One Piece meme: Starting with eight extraordinary skills

"Luckily, my father is knowledgeable and saw through this kid's scheme at a glance, otherwise we would have almost fallen into his trap!"

Marco could easily imagine the bloodshed that would ensue if they kept Yang Ming out and word got out that Whitebeard was unwell and unable to receive guests.

The Four Emperors may seem powerful and imposing, but in reality, they are the target of everyone's hatred. Countless pirates, marines, and bounty hunters want to hunt their heads. Even among the Four Emperors, they are not on good terms. Given the opportunity, they would be happy to kick each other when they are down.

If outsiders speculate that Edward Newgate, the Whitebeard, is in poor health, it will surely attract countless wolves and tigers.

The more Marco thought about it, the more alarming it became. He held Yang Ming in higher regard, finding the young man unfathomable and someone he had to be wary of!

Facing the gazes of the pirates, Yang Ming stopped three meters away from Edward Newgate.

Only by getting close to Edward Newgate can one truly appreciate the aura of the world's strongest man. It is an intangible aura that constantly exerts a powerful pressure, making people subconsciously submit.

Yang Ming sat cross-legged on the deck, and as if they were old friends, took out bowls and plates from his spatial ring, poured full cups of sake for both of them, and looked at the giant-like man in front of him, and smiled:

"Don't worry about me poisoning the wine. This is a collection I looted from Kaido's house after I killed him. It's said to be an old wine that's been sealed away for decades, and it tastes really good."

The speaker has no intention, the listener has the heart.

Marco's eyes suddenly sharpened, and he thought to himself:

"I'm coming!"

"This kid's words are loaded with meaning, full of hidden meaning. He's testing Dad again!"

A rough, calloused hand gripped the bowl and plate. The old man frowned slightly, pursed his lips, and said:

"Kid, if you want to drink with me, is this the kind of thing you serve people?"

"Children, bring out my special bowls and plates so that our guests from afar can have a good look at them!"

Marco felt a chill run down his spine, knowing that this was his father's counterattack against Yang Ming from the sidelines.

"As expected of the old man, that was a brilliant move. He seemed to be talking about the dishes, but he was actually saying that our Whitebeard Pirates are not like the Beasts Pirates, who can be easily manipulated by the Navy!"

Marco immediately went into the kitchen and took out a giant's special bowl and plate.

This bowl, over two meters in diameter, could be used as a bathtub by an ordinary person, but for Edward Newgate, with his white beard, it was merely used to hold wine.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, but your health is different."

As if by magic, Yang Ming took out the gourd that Kaido of the Beasts always carried from his spatial ring, personally poured a full bowl of wine for Whitebeard Edward Newgate, and laughed:

"Please drink to your heart's content today, I have plenty of wine here!"

The layman looks at the excitement and the insider looks at the doorway.

Even the most oblivious people, such as Ace and Diamond Jozu, have now noticed the secret confrontation between Yang Ming and Whitebeard.

In particular, Yang Ming's move of taking out an object from his spatial ring was astonishing, as if it were created out of thin air. Even Ace couldn't help but rub his eyes, trying to figure out from Yang Ming's clues where he had hidden the wine.

But in the end, naturally, nothing came of it.

After downing the entire bowl of wine in one gulp, the white-bearded Edward Newgate narrowed his eyes slightly, a sharp glint flashing within them, and said:

"Young man, you've come all this way to see me, you couldn't have come just to make fun of me, could you?"

Chapter 261 Humans are creatures capable of unleashing extraordinary power for those other than themselves.

On the vast, azure sea, sails a notorious pirate ship, resembling a giant white sperm whale speeding across the surface, a sight both magnificent and breathtaking.

Wherever this legendary pirate ship, famous throughout the world, passed, it instilled fear in all merchant ships, armed ships, and pirate ships that they retreated in respect, daring not to approach at all.

The Moby Dick swiftly carved a path through the open sea, its massive size on full display to the world under the blazing sun.

The Moby Dick is over 100 meters long and over 20 meters wide. Standing on this ship feels like landing on a small island. It is very stable and you can't feel the waves at all.

On the three masts, each as thick as five people could hug, were wooden three-hole pulleys less than a meter long. Since the pirate who originally controlled the sails was affected by Yang Ming's Conqueror's Haki and was now unconscious, Ace had to take over the job. He was manipulating the three-hole pulleys to adjust the mast ropes, thereby causing the sails to deflect and making the ship sail smoothly.

While slacking off at work, Ace secretly listened to Yang Ming's conversation with Whitebeard, thinking to himself:

"I've really let my brothers down!"

"Look at him now, chatting and laughing with Whitebeard, while I can only do the hardest and most tiring work. What a tragedy!"

Just thinking about how he had come to challenge Edward Newgate with great enthusiasm not long ago, wanting to prove that he was no worse than Yang Ming, made Ace feel a burning pain on his face.

Too bad!

Comparing goods will only lead to waste, comparing people will only make you miserable!

Just as Ace was secretly watching the drama unfold, he suddenly saw Yang Ming raise his hand and point.

Wait!

He meant...

Ace looked left and right, and saw that Marco and the others had all turned their gazes toward him.

Seeing Ace's bewildered expression, Yang Ming smiled inwardly and said to the white-bearded Edward Newgate:

“I came here for him.”

Upon hearing this, Diamond Joz looked strange, seemingly misunderstanding Yang Ming and thinking he had some kind of peculiar fetish.

Diamond Joz isn't very bright, just like his physique: muscular but simple-minded.

Marco, on the other hand, was different. As the eldest son of the Whitebeard Pirates, Marco recalled Yang Ming's performance along the way and secretly wondered:

"Ace is just a supernova of this generation. What makes him worthy of this Shura Admiral's personal visit?"

