Who made him the Pirate King?

Golden Island.

A short, ugly old woman, only a little over half a meter tall, was walking and scorning the world.

"Damn Whitebeard!"

"Damn Whitebeard II!"

"Damn the World Government and the Navy Headquarters!"

In this sea, there is a secret rumor spreading faintly.

A person's experience and past will have a very serious impact on his appearance in old age.

The more evil the person is and the more he likes to play tricks, the closer his appearance will be to the limit of human ugliness in old age.

How true this secret is, no one can be sure.

But there are indeed a large number of ugly-looking old people living in this sea.

Especially - "old woman".

This sea can't be said to be full of the evil intentions towards the "old woman", it can only be said to be full to the point of overflowing!

Just like this cursing, short and ugly old woman walking on the Golden Island at this time.

If she didn't introduce herself, who would believe that she was once a beautiful female pirate of the Rocks Pirates - Buckingham Stussy?

But even if he introduced himself, not many people would believe that this wrinkled, sarcastic old woman was Buckingham Stussy.

How good-looking was Buckingham Stussy when he was young?

Put it this way.

A clone of Buckingham Stussy's genes and appearance is the current Queen of Happy Street in the dark world.

in short.

The most beautiful courtesan on the sea!

"Mother……"

Next to Buckingham Stussy followed a tall, fat man with a crescent-shaped white beard growing on his face.

Edward Weibull!

"Why are you scolding me...Mom..."

Edward Weibull looks tall, but his real intelligence level is about the same as that of a child, or even less than that of most children.

"Weible! My silly son!"

Buckingham Stussy turned his head and glanced at Webble with an ironclad look.

"I'm not scolding you, I'm scolding your father!

"And that 'Whitebeard II' popped out of nowhere!"

Buckingham Stussy was filled with rage whenever he spoke of these two men.

Back then, Buckingham Stussy was also a member of the Rocks Pirates and had a very close relationship with the white-bearded Edward Newgate in his prime.

It was precisely because of this special relationship that Buckingham Stussy obtained Edward Newgate's genetic data.

The third year after the Rocks Pirates fell apart.

Edward Weibull was born.

I don’t know why, maybe he is afraid of the reputation of the strongest man in the world.

Over the past few years, Buckingham Stussy has been hiding with Edward Weeble, never appearing in front of the world on his own initiative.

About three years ago.

Buckingham Stussy and Edward Weeble, mother and son, who were drifting on the sea, encountered a battleship belonging to the Navy's elite recruit training camp at that time, and had a fierce conflict with that group of sailors.

Under the powerful power of Edward Weibull, the boot camp led by Zefa was defeated.

The entire army in the boot camp was nearly wiped out, and Zefa himself had an arm cut off by Edward Weibull.

Buckingham Stussy thought that incident would expose her and Weibull's existence.

But for some unknown reason, the Navy Headquarters and the World Government did not publicly publicize the attack...

Buckingham Stussy's "hiding plan" was able to continue.

If nothing unexpected happens.

Buckingham Stusy would remain in hiding for several more years.

Until Whitebeard's death was confirmed.

Only Buckingham Stussy would take her "silly son" into the sea.

But now...

Everything was ruined by that inexplicable "Whitebeard II"!

All the time.

Even Buckingham Stussy thought her Weeble was "Whitebeard II".

The result was not long ago.

The World Government has inexplicably issued a bounty for Edward Teach.

The white beard named "Edward Teach" is more handsome, taller and more handsome than her Weibull, and more like the white beard in his youth...

And after the reward order for "Whitebeard II" appeared.

The Navy Headquarters inexplicably issued a reward for Edward Weibull.

Although it was just a rather rough hand-drawn reward order.

The level of abstraction in the bounty photo is enough to make everyone who sees the bounty order doubt the true intentions of the Navy Headquarters.

But Buckingham Stussy would have no doubts!

Even though the subsequent reward order issued by the Navy Headquarters was very illegible.

But the name "Edward Weeble" was clearly marked on it!

It also captures Edward Weeble's personal characteristics - a fat version of a young white-bearded man.

Buckingham Stussy was certain.

The Navy Headquarters, which had had conflicts with the mother and son, was really offering a reward to find Edward Weeble!

This time.

