Pirates: The Strongest Experimental Subject at the Beginning.

a few days later.

The news that the legendary pirate Shiki the Golden Lion was defeated by the Arakura Group quickly spread throughout the world under the publicity of Big News Morgans.

The Arlong Group, which has always targeted the forces of the World Government, has now begun to attack other big pirates.

This sends a different signal.

Following the legal pirates such as the Seven Warlords of the Sea, some big pirates also began to panic, and were very worried that they would become the next target of the Arakura Group.

You know, now, even with the apparent strength of the Aragonese Dragon Pirates, the Whitebeard Pirates, the leader of the Four Emperors, cannot withstand the all-out attack of the Aragonese Dragon Pirates.

God knows how much strength the Wild Dragon Group has hidden in secret.

There is no telling how many of those powerful Seraphim there are, and as for the prisoners from Impel Down, the Wild Dragon Group has not yet pulled them out to show off their muscles.

No one knows how many pirate prisoners Tono Arairyu has actually captured.

On the giant white whale flagship in a certain sea area in the New World.

"Shiki..."

White-bearded Newgate looked at the latest newspaper with a somewhat dim look in his eyes. They, the remnants of the era, might really have to leave the stage.

Following the old fellow Feigaland Galin, another outstanding figure of his generation fell at the hands of Huanglong.

White Beard looked at the IV drip on his hand with a complicated expression. The Golden Lion had already fallen, so how long would his own sick body take?

But before Ace grows up, he must not fall down.

Even if he dies, he will create a new world for his sons.

"That Thor seems to be even stronger!"

Fire Fist Ace looked at the report on Eneel, the user of the Thunder Fruit, with a serious look in his eyes, and his attention was completely attracted by Eneel.

At this moment, Ace did not realize that he subconsciously compared himself to his opponent, Thunder God Eneel, instead of the enemy leader, Touye Arairyu.

Perhaps this is the extent of his current courage.

Anyway, with Whitebeard leading the way to deal with Tono Arairyu, he only needs to consider opponents like Thunder God Enel, Tyrant Kuma, and Pirate Empress.

Phoenix Marco, the captain and ship's doctor, is the member who understands Whitebeard's inner concerns best.

He didn't want Whitebeard to die of old age, but he had neither the ability nor the method to extend Whitebeard's life or heal his overdrawn body that was riddled with holes.

Marco once wanted to fulfill Whitebeard's wish and personally take up the banner of the Whitebeard Pirates.

But he knew that he did not have the potential to be a king and could not lead the Four Emperors Pirate Group to continue.

Therefore, he very much hopes that Ace, who possesses the qualities of a king, will grow up and take over the banner of the Whitebeard Pirates.

He was also willing to assist Ace in taking charge of the Whitebeard Pirates.

But now, this turbulent sea does not seem to give them the time.

Perhaps Ace has not yet grown up, and the Whitebeard Pirates will face the powerful threat from the World Government and the Arakuryuu Group.

Given Whitebeard's physical condition, they really might not be able to withstand the turbulent tide of this era of great hegemony.

While the Whitebeard Pirates were reading the newspaper, several crew members from the intelligence team rushed over in a hurry.

"Oh no! Dad! Those guys from Beehive Island, Wang Zhi, refused to pay this year's protection fee."

"Dad, that bastard Carmenio is also going to quit the Whitebeard Pirates."

···

Bad news echoed on the Moby Dick, and more than a dozen squad leaders frowned.

Ever since the information that Fire Fist Ace is the son of Pirate King Roger was made public, Squard, the Great Whirlpool Spider from Whitebeard's affiliated pirate group, was the first to withdraw from the Whitebeard Pirates.

Unwilling to be in the same pirate group with Ace the Fire Fist.

Because the original pirate group of Giant Whirlpool Spider Squard was wiped out by Roger's pirate group, and he was the only one who escaped.

So Squard hates Roger very much, just like Gekko Moriah hates Kaido, the Beast.

The hatred of destroying the group is irreconcilable.

In the end, Whitebeard approved Squard's request to leave the group. He knew the grudges between them could not be sorted out in a few words.

After the withdrawal of the Great Whirlpool Spider Squard, the strong rise of the Wild Dragon Group has overwhelmed the whole world.

Some affiliated pirate groups and their subordinate territories, seeing that the Whitebeard Pirates are on the decline and not as powerful as they used to be, all of them started to have their own ideas.

Just like this guy named Gamenio, he even saw the potential crisis of the Whitebeard Pirates, so he decisively withdrew from the Whitebeard Pirates to avoid being liquidated in the future.

He also wants to regain his freedom, wait for the right price, and then join a powerful force in the future.

Gamenio, nicknamed 'Chameleon', is a user of the parahuman Copy Fruit, with a bounty of 3 million berries and very strange abilities.

Not only can he copy other people's appearance, he can even copy their skills and devil fruit abilities.

The great pirate Wang Zhi is now frantically testing Whitebeard's bottom line after Whitebeard fell ill and was injured.

If Whitebeard falls, Wang Zhi might become the next Four Emperors.

As one of Whitebeard's former partners, after the Battle of God Valley, Wang Zhi occupied the base camp of the Rocks Pirates and inherited the remaining forces of Rocks.

The strongest cadres, such as Whitebeard, Golden Lion, and Big Mom, all went out on their own to establish their own forces.

Beehive Island is located in the vast territory of the Whitebeard Pirates.

Whitebeard Newgate himself didn't like Beehive Island, a violent pirate island, so he allowed Wang Zhi to occupy it.

The pirate force of Beehive Island is the strongest force in Whitebeard's territory.

If the Whitebeard Pirates fall, either the great pirate Wang Zhi will become the new Four Emperors, or other pirate groups will defeat Wang Zhi of Beehive Island and truly control Whitebeard's territory and become the new Four Emperors.

The Blackbeard Pirates of the original time and space, even though they defeated the remnants of Whitebeard, did not obtain the title of the Four Emperors.

The major event that made Blackbeard truly become one of the Four Emperors was that the Blackbeard Pirates captured Beehive Island and defeated the forces led by Wang Zhi, which allowed him to truly become the emperor.

···

"Wang Zhi, this guy can't help but jump out!"

Whitebeard was somewhat saddened by the withdrawal of his pirate groups. After all, guys like Squard and Gamenio were all his sons who had called him dad.

But he was even more angry at Wang Zhi's provocation and appearance. Did he really think that his white beard couldn't lift a knife?

If he wanted to, he could still sink Beehive Island into the sea.

If Wang Zhi had not come to ask Rocks for help, how could Whitebeard have allowed Wang Zhi to smoothly inherit the evil party of Beehive Island.

Just as I was showing signs of fatigue, Wang Zhi was eager to jump out.

The Whitebeard Pirates cannot open their mouths to ask for this, otherwise chaos will definitely occur in Whitebeard's territory.

Some ambitious people will also follow the example of Beehive Island and refuse to pay protection fees, causing trouble for the Whitebeard Pirates.

In order to leave a stable environment for his sons and let Ace grow up safely.

White Beard decided to personally suppress Wang Zhi's provocation and let Wang Zhi know that he, White Beard, was not so old that he had to lie in bed all the time.
