Chapter 309 Goodbye Whitebeard! Father and son!
It should be said that the whereabouts of the Whitebeard Pirates are harder to find than the Red Hair Pirates.
Although both pirate groups are on a ship drifting on the sea, without a fixed place to live and traveling everywhere.
But the Red Hair Pirates are more ostentatious.
After all, Red Hair has connections with the Celestial Dragons, and the World Government generally doesn’t pay any attention to them.
But the Whitebeard Pirates are different.
Whitebeard’s policy towards the Navy is to hide as much as possible. After all, the Navy can’t kill them all, and they are fearless. If they kill one batch, there will be another batch.
In order to avoid trouble, the Whitebeard Pirates usually deliberately hide their whereabouts.
And this brought a little trouble to Ian.
But since it is said to be a little, it means there is a little, but not much.
The Whitebeard Pirates’ trick of hiding their whereabouts is really not enough in front of the current Beasts Pirates.
After controlling the entire New World in their hands for six years, the power of the Beasts Pirates is still quietly expanding towards the two seas of the West Sea and the North Sea.
Although it is true that there is no direct attack and plunder in these two seas, in fact, the expansion of territory at the commercial level has never stopped.
Since the business has covered these two seas, it is natural that the influence of the Beasts Pirates is also gradually expanding.
In short, in these seas, many people are working for the Beasts Pirates.
In addition to Stussy, who secretly provides information to Ian, and Aunt Lingling, who also has a huge influence in the North Sea, it is really not a troublesome thing to determine the location of the Whitebeard Pirates.
Even before returning to Onigashima from the West Sea, Ian had already determined the whereabouts of the Whitebeard Pirates.
Then just go there directly.
”So, the last stone is in Whitebeard’s hand?”
On the way, Aunt Lingling asked curiously.
”Of course it can only be Whitebeard.”
Red Hair interrupted.
He was not surprised at all.
Who else could it be besides Whitebeard?
In fact, he was still very interested in Wano Country.
He was a little curious about what the country looked like after Kaido took it from Oden.
Everyone on the sea knew that Wano Country was the headquarters of the Beasts Pirates and the location of the Pirate Emperor’s palace.
At the same time, the country’s industry and commerce were also extremely developed, and a large number of goods were circulated overseas every year, bringing huge wealth to the Beasts Pirates.
But in fact, outsiders know very little about the internal situation of that country.
After all, the towering mountain walls completely separate the two worlds of domestic and foreign countries.
This time, there is a chance to enter Wano Country, and Red Hair wants to take a good look at that country.
But Ian has no intention of staying for too long. After calling Teach over, he set off again without stopping and headed straight for the North Sea.
Red Hair felt very disappointed about this.
”Yeah.”
Ian nodded lightly, “The Whitebeard Pirates have protected Fishman Island for many years, and Neptune gave the stone to Senior Whitebeard as a gift.”
”On the other hand, it is also because he feels that in the turbulent pirate era, once someone finds that the stone is on Fishman Island, then Fishman Island is likely to face a catastrophe.”
Auntie Lingling curled her lips.
It’s a pity that I didn’t know that there was a road sign on Fishman Island. Otherwise, with the original geographical location of Wano Country, where would Whitebeard have anything to do with it?
“Whitebeard?”
Hawkeye raised his mouth, “He was once called the strongest man in the world. I would like to see what kind of strength he has!”
Although Whitebeard has lost the title of the strongest man in the world for many years, no one would think that he has become weaker.
Even though he has aged a lot, Whitebeard is still the same Whitebeard.
It’s just that Ian is too strong.
”There will be a chance.”
Ian said, “Senior Whitebeard is not easy to communicate with, right, Teach.”
Teach quickly agreed with a simple smile, “Dad is a very stubborn person. It is almost impossible to make him bow his head.”
”That old thing Whitebeard has been…He has been unwilling to listen to others since a long time ago.”
Auntie Lingling, who once worked with Senior Whitebeard on a ship, snorted and said, “If you want him to help your enemy fight the World Government, then just kill him.”
