Bab 183: 182 Buckingham Stussy
"Oyaji? Is it really you, Oyaji!"
As Squard confronted the familiar figure, he shouted in excitement, and the rest of the crew members displayed incredible expressions.
They had never anticipated the day they would see Whitebeard again.
"Why, aren't you supposed to be dead?"
Miss Buckingham Stussy, or Miss Bakkin as she's known now, was left speechless in astonishment.
"Mother, what the hell is going on?"
'Whitebeard II' Edward Weevil looked dumbfounded.
"My dear son, don't worry, your real Oyaji has been killed in the Summit War. That guy must be a fake!"
Miss Bakkin clenched her teeth and stated firmly, though she harbored some doubts.
"Squard, this, this, is he really the old man?"
Whitebay whispered to Squard, and the other crew members were filled with doubts, wondering if he had returned from the dead. How is this even possible?
"He looks exactly like Oyaji, the naginata is also the same, and that conqueror haki aura... but back then, we all witnessed the old man's demise with our own eyes. I... I just don't know"
Squard had his doubts. Although he was excited to see Whitebeard again for the first time, he couldn't figure out how Whitebeard had come back to life.
"In case this old man is fake, then we still call him Oyaji, isn't that sorry for the real Oyaji?"
Whitebay had a peculiar way of thinking
Squard found this viewpoint reasonable. He set aside his excitement and contemplated the situation. Indeed, they couldn't jump to any conclusions just yet.
After Whitebeard's death, many individuals came forward claiming had a relation to Whitebeard, such as Edward Weevil in front of him, who claimed to be Whitebeard's own son.
If someone can impersonate Whitebeard's son, it's also possible for someone to impersonate Whitebeard himself.
"Let's just watch for now"
Squard decided to take a cautious approach, unsure if this Whitebeard was real or fake. To be honest, he had his doubts, whether it was true or not.
Because at the summit war, they saw Whitebeard die with their own eyes, it is impossible to fake it!
"Well, I can see the surprise on all your faces. You don't believe it, do you? This is truly unbelievable for you"
"But as my sons, I hope you can arrive at a clear judgment as soon as you can"
Whitebeard said faintly, although he was speaking to Squard and Whitebay crew members, his eyes were always on Miss Bakkin when he spoke.
Whitebeard had known this former crew member for a long time, but he harbored a strong dislike for her.
"Bakkin, you have to pay a price for doing something wrong!"
Whitebeard's tone grew somber, and the haki emanating from him surged like a fierce tidal wave.
Squard and the rest were immediately overwhelmed by this formidable force, causing them to take several steps back.
"It's Conqueror's Haki!"
Squard's eyes revealed a hint of surprise.
In the next moment, a tremendous force struck Miss Bakkin's body with great impact. She had no time to evade and took the blow head-on, sending her flying.
"Mama!"
Edward Weevil shouted and charged forward, wielding a naginata similar to Whitebeard's.
Weevil had great trust in Miss Bakkin's words. If she claimed this Whitebeard was a fake, he believed it without hesitation.
Therefore, Weevil attacked without any reservations.
"Sons, step back!"
Whitebeard's gaze remained steady as he waved his hand, and a powerful force sent Edward Weevil flying.
"He suppressed him easily."
Squard and Whitebeard looked at each other, and at the same time saw a hint of surprise in each other's eyes.
They had previously battled against Edward Weevil.
Even if both pirate groups joined forces, they still couldn't match Edward Weevil's power, yet the Whitebeard before them, unsure of his authenticity, easily subjugated him.
Then Whitebeard walked towards Miss Bakkin with heavy steps, a trace of killing intent leaked in his eyes.
"Are you truly Whitebeard?"
Miss Bakkin inquired with suspicion and fear.
At this moment, she had no choice but to believe that this was indeed the power of Whitebeard.
Furthermore, it was the power of Whitebeard at his prime, in his youth!
"Bakkin, your end is here. I warned you previously. I never thought you'd still attempt to deceive using my name. That child has been living under your deceit, hasn't he?"
Whitebeard's eyes exuded intense pressure, and their sharpness was so intimidating that Miss Bakkin couldn't bring herself to meet his gaze.
"Whitebeard, I just want to help you manage your subordinates. I don't want the Whitebeard Pirate you created to lose its glory!"
Miss Bakkin suddenly screamed.
Miss Bakin realized that she was no match for Whitebeard, and she had no means to resist him. So, her only option was to figure out how to save her life.
"Humph, you're still spouting nonsense even when facing death!"
Whitebeard let out a cold snort. Deception like this might work on a three-year-old child, but is she out of her mind? She's treating everyone as if they have Edward Weevil level of naivety.
"Whitebeard, considering our history, please forgive me. I swear I won't do it again"
Miss Bakkin pleaded with Whitebeard, her demeanor markedly humble.
"Don't hurt my mother!"
Edward Weevil charged forward once more, wielding his massive naginata , and brought it down on Whitebeard from above with immense force.
Just as it was about to land, the formidable slash was intercepted by the shockwave created by Whitebeard's space-quaking power. The resulting impact sent a massive wave rippling through the nearby sea.
"Bakkin, this kid has great strength. It's a shame he's under your influence. He has so much potential"
Whitebeard recognized the incredible potential in Edward Weevil, and his power was certainly qualified to be his son!
"Good son, save me!"
Disregarding Whitebeard's words, MISS Barkin cried out loudly, further fueling the resolve of Edward Weevil, causing his power to surge even more.
Yet, this also incited Whitebeard's fury. He raised his naginata and stabbed, driving the blade through Miss Bakkin's body.
"Bakkin, carry your regret with you to another world."
Whitebeard's eyes were very cold at this moment.
Miss Bakkin's eyes brimmed with resentment before her death, but it also brought a sense of relief to Squard and the others. This old woman proved to be even more irritating than Edward Weevil, who had launched direct attacks on them!
"Good kill!"
Squard couldn't help but exclaim.
At this moment, Weevil's body began to swell, his veins bulging, and Squard could see noticeable transformations occurring in Edward Weevil's physique.
Fueled by his rage, Weevil's muscles swelled, his veins pulsed violently, and the energy surging from his body caused the entire ship to rock incessantly.
"Mother."
Seeing Miss Bakkin's death, Edward Weevil's anger reached its peak.
