From the Navy Admiral to the Gotei 13

However, this is the first time I have actually seen him in person.

Whitebeard. Edward Newgate. He was quite tall, twice as tall as Diarmait, and estimated to be more than six meters, almost seven meters.

His long golden hair hung behind him like a waterfall, and he wore a white captain's hat on his head. In the center of the hat was the logo of the Whitebeard Pirates.

He was dressed very heroically, with his upper body bare and wearing a captain's coat. His trousers were ordinary black trousers with the legs tied up at the calves and pressed into his black boots.

Just standing there, you can feel a strong sense of power rushing towards you.

If I had to describe the smile on his face, there was no arrogance, no pride, no sarcasm, just two words: confidence.

If nine seven

Water five six

Junior Three

Say Four One

Qun Ling is extremely confident, but he doesn't give people the feeling of being conceited and despicable.

On the contrary, that kind of confidence is one that even the enemy should recognize.

Move forward courageously and no one can defeat you!

The so-called strongest man in the world seems to have a smile like his.

"Young?" Newgate smiled at Diarmait's response and swung the broadsword in his hand. He slashed the pillars on the ground, and with his free hand, he stroked his square chin. "In terms of age, I could be your father. So, am I still considered young?"

"In your early fifties, isn't that the prime of your life? You are at the peak of your powers, isn't that youth?" Diarmuid put his hand on his waist and whispered.

"Kulalalalal, if that's the case, then I'm really young." Newgate laughed.

Then, without waiting for Diarmait to speak, he said again: "Speaking of which, this time my son is really grateful to you navy for taking care of him...." As he said this, Newgate reached out and patted the pineapple-like hairstyle of the young Marco beside him.

Marco felt helpless for a while, but it was indeed because he was not capable enough and was arranged by Barrett, so he just had a bitter expression and did not say a word.

Diarmait waved his hand and said, "As for thanking you, there is no need. We didn't find your son anyway. Besides, if you hadn't come today, I would have taken him to Impelton to sit for a while." As soon as Diarmait finished speaking, Newgate's expression didn't change much. He was still smiling, but the sons around him were all full of anger, as if they disliked Diarmait very much.

But their father didn't say anything, so it was difficult for them, as sons, to speak up.

"Perhaps." Newgate calmed his sons down with a hand, then looked at Diarmait and said, "You should know the rules of our Whitebeard Pirates, right?"

"I've heard of it, that's what it is. Everyone in this sea knows that it has always been your Whitebeard Pirates who bully others, and no one dares to bully your Whitebeard Pirates! Right?" Diarmait said with a smile.

As soon as he finished speaking, Joz and others, who had been suppressed by Newgate, became angry again.

Because Diarmait's words were clearly mocking them.

Newgate was stunned for a moment, then burst into laughter.

"Kulalalala, you're much more interesting than that dull bastard Zhan Guo. Are we the only ones who bully others, and we're not allowed to bully us? Kulalalala, that's an interesting way of saying it, but it's true!" Newgate laughed. After a pause, he looked at Diarmait and said in a deep voice, "I'm just that domineering! What do you think?"

As these words fell, a powerful and domineering aura instantly burst out from Newgate's body and pressed towards Diarmait.

The cloak of justice behind Diarmait was carried up by the aura, and he narrowed his eyes slightly, but was not overwhelmed by the aura.

"That makes sense. As the strongest person in the world, you have the right to be so domineering!" Diarmait said calmly.

The iron rule of the Whitebeard Pirates is that no one is allowed to harm their companions on the ship.

This is indeed overbearing enough.

They are pirates!

When they said this, it sounded as if whoever they wanted to rob should just kneel on the ground and wait to be robbed.

If you dare to resist, you will hurt our companions, and then we will deal with you!

This style is no different from the Axe Gang.

At the same time, the Whitebeard Pirates are very shameless.

It's definitely the kind of style where if you beat the younger ones, the older ones will come and beat the older ones, and the whole family will fight you to the death.

From this perspective, the Whitebeard Pirates are indeed a bully pirate group without any moral integrity.

But it is precisely because of the bullying style of this pirate group that the cohesion of the entire Whitebeard Pirates is very strong.

The cohesion of a pirate group can affect their combat effectiveness.

Therefore, there is no doubt that the Whitebeard Pirates are extremely powerful.

At the same time, this cohesion is gathered under the halo of Whitebeard, who is known as the "strongest man in the world".

Therefore, this pirate group should be described as terrifying.

It is precisely because they have this kind of bullying style and are strong enough that they can suppress all disobedience in the new world.

The Whitebeard Pirates today are undoubtedly the strongest pirate group in the world.

Of course, this bully style and Whitebeard's lack of cohesion also happen to be the biggest flaws and weaknesses of the Whitebeard Pirates.

However, at this stage, neither Whitebeard, Joz, Marco and others have discovered this problem.

That is, the cohesion centered around Newgate will decline rapidly if there is no one strong enough to replace Newgate and take on the responsibility after Newgate's death.

As it turned out, twenty years later, in the Battle of Marineford, Newgate died in Marineford, and the Whitebeard Pirates fell from the top pirate group to a second-rate status.

