Chapter 155 Rumors
Soon after, as flocks of news birds flew out and brought newspapers to every corner of the world, the entire sea began to shake.
Shocked by this arrogant East China Sea Overlord!
The man who became the Pirate King, looking for Raftel, exploring the will of D, studying history... Hiss, dare to say such an extremely arrogant declaration? !
This guy is worthy of being called the East China Sea Overlord. A big man is really going to appear in the East China Sea!
He is simply declaring war on the World Government in front of everyone!
New World, Whitebeard Pirates.
"Ace, stop eating meat, look at today's news, the East Sea Overlord... This is your fellow countryman! This guy looks much more powerful than you!"
"It's unbelievable that there are 1.5 billion berries just after entering the Grand Line!"
"It's 500 million, of which 1 billion is the bounty offered by that [Tian Yasha] Don Quixote Doflamingo!"
"Oh, I know this too. It was only 1.3 billion at the time. I didn't expect that it would be 1.5 billion in just a few days. Some people said that when Doflamingo was arrested, he said in front of the navy that if the East Sea Overlord was not caught this time, the navy would definitely regret it!"
"Hahaha, that guy was right. I guess the navy must be regretting it now?"
"Then we have to celebrate!"
"Let's celebrate the bad luck of the navy!"
Looking at the news in the newspaper, the crew of the Whitebeard Pirates immediately raised their glasses happily and cheered loudly.
Ace, who was eating meat, couldn't help but glance at the newspaper. When he saw the guy wearing a golden mane cloak in the newspaper, he was stunned for a moment, as if he thought of something, but he couldn't remember it clearly. He frowned and said distressedly, "I think I have seen this guy!"
"Isn't that natural? He is your fellow countryman! I guess you saw him in the East China Sea!" The other Whitebeard crew members beside him burst into laughter, "It is rumored that he is the biological son of Pirate King Roger, so he has been staying in the East China Sea to restore the glory of pirates. I don't know if it is true?"
As soon as these words fell.
Ace: ? ? ?
He was so confused that he was even scared that the meat on his hand fell off. He widened his eyes and looked at the newspaper in his hand, "That guy has a son? I absolutely don't admit that he is his younger brother? My only younger brother is Luffy! And..."
Ace, who has already recognized Whitebeard as his father, raised his head and looked at Whitebeard with a firm expression on his face.
"Only Dad can become Pirate King!"
"What brother? Ace, what are you talking about?"
"Is Luffy your brother?"
Just as everyone was looking at Ace curiously.
"Wu La La La!" The Sea Emperor, the captain of the Whitebeard Pirates, Edward Newgate, who was also looking at the newspaper, laughed and said, "Maybe Ace wants this guy to become our family!"
"Ah? Is that so?"
"I'm looking forward to meeting this East Sea Overlord!"
"It's just 1.5 billion Baileys, which is higher than your bounty, Marco!"
All the Whitebeard Pirates laughed happily again.
"Why don't we try to invite him when we see him?"
"Let's talk about it later!" Looking at the scene of brotherly respect in front of him, Whitebeard also showed a kind smile on his face, "Today's banquet is held for Ace."
Raise the wine bowl in his hand.
"Let's toast to Ace's joining us!"
"Cheers!"
"Cheers, Ace!"
"Dad, even if you are happy today, you can't drink too much!"
After hearing what their father said, the Whitebeard Pirates no longer thought about the East China Sea Overlord. They all raised their glasses and cheered loudly to celebrate their new brother!
As for the East China Sea Overlord...
Wait until we meet, and then invite him!
While the crew were cheering, no one noticed a figure with a thick beard on his chin. After drinking a glass, he quietly found a corner and sat down alone. He grinned with his toothless mouth, looked at the newspaper in his hand, and couldn't help laughing, "It's really interesting! Thief hahahaha!"
Unexpectedly, another monster appeared in the East China Sea!
It seems that he has to find the fruit quickly!
His eyes flickered slightly, and he looked at the arrogant photo in the newspaper, and said meaningfully, "The Overlord of the East China Sea - Hegonlaonman D. Mok!"
...
Also in the New World, on a small island somewhere.
The Red Hair Pirates were also looking at the newspaper.
"Hahaha, I didn't expect that such an interesting pirate would appear in the East China Sea again?!"
