Kapitel 221: 220 Things Change
When Edward Weevil was called over, he displayed a hint of joy, eager to showcase his talents at last.
"Weevil, your task is to join him in the battle. Use your strength, but be careful not to cause any serious harm"
Whitebeard patiently instructed Weevil.
"Hehehe, I get it. I'll be careful. Let's get started!"
Edward Weevil laughed happily, locking eyes with Charles Vane.
"This guy's power is seriously scary. Stay cautious, or it'll be over in no time"
Charles Vane warned to himself, feeling the intensity in the gaze and gearing up for a tough battle.
"Alright, let's get this going. Weevil, take your time, don't end this fight too quickly,"
Whitebeard said before walking away.
"Hehehe, hang in there a bit longer to make it enjoyable for me"
Edward Weevil grinned at Charles Vane before swiftly charging forward.
Charles Vane transformed into a whirlwind, and the two sides clashed in battle right away.
In this war, the training for the four individuals is going well, and everyone is putting in a lot of effort.
….
On the other side, after the recent battle, the Marines suffered significant losses.
In the massive wave triggered by Whitebeard, seven of their warships were fully submerged, leading to the loss of several hundred Marine officers.
Certainly, this loss isn't a major setback considering the bold move of attacking two Four Emperors pirate groups simultaneously.
Yet, this incident also etched the terror of Whitebeard deeply into the hearts of all the Marines present. It became evident that when Whitebeard is angered, even the sea trembles!
Upon Garp's return to Marine Headquarters, they initiated a plan to research lethal weapons.
Indeed, the failure of this operation means little to the Marines, as their primary goal has already been accomplished.
The Whitebeard Pirates and Red Hair Pirates have been separated. As long as the Four Emperors' forces remain separate, they pose no threat to the Marines.
Before Whitebeard's resurrection, the Marine headquarters and all top executives, including the Five Elders, shared this perspective.
If the Four Emperors show a tendency to unite, the Five Elders will be concerned.
But after this incident, Garp fully grasped that the Whitebeard Pirate doesn't require an alliance with other Four Emperors'
He, alone, poses a significant threat to the Marine Headquarters and the World Government!
Not just the Whitebeard Pirates; it's Whitebeard himself. There's a fear that he could single-handedly infiltrate Marine Headquarters and sink Marineford.
Even if the Marines manage to overcome Whitebeard eventually, they are still wary that it might come at a huge cost.
This is quite alarming—a substantial potential threat to the Marine Headquarter, even though Whitebeard hasn't exploited it.
Although he possesses the capability, the fact remains that Whitebeard is not using his strength to do that just yet
So, after Momousagi and the others discussed the Whitebeard threat, Akainu quickly detailed the plan to deploy a weapon to deal with this pirate.
It's a weapon crafted specifically for pirates at the level of the Four Emperors, similar to a Pacifista.
While the Pacifista is effective against regular pirates, it's like a mere toy when faced with someone stronger.
The purpose of this pirate weapon is to develop a tool capable of fighting on the Four Emperors.
Undoubtedly, this plan is really difficult, and a key resource needed to complete this weapon is seastone.
Seastone, a magical mineral found in the sea, is considered the crystallization of the sea, making it somewhat equivalent to the sea itself.
Therefore, those with Devil Fruit powers, who fear the sea, also fear the seastone. Once they come into contact with it, they lose their abilities and mobility, becoming completely subdued.
Impel Down prisons utilize seastone handcuffs to restrain criminals who have devil fruit power.
However, seastone is highly valuable, making it a rare and precious mineral.
Even the Marine headquarters can't extract seastone endlessly, but for this plan, a substantial amount of seastone is required.
Therefore, under the authorization of Akainu, the Marine Scientific Research Base sent many researchers to find areas rich in seastone.
…..
During this period, the world enthusiasm for Whitebeard has gradually been dismissed as there have been no significant incidents involving him.
In the New World, events unfold almost every moment. Naturally, this decline in enthusiasm is reflective of Whitebeard himself.
In reality, many people are still quite passionate about discussing Whitebeard. The most prominent among them is Blackbeard.
The Blackbeard Pirates, including Blackbeard and the top members, are all present. Standing before them are two familiar young individuals.
"Zeehahaha, what do you think? Have you made up your mind? In the future, I'll be the one ruling the world."
Blackbeard laughed openly at the two young individuals, leaving no doubt about his ambition to conquer the world.
These two young individuals were none other than Eustass 'Captain' Kid and his first mate, Killer, who had been on the move ever since reaching an agreement with Jozu.
However, Jozu never returned, and instead, they crossed paths with the Blackbeard Pirates.
While these two men were clearly not on par with his top members, being supernovas nonetheless, Blackbeard forcefully recruited them into his crew.
Despite being one of the Four Emperors, Blackbeard doesn't appear happy at the moment. In fact, he seems a bit uneasy.
Because he knew that the man would come seeking revenge.
The terrifying man who once stood atop the world but has now surpassed even that pinnacle—Pirate King Edward Newgate, also known as Whitebeard!
Though Blackbeard is uncertain about when Whitebeard will strike, he is well aware that the day will come sooner or later.
Currently, Blackbeard is well-informed about all the news regarding Whitebeard in the New World. He's aware that this man has grown even stronger than before.
Therefore, Blackbeard is wary and anxious, prompting him to prepare in advance by recruiting manpower and expanding his influence.
Even though Blackbeard had never regarded Kid highly before, Kid's presence has now become something to court, albeit through forceful means.
"Hey, I didn't expect that we wanted to join the Whitebeard Pirates, but we were tied up by the Blackbeard Pirates. It's really dramatic."
Kid said helplessly to Killer in a low voice.
When they joined the Whitebeard Pirates, they were ready to showcase their ambitions, aspiring to follow the current Pirate King. Even as an ordinary commander, it was a highly honorable endeavor.
Similar to Shanks, who started as an intern on Roger's ship, and is now one of the Four Emperors, it's an inspiring trajectory.
Unfortunately, they fell into the hands of the Blackbeard Pirates. Despite Kid's attempts to resist, he found himself powerless against Blackbeard.
