Chapter 273 Xiao Hei is about to go offline

Whitebeard carefully picked up the pure gold particle in front of him, smacked his lips as he looked at it:

"Is this pure gold?"

"Ah."

Immediately, Lex repeated to Whitebeard what he had said to Golden Lion and the other two.

After thinking for a while, Whitebeard decided to replace the captain's hat with pure gold.

Afterwards, after a series of smooth operations with the Rex Space Fruit, Whitebeard officially became a pure gold player and gained almost eternal life.

This also solves Whitebeard's biggest weakness in the original work - his age.

Generally speaking, as long as a strong person still has his spirit and will, his strength will not decrease too much with aging. Garp is an example.

Once you lose your ambition, dreams and motivation, your strength will decline dramatically. Zefa is an example of this.

Whitebeard is different. His spirit has not been corroded by the years, but his body functions cannot keep up. In particular, the recoil damage after using the Tremor-Tremor Fruit every time will cause hidden injuries to his body.

It was fine when he was young, as Whitebeard was strong and healthy. But as his golden hair faded and his body aged, this problem became very prominent.

So much so that during the later Battle of Marineford, Whitebeard was unable to perform the entire time and was unable to display the strategic power of a legendary king.

If it was the peak Whitebeard standing in Marinford, it would probably take the combined efforts of Garp and Sengoku to repel him, instead of being suppressed by the younger Sakaski.

"How's it feeling, Dad?"

"Kulala, I feel like my body has slowed down a lot. I wonder if this will affect my ability to digest the alcohol."

"Then drink less."

"That won't do! Kulalala~"

Whitebeard's heroism is different from that of the Golden Lion, and no one in the world knows this better than Lex.

The Golden Lion's heroism is more about ambition and the desire to conquer the world.

Whitebeard's heroism is more about benevolence, righteousness, and a broad-minded tolerance.

But no matter who he is, he is the elder whom Lex respects all his life and the most powerful legend in this free sea.

After leaving the alien space, Whitebeard Rex and his companion returned to the captain's room.

"By the way, does having pure gold hinder combat?"

Whitebeard was writing in the logbook when he suddenly thought of this question and blurted it out.

"It doesn't matter. There haven't been many wars in the New World in the past few years. Let Marco and his men practice with the minions. The next large-scale war will be in 1498 of the Haiyuan calendar."

There was nothing strange about Whitebeard. He was fully aware of Lex's ambitions and supported them wholeheartedly.

So it was normal for Whitebeard to think that Lex was starting a war.

"1498 years?"

"Well, Dad, you will probably still be responsible for suppressing Marinford at that time."

"Kulalala~ It's just a small matter."

"Oh, right, this year is already 1494, and it will be 1498 in a few years. Should I capture Xiao Hei first and study his body structure? It will be easier for me to eat the second fruit..."

In front of Whitebeard, Lex muttered a few words casually.

Whitebeard raised his eyebrows:

"Catch Xiao Hei? Who is Xiao Hei?"

"Tikki."

"..."

"Why arrest him? Even though this kid is dishonest, he hasn't done anything bad, right? I'll keep an eye on him."

"Ah? Dad, do you want to stop me?"

"Uh... that won't happen. It's just that Tikki is still young, only in his teens. How could he have any bad intentions?"

Lex laughed silently and didn't explain further.

"Since you don't know, I won't explain it. Let's just share our memories."

After saying that, Rex's Observation Haki of the Divine Domain was activated.

When the Observation Haki is cultivated to the divine realm, it has already escaped the secular definition of domineering and reached a state of perfection, transforming decay into magic.

Rex can now even use his Observation Haki to directly share part of his memory, provided that the other party is also a master of Observation Haki.

Whitebeard is naturally considered a master of observation Haki.

Immediately, Whitebeard had some dirty thoughts about Blackbeard's innermost thoughts. These thoughts seemed to be innate, making people believe them involuntarily -

[The Dark-Dark Fruit...I must get it...Rocks's ambition...I will inherit...the three alien fruits]

[Whitebeard... just a fool with nothing but power... I'm growing secretly with his wings...]

