"Question: What title did Blackbeard Teach gain after the Summit War?
Time limit: Two minutes. Timer starts now."
The atmosphere among the Whitebeard Pirates, which had slightly eased due to Shanks' assistance in the critical moment, instantly became tense.
Luo ke didn't provide any options for this question.
However, everyone present, including the viewers watching the live broadcast, knew the answer to this question.
It was an undeniable fact.
After the death of Whitebeard and the heavy casualties suffered by the Whitebeard Pirates, the former Yonko group had lost its previous strength.
Without Whitebeard, they couldn't maintain their position as one of the Four Emperors.
So, it was beyond doubt that this title would be taken by someone else.
Now, upon hearing Luo ke's question, they all knew the result.
Blackbeard Teach, who obtained the Gura Gura no Mi and possessed the powers of both the Yami Yami no Mi and Gura Gura no Mi, had gathered a large number of ruthless pirates under his Blackbeard Pirates. After the Summit War, he would undoubtedly become a new prominent pirate in the New World.
With the death of Whitebeard, Blackbeard, who killed him, would become the most formidable contender for the title of the Four Emperors.
So, the answer was obvious. Blackbeard Teach became the new Yonko.
The members of the Whitebeard Pirates were infuriated by this result. Blackbeard Teach had caused the death of their old man and Ace, and had brought calamity upon the Whitebeard Pirates. Yet, he managed to become one of the Four Emperors in the New World.
It was like stepping on their corpses to achieve his position.
He became the sole winner of the Summit War.
Yes, the only winner.
The Marines at Marine Headquarters were equally enraged.
They could be considered as being trampled upon by Blackbeard Teach as well, but unlike the Whitebeard Pirates, they had suffered their own losses without being completely annihilated.
As the main participants in the Summit War, both the Whitebeard Pirates and the Marines became losers in this war. How could they be happy about it?
It was a disgrace for the Marines.
Without much deliberation, Whitebeard gave the answer to this question.
"Answer: Yonko."
"Correct answer. Indeed, it is the title of Yonko. The Whitebeard Pirates lost their strength after the death of Whitebeard in the Summit War, and coupled with heavy losses during the war, their strength is no longer comparable to the past. They couldn't hold onto their former power and lost the position of Yonko.
On the other hand, the Blackbeard Pirates experienced significant growth after the Summit War, with Teach acquiring tremendous power by obtaining the Gura Gura no Mi and the Dark Dark Fruit. They have now replaced the Whitebeard Pirates as the new Yonko crew in the New World.
Now, for the next question: What is the outcome of the Whitebeard Pirates after the Summit War?
This is a multiple-choice question with four options:
A. Whitebeard, the captain of the Whitebeard Pirates, along with the second division commander Ace and a large number of members, died in battle, and only a remnant managed to successfully retreat.
B. After the Summit War, Marco led the remaining forces of the Whitebeard Pirates to seek revenge against Blackbeard but ultimately suffered a devastating defeat. Following their defeat, the Whitebeard Pirates disbanded and disappeared.
C. As Edward Weevil, one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea, in the guise of Whitebeard's son, sought to claim Whitebeard's legacy, he wiped out all sixteen pirate crews under the Whitebeard Pirates and set his sights on Whitebeard's homeland.
D. Edward Weevil, who inherited Whitebeard's legacy, killed Blackbeard Teach to avenge his father."
Please choose the correct option."
When Luo ke mentioned this question, the members of the Whitebeard Pirates and people from all over the world listened attentively.
This was the final outcome of the Whitebeard Pirates, and they were eager to know what fate awaited the once glorious and powerful Yonko crew after the death of Whitebeard.
When they heard the first option, Whitebeard breathed a sigh of relief.
Fortunately, his death wasn't in vain. The remaining members of the Whitebeard Pirates managed to escape, at least not all of them died at Marine Headquarters.
However, his expression turned grim when he heard the next option.
The Whitebeard Pirates were defeated by Blackbeard and disbanded after their defeat... Did that mean the Whitebeard Pirates vanished?!
