Who told him to become the Pirate King!

Chapter 103 The Gaze from the Emperor's Pirate Crew! (5 chapters, 20,000 words, please subscribe!)

New World, World of Totto Land, Whole Cake Island.

Standing quietly in the north of Cake Island, it resembles a cake castle with layers upon layers of sweet cakes.

Charlotte Linlin, the Pirate Emperor, Queen of Whole Cake Island, the strongest female pirate on the sea, and captain of the Big Mom Pirates, is enjoying her dessert for the day.

Each of these desserts, taken individually, contains enough sugar to be fatal to an average person.

But Charlotte Linlin was wolfing down her food.

One dessert cake after another was first given a special "soul" by the Soul-Soul Fruit.

Then, before these newborn special lives could even experience the beauty of the world, Charlotte Linlin stuffed them all into her mouth.

The wailing of the soul, inaudible to ordinary people, gradually faded into the depths of Charlotte Linlin's throat hell...

This is the Queen of Souls!

After finishing a large plate of desserts and cakes, Charlotte Linlin patted her belly contentedly.

Before the next fresh dessert was served, Charlotte Linlin glanced at her eldest son, who had been waiting patiently for a long time.

"Mama mama... Perospero."

Charlotte Linlin let out a cheerful laugh; in her full state, she was a fairly kind mother.

"After waiting so long, is there some 'big news' you want to tell me?"

"Hurry up and tell me! Don't delay my dessert time."

"Yes, Mom!"

Charlotte Perospero, the "Candy Duke" of the World of Warcraft, shuddered.

He unleashed the power of the Lick-Lick Fruit, creating a candy elevator to deliver a freshly made bounty to Charlotte Linlin.

"Today, the World Government suddenly issued a bounty on a new pirate and sent it to every member state across the entire ocean."

"According to the information on the bounty poster, the World Government refers to this pirate as 'Whitebeard Jr.'"

"White beard!?"

Upon hearing the name, Charlotte Linlin's eyes instantly lit up.

In the eyes of the world, the Four Emperors are pirate crews of the same level.

But in the eyes of the Four Emperors themselves—

Even among emperors, there were differences.

Although Charlotte Linlin was reluctant to admit it, in her mind, the four Pirate Emperors were indeed ranked in terms of strength...

Like Shanks, the captain of the Red-Haired Pirates who suddenly emerged this year.

The kid who was an apprentice on Roger's pirate crew back then has grown so strong that even Charlotte Linlin is a little scared.

However, no matter how the internal order of the Four Emperors' pirate crews is arranged.

There is one person whose position will absolutely never change—

White beard!

The strongest man in the ocean!

Even Charlotte Linlin acknowledged Whitebeard's strength.

Upon hearing the name "Whitebeard II," Charlotte Linlin immediately became interested.

She grabbed the bounty poster, then casually snapped the candy elevator released by Perospero, and bit it into her mouth like a lollipop.

"This appearance... he certainly had a nice white beard when he was young!"

Charlotte Linlin stared at Edward Teach's photo on the wanted poster, her eyes gleaming even brighter.

She and Whitebeard were both members of the Rocks Pirates, and they fought side by side in their youth.

Therefore, Charlotte Linlin was very familiar with what Whitebeard looked like when he was young.

She once even considered inviting Whitebeard to join her kingdom and become her husband...

After all, Charlotte Linlin and Edward Newgate are both pirates who really love "family".

From this perspective, Big Mom and Whitebeard are a match made in heaven.

Unfortunately, those days are too painful to recall.

Since the Rocks Pirates disbanded.

Big Mom and Whitebeard then parted ways.

They each formed their own pirate crews, each possessed their own territory, and successively became the universally recognized Pirate Emperors...

The regret of not being able to start a family with Whitebeard suddenly welled up in Charlotte Linlin's heart at this moment.

Big Mom didn't even bother to look at the bounty on "Whitebeard Jr."

She simply stared at Whitebeard II's face and uttered words that sent chills down Charlotte Perospero's spine.

"Perospero, what do you think about having Whitebeard as my new husband?"

"I'll mobilize all my forces, even if it means turning the entire ocean upside down, to find this white-bearded man for me!"

……

The New World, Wano Country, Onigashima.

The Beasts Pirates also obtained Edward Teach's wanted poster, which shocked the seas.

Beast Castle, third floor, banquet hall.

A grand banquet that has lasted for several days is drawing to a close.

With a hint of clarity, Beast Kai sat in the main seat and announced to the rest of the people in the hall.

