【"Something is coming!"】

["So strong! So fast! In the sea?!"]

["Is it the navy? They sent people to attack us from the sea?"]

["Impossible! All the warships sent by the navy to monitor the movement near us have been destroyed!"]

[A few days ago, in a certain area of ​​​​the New World, the pirates on the Beluga stared at the seemingly calm sea with vigilance. A black shadow quickly rose up under the water, and finally broke through the sea with a "boom", bringing

A group of waves jumped up high.]

["Is it a human? Only one person?" Some pirates looked shocked. 】

[Among the gathered captains, Marco raised his head and glanced at the figure jumping out of the sea, and said calmly: "It's him! He actually came here by himself when the atmosphere was tense... Brothers, please

Put away the knife, he probably didn't come to fight with us."]

["Good luck..." The visitor jumped onto the bow of the Moby Dick. His long gray hair was wet, and there were several scars on his aging but still burly body. The seawater flowed down from his hairy legs and his bare feet.

He put on his glasses and smiled slightly, "I was just thinking that you should be approaching in the direction of Fish-Man Island..."]

【"Ming~King~Thunder~Lee~?!"]

[Some of the young pirates on the Beluga couldn't hold their breath and looked at the old man with long white hair standing on the bow of the ship, dumbfounded, "Did he swim here alone?!"]

["Rayleigh, what are you doing here?" Captain Izo of the 16th Squadron asked with a frown. 】

["It's nothing, I just have something to talk to Whitebeard." Rayleigh stood on the bow of the ship and did not move for the moment. Although he had a knife hanging on his waist, he had no intention of reaching out to touch it. He glanced at the front deck calmly.

Everyone in the Whitebeard Pirates said, "Can you put down your weapons first? I have long been a retired old man, and I don't want to fight with anyone..."]

[Captain of the Third Division, Jozi, folded his arms and said solemnly: "Then you are in the wrong place."]

["That's right! Pluto, you are not a popular character here!" Other more senior white group members also said. 】

["Sons, let him come over." Whitebeard's sonorous voice came from far away on the rear deck. ]

[“Dad!” Everyone looked back. 】

[Marco sighed: "Since dad has spoken, there is nothing we can do, young brothers, we should retreat first."]

["Again?" The young pirates thought of something and were suddenly dissatisfied. The last time red-haired Shanks came to their ship, they had already had a similar experience, "These Roger Pirates

No matter what the person is"]

[Bang, bang, Rayleigh threw the two slippers in the clothes under his arm to the floor, stepped on his feet and put them on, wrung out the moisture from the clothes, and walked towards Whitebeard at the back of the deck.

.]

【Bang, bang, bang...】

[Wherever Rayleigh passed, the invisible Overlord's color spread out. Many young members of the Whitebeard Pirates rolled their eyes and fell down with foam at the mouth. ]

["Damn it, didn't he say that... he has retired... doesn't want to... uh..."]

[Several pirates who were barely able to hold on watched angrily as Rayleigh walked all the way to the giant-like white beard sitting on the steps of the stern deck.]

["At such an old age, you have become arrogant." Whitebeard stared at Rayleigh with lowered eyes. ]

[Rayley raised his head and smiled: "My captain is no longer here, and I, the deputy captain, have to support the scene."]

[Whitebeard hugged his muscular arms and snorted, "How dare you say that in front of me!"]

[Reilly said: "Newgate, you look really good! You don't look like an old guy in his seventies at all."]

["Stop pretending..." Whitebeard said lightly, "The boy Lynch who treated my injuries back then was hired by Marco from you. Do you not know the situation? Or..."]

["Do you want to try it yourself?" Whitebeard stood up and held the large naginata of Cong Yunri in his hand. 】

["It's not a bad idea to try it!" Rayleigh said with a smile, drew out the long sword from his waist, and waved his hand towards the large naginata that Whitebeard was slashing at. 】

【Boom!】

[The two weapons struck each other in the air, bursting out black domineering lightning, and the majestic momentum soared into the sky, and the sky was split. 】

[The entire Beluga pirate ship trembled slightly in the confrontation between the two. Many pirates on the ship couldn't help but were speechless. Last time the red hair came, it was like this. This time Pluto came, why was it the same scene again? One Piece

Why are all the guys who got off the boat so...]

["Speaking of which, at this time, I can ask you, a retired old guy, to come over specially..."]

[After a simple greeting with a knife, Whitebeard and Pluto sat together and drank. The other members of the pirate group, including the captains, had been dismissed by Whitebeard, and there was an empty space around the two people who were talking privately. ]

[Whitebeard raised his head and took a sip, and asked lightly, "It's for Ace's kid, right?"]

