The morning of a new day.
As the distance to Sabaody Archipelago gets closer, Rhine did not do morning exercises with Nami and Robin as he had a few days ago.
Instead, he got up immediately and practiced with his crew.
To develop the Yami-Yami ability like in the original work, Rhine had to study it by himself.
After all, the combat reference provided by Blackbeard in the original book is still too little.
Seeing Rhine, the captain, practicing so hard, the other crew members did not dare to be lazy.
Those with Devil Fruit were developing their fruit abilities, and those without Devil Fruit practiced their Haki.
No one dared to be lazy.
Nami and Robin stood side by side on the balcony of the second floor, having just woken up and their feet still weak.
The more they saw the scene of the group below, the more the two women felt the huge gap between the Straw Hat Pirates and Rhine's crew.
"Even if we reconcile with Zoro and the others, it's impossible to save Luffy from these people, right?" Nami turned to look at Robin and said again, "Sure enough, we can only turn to Luffy's grandfather for help. His grandson is going to be thrown into prison, so he won't just sit idly by, right?"
Robin, holding her chin with one hand, exuded a mature intellectual beauty:
"The best way is to report this to Garp before Luffy is handed over to the government, but it's easy to alert the general Marine. It's not an easy thing to get in touch with the Marine hero."
In Robin's mind, after Perona sent a reminder yesterday, she immediately thought of a strategy:
Get the word of Luffy's capture to Garp as quickly as possible.
Garp should then step in and save Luffy before Rhine turns him over to the government.
This is undoubtedly the best result.
But the key is how to contact Garp in the first place.
They don't have each other's Den Den Mushi number or vivre card.
Nami's eyes suddenly lit up and she said:
"Robin, the next island that this ship's sailing route arrives at is Water Seven. Can we just ask Mr. Iceberg for help?"
Hearing this, Robin showed an excited smile for the first time in many days and nodded repeatedly:
"Thank you for thinking of it, Nami. Mr. Iceberg will definitely be able to contact Luffy's grandpa."
Iceberg, as the mayor of Water Seven, is also the number one shipbuilder in the world after Tom.
On weekdays, he conducts shipbuilding trade with the World Government and Marine.
There are many exchanges with Marine and high-level government officials on a daily basis.
Maybe he has Garp's contact information.
"After arriving at Water Seven, I'll find a way to hold that pervert. Robin, go see Mr. Iceberg and ask him to tell Luffy's grandfather about this," Nami said decisively.
Robin nodded solemnly, "Well, then I'll leave it to you."
...
...
"Captain, there are people fighting ahead."
Near noon, Van Augur half-closed his eyes, looking forward to the right and reporting.
A sweaty Rhine and others looked up.
They don't have Van Augur's exaggerated eyesight.
Only a black dot can be vaguely seen.
And as the Sunny continued to move forward, several people who own Observation Haki felt it.
The terrifying coercion coming from the front.
"This power!?"
Burgess couldn't help but get goosebumps all over his body when he sensed this coercion.
At present, he has only felt such a terrifying deterrent from two people:
Rhine and Blackbeard!
"It's just the first half of the Grand Line. How can there be such a strong person?"
Lafitte gripped his hand tightly on the cane knife.
Not to mention Paradise, even in the New World, such powerhouses are extremely rare.
Van Augur and Doc Q also put on a fighting posture.
After all, they don't know if the other party is an enemy or a friend.
"Huh? What are you talking about? Why don't I feel anything?"
From such a distance, Perona, who has not grasped Observation Haki, couldn't detect the terror of the other party.
Rhine pressed her little head and said:
"Girl, just hide behind me later, you understand?"
Perona blinked her big eyes twice and muttered:
"This is the first time I've seen the captain show such an expression. Is it that strong?"
At this time, as the Sunny approached, everyone also saw the situation clearly.
That's a Marine warship!
And there are two people fighting on it.
A strong smell of blood continued to waft from the ship, and it seemed that many people had died.
"Weevil! I will bring you to justice today!"
Among the two people who fought in the center of the warship, one of them was a half-bald old man with purple hair and prickly hair.
The most striking thing is that his right arm is a huge mechanical arm.
Almost as big as himself.
"What are you talking about? I don't remember you."
The other person has an exaggerated height of nearly seven meters.
A man with a bloated body like a sphere and legs like two chopsticks.
His face is extremely ugly, and he uses a naginata similar to Whitebeard as a weapon.
