Chapter 1017: Sadness and Joy, Same World, Different Lives

"Daddy's flag... It's no longer there. โ€

At the entrance of Fish-Man Island, a new flag stands on the flagpole, and the deterrent power of the beasts makes the pirates who arrive at Fish-Man Island dare not have other crooked thoughts, either crossing the border honestly, or turning into a Piao at the bottom of the sea.

It's just that for the Whitebeard Pirates, this gap is still very large, a few days ago, when they traveled to Marin Fando via Fish-Man Island, the flag here was still theirs, but now everything is different.

It's the same with the Whitebeard Pirates, they're the pirates who came together because of Whitebeard after all.

The composition of the Whitebeard Pirates is not like the original Rocks Pirates or the short-lived Blackbeard Pirates, without the slightest morality, but their composition is also mixed.

After Whitebeard's death, the pirates of this team did not disband, and maintained their original state under the leadership of various captains.

But the affiliated pirates are different, some of the captains died in the battle above the top, and the rest have their own agendas, some choose to continue to fly Whitebeard's flag, and some regain their independence.

Unless someone can carry the banner left by Whitebeard, the Whitebeard Pirates will already exist in name only.

Today, they are still a powerful force in the new world, but they have withdrawn from the first echelon.

It was expected that Fish-Man Island would change its flag, and he also knew that Fish-Man Island had a certain connection with the beasts, but the speed of changing the flag was still beyond his expectations.

"Marco, this is also something that can't be helped, Fish-Man Island has to survive, I hope you can understand our approach, and to be honest, Newgate's last sentence... It caused us a lot of trouble. โ€

It was still Neptune who received them, and the king was still quite busy during this time.

The help that Whitebeard brought to them was real, and even now that the banner of the beasts was hoisted, Neptune was not so ruthless, and still warmly received Marco and the others.

After Whitebeard's death, Marco has become the acting captain of the Whitebeard Pirates, and for the Whitebeard Pirates, there will always be only one captain for them.

Whether it is now or in the future, the position of captain of the Whitebeard Pirates will probably be vacant.

If Whitebeard is still alive, the heir he appoints is likely to be Ace, but it is impossible for Ace to take over this position now, neither he nor the rest of the crew can accept this kind of thing for the time being.

Listening to Neptune's explanation, Marco sighed, he knew he had no reason to say anything.

"I know... But in the future, Fish-Man Island shouldn't need us. โ€

โ€œ......โ€

Neptune didn't reply, but everyone understood that Fish-Man Island, which had been protected by the Beasts, no longer needed Whitebeard's remnants, and Whitebeard's remnants were not capable of sheltering Fish-Man Island.

"Then we won't stay longer, King Neptune, we're going back to Daddy's territory."

......

The territory was occupied by other pirates, this matter was expected by Marco and the others, and it was not surprising that the Hundred Beasts and Big Mom made a move, and now they were not able to offend them with the combat power of the Four Emperors.

And now they don't need as much territory as before, so the Whitebeard Pirates are targeting Whitebeard's hometown - Sphinx Island.

This impoverished island can't afford to pay for heavenly gold at all, so naturally it is not qualified to become a member country, and with the passage of time, it will become a lawless country.

Although Whitebeard went to sea as a child and became a pirate, he has always been concerned about the land where he was born, transporting supplies here from time to time, and even if he has no friends or family on this island, Whitebeard still has a special feeling for his hometown.

What Whitebeard has been guarding is also what Marco wants to protect, but this island is the only thing they don't want to give to anyone.

The Sphinx Island is far from BigยทMom's territory, and the only thing that is risky is the Hundred Beasts, but the Hundred Beasts just gave up this island, which is what Kaido and Arceus meant.

The Sphinx Island is too poor, the geographical location is not good, there is no unique advantage, there is nothing to gain from occupying it, in this case, they directly left it to the remnants of the Whitebeard Pirates.

It's better to have these people on a permanent footing than for them to run around the world.

After this, Shanks arrives on the island and participates in Whitebeard's funeral, and the future of the Whitebeard Pirates is not something for him to think about.

The actions of the Whitebeard Pirates also have reason, persimmons pick up soft pinch, and now they can't afford to offend the beasts and Big Mom, and they can still deal with those pirates who take advantage of the chaos.

Putting grief in their hearts, they began to numb themselves with new battles.

......

On the other hand, in the territory of the Hundred Beast Pirates, the inhabitants of most of the islands are full of joy, and the relationship between the pirate world is generally deformed, and in this case, the Somali pirate banking system of the Hundred Beasts has also been preserved.

Many people have received investment dividends in the case of the victory of the beasts, and as for the sad people...

Even if they are the attackers, they can't avoid this situation, although they will give out bereavement benefits, but relatives and friends will still feel sad, but there are not many such people.

Most of the pirate community is alone, and there are a few like Mandelfesh who are full of promotions and retirements, and hedonists like Drake are the norm.

On weekdays, the Brotherhood grieves for them for a while, but it won't be long before they join the feast to celebrate their victory.

As the leaders of the Hundred Beast Pirates, Kaido and Arceus have not yet returned to the country of Wano, and without special circumstances, Arceus will not speed up the voyage, but will only let the Origin sail at a regular speed.

Kaido couldn't bear the loneliness and rode the eight evil dragons to find someone to fight, more accurately, to abuse the vegetables, and he also heard the news that the sea was no longer calm, and planned to teach those imps who didn't know the height of the sky a lesson.

It's just that before leaving, he indicated the day of the banquet and said that he would return to Onishima as scheduled.

During the voyage of the Origin, there were some lifeboats from time to time, and the warm-hearted Yamato would often help them, and at first they were grateful, but when they saw the pirate flag on her body, the expression on their faces was replaced by fear.

"Father-in-law, I don't understand, why do these people think that the sea can be stable when Whitebeard dies?"

These are the words she heard from the mouths of the people on the shipwreck.

[Whitebeard is dead, why does the sea still not stop. ใ€‘

Even she couldn't understand the remark.

"Yes, even you understand the truth, but most people still don't understand, or rather, it's not that they don't know, but more people don't want to believe it."

"Isn't it... Wait, father-in-law, aren't you praising me? โ€
