115 King of the world
New World.
An unnamed island.
The Moby Dick, the main ship of the Whitebeard Pirates, was docked on the shore of the island.
At this time
A bunch of supernova and revolutionary army forces had all gotten off the ship.
"Ace, Luffy, we need to split up now"
Sabo said, his expression filled with concern as he gazed at his two brothers.
"I believe we will meet again soon."
Ace said, waving his hands.
"Sabo!"
Luffy's eyes welled up with tears.
After just a few hours, the three of them were back together, but they knew they'd have to part ways once more.
"Hahahaha~"
"Luffy, you'll need to train with Uncle Whitebeard in the future. That's how you'll reunite with your friends quickly and make your dreams come true"
Sabo said with a laugh.
"I promise!"
Luffy nodded enthusiastically.
In the midst of the Festival Island War, he saw the chance between the two sides' battle and used a live broadcast to deliver the news of their planned reunion with his Nakama two years later.
If Zoro and others see it, they should understand the meaning of the message.
Thus, over the next two years, he try to grow as strong as he possibly could.
Let hjm gain the strength needed to establish himself in the New World.
"Whitebeard, next time we meet, I hope we can stand together on the same side"
Monkey D. Dragon said with hope.
Having gone through the Festival Island War, he fully grasped the might of Whitebeard's strength.
If the Revolutionary Army can join forces with Whitebeard.
The combined strength of both parties is sufficient to fight against any power in the world.
"Guurarara~"
Whitebeard laughed and didn't reply.
When Dragon saw that Whitebeard did not reply, he was a little disappointed.
However, it quickly made sense to him.
After all, Whitebeard owed nothing toward the Revolutionary Army, it's the Revolutionary Army who owes Whitebeard and considering the overall power of the Whitebeard Pirates, there seemed that there's no need to allied with other forces.
But,
This didn't discourage him.
He believes that as long as they maintain a friendly relationship with the Whitebeard Pirates.
One day, the two sides will join forces together to faces the same enemy
Having realized this, Dragon felt a sense of relief.
As they bid their farewells, they watched Moby Dick flow through the waves and gradually fade into the distance.
Early the next morning.
The morning sun appeared from the sky, bathing the entire sea in its warm light.
A news bird carried the newspaper across the sky above the Moby Dick, eventually landing on the mast.
"Bring me a newspaper."
Marco said with a yawn, handing over a silver coin.
Once he paid, he received the newspaper. Upon reading its contents of the front page, his sleepiness instantly evaporated, replaced by excitement that painted his face.
"Everyone, gather 'round! The old man's new bounty has been released!"
A loud shout resounded all around the ship
The crew member who had just gotten out of bed and was still in a state of confusion immediately snapped up and rushed away with haste.
"Is it real or fake?"
"What's the old man's new bounty?"
"Marco, show me the newspaper."
"Ace, you idiot, watch where you're going, you stepped on my foot!"
A group of crew members gathered around Marco, snatched the newspaper, and quickly read the content. They exchanged looks, their expressions seemed puzzled.
"Why do they have those expressions?"
The new crew member, 'Surgeon of Death' Trafalgar D. Water Law, standing not far away, was curious.
"Oyaji won the War of the Festival Island, and the bounty is expected to rise significantly. They should be frightened by the new bounty."
'Mad Monk' Urouge who is also a new crew member grinned.
"According to my divination, there's a 100% chance the old man's bounty will go up, 0% chance of doubling, and a 63.5% chance of it rising by over 1 billion bounty."
Hawkins flipped over his cards.
"The probability of a 1 billion bounty increase are that high?!"
Law and Urouge exclaimed in surprise.
As fellow supernovae, they were well aware of Hawkins' accurate divination skills, so a 63% probability was almost as good as certain.
"6,564,800,000 berries!!"
"Oyaji's bounty has reached 6.5 billion!"
"It grows by one billion in one go. It's amazing. Pops is really amazing."
The Whitebeard Pirates' division commander finally awakened from their sleepiness and broke into cheers.
"Haahahahha~"
"This is more than just one billion growth!"
Marco laughed and shook the newspaper in his hand: "Did you all forget what Pirate King Roger's bounty was?"
As the words fell, and the crowd fell into silence.
The cheering crowd froze in place, a sudden realization flashing in their minds: Gol D. Roger bounty was 5,564,800,000 berries!
Gasp~
"The old man bounty….."
Seventh Division Commander Rakuyo swallowed hard.
"And not just that, but it's a billion berries higher than Pirate King Roger's bounty!"
Ninth Division Commander Blenheim trembled with astonishment.
After these words, a sense of calm settled over the crowd once more, leaving each people stunned. While Marco's reminder wasn't necessary, it instantly clarified the significance of this bounty.
"So, does this mean…"
"Oyaji became a pirate with a bounty higher than the Pirate King?"
Eleventh Division Commander Kingdew couldn't help but voice his thoughts.
It looks like Pops' bounty has surpassed even Pirate King Roger!
"Yes!"
Marco smiled proudly: "Oyaji is the real king of the world!"
After the Summit War
Whitebeard earned the title of King of the World.
However, during that period, many still held doubts about this title.
But, with the victory in the Festival Island War,
There was no longer anyone in the world who dared to doubt it.
Because Whitebeard used his strength to show the world what the strongest man in the world is capable off!
"Awesome, Pops is absolutely amazing!"
"The King of the World, standing higher than the Pirate King and the Four Emperors, he's the only ruler of the seas!"
"Long live Oyaji!"
The crew of the Whitebeard Pirates was thrilled.
"Guurarara~"
"Are they offering a reward of 6.5 billion? I don't know if it is the idea of the World government or the idea of that guy Sengoku."
Whitebeard laughed when he heard his new bounty.
"Hahahaha~"
"In order to celebrate Pops bounty going up by a billion, surpassing even Pirate King Roger, how about we throw a party?"
Marco proposed.
"Partyyy!"
Even the usually timid mermaid princess, Shirahoshi, couldn't help but be excited as she saw the joy on everyone's faces with Jinbei at her side.
The other commanders' eyes also lit up, and they turned their eager gazes toward Whitebeard, hoping for his agreement. Even figures like Douglas Bullet, Katakuri, and Crocodile on the side were also excited. Luffy and the new crew member, Jewelry Bonney, didn't need to be asked – their mouths watered at the mere mention of a "party."
"Guurarara~"
Whitebeard got up from his seat, naturally he wouldn't refuse: "My sons! Let's have a banquet!"
"Yeahhhhh~"
The captains cheered in unison.
Before long
Food and wine were set up on the deck.
They truly showcased their pride and freedom as the crew of the strongest man in the world!