Starting today!

"Jack will become the face of our Beasts Pirates!"

"Furthermore, Runti and Page One have been promoted to Flying Six!"

The Lizard King died at the hands of the White Dragon.

He was a member of the Beasts Pirates, but he is now dead.

With the Lizard King dead, his former position naturally became vacant.

After a fierce and bloody internal competition and infighting.

At just 22 years old, Fishman Jack defeated a host of powerful competitors and became one of the three standouts of the Beasts Pirates!

at the same time.

Two Zoan-type Ancient Zoan Devil Fruits that were sent to Wano Country by Donquixote Doflamingo a few days ago.

After a daring act, it was stolen directly by Runti.

Of the two Ancient Zoan Devil Fruits, Ulti kept one for herself and gave the other to her younger brother.

Kaido of the Beasts was furious about the "stolen" two Zoan-type Ancient Zoan-type Dragon-Dragon Fruits.

However, since Ulti and Page One had already eaten the Devil Fruits, he had no way to revive them.

He may be spared the death penalty, but he cannot escape punishment.

Taking advantage of Jack's rise to power.

Kaido of the Beasts also had Ulti and Page One accept challenges from the other members of the Beasts Pirates.

result.

Ulti and Page One relied on their rich combat experience cultivated since childhood, as well as the abilities they had just acquired from the [Pachycephalosaurus/Spinosaurus Fruit].

The siblings not only withstood the thunderous wrath of Kaido of the Beasts, but also defeated a host of other competitors, and were promoted to the Flying Six of the Beasts Pirates!

Since this battle, Runti and Page have made a name for themselves and secured their positions.

We have lost a lizard king.

But in return, they received a mammoth and two new dinosaurs.

Kaido of the Beasts was in a pretty good mood.

Just then, two pirate henchmen burst into the banquet hall carrying a bounty poster for Whitebeard Jr.

"Lord Kaido! Big news! Big news has happened!"

"Whitebeard! The World Government has issued a bounty on Whitebeard Jr.!"

Just as everything was quiet, the shouts of the pirate henchmen echoed throughout the banquet hall.

"White beard?"

"The Second Generation?"

"How is that possible?"

Kaido of the Beasts was equally confused. He stared intently at the bounty posters held high in the hands of the two henchmen, and instantly saw that face that was etched into his memory.

That's not an old man's white beard.

It was the young Whitebeard from the Rocks Pirates era!!

"Orororo!"

Kaido stared at Edward Teach's bounty poster for a while, then suddenly burst into a deafening laugh.

"A newcomer who looks exactly like the young Whitebeard? Could he be Newgate's son?!"

next moment.

Kaido of the Beasts saw Edward Teach's bounty poster.

The bounty is a whopping 1.999 billion Berries!

This number far exceeds 99.99% of the pirates on this sea.

Even the combined bounties of many of the greatest pirate crews in the New World might not reach this figure.

Kaido of the Beasts can understand what this number represents.

Within the current Four Emperors pirate crews.

Aside from the captains Whitebeard, Red Hair, Beast, and Big Mom.

The highest bounty for the other members is only around 10 billion Berries.

Of course, the Red-Haired Pirates are a special case, as their average bounty is extremely high.

Take the Beasts Pirates as an example.

Kaido of the Beasts has a bounty of 4,611,100,000 Berries.

Below him, the second-in-command of the entire Beasts Pirates, King the Wildfire, has a bounty of only 1.39 billion Berries.

The amount of the bounty is related to King the Wildfire's identity—he is not the captain, but the second-in-command of the Beasts Pirates.

But more importantly, it is related to the strength of King of the Wildfire.

The World Government will set a bounty of nearly 20 billion Berries for this "Whitebeard Jr."

This means that...

At least in the eyes of the World Government, this "Whitebeard Jr." is far stronger than the second-in-command of the Emperor Pirates!

A surge of ambition instantly welled up within Kaido of the Beasts.

"Men! Go find this Whitebeard Jr.! I want to invite him to join the Beasts Pirates!"

"If I can successfully recruit this Whitebeard Jr., I can defeat all of them—'Redhead,' 'Linlin,' and even 'Whitebeard'!"

"Everyone, get moving! Ooh-ro-ro—"

……

A new world, on an island.

The Red-Haired Pirates, who just became members of one of the Four Emperors' pirate crews this year, are currently stationed here.

"Mihawk, thank you..."

Red-haired Shanks thanked the Den Den Mushi.

