"Gulala… I didn't expect that after being locked up for so many years, your domineering aura not only didn't disappear, but it even became more presentable."
Looking at Barrett who was releasing his domineering aura unscrupulously, Whitebeard was not angry this time, but couldn't help laughing.
Unlike ghost energy, "Haoshoku Haki" is the most representative thing of a hegemon.
In front of Whitebeard, the overlord of the sea who is completely different from Kaido and Charlotte Linlin, but more similar to "Red Hair" Shanks and "Pirate King" Roger, Barrett's evil spirit that has killed countless people will not only not be appreciated by the other party, but will make Whitebeard feel disgusted.
But "Haoshoku Haki" is different.
Seeing that Barrett's "Conqueror's Haki" did not disappear because of being imprisoned in "Impulse City" for many years, but became even more powerful, even though it was mixed with the ghostly aura like Shura, it still won the appreciation of Whitebeard.
At this moment, Whitebeard seemed to see the reflection of "Red Hair" Shanks in Barrett, and couldn't help but say with nostalgia: "One is you, and the other is that brat Shanks. Unknowingly, the two brats on Roger's ship have become powerful."
Perhaps it was because he saw his juniors catching up with him again that the image of his old rival reappeared in Whitebeard's mind.
With the deaths of Roger and Shiki, as well as Reid who had just seen the light of day again last year but had disappeared without a trace, and Sengoku and Garp… before they knew it, only these few old guys were left from the old era.
Am I… really old?
Thinking of this, Whitebeard opened the visiting card in his hand and glanced at the card which Dewey read as "visiting card" and wrote as "challenge letter".
Suddenly, Whitebeard threw away the visiting card, pulled back the corners of his mouth, revealing a smile as big as a flag, and said to Barrett in a domineering manner: "Over the past few decades, countless guys have challenged me, and many of them have left scars on me, but there has never been a guy who dares to declare war on my entire pirate group with a team of just a few people! Go back and tell that brat that I don't need his pity, just kill me if you have the ability… I accept his challenge!"
After saying this, an unparalleled domineering aura suddenly engulfed Barrett and Zoro like a tsunami.
Zoro felt the pressure of the "strongest man in the world" for the first time. Even though he was proficient in domineering and ghostly energy and had an extremely firm will, he couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat. He looked in horror at Whitebeard, who was sitting on the throne. His 6.6-meter body was as tall as a mountain. He finally experienced what it felt like to be suffocated.
Barrett ignored the terrifying pressure and looked at Whitebeard, who was no less powerful than he remembered when he was at his strongest. He couldn't help but grin, "You're still as good as ever, Whitebeard!"
"snort."
The pressure was only fleeting. Whitebeard took a sip from the wine flask beside him and asked, "Tell me, what time and where?"
"You'll find out when you read the newspaper."
Barrett replied, then turned and walked towards Zoro, saying, "Zoro, let's go!"
After they left, Marco picked up the visiting card and read it. He then said unhappily, "Aren't Dewey and the others too contemptuous of us?"
"What does it say?"
Ace, who was taught a lesson by Barrett, was not discouraged at all. He walked to Marco's side, read the contents of the visiting card, and immediately said angrily: "That guy actually intends to challenge our entire "Whitebeard Pirates" and all "affiliated pirate groups"? !"
"What?!"
"Isn't that brat too arrogant?!"
"Even the Beasts Pirates are no match for us. How dare a guy who only dares to play tricks behind the scenes challenge all of us, the Whitebeard Pirates?"
"..."
After hearing Ace's words, the crew members who had not fainted or had already woken up shouted angrily.
Marco quickly regained his composure and asked Whitebeard, "Dad, do you think this guy is planning something again?"
"Gulala… Marco, don't think too much about that brat."
Whitebeard laughed first, then said: "Remember what that brat said to me before he left? He is only here to fulfill his promise."
"Promise?"
Marco was slightly stunned, then he seemed to remember something, and couldn't help but widen his eyes and asked, "Is it the declaration of 'I won't lose again next time'?"
"Gulala…that's right."