"Captain, if you want to laugh, can you put down the wine glass in your hand first?" Beckman, the deputy of the Red Hair Pirates, looked at the laughing captain helplessly, then frowned and looked at the newspaper in his hand, and said, "The Overlord of the East China Sea - Hegonlaonman D. Mok!"
He flicked the ash on his hand, with a solemn tone.
"It is rumored that this guy is the son of Pirate King Roger!"
"Ah? The captain's son?" Hearing Beckman's words, the smile on Red-haired Shanks' face froze, and he looked at the newspaper in confusion, "Hegonlaonman D. Mok? The captain's last name is not Hegonlaonman!"
Blinked, "And this guy doesn't look like the captain!"
"It's just a rumor! I don't know if it's true or not!"
"I also heard a rumor that this East Sea Overlord has been staying in the East Sea to inherit his father's will and restore the glory of the East Sea pirates. This time, he began to conquer the Grand Line because his partners were killed by the Navy Admirals. He was angry and wanted to enter the Grand Line to declare war on the World Government and the Navy!"
"Is this rumor? I have heard of it too. That battle was so fierce that the sky collapsed and the sea was frozen. It was very scary! It was also in that battle that most of the cadres of the Don Quixote family were killed by the Navy Admirals, which led to the final decline of the Don Quixote family and allowed the Navy Admirals to discover the secret of Dressrosa!"
"I also heard a rumor that there was a corrupt navy in the East Sea who liked to play female pirates. Don A female pirate from the Quixote family became the plaything of the fallen colonel!"
"Is it true? How can she play so well?"
"I don't know if it's true? Just like the rumors about the East Sea Overlord, I just heard them!"
"Let's not talk about these, let's talk about the East Sea Overlord! Is he very powerful?"
"I don't know, but he must be very powerful to be able to make the World Government offer a reward of 500 million Baileys and the Joker offer a reward of 1 billion Baileys!"
Just as the Red Hair Pirates were happily chatting about these rumors, a guy wearing a black hat with white fur and carrying a huge machete was also looking at the newspaper. His expression was different from that of the other Red Hair Pirates. His face was quite strange. It seemed that he had something to say, but for some reason he didn't say it.
But Shanks, who was in a daze, still noticed this expression. He turned his head and looked at him, and said cheerfully, "Mihawk, what's wrong with you? Oh, by the way, you said that you went to the East China Sea some time ago. Have you seen the East China Sea Overlord?"
Then.
Mihawk:...
It seems that he doesn't want to answer this question, but under the curious eyes of the Red Hair Pirates, he was silent for a while, but still nodded, opened his mouth expressionlessly, and said, "I have seen it!"
"You really have seen it! From the look of you... Have you fought with him?" Ben Beckman frowned at Mihawk. If it was just a simple meeting, Mihawk would definitely not have this expression. He pondered for a while and said, "How strong is the East China Sea Overlord?"
"...It's... OK!"
But.
When Mihawk opened his mouth with difficulty and spit out these two words.
"Hiss~"
All the crew members of the Red Hair Pirates were shocked, frowned, and looked at Mihawk in disbelief.
"You look like you're more than just okay!"
"Is the East Sea Overlord really that powerful? No wonder there's such a high bounty!"
"Could it be that these rumors are true?"
The crew members who were originally just curious about the rumors suddenly became serious. Even Shanks looked at the photo in the newspaper again. After a while, he frowned and muttered, "Why doesn't he look like the captain at all?"
But after muttering, he seemed to have forgotten the doubts in his mind. He raised his glass again and said happily, "Forget it, don't think too much. Let's ask him when we meet him!"
"Hahaha, he's still the captain!"
"Should we invite him to be our crew member then?"
"He can be recognized by Mihawk and is the son of the former Pirate King. Such an interesting guy must definitely be our crew member!"
"???"
Who recognized this guy?
But before Mihawk, who had a dark face, could say anything, Shanks on the side raised his glass again happily, "Let's toast to the captain's son! Come on, Mihawk, you toast too!"
"..."
Forget it, he didn't plan to say anything!
Although he didn't know what the colonel was thinking, he also promised not to reveal the identity of the East China Sea Overlord!
He also raised his glass and said expressionlessly, "Cheers!"
The son of the Pirate King...
What the hell!
What on earth does that guy want to do?