Mihawk, the Hawkeye, didn't say much on the other end of the Den Den Mushi, only coldly replying.

"I'm also very interested in the strength of this 'Whitebeard II,' and perhaps you can help me find him."

After saying that, Hawkeye Mihawk hung up the Den Den Mushi immediately.

"Hawkeye..."

Beckman, standing to the side, smiled and shook his head.

"He's still the same as always."

"I really want to have a drink with Hawkeye again..."

Shanks put the Den Den Mushi aside, picked up a glass of alcohol with his remaining right hand, raised it towards a certain direction of the sea, and then drank the entire glass in one gulp.

It's as if this is how you clink glasses with Hawkeye from a distance...

"Captain, what do you think of this 'newcomer'?"

Beckman's smile faded, and he spoke in a deep voice.

"The fact that the World Government has set such a high bounty for Whitebeard Jr. means that he must have done something 'major' that we don't know about, which has made the World Government realize his strength and the level of threat he poses."

"How do I see? I see with my eyes, of course! Haha..."

Shanks, holding the bounty order that Hawkeye had just faxed over, was about to say something witty when Beckman glared at him fiercely.

"Don't be so serious, Beckman."

"New people appear on the high seas every moment, like the White Dragon before—"

"White Dragon and Whitebeard, they're not in the same league at all!"

Beckman interrupted his captain without holding back, offering a somewhat sarcastic comment.

"One bounty is less than 100 million, while the other is close to 2 billion."

"The former is nothing more than the government's lackeys, while the latter's power can shake the entire ocean!"

"No matter what, he's got a white beard!"

"so what?"

Shanks put his arm around Beckman's shoulder and said with a grin.

"A white beard is a white beard, but we are us too!"

"This is different, Captain."

Beckman snatched the bounty poster from Shanks' hand and shook it vigorously.

"The Whitebeard Pirates will definitely not let go of their attention to this 'Whitebeard Jr.'"

"Both the Beasts Pirates and the Big Mom Pirates have very strong ambitions and will not easily give up on a great pirate with such a high bounty."

"We must take some action!"

"You mean we should recruit this 'Whitebeard II'?"

Shanks roughly understood Ben Beckman's subtext, and he stared intently at Whitebeard II's face.

"don't want!"

"what?"

I said, no!

Shanks shook his head vigorously.

"The thought of being companions with a man with a white beard..."

"This feeling is like when you're trying to pee and a stranger is standing behind you, you can't pee."

"Let things take their natural course, Beckman."

"The storms of the new era have not yet begun to blow..."

……

Paradise, Naval Headquarters.

Sengoku, with a solemn expression, and Kizaru, whose face was full of pain, descended from Mary Geoise and returned to Marine Headquarters.

After entering the headquarters building and arriving at the Marshal's office.

Kizaru, who had been wearing a pained expression, finally couldn't help but speak.

"Marshal Sengoku, I suffered very serious injuries in the previous battle and need to request leave!"

When Kizaru asked for leave, he did so with absolute certainty, without any of his usual slick and lazy tone.

Sengoku glanced at Kizaru.

He didn't care about Kizaru's injuries.

You speak with such strength, yet you claim to be seriously injured?

Stop lying!

You wage thief!

"I have other matters to attend to. You can go to the medical department by yourself later."

The Warring States period briefly explained the matter and then skipped over the topic of "criticizing falsehoods".

Even as a naval admiral, he doesn't get to enjoy holidays.

You, a naval admiral, are trying to slack off?

Don't even think about it!

Seeing that Sengoku wanted to downplay the matter, Kizaru was about to say something more.

Suddenly at that moment, there was a knock on the door.

Lieutenant General He stood at the door of the Marshal's office and closed the door behind him as he entered.

"Sengoku, have you handed over all the previous analysis to the Five Elders?"

"Everything has been said, including the speculation about 'the white-bearded man's illegitimate son'..."

"Um……"

Lieutenant General Tsuru nodded, hesitated for a moment, and then spoke.

"Actually, I just remembered that we seem to have discovered something about 'Edward Teach' quite a while ago."

These words were spoken.

Sengoku and Kizaru's expressions immediately changed.

"Ah-He, what did you find?"

"Around the beginning of this year, the name 'Edward Teach' appeared at headquarters once already."

Lieutenant General Tsuru spoke slowly.

"Information regarding this 'white beard' that looks like it sprang from a rock..."

Why don't we ask Storm?

"Vongola Storm!"