”Alas.”
Ian sighed, “That would be a pity.”
The Whitebeard Pirates are also a huge force. It would be a pity to waste them like this. As for the hatred between the Whitebeard Pirates and the Beasts Pirates, as long as Senior Whitebeard is willing to help deal with the World Government, Ian feels that he can forgive them generously once.
”Teach,”
Ian said to Teach earnestly, “Anyway, I will ask you to negotiate with Senior Whitebeard next.”
Of course, Teach responded solemnly, “Please leave it to me, Lord Ian! I will do my best to convince my father! ”
”Very good.”
Ian nodded with satisfaction.
But he also knew in his heart that the so-called negotiation was probably just a waste of effort.
There is only one feasible way to get Whitebeard’s help.
That is to threaten him with his children.
But the question is, are his children willing? Newgate?
Ryder listened quietly, his thoughts flowing quietly.
In the era when he was rampant on the sea, people were saying that he was a monster who could keep pace with Roger’s pirate group and Whitebeard’s pirate group alone.
However, only he himself knew that his strength was still far behind Roger and Whitebeard, the two men who really stood at the top of that era.
That gap even made him a little discouraged at that time.
After all, he was alone, while Roger and Whitebeard were surrounded by their companions.
Originally, their own strength was inferior, and compared with the two pirate groups, wouldn’t the gap be even greater? However, what will happen to the powerful Whitebeard Pirates after encountering Ian now? Ryder couldn’t help sighing in his heart.
The big pirates left over from the last era now seem to be wiped out by Ian.
Even if the disciple is better than the master, this is too much.
The bear claw bubble went forward all the way.
After two days, it finally arrived above a certain sea area.
”Is that it?”
Auntie Lingling looked down at an island that quickly appeared in their sight.
When the observation Haki swept down, it was easy to find a familiar breath on it.
”I should be in the right place. ”
Ian stretched his body, “What good luck.”
It was indeed good luck. According to the direction of the Whitebeard Pirates’ sailing, there were three islands in the nearby sea where they might land.
But I didn’t expect to bump into them directly.
It saved a lot of time.
”Mom, mom! You kept me waiting!”
Auntie Lingling grabbed a huge puff and stuffed it into her mouth while laughing.
Having learned from the lesson of the last trip to the West Sea, Auntie Lingling brought a lot of desserts when she left Onigashima this time.
Just when they finished their desserts, they found the Whitebeard Pirates.
”Bear.”
Ian said.
”Understood. ”
The bear nodded gently. The bubbles that enveloped everyone dissipated in an instant.
Without the help of the bubbles, everyone was immediately pulled by the hidden earth and fell down suddenly.
”Mom, mom! Zeus! ”
Aunt Lingling laughed out loud.
The white cloud she carried with her expanded at this moment, supporting her body and falling rapidly.
As for the others, it didn’t matter at all.
Ian, Red Hair, Hawkeye, Ryder, Teach, all of them just fell freely.
Ian was still handsome with his hands around his chest, falling vertically, as if he was standing in an elevator.
It was already clear that a large ship was quietly docked on the coast of the island below.
On the coast, piles of bonfires were burning.
A group of people gathered around the bonfire, enjoying a pleasant banquet.
Unlike the Red Hair Pirates who always like to blend in with the civilians, the Whitebeard Pirates always deliberately stay away from the crowd.
Even this island is one of their islands.
Thief hahaha! Dad! I’m back! Teach stared at the coast below with his eyes fixed, and his heart was already roaring.
Did you miss me?
Below, on the coast, the Whitebeard Pirates were holding a banquet.
In the past six years, the size of the Whitebeard Pirates has expanded a lot, and many members have been recruited in the North Sea. Now there are more than a dozen squads on the ship, with a total number of more than 5,000 people.
It’s also a good thing that the Moby Dick is big enough, otherwise it really can’t accommodate so many people.
Whitebeard sat on a wide chair, holding a huge barrel, and poured wine into his mouth.
With a little smile on his face, he quietly watched his children singing and dancing.
For him, nothing is more important than the happiness of this moment.