This outcome deeply saddened the members of the Whitebeard Pirates. Was their once immensely glorious crew really gone like this?
They didn't want to accept this answer, but their rationality told them that it was highly likely the truth.
Marco would undoubtedly seek revenge against Teach, but by that time, Teach would already possess two Devil Fruit abilities and have the formidable Blackbeard Pirates. The remnants of the Whitebeard Pirates would undoubtedly be no match for them. This outcome was evident.
Realizing this, the members of the Whitebeard Pirates were immensely grateful that their old man was still alive and well, and he had regained his full strength. As long as their old man was around, the Whitebeard Pirates would not reach that point.
However, when they heard the next option, everyone was stunned.
Not only the members of the Whitebeard Pirates, but also the Marines at Marine Headquarters, people from all over the world, and even Whitebeard himself were frozen in disbelief.
Edward Weevil is Whitebeard's son?!
Whitebeard had a son?!
The members of the Whitebeard Pirates looked at Whitebeard in utter astonishment.
"I have a biological son? How come I didn't know about this?"
At that moment, Whitebeard himself was also bewildered. However, when he heard that Edward Weevil had annihilated all sixteen pirate crews under the Whitebeard Pirates and set his sights on Whitebeard's homeland, his face became clouded with gloom.
Who the hell was this Edward Weevil?
He had heard the name before but didn't pay much attention to it.
There were few people in the world with the same last name, and they were all named Edward.
Besides, he had never met this guy before, they were complete strangers.
And now, this guy, under the guise of his son, wanted to inherit his legacy after his death and had destroyed sixteen pirate crews under his banner.
Sixteen!!!
This enormous number made Whitebeard's veins bulge with anger.
Who the hell is this scum that dares to falsely claim to be his son?
Although Whitebeard had been a fatherly figure to many, he only recognized the sons he had accepted.
This sudden appearance of a guy, who not only falsely claimed to be his son but also committed such unforgivable acts, infuriated Whitebeard. What infuriated him even more was that this guy had set his sights on his homeland.
Others might not know, but the members of the Whitebeard Pirates were well aware.
Their old man was actually a very frugal person. Every time he obtained treasure, he would bring the majority back to his homeland and distribute it among the people there. He himself had very little personal wealth.
In Whitebeard's eyes, his homeland held an immeasurable significance.
Edward Weevil dared to lay a hand on his homeland. This had already crossed Whitebeard's bottom line.
Killing the pirate crews under his command and targeting his homeland.
Who the hell was this guy?
"Edward Weevil? I want to see who you really are and how dare you cause trouble under the guise of my son!" Whitebeard roared in anger.
Upon hearing Whitebeard's words, the others finally realized that this person wasn't Whitebeard's biological son but an imposter.
The members of the Whitebeard Pirates also breathed a sigh of relief. They had actually believed for a moment that their old man had suddenly sprouted a son from somewhere.
The Whitebeard Pirates never relied on blood ties; they were bound together as foster children. If their old man had suddenly revealed a biological son, they wouldn't have known how to respond.
However, given the circumstances, this imposter who falsely claimed to be their old man's son, killed their brothers, and targeted their old man's homeland, these sins were unforgivable.
"Old man, this guy must be taught a lesson!"
"That's right! He has ill intentions. Intentionally using the old man's name, he must have long planned to do such things when the old man was no longer around. We must put an end to his schemes."
"We cannot forgive someone who has taken such a heavy toll on our brothers!"
...
Whitebeard nodded in agreement with their anger. Even without their words, he had already planned to deal with this Weevil.
However, they soon heard the fourth option mentioned by Luo ke.
Edward Weevil killed Blackbeard Teach and avenged his father...
Suddenly, everyone present widened their eyes in astonishment, including Teach, who was hanging his head. What the hell?!
Was this a joke? Teach possessed the powers of both the Tremor-Tremor Fruit and the Dark-Dark Fruit. How could he be defeated by a mere Warlord of the Sea?
Blackbeard was filled with disbelief. If it were so easy for him to be defeated, why would he go through so much trouble in the first place?
