The Legendary Family of One Piece

Chapter 451 The Rise of the New Generation Represents the End of the Old Era

Two years later, the meeting between the two emperors caused tension among the Navy's top brass.

Marine Headquarters, Marineford!

The current Fleet Admiral, Sengoku, spoke solemnly into the Den Den Mushi.

"Fujitora is closely monitoring the situation; no action should be taken without authorization."

Warring States period officials gave him further instructions out of concern.

On the other side of the sea, Fujitora smiled, his eyes closed, and calmly hummed to the Den Den Mushi near his mouth.

The Den Den Mushi drooped, but Fujitora didn't care. He simply let the sea breeze blow his navy coat, remaining perfectly calm.

I wonder what I'm really thinking?

On the Moby Dick!

The two men who were laughing suddenly stopped, and the white-bearded man looked at Charlotte.

"How about it? Let's fight!"

Forehead???

Charlotte felt completely bewildered.

If a fight were to break out, with all those tubes stuck in your body, it would really make people doubt whether you could even fight.

So he decisively shook his head and refused.

"Whitebeard, you're too old. You have no chance of winning."

Charlotte spoke calmly, without any emotional fluctuation, after all, he was simply stating the facts.

"Kid, you really look down on an old man like me!"

The white-bearded man grinned as he spoke, clearly unwilling to accept his age. As a legendary figure on the high seas, he naturally possessed his own pride.

He is Edward Newgate, the Whitebeard.

Charlotte felt helpless. After all, he was one of the Four Emperors! Was it really appropriate to keep calling him a brat?

He was just an elderly person who was much older than him.

"Forget it! I'm not interested in your old bones and frail body."

Charlotte still chose to refuse.

To be honest, if Whitebeard could maintain his good physical condition, he really wouldn't mind having a good sparring match.

Unfortunately, that's not the case.

If he were to actually fight him, he was afraid that Whitebeard would pass away prematurely.

Clearly, the white-bearded man's veins bulged as he acknowledged Charlotte's good intentions; he had truly been underestimated.

Marco became slightly nervous. He wasn't afraid that the two of them would actually fight, but he was mainly worried that his father might lose control and force a fight.

That was an overdraft on his life, with endless consequences.

The next second, the white-bearded man's eyes widened in anger, and a massive surge of Conqueror's Haki erupted like a storm.

Charlotte's gaze darkened slightly, and a terrifying aura of domineering power erupted from him.

"Click click click!!!"

In an instant, the two bursts of Conqueror's Haki collided with everything like two powerful shockwaves.

As the wind howled, everyone's clothes rustled loudly, and an endless surge of Conqueror's Haki erupted.

Large numbers of the vulnerable people fainted.

Two powerful auras of Conqueror's Haki intertwined, collided, and clashed head-on, causing the heavens and earth to change color.

In an instant, the once clear sky turned into a dense blanket of dark clouds, a terrifying display of power.

Blackbeard Teach, hiding in the back, showed a hint of shock on his face.

He still has a long way to go!

Even though Whitebeard's body was weakened, the power of his Conqueror's Haki was still awe-inspiring.

The warships anchored on the distant sea also witnessed the sudden and shocking change on the island.

Such scenes appear even more stunning from a distance.

The vast majority of the navy was shocked, especially the young naval soldiers.

Are these the same two emperors who severely damaged 100,000 elite naval troops two years ago, leading to the defeat and death of the naval admiral?

Fujitora was shocked; it was truly terrifying Conqueror's Haki to the extreme.

Mr. Hibernette Charlotte has become even more frightening after all these years!

Fujitora has always held Hibernian Charlotte in high esteem, a respect that comes from the bottom of his heart.

On the Moby Dick!

The two individuals' Conqueror's Haki had a tremendous impact. Just as it reached its peak, the two streams of Conqueror's Haki shot into the sky and disappeared.

The world returned to calm, as if nothing had happened, like a dream.

But when everyone looked up at the sky above with some uncertainty, their pupils couldn't help but tremble.

The sky is like an abyss, awe-inspiring.

A huge and terrifying crack appeared out of nowhere in the thick, dark clouds.

Like a great river hanging upside down in the sky, the flowing clouds and mist resemble a waterfall flowing backwards, making people marvel.

The Four Emperors of the New World, legendary powerhouses of the high seas, are truly terrifying!

"You're getting old, white-bearded!"

Charlotte's voice rang out, carrying an indescribable, inexplicable emotion.

Whitebeard is really old. In his perception, even Conqueror's Haki is much weaker. In fact, Conqueror's Haki requires a lot of physical strength.

With age and old injuries, he no longer possesses the awe-inspiring presence he once had.

This also demonstrates the incredible strength and physique of the naval hero Garp, which is absolutely astonishing.

Ultimately, that guy is ridiculously old; he must have some special skills to maintain such strong fighting ability for so long.

This also speaks to the cruel reality of the pirate world: aging inevitably leads to a decline in strength.

