Who made him the Pirate King?

New World, Totland of All Nations, Cake Island.

Standing quietly in the north of Cake Island, it looks like a cake castle with layers of sweet cakes.

The Pirate Emperor, the Queen of All Nations, the strongest female pirate in the sea, and the captain of the Big Mom Pirates - Charlotte Lingling, is enjoying today's dessert with a look of enjoyment on her face.

Take each piece of these desserts individually, and the sugar contained in them is enough to kill an ordinary person.

But Charlotte Lingling was devouring it.

One dessert cake after another was first given a special "soul" by the [Soul Fruit].

Then, before these newborn special beings could experience the beauty of the world, they were all stuffed into Charlotte Lingling's mouth.

The wail of the soul that ordinary people cannot hear gradually disappears into the depths of Charlotte Lingling's throat hell...

This is the Queen of Soul!

After finishing a large plate of dessert cakes, Charlotte Lingling touched her belly with satisfaction.

Before the next fresh dessert was served, Charlotte Lingling looked at her eldest son who had been waiting for a long time.

"Mama mama...Perospero."

Charlotte Lingling let out a burst of joyful laughter. When she was full, she was a fairly kind mother.

"After waiting for so long, is there any 'big news' you want to tell me?

"Speak quickly! Don't delay my dessert time."

"Yes! Mom!"

Charlotte Perospero, the "Duke of Candy" of all nations, shuddered.

He released the ability of [Licking Fruit], created a candy elevator, and delivered a freshly baked reward order to Charlotte Lingling.

"Today the World Government suddenly issued a reward for a new pirate and sent it to every franchise country in the entire sea.

"According to the information on the reward order, the World Government calls this pirate 'Whitebeard II'."

"Whitebeard!?"

As soon as the name came out, Charlotte Lingling's eyes suddenly burst into light.

In the eyes of the world, the Four Emperors are pirates of the same level.

But in the eyes of the Four Emperors themselves——

There are also differences between emperors.

Although Charlotte Lingling is very reluctant to admit it, in her mind, the four pirate emperors do have different levels of strength...

Like the captain of the red-haired pirates who suddenly appeared this year, Red-haired Shanks.

The kid who was an intern on the Roger Pirates back then grew to such a level that even Charlotte Lingling was frightened.

But no matter how the internal order of the Yonko Pirates is arranged.

There is one person whose position will never change——

White beard!

The strongest man in the sea!

Even Charlotte Lingling strongly agrees with Whitebeard's strength.

When Charlotte Lingling heard the name "Whitebeard II", she immediately became interested.

She grabbed the reward order, casually broke the candy elevator released by Perospero, and bit it like a lollipop in her mouth.

"This appearance... really looks like a young man with a white beard!"

Charlotte Lingling looked at the photo of Edward Teach on the reward order, and the light burst out in her eyes even more intensely.

She and Whitebeard were both members of the Rocks Pirates, and they "fought side by side" together when they were young.

Therefore, Charlotte Lingling is very familiar with Whitebeard's appearance when he was young.

She once thought about inviting Whitebeard to join her world and become her husband...

After all, Charlotte Lingling and Edward Newgate are both pirates who like their "family" very much.

From this perspective, Big Mom and Whitebeard are simply a "match made in heaven."

Unfortunately, the past cannot be recalled.

Since the Rocks Pirates disbanded.

Big Mom and Whitebeard parted ways.

Everyone established their own pirate groups, each had their own territory of power, and successively became the pirate emperor recognized by the world...

The regret of not being able to start a family with Whitebeard suddenly came to Charlotte Lingling's heart at this moment.

Big Mom didn't even bother to look at the bounty amount of this "Whitebeard II".

She just stared at Whitebeard II's face and said something that made Charlotte Perospero next to her tremble.

"Perospero, what do you think about Whitebeard being my new husband?

"Use all the forces under my command, even if I turn the entire sea upside down, I will find this white beard for me!"

…

New World, Wano Country, Onigashima.

The Beast Pirates also obtained the bounty for Edward Teach who shocked the sea.

Beast Castle, third floor, banquet hall.

A grand banquet that lasted for several days was coming to an end.

Baishou Kai showed a somewhat sober expression. He sat on the main seat and announced to the rest of the people in the hall.

"Start today!

"Jack will become the poster boy for our Beasts Pirates!

