The scene returns to Dewey throwing Whitebeard to Marco. After nodding slightly to the man who lowered his head to him, he and Nami and the other girls flew towards the direction of the "Flask".
"Boss, let me carry you."
At this time, Nami's "Observation Haki" seemed to have discovered something. She supported Dewey in the air and said with a worried look on her face.
"Ah… excuse me."
Dewey didn't force it. He gave Nami a weak smile, then lay on her delicate back and let Nami fly back with him.
"Boss, why are you doing this!?"
Kalina, who was also lying on Noki's high back, rarely got angry at her beloved boss. She said with tears in her beautiful eyes: "If you continue to drag it out, you will definitely win this "War of Ages". Why are you trying so hard?"
"…I'm sorry for making you worry, Karina."
Looking at Kalina, who was frightened and still had residual fear in her eyes, Dewey fell silent for a few seconds, then apologized to Kalina with guilt.
"Boss, you almost scared us to death!"
At this moment, Nami seemed to recall the scene not long ago, and said in a trembling voice: "Boss, can you promise us that you will not be so willful in the future?"
"Ah…I promise you." Dewey nodded with a smile.
Seeing Dewey so obedient, Kalina and the other girl breathed a sigh of relief. Then Kalina calmed down and took the initiative to change the subject, saying with a smile: "Hehehe… Boss, how do you feel about becoming the new strongest in the world?"
"Nothing."
Dewey shook his head honestly, then smiled as if he had thought of something, "But it feels pretty good to win back."
"Boss, you're not being so willful just to win it back fairly and impartially, are you?" Kalina asked, staring at Dewey.
Since the news bird didn't dare to get close to Dewey and Whitebeard, no one could hear their conversation. So except for Kalina and the other girls who knew Dewey very well, no one knew how much Dewey had let loose in this so-called "War of the Times".
It is no exaggeration to say that if Dewey wanted to, with the combination of his three abilities, he could defeat Whitebeard with absolute advantage by delaying the battle for even one day.
But he didn't. Instead, he willfully consumed a huge amount of his physical strength, condensed an unnecessary fire giant, and fought with Whitebeard to the death.
"I don't want that way of winning."
Dewey said this seriously.
It was because of his admiration and respect that Dewey had the audacity to challenge Whitebeard before he became the overlord; it was also because of his admiration and respect that Dewey was so resentful of that "defeat" that he took "revenge" in a petty way.
If Whitebeard accepted his invitation to the fleet battle, Dewey would definitely not show mercy to his men. Instead, out of appreciation and respect, he would give them a chance for revenge while also doing his utmost to destroy them.
But Whitebeard is still the same as he remembered, a powerful and great man.
Because of its strength, because of its greatness…
So in Dewey's eyes, winning by dragging the opponent to death is an insult to both Whitebeard and himself.
What Dewey wants to defeat is Whitebeard who has given his all and is in full condition.
And Whitebeard did not disappoint him.
Without any worries or fatal injuries to trigger his illness, he can fully unleash his abilities and domineering power. Even though he is now 72 years old, he is still the "strongest man in the world."
Only a super monster like Dewey, who breaks the rules of the sea and breaks the limits of the world, can defeat such a monster.
"Alas… I really don't understand the mutual respect between men." Nami shook her head helplessly and sighed.
"But Whitebeard is in a very bad state right now, and the whole world knows that he is in a coma." Kalina suddenly said with a serious face: "The new world now may have undercurrents. The next "Whitebeard Pirates" may face the biggest challenge in history since the "Top War"."
"Don't worry, it won't be a mess."
Dewey smiled and said, "As long as Whitebeard is alive, the most nosy guy on the sea will not let those people succeed."
"Red hair… Shanks?"
————
New World, one of the islands ruled by the Red Hair Pirates.
"What a great duel. It reminds me of the duel between the captain and Whitebeard in the past days and nights."
In the square, "Red Hair" Shanks looked at the black screen, put down his wine glass, and smiled with a nostalgic look.
"How about it, do you want to take action?"
Ben Beckman next to him slowly lit a cigarette and asked meaningfully.
"certainly."
Shanks stood up, picked up the famous sword "Griffin" beside him, and grinned at his companions who were looking at him, "Guys, let's go!"
"Ohhh…"
As Dewey said, Shanks is definitely the one who least wants the New World to lose balance.
Therefore, in the eyes of some people, he is the most nosy person on the sea.
If it were someone else, or if it was just Shanks alone, those individuals wouldn't be so afraid of him.
It just so happens that "Red Hair" Shanks is not only the youngest of the Four Emperors, but his "fleet" also has almost 100 million strong men per person. His deputy is a super monster with the highest IQ on the sea and strength comparable to that of "Red Hair" Shanks.
In fact, if the "fifth emperor of the sea" were to be chosen, that person would not be the hyped "flying rat" Marshall D. Teach, nor the "god killer" Dewey who had a lot of territory and ruled a sea area, but the extremely low-key Ben Beckman.
The "Red Hair Pirates" are not only a pirate group with an average bounty of over 100 million per person, but also the only pirate group other than Dewey's group that has two of the Four Emperors.
Therefore, with the help of his companions, the domineering "Red Hair" Shanks was as if he had eaten the "Face Fruit", and no one dared not to give him face.
Under his mediation, the new world, which was originally turbulent, began to calm down.
The next day, countless news birds spread the newspapers all over the world.
Just like when the Flame-Flame Fruit was upgraded to level 40 and the world's limit was broken, the system that unlocked new functions finally responded.
"Ding! You have achieved [Hidden Achievement (1/2)] — World's Limit!"
"Ding! You have achieved [Hidden Achievement (2/2)] – The Strongest in the World!"
"Ding! System upgrade begins, countdown: 30 days…"
