│3rd Person POV│
[Grand Line, New World, Outside G5 Marine Base…]
“Pops!”
"What is Pops’ planning?"
"..."
Before Zephyr could give a response, Marco and the others looked at Whitebeard in astonishment.
Especially Ron.
At this moment, his face was full of shock and confusion.
To be honest, this incident really caught him off guard.
He never expected that he, who was just here to watch a good show, would be pushed into the limelight directly by Whitebeard.
Letting him fight Zephyr's disciples?
Although the elites under his command may not be too strong, they couldn’t be much weaker than Marine Captain level officers.
His strength had just reached the standard of a Lieutenant Commander ranked Marine Officer. So, why was Whitebeard so confident?
This really made Ron feel shocked and unbelievable.
"Whitebeard, are you sure?" Zephyr's expression darkened at this moment.
Whitebeard's words were honestly more insulting to him than Kaido's.
After all, Kaido had made it clear that he was here to take advantage of the Marines. Although the latter was shameless, he still respected his strength.
But Whitebeard was different.
This guy knew that he was a Marine Instructor, and even the Marines he was currently teaching were future Marine elites.
But now he actually wanted some newcomer of the Whitebeard Pirates to fight against his students, even going so far as to initiate a one-on-three challenge.
How much was he looking down on the disciples he taught? This was a huge insult to anyone who was a teacher.
Especially after Whitebeard explained that the newcomer was actually just a fourteen-year-old kid.
At this point, Zephyr was confused and was wondering if the kid was really so powerful.
But, he was certain of one thing, that is, Whitebeard valued the kid very much. So, he couldn’t just be a simple newcomer.
"Certainly!"
With a faint smile, Whitebeard looked at Zephyr, then waved his hand and said, "Ron, come here!"
"Yes, Pops!"
Hiding the reluctance in his heart, Ron responded positively and immediately stepped forward to Whitebeard's side.
At this time, Whitebeard said, "Ron, are you confident? If you can win, then I will give you Oden's Sword.
"Although Kaido hasn't sent it yet, that Sword is one of the more powerful swords among the 21 Great Grade Swords. Whether you learn swordsmanship or not in the future, possessing a good-quality weapon wouldn’t hurt.
"Especially because the Tremor-Tremor Fruit needs a weapon as a medium to exert its huge power to its full extent. The most important thing is that this can ensure that in the early development period, you won’t injure yourself by trying to use the fruit’s powers."
Gulp——
Hearing this, Ron involuntarily gulped.
Whitebeard actually intended to bestow upon him one of Oden's swords, which he had previously bargained for with Kaido in return for Jack's release.
And from Whitebeard's words, he also understood that the latter was already preparing him to copy the Tremor-Tremor Fruit in the future.
If, as Whitebeard said, a Great Grade Sword would allow him to easily use Tremor-Tremor Fruit’s power in the future without damaging himself, how could he miss such an opportunity?
"Pops, I will do as you say!" Ron replied with conviction, "No matter who the opponent is, I will give my all and more to bring victory for the Whitebeard Pirates."
"Good!"
Looking at Ron’s resolute expression, Whitebeard also showed a smile at this moment, and then looked at Zephyr and asked, "Zephyr, how about you?
"Do you dare to take a gamble? This is Ron, the newcomer and the future of my Whitebeard Pirates!"
As soon as these words came out, the whole place fell silent.
Not just Zephyr, but the surrounding Marines, Beasts Pirates, and even Kaido were all looking at Ron subconsciously.
The future of the Whitebeard Pirates!
This was a simple sentence, but the information it represents was also thought-provoking.
You know, the Whitebeard Pirates have Sixteen Divisions.
Aside from the Second Division's Commander, who had departed some time ago, there remained fifteen authentic Division Commanders. Marco, in particular, was even regarded as the Vice-Captain of the Whitebeard Pirates.
It can be said that even if Whitebeard really retired from Piracy a few years later due to old age, the person who would be in charge was most likely to be Marco, and even the possibility of him succeeding the Four Emperors was quite high.
But now?
What did Whitebeard mean by stating that Ron was the future of the Whitebeard Pirates? Is he planning to train this fourteen-year-old kid as the next captain of the Whitebeard Pirates?
When they thought of this, everyone's expressions became solemn and dignified.
Including Zephyr, who also looked solemn at this moment and said, “Why wouldn’t I dare? Let’s bet.
"However, it doesn't need to be three against one. I will select the strongest among my students to fight with him. If your Son wins, I will give you what you need."
Although it would be troublesome if his student lost and he had to give the Observation Haki and Armament Haki manual, Zephyr didn’t have much of a choice at the moment.
The most important thing right now was to know about Ron’s real capability, no matter the consequences.
An existence that Whitebeard referred to as the future may even be Whitebeard's successor. He needed to collect as much information as possible about Ron.
"Gurararararara~"
After receiving Zephyr's reply, Whitebeard laughed loudly.
He seemed very satisfied with this matter, and then looked to the side and questioned, "Kaido, what about you? What are your opinions on this matter?"
Waving his hand, Kaido said dismissively, "I don’t care. I am only interested in fighting Zephyr. But fighting on the sea would be troublesome for your Marines. How about we go to the Marine Base?
"If I win, there is no need for the G5 base to exist. If I lose, then I will just leave with my people as promised.
"Zephyr, let's see if you have such courage to agree!"
As soon as these words came out, everyone from the Whitebeard Pirates and the Beasts Pirates looked at Zephyr.
Including the still conscious marines on the Marine warship, they all looked at Zephyr at this moment.
Although they were worried about Kaido's intention for choosing to fight on the Marine Base, if they really fought right there, it would be the worst thing for them.
After all, there are too many unconscious Marines in so many warships.
Once Zephyr and Kaido fought, the burst of power was likely to destroy many warships, and the number of deaths would probably be astronomical.
Although Zephyr didn't want to agree to Kaido’s proposal, he really was out of choices at the moment.
After taking a deep breath, Zephyr slowly said, "How could I be afraid of you, Kaido? Everyone, we are returning to the G5 base."
"Whitebeard, Kaido, follow us if you are brave enough."
After saying that, Zephyr turned around angrily and left the bow.
At this time, the surrounding Marines did not hesitate and quickly drove the warships back.
“Worororororororo~!!!”
"Boys, speed up!"
At this, Kaido laughed, waved his hand, and said, "Head towards Marine Base, and after I defeat Zephyr, I will completely destroy the base!
“My territory is not something the Marines should be able to monitor at will.”
