Chapter 422: Caught in the Turmoil of the Sea
One day later!
The sky over the new world was cloudless, and the warm sun hung in the azure sky, bringing dazzling light to the world.
"Gurararararar! The World Government really knows how to stir things up! Trying to use this method to restrain us old folks, do they think we're too old?"
In an unnamed sea in the New World, on the deck of a gigantic pirate ship resembling a whale, the world's strongest man, Whitebeard Edward Newgate, stared at a newspaper in the hands of Marco, the captain of the first division ahead, and laughed heartily.
The latest bounty on Mu Chong, and his title as the fifth emperor recognized by the World Government, resounded throughout the world in countless newspapers.
"Dad! The World Government's actions will only make this sea more chaotic. According to our men, as soon as this newspaper appeared, a large number of pirates rioted. Some of them are dissatisfied with the title of Fifth Emperor, and they are already eager to challenge him!"
"However, there is another group of pirates who are trying to join the chivalrous Mu Chong!"
As Whitebeard finished speaking, Marco, frowning, slowly said, "This news has not only stirred up other pirates, but even our own crew members are thinking about challenging Mu Chong."
The deck of the Moby Dick was now filled with members of the Whitebeard Pirates, all silently watching Whitebeard in the main seat.
Different expressions appeared on everyone's faces, but the one thing they all shared was dissatisfaction with this newspaper; the fifth emperor wasn't simply a matter of the World Government recognizing him.
"Dad! Let me test this newcomer's abilities! Hmph! Not just anyone can stand on equal footing with you, Dad!"
Third Division Captain Jozu walked to the middle of the deck, his massive physique exuding terrifying power. He clenched his fist and spoke to Whitebeard.
"Yes, Father! He's just a newcomer who hasn't been at sea long. What makes him think he can become the Emperor of the Sea?"
Team Six's captain, Bramank, with his large pregnant belly, also walked out indignantly.
No sooner had Bramank finished speaking than the pirates surrounding the deck of the Moby Dick began to speak, their words filled with discontent. They shouted loudly, their faces flushed, and some even brandished their weapons.
"Gulalalalala..."
Looking at the lively scene below, Whitebeard burst into laughter. He wasn't angry at their noise; on the contrary, he felt very happy.
As Whitebeard's laughter rang out, the previously chaotic deck gradually quieted down. Pairs of eager eyes were fixed on Whitebeard, everyone awaiting his command.
"Hmm! You don't need to get so worked up. That guy can't possibly threaten the Moby Dick. I'm Whitebeard, you know! Gurararara!"
The white-bearded man's lips curled slightly upward, and his eyes revealed absolute confidence as he laughed.
"Furthermore, the World Government won't recognize the existence of an Emperor again without a reason. They want to create chaos in this sea to weaken the power of the New World pirates. Your impulsiveness just now played right into the World Government's hands!"
Whitebeard's unwavering gaze swept across the faces of every pirate; he wasn't blaming them, but rather speaking with the tone of someone disciplining their own children.
"Phew! Dad's right! We can't get caught up in the World Government's conspiracy. As long as that guy doesn't mess with us, we don't need to worry about him. If he dares to come, we'll make sure he doesn't leave alive!"
A guy who didn't look like a cadre shouted loudly after the white-bearded man finished speaking.
Boom!
However, no sooner had he finished speaking than Blenheim, the captain of the Ninth Squad, slapped him on the head.
"Hehehe! I didn't realize you were so good with words!"
"Hahahahaha..."
Their actions were witnessed by everyone, causing a burst of loud laughter to erupt across the deck, as if a previously serious matter had been easily overshadowed.
At this moment, only Edward Newgate, the white-bearded man sitting in the main seat, stared at the newspaper with a calm gaze, seemingly lost in thought.
The news that the World Government had recognized Mokō as the fifth emperor stirred up a storm on the high seas, and countless pirate crews immediately set sail from various islands, heading straight for Mokō.
The title of "Fifth Emperor" is a kind of faith weighing on the heads of all pirates. No pirate would accept this outcome by doing nothing, let alone ambitious and ruthless pirates in the New World.
Thus, a large-scale war, primarily aimed at destroying the Freedom, is quietly unfolding around the world.
However, not all pirates were so indignant. Some pirates, after learning about Mu Chong's life, decided to follow him.
new world
Above an unknown sea, thousands of meters above the clouds, a small floating island was slowly drifting forward, the silent high sky seemingly completely detached from the noisy sea.
boom!boom!boom……
Rumble!
In the heart of the island, three figures were engaged in a fierce battle, the ferocity of which was evident from the dust billowing around them.
Enel, shirtless, dodged and weaved amidst the combined attacks of Daz Bones and Didac; this sparring match had already lasted for half a day.
Ever since learning that Mu Chong had become the Fifth Emperor, Enel's training enthusiasm has continued to rise. He's either developing the Rumble-Rumble Fruit on his own or engaging in pure hand-to-hand combat with Deidak and the others.
Enel originally wanted to exchange a few blows with Mu Chong, but was stopped by the ship's doctor, Belinda. Her reason was that Mu Chong needed to be in peak physical condition before he ate the fruit, so that Belinda could conduct her research.
boom!
Another clash ensued, the powerful force unleashing a violent shockwave that shook the entire floating island.
Swish!Swish!Swish!
The next second, three figures flashed out from the center of the explosion, standing in three different locations.
"That's it for today! That's enough!"
Enel withdrew his aura, said something to the two people in front of him, and then walked directly towards where Mu Chong was.
"Hahaha! Why did you stop? I haven't even used my full strength yet! Let's go again!"
Panting heavily, Didac straightened up, his hands gripping Enel's exaggeratedly thick waist, and shouted at his back.
Seeing this, Daz Bonis immediately covered his eyes with his hand, his face full of helplessness, thinking to himself: "Bro, look at the state you've been beaten up in, and you're still yelling?"
At this moment, Didac's face was swollen—yes, he had been swollen from Enel's beating—but it didn't diminish his insane toughness in the slightest.
"Hahaha! Didac! Come and eat!"
Just then, Mu Chong, who was sitting some distance away, shouted in their direction and pointed to the food in front of him.
"Yes, Captain!"
The next second, Didak, who had been so aggressive, happily ran towards Mu Chong, his previous arrogance completely gone.
"...I...you..."
Only Daz Bones remained on the battlefield. Watching Didak's retreating figure, he didn't know what to say, shook his head helplessly, and walked over as well.
"Hehehe! Hill! Go on!"
Kouchi glanced at the three approaching figures, then focused his gaze on the Den Den Mushi beside him, took a sip of his drink, and said...
"Captain! This is the current situation on the high seas. All the pirate crews are restless, whether they want to challenge you or join you, they are all looking for your whereabouts!"
"Also, I've found out the Whitebeard Pirates' current location in the New World. Are you really going, Captain?"