Buckingham Stusy's hiding plan went bankrupt.

She was short and moved in an unobtrusive manner.

But not Edward Weibull.

Such a big guy, and that iconic crescent-shaped white beard.

Edward Weeble, standing in the crowd, is like a firefly standing in the dark, extremely conspicuous.

So in order to avoid the eyes and ears of the World Government and the Navy Headquarters.

Buckingham Stussy took Edward Weeble away from the island where they were hiding, and came directly to the world's recognized "weakest sea" - the East China Sea!

In this "weakest sea", even if Edward Weeble's whereabouts were discovered by the Navy Branch or the World Government, she could let Weeble quickly kill and silence him, and then escape.

In short.

Buckingham Stussy is still firmly implementing her "hiding plan"!

As for the reason why she appeared on the Golden Island...

It was because she accidentally heard the legend of treasure on the Golden Island...

So she wanted to come and try her luck.

As a pirate, and an old woman pirate.

The greed for gold and treasure has been engraved in Buckingham Stussy's genes.

But.

Buckingham Stussy took Weeble around the Golden Island for a few days, but did not find any trace of treasure.

She decided to search for a few more days on the island.

If she really couldn't find it...

Then let Weeble directly rob all the property of the civilians on the island! Then kill them to silence them!

"Baby, my baby, where are you..."

"Mom, I'm here!"

"I'm not calling you! Silly son!"

...

Just as Buckingham Stussy took Edward Weeble around the Golden Island.

The Baroque Gustav of the Sand Crocodile was slowly heading towards the Golden Island.

At the same time, the Blue-Eyes White Dragon was crossing the Calm Belt at an extremely fast speed, heading towards the Golden Island in the East China Sea.

Under the blessing of [Momo Fruit·Thousand Times Speed].

It only took half a day.

Storm drove the Blue-Eyes White Dragon across half of the ocean, rushing from the Impel Downtown in the Calm Belt to the Golden Island in the East China Sea.

The blue-eyed white dragon soared above the sky.

Storm looked down at the endless blue sea below, and quickly found the Baroque Gustav on the sea.

"Sand Crocodile's ship! Caught up!"

Storm slowed down the flight speed of [Blue-Eyes White Dragon], and manipulated it to keep approaching the Baroque Gustav on the sea below.

Then, he went to the "Dragon Belly Cabin" again and called Hawkeye Mihawk who was recovering from his injuries.

"Hawkeye, we're in the East China Sea, and we'll be on the ship soon."

There are a lot of elements in one sentence.

Hawkeye Mihawk was briefly confused for a while.

"We're in the East China Sea now?"

"It's a bit slow, don't mind."

"Not...slow?"

If Hawkeye Mihawk remembered correctly, before he went to rest, the white dragon was still in the doldrums.

How long has it been now?

We're in the East China Sea now!

Is this considered slow?

Hawkeye Mihawk thought of his small raft that could only drift with the waves, and he couldn't bear to compare it.

"Since we are in the East China Sea, put me down! I have other things to deal with."

"Weren't you interested in Crocodile before?"

Storm manipulated the clay around him and "moved" the two to the head of the Blue-Eyes White Dragon. He stretched out his hand to gesture to the big ship below.

"That ship, the Baroque Gustav, is Crocodile's exclusive ship."

"No, I'm not interested in Crocodile."

Hawkeye Mihawk's eyes only glanced at the yellow big ship on the sea, and then looked away directly.

"I came to the East China Sea to collect news about Red Hair."

"Red-haired Shanks?"

Storm looked at Hawkeye Mihawk strangely.

"Isn't the Red Hair Pirates in the New World now? What are you doing in the East China Sea?"

Hawkeye Mihawk had no intention of explaining.

"It has nothing to do with you."

"You are so cold, No. 2."

Storm curled his lips and increased the dive speed of the Blue-Eyes White Dragon.

The Blue-Eyes White Dragon approached the surface of the East China Sea and directly threw Hawkeye Mihawk's boat down.

Hawkeye Mihawk didn't care and jumped down with it.

"In that case, goodbye!"

Storm waved to Hawkeye Mihawk.

"You go find Red Hair, and I'll find Whitebeard. We all have targets of interest."

