I just want to find a job, and then become a Navy Admiral.

On the Grand Line, there are islands with spring, summer, autumn and winter.

In the New World, this peculiar phenomenon is even more common.

At this moment, on a mountain on a winter island, a grand banquet is being held.

As for the reason for holding the banquet...

Because their captain woke up and said he had a wonderful dream.

That's it.

However, the atmosphere at the banquet was somewhat subtle. What was originally a pleasant banquet turned into a scene of cheers and jubilation among all the pirates present.

Right now, everyone is just holding wine glasses and looking at their captain, Shanks, one of the Four Emperors of the New World.

His face was filled with shock and horror, and even more so with disbelief.

All sorts of expressions and gazes were focused on Shanks.

"Hmph~~" Suddenly, Shanks smiled faintly, seemingly disappointed and helpless. "Is he dead already? Kaido, we just fought just now."

As he said this, the youngest emperor of the sea smiled, picked up the wine bottle in front of him, gently poured wine into the Jianzhan (a type of ancient Chinese wine vessel), and then poured the wine out to one side of the Jianzhan.

With that smile on her face, she murmured softly, "Indeed, on this vast ocean, everyone is treated fairly."

The pirates on the surrounding red-haired pirate ship pursed their lips as they watched their captain's calm and composed demeanor, some even showing signs of anxiety.

They even held a memorial service for Kaido?

"That's true, but..." Shanks looked up at his crew, then grinned, "Why was the banquet stopped! Were you scared by that Marine?"

"..."

The pirates looked helpless.

But soon the pirates started talking to Shanks.

"Boss! Now is not the time for a banquet! Kaido is dead, the Beasts Pirates are gone, and especially now that someone in the Navy has appeared who can kill Kaido, and we don't even know who it is..."

"We should send someone to investigate that marine's identity."

"Yes! With such a monster appearing, you'd better say something already!"

"Boss, now that the Beasts Pirates are gone, can't we just take over Kaido's territories?"

……

Listening to his subordinates chattering amongst themselves, Shanks chuckled and picked up his bottle: "What are you all talking about? The sea is full of endless possibilities. It's no big deal that the Navy has produced a monster like this. Besides, we'd run into him sooner or later anyway. Thinking about him now is a bit of a downer. Don't forget, we were chased all over the world by the Navy back in the day! Escaping from the Navy is one of the joys of being a pirate."

As he spoke, he raised the wine bottle in his hand and poured a drink for the newcomer next to him who had just been carrying wine and doing odd jobs.

The newlywed was flustered and quickly said, "Thank you very much."

Shanks smiled slightly: "As for Kaido's territory, I have no intention of taking it."

The subordinates standing to the side looked at their leader with astonishment.

One by one, they hesitated, as if they wanted to say something but couldn't.

After all, while the navy's terror is one thing, now is the perfect time to take action against Kaido's territory!

*Smack*

The man who had been sitting in the chair the whole time, Beckman, the vice-captain of the Red-Haired Pirates, lit a cigarette and looked at Shanks: "Wano Country..."

Upon hearing this, Shanks laughed and said, "I didn't go before because it was my own private matter. How could I take you guys on an adventure to start a war? Besides, Oden-nii explicitly refused my help. Now that Kaido is dead, I'm even less likely to go. It's better to leave it to Momoko and Hyuga to fulfill Oden-nii's wish."

Beckman gently exhaled a smoke ring and said nothing more.

After taking a sip of his drink, the redhead chuckled and said, "But we still need to keep an eye on our territory."

Beckman looked at the redhead.

The redhead said, "Many people might think I'm easy to bully and want to give it a try."

……

A new world, on a certain sea.

The Moby Dick, now fully restored, was filled with pirates of all shapes and sizes. At first glance, it looked like they were having a meeting around the old man sitting in the middle of the deck, but upon closer inspection, it looked more like they were having a meal together.

Right now, on the massive Moby Dick, bottles and other such items are scattered everywhere.

But just like the Red-Haired Pirates, all the pirates stared in astonishment at Edward Newgate, one of the Four Emperors, who was sitting upright.

All the pirates looked surprised.

"That can't be real... That's Kaido."

"If Morgans dared to write it, it means it's true. Besides, didn't Jack and Hanafuda get killed by that Marine named Suan a while ago?"

"Was this also done by Su An?"

"Don't joke around. Even if Su An, a young man, had the strength to kill Jack and the others, he must have used some kind of method. But we all know Kaido's strength. How could that brat possibly kill Kaido? It must have been all three admirals who were dispatched!"

And just as the pirates were saying this...

"Gurarararar, Kaido left in this way, huh?" This being, known as the strongest man in the world, let out a strange laugh while sighing softly.

But the next moment...

Snapped!

Whitebeard picked up the gourd beside him and gulped down a few mouthfuls before casually tossing the huge gourd into the air.

boom!

The gourd suddenly exploded.

The sea breeze dispersed the liquor.

The white-bearded man laughed again, "Gurararara, that brat must have been terrified and begged for mercy back then."

But as he spoke, the white-bearded man looked up into the air and murmured, "Another one from that ship from back then has died."

The members of the Whitebeard Pirates looked at Whitebeard, exchanging glances, but no one dared to interrupt the old man's thoughts.

Finally, a blue merman spoke up: "Although I'm not sure if I can find out, I'm available anytime if you need me to investigate who did it."

The white-bearded man looked down at the blue fish-man and smiled gently, "No need to take risks, Jinbe! Besides, every era is bound to give birth to a monster."

At that moment, the man in the kimono stepped forward anxiously: "Father! If Kaido is dead, we won't have to worry about going..."

At this point, Yizang shut his mouth, but clenched his fists and stared at the white-bearded man.

Marco, the bespectacled and rather flippant first division commander of the Whitebeard Pirates, looked at the man: "You can just say things like 'Go save Wano Country,' Izo. Don't forget we really like Oden, and you're not the only one who's felt guilty all these years..."

Marco looked at the white-bearded man and said, "Dad."

The old man looked at Izo and thought of the samurai. Although he only learned of his death many years later, he never sought revenge for him because he was thinking about the price he might have to pay for declaring war on that brat Kaido.

But nowadays...

Whitebeard glanced at his "concerns," his own crew, and grinned, "While I feel bad for that bastard Oden, it's time!"

Some of the pirates on the ship who knew the truth were excited, while the later crew members who didn't understand were also excited, because they knew they were going to fight with their father!

"Father, but shouldn't we investigate that Marine? And after Kaido's death, those pirates will definitely go crazy, and some might even provoke your territory..." Jinbe, one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea, said to Whitebeard.

Upon hearing this, the white-bearded man laughed and then said, "Let them be! I'm the White-Bearded Man!"
