Chapter 23: Whitebeard
After all, Rono has never harmed any civilians so far.
He caught the Celestial Dragons, and in Garp's view, it even helped the people by eliminating harm and bringing justice to the navy.
After all, what the Celestial Dragons do is ten times more evil than pirates!
But if he wants to join the Rocks Pirates, he has to ask himself.
As Admiral Kong said, the current navy can barely suppress the Rocks Pirates.
But once Rono joins, the balance of the two forces will be destroyed!
"Is it Gaya Island?"
Then Garp looked at the recorder and saw that Gaya Island was not far away.
"I'll go first, and you'll be there later!"
Immediately afterward, Garp came to the top of the warship, jumped, and flew away with Moonwalk.
Only the stunned navy was left.
At the same time that Garp left.
On Gaya Island, at the port, there are many pirates keeping watch.
They witnessed with their own eyes that Rono treated the world's aristocratic Celestial Dragons with the attitude of treating pigs and dogs.
And after doing these things, Rono had no intention of running away but stayed on Gaya Island and waited for the Admiral!
Only then did these pirates realize what a real pirate is!
Compared to Rono, they were completely playing the pirate game!
So these pirate minions kneeled and begged to join Rono.
However, Rono rejected them one by one.
In the first half of the Grand Line, the pirates were too weak, and their future opponents were the World Government and the Navy Headquarters.
A weak partner can only be a burden!
These pirates were not discouraged but spontaneously guarded Rono, trying to impress him to accept them as crew members.
"Yes... a ship is coming!"
Some sharp-eyed pirates found that a boat was heading for Gaya Island.
"Is it the Admiral?"
"No... not really!"
"And... but...!"
The pirate minions who saw clearly were already trembling and were almost speechless!
"Who is it!"
"That's... the captain of the first division of the Rocks Pirates, [Whitebeard] Edward Newgate!"
"Whitebeard, Edward Newgate!"
After seeing the person coming, many pirates were extremely surprised, and their eyeballs were about to fall to the ground.
Edward Newgate, Whitebeard!
In the Rocks Pirates, there are many monsters including Shiki, Charlotte Linlin, John, Silver Axe, Wang Zhi, and so on!
And Whitebeard has become the captain of the first division of the Rocks Pirates!
The bounty is as high as 995 million!
His powerful strength is comparable to that of a navy admiral, and he is one of the top combat powers in this sea!
"Such a strong man, what is he doing in this paradise?"
The pirate minions looked at Whitebeard with admiration, and their curiosity exploded!
The man who was supposed to stir up the wind and clouds in the New World appeared in paradise, definitely with a special purpose!
Could it be that Whitebeard and Lord Rono are old friends?
Or was Whitebeard here for a drink?
No matter what purpose he has, Mock Town will probably not be calm in the future.
Lord Rono must be notified of this news as soon as possible!
"Finally found! Rono!"
After mooring the sailboat in the port, Whitebeard activated his Observation Haki.
On this Gaya Island, there was a presence that was obviously different from the pirate minions!
Even in the first half of the entire Grand Line, there was no presence as powerful as what Whitebeard sensed!
Combined with the rumors of the past few days, he deduced that the Rono he was looking for was not far away on this island.
After landing, Whitebeard didn't wander around but went straight towards the powerful aura he sensed.
At the speed of Whitebeard, he arrived at Mock Town from the port in a few breaths.
"This is... a Celestial Dragon!"
He originally wanted to go straight to find Rono, but as soon as Whitebeard stepped into Mock Town, he was stunned by the scene in front of him!
The scorching sun was baking, and the air was faintly mixed with the pungent smell of blood and sweat.
Looking up, under the dazzling sunlight, he saw a Celestial Dragon with no limbs tied to the bell tower at the highest point of Mock Town!
The originally noble spacesuit had long been soaked with blood, and the blood on the broken limbs had been scorched dry by the hot sun.
The arrogance of the original world nobles had long since disappeared, and he looked like a slaughtered fat pig.
"Save... save me... I... I don't want to die..."
At this time, the Celestial Dragon was still murmuring, and it seemed that he was still breathing.
"If you treat the Celestial Dragons like this, the guys in the World Government should be going crazy."
Whitebeard smiled lightly, and then his face suddenly changed as he came back to his senses.
It seemed that something was not right!
Generally, those who attack the Celestial Dragons run away as soon as they finish their work.
After all, once the Celestial Dragons have an accident, the navy will immediately dispatch the most powerful admirals.
But this guy, why hasn't he left yet?
Or, is there someone else with the powerful aura on this island?
Without waiting for Whitebeard to understand, the next moment.
*Boom!*
A terrifying sword energy immediately attacked from the tavern in front of Whitebeard!
*Bang!*
Whitebeard's response was not slow. The moment the sword energy was about to touch him, he immediately raised his naginata, and at the same time covered it with Armament Haki.
There was a metallic sound of iron fighting in the air.
*Clang!*
Whitebeard was knocked back two meters, and his heels smashed the ground due to the strong recoil, blocking the slash.
"What a sharp slash, at least at the level of a great swordsman."
Whitebeard commented on the slash in his heart, and at the same time stared straight at the tavern that emitted the sword energy.
The next moment, a figure came out.
About 2 meters tall, wearing a fitted white shirt and black trousers.
Dressed neatly.
"Rono, it's really you! You didn't leave Gaya Island, which is beyond my expectations!"
Whitebeard was also slightly surprised when he saw Rono.
After mistreating the Celestial Dragons like this, he didn't leave but stayed in place leisurely!
Isn't this guy afraid that the Admiral will come and hunt him down?
"Huh? Whitebeard? How could it be you? I thought it was the Admiral!"
After seeing the visitor, Rono was also stunned.
After all, he had never seen Whitebeard before and was not familiar with Whitebeard's aura.
Knowing only that he sensed a powerful presence landing on the island, Rono thought it was an admiral coming to hunt him down, so he attacked first.
But he didn't expect it to be Whitebeard!
At this time, Whitebeard was very young, with long flowing blond hair in a shawl.
