Chapter 5 Whitebeard Pirates
Moby Dick at sunset.
Whitebeard sat upright in the captain's chair, drinking wine in big gulps. The next moment, the space to the right of Whitebeard glowed with a light blue light, and Lex's figure appeared.
Lex changed his clothes. The blue-green kimono he was wearing was replaced with a blue cape coat with the Whitebeard logo on both sides of the cape.
"Ou Ya Ji (Dad), ha, Sa Xi Bu Li Dana (Long time no see)."
Lex greeted Whitebeard as he looked at him sitting in the captain's chair.
"Kulalalala, Lex, I heard you've officially set out to sea."
Whitebeard threw a large jar of wine to Lex beside him, and took a big gulp of the wine himself.
Lex took the wine jar half his size with one hand and sat cross-legged opposite Whitebeard. "Well, it is true that we are going out to sea, but it is not so formal. Only my uncle is present."
"What did Shiki say? Did he ask you to join his Flying Pirates?" asked Whitebeard.
"My uncle didn't mention this matter. Besides, didn't I tell you that even after I go out to sea, I will never be a pirate?" Lex replied.
"Kulalala, then why did you go to sea? Do you also want to rule the world like Shiki? That shouldn't be possible for you." Whitebeard smiled and continued drinking.
"How could that be? It's better to leave such a boring task to your uncle. Besides, he won't succeed no matter how you think about it. He can't even rule the pirates of the New World." Lex took a sip of wine and continued to add.
"I wonder what Shiki would think if he knew his nephew said that about him, Kulala."
Whitebeard was very happy to hear Lex say this about Ski.
Lex thought exactly the same as he did. His ambition to rule the world was something that even Rocks hadn’t accomplished!
"Ah, so I only say this to you and Master. I don't dare tell my uncle directly and ask him to live a peaceful life as a legendary pirate. Pirates are always restless." Lex said with a little emotion.
"Are pirates always restless? Kulalala, free men of the sea are never bound." Whitebeard laughed heartily and took a big gulp of wine.
"Dad, are you really free from any constraints? What about my younger brothers?" Lex turned his head and looked at Whitebeard's other sons who were preparing for the banquet.
"Kulalala, my lovely family members are treasures, not restraints. Besides, as long as I'm here, no one dares to hurt you." White Beard said domineeringly.
Lex smiled slightly and didn't continue.
But what he was thinking at the moment was, as long as I am here, the Whitebeard Pirates will never fall! Even if he is not a member of the Whitebeard Pirates, he is the son of Whitebeard!
"Dad, have you found a new family recently? I remember I haven't been to the New World for two and a half months." Lex looked up and smiled at White Beard.
"Ah, yes. Look at the boy behind you with two rapiers on his waist, Vista. What do you think of him? Not bad, right? Kulalala." Whitebeard introduced him to Lex excitedly.
From the moment Lex got on board, he noticed this thin but strong dark young man with a ponytail, no top hat, and no signature beard that he would have 30 years later. But in a tuxedo with a slit, he already exuded the aura of a swordsman.
"Hey, Vista, nice to meet you, hello."
Lex stood up, stretched out his right hand and greeted Vista.
"Brother Lex, it's our first meeting. Please take care of me."
Bista was a little flattered. He had been on the ship for more than a month and had heard Marco and the others talk about Brother Lex no less than a hundred times.
He is the nephew of the pirate admiral Golden Lion, his master is the legendary aloof Red - the Red Earl, and he is also his father’s first son.
He is also very powerful. It is said that he can fight with his father and the outcome is evenly matched. At the age of 20, he stands at the top of the ocean. He is a real big shot.
He is also very gentle to others, and is like a real family to everyone in the Whitebeard Pirates. It is really unbelievable that such a person would take the initiative to shake hands with me. Should I say that he is worthy of being called Big Brother Rex?
"What a good swordsman, with great momentum. Let's have a sparring match sometime." Lex looked at the two rapiers on Vista's waist and smiled.
"Really? Please guide me. Thank you very much!"
But Vista knew that the big brother Lex in front of him was a real dual-sword swordsman, different from his father who held a supreme sword but was mainly a man who could break everything with one force.
"Kulalala, come over and have a party, you two brats."
Whitebeard urged. At this time, Thatch pushed a food cart over, and there were more and more delicious foods delivered from the back. Marco and several others brought over dozens of barrels of fine wine.
