"What's wrong with you?" the battle was finally over, but Marco noticed that everyone's expressions were strange.

"Phew, you've finally won. Everyone let out a long breath, even Kobra.

"What's wrong, why am everyone unhappy when I win?" Marco gave everyone a strange look.

"Rejoice, we're all going to die of joy. ”

"Wishing you prosperity. ”

"Good luck. ”

"Give birth to a noble son early. ”

・・・・・・

―――――――――――― Daddy Whitebeard for All――――――――――――

Two flowers bloomed, one for each branch, and then we spoke of Whitebeard, who, since he got off the boat, had been separated from his sons, and wandered aimlessly alone through the streets.

"Ah, Newgate, isn't this Newgate?" a voice sounded with a bit of surprise.

Whitebeard turned his head strangely, trying to see who was calling him by his name, Edward Newgate, which hadn't been called in years.

"Newgate, it's me," a slightly familiar face appeared in front of Whitebeard, "don't you remember me?"

"Oh, it's you, Kali. Whitebeard suddenly patted his head and said to the man.

"It's Kaki, bastard! It's Kaki!" the man suddenly jumped up in anger and shouted at Whitebeard.

"Oh, so your name is Kaki. Whitebeard made a sudden realization.

"Bastard, what kind of attitude do you have!" the man yelled at Whitebeard, but calmed down again, "Forget it, you're like this, and I don't care about you." ”

"Long time no see, Edward Newgate. ”

"Long time no see, Nafirutali Kaki. ”

"Hahaha・・・・・・"

"Kulalalala・・・・・・"

The two laughed and hugged each other.

"How did you remember that I'm here in Alabastan?" asked Kaki as he put his arm around Whitebeard's shoulder.

"Why, don't you, His Majesty, welcome me?" asked Whitebeard with a smile.

"How come?" Kaki smiled and punched Whitebeard in the shoulder, but his voice was lowered, "You won't be here for Elaine this time, will you?"

Elaine!

The name seems to have magical powers, and it washes away the joy of Whitebeard's reunion with his old friend.

"Elaine・・・・・・" Whitebeard whispered the name, then shook his head forcefully, squeezing out an ugly smile, "No, this time, I'm just passing through Alabastan and getting off the ship for some necessary supplies." ”

“・・・・・・”

The atmosphere was slightly gloomy, and Kaki could tell that this best friend of his still couldn't let go of that past, couldn't let go of that person. The two were speechless for a while, looking at each other in silence, and for a moment the atmosphere became depressing, and Kaki felt that he had to do something, otherwise, he was afraid that this rare meeting of old friends would be unhappy.

It's just that before he could do anything, someone had already helped him get things done.

"You're Whitebeard, aren't you?the strongest man on the sea since Roger's death?" a teenager stood in front of them, "I'm going to challenge you!"

Kaki couldn't help frowning, "The strongest man on the sea after Roger's death", it is clear that Whitebeard is not as good as Roger, but you must know that although Roger is called "One Piece" by everyone, it is only because he conquered the great voyage and arrived at the end of the world Gangdaruff, in terms of strength alone, Whitebeard is stronger than Roger, and this young man is now challenging the strongest man on the sea, how can he not know so much?

However, Whitebeard did not get angry because of this, which was also expected by Kajita, after all, a man who can become the overlord of the sea, his mind is as broad as the sea.

"Kulalala!" Whitebeard laughed heartily, "Good boy! It's been a long time since I've seen a young man as bold as you, and now the only young man on the sea who can compete with you is a kid named Moonlight Moria I met some time ago, boy, what's your name?"

Although he seemed to look down on Whitebeard in tone, it was actually very exciting to be recognized by such a strong man, and this young man was no exception, he forced down the excitement in his heart and tried to make his voice sound calm, "My name is Klockdahl. ”

"Very well, Klockdahl," Whitebeard's eyes looked even more appreciative at the sight of Klockdahl's calm face, "release your elf." ”

"Come out, black-eyed crocodile. Hearing Whitebeard's words, Klockdahl threw out his Poké Ball, out of which a small brownish and yellow crocodile with two black circles in its eye sockets popped out.

If Al was here, he might have heard a "drop" and an introduction to the black-eyed crocodile, but now that Al is not here, Whitebeard has no way of knowing the information about the black-eyed crocodile, and he can't even understand his attributes, but as the overlord of the sea, will Whitebeard care about these little things?

"Come out, old man!"

The burly Haoli jumped out of the ball, and his fierce momentum made everyone stunned.

"Come on, black-eyed crocodile, use the bite!" Klockdahl couldn't help but attack first.

"Whew!"

The little crocodile picked up four small short legs, rushed to Haoli's side quickly, opened its big mouth and was about to bite down.

"Haoli, use the hand knife!"

"Howe~"

"Smack!"

With a crisp sound, Haoli's hand knife slashed out, hitting the top of the black-eyed crocodile's head.

The black-eyed crocodile's attack was interrupted, and he was blinded by the knife and retreated to Klockdahl's side.

"Sure enough, he is the strongest man on the sea," Klockdahl whispered to himself, then waved his hand, "Black-eyed crocodile, let's continue to attack, use burrowing!"

The black-eyed crocodile immediately followed Klockdahl's instructions and used his burrowing skills, and it dug very fast, and in the blink of an eye, there was only a black cave left on the ground.

"Hehe, crocodile boy, this kind of attack is useless to me," Whitebeard smiled, "Haoli, use the earthquake!"

"It's just waiting for your trick!" Klockdahl suddenly showed a scheming smile, "Black-eyed crocodile, use quicksand hell!"

"Boom!"

Haoli stepped on the ground with one foot and caused an earthquake, but instead of shaking the black-eyed crocodile out, he stepped into the quicksand hell with one foot, and half of his body was trapped in it, unable to move.

"Haha, you're out of the way now, are you?" Klockdahl laughed, "Black-eyed crocodile, rush up and use the bite!"

"This ploy is indeed very good, but crocodile boy, you remember, in the face of the real strong, these conspiracies are useless!" Whitebeard's momentum perked, "Haoli, continue to use the earthquake." ”

"Boom!"

Haoli smashed his fists on the ground, and the whole earth began to shake violently, as if it was about to crack, and the black-eyed crocodile was thrown out by the violent vibration, fell to the ground, and fainted.

"How's it going, boy?" Whitebeard laughed, retracting his strength.

"You are indeed strong, and I am no match for you. Klockdahl smiled wryly and pulled the fainted black-eyed crocodile back into the ball.

"Kulalala, crocodile boy, do you want to get on my boat and be my son?"

At this time, Kaki on the side smiled, "Hey, I said Newgate, why do you want to take someone as your son when you see him?"

"Newgate?" Lockdahl, who was thinking about Whitebeard's suggestion, suddenly raised his head when he heard the name and stared at Whitebeard, "You're Edward Newgate?"

"That's right, why, you've heard of me?" Whitebeard smiled, looking at Crocodall.

"I'm going to kill you!"
