Great Voyage: Cartoonist of the Straw Hat Pirates

"Heroic Spirit Hercules..."

Looking at the fierce man on the cover, Whitebeard was very satisfied with the protagonist of this comic.

After all, he also advocates strength.

"A child born from a god and a human..."

Turning to the first page, Whitebeard saw Hercules' life story and became interested.

He continued to read the comics~~~

Seeing Hercules' growth process, Whitebeard was filled with anger!!

"This goddess woman named Hera is such a jerk!"

"So what if a child is born between a god and a human? Should they be discriminated against?"

"A perfectly good child, because of her disgust and torture, was transformed into a violent and savage person."

"Damn it! I really want to crush this Hera with my own hands!!"

As a father who attaches great importance to family and kinship, Whitebeard hates this kind of thing the most.

For him, the more he read this comic, the more annoyed he became!!

When he saw Hercules being driven mad by Hera and accidentally killing his wife and children, Whitebeard was furious!!!

"damn thing!!!"

"This Hera is worse than pigs and dogs!!"

Whitebeard now wishes he could just rush into the comics and crush Hera to death!!!

Although Hercules was not Hera's biological son, he was nominally her child.

I didn't expect this woman to be so cruel...

Forced a good young man to become a demon who killed his wife and children~~~

Whitebeard continued to flip through the comics, becoming more and more addicted.

Next, Hercules became the king's slave. The king, jealous of Hercules, proposed twelve trials to Hercules in order for him to atone for his sins.

"God? Is someone like this worthy of being called a god?"

Whitebeard was completely furious!!

hum~~~

Suddenly, a cool breeze blew over.

Whitebeard had a cold war~~

"Um!?"

He looked around in a daze, and suddenly realized that the surrounding environment had changed.

This is a flat hillside with overgrown weeds!

There is a dense forest in front of the hillside!

At this time, a muscular man was walking towards the dense forest.

However, when Whitebeard saw this person, he was shocked! !

"Nani!!?"

Isn't this muscular man in front of me the protagonist of the comics, Hercules? ? ?

"I was overworked, so I fell asleep and was dreaming, right~~?"

Patting his forehead, Whitebeard smiled self-deprecatingly.

But when his palm touched his head, he was shocked to find...

This touch~~~!

He pinched himself again.

"No! This isn't a dream!!"

Whitebeard immediately squatted down, plucked a handful of grass from the ground, and chewed it in his mouth.

That's right! ! !

this is true!

He looked at the muscular man in front of him walking towards the dense forest.

There was no doubt about it, this was Hercules.

Moreover, because he had just read this part in the comics, Whitebeard knew that Hercules was heading to the jungle to look for the giant lion Nemea, who was half human and half demon.

That was the first of his twelve trials.

"How did I end up in the comic book world...?"

After thinking it through, Whitebeard left and realized that things were not simple.

"Right! Ace's instructions to me...!!!"

Suddenly thinking of what Ace had said to him before, Whitebeard's face showed a look of sudden enlightenment: "It seems that this is why Ace attaches great importance to this kind of comics!"

But what puzzled Whitebeard was why Ace knew that this comic was special before he even read it?

Has he read similar comics?

After thinking about it, Whitebeard decided to ask Ace later.

As for now...

Whitebeard suddenly had an idea!

Since Hercules has to face twelve trials, why can't I help him?

if you can......

You must say those words to this poor child who has lacked the love of his parents since childhood!

"Who are you......?"

Just as Whitebeard was thinking, the voice of Hercules came from the front.

Hey~?

Whitebeard looked at Hercules and grinned: "Gulalaala!!! I'm a traveler passing by, you can call me Whitebeard."

"Whitebeard..."

Hercules looked at the man in front of him, who was almost two or three times his height, and his eyes fell on his white beard. "It is indeed a white beard..."

Whitebeard asked knowingly, "Little guy, what are you doing here?"