Whitebeard nodded and smiled playfully, "Although that brat plotted against us, he is actually a very proud person! Throughout his debut, he has never suffered any defeat, but he suffered a loss at my hands. Although this 'loss' was probably intentional and the result of his calculations! But we must admit that he did lose to me, so now he wants to get back at me. In the final analysis… he is just a stingy guy."
"Get your place back?"
After hearing Whitebeard's words, Marco's face became even more incredible: "Could it be that the reason he helped us in the "Marine War" was for this?"
"Ah… that's why I told you not to think of him as so complicated." White Beard smiled and nodded.
In fact, it was only after he thought of this last year that he no longer had any hatred towards Dewey.
Although no one knows what happened between Teach and them, that kid definitely didn't plot against them on purpose.
Of course, saving Teach was also his choice as a father.
No matter what his son did wrong, he is responsible as a parent.
Moreover, Whitebeard was very pleased with Teach's subsequent performance.
So Whitebeard never blamed Teach, nor did he ask Teach and Dewey what happened to them.
Let's get back to the topic.
"Bulu Bulu, Bulu Bulu…"
Just after Barrett and Zoro handed the visiting card to Whitebeard, Morgans suddenly received a call at the headquarters of the "World Economic News" which had recently moved to an uninhabited island in the New World.
"Mexixixi…what!? Joker, is what you said true?"
"咈咈咈咈… Of course, there's no need for me to lie to you, right?"
"If it is true, it will definitely be big news that will shock the world!"
"咈咈咈咈... That's right, are you willing to be the host?"
"Please be sure to give me the task of commentary! However, you actually teamed up with the "Golden Emperor" without telling me, and even asked me to be the host. Are you trying to take advantage of this opportunity to make a fortune?"
"That's right, so the warm-up work is left to you. The expenses of the World Economic Daily for the next week will be borne by me and Tezulo."
"No problem, I will definitely write this news myself."
"Very good, I'll fax you the photos."
"..."
I don't know what Doflamingo and Morgans are talking about.
However, the employees of the World Economic News found that their boss had received some unknown phone call and suddenly tore up the manuscript prepared for the next day. He even announced that there was no need to collect materials for the next week and he would write all the news.
In the early morning of the next day, countless news birds flew to all parts of the world with the first batch of freshly printed newspapers.
In addition, newspaper offices around the world received notices from the "industry overlord" and rushed to copy and fax newspapers to supply them to the news birds that had distributed the newspapers.
The long-lost white rain appeared again on the sea after a year.
Looking at the "World Economic News" being distributed for free and in astonishing numbers regardless of whether it is in a bustling city or on an uninhabited island, it goes without saying that people in the world know that something big must have happened.
As expected!
When they picked up the newspaper and looked at the headline of a single piece of news, their pupils suddenly shrank and their faces showed horror.
The headline of the newspaper read: "A visiting card or a challenge? A battle between the representatives of the old and new eras is about to break out!"
The cover of the headline clearly showed bounty warrants for two people, Dewey on the left and Whitebeard on the right.
"God Slayer" Dewey, bounty: 3.546 billion Baileys; "Whitebeard" Edward Newgate, bounty: 5.046 billion Baileys.
[Morgans: By the way, not only are the numbers of the bounties the same, but there is one more thing: Dewey, 20 years old, birthday April 6; Edward Newgate, 72 years old, birthday… April 6! ]
It has to be said that Morgans is worthy of being the world's number one paparazzi. After sorting out some small data that ordinary people would not notice, he wrote an eye-catching headline, successfully warming up this upcoming "War of the Times".
Let's put the world's discussion aside for now.
In the next few days, Morgans continued to distribute newspapers for free, with headlines one after another, eventually revealing his purpose.
"The content of the visiting card is about a man who threatens to challenge all members of the "Whitebeard Pirates"! "
"The Domineering Response of the World's Strongest Man! "
"It has been confirmed that "Devil's Heir" Douglas Barrett has joined the Dewey Fleet! "
"It has been confirmed that the location of the "War of Time" is the large desert island in the New World – the "Loyanyu Desert""
"The World Economic News will join hands with Gulan Tezulo to broadcast this "Battle of the Times" live around the world. "
"
