Not to mention the overt and covert fights among the five old stars over the opportunity to retreat from happiness.
On Gawain's side, after Mary Joa left, their group quickly arrived at Whitebeard's territory.
You know, there is no vacant land in the new world.
Except for the mobile islands that cannot be stably captured due to special circumstances, most of the islands that can be recorded by the Eternal Pointer have all been carved up by the Four Pirate Emperors.
In other words, only the territory near Red-haired Shanks, and possibly some neighboring islands, have conditions for changing ownership due to changes in authority.
Other islands are either clearly owned by a certain Yonko.
Or, that island is like Dressrosa, a special island that has a cooperative relationship with the Four Emperors and has the permission of the Four Emperors.
Or, that island is one of the best in the World Government Alliance.
Or, they have become unmanaged lawless places where countless cunning villains have gathered!
Under such circumstances, it would be difficult for every ship sailing in the New World to escape the eyes of the Four Emperors.
About nine hours after Gawain left Mary Joa, he was struck by the ruthless storm of the new world.
Gawain stood silently on the bow of the ship, looking in the distance at the Moby Dick, which was sailing towards him in the storm, and at the same time, the crew was singing the boat song happily!
In the pouring rain, it was as if God was celebrating the Water Splashing Festival. Under the heavy raindrops, he smiled and walked step by step to Gawain's side.
"grown ups."
He bowed respectfully and asked in a low voice.
"Newgate is quite interesting, even in the heavy rain they came to see us.
Do you think we should have comprehensive protection and be ready to respond to attacks at any time?"
"Attack?"
Hearing Yixiao's words, Gawain shook his head slightly.
"How could it be possible? Just smile. After all, Newgate has shown his sincerity to me.
He knew my fruit ability, but he was willing to see me in such a thunderstorm.
How could he choose this time to fight with us?"
At the same time Gawain said these words, in the sky in the distance.
Click!!!
Violent thunder crashed on the sea surface, causing two small sea kings with a length of more than 150 meters to pitifully float to the surface.
The Neptunes are also very aggrieved, they just want to take a breather.
Jinbei was very happy, he received a windfall from heaven, and the food tasted delicious...
While Jinbei was excited to catch fish, the Blackbird silently stopped in place, which was close enough to the Moby Dick.
Although the wind and waves are high here, the modified super-large ship with a diameter of more than 12 kilometers and the hull will automatically repair can fully cope with any wind and waves on the sea!
As for Moby Dick.
They were more familiar with the weather in the new world than Gawain. Facing the thunderstorm, they sang boat songs, full of laughter and stopped at a place only about 20 meters away from the Black Bird.
As the Moby Dick approached, the strong men on the Blackbird silently approached Gawain.
Under the cover of rain and lightning, Yixiao, Rayleigh, and Gion gathered behind Gawain, while the other Shichibukai, Rayleigh, Kurokas, and others radiated out in the direction of the three of them.
Well, Mihawk is not in the mood to come here to join in the fun. At this moment, he is staying at the top of Black Bird Mountain, comprehending the art of swordsmanship under the light of lightning.
Although Gawain used a super rogue method to get through it once, he persisted for three or four months before he finally took the trouble to live on Gawain's ship.
But Hawkeye still positions himself as a free man, not as Gawain's subordinate.
For Gawain, the role of Eagle Eye is similar to that of Erlang Shen. They both listen to the tune but not the announcement, and they both have the final word and the final effect of the cauldron.
Gawain didn't mind this, as long as he had Eagle Eye, it was enough. He didn't care what kind of possession it was.
Back to the subject, while Hawkeye was practicing his sword on the top of the mountain, Gawain stood on the bow of the ship, raised his right leg, and stepped on the side of his ship.
The rain wet his hair, making his appearance slightly messy.
But with the quiet influence of a little bit of lightning, his hair and wet clothes also danced gracefully with the storm.
In the distance, looking at Gawain who was as handsome as a pirate at the moment, Whitebeard narrowed his eyes in satisfaction.
I saw him gently lifting Cong Yunqie and turning around frivolously.
“Gawain!
haven't seen you for a long time!
Thank you for the set of hot spring equipment you gave me back then!
I just don’t know if you are still willing to talk with me in the hot spring again?"
After the words fell, Whitebeard looked up to the sky and laughed, then suddenly waved his Cong Yunqi towards Gawain!