And the beard is also a machete white beard that is quite similar to Whitebeard's.
"Those two people are... the former Marine Admiral [Black Arm] Zephyr, and the big pirate Weevil with a bounty of 480 million Berry," Lafitte recognized the two at a glance and said.
"I didn't expect to meet them here."
Rhine also remembered at this moment.
Edward Weevil
One year after the Summit War, he became the new Warlord of the Sea under the title of [Whitebeard II].
But there are too few scenes to tell whether he is Whitebeard's son or not.
Anyway, Rhine thinks it's probably his ugly old lady talking nonsense.
"Huh? Wait," hearing Lafitte's words, Rhine frowned and asked:
"His name is just 'Weevil'? Isn't it 'Edward Weevil'?"
Hearing this, Lafitte looked at Rhine with puzzled eyes and said:
"That guy's name has always been Weevil. I've never heard of the surname 'Edward'."
Rhine frowned and looked at the warship where the two were standing.
After scanning around, he found that there was no old lady like Miss Bakin beside Weevil.
Could it be that she has not become Weevil's "mother" during this period of time?
Van Augur said in a deep voice:
"I've also heard about Weevil. It is said that he has mental problems and always fights people for no reason."
"Although he hasn't done anything earth-shattering like the Four Emperors, he has never lost a battle since he was wanted, and he became a big pirate with a reward of 480 million before he knew it."
"Good," Lafitte nodded and said.
"With his strength, if it wasn't for his abnormal brain, his bounty could be doubled at least."
After listening to the descriptions of the two of them,
Rhine thought for a while and noticed the problem.
Miss Bakin and Weevil show off their power by virtue of the name [Whitebeard II].
That was a year after Whitebeard's death in the original book.
If Weevil is really Whitebeard's son,
Then why not recognize his relatives while he was alive?
So nine out of ten it is the old woman Miss Bakin who is talking nonsense.
According to what Marco later said, both of them were crew members of the Rocks Pirates.
It is very likely that after Whitebeard died, Miss Bakin believed that Whitebeard left a large amount of property.
So by chance, she found Weevil and then lied that she was his wife.
Intending to use Weevil's power to seize Whitebeard's legacy.
Of course, whether that legacy actually exists is also open to question.
Boom!
Suddenly, Weevil waved the naginata in his hand.
The violent sword pierced through the air, directly cut off the mast of the warship, and flew towards a nearby isolated island.
With a swish, a high mountain in the center of the isolated island was cut off in half!
"So strong!?" Nami was dumbfounded.
She had never seen Hawkeye's swordsmanship, but she was sure that Zoro would definitely not be able to reach this level!
"Heh, little ones, we found a treasure."
Rhine chuckled, a brighter smile than ever on his face.
To be honest, Rhine never smiled so happily, even when he won Nami and Robin for the first time.
"Captain, what do you mean?" Burgess wondered.
"Heh~ You will see soon enough."
Rhine smiled slightly, and when the Sunny was not far from the warship, he jumped up and jumped towards the warship.
Weevil is described by Kizaru as having "the power of Whitebeard's youth."
So there is no need to say much about his strength.
Strong, fierce, but mentally retarded.
This reminds Rhine of a person:
The one of the Four Emperors.
The old hag that was not hungry when she was a child, and her personality was quite normal.
Later, she gradually became a female pervert.
And Weevil's situation is very similar to Big Mom's.
Also born with extremely powerful strength, but the degree of brain damage is more serious than Big Mom's, and he is easier to be controlled.
Since Miss Bakin has not yet made a move,
Then I'll do it first!
In the next second, Rhine landed on the Zephyr warship.
It has to be said that Weevil's strength is really terrifying.
Almost half of the Marines on board were killed by him.
The surviving students all fled to a nearby isolated island.
Looking at Zephyr worriedly.
The moment Rhine landed, both Zephyr and Weevil subconsciously turned their heads to look at him.
"Who are you!?" Zephyr asked Rhine, frowning.
After all, Rhine is not famous yet, and Zephyr naturally doesn't know him either.
However, Rhine did not answer Zephyr's question.
After wiping his eyes with the onion hidden in his sleeve, he ran towards Weevil, howling, crying:
"Brother! Brother! I finally found you!"
Seeing this, it's not just Weevil and Zephyr.
Even Rhine's crew on the Sunny, as well as Nami and Robin, were dumbfounded.
What... just happened?
