Who told him to become the Pirate King!

Chapter 317 The Sea Boils!

The Emperor Falls! The White Dragon Is Crowned!

The latest World Economic Daily's front-page headline has undoubtedly shaken the entire ocean.

Despite the significant changes in the pirate power structure of the New World this year.

For example, the "youngest" Pirate Emperor, Red-Haired Shanks, successfully reached the top;

For example, after Shanks reached the top, he was severely defeated by another newly emerged great pirate;

For example, the "Four Emperors" system had only recently been established when a universally acknowledged "Fifth Pirate Emperor" appeared on the high seas...

However, no matter what, the original three pirate emperors still hold their positions very securely.

White beard!

BIG MOM!

Kaido of the Beasts!

Regardless of how the outside world discusses the pirate power structure in the New World.

These three pirate emperors remain like towering mountains, inspiring awe and reverence in all pirates.

But just today, the World Economic Journal reported—

Queen of All Nations, born destroyer, evil god BIG MOM defeated?

Moreover, he was defeated by the Seven Warlords of the Sea, Haku.

If we consider the Pirate Emperor as the pinnacle of pirates in the New World...

Then there is no doubt.

Upon seeing the New World pirates on the front page of the World Economic Daily, only three words came to their minds—

The sky is falling!

Big Mom's defeat and the destruction of the Big Mom Pirates...

The other Emperor Pirate crews were the most affected.

……

The New World, a certain sea area, the Moby Dick.

As has been the case for decades, a family-style banquet is being held on the deck of the Moby Dick.

The host of the banquet was none other than the newly appointed second division captain of the Whitebeard Pirates—

Blackbeard Marshall D. Teach!

"Teach..."

The white-bearded man raised the barrel of wine in his hand and toasted his son.

Everyone has their own adventure.

"All my words are in this glass of wine... glug glug!"

With a hearty laugh, Whitebeard downed all the liquor in the barrel in one gulp.

Before him, Teach, with tears in his eyes, also drank the wine in his glass in one gulp.

"Dad!!"

The other members of the Whitebeard Pirates nearby couldn't help but tear up.

"Teach, are you really leaving?"

"Teach, let's stay on the ship a little longer!"

"Teach, we're all your family!"

Today's "banquet" is less a "celebration" and more a "farewell."

The Whitebeard Pirates are seeing off Blackbeard Teach!

Blackbeard Teach had been lying low in the Whitebeard Pirates for many years, but was discovered by Whitebeard because of a "name clash" and appointed as the captain of the second division.

Whitebeard placed high hopes on Blackbeard Teach, wishing that after his death, Blackbeard Teach could take up the banner of the "Whitebeard Pirates" and continue this fictional "Edward Family"...

Therefore, Blackbeard Teach is no longer suitable to stay in the Whitebeard Pirates.

In Whitebeard's view, Teach, who joined the Whitebeard Pirates at a young age, was good in every way, but still lacked experience.

To be precise.

Blackbeard Teach is severely lacking in experience as a captain!

There was also an apprentice on Roger's pirate crew back then.

That intern, after leaving Roger's Pirates, ventured out to sea alone, found a large group of like-minded "companions," and eventually formed the mighty Red-Haired Pirates.

Whitebeard's expectation of Teach was—

Teach could also find a group of trustworthy partners to form his "Blackbeard Pirates"!

At that time.

In the New World, the flags of the Whitebeard Pirates and the Blackbeard Pirates shine brightly together.

Isn't it beautiful?

It was precisely because of Whitebeard's expectation that this farewell banquet was held today.

It’s different in the past.

If Blackbeard Teach continues to stay in the Whitebeard Pirates, he won't get much more experience.

Only by venturing out into the world can Blackbeard Teach learn how to be a good captain.

Blackbeard Teach understood Whitebeard's good intentions and was willing to accept them.

In his early years, he joined the Whitebeard Pirates, only wanting to use this powerful pirate crew to seize the "dream fruit" in his heart—the Logia-type Dark-Dark Fruit.

But decades have passed in the blink of an eye.

Blackbeard Teach has grown from a child into a middle-aged man, from an intern into the captain of the Second Division...

The [Logia-type Dark-Dark Fruit] has yet to appear.

Since they can't find the Dark-Dark Fruit in the Whitebeard Pirates, let the Blackbeard Pirates go find it!

This was Blackbeard Teach's true thought at that moment.

Therefore, even when the other members of the Whitebeard Pirates standing nearby sincerely tried to persuade him...

Blackbeard Teach had also made up his mind.

After finishing this drink and this meal, he was going to say to the white-bearded man—

Goodbye, Dad. Today I'm setting sail...

Temporarily leaving the Whitebeard Pirates, becoming the captain of his own crew, finding the Dark-Dark Fruit, and reaching the pinnacle of life...

Just as Blackbeard Teach was full of ambition.

Marco's exclamation rang out on the deck of the Moby Dick.

"Big news! Big news, Dad!"

Phoenix, holding today's World Economic News, rushed to Whitebeard's side as fast as it could.

"Big Mom was defeated by the White Dragon—Dad, why are you drinking again?"

"Forgive me, Marco, this is the last cup..."

