Pirates: Who is the real sun god?

Helios.

The door of the Iliad Palace was closed. Inside the palace, Whitebeard and Barrett sat opposite each other.

"Old man, what is the loss this time?"

Barrett picked up a jar of wine and handed it to Whitebeard, speaking softly.

A week ago, the war that lasted for nearly two months finally ended. The plan of the Navy and the World Government was successful, the Five Emperor Domains were split up, the Seven Warlords of the Sea gained a foothold in the New World, and a new pattern was formed.

Lingxiao was the best, because of the quick return of Barrett and Jhin, only three large islands were lost.

Kaido, Charlotte Linlin, and Golden Lion followed. Although they also suffered heavy losses, the central continent was at least saved. The other islands were occupied by Shanks, Mingo, Blackbeard, Wang Zhi, Silver Axe and some ordinary pirates.

Whitebeard suffered the most. It is not known whether the navy was seeking revenge. In the final stage of the melee, Garp, Sengoku, Zephyr, and Kuzan all appeared in the Central Region and besieged the Whitebeard Pirates. Crocodile, Dragon, and a large number of other pirates also appeared in the Central Region, triggering a huge melee. The Whitebeard Pirates were defeated, and Crocodile was injured by a mysterious strong man and withdrew from the New World. In the end, although the navy also evacuated, the Central Region was also divided up and became a gathering place for various forces.

The Baituan now only occupies six islands near the Eastern Region, and its territory has been greatly reduced.

cluck cluck

Whitebeard seemed a little depressed. After taking a few sips of wine, he said in a deep voice, "The loss is huge. I don't really care about the territory, but there are a lot of casualties this time. Among the ten squads I reorganized, only Marco, Oden, Joz, Vista, Namur, and Bramanque are still alive. More than half of the team members have been killed, and they are all injured. They need medicine and doctors, otherwise I would not have come to you this time."

“It’s such a huge loss.”

Barrett was shocked. He had thought that the White Group would suffer heavy casualties, but he didn't expect it to be so heavy, almost annihilated.

Whitebeard put down the wine jar and explained with a gloomy face, "We fell into the Navy's trap this time. They never intended to take over the Central Region from the beginning. They deliberately sent other pirates to the Central Region and secretly transferred Garp, Zephyr and others here, just to prepare to annihilate the Whitebeard Pirates."

"Luckily, they brought in not only pirates, but other forces as well, so we were able to get out of the battlefield."

"But, our losses were huge. If Marco hadn't had the special power of his fruit, he would have been almost killed by Zephyr."

Barrett said in a deep voice, "Don't worry, old man! There will be no problem with the herbs and doctors. I'll have someone prepare them for you later."

"However, since Karen's death, our doctors are not very good. I hope you can understand."

"Thank you, little boy. I will definitely repay you for your kindness in the future." White Beard nodded with deep gratitude on his face.

"It's okay—" Barrett waved his hand and asked, "What are your plans for the future, old man?"

"Of course, we have to wait until Marco and the others recover from their injuries and then take back the Central Region." Whitebeard said domineeringly.

"I knew it."

Barrett smiled bitterly, thinking to himself that although Whitebeard had changed a lot compared to the original, his personality remained the same and he valued his godsons very much. If so many people had not died this time, he might not be so anxious to take back the Central Region.

However, if Whitebeard stirs up trouble again, the navy will definitely go into battle again, which will be bad for everyone.

Thinking of this, Barrett frowned and said in a deep voice, "Old man, if you take back the Central Region, I guarantee that the Navy will attack again. Then there will be another war. In my opinion, after Marco and others recover, it is better to build a solid base based on the current island and slowly erode the Central Region island. On the one hand, you can train your troops and hone your crew. On the other hand, it will not cause a large-scale battle, and the Navy will not dare to attack easily."

"The most important thing is, you didn't realize that although your current location is close to the Eastern Region, it is only a thousand nautical miles away from Somalik, the edge of the Western Region. And the current owner of Somalik is the person you have always wanted to kill."

"Teach—"

There was a cold light flashing in Whitebeard's eyes. His hatred for Blackbeard even exceeded that of many navy officers. In his heart, Blackbeard was the person he must kill.

Barrett said in a deep voice, "Yes, Teach took advantage of the status of Shichibukai and invaded Big Mom's territory during the chaos. And from what I know, Teach is not a simple person, and he is not much worse than fighting alone."

