After retiring from the Navy, I became a doting husband.

Considering the formidable reputation that Swiftblade Mass has built in the North Blue and the Grand Line, he can't afford to have it all ruined just as he arrives in the New World.

"Damn it!" Mas slapped the ship's side and said, "What bad luck! What is that crazy woman Charlotte Linlin trying to do, blocking the entrance to the New World?"

On the Moby Dick

Marco hurriedly flew towards Whitebeard. He had just received intelligence that Charlotte Linlin had actually sealed off the entrance to the New World. No wonder they hadn't encountered any newcomers.

The struggles in the New World are particularly fierce. Although the Whitebeard Pirates are one of the Five Emperors, battles are still inevitable. Where there are battles, there are sacrifices, and where there are sacrifices, there is a need to replenish the ranks with fresh blood.

"Dad, Dad, something bad has happened!"

Seeing Whitebeard sitting in his seat drinking, Marco swooped down and shouted.

"What's wrong, my child? What's making you so flustered?" the white-bearded man said calmly, taking a sip of his drink.

"Dad, I just learned from a new pirate crew that Charlotte Linlin has sealed off the entrance to the New World. Now, pirate crews coming to the New World either have to join them or get killed. If this continues, we won't get any fresh blood and we'll eventually run out of manpower..."

Marco finished everything in one go and looked helplessly at his father.

"Hmph! That crazy woman Charlotte Linlin doesn't know the rules. She actually wants to book the whole place so I can't take in my son. Let's go teach her a lesson, or she'll think the New World is her territory." Whitebeard picked up his greatsword and tapped the deck with the hilt.

Red Fosse

"Captain, something terrible has happened!"

Beckman approached Shanks with the intelligence he had just obtained.

"Oh, it's Beckman! What happened that made you so agitated?" Shanks, leaning against the ship's railing, turned around and asked.

"Captain, we just received intelligence from a passing pirate crew that Charlotte Linlin has sealed off the entrance to the New World. All new pirate crews can only join her or face destruction."

“What does it matter to Beckman? We don’t need any new people. If she wants it, just give it to her.”

Shanks then turned back to look at the sea. Sailing freely on the open ocean was his greatest love; nothing else mattered, except for one thing, of course.

"Captain, that's not the important thing. The important thing is that Whitebeard and his crew have also gone there. If the two groups start fighting, it will weaken our pirates' strength in the New World, allowing the Navy to reap the benefits," Beckman hurriedly added.

"You've already gone over there, Whitebeard. This is troublesome. Let's go over there too. I think they'll give me some face and prevent a fight from breaking out." Shanks straightened his clothes and began to give orders.

Little Harem

The islands in the New World are even fewer than those in the Grand Line. They have sailed to many islands without encountering any, nor have they encountered a single ship.

Mas Pirates

“Captain, Captain, Captain Mas, I’ve found him, I’ve found him,” a crew member said to Mas, pointing into the distance.

“You seem to know exactly what you saw,” Mas shouted at the man on the watchtower.

"Captain, that thing is no good. You're a ship, right? It doesn't look like one. You're an island, right? It moves. I don't know what to do," the pirate said, gesturing with his hands.

"Alright, if you don't know, then don't bother. I'll see for myself." Mas stepped onto the deck and rushed up to the lookout tower.

Following the direction the pirate pointed, Mas looked and saw a small boat on the sea, drifting rapidly into the distance.

"What is this?" Mas rubbed his eyes, trying to see more clearly.

“It must be a ship,” Maas thought, then ordered his men, “Chase after it and catch up with that thing.”

At Mas's command, the pirates got busy. All the sails were unfurled, and it seemed as if the heavens were on their side, as the direction they were chasing was right with the wind. As soon as the sails were unfurled, the ship's speed increased dramatically. However, the high speed was taking its toll, and the ship kept making creaking noises.

.

"Captain, Captain, a ship is chasing us!" a sailor ran over and said.

He discovered that there was another ship following behind his boat, and that the ship was getting closer and closer.

"What ship?" Martin asked.

"Captain, I saw their flag; it looked like a pirate ship, with a skull and a bunch of knives drawn next to it," Henry recalled.

“Okay, I understand.” Martin then walked outside.

The Mas Pirates finally caught up with the Little Harem. Mas stood at the bow, one foot on the gunwale, his eyes fixed on the deck of the Little Harem. He saw that what he had caught up with was not the corpse of a Sea King, but an artificial island.

Looking at the fruit trees laden with fruit on the island, the ovens already lit, the swimming pool filled with water, and the beach chairs on the shore, Mas couldn't help but wonder which spendthrift young master was out having fun.

While Mas was thinking, the Little Harem Ship had once again distanced itself from Mas's pirate ship.

Mas was puzzled as to how fast the island was moving in the sea. He couldn't find any sails on the island, so how could it move so fast in the sea without sails?

"Never mind, let's chase after them and just rob them!" Mas drew his sword and pointed it directly at the Little Harem.

"Understood, Captain!"

"We've been waiting for you to give the order, Captain!"

"The captain stole this island, can I take a shower?"

The pirates on Mas's ship were in a state of chaos; they were really getting restless.

"Oh!"

The Mas Pirates' wooden ship crashed into the Little Harem, and then many claws flew out from the pirate ship, firmly fixing the pirate ship next to the Little Harem.

