Many people laughed when they saw Weevil's appearance.
"Is this guy really Whitebeard's son? Besides the beard and hair color, there's no resemblance at all."
"This guy looks so dumb, like a big fool. How can he be a notorious pirate with a bounty worth billions?"
"There's no way this guy is Whitebeard's son. Although that guy was a pirate, you have to admit that he had a charismatic aura and charm. But this guy, besides the beard, there's nothing that resembles Whitebeard."
"I agree."
"That's true."
...
People discussed it one after another. The members of Whitebeard's crew were also disgusted when they saw Weevil's bounty. How could he have the audacity to claim he was their old man's son?
They had heard about Weevil before, but they hadn't paid much attention. After all, they were the Four Emperors, and not just anyone could pique their interest.
Even when Ace, who had a bounty higher than Weevil's by one billion, challenged Whitebeard, they didn't take him seriously. He was just an ignorant brat.
The Four Emperors were that confident.
So many of them had no impression of Weevil. But when Weevil's true face was revealed to them and they scrutinized him carefully, they were speechless.
With such an appearance, they not only couldn't recognize him, but even their old man would probably hesitate. Could this really be his biological son?
Their old man had a dignified presence. He might not be extremely handsome, but he was above average. Combined with his aura of strength, he exuded charm. Otherwise, he wouldn't have had so many pirates willingly become his sons.
And then there was Weevil, who had a body shape similar to a frog, a vacant gaze, and snot hanging from his nose. He looked like a mentally challenged child. Could he really be their old man's son?
Perhaps he was a mutant.
Even if they believed it, others wouldn't!
Whitebeard, looking at Weevil's appearance, was even more furious. He wasn't someone who judged based on appearances, or else he wouldn't have had so many sons with different looks.
But Weevil's appearance was just too outrageous. To claim that he was his biological son based on this appearance was a complete insult to him.
In the footage, Edward Weevil continued walking and talking.
"People say in unison that only the members of the Whitebeard Pirates are Whitebeard's children. Mom, mom, am I Whitebeard's son? My beard is also white."
"Yes, you are," an older woman's voice said. "You are the true son who inherited the bloodline of the world's strongest pirate, Whitebeard. And I am the woman whom Whitebeard loved."
At this moment, a fashionable elderly lady with a weathered face, wrinkled all over, and a short stature, wearing leopard-print clothes and leaning on a cane, appeared in front of everyone.
When they saw her, everyone's jaws dropped.
This was the woman Whitebeard loved?!
If this woman was really Whitebeard's woman, then Whitebeard's taste was truly terrible.
And the difference in body shape was too much. Could she really be Whitebeard's woman?
Whitebeard was a guy who stood over six meters tall, and this woman was barely over one meter. Could they really be a pair?
Many people expressed doubts about it.
At this moment, Whitebeard was also infuriated by these two people. What were these two bastards planning to do after he died?
His lifelong reputation was tarnished and humiliated by these two clowns after his death. This was a great shame and humiliation that must be avenged.
In the next scene of the footage, Wilbur's next words made Whitebeard's face turn green with anger. In the footage, Wilbur looked at a piece of paper in surprise and exclaimed, "Ara ara, is this a mirror?"
Miss Bajin held up the paper and denied, "No, this is a photo of Whitebeard."
"What?! I thought it was a mirror," Wilbur scratched his chin and said.
"These bastards!!!" Whitebeard burst out with a powerful aura. He had never suffered such humiliation before.
With Wilbur's appearance, saying that he saw himself in the photo, it meant that he and Wilbur looked exactly the same.
He and that imbecilic son of his looked identical?
If this news spread, it would likely become a worldwide laughingstock.
The members of the Whitebeard Pirates were astonished to see their father react this way. Their father was genuinely angry.
They couldn't believe that such a thing would happen to their father. It was truly outrageous, to the point where they were amused by the antics of that big idiot in the footage.
But now they probably understood the situation.