Unavoidable!

If he didn't possess pure gold, which allowed him to maintain his peak condition, he probably would have remained in that state for many years to come!

This is the cruel and realistic truth.

Whitebeard also sighed slightly. Birth, aging, sickness, and death are the norm, and he had long been mentally prepared for such a situation.

A new generation replaces the old; such frustrating things happen all the time on the high seas.

The rise of the new generation signifies the end of the old era.

But when I truly felt my strength decline significantly, it was so hard to believe that those glorious days were gone forever.

Whitebeard reminisced about the past, from that somewhat distant and hazy era, his entire life had been a struggle.

However, although his life was full of hardships, he lived a pretty good life in his later years!

That seemingly naive ideal has now been realized, so there's really nothing to regret.

"Gurarara!!!"

Thinking of this, the white-bearded man let out an endless, hearty laugh, full of boundless pride and joy.

His gaze then fell upon Charlotte. The strength of this kid was indeed terrifyingly extraordinary. The little guy from back then had also reached this point today.

Time really waits for no one!

His title as the world's strongest man probably needs to be changed.

The white-bearded man shook his head. For him now, titles and honors were no longer important; his family was the foundation of everything.

"It seems you are the strongest man in the world."

Charlotte didn't quite agree with what the white-bearded man said.

This title is an acknowledgment of Whitebeard's past experiences, the experiences of a legendary pirate, earned in the presence of everyone.

But he hasn't done all of that yet.

And to be honest, he didn't care much about this title; it didn't mean much to him.

If he could defeat Whitebeard when both were young and equal, that would be acceptable to Charlotte.

However, it's no longer possible for the two sides to have a fair fight.

He is one of the world's top powerhouses, one of the kings of the seas, the former world's greatest swordsman, the demon god swordsman, a legendary pirate, and the head of the Heberfeller family...

For Charlotte, having so many titles wouldn't be a big deal, whether they were more or less.

For him, if he cannot defeat his opponent in equal condition, then the title he has obtained is not an honor.

He does not approve of this approach.

This is also his pride and realization after becoming a strong person.

"Forget it! I'm not really interested in the nickname 'Whitebeard'."

Charlotte's straightforward answer made the white-bearded man laugh out loud, and then he continued.

"Charlotte, whether you acknowledge it or not, this is an indisputable fact."

Whitebeard made it very clear that whether Charlotte liked it or not, this title would rightfully fall on his own head sooner or later.

Hearing the white-bearded man's words, Charlotte felt a headache coming on; he didn't want to continue arguing with him about this.

"Alright, I'm leaving. Oh, by the way, I'll keep your flag from Fishman Island as a souvenir."

Charlotte spoke succinctly and concisely.

"Suit yourself, brat!"

The white-bearded man spoke in an annoyed tone, knowing that this guy had a strange collecting obsession, or rather, that the whole ocean knew about it.

All sorts of strange and unusual things might be collected, which is incomprehensible to most people.

But on second thought, it's not hard to understand. For example, Charlotte Linlin loves sweets and has a lot of children, Kaido likes all beasts, and then there's him... cough cough.

It's something that can be understood anyway.

Hearing the white-bearded man's tone, Charlotte smiled and said, "I brought you fine wines from all over the world."

Clearly hearing about fine wines from around the world, the white-bearded man smiled, appearing quite pleased.

He loves fine wines from all over the world; it's a kind of happiness!

Charlotte also gave a reminder to the somewhat smug white-bearded man.

"Drink less, you old man. I don't want to attend your funeral."

After saying that, he turned and left.

"What a kind-hearted kid who's not good at expressing himself!"

The white-bearded man spoke calmly, without any anger, as Charlotte had warned him a long time ago.

He knows everything.

Watching Charlotte's departing figure, Whitebeard seemed to have made up his mind.

If he leaves, the Heberfeller family would be a good home!

At the very least, that kid won't mistreat Marco and the others.

Charlotte really wanted to kill Blackbeard Teach, but unfortunately it was impossible.

Whitebeard would not allow anyone to harm his family until the other party revealed their ruthless ambitions.

This is an old man's obsession, the kind that's completely irrational.

In fact, Charlotte herself felt somewhat conflicted, as if she were witnessing the downfall of one legend after another.

And the ever-repeating tomorrow of the world allows him to witness the emergence of a new generation of legends.

Just like Shanks, who currently enjoys the highest reputation, he has already begun to show his unique legendary status.

The birth of the fifth emperor of the new world is not far off!

The old gives way to the new, the cycle repeats itself, and time is merciless.

Charlotte quickly returned to the Heberfeller Thousand Miles of Dragons after the drinks were unloaded.

They are also preparing to return to Lati Island.

The work on Fishman Island will naturally be handled by family members, and he will personally meet with Whitebeard.

This is naturally a matter of respect between emperors; face is mutual, and it's all about human relationships!