"Could it be that there's something I don't know about this?"

With a loud thud, the white-bearded Edward Newgate slammed the dishes onto the deck.

This action truly terrified Marco and the others.

In Marco and the others' memory, their father was always kind and gentle, and rarely lost his temper.

What exactly happened here?

Marco and the others were filled with doubts, but only Edward Newgate, the white-bearded man, knew the answer.

The moment Edward Newgate saw Ace, he immediately recognized the shadow of Gol D. Roger in him, thanks to his powerful intuition.

Whitebeard Edward Newgate and Pirate King Roger became friends after a fight. Although they were rivals, they admired each other and were close friends for many years. That's why Edward Newgate easily forgave Ace for attacking him and kept him on his pirate ship, intending to train him.

If Ace had succeeded, he might have become the heir to the Whitebeard Pirates!

Otherwise, if it were an ordinary supernova who dared to assassinate him, he would have killed him long ago and thrown him into the sea to feed the sharks!

This is not surprising at all!

Piracy is a high-risk profession, especially for the Four Emperors, who are among the best.

Unless there are special circumstances, who would take in someone who constantly wants to take their life?

This gives us a glimpse into the plight of the world. To survive on this vast ocean without a background, connections, or ability is utterly miserable; one can only become a nobody.

For this reason, Whitebeard Edward Newgate thought more deeply than others and easily connected the dots to Ace's identity, guessing that the Navy had already obtained relevant evidence or clues, which is why this Shura Admiral came to his door.

"Do you mean you want me to hand over my own child?"

Edward Newgate, with his white beard, suddenly opened his eyes, a terrifying glint flashing within them.

At that moment, a powerful aura suddenly erupted from Edward Newgate, the strongest man in the world, and a Conqueror's Haki that was unique to him was fully unleashed. A huge storm suddenly arose from him, causing the unconscious pirates around him to become disoriented, and even Marco and others could only struggle to resist.

"Dad..."

Marco's pupils contracted slightly, and he crossed his hands to protect his forehead, his heart filled with turmoil.

He had never seen his father so angry before!

But what surprised Marco even more was that the young general who was facing his father's sharp edge seemed to be rooted to the spot, and his whole body remained completely still.

The oncoming gale was like a knife cutting through him, making Yang Ming's clothes and navy cloak flutter wildly, and even making his bangs in a mess.

As their invisible Conqueror's Haki clashed, countless red and black lightning bolts flashed and vanished within a three-meter gap between them, filled with a suppressed destructive power that sent chills down the spines of onlookers.

Only by facing the imposing presence of Edward Newgate, the white-bearded man, can one truly feel that he is not a frail old man with one foot in the grave, but a king who commands respect across the world!

Edward Newgate's kind and gentle demeanor was only towards the children in his pirate crew; when facing enemies, however, one could feel the biting cold wind of winter.

"I will not hand over my own child so easily. If the navy wants to take him by force, then they can prepare to step over my dead body!"

After saying this, as if to strengthen the credibility of his words, Edward Newgate, with his white beard, suddenly mustered a third of his strength, clenched his fist, and slammed it into the air to the right.

"Crack!"

The punch landed with a powerful whooshing sound, creating spiderweb-like cracks in the air.

Immediately afterwards, an invisible force of vibration spread out, creating towering waves on the sea. Before these waves could even settle, they were shattered by the aftershocks, turning into droplets that sprinkled onto the ship like a gentle drizzle.

Sparse splashes of water landed on the deck, creating a misty spray, and a beautiful rainbow appeared in the air, making the old man appear even more robust and upright.

Seeing the terrifying power that Edward Newgate, with his white beard, unleashed with every move, everyone present was filled with mixed emotions.

Blackbeard, hiding behind his companions, saw this and his eyes lit up, thinking to himself:

"Man, that's how it should be!"

Paramecia type! The Tremor-Tremor Fruit!

This is a Devil Fruit capable of causing natural disasters. It has the ability to create tremors at any time, causing the atmosphere to vibrate, the sea to split open, and tsunamis to erupt. Its power is so great that it can destroy a country at any time. It was described by Fleet Admiral Sengoku as having the power to destroy the world.

Of course, while the Tremor-Tremor Fruit is powerful, it also has its flaws.

According to the principle of action and reaction, the more frequently the Tremor-Tremor Fruit is used, the greater the force exerted, which will place a heavier burden on the body and cause various problems, both big and small.

If an ordinary person obtained the Tremor-Tremor Fruit, they wouldn't be able to unleash the power to cause a natural disaster; they would likely be killed by the tremors themselves first.

Only a terrifyingly strong individual like Edward Newgate, with a physique comparable to a giant, could wield the Tremor-Tremor Fruit and make it glow in his hands.

Of course, the frequent use of the Tremor-Tremor Fruit over the decades has also caused serious hidden injuries to Edward Newgate's body, and he now needs various medical means to prolong his life.

If you think about it carefully, Garp, Fleet Admiral Sengoku, and Chief Instructor Zeff are all from the same era as Whitebeard Edward Newgate, and they are all still alive and kicking, in great health, and enjoying a good life. This shows the extent of the hidden injuries that Whitebeard Edward Newgate had accumulated to cause him to be in this state.

But even a fallen camel is bigger than a horse; even though Edward Newgate was no longer in his prime, he was still not prey for others to covet.

"Whitebeard, you've misunderstood me."

Yang Ming, as if playing a prank, smiled mischievously and said:

“Ace and I have been friends for many years. I came here today specifically to tell him something important.”

awkward!
