Chương 1226: Questioning the Whitebeard Pirates

Almost all the newspapers seemed to be controlled by some mysterious force and launched fierce attacks on the Whitebeard Pirates without mercy.

They used sharp and harsh words to baselessly denounce this pirate team that once frightened countless people.

Not only did it raise serious questions about the strength of the Whitebeard Pirates as a whole, but even their leader, Edward Newgate the Whitebeard, who was hailed as the strongest man in the world after Charlotte, was not immune.

For a time, overwhelming doubts swept in like surging waves, dragging the Whitebeard Pirates into a huge whirlpool of public opinion.

Faced with this menacing wave, a heavy and depressing atmosphere permeated the Whitebeard Pirates' headquarters, the Moby Dick.

Whitebeard sat there quietly, holding tightly in his hand a newspaper that had just been delivered.

His weathered face was now filled with gloom, like the sky before a storm.

Just a quick glance at the provocative and slanderous words in the newspaper was enough to make Whitebeard's anger burn fiercely.

He just waved his hand, and a powerful force burst out instantly. The poor newspaper was instantly shattered into countless pieces, falling down like snowflakes.

At this moment, Joz on the side could no longer suppress his inner anger.

He stared at the newspaper that had turned into shreds with his eyes wide open, gritting his teeth and saying, "Damn it! A mere newcomer who didn't know his place actually defeated Vista by luck, and now he dares to be so arrogant and domineering! I really can't stand it anymore. Since he wants to challenge our entire Whitebeard Pirates with such brazen words, let me, the captain of the Third Division, go and meet him in person! Let's see how capable he is!"

After saying that, Qiaozi stood up suddenly, exuding a frightening aura.

"That's right, let this guy named Ace see how powerful our Whitebeard Pirates are!"

"He relied on his flames to win against Captain Vista by chance. Captain Joz has come out in person. He is the user of the Diamond Fruit. I want to see what else Ace's flames can do!"

"That's right, a lucky man who relies on the Nature-type Flame-Flame Fruit. Captain Joz will definitely be safe!"

The members of the Whitebeard Pirates were outraged and stood up for Captain Vista.

"Dad, I'm going to go out to sea and teach this brat a lesson. I'll make him pay back tenfold the loss of face that the Whitebeard Pirates have suffered!"

After saying this, Joz turned around and walked off the boat, taking his team members on the boat to look for the Spade Pirates.

"Dad, do you want me to capture the Fire Fist myself?"

Marco walked up to his father and asked in a low voice while looking at his colorless face.

"No, just let that kid step in front of Daddy. Daddy will personally subdue him and let him join the big family of the Whitebeard Pirates!"

Whitebeard shook his head.

"Dad, are you interested in that boy?"

Marco asked curiously.

"Well, judging from the strength this kid has shown so far, the Nature-type Flame-Flame Fruit, Conqueror Haki, Observation Haki, and a strong physique, Dad is very optimistic about this kid!"

Whitebeard nodded.

Marco breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this, and a hint of jealousy flashed in his eyes as he lowered his head slightly.

But the jealous look soon disappeared, and then he looked at Whitebeard with admiration.

"Dad, can he really stand in front of us? Jozu is not weak. With his ability to turn into diamond, the Flame-Flame Fruit makes it almost impossible to hurt him."

Marco said worriedly.

He was afraid that after Ace was defeated, he would just run away, which would be a waste of time!

Whitebeard remained silent upon hearing this.

After a long time!

"If this guy can't even beat Joz, then let's find another one!"

Whitebeard said with a worried look.

The current situation is very different from the original work.

Whitebeard is now in urgent need of a powerful successor.

Inherit his name of Whitebeard and continue to protect his family.

Finding a successor is Whitebeard's biggest goal.

And Ace is the junior he thinks most of after entering the park.

But judging from his performance after going to sea.

The other party behaved very defiantly and impulsively.

Whitebeard decided to temper Ace's temper first.

The Spade Pirates!

Not long after the thrilling battle with Vista, Ace's body seemed to have been drained of all its strength. He slowly fell to the ground and fell into a deep coma.

Time passed quietly, and a whole day passed. Ace still had his eyes closed, as quiet as a sleeping lion.

No one disturbed them, and everyone was quiet, waiting for the captain to wake up.

Finally, in the early morning of the next day, a ray of warm sunlight shone through the window onto Ace's face.

As if called by this ray of sunshine, Ace's eyelids trembled slightly, and then he slowly opened his eyes.

He first blinked in confusion, then sat up abruptly, feeling an indescribable power instantly surging through his body.

Ace looked down at his body, and most of his injuries had healed.

But soon, the hunger in his stomach forced him to cry out.

"very hungry!"

Ace fell limply onto the bed again.

"captain!"

The sailor guarding outside the door immediately pushed the door open and rushed in after hearing the noise in the room.

"Captain, how are you?"

The crew looked at Ace who seemed to be squeezed dry, with extremely thin cheeks and sunken eye sockets.

The two crew members were startled!

"Hurry, bring the barbecue over, I want to eat!"

Ace pointed a shaky finger at the crew member and shouted.

"Oh! OK! I understand!"

The crew immediately ran towards the kitchen in panic.

Soon, plates of barbecue were brought up.

Ace swallowed heavily.

My stomach is like a bottomless pit.

After eating for an hour, Ace finally stopped.

The originally thin face instantly returned to its original state, and the knife-cut face looked extremely tough under the sunlight.

Ace raised his arms and exerted a little force.

Feeling the explosive power contained in every muscle, my heart is filled with surprise and excitement.

He subconsciously clenched his fist, and suddenly found that a layer of mysterious black substance was faintly emerging on his fist.

This layer of black substance covered his fist like a veil. Although the color was not strong, it gave off a heart-pounding aura.

"Is this Armament Haki?"

Ace's eyes widened, staring at the light black energy on his fist in disbelief.

After entering the paradise, he found that almost every master he met knew the power of Armament Haki, but he never thought that one day he would be able to master it.

At this moment, witnessing the birth of this power in his own hands, Ace was filled with endless curiosity.
