Somewhere in the Great Passage.

A large, three-masted ship with a whale-like bow moored in the calm sea.

If an outsider is present, he will definitely be able to recognize the origin of this large three-masted ship at a glance - the Moby Dick, the strongest man in the world, Edward the Whitebeard. The main ship under Newgate.

"The end of a supernova?"

On the deck of the Moby Dick, a tall, dark-skinned man with short blond hair and sunken cheeks was reading the latest newspaper.

He is the leader of the eleventh team of the Whitebeard Pirates, named Jingudo.

Although he is five big and three thick, he likes to read newspapers and always pay attention to the current information.

Around the deck, the members of the Whitebeard Pirates sat or stood, with no rules to speak of, and they looked very casual.

In front of them, the deck was filled with food and drink.

Apparently, they were sitting on the floor and holding a banquet on the deck that pirates were accustomed to.

Tables and chairs are not required.

The dish doesn't need much either.

However, the wine must be sufficient.

This is the happy time of the pirates above the sea.

"Jin Guduo, everyone else is drinking and eating, it's good for you to sit here and read the newspaper?"

Another Whitebeard's captain of Team 13, Artemos, came to Jingudo's side and looked at him with a gaze that seemed to be looking at Tie Hanhan.

"As long as Daddy doesn't mind, I'll be fine with Marco's medical book."

Jin Gudo didn't raise his head, and looked down to carefully read the headlines in the newspaper.

Hearing Jingudo's words, Artemos, who was as strong as a cow, pursed his lips, but sat next to Jingudo with a wine glass, squinting at the newspaper in Jingudo's hand.

"Bacardi. Hammond? Is this guy's news again......"

At the sight of the name in the deliberately bold headline headline, Artemose raised an eyebrow.

Jin Guduo nodded and said, "Yes." ”

Atmouthon leaned in and took a general look at the content of the report, which was full of beautiful words, and a few black lines involuntarily hung down from his forehead.

"I was suspicious before, this guy probably spent money to buy the news agency, but now I'm more sure."

"Artemos, there are not a few people who feel the same way as you, but after all, this is a newspaper published by the World Economic News Agency, and the exaggeration is exaggerated, but the content is basically true."

After reading the newspaper, Jin Gudo looked up at the captain of the second team, Fire Fist Ace, who was drinking and eating meat not far away, touched his chin, and said, "Now as long as I see the same as Bacardi. There is a kind of news about Maude...... It's like I just saw Ace Headlines last year. ”

"Ace......"

Atmos was stunned for a moment, then looked at Ace, who was laughing wantonly not far away, and said, "Hearing you say this, I seem to feel this way, I remember...... Last year was probably this time, and Ace made headlines from time to time, so that it was rare for Dad to pay attention to a newcomer. ”

"Haha, if it weren't for that, how would we have such a reliable second-team captain?"

Jingudo was still looking at Ace, a thick smile on his slightly old-fashioned face.

Atemos smiled knowingly, glancing at Maude's photo in the newspaper out of the corner of his eye, brushing his long beard like an animal's sideburns, and pointingly, "It won't be long before this super newcomer is coming." ”

"Well, the limelight is so strong, I don't know if Daddy is interested in him."

Placing the newspaper beside him, Jin Gudo picked up his glass and took a big sip of it.

The "difficulty of survival" in the new world is not comparable to the paradise in the first half of the Great Passage.

Anyone who enters the new world, if they do not choose to cling to the banner of one of the four emperors, they will most likely be overturned by the tide of the new world.

And the attitude of the Four Emperors towards those fresh blood with great potential has always been that they do not refuse to come.

They have their own ways of absorbing fresh blood.

The Pirates' aunt Charlotte. Lingling's approach is marriage, which is to strengthen the relationship by marrying her daughter to a potential newcomer she values.

Kaido of the Hundred Beast Pirates is more rude, usually in the way of power supremacy, from both physical and mental, to make the lonely newcomers surrender to this.

Compared with the Pirates and the Hundred Beast Pirates, the Whitebeard Pirates and the Red-Haired Pirates where the other two Four Emperors belong seem to be a bit Buddhist in their attitude towards newcomers.

The red-haired pirates take the route of excellence, so the threshold for joining the group is very high, and even if some newcomers come here, as long as the conditions are not up to standard, they will often be turned away.

