In a certain sea area of the New World, the weather was clear and the sun was bright, with a few seabirds occasionally flying overhead, presenting an utterly beautiful scene.
At the sa ti, a ship shaped very much like a whale was sailing through this area.
The na of this ship was the Moby Dick.
It was also the main vessel of the Whitebeard Pirates, the strongest pirate crew in the world today!
At that mont, aboard the ship, Whitebeard, who bore the title of the World's Strongest Man, was sitting in his supercalifragilisticexpialidocious huge seat, guzzling large mouthfuls of sake.
Now, Whitebeard was already bald and wore a black headband, his body crisscrossed with several scars, but he was not yet as old as in later years, so he was not constantly attached to an IV drip as he would be in the future.
Below him were the many division commanders of the Whitebeard Pirates.
The group was chatting happily, presenting the perfect picture of a harmonious family.
"You know, this sweet and sour fish is pretty good! Thatch, your skills have improved!!"
Marco, the First Division Commander, said with a grin while nibbling on a fish, addressing the man beside him.
"What are you saying, Marco? Can't you talk? My skills have always been this good!"
Thatch glanced at Marco and replied with a similar smile.
Just then, a news bird flew over the ship and dropped a newspaper down.
"Hm?!"
A big, dark-skinned, heavyset man stood up at the sight, caught the newspaper, and instinctively opened it for a look.
But it was that single look that made his pupils suddenly contract, an expression of disbelief spreading across his face as he even cried out involuntarily:
"How is that possible?!!"
This commotion imdiately drew the attention of the others nearby, and even Whitebeard, seated at the head, was drawn in.
"What's wrong?! Teach?"
Marco asked curiously.
Indeed, the big, dark-skinned man was Marshall D. Teach, better known as Blackbeard. At this mont, his hands were trembling almost imperceptibly. After calming himself for a mont, he turned his gaze to the others and spoke deliberately, word by word:
"Wang Zhi and Golden Lion Shiki have been defeated!!!"
!!!
These words sent a collective shock through everyone's hearts, and they also understood why Teach was so astonished. Diamond Jozue couldn't help but ask:
"Defeated by who?"
"Marine Vice Admiral, Kyle!!"
"Kyle?? That kid who beat Moria two years ago?!"
Marco imdiately spoke up.
"Yeah! It's him!"
Blackbeard nodded.
"He beat Moria two years ago, and now two years later, he's beaten Wang Zhi and Golden Lion Shiki..."
"That kid's strength is increasing pretty fast!!"
Marco's tone carried a hint of gravity.
As a pirate himself, he naturally didn't want to see such a prodigious talent erge within the Marines.
"First we have the older generation of powerful figures like Sengoku, Garp, and Zephyr; then there were the three new Logia-type Admirals, Akainu, Aokiji, and Kizaru; and now there's even a new generation Marine powerhouse like Kyle!"
"The Marines' strength is getting sowhat excessive. This isn't good!!"
Thatch said in a low voice, his expression serious.
"What are you worried about, Thatch?!"
At that mont, a vigorous, powerful voice ca from the head of the group.
All eyes turned to see Whitebeard still leisurely drinking his sake, his expression unchanged. After a mont, he set the bottle aside and wiped the liquor from his lips.
"Beating Wang Zhi and Shiki is sothing to brag about?"
"Back in the Rocks Pirates, Wang Zhi's strength wasn't even in the top tier. What's so difficult about beating him?"
"As for that old geezer Shiki, the helm stuck in his head and his severed legs already cost him half his strength. How much of his pri fighting power does he even have left?!"
"Besides, even if he had beaten Shiki in his pri, so what?"
"I am Whitebeard!!!"
As he shouted this last phrase, a terrifying wave of Conqueror's Haki erupted from Whitebeard, sweeping continuously outward and even whipping up a gale.
In an instant, the winds and clouds in the sky began to churn, the flow of the clouds suddenly accelerating.
Below, the crew looked at Whitebeard, who exuded such overwhelming dominance, and the last traces of apprehension they had felt completely vanished.
That was right. Their father was Whitebeard, the World's Strongest Man!
As long as their father was here, there was nothing to fear!
It wasn't just the Whitebeard Pirates. Many other major pirates across the world also saw this sa newspaper.
Onigashima, Wano Country.
Within the brightly lit skull-shaped castle, a wild and unrestrained laugh echoed from inside.
"Oro ro ro ro!!"
"So those two old geezers, Wang Zhi and Golden Lion Shiki, got beaten?"
"This Marine kid is kinda interesting!!"
Kaido of the Beasts, now revered as one of the Emperors of the Sea, was seated in a massive, luxurious seat. He held a newspaper that was practically a miniature edition for him, a look of interest in his eyes.
"The Rumble-Rumble Fruit, Violet Heaven Thunder Form? Possesses extrely terrifying power?"
"Interesting, very interesting! I wonder if he can kill ? I'm actually kinda curious!!"
"Oro ro ro ro..."
Whole Cake Chateau, Totto Land.
Charlotte Linlin, Big Mom, another Emperor of the Sea, was also holding the newspaper. Gazing at Kyle's handso features, her eyes showed deep interest.
"This kid not only defeated those two old coots Wang Zhi and Shiki, but he's also this handso. If I could get together with him..."
Big Mom grew more excited as she spoke, as if she could already see the day she and Kyle would produce powerful children.
For Big Mom, life's two greatest pleasures were sweets and bearing children.
In fact, bearing children was perhaps even more important; she had spent most of her life pregnant, single-handedly building her pirate crew by giving birth.
Others recruited partners; she just gave birth to them directly.
Need more crew mbers? Just have another one!
"Mamama... mamama..."
After laughing, Big Mom imdiately pulled out a Den Den Mushi from her pocket and made a call.
The Den Den Mushi rang a few tis before it was answered, and a respectful voice ca from the other end.
"Mama, what is it? Is sothing the matter?"
"Perospero, keep a close eye on that Marine nad Kyle who defeated Shiki. Watch his movents constantly, and notify imdiately if he goes out to sea!"
"If I can bring him back here to have children with , with the two of us together, we could definitely produce offspring with extraordinary talent!!"
"Mamama, mamama..."
Perospero: ...
The Den Den Mushi line was silent for quite a while before Perospero's voice ca through again:
"I understand, Mama!!"
His tone carried a faint hint of resignation.
This was perfectly normal. Any normal person, upon hearing their mother say she wanted to find them a new father, would have so complaints.
Even if this sort of thing had already happened to Perospero countless tis before.
There was no doubt about it: Kyle's na had already spread throughout the world.
At the sa ti, Luffy and the others' reputations had also beco known to the world.
The major powers across the world all knew that the Marines had produced a crop of rising stars.