Wasn't it better to stick with Whitebeard?
Teach lowered his head, awaiting the answer.
Even the higher-ups at Marine Headquarters were stunned by this option.
"That guy named Weevil has that kind of power?" Sengoku asked in astonishment, looking at the others.
However, they were not fully aware of Edward Weevil's true strength.
At that moment, Aokiji spoke up, "He was able to sever Zephyr-sensei's arm, so he must possess some power."
Upon hearing Aokiji's reminder, the others' expressions slightly changed. They remembered what Weevil had done to Zephyr, and he later became one of the Warlord of the Sea...
This was awkward.
As Zephyr learned about Edward Weevil becoming one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea after severing his arm, he couldn't help but feel uncomfortable. The others fell into silence, and even Sengoku remembered this headache-inducing matter. Zephyr knew that this news would definitely have a significant impact on him.
After all the contributions Zephyr had made to the Marines, not considering his feelings at all?
But if Edward Weevil truly possessed such power, it was possible for the World Government to appoint him as a Warlord of the Sea.
This posed a problem. How would Zephyr explain this to himself?
Considering Zephyr's contributions to the Marines, he shouldn't have to deal with such a situation. Unfortunately, he had no say in this matter... Sengoku sighed, hoping that Zephyr wouldn't resort to extreme actions because of it.
The current Zephyr was no longer the same as before. The unyielding Admiral had undergone a drastic change, spending his days hunting down pirates.
Zephyr was already deeply dissatisfied with the system of the Warlords of the Sea. Upon hearing that Edward Weevil, who had once severed his arm and killed his ship full of students, had become one of the Warlords, Sengoku couldn't imagine how Zephyr would react.
Headache... Since Luo ke appeared, Sengoku felt like his head was constantly throbbing. It was troublesome!
...
Meanwhile, in a certain location in the New World, Edward Weevil and his mother, Miss Bakkin, witnessed the scene as well.
Edward Weevil looked at Bakkin foolishly and asked if Whitebeard was his father and mother.
Bakkin's face changed drastically, realizing that they might be in trouble.
...
Whitebeard and Marco considered the fourth option and deemed it unlikely.
Edward Weevil was just a pirate with a bounty of 400 million berries, and he was alone. Blackbeard, on the other hand, had an entire Blackbeard Pirates crew. In terms of both personal strength and the strength of his crew, Weevil couldn't compare to the dual-fruit user, Blackbeard.
Luo keki said it was a multiple-choice question (Li, Ma, Zhao), which meant not all options were correct.
After thinking for a while, they believed that the other three options were the correct answers.
Moreover, neither Whitebeard nor the members of the Whitebeard Pirates could accept a counterfeit person seeking revenge on their behalf.
Whitebeard couldn't accept it, and neither could the members of the Whitebeard Pirates.
They couldn't rely on a counterfeit person to avenge their grudges. It was too humiliating, and from a standpoint of both self-esteem and logical thinking, they couldn't choose that option.
"Answer: Options A, B, and C."
"Correct answer.
One year after the Summit War, Marco led the remnants of the Whitebeard Pirates to battle the Blackbeard Pirates but was defeated. The Whitebeard Pirates completely disintegrated, and their officers disappeared without a trace.
Marco, assuming the role of a doctor, returned to Whitebeard's homeland and guarded it in his place."
Whitebeard looked at Marco with great satisfaction upon hearing this.
"However, during this time, a woman named Miss Bakkin claimed to be Whitebeard's woman and gave birth to his son, Edward Weevil.
After Whitebeard's death, she instructed Weevil to reclaim what should rightfully belong to him as Whitebeard's legacy and in the process, he destroyed sixteen pirate crews under the Whitebeard Pirates.
Later on, he set his sights on Whitebeard's homeland, which was guarded by Marco. That place held Whitebeard's final legacy.
During this process, Weevil did indeed declare that he would kill Blackbeard to avenge his father, but he was unsuccessful."
Miss Bakkin?!
The members of the Whitebeard Pirates were dumbfounded. Not only did a son appear, but even a lover suddenly emerged.