"Haha, I haven't tasted Sachi's cooking for a long time. I'm a little looking forward to it." Lex patted the honest Sachi's shoulder.
“Please enjoy your meal. Keeping the diners full is my biggest challenge.” Sachi said excitedly.
"Kulalala, guys, let's have a party to celebrate your big brother Lex's official departure to sea!"
Whitebeard stood up, holding the Kusukumokiri, and said loudly that he could always find a suitable reason to hold a banquet.
"Oh!"
Everyone immediately gathered together and started the banquet.
"Brother Lex, come join our Whitebeard Pirates after you go out to sea. We will definitely become stronger after you join."
The young brother Xiao Ma came up and said with an excited look on his face.
"What are you talking about, Marco? You're so stupid. Don't you think about who Brother Rex's uncle is? If you want to join, you should choose the Sky Pirates first."
The honest man Sachi suddenly appeared beside the two of them. His greatest pleasure seemed to be cooking and taunting Xiao Ma Ge.
"Asshole, why are you here again? Hurry up and go cook. No one will eat such little food." Marco looked angry.
"Hahaha, lululu~" Sachi left with his hands behind his back.
"Hahaha, I won't join my uncle's pirate group. I don't plan to be a pirate this time. But I might come to the Moby Dick often to have parties with everyone." Lex said to Marco while drinking.
"Eh? You're not going out to sea as a pirate? We have fun sailing together every day."
Marco said in surprise, for Marco at this time, this time in the Whitebeard Pirates might be a very happy time.
"So Marco, you have to train well. Only when you are strong enough can you protect this beauty." Lex said to Marco.
"Don't we have Dad and Brother Lex? Besides, I'm a ship's doctor."
Marco patted Pineapple's head.
At this time, Xiao Ma Ge did not seem to have any heart-wrenching experiences. Perhaps in the original timeline, he would have to wait until 31 years later.
In the Battle of Marineford in 1520, after Marco lost everything, Whitebeard died in front of him, Ace fell to the ground powerlessly, and the Whitebeard Pirates fell apart. At that moment, Marco hated himself for not having the strength to change everything.
"Let me tell you first. The next time I come to the Moby Dick should be three months later. If you don't have the strength to defeat the rear admiral by then, dad won't be able to protect you."
Lex smiled slightly, his eyes extremely dangerous, and said to Marco.
"Eh? But I'm only 14 years old, Brother Lex, isn't this too much to ask?"
Marco had a painful expression on his face. You know, the punishment from Brother Lex was definitely not pleasant.
"Ha, your Phoenix Fruit is a mythical beast, and your father is the great Whitebeard. Do you think you have a bad starting point, or that there is no one to guide you?"
"But even if that's the case, defeating a rear admiral is something I can't do for now. I can't even use my Armament Haki proficiently right now."
"So you have to practice harder. Dad will also grow old. Although that day is far away from you, it does not mean that the day will not come. I hope you can become stronger, the stronger the better. If you have the strength of a navy admiral, even after dad grows old, no one will dare to bully our family, right?" Lex said seriously.
"......." Marco was silent.
"I know you are still very young, and I don't want to put so much pressure on you, but you have to know that under my observation Haki, you are the only one in the entire Whitebeard Pirates who has such a talent. Even though you are just an apprentice pirate now, I hope that in the future 30 years from now, the Moby Dick can be under your wings. Do you understand?"
Lex spoke earnestly. In the distance, Whitebeard was drinking alone, but his observation Haki was paying attention to this place the whole time.
"Promise him, Marco. For the next three months, you will practice with me and I will personally teach you how to do Haki." Whitebeard's voice suddenly reached the ears of the stunned Marco.
Marco calmed himself down.
He took a deep breath, stood up, and his childish little face showed the most serious expression in his life.
"Phew~ I get it. In three months, I will definitely have the strength to defeat the Rear Admiral!"
"Okay, don't be so serious, continue drinking. But Marco, for a young kid like you, it's better to drink juice, huh, hahaha." Lex teased.
"Aren't you only six years older than me? Sachi, bring some wine. I want to compete with Brother Lex in drinking capacity," Marco shouted.
"Hey, isn't this the future Captain Marco? I still want to live under your wings. I have to get you some wine quickly, hahaha."
Honest Sachi once again scoffed mercilessly.
"Asshole!!! You eavesdropped again. I have to teach you a lesson today."
Marco chased after him, and Lex looked at the scene, shook his head and smiled, then walked towards Whitebeard.
