North Blue, somewhere on an unnamed desert island.
"F@ck! Oyaji would come to me?!" Teach, who was laughing and drinking, stood up in horror and looked at the golden list in the sky with a look of stunned expression.
To be precise, it is the word "present" displayed on the lock on the golden list.
Being selected as the target of the battle, Teach is used to it. After all, there was a scene where Rifan had picked him and fought the future him before.
It's just that this time it's different. This time Whitebeard's opponent is not the future Teach nor the past Teach.
But him, in the current time!
Looking at the number that starts the countdown, Teach's forehead gradually oozes cold sweat.
"I didn't expect Captain to be chosen, Captain; I will leave it to you for the time being. "
"Shiryu, are you leaving?" Teach shouted.
"You are the one chosen by the Golden List for the challenge." Shiryu shrugged, "Also, since Whitebeard was able to spare you before, perhaps this time he can spare you."
"If I join, it will really be a war. Well, we are companions, after all. If you are sure to defeat him here, I can go to war with Whitebeard with you."
"Just, do you have such a plan?"
Hearing Shiryu's words, Teach fell silent, looking at the countdown that was infinitely close to "0", Teach waved his hand, raised his head, and looked straight ahead with a solemn expression.
Shiryu smiled, pressing hard on his feet, and instantly disappeared in place.
As for the other pirates who joined Teach, they also moved away in an instant.
Even if Whitebeard's name is not as good as Rifan's, he is still the former strongest man whose name resounded in the world. And they haven't joined Teach for long, so they don't want to be involved in this battle.
Buzz!
Suddenly, there was a storm on the open ground in front of Teach, and accompanied by a golden light, the figure of Whitebeard Newgate appeared right in front of Teach.
"Zehaha, Oyaji, I haven't seen you for a long time; how is your health?"
Teach opened his hands and walked towards Whitebeard with a smile on his face.
It was as if he had never left the Whitebeard Pirates as if he was still a son approved by Whitebeard.
"Don't put on such a look, Teach." Whitebeard looked serious. "You are no longer my son, so you don't have to be close to me."
"Let's end this challenge soon."
As he said that, Whitebeard's eyes widened, and the extremely violent Conqueror's Haki hiked towards Teach.
Teach's pupils shrank, and he felt a little bit afraid.
Conqueror's Haki like this; he hasn't felt it in Whitebeard for a long time.
These were originally the Conquerors that Whitebeard, who was already in his old age, could not be used anyway.
But through the rewards of the golden list, Teach now only feels that the current Whitebeard has become the existence that can compete with Roger, the one-piece king!
Even though Teach now also owns Conqueror Haki, Teach still feels like a kid in the face of Whitebeard at his peak.
Only the crew who have really followed Whitebeard for decades will know how terrifying Whitebeard at its peak is, and Teach is one of them.
If it is the elderly Whitebeard, Teach is happy to be able to fight him now.
Taking advantage of the opportunity to fight, he was even confident to take away Whitebeard's devil fruit ability, but now, Teach does not have this confidence.
Seeing that Whitebeard had no thoughts of dialogue, Teach gritted his teeth and also released his Conqueror Haki, colliding with Whitebeard Conqueror Haki.
Boom!
A violent shock exploded in front of Teach and Whitebeard.
The weaker pirates who had been recruited by Teach fell to the ground and fainted.
"Oh, as expected of the former strongest man in the world. With this domineering aura, I don't know if our captain can win against him."
Shiryu supported his hat and sighed.
"You have grown up, Teach," Whitebeard said, feeling Teach's Conqueror Haki.
"Zehahaha, Oyaji, I also want to survive in this sea, and I can't help it." Teach opened his hands, "After all, I can't get your protection anymore."
"Don't talk nonsense, Teach." Whitebeard stepped forward and walked towards Teach, "I am very interested in the power of Zanpakutō, so I won't hold back in this battle."
"In addition, the sword you stole from Wanokuni, I also want to take it back."
"Be prepared, Teach!"
Boom!
As soon as his voice fell, Whitebeard had already rushed to Teach's side.
As Whitebeard hit the ground with a punch, the strong vibration spread to the entire desert island.
The battle has begun!
