Shanks and the others disembarked early in the East China Sea and separated, while the Whitebeard Pirates decided to re-enter the Great Voyage.

"This is the entrance to the Great Voyage, Upside Down Mountain!" said Marco, the captain of Whitebeard's team, to Al.

"Wow! This is the entrance to the Great Voyage, are we about to climb this mountain with the current?" said Al, with some excitement, "It's amazing. ”

"Yes, although I have seen many strange landscapes on the great voyage before, this is the first time I have seen such a magical mountain. Marco smiled and said.

"Oh?" Al glanced at Marco curiously, "Hasn't Captain Marco been to Upside Down Mountain before?"

"Yes, I was born on an island on the Great Voyage, and I was an orphan," a look of nostalgia appeared on Marco's face, "If it weren't for my father, I'm afraid I would have been left with no bones long ago." In fact, there are many people on our boat who are like me, who were originally orphans, gangsters, and people living at the bottom of society, and it was my father who kindly took us in and supported us for a while. ”

"Whitebeard Boat・・・・・・ Daddy, he's such a great man. ”

Marco didn't pay much attention to what Al called Whitebeard, just patted the other party's shoulder, "It's okay, you'll get used to it after a long time, and then you'll find out that Daddy is the greatest father in the world." ”

"Hey, Marko, are you ready?" While Al was talking to Marko, Joz walked over with a huge wine barrel, followed by several pirates, including Captain Thatch of Team 4, Captain Bista of Team 5, Captain Bramanke of Team 6, and a group of ordinary members.

"What is this?" Al glanced at the barrel strangely, "What are you going to do?"

"Oh, this is a ritual before entering the Great Voyage, come along. With that, Marco pulled Al over.

"I'll do it first!" Marco put his foot on the barrel first, "I'm going to make Daddy the One Piece!"

"Al, it's your turn, say what you want. ”

"My wish?" Al, following Marco's example, put his foot on top of the barrel, "I want to be the most powerful elf knight!"

"It's my turn, I'm going to be the strongest man in the world!"

"I want to be the world's No. 1 swordsman!"

"I want to ・・・・・・"

"I want to ・・・・・・"

・・・・・・

Everyone has spoken their wishes, no matter how big or small, ridiculous or not, at this moment, no one will laugh at you, because this is the partner, and protecting the partner's dream is the task of everyone present.

"These boys. In the cabin, Whitebeard smiled, this is his most precious treasure, worthy of his life to protect - family.

――――――――――――Song of the Pirate Knights―――――――――――――

1. Never rage and murder.

2. Never betray.

3. Never be cruel and give forgiveness to those who ask for forgiveness.

Fourth, always give assistance to women.

5. Never coerce a lady.

6. Never get involved in a quarrel because of love or sharp words.

These are the six rules that the second captain of the Whitebeard Pirates, "Pirate Knight" Artoria, first proposed and seriously implemented, in the eyes of the Whitebeard Pirates and many pirates, this is certainly beyond reproach, and there are even many people who praise Al's character, but for most pirates, this is undoubtedly a very ridiculous thing.

It's been two months since Al joined the Whitebeard Pirates, and in the past two months, Al has won the praise of all the Whitebeard Pirates for his extraordinary combat effectiveness, superb wisdom and good conduct, and has earned the title of "Pirate Knight" for his strict implementation of his knighthood in battles with other pirates, and has a high reputation among civilians, and because of his outstanding appearance, it is said that many girls have fallen in love with him.

However, there are still troubles, after all, there is a good saying, the forest is big and there is everything, under the general trend of the Age of Discovery, the number of pirates has increased dramatically, but there are also some pirates, they have no dreams of adventure, just for killing and treasure. is such a group of people, they disdain Al's approach, and even speak ill of each other, for which Al has been distressed for some time.

"Don't worry too much about them, Al," Whitebeard found out of his way to find Al, "just a bunch of beam-jumping clowns, and they'll never understand the true meaning of the word 'pirates.'" ”

"Daddy, you don't need to comfort me," Al said with a wry smile, "I'm fine, I think I'm just not used to being a pirate yet, but don't worry, Daddy, I'll adjust as soon as possible." ”

"Kulalala, I'm relieved if you say that," Whitebeard smiled heartily and patted Al's head with satisfaction, "but now we have a more important problem to face. ”

"What's the matter?" At this time, the six captains present all turned their heads to look at Whitebeard, after all, Whitebeard thought it was a very important thing, so it would definitely not be simple.

"There's a very interesting little guy," Whitebeard said, raising the paper in his hand, which was a challenge, "a little guy named Moonlight Moria is going to challenge me." ”

"Oh, is there such a thing?" asked Bramanque, curiously, after all, Whitebeard has been roaming the seas for many years, and who in the seas today does not know the prestige of the sea overlord?

"Moonlight Moria, a name you've never heard of, a newcomer who has just debuted, right?" said Thatch, the captain of Team IV.

"Cut, a little ghost who has just gone to sea dares to provoke our Whitebeard Pirates?" At this time, Joz was still a young man with strong blood, and after hearing this, he couldn't help but shout, "Don't need Daddy, you go out yourself, I'll kill that kid." ”

"Alright, Joz," Al stopped Joz's shouting, and Al, who was supposed to be an absolute martial artist, became the most intelligent of this group of pirates who only knew how to fight and kill, under the teaching and influence of Merlin," Of course, what Daddy is worried about will not be the strength of that guy, but the impact after fighting with him, if Daddy personally makes a move, he can naturally easily defeat that kid, but it will inevitably be said that he is bullying the small, although Daddy may not care about these things, but of course we as sons can't let others say bad things about Daddy. ”

Speaking of this, several captains present nodded their heads, which is exactly what they insisted on.

Al took a breath and continued: "Moreover, the other party is like a knight to challenge, if Daddy shoots too hard, it may cause some bigger trouble, and even ruin the era of pirates that Captain Roger painstakingly created. ”

Whitebeard nodded, he was more worried about this than his own reputation, this was the trust that his old friend had entrusted him with before he died.

"It's not going to work, that's not going to work, what the hell is going to do?" asked Joz, scratching his head.

yes, what to do?
