Chapter 267 Undercurrents, Invitation from the New Navy

New World, on the Moby Dick.

"You're back, Ace."

Whitebeard sat in his seat and looked at the slightly decadent Ace.

As a member of the second team, Blackbeard Teach violated the iron rules of the ship and hurt his family. As the captain, Ace always felt that it was his fault and wanted to capture Teach.

In fact, although he was very angry about Teach's behavior, Whitebeard had no intention of making a big move.

No, he was old!

He could feel that his life was passing away.

Birth, aging, illness and death are human nature, and Whitebeard has seen through this.

He just couldn't let go of his sons.

Fortunately, at the last moment of his life, he met Ace.

His innate talent can support his growth and lead the brothers and sisters of the Whitebeard Pirates to continue.

Therefore, when Ace proposed to track Teach, Whitebeard did not stop him.

This is an opportunity for Ace to grow and experience.

"Yes, I'm back, but I couldn't catch Teach."

Ace's eyes were full of entanglement.

"Don't worry too much about this, Ace, it's not your fault that you couldn't catch Teach."

"Yes, Ace, we saw the news. You fought with Kizaru and you didn't lose at all!"

"Yes, good job!"

"As expected of you, Captain Ace!"

"..."

On the Moby Dick, everyone in the Whitebeard Pirates praised Ace.

"Everyone..."

Hearing the praise from his family, Ace's expression became more complicated.

"I'm sorry, Dad."

Ace made a decision in his heart, knelt down in front of Whitebeard, and knocked his head heavily on the deck.

"I want to quit the Whitebeard Pirates!"

Ace's broken voice resounded on the Moby Dick, and the originally lively deck suddenly became quiet, leaving only the sound of the sea breeze blowing in everyone's ears.

Silence, the huge Moby Dick continued to be silent.

Gulp, gulp, gulp!

Whitebeard picked up a wine jar beside him and drank the strong liquor in big gulps. Besides the sea breeze, the only sound in everyone's ears was the sound of Whitebeard swallowing.

Until the last drop of wine fell into Whitebeard's mouth, he looked at Ace, who kept his head pressed tightly to the ground and knelt down.

Bang!

The wine jar was smashed on the deck and shattered, and Whitebeard's voice finally sounded.

"Why, do you think I can't shelter my sons from the wind and rain anymore!"

"No, Dad!"

Ace raised his head suddenly, his face full of tears.

"The Straw Hat Luffy who was captured by Teach and presented to the World Government is my younger brother!"

"That's my only younger brother. No matter what, I can't watch him being executed by the World Government."

"I will definitely save Luffy, even if it costs my own life!"

Ace looked at the burly Whitebeard in front of him, the man who gave him fatherly love.

"But, that's my brother, I can't let my father and other partners get involved. So, let me quit the Whitebeard Pirates!"

"Idiot!!"

Whitebeard suddenly shouted, interrupting Ace's words.

But what followed was not a rebuke or scolding, but a warm embrace.

"What are you talking about? You are my son."

"How could I let my son face this alone? I am Whitebeard!"

"Oh!!"

"What is the World Government!"

"Save Ace's brother!"

"We are the Whitebeard Pirates!!"

The Moby Dick was suddenly filled with all kinds of voices. They are the Whitebeard Pirates, the Whitebeard Pirates who will not easily give in even in the face of the World Government!

···

New World, Wano Country, Onigashima.

Kaido is drinking happily.

After cooperating with Rod, he first obtained a lot of animal-type devil fruits through hunting, and soon after, he obtained artificial devil fruits. Relying on the transaction with Rod, he already had a legion of nearly 3,000 animal-type ability users under his command.

If Rod hadn't kept persuading him to wait, he would have started a war long ago.

A portal suddenly opened, and a figure appeared in the flash of lightning.

"Huh?"

Kaido raised his eyes and looked at Neru who appeared on his side.

"It's not the handover time this month yet."

"It's not about the handover of devil fruits."

Neru shook his head slightly, and the released observation Haki detected a lot of powerful auras.