"In addition, Runti and Peggy Wan will be promoted to Fei Liubao!"

The Lizard King died at the hands of the White Dragon.

He was originally a member of the Beasts Pirates, but he is dead now.

The Lizard King died, and his original position was naturally vacated.

After experiencing a fierce and bloody internal competition.

At only 22 years old, Fishman Jack defeated a number of strong competitors and became one of the three leaders of the Beast Pirates!

at the same time.

Two animal-type and ancient Devil Fruits were sent to Wano Country by Donquixote Doflamingo a few days ago.

After a bold action, it was stolen directly by Runti.

Of the two ancient Devil Fruits, Runti kept one for herself and one for her younger brother.

Kaido of the Hundred Beasts was furious at the "theft" of two animal-type, ancient species, and dragon fruits.

But the Devil Fruits had already been eaten by Runti and Peggy Wan, and he had no way to regenerate the two Devil Fruits.

Death penalty can be avoided, but living crime cannot be avoided.

Take advantage of Jack's rise to power.

Kaido of the Beasts also asked Runti and Peggyman to accept the challenge of the other members of the Beasts Pirates.

result.

Runti and Peggy Wan relied on the rich combat experience they had cultivated since childhood and the abilities of the [Pachycephalosaurus/Spinback Dragon Fruit] they had just obtained.

The two siblings not only withstood the thunderous wrath from Kaido of the Beasts, but also defeated a number of other competitors and were promoted to the Sixth Flying Cell of the Beasts Pirates!

Since then, Runti and Peggy Wan have made a name for themselves and secured their positions.

Losing a Lizard King.

But in exchange for a mammoth, there are two new dinosaurs.

Kaido the Beast is in a good mood.

At this moment, two pirate minions rushed into the banquet hall with a reward for Whitebeard II.

"Lord Kaido! Big news! Big news happened!"

"Whitebeard! The World Government has issued a reward for Whitebeard II!"

While there was silence, the shouts of the pirate gangsters spread throughout the banquet hall.

"Whitebeard?"

"Second?"

"How is that possible?"

Kaido of the Hundred Beasts was also confused. He looked intently at the bounty orders held high in the hands of the two minions, and instantly saw the face that he would never forget.

That's not an old man with a gray beard.

It's Whitebeard, a young man from the Rocks Pirates era! !

"Oh Rororo!"

Kaido of All Beasts stared at Edward Teach's bounty order for a while, then suddenly let out a deafening laugh.

"A newcomer who looks exactly like Whitebeard in his youth? Isn't this Newgate's son?!"

The next moment.

Kaido Kaido saw Edward Teach's bounty.

The reward amount is 1.999 billion Baileys!

This number has far exceeded 99.99% of the pirates in this sea.

Even for all the members of the New World's great pirate groups, their bounties may not be as high as this number.

Kaido the Beast can understand what this number represents.

Within the current Yonko Pirates.

Except for Whitebeard, Red Hair, Beasts, and Big Mom who are captains.

The maximum reward amount for the remaining members is only around 1 billion beli.

Of course, the situation of the Red-haired Pirates is a bit special. The average bounty amount of this pirate group is very high.

Take the Beast Pirates as an example.

Kaido's bounty is 4.6111 billion Baileys.

And under him, the second-in-command of the entire Beast Pirates, Yan Calamity Jin's bounty amount is only 1.39 billion Baileys.

The amount of the bounty is related to Yan Liangjin's identity - he is not the captain, but the second-in-command of the Beast Pirates.

But more importantly, it has to do with the strength of Yan Calamity Jhin.

The World Government will set a bounty of nearly 2 billion beli for this "Whitebeard II".

This also means...

At least in the eyes of the World Government, the strength of this "Whitebeard II" far exceeds that of the second in command of the Emperor Pirates!

Kaido's heart suddenly surged with ambition.

"Young men! Go find this Whitebeard II for me! I want to invite him to join the Beasts Pirates!

"If we can successfully recruit this Whitebeard II, I can defeat 'Red Hair', 'Ling Ling' and even 'Whitebeard'! I can defeat them all!

"Everyone, please move for me! Oh, Luo Luo Luo——"

…

New world, an island.

The red-haired pirates, who just became a member of the Yonko Pirates this year, are currently stationed here.

"Mihawk, thank you..."

The red-haired Shanks said thank you to the phone bug.

