Pirates: Who is the real sun god?

As night falls, the stars roll in.

Eastern Region, Lingxiao Palace.

At this time, the lights in Lingxiao Palace were bright, and the Divine Court Guards and Black Armored Army were standing outside the palace with sharp eyes, doing their duty diligently.

In the meeting room, Barrett sat at the head, with Jhin and Delia sitting on his left and right sides respectively.

Johnson and other backbone members of the Heavenly Court were all sitting below, all with serious expressions. Even Enelu and others who were usually quite jumpy were sitting obediently at this moment.

Barrett glanced at everyone and spoke slowly, "Everyone, I will not hide it from you. Before Whitebeard left, he gave me an ancient seed, a superhuman devil fruit, and 5 billion berries, and asked me to help him. He wanted revenge."

Barrett sighed helplessly, "To be honest, I didn't want to agree to such a dangerous thing, but the price he offered was too high. I couldn't resist the temptation and could only agree reluctantly."

puff-

Ares was the first to hold back. He smiled and said, "Boss, with such a high price, I can't hold back either."

"That's right, that's right. Although our Eastern Region is big, we are also poor! It just so happens that there are people who are helping the poor, and the price is so high, how can we refuse it?" Hibbert followed closely and spoke with a smile.

"Boss, there will be a team battle this time, so you must take me with you." Enel rolled his eyes and looked at Barrett flatteringly, his tone full of confidence and flattery.

"Okay, you're one this time."

Barrett smiled and nodded. After years of training, not only has Enel's fruit development been comparable to the original, but he has also not fallen behind in physical skills. He can use both colors of domineering skillfully, and his observation Haki is more like a bug. It is very difficult for the elite vice admiral of the navy to take him down. Over the years, he has relied on his own strength to take down one of the Nine-Star Generals.

And what Enel said was right, when it comes to large-scale attacks, except for Barrett, Jhin, and Delia, no one else present is as good as him. It has to be said that although the nature system is difficult to awaken, it is really a bug in team battles.

"Thank you, boss. I will definitely do my best." Enel ignored the envious looks of others, took out an apple from somewhere, and happily took a bite.

"Boss, there will definitely be a water battle in a team battle. We fishmen are gifted and have unique advantages in water. How can I be absent from a team battle?" Upon seeing this, Aaron quickly stood up, straightened his long nose, and patted his chest.

"Boss, there's me too. I'm also a murloc, and stronger than Aaron." Kate was a little slow and spoke quickly.

"Boss, there are us too." Tiger and Jinbei also stood up.

"Bosses, you see, I have never seen a big scene, so why can't you let me see one?" Upon hearing this, Aaron looked at the three men with a resentful face. Compared with the three big brothers, he was indeed a little weaker.

The three of them didn't care about that and turned their heads away, especially Tiger and Jinbe. They didn't have the chance to participate in the last war in Wano Country because they were on Fishman Island, and they didn't want to miss the opportunity this time.

Barrett smiled as he looked at the people who requested to fight, feeling relieved. After several years of development, the murlocs had completely taken root in the Eastern Region and had a deep sense of belonging to the Eastern Region. Although Aaron was not as good as Kate and the other two, he had become much stronger than the original after systematic training. He controlled the dual-color domineering aura and was as powerful as a major general of the headquarters, becoming one of the four commanders of the murloc tribe.

Needless to say, Kate and the other two are as powerful as lieutenant generals. Like Aaron, they are one of the four commanders of the merman tribe. Tiger has occupied a position as a nine-star general by virtue of his strong strength.

The four of them each commanded 3,000 fish-man soldiers, and they rotated in pairs between Fish-Man Island and the Eastern Region every year. Jinbei and Tiger came back to replace Kate and Arlong, but they didn't expect to encounter such a big event.

Moreover, the current Tiger and Jinbe have not experienced as many things as in the original work, and they seem mature, more sunny and high-spirited.

Barrett looked at the four people and pondered for a moment, then said, "Tiger, you have a calm personality, so you will stay here to guard the East Region this time. Kate will go to Fishman Island. While you are stationed there, continue to have people look for lantern fish."

"Let Jinbei and Arlong go with us this time."

"Yes, boss."

Hearing this, the four nodded in agreement. The difference was that Tiger and Kate looked helpless, while Arlong and Jinbei looked excited.

"Boss, you have to take me with you this time no matter what. Otherwise, I am one of the nine-star generals, but the bounty is still zero. I feel embarrassed." Immediately afterwards, Lime Jones spoke with dissatisfaction.

Ha ha--

whee--

Hearing this, everyone laughed unkindly.

"Okay, I'll take you this time, Simba will stay. Don't blame me if you're not rewarded yet."