"Charge! Take this floating island!"

"The pool is mine, and nobody can take it from me!"

.....................

"Bang bang bang!"

The pirates shouted and jumped onto the Little Harem Ship, running towards the pool, each one eager to get there, as if some wonderful thing awaited them.

Who are you people?!

Just then, Martin arrived on the deck with Izzy and shouted loudly at the pirates.

Mas's first reaction upon seeing Martin and Izzy was, "As expected of a rich family's young master, sailing the New World, this ship is quite nice."

"Who are you? Can't you tell? Do you know you're robbing me?" Mas raised his sword and said to Martin.

"Robbery? You have some nerve! Do you even know who I am?"

Martin shouted directly at Mas.

Startled by Martin's shout, Mas and the pirates stopped. Could this person be some important figure? A prince from some country in the New World? Thinking this, Mas glanced at Martin a few more times; he didn't seem like a prince at all.

Could he be the son of Whitebeard's new recruit, or Charlotte Linlin's newly chosen son-in-law? In the New World, only the Five Emperors could act with impunity; no other power has that kind of strength.

Mas's paranoia kicked in. He circled Martin a few times and then said, "Are you the son of Whitebeard, or Charlotte Linlin's son-in-law? Judging from your handsome appearance, you must be Charlotte Linlin's son-in-law!"

"Pah! How dare you talk like that? I find Charlotte Lingling, that fat woman, disgusting. How could I possibly be her son-in-law?" Martin shouted.

“If you’re not Charlotte Linlin’s son-in-law, then you’re Whitebeard’s son. Fine, I’ll let you off the hook for Whitebeard’s sake.” Mas said, sheathing his sword.

The thought of being hunted down by Whitebeard all over the New World made Mas absolutely unwilling to take on this job.

Seeing their captain stop, the other pirates also prepared to return to their own ships, just then a shout came.

"Captain, Captain, why are you leaving so fast? Aren't you going to wait for me?" Henry shouted as he walked out.

"Captain, why aren't you Whitebeard's son?" Mas turned around again, drew his longsword, and pointed it at Martin.

Mas knew that Whitebeard's sons were usually called captains in the pirate crew, and no one would call their captains "pirate captain".

“Of course I’m not Whitebeard’s son. How could I possibly be that old guy’s son?” Martin rolled his eyes at Mas.

"You bastard, how dare you lie to me!" Mas shouted, raising his sword to strike.

“When did I say I was Whitebeard’s son? Isn’t that all your own imagination? You really don’t know who I am?” Martin asked again, seeing Mas’s actions.

"I don't care who you are, I'm new to the world and don't know anyone!" Mas said angrily.

"When you first came to the New World, you had just come from the school of fish. You didn't look like one to me at all!"

“Look at your pirate ship. It looks like it’s been fighting for half a century. It doesn’t look like you just arrived in the New World at all,” Martin said, shaking his head as he looked at their dilapidated pirate ship.

"It's all because of that crazy woman Charlotte Linlin. She actually blocked the entrance to the New World." Mas was so angry that his hands were trembling as soon as he arrived at the Big Mom Pirates.

"Are you Charlotte Linlin leading the Big Mom Pirates to block the entrance to the New World?" Martin asked again.

“That’s right, so what?” Mas said, then remembered that he was robbing someone, so he added, “You need to understand the situation. I’m robbing someone right now, it’s robbery time, I’m not here to chat with you.”

"It seems you really don't recognize me. But you must have seen this flag when you came from the school of fish!"

Martin then said to the sailors, "Raise our flag so he can see it."

As Martin gave the order, the sailors raised the mast holding the flag, revealing a flag with eight knives drawn on it.

"This...this seems familiar...I've seen it somewhere before," Mas said, somewhat puzzled.

"I don't know them at all!"

"Are you blind?" Martin yelled at Mas.

It seems I've been traveling a lot lately; these newcomers don't even recognize me anymore.

Mas held his sword directly at Martin, looking as if he was determined to defend his dignity to the death. Although he put on a convincing act, his trembling body betrayed him; he was afraid.

"I'll fight you to the death!" Mas shouted as he charged toward Martin.

"One-Sword Style Draw Slash!"

Mas drew his Zanpakuto and slashed at Martin with lightning speed.

"Oh!"

After a loud bang, everything returned to silence, and Mas had been knocked down, his sword nowhere to be found.

"Hang this bastard up and let him hang out to dry."

"call!"

A sea breeze blew by, and Mas was awakened by the cold wind. However, he found himself hanging naked on the mast, while Martin and his gang below were eating their food and watching him bewildered in the wind. They shouted, "Who...who are you? I have people behind me."

However, no one paid any attention to him; they treated him like he was invisible.

"Alright, everyone's here. I have something to discuss with you all. Has anyone seen this person?"

Martin pointed at Mas and said, "He's the captain of a pirate crew that just arrived in the New World. I got some information from him that the Big Mom Pirates are currently blocking the entrance to the New World, and their captain, Charlotte Linlin, is there too."

"Captain, Charlotte Linlin, one of the Five Emperors, is blocking the entrance to the New World. She's waiting for us. What should we do?"

"Snapped!"

Martin stood up: "What are you afraid of if she blocks the door? She's just a crazy woman."
