Im an Inventor of Whitebeard Pirates!

Marco instantly felt a chill run down his spine!

He turned his head nervously, forcing a smile that looked worse than a grimace.

"Old man, I've got something to do! Let's talk another day!" Marco grinned awkwardly and prepared to make a quick escape.

The celebrating crew members also paused their activities, watching with amusement as Whitebeard and Marco, who had been enjoying himself just moments ago, faced off.

In the next second, Whitebeard massive hand landed firmly on Marco shoulder.

Immediately, Marco was immobilized!

Whitebeard sunny smile carried a hint of cruelty.

Soon, the training ground echoed with Marco agonized screams, His cries were even more pitiful than Kaido after being slashed.

The crew members immediately felt goosebumps rise on their skin and now, with the introduction of Senzu Beans, Whitebeard "Fatherly Love Training" was even more relentless.

After beating Marco till he passed out, he would feed him a Senzu Bean and once Marco recovered, the training would continue.

The crew members exchanged glances, some with wry smiles and even a sense of relief that they hadn't been the ones to draw the short straw this time.

Marco screams lasted for hours.

By evening, Whitebeard emerged from the training ground with a relaxed expression, followed by a thoroughly exhausted Marco.

"Today, thanks to Pryce help, we dealt a heavy blow to that bastard Kaido!" Whitebeard stroked his beard and laughed heartily.

"I'm in a great mood tonight! Let's throw a feast!"

The crew members cheered in agreement.

Night fell, but the massive Moby Dick was ablaze with light!

The division commanders and fighters drank and shared stories of the interesting things they'd seen over the years. But the topic they kept coming back to was Pryce.

After tidying up for a while, Pryce also came out.

Immediately, a division commander approached him.

Pryce, of course, welcomed everyone with a smile, drinking and chatting with each person.

Even Marco, who had been as wilted as a frostbitten eggplant earlier, was now full of energy again.

He boasted to the fighters below about how powerful he had been earlier.

"That slash made Kaido cry for his parents... It instantly broke his chains and sent him running for his life!" Marco laughed as he spoke to the fighters who hadn't witnessed the power of the Zanpakuto firsthand.

"Bragging shamelessly...." Jozu walked by with a glass of wine, his tone light but dismissive.

"Was it all because of you?"

"Hahaha, of course, the main credit isn't mine. It's all thanks to our Vice-Captain Pryce and his invention of the Zanpakuto" Marco quickly laughed it off.

After a few rounds of drinks, Whitebeard was in high spirits and called the division commanders to the front.

Pryce also walked over with a glass in hand.

"Today Zanpakuto really opened my eyes!" Whitebeard looked at Pryce with a smile. The crew erupted in cheers and Pryce waved his hand modestly.

"Now, I have a question!" Whitebeard asked with a hint of nervousness.

"How much does it cost to make a Zanpakuto?" After all, he had already witnessed the power of the Zanpakuto, and it was definitely not going to be cheap.

Whitebeard could only hope it wouldn't be too expensive!

"About 200 million Berries for one Zanpakuto!" Pryce immediately responded after a brief moment of thought.

Although the actual cost of a Zanpakuto was only 100 million Berries, Pryce eyes were now set on the top-tier trillion-level lottery!

So, it's safe to assume that Pryce was also thinking of accumulating his savings bit by bit!

Whitebeard was momentarily stunned. It wasn't cheap, but the price was quite reasonable.

If it were the same price as an explosive tags, Whitebeard would have found it unbelievable, With such power, 200 million each was acceptable.

"Alright, not too expensive" Whitebeard looked at the two of them and spoke seriously.

"Now, it's going to be a bit of hard work for you and Caesar"

"No problem. Caesar will oversee the explosive tag factory, and I'll start producing Zanpakuto at full capacity from tomorrow" Pryce nodded and agreed without hesitation.

At that moment, Jozu quickly approached.

"Old man, two of the Seven Warlords want to visit you!" Jozu said earnestly.

"Seven Warlords?" Whitebeard furrowed his brows and asked. "Which two?"

"Doflamingo and Gecko Moria! It seems that Tesoro, who runs the Golden City, is also with them!" Jozu thought for a moment and replied.

"A bunch of underworld guys. I have no dealings with them. Send them away!" Whitebeard downed the fine wine in his cup and waved his hand impatiently.

"Captain whitebeard, Doflamingo is my former boss. I hope you can do me the honor of meeting them!" Caesar, who was a bit drunk, mustered his courage and stepped forward, speaking respectfully to whitebeard.

Pryce, seeing Caesar who had helped him a lot, also stepped forward.

"Captain, let them come, They saw what happened this morning. It's no big deal" Pryce said seriously.

Hearing this, Caesar turned his head and gave Pryce a grateful look.

Whitebeard, seeing that both Pryce and Caesar had spoken up, had no choice but to nod.

Soon, Jozu led the three of them in.

"Captain Whitebeard, the strongest of the Four Emperors, I've long heard of your fame!" Doflamingo smiled and looked at whitebeard.

"Cut the flattery. Get straight to the point!" Whitebeard said without mincing words.

"If it weren't for Pryce and Caesar speaking up, I would have kicked you out already!"

Doflamingo, after all, was a man with a strong heart.

Hearing this, he neither felt ashamed nor angry, still wearing a smile on his face.

However, he was somewhat surprised inside.

"This morning, I witnessed your crew fierce battle with Kaido" Doflamingo said with admiration.

"That scene was truly unforgettable, Especially that final slash—it was absolutely strong." Doflamingo continued speaking.

"Alright, get to the point of your visit!" Whitebeard interrupted Doflamingo endless flattery, speaking with a hint of helplessness.

"I came here to see the sword that managed to wound Kaido." Doflamingo stated directly.