Barrett chuckled and agreed. Simba and Lime Jones have been practicing non-stop since they came to Heaven. With their amazing talents, their physical skills are amazing. In just a few years, their two-color domineering aura has reached the second stage. Therefore, in last year's competition, together with Eneel, they took down one of the nine-star generals in one fell swoop. Their strength is extremely strong, even stronger than Karen who ate the mythical beast.

However, relatively speaking, Simba is a bit lazier and is often taken out by Barrett and others, while Lime Jones is often left behind to look after the house. Unexpectedly, he suddenly wanted to participate in the mission this time.

"Thank you, boss. I will definitely make you proud. The initial bounty must be at least 100 million." Lime Jones sat down happily.

"Boss, I want to go too."

"And my boss."

Afterwards, Hibbert and Ares asked to fight.

Seeing the two men asking for a fight, Barrett was a little hesitant to make a decision. After years of training, Hibbert and Ares had made great progress in strength and were both comparable to elite lieutenant generals. The reason for the difficulty in making a decision was that the basic affairs of the Eastern Region and the two legions had been managed by the two of them over the years. It could be said that the two of them were the stewards of the Eastern Region, and usually one of them would leave and the other would stay.

However, after so many years of development, the two have cultivated a lot of talents in order to have more time for practice. Even if the two leave at the same time, with them keeping an eye on things, there won't be any trouble.

Barrett also understood what the two were thinking. After years of development, the Heavenly Court had grown stronger and stronger, and the competition had become more and more fierce. Although the two were strong, they had fought less frequently, especially against the strong, so they naturally did not want to fall behind.

After thinking for a moment, Barrett said, "You will go together this time, but you need to explain everything clearly before you leave."

"Okay, boss."

The two looked at each other and smiled.

Barrett smiled and nodded, then turned to look at Jhin beside him and chuckled, "Brother, you lead the team this time and I'll take care of the house, is that ok?"

"Boss, don't worry!"

Jin grinned, then stood up and looked at everyone domineeringly, and said loudly, "Brothers whose names were called just now, go down and prepare. We will set off in an hour."

"Yes--"

Upon hearing this, Ares and the others shouted excitedly and stood up to leave the meeting room.

The warlike Xilu and those who were not selected left with helplessness and dejected looks.

After saying goodbye to Barrett, Jhin strode out of the meeting room.

at the same time

Central Region, Red Leaf Island.

At this time, the Baituan group gathered together and held a banquet on the Red Leaf Island. Unknown animal meat was roasted on a huge bonfire. The Baituan group sang and danced beside the bonfire, looking extremely happy.

However, when everyone was drinking happily, Marco was standing beside Whitebeard, with his head lowered with a worried look on his face.

"Dad, we just reclaimed a large island. Isn't it too early to hold a banquet now? And I heard that the navy has sent reinforcements, including the three monsters Garp, Sengoku and Kizaru." Marco looked up with deep worry and sadness on his face.

Three days ago, they left the East Emperor Territory and rushed all the way. Under the leadership of Whitebeard, they forcefully captured the Red Maple Island occupied by the navy.

And this time, because everyone hated the navy, all the navy stationed on Red Maple Island were killed, leaving no one alive, including a vice admiral and three rear admirals.

Although this had a deterrent effect, causing a group of pirates who had taken advantage of the situation to flee the Central Region and the three imperial groups to stop, it also aroused the hatred of the navy. Sengoku and Garp personally went to Red Maple Island with the three monsters.

But at this critical moment, Whitebeard didn't think about how to fight the enemy, but listened to the nonsense of a group of idiots and joined the banquet.

This made him worried and depressed at the same time.

"hehe--"

Whitebeard put down the wine jar in his hand, rubbed Marco's head vigorously, and chuckled, "Marco, didn't you notice that Joz and Vista are not here?"

"Dad, you mean..."

Hearing this, Marco suddenly looked up and looked around, only to find that Vista and Joz were not among the happy crowd.

Suddenly, it occurred to me that I hadn't seen the two of them since the attack on Red Maple Island.

"Silly son, your father is not old and confused. He is still thinking about enjoying himself when facing a powerful enemy. This time I will teach the navy a painful lesson and make them pay with blood."

Whitebeard's eyes were sharp and his tone was cold and murderous.

Marco was shocked when he felt the strong murderous aura coming from Whitebeard. He had followed Whitebeard since he was a child, but he had never seen such a strong murderous aura coming from Whitebeard.

But soon, he thought of what the navy had done before, and his eyes couldn't help but glow with fire, and a strong murderous intent emerged on his body. He gritted his teeth and said

"Dad, I must kill those bastards this time to avenge Thatch and the others."

Whitebeard glanced at Marco, a cold light flashing in his eyes, and looked coldly at the coastline.
