In an instant, Teach and Beckman were locked in combat, their terrifying auras radiating outwards in all directions! At this moment, Teach displayed superb fighting skills, and his powerful physique allowed him to fight Beckman to a standstill.

the other side……

With the addition of Little Ma, the pressure on Vista and the others was greatly reduced. At least with Little Ma to resist Hawkeye Mihawk's slashes, they wouldn't be sent flying by Mihawk's sword before they could even get close to him.

However, neither Hawkeye Mihawk's side nor Beckman's side are the key to this battle! The real key battle is between the two captains, Whitebeard Edward Newgate and Red-Haired Shanks.

"boom!!"

The terrifying, domineering aura of both resounded through the heavens!

It feels like just yesterday that the legendary battle between Whitebeard Edward Newgate and Pirate King Gol D. Roger has been reenacted before the world once again!

"Shanks, since you inherited Roger's power, you should have also inherited Roger's mindset, but I can't see even a trace of Roger in your actions now! You bastard, have you become a lackey of the World Government?!"

Edward Newgate said coldly to Shanks in front of him.

"Whitebeard, you seem to have misunderstood! From the very beginning, as a member of the Figarand family, the option of becoming a dog of the World Government has never existed for me!"

"Because from the very beginning, the World Government has been the dog of the Figarand family. You seem to have the hierarchy wrong! Think about it carefully. If I really intended to return to the World Government, I wouldn't be meeting you in this capacity..."

"Since I chose the path of becoming a pirate, I never thought of returning to the World Government to become a World Noble and one of the high and mighty Celestial Dragons!"

"Compared to the current captain of the Knights of God, Figarand Garin, Captain Roger, who raised me, was more like a father figure to me..."

Shanks stared coldly at Whitebeard, his Griffin sword continuously releasing its Haki.

"Um?!"

Upon hearing this, Whitebeard's pupils dilated sharply, a hint of confusion flashing across his face. He looked at Shanks with a puzzled expression and asked, "Then why are you so obsessed with defeating me?! Are you after me for the title of strongest? A man like you shouldn't care about such empty titles, right?!"

"Whitebeard, don't you understand now?!"

"It's not that I want to challenge you, nor that I want the strongest position beneath you!"

"It's just that this era no longer needs old guys like you..."

"You have become an outcast of this era! As time goes by, one day in this new era, there will be no ship left to carry you. At that time, only death will be laid out before you. This is the path you can take!"

"I don't want to see the man who once rivaled Captain Roger, the man who was once hailed as the strongest man in the world, perish on this merciless sea! So take my advice and disband the Whitebeard Pirates! Edward Newgate!"

Shanks spoke from the bottom of his heart to the white-bearded man before him.

Yes, everyone thought that Shanks's obsession with fighting Whitebeard was for the title of strongest under Whitebeard! But in reality, only Shanks himself knew that he didn't want to see the legend who roamed the seas die again!

Roger, the Golden Lion, the Red Earl...

There are already enough legends buried on this sea!

Shanks had some selfish motives; he didn't want the invincible Whitebeard to end up as a hero in his twilight years, dying at the hands of his own brother, Char.

"Ha ha……"

"Shanks, you're really too sentimental!"

"But who needs your worries?! Who do you think I am?!"

"I am Edward Newgate, the strongest man in the world with a white beard!"

"I'm not old enough to need to worry about a brat who hasn't even grown his first hair! Go find somewhere cool and get lost, brat!!"

Newgate naturally knew what Shanks was worried about...

In fact, he had already foreseen his own fate long after Roger, Shiki, and Redfield were executed by the World Government! For the strongmen of that era, dying at the hands of the World Government and the Navy seemed to be the best outcome.

Shanks looked at Whitebeard and said angrily.

"Then give it a try!"

"Will I die at sea, or will my undefeated legend continue..."

"Let me stake my fate on this new era!"

Whitebeard roared with laughter, unleashing his power in a burst of madness, sending Shanks flying with a single punch! Instantly, the entire sky and sea trembled with Whitebeard's power. The waves, summoned by him, rose thousands of feet high, threatening to engulf everything in the world. Even Zunesha, seeing this, felt its scalp tingle and temporarily retreated! This was the power of the world's strongest man, the power Sengoku spoke of, enough to destroy the entire world…

"Who do you think I am?!"