The white-bearded man instinctively protected his barrel—Marco had been limiting his alcohol intake as his health continued to deteriorate.

"By the way, what did you just say?"

"BIG MOM, Charlotte Linlin!"

Marco glanced helplessly at his father and shook the newspaper in his hand.

"That woman has been defeated! She's even lost Whole Cake Island! White Dragon has replaced Big Mom as the new Pirate Emperor!"

The moment Marco finished speaking, the once lively deck of the Moby Dick became so quiet you could hear a pin drop.

The seasoned members of the Whitebeard Pirates all wore expressions of utter shock.

Only the Pirate Emperor can understand the Pirate Emperor.

The Whitebeard Pirates were well aware of the strength of the Big Mom Pirates.

As for Big Mom, although that old woman is weaker than her father, she is still a top-tier powerhouse on the high seas.

After a deathly silence, the ship was filled with gasps of alarm.

"How is that possible!?"

"That's Big Mom!"

"The White Dragon actually defeated Big Mom?"

Are all newcomers these days monsters?

To know.

Even the Red-Haired Pirates, which only rose to prominence this year, have only managed to fight against the Big Mom Pirates.

White Dragon directly defeated Big Mom and wiped out the Big Mom Pirates!

From this perspective.

The White Dragon's strength surpasses that of the previous Shanks!

Blackbearded Teach, who had just been the host of the banquet, couldn't help but open his mouth wide after reading the news in the World Economic Daily, revealing a set of uneven, rotten teeth.

He was just dreaming about how to reach the pinnacle of life...

But the sudden news reports told Blackbeard Teach—

Monsters appear every year, but this year there seem to be more than usual!

At this moment.

Besides being shocked, Blackbeard Teach felt an even greater sense of urgency.

He had been "lying low" for far too long!

"If we continue wasting time with the Whitebeard Pirates, how much stronger will those monsters—Red-Haired Shanks, White Dragon, Red Dragon Emperor—become?"

Blackbeard Teach felt that the "setting sail" plan was urgent!

Whitebeard was equally shocked and surprised by the news.

Unlike the others, Whitebeard, who had once been on the same boat as Big Mom, was well aware of the woman's terrifying strength.

"Lingling..."

The white-bearded man raised his wine glass with a wistful expression.

"Roger..."

Another "old friend" has left, and even the white-bearded man's heart, which seemed as hard as steel, softened for a moment.

How much longer can his body hold on?

"Gurara la la!"

The white-bearded man masked the old man's weakness with loud laughter.

"Sons, let's drink!"

The white-bearded man's loud laughter completely dispelled the shock, tension, and even a trace of fear that had been spreading on the Moby Dick.

"Dad! Let's drink!"

"Dad is the strongest!"

"Dad has a white beard!!"

……

The New World, the Rischelled Islands.

The Red-Haired Pirates, having regrouped, gathered here.

"It's been a while since I've been here, how did Rischirid Island become such a horrible mess?"

Red-Haired Pirates' navigator, Bendick Snake, put away his Log Pose, looking utterly bewildered.

"The magnetic field of the entire island has also become very unstable..."

"Perhaps Akainu fought on this island? There are so many magma rocks on this island now."

Ben Beckman gave a brief reply, then picked up the World Economic Daily he had just bought and slowly walked toward his captain.

"Shanks...you should be more interested in this news in the newspaper."

Shanks, the red-haired man holding a bottle of liquor and gazing at the sea, turned around and looked at the newspaper in Ben Beckman's hand.

"The emperor has fallen...and Big Mom has lost too?"

Shanks subconsciously used the word "also".

The crushing defeat on Sabaody Archipelago, the sniper's death...

This incident continues to affect the Red-Haired Pirates and Shanks to this day.

But I don't know why.

Upon seeing the negative news about the Big Mom Pirates, Shanks' originally heavy mood suddenly improved considerably.

The Red-Haired Pirates are just missing a sniper.

But the Big Mom Pirates were completely wiped out!

"The Seven Warlords of the Sea... The new Pirate Emperor..."

Shanks' eyes were fixed on the face of the handsome young man in the newspaper, a man who looked like he was in a poster.

At that moment, Shanks didn't see the "White Dragon"; he only saw a face that looked exactly like the "Red Dragon Emperor."

Shanks will never forget that face.

"Beckman! Are we ready to set sail now?"

"...It should be possible."

Ben Beckman nodded.

After entering the New World, the Red-Haired Pirates were the first to arrive at Rischiled Island, intending to replenish their supplies, such as fresh water and fine wine.

However, judging from the current situation on Rischirede Island...

The island is now abandoned.

It will take at least three to five years.

The island of Rischiled can never return to its former prosperity.

Replenish supplies?

Let's wait until the island recovers first!

Ben Beckman originally intended to suggest going to Mystria first.

That island was also one of the three initial islands of the New World.

Now, Rischirid Isle is nearly destroyed, and Raiden Isle is a forbidden zone for mortals.

Only Mystria Island still offers a sliver of hope for replenishing supplies.

But Shanks didn't give his first mate a chance to offer advice.

"Set sail! To all the lands! I want to see the White Dragon!"
