Chapter 405 Whitebeard's Attitude
Iceberg and Franky had heard of the name of Golden Lion and knew that he was a very strong and powerful pirate, but they did not know what specific deeds Golden Lion had done.
So the two of them chased Tom to ask about the glorious history of the Golden Lion. Only in this way could they know how valuable the Golden Lion killed by Vic was. Tom and Kokoro were eyewitnesses. They would be forced to know about pirates of the Golden Lion's level even if they didn't want to. Therefore, the beach of Feichuanchang in the Water Seven City was very lively!

"Dad! Take a look at today's newspaper. There's news about the boy you're interested in!"
On the Moby Dick, Marco, the pineapple-haired man, had a complicated expression on his face as he handed the newspaper in his hand to the tall figure sitting steadily in the middle of the deck.
Whitebeard was drinking heavily at this moment. They had just passed by an island within a territory. The country on the island that was protected by the Whitebeard Pirates sent them a large amount of wine and food. At this moment, a banquet was being held on the pirate ship, and the seagulls that came to deliver newspapers were almost eaten by them.
"Gulala! Is it that kid from the navy? You wouldn't have this attitude if it was the red-haired kid. Let me see what he has done!"
Whitebeard put down the large wooden barrel containing wine in his hand, took the newspaper from Marco's hand and started reading. The smiling expression on his face slowly faded.
The joyful atmosphere on the deck suddenly changed, the noisy sounds became quieter, and finally turned into silence.
Except for Marco, everyone's eyes were moving back and forth between the newspaper and Whitebeard's face, wanting to know what the big news was. After reading it, Marco directly gave the newspaper to their father, and they had no chance to see the specific content.
"Just take a look! It's really big news!"
White Beard's voice was a little low. After reading the news in the newspaper, he stared at the photo for a long time. After a moment of silence, he threw the newspaper to everyone and picked up the wine barrel to drink.
Ignoring his sons fighting over the newspaper, Whitebeard fell into reminiscence. He thought of the days with Golden Lion in Rocks. Except for him who longed for his family, the other strong men of the same level were all ambitious.
Especially Golden Lion, he is the most extreme one except Captain Rocks. He did not feel any sadness about Golden Lion's death. They have never been on the same path and have never had any heart-to-heart talks. He just silently sighed in his heart that the new era that Roger talked about is coming step by step and nothing can stop it!
On the pirate side, Red Hair is on the rise, and there are also Barrett, Crocodile, Hawkeye, Doflamingo, Moriah, etc., but Red Hair is more dazzling. The last time he let go of Crocodile who challenged him was because he saw that he had some potential and he couldn't bear to kill him in his hands.
The Navy also has Vic and several potential up-and-coming talents. I don't know if it's a common characteristic of the times or if it's really the great era at work, but Roger is certain that a great era is about to come.
"Dad! Was Golden Lion on the same ship with you before? He was also very famous on the sea before, so his strength shouldn't be this high, right?
That marine was defeated by Red Hair last time, and it’s only been a year. Can he really kill the Golden Lion?
Could it be that the Navy hero Garp took action? He was the one who did the final blow? Did the Navy want to push him to the top? "
Marco had already finished reading the newspaper and did not join in the fun with the others. He thought the news in the newspaper was just a way for the Navy to build momentum for Vic.
After all, in Marco's eyes, Morgans and the World Government are almost in the same boat, so they can report whatever they are told to report.
Moreover, not long ago, Vic couldn't even beat Red Hair. They were well aware of Red Hair's strength. Although he was very strong and talented, he was still far from White Beard and the others. Last year, he was driven out of the New World by an old strong man and has not returned to the New World yet. So he felt that the news in the newspaper was untrue.
"It should be true! Garp would never do such a thing. If it was Sengoku who led the team, it might be an act. This guy should have done it with his own ability.
Golden Lion, Roger, and I were all pirates of the same rank. At that time, you were still a kid and didn't know much about what happened during that period.
However, after the battle between Shiki and Roger at the Battle of Edwo, the Golden Lion suffered heavy losses and fell silent.
But before Roger was executed, he went to the Marine Headquarters and caused a scene, but was defeated by Garp and Sengoku.
Golden Lion recognized Roger the most. Unfortunately, he didn't know that Roger turned himself in to report his terminal illness. He put himself in trouble.
After escaping from prison, he lost both legs and had a ship's rudder inserted into his head. I guess these had a great impact on his strength!"
In response to Marco's question, Whitebeard gave a brief explanation. He knew best how much impact injuries had on combat effectiveness.
What he didn't know was that Roger, Golden Lion, and Whitebeard, the three people who once stood at the pinnacle of the sea, were all defeated by injuries. It could be said to be a coincidence but it was also inevitable. After all, strong people like them were difficult to be defeated. The most likely reasons for their exit from the stage were injuries and aging. This was the reason why they could become legends of the sea. They were too powerful.
"I also received news that the boy ate the natural thunder fruit and has the title of Thunder God in the Navy Headquarters. His strength should have improved greatly.
Moreover, his talent may be even stronger than that red-haired kid. I am not surprised that he can defeat Shiki now. I just feel a little sad that he is growing too fast. I guess many potential pirates will die in his hands in the future! The sea is boiling again!"
Whitebeard had a premonition that as the new generation grew up, the ocean would become more chaotic. Before, the navy and these big pirates were very restrained, but soon this balance would be broken until it was balanced again.
"Since he is so strong, he should come to the New World soon, right? Or should we kill him in the cradle in advance?"
Marco also thought that Whitebeard regarded Vic as a major threat and would bring a major disaster to the pirates in the New World.
"There's no need for that. The red-haired guy can stop him. Maybe he is the whetstone for the new generation of pirates. Let's just wait and see!"
Whitebeard said calmly that although Shanks was also very young, he was also very optimistic about him and had been noticed by him since he was on Roger's ship.
While Whitebeard was talking to Marco, his sons had basically finished reading the news in the newspaper, and there was suddenly a buzz of discussion on the deck.
The name Vic has been completely imprinted in their minds. This young and powerful navy man is someone they need to pay special attention to in the future. They will not always live under the wings of their father.