After Newgate's fall, the Whitebeard Pirates, though they had many powerful members, had no one who could shoulder the weight of the entire pirate group like him. …

"Kulalalala, are you qualified to be so domineering?" Newgate put away his aura and laughed again.

Diarmuid always felt that this guy loved to laugh.

He has been smiling since we met, and he is still smiling now. Isn’t he tired?

"Well, since you admit that I have the right to be so domineering, then I will not make things difficult for you. For the sake of Zhan Guo, hand over Douglas Barrett, so that we can live in peace." Newgate looked at Diarmait and said softly.

Diarmait sighed slightly. It was as expected.

He had been wondering before, why didn't Newgate and his men leave after picking up Marco, but instead continued to provoke their navy?

Is it because the strongest Whitebeard is here, so he wants to teach the navy a lesson and be ruthless?

Come to think of it, it shouldn't be such a superficial reason. In recent years, although the Navy and the Whitebeard Pirates have often fought back and forth in the New World.

But in fact, there has never been a single battle between Newgate and the Warring States at this level.

The two sides seemed to have a tacit understanding and maintained the level of the conflict to a certain extent.

Diarmait would never believe it. He didn't know Newgate well. If he, Diarmait, Sakaski, Gion and other elite naval forces were destroyed here, Diarmait would be destroyed.

Admiral Sengoku and Marshal Steel Bone will definitely go crazy and mobilize all the elite forces of the navy to crush his Whitebeard Pirates in the first half of the Grand Line.

This is almost beyond doubt.

Nowadays, among all the pirate forces, the only one that is truly qualified to compete with the navy is the Whitebeard Pirates.

This is why both sides exercise restraint.

Newgate wouldn't be so cruel.

Then why does he still do this?

Is it simply to provoke the navy?

Now, the answer is clear: he wants the Navy to hand over the culprit, Douglas Barrett.

Of course, Newgate's words were obviously not meant to save Barrett.

On the contrary, he just wanted to kill Barrett with his own hands.

"Everything is fine..." Diarmait murmured softly, then shrugged helplessly and said, "To be honest, if you had told me this quietly, I would have agreed." Newgate frowned slightly, as if he didn't understand what Diarmait meant.

But before he could open his mouth, he saw Diarmait's aura suddenly rising. In just a short moment, he was like a tiger, enveloping all the pirates.

"Whitebeard, let me ask you, you have been sailing the seas for decades, but when have you ever seen a candidate for admiral of the navy making deals with pirates? We in the navy will never compromise with you pirates!!!" Diarmait raised his arms in armed color domineering and spoke very seriously.

Newgate was stunned for a moment before he realized what Diarmait had just said.

If he had made some subtle hints, or said something else, instead of being so open about it, Diarmuid might have gone along with it, kept the peace, and sold Barrett out.

But since he said it so openly, Diarmait had no way out.

Because Diarmuid was right. How could a candidate for admiral of the navy possibly compromise with pirates?

If Diarmuid compromises here today, all his past accumulation in the navy will turn into nothingness.

"Kulala..." Newgate laughed loudly, then swung the Kumokumo in his hand, pointing the tip of the sword at Diarmait and said, "I underestimated you. You are right. I have never seen a candidate for admiral in your navy compromise with pirates!"

After a brief pause, a transparent energy sphere condensed on the tip of Mukumochiri's blade. Then, Newgate said, "In that case, I'll capture you, the candidate for general, and then go negotiate with Sengoku or Ganggu. Let's see if they will compromise with me!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Newgate swung the Cloud Cutting Sword in his hand towards Diarmait.

The two sides were dozens of meters apart at this time, but it was of no use at all. The powerful vibration force rushed straight towards Diarmuid. Wherever it passed, everything that stood in the way of this force was turned into ashes.

Diarmuid clenched his hands together, and the Armament Haki that had been attached to his arms instantly transformed into flowing clouds, entering the second stage. At the same time, he pulled out the demon sword Xindu. The powerful force of Haki, the immaterial wind pressure, and the equally powerful gravity energy all converged on the demon sword.

Then, Diarmait did not dodge or evade, but faced the shocking force released by the strongest man and slashed out with his sword.

"Tiger!!!" Diarmait roared.

The domineering power, wind pressure, and gravity were instantly pressed together by Diarmait and collided with the trembling force of Newgate.

Then, the ground quickly cracked like a rift valley, separating Diarmait and Newgate.

Afterwards, the shattered Queen of Spring Island began to tremble again, like an earthquake.

The sea water in the surrounding sea areas flowed back, causing huge waves that continued to overflow!

The collision between the two energies seemed to tear the entire ground apart, and space itself shattered!

Chapter 141 This is the Strongest Man in the World!!! (Second Update)

The moment the aftermath of the energy shock dissipated, Newgate's tall figure had already rushed in front of Diarmait.

"Nice momentum, kid!" Newgate grinned and praised.

As the words fell, the broadsword in his hand, Cong Yunqie, slashed down fiercely.

It was visible to the naked eye that there was no energy halo on the knife. On the contrary, it was wrapped in a layer of invisible and intangible domineering power.

Diarmait had no time to dodge.

Or perhaps he had no intention of dodging in the first place.
