One Piece: Adopting Akainu at the beginning, adopted son Barrett

Chapter 143 Whitebeard's Evil Taste

"grass!"

"What's wrong, old lion? You look so miserable. Gulala."

Cake Island is located in a special sea area in the New World. All the islands in this sea area are made up of delicious ingredients.

Among them, Cake Island is the largest island and the residence of Charlotte Linlin, one of the three legendary pirates in the New World.

Countless pirates are having a trading party on Cake Island. This is a grand event for pirates - the Pirate Expo!

It is also the first Pirate Expo since the death of Rocks, and its commemorative significance is enough to be recorded in the legendary history of pirates.

"Mama, you must have lost more than you gained. I heard about the big battle not long ago. The old lion was defeated miserably!"

On Cake Island, in the main hall of the Kingdom of Torrant, the aunt laughed at the belated golden lion.

"Shut up, you crazy bitch! I'm not defeated. If I bring all my troops here, Zefa will definitely not be able to save himself!"

Shiqi would not admit his defeat. He sat down in the seat prepared for him, facing Newgate, and retorted.

At this time, he was in tatters and had no time to change his clothes before he hurried to the Kingdom of Torant to attend the Pirate Expo and Linlin's first tea party, so he looked quite embarrassed at this time.

But he got angry when talking about this. He originally thought it was a sure win battle, and it would not lose his status if he could pick up some gifts along the way.

But he didn't expect that the obviously modified warship was actually Zefa's vehicle, and it was carrying a bunch of small monsters that could beat his men and make them flee in fear.

Especially that little magma devil, I think his name was Sakaski, he was very cruel, he didn't look like a marine at all, he should be a pirate!
After fighting for two days and two nights, he had to retreat temporarily with a few scattered important subordinates.

Firstly, he couldn't miss the Pirate Expo, and secondly, too many of his men had died, and if they continued fighting it would really become a fight to the death.

You can recruit cheap subordinates at any time, but if your ambition is destroyed in one battle, then it is really gone.

He could indeed slowly wear down Zefa and keep all of them here.

But...if he remembered correctly, behind the lava imp Sakaski there was a guy on his kill list - Nasdacross!
Once the battle escalates into a fight to the death, what will greet him is a super radar with top-level observation Haki that can fly, plus a righteous beating from two super fighters, Garp and Sengoku!
Before he could drag everyone else into the water, or find an opportunity to eliminate Ross, he couldn't ruin his future for the sake of momentary pleasure.

Just like his old Captain Rocks.

Without perfect preparation, we were defeated in the battle of "God's Valley", and all the benefits were taken by these people. It was really pitiful.

When he thought of this, his relatively bright mind began to extinguish the anger in his heart.

"Shiqi, if you lose, you lose. There's nothing wrong with admitting it, right? Here, I prepared some wine for you."

Newgate said cheerfully, picked up a small wine barrel beside him and threw it at Shiqi, and then said:

"This is a good thing I got from the underworld of the Four Seas. It's produced by the Nasdaq family and is highly intoxicating. I don't know how it was made, but I don't sell it to pirates. How stingy!"

"Produced by the Nasdaq family, is it real or fake?"

Golden Lion was a little confused, but he opened the wine barrel directly, allowing the rich aroma of wine to spread throughout the spacious hall.

If you look closely, you can see the words "Yatuo" printed on the wine barrel.

Shi Ji held the wine barrel and sniffed hard towards the cave entrance. Then he looked up, his face flushed. The depression and irritability brought by the previous failure disappeared like smoke in front of the aroma of wine. He opened his mouth and said:

"It smells like good wine! I'll go around the world and rob it every day, hahahahaha!"

Shiqi laughed and without saying a word, he picked up the barrel and poured it into his mouth.

“Huhaha—so cool!”

He wiped his mouth casually. Even with Shiji's alcohol tolerance, he instantly felt a little drunk in front of this bucket of wine that was at least 50 degrees.

His face was flushed at the moment, just like a drunk man. He slumped in his seat, looking a bit embarrassed and making a fool of himself. How could he look like a spirited lion?

He looked more like a ragged old man who passed out after drinking two ounces of wine.

"Gulala, it's worth my extravagance to buy two barrels of Aquaman Drunk, it's really worth it, hahaha!"

Looking at Ski's embarrassing appearance, Newgate, his old rival, slapped his thighs twice and laughed strangely, almost laughing to the point of tears.

How could he be so kind as to buy wine for Skibai? He himself didn't even have enough money to donate to his hometown and the orphans.

Usually, his "sons" would treat us to drinking and dining together.

That is to say, before coming to the Pirate Expo, he luxuriously obtained two barrels of good wine.