["Newgate, you really know Ace's life experience." Rayleigh looked at his old face reflected on the surface of the wine in the giant bowl in front of him. ]

[Whitebeard, who was drinking, sneered, as if to say, is Ace’s life experience very remarkable? Do I care about it? 】

[Rayleigh suddenly said: "Two years ago, when I saw in the newspaper that Ace became the captain of the second division on your ship, I was surprised..."]

[After a pause, he raised his head and asked: "Whitebeard, does Ace really hate Roger that much?"]

["..." Whitebeard was drinking by himself. He looked at Rayleigh with a wry smile and shook his head. He raised a huge bowl and drank heavily, "I don't hesitate to call you my father. I have the pattern of Whitebeard tattooed on my back, and I carry your name on my back."

No matter how long it takes to survive...that child really wants to draw a clear line between himself and his father, the Pirate King Roger, is that right?"]

[Putting down the giant bowl, Rayleigh wiped the corners of his mouth and sighed: "...I just want to clarify this issue first, that's all."]

["What if I answer 'yes'?" Whitebeard said, "What are you going to do?"]

["Then..." Rayleigh said after a moment of silence, "I can only respect Ace's decision. Since he has chosen you as his partner, if he doesn't want to have anything to do with Roger, his life and death can only be left to you.

Already.”]

["Gur la la la! Gul la la la..."]

[Whitebeard suddenly raised his head and laughed. Marco and others on the deck in the distance all heard it. They couldn't help but wonder what the hell Dad and Hades were talking about, and they could actually laugh. 】

[The laughter gradually subsided, and Whitebeard said to Rayleigh, who was also a little confused: "Ace...he lost a bet with me and was snatched to be my son."]

["Huh?" Rayleigh was startled, obviously not expecting this answer.]

["At that time, this kid ran all the way to my boat..." Whitebeard raised his head and took two sips of wine, recalling, "It was not to take my head, nor was he trying to make a name for himself by challenging me.

, actually just wanted to find me, his father’s former rival, and ask a simple question, what kind of person is his father?”]

["..." Rayleigh sighed slightly with a complicated expression and drank silently. 】

["I can't do it to a son who scolds his father." Whitebeard shook his head and drank, "But you want me to praise Roger? Spare me!"]

[Rayleigh couldn't help laughing and took two swigs of wine.]

["After all, no matter how much that boy Ace knows about Roger, so what? Roger is dead after all!"]

[Whitebeard looked at the wine gourd in his hand and said lightly, "Chasing the shadow of a dead person with that kind of mood will only increase the sadness..."]

[Rayleigh drinks silently.]

["Rayleigh, how many times have we fought against each other? You should know me... As long as I see the poor kid who actually longs for family care in his heart, I can't bear to let him wander alone again." Whitebeard said slightly.

Sighing, a soft smile burst out from the corners of his wrinkled old eyes, "So... I made a bet with that boy. If he can burn off one of my hairs within three days, he will tell me what I know about Luo

Tell him everything about Jay."]

["Then what?" Reilly asked.]

["Are you looking down on me? For a young guy like him, it's a hundred years too early to hurt me!"]

[Whitebeard pretended to be unhappy and drank the last bit of wine in the wine gourd. In the end, he couldn't help but smile.]

[Three days after the appointment, Ace finally failed in despair. He was willing to admit defeat and agreed to join Whitebeard's command...]

["Gu la la la, your father was on par with me back then!"]

[Hearing what Whitebeard said, Ace was stunned for a moment. He looked up and saw Whitebeard stretching out a generous hand towards him and asked gently: "Ace, be my son."]

…

["All coated! Sinking! Target Fish-Man Island!"]

[The Moby Dick sank into the sea, and standing on the bow looking at the dark seabed, Reilly suddenly asked: "Newgate, did you really take Ace under your wing just because you sympathized with him?"]

["Gula la la..."]

[Whitebeard laughed when he heard this, "Rayleigh, unlike you, I am still a pirate! Since I am a pirate, after being robbed, I will find a way to get it back again..."]

[Rayleigh looks back.]

["That bastard Roger stole one of my brothers," Whitebeard snorted. "Now I'm going to steal one of his sons. Isn't that too much?"]

[Rayleigh laughed dumbly, and then felt a little sad. Neither Oden nor Roger was gone.]

【"It's really not too much."】

[Rayleigh put his hand on the hilt of the knife and looked at the Fish-Man Island, Whitebeard's territory as a transit station, right in front, and said to himself, "Then there is one more person on the ship to save Ace, isn't it too much?"]

【"certainly!"】

[Whitebeard waved his hands nonchalantly, "As long as you don't hold us back..."]

…

"Whitebeard...Pluto...these two guys actually joined forces?!"
