Pirate: Eternal

159 The Death of Whitebeard

Vlad and his gang left, but the gears of time, whether in the past or the future, did not stop turning...

That year, Vegapunk, who was studying the 'System', had a sudden realization. When he returned to his hometown of Balkimoa, the future kingdom, to search for information, he was forced to go there by the World Government.

That year, Gol D. Roger discovered that he was not going to die soon. He wanted to find the "Birdman" doctor who had the power to bring people back to life in the Valley of the Gods. However, after traveling around the world, he only found a doctor with bird feathers on his head. of Crocas.

Fortunately, Crocas's medical skills are very good...

That year, Gol D. Roger completed the feat of arriving at Lovedru, and was hailed as the Pirate King by the world. He was "captured" by the navy shortly after, and started the era of great pirates on the execution platform.

That year, the Kingdom of Eden, which had begun to take shape, paid heavenly gold to the World Government and became a member of the World Government under the protection of the navy.

That year, a certain handsome boy came to this world through the rainbow mist, battled wits and courage with pirates and slave traders, and spoke like a lotus in front of the nobles. After many twists and turns, he finally came to the Kingdom of Eden and was regarded as the revelation of the apocalypse.

That year, Vegapunk, who was doing research in a secret base somewhere in the World Government, smiled when he saw a certain face appearing as the background of a newspaper titled 'Fallen Navy'.

"It seems like only yesterday that we parted ways with you. It's so good to see you again, mate!"

------

The gears of time continue to turn...

When the Straw Hats passed through the Chambord Islands, they rescued the octopus-man Hachi and the mermaid Kemi, who had been reduced to slaves and were covered with bruises, and shook their fists at the Celestial Dragons.

It was still the appearance of General Kizaru that made them feel the gap with the world's top combat power. Bartholomew Xiong saved the field and flew this group of people to various places suitable for them to practice.

Their fate seemed to have been arranged long ago.

Soon after, a battle broke out between Blackbeard, who became a rear admiral, and Ace in the town of Demon Valley, in the first half of the Grand Line, which ended with Ace being seriously injured and escaping.

With this achievement, Blackbeard was promoted to Vice Admiral, and he was getting closer and closer to contacting Vegapunk.

After that, Vlad and his gang still didn't show up until two years later...

'Shock!The World's Strongest Man, Edward Newgate Whitebeard, dies! '

A newspaper published by the World Economy Agency swept the entire world, which also included photos of various division captains holding funerals for Whitebeard.

Just as people around the world were seeking to verify the authenticity of this report, two more reports swept the world one day later.

'The Four Emperors, red-haired Shanks, attended Whitebeard's funeral! '

'The legendary pirate, Flying Admiral Golden Lion, appeared at Whitebeard's funeral, and a conflict broke out with his remnants! '

The wings that Vlad once flapped in this world caused a great storm in this world. Everything has changed, but it seems that it has not changed.

Whitebeard, who was supposed to die in the war, died of a critical illness on the Moby Dick ship in the New World two years later.

The Golden Lion, who should have been defeated by the Straw Hat Pirates long ago, now appears at Whitebeard's funeral, and a fight breaks out because he wants to conquer his remnants.

"Shiji, give me some face and let them finish the funeral."

Shanks stood in front of the golden lion with his sword in hand, his invisible domineering aura making the grass rustle, and his cold and stern eyes showed no emotion.

"Boy, don't be so excited. How about you join me?"

The golden lion, with the rudder on his head and age spots on his face, smiled and extended his hand to Shanks in invitation.

"I have mastered the power that can destroy the world. As long as you can assist me, the world is ours!"

However, before Shanks could say anything...

hum-

Overlord-colored dominance burst out from the white-bearded remnants behind Shanks, and Eustace Kidd, who also had red hair, stepped forward to confront the golden lion.

"Go away, old man, I don't want to kill anyone today!"

The smile on the golden lion's face froze, his eyes narrowed, looking at Kidd with murderous intent.

“Are today’s young people so ignorant of the importance of the sky and the earth?”

He felt that he was so embarrassed that this kid, whom he had never even heard of, dared to yell at him.

"court death!"

Kidd had no intention of talking nonsense with the Golden Lion. He originally planned to kill the old pirate to establish his power and take over as the new captain of the Whitebeard Pirates.

If the Golden Lion is really drunk, he will have a headache.

Grant·Magnetic Collision-

Kidd stretched out his hand towards the golden lion, and activated the magnetic fruit ability, giving the golden lion its own property of attracting metals.

Hiss-

Just when the golden lion was waiting for what tricks the little-known boy in front of him could come up with, a flash of lightning flashed under his feet, and a heart-breaking pain suddenly came, tying up 'Ying Ju', 'Mu Ku' and their broken legs. The interface is already dripping with blood.

"Devil Fruit Ability?"

The golden lion bared his teeth. The pain was nothing to him, but the other party's strange ability made him raise his eyebrows.

He clearly felt that the two swords under his feet seemed to have a consciousness of their own, and the hilts of the swords were digging into his bones. If it were not reinforced with armed domineering force, the tibia would have been crushed.

chop-

The golden lion flew up into the air, raising its legs to launch a flying slash.

Magnetic·Yu-

In response, Kidd smiled disdainfully, used magnetism to control the two swords at the feet of the golden lion, and forcefully tore off its flying figure.

The kicking and chopping action was forcibly interrupted. The golden lion immediately understood that the red-haired child's Devil Fruit ability could control his weapons, and he immediately bent down and pulled out the swords from his feet.

As soon as the sword hilt left the tibia, blood spurted out like a fountain, and the golden lion's face turned pale to the naked eye.

He was old, and his heart, lungs, and hematopoiesis abilities were not as good as before, but he couldn't draw out his swords and was controlled by others, so he had no choice but to do so.

"Golden Lion, you are old and it's time to withdraw from the stage of history!"

Seeing this, Kidd had no idea of ​​respecting the old and caring for the young. He laughed ferociously, activated his ability to absorb the surrounding metal, made steel armor on his body, and rushed towards the golden lion.

......

This battle lasted only half an hour and ended abruptly, with the Golden Lion defeated.

If he is fully prepared, the Golden Lion can defeat ten Kidds. Unfortunately, he loses the opportunity as soon as he gets old and frail. If he continues to fight, he may really stay here forever.

The golden lion still looks at the world with the eyes of the past, but forgets that he is old...

This battle allowed Kidd to establish prestige among the Whitebeard remnants. A small number of them began to support him as the next captain of the pirate group, while the other half supported Ace and Marco respectively.
