Who told him to become the Pirate King!

Under normal circumstances.

Even if Kizaru were to fight two pirate emperors at the same time.

Kizaru can't win, but he's also unlikely to lose.

for example.

Assuming the Beasts Pirates and the Big Mom Pirates officially form an alliance, and Kaido of the Beasts and Charlotte Linlin officially join forces.

Kizaru even dared to laugh at Kaido's slowness and Big Mom's stupidity.

Even though he volunteered to deal with the two pirate emperors, Kizaru was not afraid at all.

after all.

Under the [Glitter Fruit], all beings are equal.

But there's a saying that's very well said.

All men are created equal, but some are more equal than others.

Kizaru's two enemies this time are Shiki Jr. and Whitebeard Jr.

The former is fine.

The latter is the key point.

Whitebeard II was truly a very special and rare enemy.

Kizaru's [Glint-Glint Fruit] grants him incredible speed, almost unmatched in the entire ocean.

However, Whitebeard Jr.'s Rumble-Rumble Fruit is by no means weak, and may even be stronger.

As recorded in the "Devil Fruit Encyclopedia".

The Rumble-Rumble Fruit is an "invincible" Devil Fruit!

When an invincible fruit meets an invincible master, it creates a super monster that no one can defeat!

Last time, Kizaru teamed up with Markus Mazsan to fight Whitebeard Jr., but the latter managed to escape.

This means that even in a two-on-one situation, and with one of his allies being one of the Five Elders, Kizaru would still have a hard time defeating Whitebeard Jr.

But now it's "one against two".

Kizaru is "one".

Dealing with just Whitebeard Jr. would be enough to give Kizaru a run for his money.

Add to that a powerful figure like the Golden Lion II, who can even "read minds," and how are they supposed to fight?!

From Kizaru's perspective.

If the person guarding Impel Down hadn't been him, but any other top-tier combatant in the Navy...

Whether it's the older generation like Sengoku, Garp, or Zephyr.

Or perhaps it's Akainu or Aokiji in their prime.

Even younger ones like Momousagi and Chaton...

No one can do it better than Kizaru!

After listening to Kizaru's report.

Sengoku fell silent instantly.

What could be more terrifying than encountering a "second great pirate"?

Of course, we encountered two "second-generation great pirates"!

Moreover, these two "second great pirates" are actually on the same ship!

Whitebeard II, Golden Lion II.

Even setting aside all other abilities, these two titles alone are enough to scare a large number of people.

And these two people have more than just "names"!

Whitebeard Jr. ate the invincible Rumble-Rumble Fruit.

The Golden Lion II obtained the Flying-Floating Fruit.

Two already incredibly powerful and unique Devil Fruits encountered an equally powerful and unique master.

These are two monsters!

"Borsalino, did the Golden Lion II ever tell you... who his captain is?"

The admiral remained silent for a long time before asking the question with a heavy heart.

Perhaps to ease the atmosphere, or perhaps to relieve his emotions, Sengoku deliberately adopted a relaxed tone.

"Could it be...Lox II?"

The problem that Kizaru is worried about.

The Warring States period could also have realized this.

If "Whitebeard II" and "Golden Lion II" were on the same ship at the same time.

Moreover, both of them were classified as "crew members," not the highest-ranking "captains."

That can only mean one thing—

On that ship, there was a monster even more terrifying than Whitebeard II or Golden Lion II—or rather, the "King of Monsters"—ruling over the other monsters!

Looking at the entire ocean.

During the Warring States period, there was only one man that came to mind.

It wasn't Gol D. Roger who later became the Pirate King.

Instead, it was Rocks D. Xebec, the former captain of the Rocks Pirates!

Upon seeing Whitebeard Jr. and Golden Lion Jr., Sengoku immediately thought of Rocks D. Xebec, the Rocks Pirates, and other potentially existing but yet-to-be-revealed great pirates with their own sons…

The admiral's imagination took a wild leap at that moment.

Is the Rocks Pirates about to make a comeback?

"King Shiki II did not answer this question, so the only information we have is that King Shiki II and Whitebeard II are pirates on the same ship."

Kizaru leaned back in his office chair once more, looking utterly exhausted.