As for the Whitebeard Pirates, it can be summed up in one sentence in a nutshell - be my son!

If you say yes, you will get on board, and if you don't agree, you won't force it.

"What are you talking about?"

A man with golden pineapple hair approached Kingudo and Artemos, looking at them curiously.

"Marco."

Jin Guduo looked at the visitor, picked up the newspaper he had just put down, and said with a smile: "I'm talking about this year's super newcomer." ”

"Oh? Super newcomer, I think it's called Bacardi. Maud is coming. ”

Marco took the newspaper and glanced at the headlines.

As the captain of the Ichiban team under the command of the Whitebeard Pirates, he still pays attention to the newcomers who emerge in an endless stream every year.

And Maude is undoubtedly the most dazzling newcomer this year, and there is no one.

Marco quickly read the headlines and exclaimed, "What a rather murderous super newcomer." ”

"Indeed."

Artemos and Jingudo nodded at the same time.

Every year, several supernovas pop up that regularly dominate the headlines.

And the incident of killing five supernovas and capturing one of the supernovas of the same period is the only case of Maude.

To some extent, it would be polite to call him cruel.

Marco smiled, then looked at Ace not far away, beckoned and shouted, "Ace, come here." ”

Hearing Marco's greeting, Ace, who was fighting for wine, couldn't help but put down his wine glass, first confessed to his companion, and then got up and came to Marko.

"What, are you going to drink with me?"

Ace's freckled cheeks were filled with a hearty smile.

"No, you look at this first."

Marco smiled and gently hammered Ace's shoulder, then handed the newspaper to Ace.

Ace took the newspaper and looked at it a few times, and said seriously: "Oh, it's him." ”

On the sea, one of the ways to keep an eye on the current situation is the newspaper, and those who often make headlines will always slowly accumulate enough fame to be known.

Ace has just gotten rid of his rookie status and been promoted to the captain of the second team under the command of the famous Whitebeard Pirates, and he also pays a little attention to Maude, this year's super newcomer.

Marco instigated: "Ace, this guy is more active than you were last year, when he comes to the New World, do you want to try to 'subdue' him?" ”

"If Daddy is interested in him, I don't mind taking a trip."

Ace smiled and closed the newspaper.

The so-called "subjugation" is to use strength to impress a certain pirate group, so as to attach itself to the banner of Whitebeard.

It's not the first time Ace has done this kind of thing.

At present, among the more than 40 pirate groups attached to Whitebeard's banner, three pirate groups were "subdued" by Ace.

These pirates themselves are not affiliated with the Whitebeard Pirates, but as long as Whitebeard gives an order, they will respond as soon as possible.

And in fact, being attached to the banner of Whitebeard is not a bad thing.

At the very least, as long as he acts under the banner of Whitebeard, in the new world, he will not have to bear too many potential threats from the other Four Emperors.

"Will Daddy be interested......"

Marco couldn't help but look at the whitebeard who was sitting in the chair, ignoring the dissuasion of the young nurse, and was gulping down wine.

As Ace said, in order to "subdue" the Maude Pirates, the prerequisite is that Whitebeard is interested.

As long as Whitebeard hadn't brought it up, then they had no reason to act.

However, from their point of view, it would be a pity to miss out on a newcomer with such bright potential and prospects.

Thinking of this, they started to take the initiative to bring up the matter with Whitebeard.

Meanwhile.

New around the world.

When Maud arrives in the Chambord Islands, just one step away from the New World.

His existence officially broke into the eyes of the Pirates and the Hundred Beast Pirates.

Last year's super newcomer who attracted much attention was Fire Fist Ace, who was eventually taken under Whitebeard's command, and then became the captain of the second team of the Whitebeard Pirates in a short period of time, becoming a combat force that should not be underestimated.

In terms of status, it is like the [General Star] under the command of the Pirates, and the three disasters under the command of the Hundred Beast Pirates.

And this year's super newcomer Maude obviously has such potential and qualifications.

In the face of such potential newcomers, the Pirates and Beast Pirates, who have never stopped growing their power, will not be easily missed.

As soon as Maud enters the new world, they will make a move.

As for the red-haired pirates, they are relatively calm.

To say why......

Because, Maude once refused Shanks's invitation.

Of course, although some members of the red-haired pirates led by Jesusbu have always paid attention to Maude, they have also given up the idea of adding Mordra to the pirates.