But unfortunately, the alcohol content was too high and he couldn't get used to it. His body also couldn't withstand the side effects of such high alcohol content - irritation and hidden injuries.

At this time, Newgate was in his prime and was the best fighter, but both the Valley of the Gods and the previous naval battle led by Sora had caused him considerable pain, which left some troubles in his body.

Normally, he was fine drinking alcohol, after all, it was only a few alcohols, he would not get drunk at all, even if he was drunk, he would just sleep. But the first time he tried this strong liquor, something went wrong, plus he always drank in big gulps, the 50-plus alcohol liquor poured into his stomach like water, the result was predictable.

The body simply cannot withstand that kind of sudden stimulation, and it is easy for hidden injuries to recur and old injuries to recur. There have even been cases where the heart has stopped beating for a few seconds.

The feeling of being out of reach is very uncomfortable, especially for a drunkard like De Newgate.

So, he decided to let his old rival experience this feeling as well!

"Mama, I really don't know why you like to drink these smelly things so much. Are sweet desserts not delicious?"

Charlotte Linling took out a huge piece of cake and stuffed it into her mouth. Her eyes narrowed into crescents, and her plump figure looked particularly cute.

At this time, she had just passed her beautiful years, and her body was not as chubby as it would be in the future. If she was just a little fat, she would even be cute.

"Phew~ You are so nice, Whitebeard. I, Shiki the Golden Lion, am willing to be your brother and share the world with you! How about being my deputy?"

Drunk to his full potential, Ski shook his head and looked towards Newgate, extending his trembling left hand in invitation.

The aftereffects of the alcohol were also surging up in his head, wreaking havoc in his body, causing slight pain in some of his organs, but transmitting a special pleasure to his head.

How could these pirates take care of their bodies? When they really fight, they fight as hard as they can. Who doesn't have some problems?
But alcohol would numb the mind, so the drunk Shi Ji did not notice anything wrong with his body.

"Mama, come here! Take this old lion down to sober him up, and inform everyone that the tea party will be officially held at nine o'clock tomorrow morning, and the Pirate Expo will officially open in three days!"

Looking at the golden lion that had already lost consciousness, Charlotte Linling roared loudly, and the sound quickly spread outside the hall.

Not long after, a purple-haired boy about thirteen years old walked in. The strange thing was that he was completely wrapped in biscuits, and there were two sturdy biscuits beside him... people?

"It's Cracker. Did you hear what I just said, my dear son?"

Charlotte Linlin immediately recognized the identity of the visitor. It was her tenth son, Charlotte Cracker, the owner of the superhuman biscuit fruit.

Miraculously, there are many special edible fruits on the small islands in this special sea area, basically all of them are superhuman, and they can be divided freely among her children.

There are still many fruits that are collected and waiting for their owners to come.

"I know, mom! Oh, mom, a group of foreign pirates beat up my sister and were killed by Katakuri-san. This matter..."

"Hmm? If anyone dares to cause trouble, I'll kill them!"

Charlotte Linlin had a defiant look on her face, and seemed very dissatisfied with the invading pirates. They were probably ignorant newcomers, but they had already paid the price.

Cracker nodded happily when he heard that, then quickly ordered two biscuit soldiers to lift up Shiki one after the other and were ready to leave.

But after thinking it over, he created a smaller soldier to take the wine barrel away as well.

"and many more!"

Just as he was about to leave, Lingling, who had just finished another dessert, suddenly called him over, then turned to Newgate and said unceremoniously:
"Hey, can I ask my subordinates to inform your sons of the rules?"

"Gulala, it's up to you, Lingling. I've already told those guys the rules, but you're the host, so I, Newgate, will give you this honor!"

Newgate waved his hand nonchalantly.

There are many unwritten rules at pirate gatherings, but there are also rules arranged by the hosts. As a guest, he has to give them this face.

"Did you hear that, Cracker? Ask the bagels to talk to the important guests. I don't want this tea party to be ruined!"

Lingling said in a serious tone, the legendary pirate girl's aura made Cracker a little breathless.

Mom, this is so scary...

Cracker was terrified. His mother was obviously not like this when she just came back. She was very gentle and treated them very well, but...

"Yes mom, I won't mess this up!"

Cracker nodded in agreement, then took Shiqi away to rest.

Newgate looked at Lingling in surprise, feeling a little unfamiliar with this old friend.

Linlin is the same type of person as him, and she attaches great importance to family ties, especially when Kaido just got on board.

However, since Kaido was arrested and imprisoned, Linlin has suffered two attacks of bulimia and she has slowly changed.

Especially after Kaido was "killed" by Nasdacross, he became even more furious.

Newgate understood very well, but he also planned to have less contact with her in the future.

This crazy woman will only get crazier!
