Sailing: The crew members are all top-notch talents!

But that doesn’t mean he’s not a top-tier powerhouse even without the Tremor-Tremor Fruit!

When Whitebeard truly reached the peak of his strength, coupled with his pure gold, he was still unstoppable!

Looking at Reno's extremely serious eyes, Whitebeard's expression was complicated. In the end, he shook his head and said, "Kid, I have my own pirate crew."

"And while you are strong, you are not strong enough to make me submit!!"

Whitebeard's refusal caused Reno's eyes to narrow instantly, a dangerous glint flashing within them.

He knew very well that Whitebeard would join the Rocks Pirates in the future.

He, who shared the same ambition, would inevitably face off against Rocks sooner or later; only one of them could survive.

"What, you want to kill me?!"

Sensing the fleeting murderous intent in Renault's eyes, Whitebeard snorted coldly.

"Kid, our match isn't over yet! If you can withstand my final attack, the Tremor-Tremor Fruit is yours!!"

Before Reno could reply, Whitebeard gathered his strength once more and leaped into the air.

High-density Armament Haki and powerful Conqueror's Haki, the two streams of energy, one black and one red, intertwined and entwined, all condensed on the Cloud Cutter in his hand.

An extremely dangerous energy fluctuation emanated from the cloud cutter.

It is like a fierce tiger that will devour anyone at any moment.

"Well done!!"

Instead of retreating, Renault advanced, flipping his hand and a giant sword appeared out of thin air in his palm, causing Whitebeard to glance at him slightly.

Reno wielded the greatsword, unleashing both his Armament Haki and Conqueror's Haki without reservation. The greatsword trembled, seemingly unable to bear the weight.

"Elbaf Spear!!!"

Renault suddenly slashed upwards.

A massive black and red energy blast, hundreds of meters long, shot through the air with a deafening roar.

boom-

"Break it for me!!!"

Whitebeard's eyes widened, his face contorted with madness, as he slammed the Cloud Cutter down hard.

boom-

After a mere second of stalemate, the two attacks erupted completely, unleashing terrifying energy that surged wildly in all directions.

Everything within a radius of several hundred meters was destroyed, and taking advantage of this opportunity, Renault's figure suddenly disappeared.

Not long after, it reappeared in the same spot.

Suddenly, a sea breeze blew by, scattering the dust that filled the sky.

At the same time, Whitebeard's figure reappeared in front of Reno.

His shirt was completely torn to shreds, his pirate hat was nowhere to be seen, his face was pale, and blood was trickling from the corner of his mouth.

Even the hand holding the cloud-cut was trembling.

"Kid, I..."

"Cough cough..."

Whitebeard uncontrollably coughed up a mouthful of blood, using his sword, Kumogiri, to prop himself up and prevent himself from collapsing.

"I lost, the Tremor-Tremor Fruit is yours!!"

After a long silence, the white-bearded man finally uttered a helpless sigh.

If he possessed the Tremor-Tremor Fruit, his strength would undoubtedly increase by leaps and bounds.

But who can blame me for being less skilled than others?

"The Reno Pirates?? I'll remember that!"

The white-bearded man wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, turned, and left.

"Not interested in joining?"

Renault shouted again.

Whitebeard waved his hand and quickly disappeared from Reno's sight.

062 A shocking start: Garp and Zeff in a sorry state!

Renault did not stop Whitebeard as he watched his retreating figure.

Just now, for a moment he did indeed want to get rid of Whitebeard to prevent future troubles.

But he quickly abandoned the idea.

Reno knew that his real enemies were neither Whitebeard nor Rocks.

Instead, it is the World Government that has stood on the sea for 800 years, the Five Elders, the mysterious Im.

Of course, an ambitious man like Rocks had to die.

His presence has blocked Renault's path.

But Whitebeard was different; his only desires were power and family.

They don't have much ambition for wealth, status, or the world.

Even if he becomes one of the Four Emperors who dominate the seas in the future, it will still be the same.

It is precisely because of the existence of this type of person that Renault is able to share some of the pressure on the World Government.

The saying "the enemy of my enemy is my friend" is exactly true!

........

...........

