Sailing: I Open Treasure Chests in the Pirate World

Edward Weebull plopped down on the ground, and as he put Buckingham Stussy down, he lay down on the ground as well.

Mihawk looked at the bizarre performance of human behavior not far away and felt a bit uneasy.

Although he longed to spar with Edward Weevil, who possessed the power of a young white-bearded man.

But after witnessing what the other party did with my own eyes...

A thought suddenly occurred to Mihawk.

Don't play with idiots!

"Why is Whitebeard's son like this...?"

"Who knows? You can go and interrogate his mother."

Ian gave a casual reply and then walked directly toward Edward Weevil.

Just as Edward Weevil was about to listen to his mother and go to bed early, he heard Ian's approaching footsteps. Like a restless child, he immediately sat up straight.

Ian raised his right hand and unleashed his Clay-Clay Fruit power. His right fist instantly extended and lengthened like rubber, striking Edward Weevil in the stomach.

Snapped!

Edward Weebull watched as the clay fist was sent flying by his solid muscles, and couldn't help but scratch the spot that had been hit.

"what are you doing?"

"Edward Weevil?"

Ian looked at Edward Weevil, then gestured to the person beside him.

"Look who's that?"

The clay fist that was just thrown away has now undergone a huge change in shape.

The "imitation" power of the Nine-Tailed Fox Fruit quietly activated at this moment.

A brand new, slimmer version of Edward Weevil stood silently on the earth, and even the naginata in his hand looked very much like the Murakumogiri, one of the twelve Supreme Grade Swords.

Edward Weebull's small eyes widened as he stared incredulously at the "white-bearded" man, then suddenly roared.

"father!"

"……cough!"

Ian coughed lightly.

Even though he had already underestimated Edward Weebull's intelligence enough.

But I didn't expect it to be overestimated...

Ian looked at the "Clay Weevil" on the other side and manipulated it to start talking.

“Weebull! What did Buckingham Stussy tell you?”

"father!"

Webble got up from the ground and stood respectfully in place.

"My mother told me a lot... She said I am your son..."

"No!"

"Clay Weevil said in a deep voice."

"I'm not your father!"

Chapter 176 What price are you willing to pay for me to remove this ability?

"No! Daddy!"

Edward Weebull clutched the hem of his shirt tightly with both hands, his face showing an incredulous and aggrieved expression, looking like a large dog suddenly abandoned by its owner.

"Why? Daddy! Don't you want me anymore?"

Over the past few decades.

Buckingham Stussy had been indoctrinating Edward Weebull.

Even when Edward Weebuhr was sleeping, Buckingham Stussy would whisper in his ear—

"You are Whitebeard's son, and you are the only one who can inherit Whitebeard's wealth."

Decades have passed.

Edward Weebuhr believed Buckingham Stussy's words without a doubt.

we can even say.

Edward Weevil's purpose in life was to become Whitebeard's son and then inherit his father's fortune...

but now.

Edward Weebull felt as if the sky was about to fall.

Meeting my father for the first time, and having a happy and fulfilling family—two joyful things happening at the same time—should have been a dreamlike, magical moment…

Why is this happening?

"Dad, look!"

Edward Weebull stroked his white beard as if showing off.

“Our beards are exactly the same! I have a white beard too! I am your son!”

Until this very moment.

Edward Weebull couldn't figure out the true identity of the "Clay Weebull" opposite him.

"White Dragon, what are you doing?"

Mihawk found Ian's actions utterly incomprehensible.

"Are you... playing a fool?"

Mihawk had figured it out completely.

Edward Weevil, the so-called "Whitebeard III," only inherited Whitebeard's physique and strength in his youth, but not his wisdom.

Edward Weevil possesses high physical strength, but his intelligence can only be described as...

Roughly equivalent to mentally challenged.

Mihawk was greatly disappointed with "Whitebeard III" and had completely given up the idea of ​​challenging him.

His anticipation for the yet-to-be-met "Whitebeard II" plummeted due to Edward Weevil's lackluster performance.

Whitebeard III was a fool...

What will Whitebeard Jr. be?

but.

　19 Regardless of Mihawk's views on "White II" and "White III".

Regardless of Edward Weebull's actual level of intelligence.

None of this is a reason for the White Dragon to play with this fool!

“I’m not playing with him.”

Ian didn't look at Mihawk and answered casually.

"To be precise, I want to take his 'ownership' back from his 'mother'."

Edward Weebuhr was indeed not very intelligent.

Ian knew this too.

He just didn't know that this guy's intelligence level was so low...

To be fair.

There are indeed many villains, bad guys, trash, and scum on the sea.

However, there are differences between different kinds of dregs.

Some scum are born evil, so bad that they are beyond redemption.

Some scum are manipulated into becoming "villains".

Edward Weebull stood out even among a group of rubbish.

In Ian's view

Edward Weevil was indeed a pirate who committed unforgivable crimes.

but.

He's an idiot.

A fool who lacks even the most basic ability to make his own decisions.

Edward Weebull's life was constantly being manipulated by Buckingham Stussy.

In other words.

Edward Weebull was merely a "tool".

Such a silly tool.

Ian had no intention of killing the other party.

In his eyes, Buckingham Stussy was far more despicable than Edward Weebull!

But Edward Weebuhr was a "good boy" who believed Buckingham Stussy's words.

A fool, a fool's tool, a fool's tool mama's boy...

Ian did not intend to let Edward Weebull remain with Buckingham Stussy.

That would only cause harm to the ocean.

Ian intends to take over the "custody" of Edward Weebull.

Mihawk wasn't too impressed with White Dragon's explanation; he understood Ian's meaning through a more "pirate-like" way of thinking.

"You've taken a liking to Edward Weevil's power, so you want to recruit him as your subordinate."

"That's one way to understand it!"

Ian readily admitted it.

"Number Two, do you want to come here?"

"You've tried it, my dragon, it's big and convenient."

"……boring."

Mihawk's lips twitched violently a few times, and he stopped interfering with the white dragon's actions.

The White Dragon's method of recruiting Edward Weevil was somewhat despicable.

However, compared to that, Mihawk still loathed Buckingham Stussy, who had previously abandoned Edward Weevil without hesitation!

not to mention.

Wasn't Haku always such a despicable guy?

Ian ended his conversation with Mihawk and turned his attention back to Edward Weevil.

He doesn't like repeating the same sentence twice.

But Edward Weebull's mind really doesn't work well...

“I am not your father, Weevil.”

Clay Weevil repeated the sentence again.

"Your power, your bloodline, your genes, all come from the real Edward Newgate with the white beard!"

"Whitebeard is your father!"

"White beard?"

Edward Weebull stopped stroking his crescent-shaped beard and stared blankly at the clay Weebull with his big eyes.
