Chapter 367: Battle on the Top
The "Marine War" was an important turning point in the history of the film. This "big event" not only caused Luffy to lose Ace, but also affected Luffy's life thereafter. At the same time, after this incident.
The landscape of the pirate world has also undergone tremendous changes. It is not only the reorganization of the navy's combat effectiveness, but also the beginning of the breaking of the balance of power among all parties on the sea. Many pirates have returned to the arena, intending to get a piece of the pie!
As the "strongest man in history", Edward Newgate (nicknamed Whitebeard) ushered in his own era in the twenty-two years after Roger's death.
He was once a member of the Rocks Pirates, and later became one of the "Four Emperors of the Sea". The "Marine War" two years ago was caused by Whitebeard's conflict with the Navy in order to save his second captain Ace. The final result was that Whitebeard and Ace died in the battle, and the Whitebeard Pirates faced the situation of disbanding.
Whitebeard's death was so sudden that many people were surprised. Such a powerful character was so vulnerable to the attack of the navy. While the audience marveled at the strength of the navy, they also couldn't help but feel sorry for Whitebeard.
However, at this moment, a new character appeared and "astonished" the fans. He was "Whitebeard II", a pirate who was known as Whitebeard's biological son.
Edward Weeble was once one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea. He had a crescent-shaped white beard that curved upwards like Whitebeard's, but it was relatively thinner and longer.
In terms of body shape, Whitebeard II is taller, burly, and obese, with a lot of flesh on the upper body, but thin legs. Just from the appearance, Whitebeard II looks exactly like Whitebeard.
When Whitebeard II saw the photo of Whitebeard, he thought he was looking in the mirror, which shows that his IQ does not seem to be very high.
Now, Whitebeard II, who calls himself "Whitebeard's son", is clearing out Whitebeard's former pirate groups one by one. His purpose is to make them admit that he is Whitebeard's son. So far, he has killed 16 captains under Whitebeard in a row. If Whitebeard were still alive, he would probably be so angry that he would die.
Whether Edward Weeble is the son of Whitebeard remains to be verified, but his strength is very abnormal. Do you still remember the previous Navy Admiral Zephyr?
When he retired to teach at the age of 65, the naval training ship he led was attacked by pirates. You should know that he was the former admiral of the navy and his strength was already very powerful. Now Akainu, Aokiji and Kizaru are all his students.
Then, after such a powerful admiral was attacked by this pirate, all of his beloved students except Ain and Binz were killed, and his right arm was also seriously injured. Later, it was speculated that the pirate who attacked Zefa's ship was Whitebeard II!
After Whitebeard's death, Miss Bakin saw a very good opportunity. She instigated her child, Whitebeard II, to fight for the treasure left by Whitebeard, so that he could obey his mother's words and clean up the pirate group before Whitebeard.
After the Dressrosa incident, he defeated 16 former captains of Whitebeard, causing about 600 casualties. Wherever he went was like hell, causing great trouble to ordinary people and giving the navy a headache!
As the title says, Whitebeard II is just a warrior, but it seems that Kizaru is not afraid of him. Kizaru mentioned, "This Whitebeard II has the same strong power as Whitebeard when he was young!"
This sentence is just an affirmation of Whitebeard II's fighting ability, not a fear of Whitebeard II. But speaking of it, Kizaru is actually very reluctant to fight this "second-generation ancestor", why do you say that?
Whitebeard II is very powerful, and fighting him will be very troublesome!
In the 22 years after Roger's death, Whitebeard established his own era, and he created a world for himself when he was young. Kizaru believes that Whitebeard II possesses the power of Whitebeard when he was young, which also shows that Whitebeard II is very powerful.
Some people say that Whitebeard II's bounty is only 4 million berries, which is even less than some supernovas today. What's so great about him? In fact, this 8000 million berries is false, because Whitebeard II has another identity - the Seven Warlords of the Sea.
I don't know if you have noticed that the bounties of any of the Shichibukai are not high. This is because the bounties are before they are invited to become Shichibukai, so the bounties remain unchanged afterwards. If you want to measure these "Shichibukai" (Hawkeye, Empress, Whitebeard II...) by the bounties, then I'm afraid you have to multiply them several times to get their real bounties!
From the limited footage of Whitebeard II's appearance, it can be seen that this "second generation" is very powerful, but he seems to be a bit slow-witted. He completely listens to his mother, Miss Bakin, and does whatever she tells him to do. In fact, I don't think Whitebeard II is the son of Whitebeard. He is more like the son of another of the Four Emperors, Big Mom!
If Kizaru fights Whitebeard II, it would probably be meaningless. Whitebeard II only knows how to attack and has no fear at all. This would mean no "gaming experience" for Kizaru.
Kizaru’s favorite thing to do is “talk cowardly and fight arrogant people”, but if he fights with Whitebeard II, Kizaru’s “cowardly words” will have no effect on Whitebeard II at all, so how can Kizaru fight?
Kizaru's fighting ability is extraordinary. Among the original three admirals, Kizaru is not the weakest, he is just the most leisurely, and will never take the initiative to stand in one side's camp. That's why he can become a "veteran of two dynasties". When Akainu was the marshal, he still held the position of admiral.
Kizaru has praised many people before. I remember when he was in the Sabaody Archipelago, facing several supernovas, although Kizaru said, "Every supernova is as strong as a monster," he still kicked the supernovas one by one, making them realize the gap in fighting power between themselves and the admirals, and realize the horror of the new world.
And now that Kizaru is praising Whitebeard II, it probably also means that Kizaru is not afraid of him!
Ever since Whitebeard's death, Sengoku's resignation as the admiral, and the reorganization of the navy's combat effectiveness, the sea has become turbulent again. Even if Kizaru, as a veteran admiral, is lazy, he dare not blatantly engage in passive resistance. After all, his boss is his former companion and classmate.
The ocean today is different than before, and Kizaru's work is also facing tremendous pressure.
On the one hand, the World Conference is held, intending to abolish the Shichibukai system, and the navy will lose a lot of combat effectiveness;
On the other hand, Straw Hat Boy Luffy challenged two of the Four Emperors in succession, and the supernovas were not satisfied with the status quo and challenged the Four Emperors one after another;
The new admirals Green Bull, Fujitora and Akainu are not on good terms, and Fujitora even kneels down in front of everyone, making the navy lose face... With so much work to do, Kizaru is just worried about the huge work pressure. Whitebeard II is one of them, but he is not really afraid of this "second-generation ancestor"!
