Crack! Crack! Crack!!!
At the same time, the tavern door opened again.
A few pirates respectfully approached El.
"Lord El, the Whitebeard Pirates outside the island request to see you."
"The Whitebeard Pirates?"
Hearing this name, El was slightly taken aback.
Thinking back, it had been a long time since the Battle of God Valley ended.
During this period, the Whitebeard Pirates had quickly risen to become one of the most famous pirate crews in the New World.
In fact, across the entire New World, the fame of the Whitebeard Pirates was almost second only to the Roger Pirates!
"White... Whitebeard Pirates? That's the strongest pirate crew in the New World after the Roger Pirates, and their captain Edward Newgate is also a man with a bounty of up to 4.8 billion Berries!"
"Lord El, do you actually know such a man?!"
"Idiot, Lord El was once on the same ship as Edward Newgate, how could he not recognize him!"
Many pirates inside the tavern were stunned upon hearing that the Whitebeard Pirates wanted to see El.
Although, all the pirates in the tavern were well-known in the New World, with bounties reaching hundreds of millions of Berries!
But... the reputation of the Whitebeard Pirates was world-shaking!
Even they, who rarely got the chance to see such a pirate crew in their daily lives!
"Whitebeard Pirates, what business do you have with me?" El asked after a few seconds of silence.
He didn't believe that, with Whitebeard's smooth sailing in the New World, he would send a delegation to find him.
"This... I'm not exactly sure, Lord El. As soon as they appeared, we rushed here to notify you." The pirate shook his head slightly.
"Is that so? Then let them come in," El nodded.
Although he didn't know exactly why Whitebeard was looking for him, El still thought it was worth meeting him, after all, in the entire New World,
The person with the closest relationship to El was Whitebeard.
"Understood, Lord El!"
After these few pirates left this message, they directly exited the tavern.
Moments later.
Crack! Crack! Crack!!!
With the tavern door opening again, a tall, muscular man with a bare chest and a belly, exuding a kingly aura, appeared at the entrance.
He was no one else but Whitebeard, the strongest man of the New World in the original story!
"Is... is that him, Edward Newgate?!"
"I never thought I would see another legendary pirate besides Lord El on this sea!"
"Indeed, following Lord El was definitely the right choice!"
"Yeah, following Lord El, although the rewards... are a bit less, at least we get to see more, and our reputation in the sea will be even greater—no one dares to provoke us!"
The moment Whitebeard entered the tavern, he immediately drew the attention of all the pirates inside!
After all, Whitebeard, like El, was a legendary figure in the New World!!!
The moment Whitebeard saw El sitting at the front, drinking, he immediately burst out laughing.
"Gu la la la... long time no see, El!"
"It's been a long time, Edward." El turned around with a slight smile.
It had been quite a while since their last meeting.
Now, Whitebeard had also changed a lot.
Besides his appearance, his aura was vastly different.
The kingly aura emanating from Whitebeard was so powerful that even El could feel a considerable threat.
El waved his hand slightly, signaling the people inside the tavern to leave.
The pirates in the tavern, seeing El's gesture, quickly left.
Now, only Whitebeard's crew and El remained.
"Old... Dad, is he the man you often mention, El?"
Behind Whitebeard, a handsome young man with blond hair like yellow flowers, wearing a purple shirt, looked at El and asked.
He was Marco, captain of the first division of the Whitebeard Pirates!
Marco had joined Whitebeard's crew relatively recently.
But he often heard Whitebeard mention El's name on the ship.
Although.
Whitebeard, because of the Gura Gura no Mi, was defined by the Navy as possessing the power to destroy the world.
But Whitebeard was extremely disdainful of this title, and had mentioned it many times on the ship.
The one who truly possessed the power to destroy the world should be El!
"This guy, looks just like an ordinary person. He doesn't seem as strong as your words, Dad."
On Whitebeard's other side, Jozu stuck his head out and looked at El.
Because El wasn't showing any aura at this moment, to outsiders, he just appeared to be an ordinary man.
Hearing Jozu's rude comment, Whitebeard's brow furrowed slightly, and he knocked on Jozu's head.
Then he looked at El seriously.
"El, Jozu is just a kid. I hope you don't mind."
"Of course, how could I bother with a kid." El spread his hands and smiled.
Although he said this, being underestimated made El decide to teach Jozu a lesson.
El slightly displayed a bit of Conqueror's Haki, pressing down on Jozu.
Although it was only a little, this force was still too terrifying for the current Jozu.
Suddenly, Jozu's face turned pale, a dense layer of cold sweat appeared on his forehead, his body hairs stood on end, and in the next second, his eyes rolled white and he fainted.
Marco saw Jozu faint, quickly helped him up, and asked worriedly.
"Jozu?"
Seeing this scene, several pirates under Whitebeard's command, each with bounties over a billion Berries, gasped in shock.
"Such terrifying Haki!"
"This guy... truly as Dad said, a monster!"
"Rumor has it that back in the ancient God Valley War, El, this monster, single-handedly defeated the Navy's top Vice Admiral Zephyr, and then also defeated the Navy's top Admiral Kong!"
"Since the end of the God Valley War, El has been crowned the strongest pirate by the World Government. Now it seems, that's no exaggeration!"
El's mastery of Conqueror's Haki was already superb.
The Haki he just displayed only covered Jozu.
Weak pirates couldn't feel the Haki El released.
Only pirates with bounties over a billion Berries and Whitebeard himself could clearly understand how astonishing El's Haki was!!!
"Gu la la la... El, you just showed up, and already gave us a big shock." Whitebeard laughed loudly after witnessing this.
Whitebeard wasn't angry about El knocking Jozu out with Conqueror's Haki.
After all, Jozu was the one who was rude first.
In Whitebeard's view, this also served as a lesson for Jozu.
If Jozu had spoken rudely on the ship, Whitebeard wouldn't blame him too much.
But outside, if you still behave impolitely, even Whitebeard wouldn't be able to protect you.
"Well, that was a bit over the top." El shrugged and said somewhat helplessly.
Honestly, he didn't expect that.
The future captain of Whitebeard's Third Division, Jozu, would be so weak now.
He knew that he had suppressed his Conqueror's Haki to the lowest level.
He only wanted to intimidate Jozu, but he didn't expect to knock him out directly!
"Old... Dad, what's wrong with Jozu?" Marco looked with tears in his eyes, trying to hold back his tears and asked.
"Don't worry, Marco. He just fainted from the shock, it's nothing serious." Whitebeard slightly bowed, patted Marco's shoulder, and said.
Standing beside Whitebeard was a pirate with a bounty of over one billion Berries.
He ordered a crew member, "Take Jozu back to the ship first."
"Yes." The crew member accepted the order and then took Jozu back to the ship.