"Since they are pirates on the same ship, they must have a 'pirate captain'."

"As for whether that 'pirate captain' is 'Rocks II,' I don't know."

After Kizaru said those words...

There was also no movement from the Warring States period.

The Den Den Mushi between the Fleet Admiral and the Admiral were still maintaining normal communication, but neither of them spoke for a long time.

To be honest.

Even if the Rocks Pirates, who once dominated the seas, were to truly "rise from the ashes."

Sengoku and Kizaru's moods are not that heavy yet.

Because when the Rocks Pirates dominated the seas, there were indeed many monsters on their ships.

But many others have yet to reach their prime.

Whitebeard, Golden Lion, Big Mom, all the beasts...

If all the "senior officers" and "trainee pirates" of the Rocks Pirates back then had reached their peak strength, they would have become beings comparable to the current Four Emperors...

Then the outcome of the "God Valley Incident" back then will definitely be changed directly!

Did the Pirate King and the Marine heroes join forces to destroy the Rocks Pirates?

If the Rocks Pirates were that strong, they could easily crush the Pirate King and the Marine heroes, along with the rest of the World Government forces that were guarding God Valley back then!

Rocks D. Xebec, Edward Newgate, Shiki, Charlotte Linlin, Kaido...

That makes five pirate emperors already!

Even if these people split up to fight Roger and Garp.

Roger and Garp each get two opponents, and one more!

Fortunately, while the Rocks Pirates were strong back then, they weren't so strong as to be incomprehensible.

But things are different now.

Based on the two who have already appeared—Whitebeard II and Golden Lion II.

These two "second generation" versions, even if weak, are not much weaker than Whitebeard and Golden Lion at their peak!

Kizaru had fought against Whitebeard Jr. and Golden Lion Jr., but he couldn't defeat them either.

This shows that Whitebeard Jr. and Golden Lion Jr. are at least on par with Marine Admirals and Pirate Emperors!

Both Whitebeard II and Golden Lion II ended up like this.

How strong can their captain be?

The answer to this question was unknown during the Warring States period.

But there is one thing he can be sure of.

If these "second generation pirates" continue to emerge, such as "Big Mom II" and "King of Beasts II," then...

The combined strength of this "Second Generation Pirates" will definitely be more terrifying than that of the "Rocks Pirates" back then!

The new world order is characterized by the division and fragmentation of the empire by the Four Emperors.

However, this "Second Generation Pirates" is already close to the strength of two pirate emperors just by its apparent strength!

How terrifying!

As the Fleet Admiral of the Navy, Sengoku felt uneasy even just thinking about the potential power of the "Second Generation Pirates" that seemed to be hidden beneath the surface of the water.

A thought similar to Kizaru flashed through Sengoku's mind.

Why is it only pirates who have a "second generation"?

Why doesn't the Navy have a "second generation"?

Why aren't these people in the navy?

At a time when the Warring States period was filled with melancholy.

Kizaru's voice suddenly came through the Den Den Mushi's receiver.

"Marshal of the Warring States Period, don't you think these two 'second-generation rulers' are a bit strange?"

Sengoku snapped out of his daze, picked up the Den Den Mushi's receiver, and asked in confusion.

"What's wrong?"

"What I mean is..."

Kizaru spoke slowly, carefully organizing his thoughts.

"If only one Whitebeard II had appeared, we could have understood his appearance as an accident."

"But in a short period of time, another Golden Lion II appeared."

"These two people, one ate the Rumble-Rumble Fruit and the other ate the Float-Float Fruit, both of which have been absent from the sea for many years. They are incredibly powerful Devil Fruits."

"Just collecting these powerful Devil Fruits requires a lot of effort."

"Not to mention that these two Devil Fruits just so happen to be in the bodies of 'Whitebeard Jr.' and 'Golden Lion Jr.'!"

Listening to Kizaru's analysis.

Zhan Guo frowned, vaguely sensing something.

"Borsalino, what exactly are you trying to say?"

"What I mean is..."

Kizaru stroked his chin, and the image of a friend flashed through his mind—a man known as "the world's greatest mind."

"What 'Whitebeard II', 'Golden Lion II'... "

"They are very likely not naturally born, but rather... artificially created!"

