Chapter 325: Long time no see, Vice Captain
He raised the wine jug that was as big as a hill, poured the clear and sweet wine into the bowl, and Edward Newgate drank it guzzlingly. Only when the wine in the bowl was gone did he look at the golden lion in front of him.
"Now that things have come to this, after you cut off your own legs, you escaped from Impel Down. Where else are you going?"
"Hahahaha! As long as I'm here, the navy fleet will always exist. One day, this world will belong to me, the Golden Lion..."
After saying that, the Golden Lion smiled happily. After escaping from Push City unexpectedly, he didn't expect to have such a gain. Is this what they call blessing and misfortune?
"It seems that you haven't given up yet. It's boring to fight with each other."
Hearing Whitebeard's comment, the Golden Lion sneered. No matter what Newgate said, it couldn't change his nature of collecting treasures.
"It seems that you have found a group of qualified subordinates. According to what you said, they should be the so-called 'family', hahahahaha..."
"If one day, your family betrays you, you will understand that the most important thing in the world is not family affection, but strength!"
Whitebeard snorted coldly, turned his head and looked anxiously at himself in the distance, with a hint of contempt in his tone.
"Only those who are obsessed with power would say such heresy. My family will never betray me."
"Since you are so determined, let's wait until twenty years later, when we meet again, and then we will compete to see who is the master of this sea!"
Having said that, the Golden Lion was about to turn around and float away, to carry out the plan that had been silently brewing in his mind since he first discovered the deserted island.
Suddenly, as if remembering something, the Golden Lion turned around with a serious look on his face.
"By the way, before I entered Impel Down, I ran into that bastard Uchiha Kagetsu, who took a tube of blood from me and didn't even try to save me!"
"Half of the blame for this pair of broken legs should be on him. Remember to tell him when you see him. Next time we meet, I will chop off one of his legs!"
As the arrogant words sounded, Whitebeard shook his head repeatedly and did not tell Golden Lion about Uchiha Huayue's recent situation.
According to the current situation, the moment the two met, what the Golden Lion might lose was not a pair of legs, but the life that he had finally saved.
But what does this have to do with him? It would be better for the two difficult guys to die together, so that they don't have to show up from time to time to get in the way.
"Goodbye, Newgate. See you in twenty years..."
The golden lion floated away into the distance. Although there were no island clouds on the island not far away, it still floated steadily in the sky.
After the other party, along with the island, disappeared, the pirate ship not far away hurried over, with the blue phoenix in the lead spreading its wings and flying, then quickly landed in front of Whitebeard.
"Dad, that guy Golden Lion..."
"It's okay. He just needs to lie dormant somewhere for a dozen or twenty years. He just told me in advance. Even without this guy, this boiling sea won't calm down for a few days. Gurgle Gurgle..."
The strong liquor poured down his throat, and Whitebeard raised his head with a hint of confusion in his eyes.
“Whenever an old friend leaves, it always reminds me that time is disappearing little by little, and I am getting older little by little.”
"Dad, what nonsense are you talking about? You are still young and the strongest man in the world. How can you be old?"
Marco smiled peacefully. Not far away from the Moby Dick, there was another burst of noisy laughter, which temporarily dispelled Whitebeard's worries.
"Gulala, everyone will grow old, no matter if they are the strongest or not. There is no such thing as someone who does not age."
The Moby Dick came from the distant coast, calling out all the way.
Seeing this, Whitebeard raised his naginata and jumped onto the deck, pointing into the distance.
"Little ones, let's set sail!"
"Oh! Dad!"
"Please don't jump around randomly, the boat might capsize!"
"Which ship shall we rob next time? Dad..."
At this moment, Whitebeard smiled from the bottom of his heart. This was the family he had been looking for, the family love he loved so much.
"Let's just go with the World Government. I haven't seen Garp and Sengoku in a long time. I'd like to take this opportunity to tell them that I'm not old yet. Gullalla!"
The Moby Dick set sail, and the iconic crescent-shaped beard on the raised sail made all the pirate ships they encountered along the way flee in fear.
This is the Whitebeard Pirates, led by the world's strongest man, Edward Newgate, a pirate group that roams the New World and occupies the largest territory.
On the other hand, just as Whitebeard was setting sail, a pirate ship with a flag of a crossed skull and two swords quietly landed on the shore of the Sabaody Archipelago.
Among the many pirates, a red-haired man wearing a straw hat and a black cloak raised his head and walked into the coating shop in front of him.
"It is here, mate."
Rayleigh, who had his back to the person who came, heard these strange yet familiar words and subconsciously looked back. The familiar straw hat and bright red hair made Rayleigh recognize the person.
"It looks like you've started your own journey as well, Shanks."
His lazy face makes him look nonchalant at first glance, but the surprise in his eyes cannot be concealed.
"Ah, I have also found a group of reliable companions, and we are ready to set sail to the place where the captain once arrived. What about you? Have you been here since you retired?"
Sitting casually aside, ignoring the curious look of the proprietress next to him, he took off the straw hat on his head, and couldn't help but reveal a trace of memories.
"Leave the fun to the young. If you know what's on the island too early, you'll lose the motivation to move forward."
"But there has been quite a lot of news during this period. Old friends have appeared one after another, including you, Golden Lion, Whitebeard, and even Kaido and Uchiha Kagetsu..."
As he got excited, Rayleigh subconsciously shook the wine gourd, and when he found it was empty, he put it down helplessly.
"The Four Emperors, I don't know if there will be a chance for a fight, but if we want to go to Raftel, a collision is inevitable."
In response, Rayleigh smiled but said nothing. This kid is still the same as before, careless but meticulous. Who knows, he might turn this ocean upside down in the future.
"Speaking of the Four Emperors, you must pay close attention to any of them, except for the mysterious Uchiha Kagetsu, who is nowhere to be seen all day long. You must also pay close attention to him, and also..."
Following Rayleigh's whispers, Shanks, who was originally casual, gradually became serious.
"If that day ever comes, I will act without hesitation to take hope from the World Government and hand it over to the right person."
"Then I'll leave the coating of our ship to you. Guys, let's have a party!"
Shanks shouted, and the Red Hair Pirates crew members in the store cheered immediately.