"Moreover, according to the intelligence feedback, Teach seems to have the ability to seize devil fruits. His current subordinates are basically all ability users, and the previous owners of these ability users died in the past few years."

"The most important thing is that Teach's full name is Marshall D. Teach, and he is now the user of the Dark-Dark Fruit. The reason why he became your son was for this fruit, and through feedback, he used other abilities besides the Dark-Dark Fruit when he fought Big Mom."

"I see."

Whitebeard's pupils shrank sharply. He drank several gulps of wine in succession and seemed to calm down. He sighed and said, "Boy, to be honest, I was scared just now because Teach reminded me of someone."

"Locks——"

Barrett took a sip of his wine.

bang——

Whitebeard suddenly lost color, the jar of wine in his hand fell to the ground involuntarily, and he looked at Barrett in disbelief.

"Old man, you are confused." Barrett handed Whitebeard another jar of wine with a smile on his face.

"Kid, how do you know so much? Could it be Roger?" Whitebeard took the wine and looked at Barrett in surprise.

Barrett smiled and said, "Don't think about it, old man. You know the captain. Given his character, do you think he would tell me this? As for how I know this, don't worry about it. I just want to tell you, be careful of Teach. If my guess is correct, he should be able to eat three fruits. The next one he should be eyeing is your Tremor-Tremor Fruit."

Hula la——

Whitebeard laughed and took a sip of wine. A cold light flashed in his eyes and he said coldly, "Then let him come!"

"hehe--"

Barrett put down the wine jar in his hand, looked straight at Whitebeard, and smiled, "Old man, do you think Teach will be so stupid as to jump out and cause trouble for you now?"

"No, he won't. Since he can hide for so long for a fruit, he will definitely not jump out now. He will wait until I am too old to take action."

Whitebeard's face froze and he put down the jar of wine in his hand, his tone extremely cold.

"good."

Barrett nodded, but then changed his tone and said in a deep voice, "However, I think that Teach won't wait, because no one dares to wait in the current situation. So I think he will take the initiative to capture Marco and others and hand them over to the navy, provoking a bigger war?"

Goo-dong, goo-dong.

Whitebeard took several gulps of wine, his face filled with worry and melancholy.

Barrett didn't interrupt, but just smiled faintly and drank. He knew Whitebeard's weakness and his worries.

bang——

After a while, Whitebeard smashed the empty jar in his hand to the ground. With a cold light in his eyes, he stared at Barrett and said in a cold voice, "Kid, do you need me to do anything, Teach?"

"Don't get excited, old man."

Barrett put down the wine jar and chuckled, "Old man, when do you think Teach would take action?"

"Little devil, is this all your plan?"

Upon hearing this, Whitebeard's expression suddenly changed. He grabbed Sorikui who was standing beside him. His anger soared to the sky along with his violent domineering color. There was anger in his eyes as he looked at Barrett.

"Old man, I don't have any plans. I just guessed what some people were thinking and made arrangements in advance."

Barrett chuckled, a warm and gentle look on his face, not caring about Whitebeard's anger at all.

In fact, after Jinx returned from the East China Sea, Barrett was sent to the Central Region together with Mihawk to keep an eye on the battlefield. However, he never expected that it was not just them who were keeping an eye on the White Group, but also the World Government and Teach.

"Kid, I don't care what you are planning, but I have to go back now." White Beard retracted his aura and spoke with a serious expression.

"Old man, don't be so nervous. Haven't you noticed that you've been here for so long, but Jhin hasn't shown up? No matter what, you are an old acquaintance of his. You should at least come and have a drink, right?" Barrett chuckled and continued to drink without caring.

"Besides, you don't have enough time to go back now. The work over there should have already started." Barrett put down the jar of wine and pointed outside the hall.

He values ​​Teach more than Whitebeard. Ever since King discovered the traces of Teach and the World Government, he not only let King and Mihawk stay, but also sent Johnson, Enel, and Shiryu over, with the purpose of killing Teach with one blow.

In fact, at the beginning he also thought about bringing Teach back to study his body structure, but then he thought about it and gave up. After all, the situation is too chaotic now, and Teach is a time bomb. If Teach escapes, given Teach's temperament, he will definitely target his children. In this way, Ling Xiao will be in a very bad situation, because his weakness is the same as White Beard's.

It is better to nip the crisis in the bud to prevent future troubles.
