One Piece: Establishing a Pirate Family

Vista stared blankly at the giant.

"Yes! We were attacked by pirates. A group of pirates suddenly appeared, and my father fought against them to protect the merchant ship. He died in the fire and left me behind. Waaah."

As he said this, Vista broke down in tears.

His father died, and he became an orphan.

Upon hearing about Bistad's ordeal, everyone fell silent; no one joked anymore.

Even Whitebeard's smile vanished, replaced by a sorrowful expression.

Seeing the child crying in front of him, the white-bearded man felt a pang of heartache.

"Whether the child stays with me or not, I will protect you! Forever!"

Hundred-bearded man looked at Vista and reached out his hand, gazing at Vista with affection.

Vista stared at the white-bearded man with red, swollen eyes.

Will you protect me?

Vista looked at the white-bearded man and said.

"Of course! I will protect all my family members. Join our Whitebeard Pirates! Be my sons! From now on, carry my name on your shoulders and sail the seas."

Whitebeard reached out and placed his hand in front of Vista.

Bista looked at the large hand in front of him.

She timidly placed her hand on the white-bearded man's hand.

Whitebeard pulled Vista up with one hand.

"From now on, you will be my son!"

Whitebeard said with a smile.

"Old! Dad!"

Bista was a little unaccustomed to it! His father had just died, and now another old man had come along.

"Kurarararararar! Children, prepare a feast! Let's welcome Vista to the party!"

Whitebeard took Vista's hand and addressed everyone in the Whitebeard Pirates.

"Oh! Welcome, Vista!"

"Have a party!"

All the crew members of the Whitebeard Pirates shouted excitedly.

Everyone jumped up.

Marco walked over to Bista.

"Hey! Bro! I just saved you!"

Marco leaned on Vista's shoulder and said with a smile.

"Thank you!"

Besta looked at the pineapple-headed man in front of him and subconsciously thanked him.

Chapter 172 Flying Pirates

"Marco! Stop bragging! It was Dad who saved you! Hahahaha!"

The crew member standing nearby ruthlessly exposed Marco's demeanor.

"What? If I hadn't rushed into the inferno, Vista would probably be dead by now!"

Marco looked at the man and retorted.

"Hehehehe! I'm not listening!"

The crew members quickly ran away, heading towards the banquet.

"Let's go! We'll go to the banquet too!"

Marco pulled Vista along as he spoke.

As the campfire was lit, various kinds of food were brought out, and everyone sat around the fire, eating and chatting happily.

Whitebeard sat in the middle of the group, his smile never fading.

The banquet lasted until evening.

Everyone was full and lying on the deck.

Whitebeard was also sitting on the deck, holding a jug of wine and looking at the stars in the sky.

"Dad!"

Bista walked over.

"It's Vista! What do you need from Dad?"

Whitebeard smiled and asked after seeing that it was Vista.

"Dad! I want revenge! That pirate crew that destroyed my family must be punished!"

As Bista spoke, his eyes were filled with hatred.

Whitebeard took a sip of his drink and then silently looked at Vista.

"Dad! Will you help me?"

Vista stood in front of Whitebeard and spoke cautiously.

Even though Whitebeard was sitting, he was still much taller than Vista when he was standing.

The immense pressure made Vista uneasy.

Do you remember what that pirate looked like?

Whitebeard suddenly spoke up.

This instantly filled Vista's previously uneasy heart with joy.

"Dad! Are you willing to help me?"

"I asked, surprised," Vista asked.

"Kula la la la la! You're my son! How can a father not help his son!"

Whitebeard took a sip of wine and said with a smile.

"Dad! I don't know what the pirates who killed my father looked like, but I know their pirate flag. I'll draw it for you right now!"

Vista was a little anxious, so he quickly found something to draw on the deck and drew it for Whitebeard.

Whitebeard fell silent as he looked at the pirate flag above.

It turns out to be a pirate crew under Shiki the Golden Lion!

However! Since they dared to harm his family, then he should be prepared for war!

"Kura la la la! Vista, don't worry! Dad will definitely bring this murderer to you!"

Whitebeard smiled and looked at Vista.

"Thank you, Dad!"

Bista had no idea that his request would spark a war.

……

A ship is sailing on the sea.

"Hahaha! Captain! We've caught a fat sheep today! I never expected that merchant ship to have so much cargo!"

The pirates on the ship were having a feast celebrating their looting of the day.

"Hahahaha! I never expected that this wrecked stern section of the merchant ship would be so lucrative."

The captain chuckled and picked up his glass to drink.

"Captain! Do you think Boss Shiki will object to what we're doing? This is Whitebeard Pirates territory! Won't we get into trouble if we plunder like this?"

Just as everyone was enjoying the banquet, an untimely and worried remark was uttered.

As soon as these words came out, the whole place fell into silence.

They were no strangers to Whitebeard; he was a big shot who shared a name with their captain.

No one dared to speak after hearing this.

The good atmosphere was ruined just like that.

The captain, fueled by alcohol, roared.

"What's there to be afraid of! We're under the command of the Flying Pirates. Would Whitebeard really go to war with the Flying Pirates over a merchant ship?"

It seemed that these words gave him a sliver of courage.

"I'll take that white-bearded man's head sooner or later."
