I'm a big pirate, and you said I just went out to sea?

Chapter 194 Newgate: Captain, this is my newly adopted son, Kaido!
If Mongols, the maritime overlord of this era, could teach them, they would certainly grow tremendously in a short period of time.

All they need to do is give a favor and help Munger participate in a war.

There is no need to swear allegiance to Munger.

It sounds wonderful.

But something felt off about Rayleigh.
Looking at Monger's smiling face, Rayleigh suddenly realized—wasn't Rocks a member of the White Wolf Pirates? Now that the White Wolf Pirates had beaten them up, they sought guidance from the White Wolf Pirates' captain to get revenge, and ended up owing him a favor.

Rayleigh suddenly suspected that Monger might have been orchestrating the whole thing from the beginning.
"Don't look at me like that."

Monger picked up his glass, swirled it, and chuckled, "I only value your potential, so I'm willing to give you some guidance. But whether you can earn respect from Lockes is up to you."

"As for scheming?"

Seemingly guessing what Rayleigh was thinking, Mung looked at Rayleigh with a half-smile and said, "What's there for me to scheme against in a bunch of brats who haven't been at sea for long?"

Even if Rayleigh's Roger Pirates eventually reach the pinnacle of this world, that's something that will happen in the future.

Given Roger and Rayleigh's ages, it would take at least another decade or so for them to reach their peak strength. Under Monger's suppression, it remains to be seen whether they can even reach their original pinnacle.

Moreover, Monger had a premonition that his final battle with the World Government was approaching.

Maybe in another year, maybe in two years.

In such a short time, it's questionable whether Roger and Rayleigh could even reach the pinnacle, let alone possess the strength of an admiral.

So, Monger was just trying his luck, but he didn't expect to actually run into someone.

"."

Rayleigh looked at Monger, unable to discern the truth in Monger's words. However, as the overlord of the seas and the master of the New World, Monger had no reason to lie to a small-time pirate like him. In fact, if Monger wanted to, he could easily wipe out the entire Roger Pirates with a flick of his finger.

After all, the White Wolf Pirates' power is comparable to that of the Rocks Pirates.

They are like heaven and earth.

The Roger Pirates were able to escape from the Rocks Pirates' encirclement.

However, it was difficult for them to escape the White Wolf Pirates' search.

"I understand."

Rayleigh finally made his decision.

"I will reply to my captain."

It was merely a reply, without providing a clear answer.

Monger didn't care about Rayleigh's little trick; as he said, he was just making preparations for the final battle.

If the Roger Pirates could be an ally, he wouldn't mind offering a little help; if they were to become an enemy, he would not hesitate to nip them in the bud before they posed any threat to him.

If it were Monger three years ago, he might have wanted to see Roger at his peak.

But now, Monge...

His eyes were only on Im and the legendary Joy Boy.

He probably won't have the chance to see Joy Boy.

But Im was right in front of him.

However, Monger did not expect that when he started "stamp collecting", Newgate also began his "stamp collecting" journey.

Even before the navy, disguised as pirates, launched their attack, Ivan had already sent a distress signal to the fleet stationed nearby by the White Wolf Pirates.

The one who came to their aid was none other than Newgate, who had left the White Wolf Pirates and formed the Whitebeard Pirates.

Although he formed his own pirate crew like Rocks, Newgate would still return to the Sphinx every now and then.

Not just because the Sphinx is his birthplace.

This is also because Mongols and the other members of the White Wolf Pirates are all at Sphinx.

Just as Monger had thought.

When he was willing to give Newgate the same care as a father, Newgate also regarded him as a real father and a real family member.

Upon hearing that pirates dared to attack the White Wolf Alliance's merchant ship, Newgate, who happened to be passing by, immediately boarded his own ship and rushed to the scene.

"captain!"

Newgate was somewhat surprised to see Munger, but he still smiled happily.

"Gurararara, I didn't expect you to actually come out of the Sphinx, Captain. Now, people in the Navy and the World Government are going to have sleepless nights again."

From the boy he first met to now, Newgate has fully grown up, standing over six meters tall, like a giant in front of Munger.

However, Newgate knew very well that height did not represent strength. If Monger wanted to, he could also transform into a giant wolf tens of meters tall with his Devil Fruit ability.

"Newgate, what are you doing here?"

"Gurararara, of course it's because I want to go back to the Sphinx and tell you some news, Captain."

At twenty-two, Newgate not only had his signature beard but also his infectious laughter, gradually overlapping with the image in Monger's mind.

However, the Newgate of this world possesses strength at this age that is absolutely incomparable to his counterpart in another timeline.

Six months ago, Newgate encountered the current Navy Admiral Hines Oran at sea. With a single blow, he shattered the ice prison created by Hines Oran, frightening him into not daring to pursue.

The old man agreed to become a Marine Admiral for the World Government to enjoy life, not to risk his life. How many Berries does he get a month? He's over sixty years old, why would he risk his life against a young man in his early twenties like Newgate?

Winning might result in injury, and could even attract the White King Meng Ge; losing could ruin one's lifelong reputation and turn one into someone else's stepping stone.

So after failing to stop Newgate with a brief display of skill, Hines Oran became too lazy to make a move and instead summoned a group of musicians to continue playing music and dancing.

I just hope that Monge won't start another major war in the next two years. I hope he can stay in power for another two years and then resign and retire to his hometown on the grounds that he is too old.

Not intervening can also represent an attitude.

This signifies that Hines Oran acknowledges his helplessness regarding Newgate.

For a while.

The White Wolf Pirates were gaining even more momentum, while the Navy's morale was even lower.

If it weren't for the fact that the Navy also had two super rookies who, in their early twenties, successfully captured a great pirate.

Some member states are likely to lose faith in the navy.

As for the news Newgate mentioned.

"Kaido, come here right now!"

Newgate waved and introduced with a smile, "This is my newly adopted son. Don't let his young age fool you; in my opinion, he's no less capable than Lingling was when she was little!"

puff!
Upon hearing Newgate's words, Monger spat a mouthful of wine directly onto Evan's face.

"Who are you talking about?"