Mihawk, the eagle-eyed person on the other end of the phone, didn't say much, just said something coldly.

"I'm also very interested in the strength of this 'Whitebeard II'. Maybe you can help me find him."

After saying this, Mihawk hung up the phone directly.

"Eagle Eye..."

Beckman on the side smiled and shook his head.

"He's still the same as always."

"I really want to have a drink with Hawkeye again..."

Shanks put the phone aside, picked up a glass of wine with his remaining right hand, pointed it towards a certain direction of the sea, and then drank all the wine in one breath.

It seems like this is like clinking wine glasses with Hawkeye once in the air...

"Captain, what do you think of this 'newcomer'?"

Beckman put away the smile on his face and said in a deep voice.

"Whitebeard II, the World Government has set such a high bounty for him, which means that he must have done some 'big event' that we don't know about, making the World Government aware of his strength and threat."

"How do I see it? Of course I see it with my eyes! Haha..."

Shanks was holding the bounty order that had just been faxed by Hawkeye. He was about to make some witty remarks, but was given a sharp look by Beckman.

"Don't be so serious, Beckman.

"New people appear on the sea every moment, like the white dragon before -"

"White Dragon and White Beard, they are not on the same level!"

Beckman interrupted his captain's words without mercy and made a slightly harsh comment.

“One bounty is less than 100 million, and one bounty is close to 2 billion.

"The former is just a hawk of the government, but the power of the latter can shake the entire sea!

"After all, that's Whitebeard!"

"so what?"

Shanks put his arm around Beckman's shoulders and said with a playful smile.

"Whitebeard is whitebeard, and we are us too!"

"This is different, Captain."

Beckman took the reward order from Shanks' hand and shook it vigorously.

"The Whitebeard Pirates will definitely not let go of their attention to this 'Whitebeard II'.

“Both the Beast Pirates and the Big Mom Pirates have very strong ambitions and will not easily give up on a big pirate with such a high bounty.

"We also have to take certain actions!"

"You mean, we want to recruit this 'Whitebeard II'?"

Shanks roughly understood Ben Beckman's subtext, and he stared at Whitebeard II's face carefully.

"don't want!"

"ah?"

"I said, no!"

Shanks shook his head vigorously.

"The thought of being in the company of a man with a white beard...

“It feels like there is a stranger standing behind me when I’m peeing, and I won’t be able to pee.

"Let everything take its course, Beckman.

"The storm of the new era has not yet begun to blow..."

…

Paradise, Navy Headquarters.

The solemn-looking Sengoku and the pained Kizaru came down from Marigioa and returned to the Navy Headquarters.

After entering the headquarters building and arriving at the marshal's office.

Kizaru, who had always maintained a painful expression, finally couldn't help but speak.

"Marshal Warring States, I was seriously injured in the previous battle and need to apply for leave!"

Kizaru said this "asking for leave" categorically, without any of the slippery and lazy tone he had in the past.

Warring States glanced at Kizaru.

He didn't care about Kizaru's injuries.

You're talking so powerfully, and you're still saying you're seriously injured?

Stop lying!

You wage thief!

"I still have things to deal with. You can go to the medical department later."

Warring States gave a brief explanation and skipped the topic of "approving fakes".

He, the Admiral of the Navy, doesn't even get a vacation.

You, an admiral, still want to be lazy?

Don’t even think about it!

Kizaru saw that Sengoku wanted to make a big deal out of a big deal, but it turned out to be a trivial matter, and he was about to say something else.

Suddenly at this moment, there was a knock on the door.

Lieutenant General He stood at the door of the Marshal's office and closed the door when he entered the office.

"Warring States, did you hand over all the previous analysis to Wulaoxing?"

"I've told you everything, including the speculation about the 'Whitebeard's illegitimate son'..."

"Um……"

Lieutenant General He nodded, she hesitated for a moment, and then said.

"Actually, I just remembered that we seemed to have discovered something about 'Edward Teach' very early on."

As soon as these words came out.

The expressions of Sengoku and Kizaru changed immediately.

"Ahe, what did you find?"

"Probably at the beginning of this year, the name 'Edward Teach' has already appeared once in this department."

Lieutenant General He said slowly.

"Intelligence information about this 'Whitebeard' who seems to pop out of a stone..."

“Why don’t we ask Storm?

"Vongola Storm!"
