The Whitebeard Pirates were annihilated!
nonsense!
How could I not care or be envious?
Whitebeard may have been aloof, but that doesn't mean his 'sons' all shared the same awareness.
If Whitebeard had been willing to compete with Roger for the title of Pirate King, they would have killed themselves as a sacrifice!
Unfortunately, no.
So much so that when Roger returned as the Pirate King and ushered in the Great Pirate Era, they were filled with envy.
You've already gone to sea to become a pirate, and you're telling me you're not after fame or fortune? Doesn't that seem a bit too fake?
Even the main character, Luffy, has 'greed'. He gets extremely happy every time he sees his bounty skyrocket.
But Abel, who was invincible in his time, did not have such troubles.
He is still very young.
This made it impossible for the Whitebeard Pirates to retaliate, which was very frustrating.
A verbal argument can easily escalate into a physical fight, resulting in a full-blown brawl.
What's more, these are pirates who are known for their fiery tempers.
As a result, some people got angry and started arguing, neither willing to back down.
The reason why they didn't start fighting directly is that they lacked a trigger that could ignite the conflict.
Secondly, he still had a sliver of reason left.
Neither captain had spoken yet, so they had to remain restrained.
Whoever makes the first move will bear the greatest pressure.
Don't forget, this is a banquet.
Seeing that a fight was about to break out, Abel was so angry he laughed.
Blackbeard, that rat dropping, is truly a powerful troublemaker.
Having stirred up the anger of both sides, he has now gracefully retreated and hidden behind the crowd.
This has made many people forget who started the argument in the first place.
Although that no longer matters.
"It seems today's wine has quite a kick."
"Since everyone is so enthusiastic and has so much energy to spare, I suggest we put on a little show to help with digestion, how about that?"
Abel's suggestion made Whitebeard slightly raise his eyelids.
Chapter 1001 An Unsuccessful Start
To be honest, Whitebeard's temper was rising as he was repeatedly crushed by Roger's attacks.
Even when Roger was still alive, the two were good friends.
It was even the kind of close relationship that allowed them to lend out their own crew members.
So what if it's One Piece?
Even Roger, who became the Pirate King, wouldn't dare to act so arrogantly in front of him, using the title of Pirate King to provoke him.
What's more, it's now!
But given Whitebeard's status and position, he disdained to argue with some 'small fry'.
If it weren't for Abel's sake, he would have already punched them all and killed them instantly.
However, the suggestion Abel made at this moment was quite interesting.
As the saying goes, blocking is not as good as dredging, and dredging is not as good as guiding.
Now that both sides are on edge, it's unlikely they'll be able to get together and drink happily like they did before.
That requires a very strong will to accomplish.
So instead of each of us glaring at each other with anger, we should find a way to let everyone vent their frustrations.
Who sparked this incident?
Without a doubt, it's Marshall Teach!
This guy wanted to distance himself from the matter, but Abel wouldn't let him have his way.
Meanwhile, the Whitebeard Pirates were also seething with anger and nowhere to vent it.
Abel then gave them a chance.
An opportunity to beat Teach to a pulp.
Of course, the premise is that you have to have the ability.
Otherwise, Teach will just keep shoving his face at you.
"Since we're all pirates, let's follow the rules of pirates."
"Anyone who is unhappy with Teach should stand up for themselves."
"If you win, you can vent your anger by mocking me all you want. If you lose, there's nothing to complain about; just admit that you're not as good as your opponent."
"Of course, it's just a friendly spar, nothing more, let's not kill anyone."
"Captain Edward, what do you think of this proposal?"
Whitebeard thought about it carefully and decided it was a pretty good idea.
In the world of pirates, the strong rule, and the weak are always wrong.
Since the conflict has already arisen, there's nothing wrong with letting them fight.
Before Whitebeard could even give an answer, Teach, who was standing at the back of the crowd, became anxious.
"President, isn't this a bit too hasty? I only just got the Devil Fruit not long ago, so... the outcome is hard to predict."
"I don't care if I lose to these guys, I'm just afraid of embarrassing you."
"Why don't we find someone else? Our Dragon Hunter Guild is full of talented people, it's not my turn to steal the spotlight."
Teach inwardly groaned; he really didn't want to be in the limelight.
It's not that he's sentimental or that he'd be unable to bring himself to fight his former comrades.
He's overthinking it; his dilemma is simply that he doesn't want to stand out too much.
Because everyone in the Whitebeard Pirates knew what kind of strength he was, and then after just a few days, he suddenly went from Private First Class to Admiral, isn't that ridiculous!
When the time comes, everyone will have to think it over and realize that he has a big problem.
But if he performs poorly, then it's even worse.
How did someone with such terrible skills manage to win the Dragon Hunting Tournament?
Moreover, having lost so much face, how could anyone possibly like him in the future?
Doesn't this prove that he's just unwanted trash?
Without all these twists and turns, Teach would have dared to beat his opponent to a pulp.
It's a pity that I'm afraid of whatever comes next.
The more Teach tried to avoid it, the more determined Abel became with this idea.
"Teach, you are one of the seven who ultimately won the Dragon Hunting Tournament."
"Even if we haven't fully developed the power of the Devil Fruit, we should never be afraid before the battle even begins."
"Besides, the fight hasn't even started yet, how do you know you definitely can't win? Are you planning to throw the match against your former teammates?"
Teach's heart skipped a beat, and he quickly chuckled and said, "Of course not."
"That's enough. It's just a friendly spar. Let's settle this."
Abel acted swiftly and decisively, taking advantage of his position as chairman, and didn't give Teach any further chance to refuse.
Whitebeard nodded in agreement, "Let's do it this way. Whoever is confident, step forward and stand up."
Wow!
Before he finished speaking, hundreds of people surged forward.
They've been itching to teach that bastard Teach a lesson for ages.
There just hadn't been any good opportunities before.
But now that the opportunity has come, they certainly want to seize it.
It's clear that Teach is incredibly good at disguising himself.
As a result, these people had no idea of Teach's true strength.
They all thought they had gotten a bargain.
Seeing this, Whitebeard proudly raised his head.
That basically means that the Whitebeard Pirates are full of talented people, and Teach is nothing special. Any one of them could easily defeat him, so it's just that you guys treat him like a treasure.
Abel chuckled but made no comment.
In any case, anyone who underestimated Teach ended up suffering a great loss.
Although he considered Teach an unstable bomb and wanted to eliminate him, no one could deny the considerable power of this bomb before he was eliminated.
Among these people, only Marco and a few other captains with strong abilities have a chance.
The rest, even if they went up, were destined to get beaten up.
Seeing how eagerly they wanted to rush forward and get beaten, Abel silently mourned for them for a few seconds.
"So many people want to beat me up? Let me think, who should I give this good opportunity to?"