Although Kaido has been suppressing and not making trouble in the past year because of his boss Rod, the power under his command is expanding at an exaggerated speed.

"What is that?"

Kaido looked at Neru with drunken eyes.

After Rod could continuously supply him with devil fruits, Kaido originally wanted to grab them directly.

He is a pirate. Why should he give something that he can grab and control to others!

Then, he was severely taught a lesson by Rod.

Although he can see his power growing little by little every day, he has never had the opportunity to start his favorite war. Kaido feels that he can no longer hold back.

"What you are most interested in."

Neru looked at Kaido.

"How about starting a war that engulfs the entire world?"

Bang!

The wine jar in Kaido's hand was suddenly crushed, the smell of alcohol on his face instantly dissipated, and a strong light bloomed in his eyes.

"The wait is finally here!"

The strong overlord-colored domineering energy was released, making many pirates on Onigashima stiffen slightly, and then bursts of cheers came from their mouths.

This is the arrogance of their admiral!

"No, no, no, no, I'm going to involve the whole world in war!!"

Kaido roared wildly, feeling that the anger he had suppressed for many years burst out.

···

The new world is where the red-haired pirates are stationed.

"Boss?"

The officers looked at Shanks.

They had read in the newspapers that Luffy had been captured and was about to be publicly executed by the World Government.

The other party is the junior they are optimistic about, and he is also the person the captain has high hopes for and entrusts his dreams to.

How could such a person who was destined to bring huge changes to the world be easily executed by the navy?

However, they are a team, and the final action requires the captain to issue orders.

"Luffy is our friend."

Shanks stood up, walked to the bow, and looked at the calm sea.

The weather in the new world is unpredictable. It may be calm at this moment, but it may be stormy at the next moment. Although the sea surface in front of you looks calm, underneath this calmness, huge waves are brewing that can swallow everything.

"As a pirate, how can you watch your friends suffer and remain indifferent!"

Shanks turned around and glanced at his friends, a smile on his face.

"Let's go get our friends!"

"Oh!"

"I knew it!"

"Luffy, that brat, didn't expect to meet us under such circumstances!"

The companions on the pirate ship were laughing and making noises, as if they didn't realize that they were about to face off against the behemoth of the World Government.

"don’t worry!"

Shanks patted Jesus Bu's shoulder. This old friend was cleaning his spear and remained silent.

"Usopp will be fine."

"That's not what I'm worried about."

Jesus turned his head away, not wanting to reveal his feelings.

"Whether it's Luffy or his friends, we will save them one by one!"

Shanks patted Jesus Bu on the shoulder, turned around and turned his sights to the sea again.

At the end of the line of sight, winds and clouds were surging. Visible to the naked eye, the sea surface seemed to be turned over completely, rushing toward them.

"The storm is coming!"

···

The Grand Line, the base of the Revolutionary Army, Bardigo.

Dorag stood in the wind, holding a newspaper tightly in his hand.

In the past few days, he often stood in the wind with this newspaper, wondering what he was thinking about.

"Let's go save him."

A gentle voice sounded beside Dorag.

A burly figure stood beside Dorag, looking at him with slightly worried eyes.

"This is a world government trap."

Dorag put the newspaper away and answered in a calm voice as much as possible.

He is Luffy's father and the leader of the Revolutionary Army.

Although Luffy is a pirate, he does not have a great reputation. At best, he is just a pirate supernova. There are several pirate supernovas like this every year, and they are not worthy of the world government's public execution of him.

There is only one reason why the world government can go to war in such a big way.

As Luffy's father, he is also the leader of the Revolutionary Army!

"Whether it's a trap or not, Luffy and the others have indeed been caught and are in danger."

"If you really don't take action and let Luffy be executed by the World Government, I'm afraid you, Drago, will be surrounded by pain and regret for the rest of your life."

Big Bear looked at his friend beside him, and for some reason, Ginny's face suddenly appeared in front of him.

They are revolutionary soldiers, people determined to save this terrible world and bring a better life to more people.

However, in order to save others, many times we put ourselves in danger.

