That's right, Dad is the Pirate King!"

"Even if it's Brother Mok, we won't let him go!"

"Let's drink to Daddy!"

"Gulala, my old man! I have found my great secret treasure! The new era belongs to you!"

As Ace finished his words, suddenly... the Whitebeard Pirates cheered again.

……

And the other side.

Just as Marco said, Rayleigh was indeed well prepared.

only.

There seemed to be a slight accident in this preparation.

"What?" Rayleigh spurted out the wine in his mouth. He looked at the octopus in front of him with a confused face and said, "The man ran away? He ran away in front of the fish man? Are you kidding me? That place is in the sea!"

"I'm sorry, Mr. Rayleigh." Hearing Rayleigh's words, Octopus Hachi lowered his head in shame and said, "But he did run away in front of me!"

When the overlord of the East China Sea fell into the sea, he did swim over to rescue him. However, when he was halfway there, a tornado suddenly rolled up behind the guy.

then.

With a whoosh, the person ran away.

He threw his hands away and paddled hard but couldn't catch up!
"Forget it, since he ran away on his own, that's all that can be done. Hahaha~, what an unexpected guy!" Hearing what Xiao Ba said, Rayleigh smiled helplessly and drank his wine in big gulps, saying, "As unexpected as that idiot captain!"

As he spoke, he seemed to notice something and looked up. He looked at Xiao Ba who had suddenly fallen silent and lowered his head. He thought he was blaming himself, so he shook his head and said with a smile, "This is none of your business. Don't blame yourself. I have to thank you for your help this time!"

"This is what I should do." Xiao Ba nodded, then hesitated for a moment and said, "Mr. Rayleigh, have you met the colonel of the 16th Marine Branch?"

"The rebel leader? I saw him!" Rayleigh was stunned and looked at Xiao Ba in confusion, "What happened?"

Then he said cheerfully, "That guy is very strong. Are all the young people nowadays monsters?"

"Nothing! Just asking a quick question." Xiao Ba shook his head, a hint of complexity flashing across his eyes.

That guy... has he grown to this point?

When he and Aaron were captured, he took the opportunity to escape on the way to Push City with the rat colonel.

I originally thought I would never see that guy again, but I didn't expect to see him again in this way.

Of course, he didn't do it for revenge, but...he felt that if they met again, he should probably apologize solemnly to that little girl.

and……

He always felt that he had met the overlord of the East China Sea before?

Just like seeing it next to... that guy?
"Maybe I just saw it wrong!" Xiao Ba frowned and muttered, "After all, the navy and the pirates... How is this possible? And I heard that guy was merciless when he attacked the East China Sea Overlord on the execution platform!"

"What do you mean mercilessly?"

"Hey... I'm fine!"

"Nothing? We should go back next. Xia Qi must be worried about us." After hearing what Xiao Ba said, Rayleigh didn't care. He turned his head and looked at the calm sea in front of him. He took another sip of wine and said with a smile, "What a pity. I was planning to meet him this time, but he ran away! Anyway, as long as we are in this sea, we will meet sooner or later!"

Roger, your son...

But just like you, what a courageous fellow!
……

at the same time.

In the office of Admiral Sengoku at the Navy Headquarters.

After returning from the World Government, Sengoku fell into silence and stayed in his office in a daze.

only.

It didn't take long.

"What are you doing?" Zhan Guo came back to his senses, raised his head with a dark face, looked at Garp who was waving his hands in front of him, and shouted loudly, "Don't you see, I'm thinking!"

"Ah? Are you thinking? I thought you were scolded by the Five Elders and were feeling down, so I was going to comfort you!" Hearing what Sengoku said, Garp didn't care. While eating snacks, he said happily, "By the way, what happened? You've been in a daze since you came back!"

"What happened?" Zhan Guo showed a bitter smile on his face, "It seems we have made a big joke!"