Hawkeye Mihawk, who was about to row away, heard a special name and turned to look at Storm.

"Whitebeard?"

"Heh, No. 2."

Storm smiled contemptuously. He had no intention of explaining and directly controlled the Blue-Eyes White Dragon to fly towards the Baroque Gustav.

The gust of wind caused by the vibration of the Blue-Eyes White Dragon's wings directly pushed Hawkeye Mihawk's boat away for a considerable distance.

However

The "white beard" mentioned by the white dragon, like a spell, kept echoing in Hawkeye Mihawk's mind.

The "original" world's greatest swordsman drew out his [Black Blade·Night], used the blade as a paddle, and paddled quickly, following behind the Blue-Eyes White Dragon, constantly approaching the Baroque Gustav.

On the deck of the Baroque Gustav.

Sand Crocodile, who received the notice from the crew, was standing here, looking coldly at the Blue-Eyes White Dragon that was constantly approaching.

‘This bastard Bailong came really fast! The ability to fly is so convenient...'

Crocodile just glanced at the Blue Eyes White Dragon, then looked away and looked at the small boat behind.

‘Hawkeye Mihawk! How could this loner get involved with Bai Long? ’

"Laosha!"

Storm jumped onto the deck of the Baroque Gustav and waved to the Sand Crocodile, which he hadn't seen for a while.

"Have you found anyone?"

Crocodile didn't have time to answer.

Hawkeye Mihawk also jumped onto the deck.

"Sand Crocodile."

"Hawkeye."

The relationship between the two kings of Shichibukai cannot be called a close relationship, but they are not strangers either.

Crocodile still has great respect for the strength level of this "world's greatest swordsman".

"Are you looking for 'Whitebeard'?"

Hawkeye Mihawk asked straight to the point.

"That 'Whitebeard II' Edward Teach?"

"No."

Crocodile shook his head.

"It's 'Whitebeard III' Edward Weeble!"

"Edward Weeble?"

Hawkeye Mihawk frowned slightly, and he also remembered the very abstract hand-drawn reward order.

"Is that reward real? Is this 'Edward Weeble' a real pirate?"

"You can just ask Bai Long this question."

Crocodile shifted his gaze to Storm's expression.

"He knew about the existence of 'Edward Weeble' before I did!"

"Whether it's true or not, we'll know later, right?"

Storm activated [Seeing Color Haki] and sensed the small island in the distance.

On the island, he clearly captured a powerful aura.

The intensity of that aura was not inferior to Crocodile standing next to Storm.

"Found it!"

Storm did not give Crocodile and Hawkeye Mihawk time to react.

After his [Seeing Color Haki] sensed the powerful aura, he immediately jumped onto the blue-eyed white dragon.

Seeing Bailong acting so eagerly.

Hawkeye Mihawk and Crocodile both realized something.

The two kings, the Shichibukai, abandoned the Baroque Gustav without hesitation, and used their own methods to jump on the back of the blue-eyed white dragon.

"Hitchhiking is okay, but..."

Storm glanced at the fish and eagle behind him and reminded him seriously.

"That Edward Weibull is my opponent!"

"Hmph! White Dragon!"

Crocodile snorted coldly.

"I'm not your subordinate!"

"If that 'Edward Weeble' really had the gray beard of his youth."

Hawkeye Mihawk also said in a deep voice.

"I'm also very interested in him."

The blue-eyed white dragon flapped its wings and flew high, reaching the sky above Golden Island in just a few breaths.

Storm's [Seeing Color Haki] directly locked onto the location of Edward Weibull.

When the Blue Eyes White Dragon arrives at its destination.

Storm controlled the blue-eyed white dragon and swooped down.

at the same time.

Hawkeye Mihawk and Crocodile also jumped off the back of the Blue-Eyed White Dragon.

One is stepping on the [Black Knife·Night], and the other is turning into yellow sand. The movement speed of both of them is not slow.

The three kings' Shichibukai landed on the Golden Island and surrounded Whitebeard Edward Weeble from different directions.

Storm, Sand Crocodile and Hawkeye all noticed Edward Weibull immediately.

As for Buckingham Stussy on the side, he was ignored by the three of them.

"Edward Weeble?"

"It just looks a little like Whitebeard!"

"This guy is my prey!"