As long as he can be with his beloved children, he has nothing else to ask for.
But.
Swoosh! !
There were suddenly sharp sounds of breaking wind in the sky.
”What?”
Marco, who was grilling meat on the grill, looked up in surprise.
Figures were falling from the sky.
Only one was a little strange, and the rest were all familiar faces!
Marco’s face was completely stiff in an instant.
What a joke, how could these guys appear here?
”Dad!!”
Marco had already shouted in fear.
Now there is really no way not to be surprised, no way not to be afraid! ”…”
Whitebeard subconsciously crushed the barrel in his hand, and his huge body suddenly stood up.
The eyes that were slightly narrowed at this moment were completely widened, “Kids, get ready for battle!!”
To be honest, the top priority now should have been to escape.
But in this situation, how could there be any possibility of escape? Without any hesitation, the joyful banquet came to an end in an instant. All the members of the Whitebeard Pirates put down their wine and meat, picked up their weapons, and instantly entered a state of combat readiness.
Boom boom boom!
With a series of loud noises, figures fell on one side of the coast.
Under Ian’s feet was a dark land. The moment he landed, he hardened the ground nearby to prevent him from falling directly into the big pit like Teacher Kai.
Wouldn’t that be uncool at all?
Even when he landed, he didn’t bring up any dust on the ground. Ian smiled and stepped forward, “Long time no see, Senior Whitebeard, you are much more haggard now than you were back then.”
Isn’t it haggard?
Whitebeard’s golden hair, which was as brilliant as gilded gold, is now gone.
He just used a black headscarf to cover his head to hide the reality of his bald head.
”Ian!!”
In the crowd, the tall girl subconsciously drew the sword at her waist, almost gritting her teeth.
And even this time Ian was not alone!
”Mom, mom! Whitebeard! It’s been so many years since we last met! He has finally turned into a stinky old man!”
Aunt Lingling stepped on the thunder cloud Zeus, looking down at the solemn-looking Whitebeard and laughing.
”Charlotte Lingling!”
Besta’s forehead was sweating.
”It’s been a long time since I last met you, Whitebeard.”
Redhead also greeted politely.
”Redhead?”
Marco looked incomprehensible.
It’s not just Redhead who is incomprehensible, but also the man standing next to him.
“And Hawkeye?”
Marco’s face gradually turned pale.
”We haven’t seen each other for even longer, Newgate.”
Ryder also greeted with a sigh, “How long ago was the last time we met? We are both old men now.”
”Ryder?”
Whitebeard’s voice was low.
Even someone as knowledgeable as Whitebeard couldn’t help but feel a little confused at this moment.
What kind of wonderful combination is now in front of him? The Beast Pirates, the Charlotte Family, the Red Hair Pirates, the Cross Guild, Hawkeye.
In addition to their Whitebeard Pirates, all the powerful pirate groups in the world today are gathered here, at this moment!
”Ian!!”
Marco secretly clenched his fists and couldn’t help but ask loudly, “What do you mean?”
What exactly do you want to do by calling these guys over at the same time? Ian didn’t speak.
But a voice suddenly sounded behind him, “Thief hahaha! Let me explain this to you!”
A figure that most of the Whitebeard Pirates were very familiar with walked out from behind Ian.
Dark skin, fat body, familiar missing front teeth.
”Teach!!”
Vista’s voice was suppressed as if wrapped with a sword.
They had known that this bastard Teach had joined the Beasts Pirates, but they never thought that this guy could now appear in front of them behind Ian! Does this bastard have no basic sense of shame? Has he forgotten who adopted him and who raised him? ”Long time no see, Marco, Vista!”
Teach greeted the old acquaintances enthusiastically, and finally fixed his sight on the tall man who was watching him quietly.
Teach’s smile also faded a little, “Long time no see, Dad, are you okay?”
The handle of the naginata fell heavily to the ground, and the whole coast trembled slightly.
”Tell me your purpose!”
Teach did not hesitate, just took a deep breath and said sincerely, “Dad, we are here to seek cooperation!”