"Little guy...??"

Hercules was a little surprised when he heard someone call him that for the first time.

However, considering Whitebeard's height and build, Hercules felt that it was not a big problem for him to call him that...

"I will undertake a trial to slay the great lion Nemea."

Hercules did not hide the purpose of his trip.

After all, he is kind by nature and an honest man.

"Nemias the Lion?"

Hearing this, Whitebeard deliberately showed a surprised expression, "That's a half-human, half-demon monster! It's very powerful! Although you look very strong, you may not be a match for Nemea."

"It doesn't matter. No matter what, I must complete this trial!!"

Hercules spread his hands to indicate that he didn't care.

Then, he kindly reminded them, "If you came here by accident, you'd better leave as soon as possible. If our battle affects you, you'll be in trouble."

"Little one, you are very kind-hearted! But I, too, believe in fate. Since we met here, it was fate. Because of your kind reminder just now, I have decided to help you deal with the giant lion Nemea."

Seeing the tragic fate of Hercules in the comics, Whitebeard suddenly felt a surge of fatherly love~~~

Looking at the muscular man in front of him, Whitebeard looked like he was looking at his own son...

In the Whitebeard Pirates, almost every one of Whitebeard's children had a not-so-good childhood.

And such a background can arouse Whitebeard's desire to protect him.

The same is true for Hercules in front of me~~~

"No need, uncle! I'm different from you. Although I'm much smaller than you, I actually possess the power of a god. If I can't deal with that giant lion, then there's no way you can either. Following him will only lead to your own death."

Hercules shook his head.

Although he didn't say much, he felt warm in his heart about Whitebeard's desire to help him.

To know......

While he was growing up, he almost never received any positive love and care!!!

At this time, a stranger has to help him just because of fate.

For Hercules, this was undoubtedly like suddenly seeing a candlelight in the middle of the night!!!

Maybe the candle flame is not strong enough to warm him, but it can let him see a glimmer of light before he is about to fall into endless darkness! !

Oh~~~

It turns out there is fire in this world...

"Little guy, don't underestimate me! Although I am a human, my strength is not bad!!!"

As he said that, Whitebeard punched to the right!

boom! ! !

Click, click, click...! ! ! !

The atmosphere instantly cracked, spreading out in all directions like a spider web...

The power of gods is superior to that of humans!!

But isn’t the power of devil fruits the same? ? ?

Whitebeard's slight display of skill immediately made Hercules open his mouth in surprise: "That's also the power of God, right??"

"Gulalaala!!! Little one, don't be fooled by the word 'god'!!! The earliest gods were actually no different from humans. When their strength opened up an insurmountable gap with that of ordinary humans, they proclaimed themselves gods!"

Whitebeard has no reverence for the gods in this comic; he only regards them as ordinary humans.

"I may be human, but when my strength is so great that I am not afraid of gods, you think I am a god..."

"So... whether it's gods or humans! It's all the same. They all speak with strength."

Listening to Whitebeard's words, Hercules was thoughtful.

There was a constant flash of shock and enlightenment in his eyes.

Whitebeard continued, "Do you know what Old Hu hates the most...?"

"What is it?"

Hercules asked doubtfully.

"What I hate most is those who possess supreme power yet choose to interfere in other people's affairs!!"

Whitebeard spoke coldly, a look of disgust on his face, "Especially those guys who call themselves gods! They even interfere with other people's marriages!"

"Did you know? In this world, love between gods and humans also occurs, but in the eyes of some gods, such beautiful and romantic things have become taboos!!! Isn't this ridiculous!!!"

When Whitebeard said this, Hercules' entire body trembled violently!!!

Because Hercules himself is the crystallization of gods and humans!!!

So what Whitebeard said just now directly touched his heart!!

yes......!!

Why is this beautiful and romantic thing not allowed?

Just because gods possess supreme power, can they arbitrarily control the life and death of humans?