[Lex... The Space Fruit is too powerful... Try to get this fruit... I can also reach the top of the world]

[The Whitebeard Pirates are so stupid... they are all idiots... it's just a game of pirates playing house]

[Beware of Lex... This man is different... I need to continue hiding.]

【…】

Reading these thoughts in Blackbeard's heart, Whitebeard's expression gradually darkened, and his face twitched involuntarily:

"Asshole! How could I accept such an ungrateful, vicious villain?!~"

Whitebeard lowered his voice, but he couldn't suppress the anger in his heart.

Lex smiled slightly:

"Villain? I think Teach is an ambitious man with great potential, but he was born in the wrong era."

"What do you want to do with him?"

Whitebeard would never defend Teach again at this moment. Even with Whitebeard's broad-mindedness, he hated Teach, a real villain who picked up the bowl to eat and cursed his mother when he put the bowl down.

"His body is very special. He can eat multiple devil fruits. I want to study him."

Lex hides almost nothing from Whitebeard.

"It's up to you. Just don't let me see him again. The Whitebeard Pirates don't need guys like him."

"See, I knew that you would be angry after knowing Tiqi's dark thoughts. You can't judge a person by his appearance. Dad, don't accept sons randomly in the future."

In fact, Lex also had selfish motives when he said this.

Whitebeard was so generous in accepting sons that he often had so many stepbrothers and stepsisters.

Although it didn't have much impact and wasn't a burden, it was actually a good boost, but Lex couldn't hold back his pride.

The brothers that Lex recognized were only a few talented people like Marco, Vista, Thatch, Joz, etc., who were loyal and reliable and had followed Whitebeard to sea early on. He only met the others once at most.

Hearing Lex's admonition, Whitebeard remained silent.

Lex shook his head helplessly:

"Then I'll take Tikki away first, Dad. See you next time."

"Well, you decide for yourself. You have the same authority as I do on the Moby Dick."

This statement is not wrong. You can see it just by looking at the pirate flag. On both sides of the black flag that symbolizes Whitebeard are two long swords representing Lex.

In a sense, Rex is the largest shareholder and partner of the Whitebeard Pirates.

Of course, Shano's Gale Pirates and Roy's Phantom Sword Pirates are similar.

Lex is their partner.

Because on the pirate flags of Rex's two brothers, there are also two long swords similar to the Whitebeard pirate flag.

Rex himself is not a pirate, but he has penetrated every pirate force in this ocean and has surpassed Rocks in commanding the New World, which is a great achievement.

Because Lex is their partner!

……

After a while, Lex left Whitebeard's captain's room.

Immediately—

The Observation Haki was unleashed, locking onto Teach's aura in an instant.

Without saying a word, Lex brought Teach, who was secretly practicing in the dark, directly into the different space.

As everyone knows, Teach never sleeps, so he often practices secretly in the dead of night, and then does nothing during the day, just being an invisible person.

In the original work, the insidious Teach relied on this set of silky little combos to lurk in the Whitebeard Pirates for thirty years!

He deceived everyone in the Byakugan Pirates, including Whitebeard, and when Thatch obtained the Dark-Dark Fruit, he killed him, took the fruit, and fled for fear of being punished.

He started his career as a pirate who was a Shichibukai for half a year and became one of the Four Emperors in two years.

He is one of the few pirates that Lex admires.

He is a true pirate who will do anything to achieve his goal. He is insidious, cunning, cruel, shameless, greedy, lustful, and worships power and desires strength.

Unfortunately--

The little black guy Teach, who should have been favored by fate, was now passively entered Lex's different dimension.

Looking at the dark blue environment around him in confusion and horror, Teach had not yet realized that this was the beginning of hell.

"Hey, Tiqi, you don't sleep at night, you look so energetic~"

Lex slowly appeared in front of Teach with a kind smile.

However, Teach looked as pale as death, realizing that he seemed to have been noticed, and in a bad way.

Spicy balls!! ~
