Sailing: I Open Treasure Chests in the Pirate World

Page 141

Nasujuro wants to strip this sand crocodile of his status as a Shichibukai!

Crocodile showed great interest in "Whitebeard II".

Nassuro Sei was pleased to see this.

If Crocodile finds Whitebeard Jr., and is then killed by him, Whitebeard Jr. would then take his place as one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea...

That would be the best-case scenario for the government!

Just as Nasujuro was about to dial the Den Den Mushi to call the last of the Seven Warlords of the Sea.

Suddenly, another Den Den Mushi (snail phone) rang within the room of power.

Nassuro Sei stared intently.

The Den Den Mushi of the Five Elders, the Legal God of War, Topman Vochuli Saint, is constantly sending out signals.

Nassuro immediately quieted down.

When Vocuri answered the Den Den Mushi, a rapid notification sound came from the receiver.

"Vocliland! Enies Lobby has been attacked by giants!"

"Leading the group are the captains of the Giant Warrior Pirates from a hundred years ago, Red Oni Brogy and Blue Oni Dorry!"

"The gatekeeper giant of Enies Lobby has betrayed us!"

"Four giants stole a warship and escaped from Enies Lobby!"

Urgent announcements from judges on Judicial Island echoed repeatedly amidst the power struggle.

Upon hearing this, the five elders all frowned.

Unbeknownst to them, their mental connection was re-established.

'The captain of the Giant Warrior Pirates? I remember those two were supposed to be fighting on Little Garden?'

'Who released those two giants? And why did they attack Enies Lobby!'

"Judicial Island is one of the government's three major departments! The government is utterly disgraced!"

'Pursue them! We must pursue them! Dispatch warships to chase those four giants!'

Even if we can't kill those four giants, we can at least have the warships drive them into the Devil's Triangle!

'Isn't there a Shichibukai stationed in the Devil's Triangle?'

'Let the pirates deal with the pirates!'

'But the Shichibukai there is Gecko Moria… Oh well, Gecko Moria it is!'

After a brief exchange of ideas.

After offering a few words of reassurance to the judges on Enies Lobby, Sacred Vochuli methodically issued orders, commanding the surrounding naval bases to dispatch warships to pursue the giants.

After things are settled in Vocuri.

Nasujiro then called the last of the Seven Warlords of the Sea.

"Gecko Moria, the government has a mission for you! Four giants may enter the Devil's Triangle area; don't let them escape!"

"Giants? Hehehehe! I love giants the most! Leave those four giants to me!!"

……

At a time when world governments are actively taking action.

The sea was also stirred up by the bounty on "Whitebeard II Edward Teach".

The New World, a certain sea area, the deck of the Moby Dick.

Edward Newgate, with his white beard, was half-reclining, half-sitting on a large sofa in the center of the deck.

He was surrounded by several young and beautiful female nurses.

Each female nurse wore a pink nurse's uniform, with delicate yet wild leopard-print stockings tightly wrapping around their slender legs, giving them a feeling that was both gentle and wild.

Around the deck, members of the Whitebeard Pirates stood or sat, most of them holding food and drinks, cheering incessantly.

This is the Whitebeard Pirates' "family routine".

“Edward Teach? I know, Jinbe.”

With his golden pineapple punk hairstyle, Marco the Phoenix, the first division commander of the Whitebeard Pirates, hung up the Den Den Mushi.

This is an urgent notification from Jinbe.

In Den Den Mushi (a type of electric scoop).

Jinbe mentioned a bounty notice that the World Government suddenly issued today.

He also mentioned that he would send the bounty notice to the Moby Dick by fax shortly.

In Den Den Mushi, Jinbe's tone sounded a bit strange and awkward.

"Sea Knight" didn't say much before quickly hanging up the Den Den Mushi.

Not long after.

Marco received a fax from Jinbe.

It was a bounty poster for "Edward Teach"!

Marco stared intently at Edward Teach's photograph.

He was a founding member of the Whitebeard Pirates, having followed the young Whitebeard since he was very young.

Marco can be quite certain.

The "Edward Teach" on this wanted poster bears a striking resemblance to his father in his youth!

The same blond hair, the same long face, and even that white beard that's almost identical to the one from the mold...

“… Dad, you…”

Marco turned his head and glanced at his father, who was drinking alcohol while receiving an IV drip.

I'm feeling a bit unwell.

Aside from Whitebeard himself, the captain of the Whitebeard Pirates, almost all of the members are Whitebeard's sons, and almost all of them affectionately call Whitebeard "Old Man".

Over the decades, the only exception was the former captain of the Second Division, the man named Kozuki Oden...

Kozuki Oden was not Whitebeard's son, but rather his "younger brother"...

This does not affect Marco's and others' status as "sons".

but now.

Marco turned his head and stared blankly at the bounty poster in his hand.

It seems a man more suited to be Whitebeard's son has appeared...

"Marco, why don't you come in for a drink?"

Vista, the fifth division commander of the Whitebeard Pirates, walked over with a swagger. He put his arm around Marco's shoulder and glanced sideways at the newspaper in the latter's hand.

"Huh? Why are you suddenly interested in Dad's bounty posters from when he was young?"

"You're really drunk, Vista!"

Marco shrugged and gently nudged the somewhat tipsy Vista aside.

"I don't even remember what my dad looked like when he was young!"

"This isn't my dad, it's a rookie pirate named Edward Teach!"

"Edward Teach?"

Bista let out a burp and his eyes widened.

"Teach!?"

The conversation between the two captains went completely unnoticed by anyone else.

The members of the Whitebeard Pirates were enjoying the banquet to the fullest.

Marco, holding the bounty poster, strode towards Whitebeard.

"Dad!"

“Gurarara, Marco…”

When Whitebeard saw Marco walk in, he first smiled, then nervously reached out to protect the barrel in Marco's hand, and said with a look of vigilance.

"I didn't steal your drink this time; Joz just offered me it!"

Normally, Marco would definitely say a few more words to Whitebeard, telling him to take care of his health and not to drink too much alcohol.

But right now, Marco doesn't have that in mind.

He held up the bounty poster in his hand to Whitebeard, asking with a mix of grievance and humility.

"Dad, do you know 'Edward Teach'?"

"Huh? Who?"

Whitebeard heard his own surname.

He looked up at the bounty poster held high by Marco, and saw his own face from when he was young.

"Marco, what are you doing with my bounty poster?"

19 billion Berry?

"Those bastards in the Navy actually lowered my bounty!?"

Whitebeard was initially puzzled, then became furious.

Marco looked at Whitebeard helplessly.

"Dad, this isn't your bounty poster, it's a bounty poster for 'Whitebeard Jr.'!"

"Whitebeard II?"

Whitebeard was taken aback. He raised his hand, rubbed his eyes, and looked at the bounty poster again.

After reading the bounty notice, the white-bearded man frowned, his lips turned down, and his face was filled with a sense of absurdity and speechlessness.

"who is this?"

"Whitebeard II, Edward Teach!"

Marco repeated the name on the bounty poster with a sigh.

After saying this, he took a few steps closer to the white-bearded man and lowered his voice.

“Dad, do you remember that person? Buckingham Stussy… Madam.”

The moment the name Buckingham Stussy came out of Marco's mouth.

Whitebeard fell silent instantly.

He does indeed have a "past" with Buckingham Stussy.

That was a story from when they were all members of the Rocks Pirates...

“Stussi…”

Whitebeard looked at the blond kid on the wanted poster who looked almost exactly like him in his youth and called out his name.

"Edward Teach... Teach!!"
