One Piece: The World King Who Emerged from the White Town

To properly entertain the guests, they even hired a team of over a hundred professional chefs.

They are all very famous chefs in the culinary world, and almost each of them has a few dishes they are good at.

This is enough to explain Whitebeard's attitude.

Although Teach's move to the Dragon Hunter Guild was a slap in the face for him.

But Whitebeard had no intention of starting a war until he understood the true situation.

At their level of power and status, like Abel's, any thought could determine the life and death of countless people, and even change the world order, leaving no room for caution.

Of course, this doesn't mean Whitebeard had no temper.

Because anyone who thought that way, or who thought that the white-bearded man was already old, has already perished at sea.

this day.

Abel arrived at the appointment by boat, accompanied by his officials.

The group did not arrive in the Nightmare Battleship.

If you were to actually do that, it would undoubtedly give others the impression that you are being aggressive, provocative, and swaggering.

They didn't seem to be there for a banquet, but rather for the start of a war.

Therefore, Abel did not bring that many people with him.

Firstly, it was to give Whitebeard face, and secondly, it was to show that he was exceptionally courageous.

Since they had come to Whitebeard's territory, most of the Whitebeard Pirates were naturally present.

If war were to break out, we would undoubtedly suffer a huge loss in terms of numbers.

But Abel was not worried about that.

Because he knew very well that Whitebeard was not that kind of person.

Even if war were to break out, Whitebeard would issue a challenge in a fair and square manner, instructing Abel to go back and muster his troops, agree on a time and place, and have a real battle!

They wouldn't resort to such underhanded tactics.

Otherwise, he wouldn't be Whitebeard.

Furthermore, Abel was truly fearless!

These officers, along with the Whitebeard and Oz who can be 'summoned' at any time, are equivalent to a thousand troops with the [Noble Phantasm: River of the Dead], enough to challenge any force in the world.

Even the Whitebeard Pirates were completely fearless.

And not to mention he just received another epic buff, which puts him at the peak of his confidence.

Let alone Whitebeard, even if Im came, he would dare to pin him to the ground and beat him to a pulp!

Gone?

Let them get carried away!

"Dad, the person has arrived."

Marco gave Whitebeard a reminder.

The white-bearded man, who was gulping down wine, put down his glass and looked ahead.

A large group of people were walking towards them, and the person walking in the middle was none other than the 'Dragon Slayer Emperor' Abel, whose name was known but whose face had never been seen!

The rest of the group consisted of people who had recently gained prominence, including familiar faces from the Beasts Pirates and Big Mom Pirates such as Queen, Katakuri, and Smoothie.

Of course, the guy standing on the very edge was the one that Whitebeard felt most familiar with.

Marshall D. Teach!

Whitebeard never imagined that his usually honest "son," who often said he would stay on the Moby Dick for the rest of his life, would suddenly do something so astonishing and outrageous.

At the time, everyone thought he was joking, and some even egged him on.

When they saw Teach in the newspaper, they were truly shocked and were amazed!

"Senior Edward, I have brought my men to the banquet."

"Gurarararararar~ What a polite junior, much more pleasing to the eye than that 'Red-Haired' guy. Let's just call each other by our names, you can call me Whitebeard, I bet you wouldn't call me 'Dad' anyway."

When the two groups stood together, the atmosphere was slightly tense, even with a sense of confrontation.

But when Abel and Whitebeard broke the silence, relaxed smiles appeared on the faces of both sides.

Because the captain's attitude basically represents their attitude.

Regardless of what happens later, the two captains are currently on good terms, so as crew members, they absolutely cannot show any signs of displeasure.

That's not just trying to annoy the person in front of you, it's slapping your own captain in the face.

No rules!

Teach must be the most unhappy person right now.

His most anticipated scenario was undoubtedly a highly charged atmosphere upon meeting, followed by an immediate fight between the two sides, which would align with his objectives.

But that's obviously impossible.

Neither Abel nor Whitebeard are brainless people.

There are no irreconcilable conflicts between the two parties.

Abel simply called him Captain Whitebeard, since he couldn't bring himself to call him "father" or anything like that.

It's ridiculous to suddenly have an extra father for no reason.

Moreover, his relationship with the other party wasn't that close.

Just being polite is fine.

Whitebeard didn't care about any of that and simply had his 'sons' invite everyone to sit down.

Throughout the entire process, only Teach was ignored.

Almost everyone would glare at him.

Because Marco explained Teach's attitude to everyone after he returned, it undoubtedly made the Whitebeard Pirates think that Teach was a traitor.

There's still no clear answer as to whether the Whitebeard Pirates or the Dragon Hunter Guild is stronger, and you've already rushed over there. What kind of behavior is that?

The fact that they haven't started fighting yet is already a sign of respect for both captains.

After receiving these disdainful looks from his former companions, Teach chuckled, unconcerned, and found a place to sit down.

He was absolutely overjoyed.

That's right, that's exactly it, they're fiercely hostile towards me!

If he doesn't do this, he won't be able to act easily later and might provoke conflict between the two sides.

It could be said that the actions of the Whitebeard Pirates were exactly what Teach wanted.

He was overjoyed.

This attitude undoubtedly made Marco and the others even more unhappy.

Once everyone had arrived, Whitebeard didn't waste any words and directly announced the start of the banquet.

Then hundreds of chefs brought out all sorts of delicious dishes that are rarely seen on ordinary days.

Knowing that everyone has a big appetite, the portions of each dish were very generous.

After serving the dishes and making their presentation, they immediately went back to continue cooking.

The dishes were then served by the chef's team of servers, including the collection of empty plates.

Before long, all the dishes for the first round were served.

Saying that the aroma could be smelled for miles might be an exaggeration, but it certainly made many people's mouths water and even caused them to drool.

Upon seeing this, the white-bearded man laughed twice, raised his glass first, and announced the start of the banquet.

As a guest, Abel also showed respect to his host, raising his glass with a smile.

The two captains set a good example, and the rest of the crew naturally raised their glasses and drank the first glass of wine with gusto.

After a glass of wine, whether it was due to the alcohol or the lively atmosphere of the crowd, the distance between the two people seemed to shrink.

The sense of unfamiliarity immediately diminished considerably.

Some of the socialites had even started drinking with their arms around each other.

At this moment, it really felt like a banquet.

Whitebeard didn't seem to be in a hurry to talk about serious matters, nor did he seem to care why Teach left the Whitebeard Pirates to join the Dragon Hunter Guild.

They were drinking wine and eating meat together with Abel.

Looking at the lively banquet, he couldn't help but let out his very distinctive laugh.

It was as if inviting Abel was merely an excuse to hold a banquet.

After all, his physical condition is not as good as before.

Just like that, several hours passed in the blink of an eye.

Many people got quite drunk.

Some were singing loudly, some were dancing awkwardly together, and others were performing low-quality jokes and making exaggerated facial expressions, which made many people laugh out loud.

But what's coming will eventually come.

Abel put down his wine glass, a hint of drunkenness on his face.

He's had quite a bit to drink these past few hours.

And there was no cheating using gourmet cells.

There's no need for that; it just makes people look down on you for no reason.

His generous attitude made Whitebeard even happier, confirming that he hadn't misjudged him.
