"If we don't allow Squard and other pirate groups to plunder, then we will really force them to death."
Seeing that Joz was still angry, Marco could only explain.
After learning about the plundering behavior of Squard and other captains, he was also angry. He even found Edward Newgate before Joz, but in the end he was just like Edward Newgate now.
Silence.
"What do you mean?"
Vista and Joz were stunned on the spot when they heard it.
Not plundering civilians means forcing Squard and other captains to death. Isn't this too exaggerated?
Their Whitebeard Pirates, a total of 1,600 people, have never plundered civilians, and they are still living well, right?
"At Dad's command, 43 captains responded to the call without hesitation and decided to follow him to the death."
"But pirates are also human beings. The sailing supplies they brought have been used up."
"They risked their lives to follow Dad. Dad can't let them starve to death on Fordwei Island without food or water, right?"
Malco suppressed his anger and spoke out the difficulties for Edward Newgate.
"Well, you can buy it with money!"
Joz said without hesitation after hearing this.
This is also the tradition of the Whitebeard Pirates.
Never buy for free.
If you need any supplies, you use money or property to purchase from the townspeople and citizens in your territory.
"There is only one Whitebeard Pirates."
At this time.
Jinbei, who had been silent on the side, finally spoke.
"..."
Joz opened his mouth and fell silent.
Yes!
Never buy for free, this is the tradition of the Whitebeard Pirates.
Although the New World is big and there are many pirates, there is still only one Whitebeard Pirates.
If they expect a group of pirate captains who even rely on free purchases to buy supplies, they will not be pirates.
"How about we pay privately to compensate those families who were robbed by Squard?"
Bista had an idea and proposed a solution to the problem.
"Dad was already doing this when Squard robbed for the first time."
"Otherwise, why do you think Squard robbed three times repeatedly, and the townspeople in Fudeweitian Island had no complaints? That's because Dad has been secretly helping him, and the other pirate groups involved in the robbery are also."
"In order to solve the problem of sailing supplies for other pirate groups, Dad has spent all the savings in our ship, and even the money he originally wanted to send back to his hometown has been used up."
Margo shook his head.
"Sorry."
"Dad, it's my fault."
"I don't know your difficulties at all."
Joz's face changed drastically, and he realized Edward Newgate's situation and apologized to him quickly.
"Guhahaha."
"You are not wrong, you did the right thing."
"Dad, I'm proud of you."
Edward Newgate grinned and didn't blame Joz at all. Instead, he was very relieved.
Although his 43 affiliated pirate groups all called him Dad, he also treated those who called him Dad as his sons.
But there is a difference between close and distant.
If the more than 1,600 crew members in the Whitebeard Pirates are his own sons who were raised by him, then the crew members of the affiliated pirate groups are his godsons.
Now, Edward Newgate raised more than 1,600 children from childhood with his own hands, and each of them would rather starve than do zero-dollar shopping.
This certainly made him feel proud.
"Dad, this is not a solution."
"Not counting the more than 1,600 people in our Whitebeard Pirates, the total number of the 43 pirate groups that came to support us is nearly 50,000."
"With such a large number of people, even if we robbed and dug up the entire Fudewei Island, it would be impossible to feed 43 pirate groups."
Vista also realized the seriousness of the matter.
In the past.
The 43 pirate groups were scattered in various seas and islands in the New World.
Even if they bought for free every day, as long as they didn't seize an island or a town to death, the problem of survival could be solved.
But now, nearly 50,000 pirates are crowded together on Fudewei Island. The consumption of living supplies alone is an astronomical figure.
After all, in the pirate world, the stronger the strength, the bigger the appetite.
For meat, you can also dive into the sea and capture sea kings.
But fruits and vegetables and fresh water are not possible.
As Vista said, even if the Fortwei Island was dug up three feet deep, it would not be enough to meet the needs of the 43 pirate groups.Water, vegetables and fruits.
"Or, let Squard and his men go to other islands!"
"Even if we really want to rob, we can't just rob Fudeweitian Island!"
"Isn't the Navy Headquarters now independent and not under the control of the World Government? Then let Squard and his men rob the member states of the World Government. Rob a group of rich and unkind dignitaries, and all problems will be solved."
Joz sat on the deck.
He knew that the problem facing the Whitebeard Pirates was no longer a question of whether to buy zero yuan or not, but if it didn't buy zero yuan, the 43 pirate groups would be finished.
Since they had to rob anyway, they would rob the member states of the World Government, and rob those rich and unkind princes and nobles in the member states.
"No."
"The purpose of summoning the pirate groups under his command is to deal with the navy that may send troops to the New World at any time. What if the pirate groups are dispersed and the navy happens to launch an attack at this time?"
"In the past, if the Navy Headquarters came to the New World, it would take ten days and a half months to reach Fudewei Island, not counting the time required for mobilizing troops, but it is not the case now."
"Rosen can tear the sky and travel to different seas in the world in an instant."
Marco rejected Vista's proposal.
"Then change a place."
"It would be best to be a superpower like Alabasta."