On the sea dozens of miles away from the Kingdom of Castor.

Ten naval warships sailed at top speed!

On the deck of each naval warship, hundreds of armed naval soldiers gripped flintlock pistols, ready for battle.

A somber atmosphere permeated the scene.

Two people stood at the bow of the naval warship at the very front.

The two were wearing cloaks with the word 'justice' printed on them.

One of them had purple hair, wore black sunglasses, and had a serious expression on his thin face.

The other person was tall, broad-chested, and muscular, with short black hair.

The two were none other than Zephyr and Garp, who had accepted the mission to destroy the Kingdom of Caster.

Garp, who is usually carefree and indifferent to everything, had a serious face at this moment.

It wasn't because the enemy we were about to face was particularly powerful.

With him and Zephyr attacking simultaneously, along with a full ten naval warships, such a force could raze not just one island, but several islands.

They killed so many innocent civilians just for the sake of one Celestial Dragon.

In Karp's opinion, that was indeed the case...

“Alright, Garp.” Zephyr, noticing something was off with Garp, said in a deep voice, “They brought this on themselves.”

"Besides, General Kong also said that if we don't do this, someone else will."

"Once we complete this mission, becoming admirals will be practically a certainty. With power and status, we can better uphold the justice in our hearts, right?"

Zephyr's comforting words gradually eased Garp's furrowed brows.

"You're right, let's go, let's finish the mission as soon as possible!!"

With the last trace of guilt vanishing, Garp's demeanor changed, and he immediately gave the order!

The pirates of the New World, upon seeing the Navy's impressive display of force from afar, all changed their expressions.

A full ten naval warships—what kind of treatment is this?

What kind of enemy could possibly warrant such a large-scale naval deployment?

Could it be Rocks? Or some other great pirate?

This lineup is even more terrifying than the Buster Call.

Because the combined strength of Garp and Zephyr is equivalent to countless naval warships.

"Good heavens, what on earth happened? The world changed as soon as I took a nap?!"

"Could it be that the Navy has found Rocks?"

"Who knows? The direction they went wasn't the place where Rocks was ever seen!"

"In all my years in the New World, apart from Rocks, I've never seen the Navy deploy such a large force!"

"Whoever it is, they're about to be in trouble."

The Celestial Dragons were killed, an investigation was launched, and finally the Navy was dispatched.

The whole process took only one day, and the matter had not yet fully escalated.

Therefore, the other 1001671055 people did not know the whole story.

The pirates who witnessed this scene whispered among themselves, most of them with expressions of schadenfreude.

They're all a bunch of people who love to watch the drama unfold; they're naturally happy to see someone suffer.

"Guys, should we follow them and check it out? I'm really curious!!"

Some pirates, itching to find out more, rubbed their hands together.

"Hehehehehe... Go ahead if you're not afraid of death. With your strength, the aftershocks of the battle are enough to kill you several times over."

No sooner had he finished speaking than a bucket of cold water was poured over him.

The pirate chuckled awkwardly, "Forget it, let's go. My life is more important."

.........

..........

Port of the Kingdom of Castor.

With Reno absent, Linlin took over the Reno Pirates as the temporary leader.

No one had any objections to this.

Putting aside the fact that Lingling was Renault's woman and was deeply loved by him.

Moreover, Lingling is the strongest among them.

In the world of One Piece, the strong are respected—an eternal truth.

When the highest alert sounded in the Kingdom of Castor, the faces of all its citizens changed drastically. They dropped everything and rushed home immediately.

They knew that when the highest alert sounded, it meant a powerful enemy was approaching and the Kingdom of Castor was about to face a life-or-death crisis.

Soon, the once bustling streets were deserted.

The entire coastal port only had six people: Lingling, Jess, Flameflower, Shadow, Halding, and Rogge.

At this point, Roger was not only a member of the Kingdom of Castor, but also a member of the Reno Pirates.

Renault tasked them with protecting Caster's coastline, and he naturally felt obligated to do so.

Since Longbread and Rupert are not combatants, they are not included.

"It's just the death of one Celestial Dragon, is it really that big of a deal?"

Looking at the empty street behind him, Jess curled his lip in confusion.