It wasn't until he lost Ginny forever, and until he grew up with Bonnie, that Big Bear felt more and more their importance in his life.

He has experienced pain himself, and he does not want his friends to experience the same pain as him.

Dorag stood in the cold wind, looking at the land of white earth in front of him.

"Big Bear, if something unexpected happens, the Revolutionary Army will be left to you."

After a long time, Dolag's voice suddenly sounded.

"You are a gentle person. If it were you, you would definitely put protecting the happiness of others first."

As soon as the words fell, Dorag's figure disappeared from the spot.

"As a father, I want to save my son."

···

Naval Headquarters, Marinevando.

"Akainu, Aokiji, and Kizaru, all three of them are back."

Warring States sorted out the navy's arrangements.

"Kizaru is still in Shampoo Land, but with his speed, he can come back at any time."

Lieutenant General He replied.

"Where are the lieutenants?"

"Except for the base commanders of several important branches in the Grand Line, the rest have all issued summons notices. In the past two days, the rescuers have returned to Marineland one after another."

"Where are the soldiers?"

"More than half of the elite navy officers summoned from various branches have arrived, and the rest will arrive in the next three days."

"Where are the Seven Warlords?"

"Someone has been arranged to go. This is an unprecedented mandatory summons, and no one should fail to respond."

"Yeah!"

Sengoku rubbed his head.

Blackbeard Teach really gave him a big problem.

Luffy, the Straw Hat Boy, is the grandson of Garp and the son of the Revolutionary Army Dragon. Such a guy chose to go to sea and become a pirate, and also became a pirate supernova, and was captured and sent to the navy.

The composition of this kid is too complicated, which made Sengoku hesitate for a long time.

However, Sengoku finally made a decision.

This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, an opportunity to suppress the pirates and the Revolutionary Army in one fell swoop!

Because of the sudden rise of Tyrant Rod, the control of the navy in the New World has plummeted, and the power of the pirates has become even better.

Not only that, the Fist Security Company they established around the world has greatly maintained the security of the surrounding areas, which is even better than what the Navy did, and it is another heavy blow to the reputation of the Navy.

At this time, the Navy needs a big victory, a big victory that can shock the world.

During his tenure, the Navy lost its voice in the New World, and now it is time to get it back!

···

"Stinky boy, why did you choose to be a pirate!"

Garp looked at Luffy with a sad face.

This is his grandson, a grandson with outstanding talents and high hopes.

He wanted to train his grandson to be an excellent marine, but he didn't expect that the other party wanted to be a pirate.

Now, he was caught in the city of Impel Down and will be publicly executed later.

Thinking of this, Garp couldn't help but clenched his fists, wishing to smash the prison in front of him with one punch.

But he couldn't.

He is a naval hero, an old marine who has carried [justice] on his back all his life. He has his own position and his own persistence.

"Grandpa..."

In prison, Luffy looked at his grandfather. He hadn't seen him for a few months, but he seemed to have aged a lot.

"Smelly boy, eat more. I brought you meat!"

Garp placed the rich food in front of Luffy, then stood up and slowly left.

"I'll see you again tomorrow."

After leaving Impel Down, Garp took his warship back to the Navy Headquarters, but he was in no mood to go to the office. He went straight to the rest area at the back.

Marinford originally had many rest areas for the families of the navy, but in order to cope with the possible war that might happen next, most of the families were dispersed to other places. Now, the people living here are all navy soldiers from all over the world.

"Do you think this is really right, Garp!"

Just as Garp passed by a yard, a low voice suddenly came from the shadows, stopping him instantly.

"Pardon the crimes of the most heinous pirates, and even let them become Shichibukai and accompany the navy; while the pirates who have not caused any major problems are so violent that they are willing to start a huge war."

"Can the navy today still be called [justice]? Are they fighting for justice, or for something else?"

A man with purple hair walked out of the shadows and looked at Garp with fiery eyes.

"I don't approve of such a navy and such justice!"

"Garp, come with me, let's build a new navy that truly represents justice!"