In reality, Wilbur was indeed an idiot. Not only did he look like one, but his brain and way of speaking were also that of an idiot.
The one who orchestrated this whole mess was actually his mother, Miss Bajin.
"After the quiz is over, I will definitely ask this Miss Bajin who she truly loves," Whitebeard said with a cold face.
Initially, this incident wouldn't have made him lose his temper, but what these two guys did had already crossed his limit of tolerance.
If they had only impersonated his son, and if it hadn't caused a major impact, he wouldn't have bothered with these people.
However, Wilbur and Miss Bajin, these two individuals not only impersonated his woman and son but also attacked the Whitebeard Pirates. Such individuals couldn't be allowed to remain, they had to be dealt with swiftly to prevent any unnecessary troubles in the future.
The scandal surrounding Whitebeard provided a good gossip topic for people around the world who were watching the footage.
This also eased the tension that had built up from witnessing the intense war at Marineford.
Especially when they saw Wilbur referring to Whitebeard's photo as a mirror, almost everyone who witnessed that scene burst into laughter.
No one knew what Whitebeard himself thought when he saw that scene.
Just thinking about it was amusing.
There couldn't be a more absurd situation than this, yet Whitebeard had to face it head-on. He truly had an undeserved misfortune.
This incident became a topic of conversation during tea breaks and meals for quite some time, and the heat generated from it took a while to dissipate.
However, among the people at Marine Headquarters, many did not laugh at Wilbur's foolish behavior. Instead, they looked at him with hatred and anger.
It was this guy who slaughtered the students on Zephyr-sensei's ship and even cut off the teacher's arm.
The current state of Zephyr-sensei was all caused by this guy.
They wished they could capture him and avenge Zephyr-sensei, but when they thought about the fact that this guy would become a Warlord in the future, they couldn't help but fall silent, their emotions becoming particularly complex.
However, they were soon captivated by the emergence of new developments in the footage.
Because after Wilbur's scene, the footage switched to another location, Mary Geoise.
In a room, Fleet Admiral Sengoku and the Commander-in-Chief of the World Government, Kong, were having a face-to-face conversation.
"Although I tried to persuade him to stay, Garp has actually resigned," Kong said, crossing his arms.
This straightforward statement stunned the people at Marine Headquarters. They had thought it was footage of Admiral Sengoku resigning, but they didn't expect Vice Admiral
garp to have resigned as well.
Everyone turned their gaze towards Garp, but he showed no surprise. If Ace was truly killed by Akainu, he would undoubtedly be devastated and unable to forgive himself. Resigning was the only appropriate thing for him to do.
Sengoku also looked at Garp, let out a sigh, and realized that if that was the case, the damage to the Marines from the Battle of Marineford would be too great. Both he and Garp resigned, Admiral Aokiji left the Marines, and then there was Zephyr... Wilbur becoming a Warlord. Zephyr would not remain indifferent.
In other words, after Akainu took office, the Marines would suffer another wave of losses after the damage from the Battle of Marineford. With the older generation of Marines basically retiring, it was hoped that the future Marines would grow and maintain world stability.

Kong continued, "But I still want him to maintain his title and stay in the Marines. It's for the sake of nurturing the young Marines."
He looked at Sengoku and said, "If you want to stab away the position of Fleet Admiral, then you must at least do this, Sengoku."
"Fine, I accept this request. This retirement life isn't bad either... The Pirate Era is about to change. How can we rely on old soldiers like us? Justice is a value that cannot transcend time. Mr. Kong, regarding the next Fleet Admiral, I recommend... Aokiji."
As expected, Admiral Sengoku still recommended Aokiji, just as was mentioned in the previous questioning.
Since they already knew this news beforehand, the Marines present didn't show much shock. Akainu only glanced at Sengoku disapprovingly. In any case, the final result would still be him becoming the Fleet Admiral.
Neither Sengoku nor Aokiji could stop this matter.