"I am Edward Newgate the Whitebeard!!"

"Kura la la la..."

Amidst wild laughter and overwhelming domineering aura, roaring waves crashed down from the sky!

Is the world about to end?!

At this point, countless pirates were filled with immense shock.

"boom!!"

Suddenly, the waves crashed down!

a week later.

Shocking! The legendary pirate, once hailed as the "Strongest Man in the World" alongside "Pirate King" Roger and "Golden Lion" Shiki, clashes with the "Four Emperors" of the New World, Edward Newgate and Shanks, in the New World!

News of Whitebeard fighting Shanks swept the world.

No one knew the outcome of the battle! All they knew was that the battle between the Red-Haired Pirates and the Whitebeard Pirates lasted for three days and three nights.

Meanwhile, on a deserted island.

"Captain, all the crew members are here..."

The entire Red-Haired Pirates, looking like drowned rats, lit a campfire on the island to warm themselves and dry their clothes!

The battle ended with Whitebeard, disregarding all martial ethics, continuously unleashing his Devil Fruit powers, creating a massive tsunami that capsized the Red-Haired Pirates' ship...

After Shanks discovered that his beloved ship had been capsized by Whitebeard, he lost the will to continue fighting Whitebeard and chose to retreat tactically with his crew!

As for Whitebeard, after seeing Shanks retreat, he did not choose to pursue him.

Then, Shanks and his crew spent half a day rescuing all of their crew members who had been swept into the sea by Whitebeard's tsunami from the deep sea!

Shanks only managed to do this after asking his fishman friends for help...

After rescuing his crew, Shanks did not choose to continue with their next plan, but instead used the deserted island as a base to rest and recuperate!

"That wretched old man with the white beard, he's really ruthless!"

"He's actually using his Devil Fruit ability continuously. He's not exactly young anymore, why is he pushing himself so hard?! Isn't he afraid of hurting his back?!"

On the deserted island, Yasopp and Lachle stuffed grilled fish into their mouths while angrily condemning Whitebeard's unsportsmanlike conduct.

"In short, we failed..."

Beckman sat on a stone bench, smoking a cigarette as he spoke.

"You bastard, you still smoke? You weren't even affected by the waves Whitebeard unleashed, were you?! In other words, you didn't even give it your all in the battle against the Whitebeard Pirates..."

Yasopp glanced at the cigarette in Beckman's hand and said with envy.

"I've done my best..."

"But that guy named Teach is too strong!"

In response, Beckman rolled up his sleeves, revealing scars on his wrists, and spoke calmly.

"Forehead……"

When everyone saw the scars on Beckman's wrist, they fell silent.

"You drew that yourself, didn't you?!"

In response, Yasopp looked at Beckman and questioned him.

"I can't be bothered with you..."

Beckman's eyelids twitched slightly, then he let out a cold snort...

Immediately afterwards, Beckman started puffing on his cigarette, ignoring the annoying Yasopp.

"Bulu Bulu..."

"Click..."

Meanwhile, Shanks is on the phone with someone.

"I regret to inform you that my plan to persuade you to surrender appears to have failed!"

"That old man with the white beard is just as you predicted, far too stubborn! He simply won't listen to any advice, and I'm powerless to help him..."

"So I'll leave the rest to you! No matter what the final result is, I will have absolutely no complaints. I've done my best..."

Shanks said helplessly after someone answered the Den Den Mushi.

"Ha ha……"

"I told you long ago, Whitebeard won't listen to reason!"

"Now, I need to prepare for action..."

Upon hearing this, the person on the phone with Shanks chuckled softly, then hung up immediately, preparing to begin their own operation.

"it's all over!"

After confirming that the Den Den Mushi had hung up, Shanks casually placed the Den Den Mushi beside him, then looked up at the sun, a hint of gloom flashing in his eyes.

On the other side, in the East China Sea, on Dong Island, at the Windmill Village...