At this moment, Cong Yunqie's thick sword energy easily tore apart the thunderclouds in the sky, and then swept towards Gawain!
Watching the clouds split open, so that a little light suddenly appeared in the sky and the earth.
Luffy, who was taking shelter from the rain on the Black Bird, instantly widened his eyes!
"Ah ah ah, this is the strongest man in the world, the great pirate Whitebeard!!!
He actually split the sky with just one knife, this is really... too powerful!!!"
As he spoke, Luffy immediately wanted to run out. He wanted to get closer to the bow of the ship and appreciate the big pirate...or rather, the romance of a strong man who was as free as possible that only existed in Luffy's heart!
But just as Luffy rushed out, Zefa grabbed Luffy's neck!
"Kid, don't join the battlefield at this time. Newgate and Gawain's game is not something you can just participate in!"
After the words fell, Zefa picked up Luffy and raised his hand to launch a brain bomb.
Fortunately, for personal reasons, he preferred to accompany a large group of outstanding young people and disciples to protect them.
Otherwise, wouldn't Luffy, a kid with no rules in his heart, just jump to the Moby Dick gang and start a hand-to-hand battle just like a Nano Nano?
Being carried like this by Zefa, Luffy covered his head and shouted dissatisfied.
"Teacher Zefa, don't hold me back, I am the man who wants to become the Pirate King!
How could I miss such an amazing battle!!!"
"What king of the sea?"
Zefa punched Luffy again disdainfully, then he grinned and shouted.
"You little brats, it's hard to even stand firm under such a storm.
If you want to watch the battle, you can, at least wait until the storm stops!
Did you hear that, Luffy, and those two guys over there who are already shuffling their feet?
Zoro, you are not allowed to approach the bow of the ship in a storm. If you are accidentally affected by their strength, it will be difficult to catch you in the stormy sea!
As for Usopp, what the hell!
Why are you moving backward?
Do you want to escape? Damn it, I really wish you were bolder like Zoro and Luffy!
Ace, watch your brother!
Sabo, grab Zoro!
Iska, find a rope to hold Usopp, I have to take this bastard to the front to join in the fun!
If he isn’t hiding, then he might as well hide in the most dangerous place!!!”
As soon as he finished speaking, Zefa strode into the rain, picked up Usopp and threw him near Iska.
Iska was not polite, and casually threw out a rope from his waist, neatly tied Usopp into a ball, and carried him towards the bow of the ship.
Seeing himself walking further and further on the turbulent deck, Usopp's wails rose into the sky, allowing a group of young people who had never seen the world to boldly say that although they had never eaten pork, they had heard pigs braying.
if.
At the same time, Luffy ran away from the bow of the ship like a madman after a brief silence.
"Ah ah, Teacher Zefa, I am also timid and want to run away, but you should look at me!!!"
Unfortunately, before Zefa could turn around and roll his eyes, Luffy was caught under Ace's arm.
Holding Luffy's neck and pressing Luffy's head, Ace said with a smile while letting the rain fall from his cheeks.
"Luffy, stop chirping, if you want to watch them fight, this distance is the best!
If you don’t believe it, look, that slutty guy Sanji has already found a good position!”
Following Ace's words, Luffy pressed his straw hat hard and turned to look in the direction of Sanji.
Through the curtain-like rain around the straw hat, Luffy could clearly see that Sanji was sitting on the lowest mast, hanging a stick that was mostly wet, but still had some sparks of burning smoke, silently looking into the distance.
Sky.
Noticing Sanji's gaze, Luffy also looked towards the horizon.
At the same time that the thick thundercloud was briefly torn apart from the clouds.
Gawain raised his hand and pulled out Qiu Shui, blocking Whitebeard's sword energy head on.
When Whitebeard's sword energy was wiped out, Gawain stepped on his foot, and his whole body turned into thunder, and he rushed towards Whitebeard's position!
Facing the rushing Gawain, Whitebeard smiled with satisfaction.
"Aren't you finally standing still this time, kid?"
Before he finished speaking, Whitebeard rotated Cong Yunqie, causing Cong Yunqie's thick blade to start from the deck and lift it towards Gawain like a fox moon.
A moment later….
Ding!
Gawain pressed Qiu Shui's sword blade with both hands, and Whitebeard held up Cong Yunqie's blade with both hands. Their blades stopped in place, but they were also constantly vibrating in the air!
