Moby Dick's ship was moving smoothly among the waves of the stormy sea as if there was no little storm.
Toward Sphynx Island!
"Oden, it's been several years since you went out to sea. Aren't you planning to return to Wano and officially open it to the world?" Rob asked, sitting with a blonde-haired woman wearing a mask.
Next to them sat Whitebeard, Oden, who was accompanied by his wife, Whitey Bay, to the shocking surprise that Whitey Bay was carrying a small baby between her arms... which Rob discovered to be Oden's son with Whitey Bay.
His name was also Kozuke Momonosuke!
Beside them sat the ninth Akazaya and a member of the Whitebeard Pirates, Izou.
"I have only five more months left, but I have already decided to return closer. At this stage, as Wano Kuni is being repaired and the lost seawater is being restored, I need to personally supervise this. Also, I know that your guild members have been staying there for a long time to protect my country. Maybe it's time to relieve them of this responsibility," Oden replied gratefully.
Whitebeard, who was drinking Sake without much thought, overheard their conversation and asked, "Are you trying to separate one of my precious brother from me, Kozu?"
Rob smiled and replied, "Are you unwilling to let him return to Wano? I still remember when you vehemently refused to board him on your ship. Haha!"
Whitebeard's mood soured after hearing Rob's taunt, and he cracked his knuckles, producing small cracks in the air, "You're definitely looking for a fight with me...!"
"Haha! I have no desire to fight you, Whitebeard; by the way, I've always wondered why you call yourself Whitebeard even though you don't have a beard..."
But when Rob joked about Whitebeard's nickname, the mood on Moby Dick changed.
"No, no, he really said it..."
"Maybe I heard it wrong..."
"Oyaji is still angry because that bastard Teach ran away... this time his anger will definitely explode..."
When the members of the Whitebeard Pirates waited for their father's explosion in a fit of rage, they were surprised by a big change…
An expression of nostalgia appeared on the face of Whitebeard.
He drank the last drops of Sake before he filled another pot ready to drink,
But before that, he started sharing a story about how he got his nickname, "I had a girlfriend in the past, she was fond of my white mustache, she once asked me if I could have a beard will it also be white or blonde since my hair is blonde, I told her even if it's not white it will become so when I get old, I'll become the Whitebeard!"
"... 'The Whitebeard?' She said that with the stars in her eyes,... 'What a beautiful nickname~ '... I also liked that nickname, that's why from that day on I became Whitebeard even if I didn't have a beard..." he said while his expression changed from time to time.
The eyes of the crew members, Rob, and even the masked woman next to him widened due to shock.
"…" Rob then burst out laughing, "HAHAHAHAHA!!!"
"Pufft..." the masked woman next to him let out a light laugh as well.
"Oyaji... you had a girlfriend!?" Marco, Jozu, and the rest were surprised after hearing that.
"What's wrong with that?" When I was a very energetic young man I got a beautiful girlfriend that even my ex-captain was looking forward to her but she didn't give him a glance... she preferred me, Whitebeard! Gurararara!!"
Rob had an idea who this "girlfriend" Newgate was talking about; she was the same woman Rob was turning towards now.
"Does this girlfriend of yours look like my little maid in any way?" Rob asked after he gave the green light to the masked woman next to him to remove her mask.
"Your little maid?" Whitebeard raised his eyebrow attentively and stopped drinking Sake when he turned his gaze towards the woman, who began to slowly remove her mask.
The eyes of Whitebeard widened after the mask fell on Stussy's face.
"Stussy...? She's been dead for 13 years already... she's also supposed to be older... what's going on here!?" shocked Whitebeard.
Seeing his precious woman whom he lost many years ago... no, who was killed by his former captain Rocks D. Xebec come to life again in front of his eyes, Whitebeard was so shocked that his mind became blank.
Marco, Oden, and the others noticed the change in their father's mood with confusion.
"It's not possible..."
...
Elisia Kingdom:
After combing little Cindy's hair and helping her get dressed in her best clothes, asked Mother Elizabeth, "Are you ready to go, Cindry?"
"Yes, Mom, I'm ready. There's no need to be afraid for me. I'll be fine," Cindry replied.
"Neither your father nor I, are afraid. We understand that even if you stand in front of Hogback and Moria, they will not be able to hurt you," relieved Mother Eliza replied.
"My daughter, your older brother's men have arrived to give you a lift. We can't make them wait." At this moment, Father Victor entered the room, with a worried look on his face, urging his little daughter to hurry up with what she was doing.
"I'm ready, Dad. I'm going to go face my fear and overcome it. Then, I'll follow Big Brother, and I'll sing with Brother Skeleton at the world concert! Everything will be fine! Trust me," 13-year-old Cindry stood up, and her face showed a unique determination and bent look for adults only!
…
Two A-rank hunters respectfully stood in front of a luxury car. When Victoria Cindry arrived, one of them opened the car door for her to get in, while the other went to drive.
"Welcome, Miss Cindry. We have orders to fulfill all your requests from now on," said one of the hunters.
Cindry felt embarrassed but soon overcame it. To have two Vice Admiral-level hunters in her service was a great honor, but she didn't know it.
"Let's go to the prison in which the insidious surgeon, Hogback, is being held," Cindry ordered quietly.
"Well, Miss Cindry," the Hunter-driver responded respectfully. In addition to the orders they received from the guild, they knew the identity of this child, in the manga and in reality too.
She was the younger sister of the guild master!
…
Hunters Island:
Central Prison:
The Central Prison is a very huge prison, at least the size of a city, located in the eastern part of the Ring Hell island.
This island once witnessed a heavenly punishment that blew up half of its mass, turning it into a circular shape and completely changing its terrain.
Of course, the one responsible for this was Rob, who destroyed the slavers that day when he saved his current wife, Toki.
Sometime after the main headquarters of the Hunters' Guild was built here, Rob gave orders to build a large prison to imprison pirates, slavers, and troublemakers after they were sentenced in court.
The Judicial Court is also located in Ring Hell.
Today was a relatively important day because it was the day of the trial of the evil surgeon, Dr. Hogback!
…
Inside the prison cell, in the sub-prison of the Judicial Court located in the city of the Central Prison, an annoying scream rang out.
"Get me out of here! I haven't done anything evil yet!"
"Stop, Mr. Hogback. Shouting won't do you any good here."
Suddenly, a man in a business suit entered, holding a working wallet in his hand.
"Huh, and who the hell are you?" shouted Hogback.
"I am the lawyer who was appointed to defend your case, sir," replied the man.