"Only in this way can we explain why two 'second great pirates' appeared on the high seas in such a short period of time."

Sengoku's expression turned completely serious.

"Borsalino, what are you implying? What are you doubting? What are you trying to express?"

Sengoku had already discerned the hidden meaning in Kizaru's words.

Hypothesis.

The so-called "Whitebeard Jr." and "Golden Lion Jr." are both artificially created powerful figures.

That would allow us to create these two "Great Pirate IIs".

At the same time, the two rare and powerful top-tier Devil Fruits, the Rumble-Rumble Fruit and the Float-Float Fruit, can be freely bestowed upon the forces of these two "second-generation great pirates".

Are they at sea?

Of course!

There might be only one!

A world government that ruled the seas for eight hundred years.

A world government that gathers the most powerful forces, the richest resources, and the most brilliant minds in the entire ocean!

Whitebeard Jr. and Golden Lion Jr. are actually "artificial humans" created by the World Government.

The Warring States period wanted to say that this conjecture was completely nonsense.

But he couldn't bring himself to say it.

As the Fleet Admiral of the Navy Headquarters.

Sengoku understood the terrifying darkness hidden beneath the light of the World Government even better than ordinary people!

Ordinary people might think that the Celestial Dragons, the world's nobles, represent the limit of "evil".

But actually.

The Celestial Dragons are merely the outward manifestation of evil within the World Government!

Putting aside other things.

The world government has been secretly conducting "human gigantification experiments" for hundreds of years.

Sengoku could not completely deny Kizaru's speculation.

"Don't you find it strange, Warring States Marshal?"

Kizaru said in a strange tone.

"Leaving aside the intelligence provided by that kid Storm."

"Whitebeard II first appeared on the cliff of the Red Earth Continent, thousands of meters high, and the Five Elders were the first to encounter him."

"The Golden Lion II first appeared in Impel Down, deep in the Calm Belt, a place that is not accessible to ordinary forces."

"Furthermore... Last time, we reported the MADS organization to the Five Elders, mentioning that the MADS organization had been rumored to have 'clones' back then."

"But the Five Elders directly forbade our navy from contacting any information related to the MADS organization."

"Marshal Sengoku, don't you really think that Whitebeard Jr. and Golden Shiki Jr. might be connected to the MADS organization from back then?"

Sengoku was speechless in the face of Kizaru's question.

Based on all the intelligence information gathered by the Navy so far, Whitebeard II and Golden Lion II are like clay figures that grew out of the mud, with no specific and reliable information about their origins or backgrounds.

The only news related to Whitebeard II came from Sengoku, who obtained it from Storm...

Sengoku fell silent, and Kizaru added another sentence.

"Fleet Admiral Sengoku, have you forgotten that 'Whitebeard' who attacked the naval recruit training camp? Perhaps we should now call him 'Whitebeard III,' that 'Edward Weevil'!"

Edward Weebull!

This name has evoked many memories of the Warring States period.

Ever since I received news of Edward Weevil's existence from Storm.

Sengoku subconsciously felt that this "Edward Weevil" might be related to the MADS organization from back then.

The Navy has not yet found a single "whitebeard".

Another new "Golden Lion II" has emerged!

Is it...

Just as Borsalino said...

What Edward Teach, Edward Weevil, Lane...

Were they all androids secretly created by the World Government...?

The Warring States period was incredibly exhausting.

What could be more embarrassing than discovering the existence of the "Second Generation Pirates"?

They discovered that the "Second Generation Pirates" were very likely a super pirate crew artificially created by their superiors, the World Government!

The navy is determined to fight the pirates to the bitter end.

Why would the World Government collude with pirates?

"Marshal of the Warring States Period, you know me."

Kizaru spoke slowly.

"I am the highest-ranking officer in the Special Science Unit and can go directly to Punk Hazard Island to meet with Dr. Vegapunk."

"This kind of topic about clones—"

"Enough! Borsalino!"

Sengoku abruptly interrupted Kizaru.

"The Navy only needs to capture pirates and uphold absolute justice."

Forget what you just said!

"If there's nothing else, go back to headquarters to report for duty."

"...I'm truly sorry, Marshal Sengoku."