Right between Cong Yunqie and Qiu Shui, a ball of extremely dark light, far deeper than a thunderstorm, gathered into a ball.
Feeling the force coming from his hand, Whitebeard laughed with satisfaction.
"Sure enough, you have gained a lot of strength, kid!"
"Of course, after all, you are a guest from afar, and I should make you satisfied, Newgate!"
Gawain laughed in response, and his cloak rustled with the constant influence of air and power.
Gawain stood in the air, pressing the knife in his hand desperately, but even if Whitebeard was already old, he would never be able to suppress Whitebeard, the world's number one, head-on!
One second.
Two seconds.
Time passed slowly, and black cracks appeared next to Whitebeard and Gawain, as if the air was torn apart, caused by the severe collision of the overlord colors.
Looking at the increasingly widening cracks on the ship's bow from a distance, Marco grinned and patted Teach's arm gently.
"Watch out, Teach, this is a rare collision between overlord-colored and super-proficient monsters!
Although you kid got the secret fruit as you wished, you still can't let go of your domineering cultivation.
Especially the domineering look!
If you want to inherit your father's legacy, overlord beauty is the most important quality, isn't it?
Although the Darkness Fruit is very strong, even I can't do anything to you now.
But you still have to become stronger to be able to live up to the expectations of your brothers and dad!"
After saying that, Marco grinned and turned to look at his little brother Teach beside him.
After a few months passed, Tiqi's figure had grown a lot, and he was now almost as tall as the white-bearded father.
Especially for the horizontal figure, this guy's belly is getting wider and wider, which is obviously because his domineering practice is not very good.
If you can cultivate top-level domineering, you can maintain optimal combat power by compressing fat even if you are huge.
On the side, listening to Marco's words, Teach laughed and patted his belly.
"Don't worry, Brother Marco, I won't miss out on domineering!
My father and brothers helped me find the Dark Fruit, a great power comparable to a great secret treasure. If I don’t cherish this power, how can I be qualified to protect the future of my brothers and the Whitebeard Pirates!"
Amidst the laughter, Blackbeard's eyes couldn't help but narrow slightly, and he looked fearfully at Gawain who was in a stalemate with his father in the distance.
This guy who couldn't resist even a casual claw of his own back then actually has the strength to compete head-on with his father!
This is the gift of the devil, this is the power of nature!
Thunder is of course the king of nature, but even thunder can never fill the deep darkness!
I have been pursuing my dream for thirty years since I was a child, but the fruits have already come to me!
You must never waste the power of darkness. Sooner or later, you must stand at that height and become the strongest person who is qualified to control everything and do whatever you want!
With such thoughts in mind, Teach looked at Whitebeard and Gawain with increasingly hot eyes.
He seemed to have seen the distant future, and he saw that he and Gawain would eventually have a battle!
In his heart, even the lava fruits of Akainu and others were not taken into consideration by him.
In his heart, only the confrontation between the Thunder Fruit and the Dark Fruit can truly determine the ownership of the strongest natural power!
Since God brought him to this sea, he must go to the highest level!
Just like the white-bearded father who found the dark fruit for himself, he defeated his enemies one by one and reached the top step by step!
He is the Blackbeard who is destined to devour everything!!!
Just as Blackbeard's heart was beating harder and harder.
The stalemate between Gawain and Whitebeard finally came to an end!
Gawain's power is far inferior to Whitebeard, and there is also a considerable gap between monsters and monsters!
At this moment, he was constantly being provoked by Whitebeard's power. Even if he kicked the air with all his strength, he would inevitably rise by two points.
As for Whitebeard, he didn't feel well either. Although he was stronger in terms of strength, his overlord color and domineering energy were much weaker than Gawain's.
At this moment, fan-shaped cracks appeared on the deck behind him, and he could no longer block the influence of Gawain's overlord color.
At this moment, Gawain and Whitebeard looked at each other, and then in perfect agreement, they sent the power of the confrontation fiercely into the sky!
Sa!
There was a crisp sound.
The overlord-colored sphere, carrying infinite power, rushed into the sky and then smashed into the clouds.
After a while.
boom!
Accompanied by a silent roar, a whirlpool like a black hole suddenly appeared in the sky filled with endless thunderclouds!
And the moment the black hole appeared...
Thunderstorms affecting nearby sea areas completely disappeared.
As the sun began to fall, those watching had to admit...