"In that case, let alone 43 pirate groups, even 86 pirate groups can be supported."
"Just like Kaido."
Joz suggested.
Kaido's Beasts Pirates are lying in Wano Country sucking blood, no, sucking the marrow out of bones.
Therefore, the huge Beasts Pirates not only have no worries about food and clothing, but also have countless money, food and weapons.
"Is there such a country in our territory?"
Margo asked instead of answering.
"..."
Both Joz and Vista were stunned.
Yes!
Is there a rich, powerful, and vast country like Alabasta in our territory?
No.
The Whitebeard Pirates have never valued wealth or territory.
In fact, because the crew members used to be homeless and poor, they have always chosen to protect weak countries and people who are often robbed by pirates, persecuted by human traffickers, and bullied by the powerful.
In other words.
The Whitebeard Pirates have a lot of territories and many islands under their control, but there is really no country as vast, rich, and prosperous as Alabasta.
Even.
Not to mention Alabasta, even countries like Wano Country, no, Dressrosa are rare.
Most of them are poor islands like the Sphinx, the hometown of Edward Newgate.
"Even if we're not on Fudewei Island, we'll just move to another island to continue plundering."
"The fundamental problem is still unsolved."
Margo's tone revealed a hint of helplessness.
"What should we do?"
"Are we really going to let Squard and the others continue plundering?"
"If this continues, Fudewei Island will be finished."
Joz slapped the deck:
"And."
"Do we have to maintain this situation for a day until Rosen comes?"
"Wait until Fudewei Island is completely eaten up, then we'll move to another island and continue plundering."
"Wait until all the islands in our territory are emptied out, and then wait to die?"
His voice revealed a hint of anger and frustration.
Whitebeard Pirates.
Obviously the strongest pirate group in the world, and also the most famous and righteous pirate group.
But now, Rosen is still marching to the New World, and the Whitebeard Pirates are already in a lot of problems.
"Dad has contacted Fishman Island."
"His Majesty the King has agreed to help our Whitebeard Pirates solve the problem of supplies."
"The first batch of supplies has been sent out, and it will arrive at Fudeweitian Island in another week. Before that, the townspeople of Fudeweitian Island can only suffer. When the supplies from Fishman Island are delivered, we will compensate them several times."
At this time.
Marco's words made Joz and Vista's eyes light up, and then they turned to look at Jinbei at the same time.
They knew that Jinbei had made a lot of efforts in this matter.
After all, it is not an easy task to feed a pirate group of nearly 50,000 people, especially when supplies are continuously transported from Fishman Island to Fudeweitian Island.
This back and forth, the number of times and the time are long, Fishman Island is also overwhelmed.
"My father is a man of unparalleled kindness and has protected Fishman Island for many years."
"And our Fishman Island is not ungrateful."
"Since I can help my father, both I and Fishman Island will do our utmost to help him.Help."
Facing the gazes from Joz and Vista, Jinbei spoke word by word.
"Thank you."
"Jinbei."
Joz felt relieved.
If it weren't for Jinbei's help, he really wouldn't dare to leave the Moby Dick, let alone set foot on the Fordwei Island.
He simply didn't have the courage and face to face a group of townspeople who, upon learning of the arrival of the Whitebeard Pirates, lined up to welcome him and his men.
"I'm not helping those pirates who can't control their stomachs or their hands and feet and put my dad in an unjust situation."
"I'm just helping my dad."
"You know, he's not just your dad. "
Jinbei's words made Edward Newgate smile, and Joz, Vista, and Marco on the deck all laughed happily.
They all knew Jinbei's character.
If it weren't for Edward Newgate, they would have stopped Captain Squard and others when they first robbed Fordweitian Island.
The reason why he endured and even helped 43 affiliated pirate groups was because Jinbei also regarded Edward Newgate as his father.
Jinbei didn't want to see the Whitebeard Pirates defeated, so he, who was named the Sea Knight, chose to force himself to tolerate Squard. The captain's looting behavior.
He didn't want to see the reputation and righteousness of the world's strongest man being completely ruined by pirates like Squard, so he lobbied Fishman Island with all his strength, donated money, manpower, and ships, and transported supplies to support the Whitebeard Pirates.
All this was to repay Edward Newgate for his free protection of Fishman Island over the years.
Boom
Just as Edward Newgate, Marco, Vista and others were laughing, the sky several kilometers away from Fordwei Sky Island suddenly became like the waves on the sea, rippling with waves visible to the naked eye.
"Hmm? "
The change in the sky immediately attracted the attention of Edward Newgate.
Like Garp and Sengoku, he is still in his prime.
Unlike the later war period, he was old and weak, suffering from illness and receiving intravenous drips every day.
His body was eroded by illness and aging to the point that it was difficult for him to even use his domineering aura.
At this time.
Edward Newgate, who was in his prime, had a Observation Haki that was always in motion, just like the Domination Haki of Red-haired Shanks.
A few seconds before the sky changed, his eyes flashed a red light, and then he sensed it in advance.
"It's finally here!"
"Rosen."
