Chapter 394: Reactions from all sides of the Pirate World

[Whitebeard abdicates, and the new captain is...]

The news about the Whitebeard Pirates changing their captain caused a huge sensation in the entire pirate world.

On a busy street in Singapore Island, Malaysia, South China Sea.

Many people here are discussing this change regarding the Whitebeard Pirates.

A pirate with a face full of flesh and a huge centipede-shaped scar on his left cheek that went all the way to his chest was holding a newspaper. He said in disbelief, "What's going on? The captain of the Whitebeard Pirates has been replaced!!!"

On the other side, a fat man Wen Yan, who was three meters tall, nodded and said, "That's right, Whitebeard is not dead, so how come Ace became the new captain?"

This conversation between the two is also the most concerned point for the pirates around them.

"Yes, we can see on the battlefield of Marinford that Whitebeard shows no signs of aging. Why did he give up the position of captain?"

Everyone was talking about it for a while, and seemed a little surprised that Whitebeard gave the position of captain to Ace.

At this time, a little Karami wearing a straw hat, a red vest, and a scar tattooed on his left cheek spoke:

"Haha, you don't know this, right? The Loto Pirates are the protagonists on the Marinford battlefield. And according to gossip, the Whitebeard Pirates have already formed a cooperative relationship with the Loto Pirates. Who is Ace? Ace is the disciple of Loto, the strongest man in the world. Maybe Whitebeard had to give up the captaincy to Ace."

When everyone heard what this person said, they all nodded and felt that it made some sense.

"So it was Lotte who was interfering."

"This Lotte has great ambitions. When I heard his words on the battlefield of Marinfando, I thought he was a gentleman. Now it seems that he is just a villain who only knows how to play tricks."

"It seems that this Loto is just like Rocks back then, his goal is to become the king of the world and control this matter."

"Go to bed. Whether this world belongs to Utopia or the World Government, it doesn't seem to have much impact on our relationship. Even if Lot is a righteous man and becomes the king of the world. Will my dear Maria agree to my pursuit?"

Although most people viewed the incident as a threat from Lott, a small number of people felt that they were over-interpreting the information.

"It doesn't look like that to me. Look at the photo of the Whitebeard Pirates. They are all so happy and seem to be particularly supportive of Jin Di becoming the new captain."

"Yes, the Whitebeard Pirates have always valued Ace, otherwise the Marinford War would not have happened. Now there is a wave of retirements among the navy and pirates, and Whitebeard may want to take this opportunity to retire."

The current situation of Singapore Island in Malaysia is also happening in other parts of the pirate world.

Similarly, this incident has become a topic of conversation among people after dinner.

...

New World Navy Headquarters, inside a small office.

At this time, Garp and Sengoku were eating ramen.

On the table in front of the two people, there was a stack of newspapers.

The headline of the newspaper was naturally the news that the Whitebeard Pirates had changed their captain.

Cap sipped his noodles, looked at the newspaper and laughed, "Hahaha, Newgate is retiring too?"

Sengoku puffed his cheeks and sighed: "This old guy made a wise choice to hand over the pirate group to Ace."

Neither of them expected that Whitebeard would choose to retire at this time and hand over the pirate group to Ace.

After all, on the battlefield of Marinford, the oppressive feeling that Whitebeard gave to the two of them was no less than during his peak period.

It doesn't seem like he's suffering from the disease as rumored.

Logically speaking, I shouldn't retire.

"Hahahaha, Sengoku, Newgate is not like an ordinary pirate group. They have never set the goal of becoming the Pirate King. Maybe this old guy really wants to take a rest."

Compared to Sengoku's doubts, Garp, who has the most dealings with Whitebeard, understands Whitebeard better.

I know that Whitebeard is actually a guy who likes to enjoy himself.

The fighting power that Ace demonstrated in the Battle of Marineford was no weaker than that of one of the Four Emperors.

Whitebeard took the opportunity to retire and gave the position of captain to Ace, so that he would not have to stay on the Moby Dick all the time and could occasionally go to Taoyuan for a drink.

It has to be said that Garp is one of the people who knows Whitebeard best. He even knows all of Whitebeard's little tricks thoroughly.

Zhan Guo was stunned at first, then he couldn't help laughing, "Is that so? It seems I have over-complicated it."

As a wise general, he was extremely cautious in his actions.

I always like to consider the worst case scenario first, and only after making countermeasures will I consider the good aspects.

...

New world, an uninhabited desert island.

Here is a group of people wearing navy uniforms, but behind these uniforms is not the word "justice", but "NEO".

There are three people on a rockery on a deserted island.

Sitting in the middle was an old man with purple hair, holding a stack of newspapers in his hands.

"Newgate, you actually chose to retire during this period? That's right, you already have a successor. After fighting for most of your life, you can finally spend your old age in peace."

As he said this he looked up at the gray sky.

"It seems I have to hurry up."

On his left is a beautiful girl with blue hair and wearing short shorts.

The beautiful girl then said, "Teacher Zefa, shall we set off now?"

The purple-haired old man stood up, brushed the dust off his butt, nodded and responded: "Let's go, Binz, Ain."

"Yes!"

On this deserted island was the former admiral Zephyr who had resigned from the navy and disappeared.

They had just defeated a group of pirates on this deserted island, and while they were resting, they received the news that the Whitebeard Pirates had changed their captain.

So the previously made plan was pushed forward.

...

New World Utopia Shandora.

"Whitebeard actually passed the captain's position to Ace!!!"

Lotte looked at the newspaper in his hand with a look of disbelief.

All of Whitebeard's hidden illnesses were cured by the Senzu Beans. In addition, Whitebeard has the blood of a giant, so his lifespan is not comparable to that of ordinary humans.

How come it is in such good condition? It is still equivalent to the prime of human life and can work for another few decades.

Why did he choose to retire and give way to Ace at this time?

Could it be that Whitebeard and Roger had made some kind of agreement?

Or maybe it is simply to allow a new era to emerge.

He shook his head and decided not to think about it any further.

Instead of racking your brain here, wouldn't it be better to just ask?

Da~

Da~

Da~

Just then, the sound of high heels stepping on the ground was heard.

When Lot looked up, he saw Robin twisting his body and walking slowly towards him, holding a small Den Den Mushi that produced mechanical armor in his hand.

"Lotte, there is some bad news."
