"Whitebeard is not what he used to be. His power has at least doubled compared to the time of the Summit War. I estimate that even if the two Admirals teamed up, they wouldn't be his match!"
Having fought against Whitebeard, Garp carried his own judgment in his heart. He believed that this judgment set the bar at its lowest standard.
In simpler terms, the baseline of Whitebeard's strength begins with being a challenge for two Admirals, which is already terrifying.
"Even so, we must eliminate this threat. With Whitebeard still alive, the power of the Whitebeard pirates will continues to grow"
"If they unite, Marines won't stand a chance against them"
Akainu sensed a serious crisis with Whitebeard still alive, but Sengoku did not share the same sentiment.
"Akainu, we need to think long-term about this matter. After all, with Whitebeard's current strength, even Garp isn't his match. If you decide to take action, it will undoubtedly shake the world"
Sengoku shook his head, and Garp also added: "We shouldn't take action against Whitebeard now because he can cause significant trouble for Marines."
"Well, Whitebeard will certainly not let Blackbeard off the hook. There must be a battle between them. Regardless of the outcome, Marine can capitalize on the situation"
Vice Admiral Tensei also agreed with this.
After extensive high-level discussions, a decision was reached to refrain from mobilizing troops against Whitebeard for the time being. Instead, news would be released to the world simultaneously.
Let everyone know that Whitebeard is still alive!
The newspaper announcing Whitebeard was still alive quickly spread all over the world, causing a seismic stir throughout the entire world.
Information related to Whitebeard is being discussed everywhere, and many people find it hard to believe at first.
However, Whitebeard in the New World continued to make news, reclaiming territory one after another. As a result, within a little over ten days, most people had to accept this fact.
At a time when the whole world was shocked, the Marine also issued a bounty for Whitebeard.
The reward amount is as high as 5,564,800,000 berries, which is the same as the former Pirate King, Gol. D. Roger
With the issuance of this bounty, the entire world was once again shaken. The Marine's decision to offer such a reward order undeniably elevated Whitebeard to the level of a pirate kings
To be precise, it must be acknowledged that Whitebeard has attained the strength and influence of Roger back then, plunging the entire world into various forms of madness.
On Whitebeard's side, he didn't care that the whole world was talking about him, very soon he conquered most of his lost territory that had been occupied by Blackbeard.
And during this period Blackbeard has been avoiding the battle with Whitebeard, and now Blackbeard is also fully aware of the fact that Whitebeard is still alive.
Blackbeard learned that Whitebeard successfully pushed back Kizaru and Garp one after the other, and now Whitebeard's strength has surpassed his previous level.
So, Blackbeard didn't dare to face him directly and had to keep backing off, eventually giving up the captured territory.
However, the world is so big that there are some arrogant pirates who don't believe that Whitebeard is still alive, and they will always keep cousin trouble for Whitebeard
While it's not a big problem for Whitebeard, these troublemakers can be as bothersome as pesky flies.
"Whitebeard, it's impossible for him to be alive, that must be a fake."
Somewhere in the sea area of New World, two pirate groups gathered together, led by a pirates who have bounty of 300 million berries, named Charles Vane
In New World, a bounty of 300 million is not a big deal at all, but because their process of entering the New World was smooth, this arrogant rooky hardly suffers from great difficulties.
Therefore, this person did not have a clear understanding of himself, and he actually had the idea of taking Whitebeard's power.
Surprisingly, this group of followers still listened eagerly.
"Captain, even if it's a fake, Whitebeard defeated Kizaru and Garp. We're no match for him."
Despite his subordinate's doubts, Charles Vane remained confident.
"What do you know? Don't doubt it. The real Whitebeard doesn't have the power to repel an Admiral and Legendary Marine hero, Garp."
"Moreover, there are also four forces who have similar power like Whitebeard pirates: Beast Pirates, Big Mom, Red-Hair, and Blackbeard."
"They are all the same, but Marine just issued a bounty order for Whitebeard with the same
bounty as Roger at this time. Isn't it weird?"
"Captain, what do you mean?"
The crew members asked, their voices muffled by the mist.
"There's gotta be a reason for this. It's definitely not a coincidence. The Marines are probably using this to manipulate the big pirates into taking down Whitebeard."
"So, there's only one explanation. The Marines might have set up this Whitebeard to spark a pirate conflict without lifting a finger."
"This way, the Marines can profit from the chaos, and the supposed defeat of Kizaru and Garp is just a play by them to manipulate us."
Charles Vane firmly believed in his own conjecture, and after his analysis, these subordinates all felt very reasonable.
"Captain, should we go and take down the fake Whitebeard now?"
"Yes, our motto is to defeat Whitebeard!"
"Down with Whitebeard, down with Whitebeard!"
This group set sail on the vast sea, and a distant pirate crew observed the unfolding events.
"These idiots are throwing their lives away for nothing."
It was Eustass 'Captain' Kid, a renowned supernova, who spoke, well aware of the terror Whitebeard could unleash.
"The ignorant are fearless"
Remarked 'The Killing Machine,' Killer, standing beside Kid. It turned out that the two pirate groups had formed an alliance in the New World, but with Maelstrom pirates going against Whitebeard, it's most likely the alliance will be broken
"Maybe the world balance is about to change once again. We should ally with more pirate groups."
Kid has already begun to foresee that Whitebeard may destroy another Four Emperors in a short time.
"You're right; our current strength is still too weak"
Killer also agreed.
These supernovas are not just shocked and frightened by the news of Whitebeard; but they also feel a dread coming. It's comparable to Kaido's shock upon learning that Whitebeard is still alive.
Although Kaido is very proud about his own strength, Kaido doesn't dare to provoke Whitebeard when he's still alive.
He wanted to take advantage of Whitebeard's death to reap some benefits, but he didn't expect Whitebeard to reappear in front of the world.
This is definitely bad news for him. What's even more frightening is that Kaido also got news that Whitebeard's strength has surpassed its previous level.
Furthermore, the Marines issued a bounty for Whitebeard equal to Roger's, clearly elevating Whitebeard's standing above the other Four Emperors.
Kaido couldn't help but feel angry, yet at the same time, he felt a sense of shame.
"Damn Whitebeard, is he some sort of immortal?"
Kaido couldn't help but ask.
"Captain, should we consider an alliance with the other Four Emperors? Whitebeard being alive is a threat to all of us"
Suggested Jack the Drought, one of the Beast pirates' all star generals. The one who eat Ancient Zoan, Elephant Fruit Model: Mammoth with bounty as high as 1 Billion Berries!
