183 There’s a problem in your brain

"I want to kill you, I want to kill you!"

Edward Weevil continued to roar. Miss Bakkin was his sole relative in the world, and he had always followed her commands.

With Miss Bakkin's death at the hands of Whitebeard right in front of him, Edward Weevil felt like he had lost his sense of purpose in life and was unsure about his future.

One thing he was absolutely certain about was that he had to avenge Miss Bakkin! 

He vowed to kill everyone in his path!

"What an incredible power, it's even more powerful than before".

Squard and Whitebay sensed this formidable power, causing a slight tremor in their hearts.

Squard realized that Edward Weevil hadn't unleashed his full strength before, and now he had them completely release it. This guy was truly formidable.

If Squard didn't know the truth, he might believe that this guy was indeed Whitebeard's son.

After all, they bore a striking resemblance, both with crescent-like beards, wielding the same naginata, and displaying strength nearly on par with Whitebeard.

"I think we should keep our distance," 

Whitebay advised cautiously. She, Squard, and the rest of the crew quickly moved to another ship.

Whitebeard nodded, in agreement with what he had in mind. He was concerned that his sons might be inadvertently caught up in the conflict if they stayed.

"Weevil, you should try to calm down, or you'll end up causing more problems for yourself" 

Whitebeard looked at him with a very calm tone, as if he didn't care about his anger and the terrifying power that broke out.

"I want to avenge my mother! I want to kill you all!"

Edward Weevil roared once more, his Haki power distorting the very space around him.

"Don't be foolish. Your so-called mother has always been deceiving you. Her actions are only for her own benefit. You're merely a pawn to her".

Whitebeard's truth hit Weevil like a needle through the heart, leaving him unable to accept it.

"You're not allowed to slander my mother!" 

Edward Weevil vigorously wielded his massive naginata with both hands, radiating an aura of dread with every swing.

The tremendous force made the ship's hull wobble, as if it might shatter at any moment.

A massive Slash Wave emanated from Weevil's naginata, akin to thunder and lightning.

"Hmph, what a lively kid!" 

Whitebeard snorted coldly, and a tremendous shockwave emanated from him, causing the surrounding space to crack and extend like slender tentacles.

The vibrating force clashed with the Slash Wave, instantly producing a tremendous impact, creating a powerful storm at its epicenter that swept through the surroundings.

The sea's surface was suddenly churned into waves, rocking the ships of Squard and the crew.

The ship Whitebeard was on couldn't withstand the force and soon split in half.

Whitebeard and Edward Weevil each stood on one of the halves of the wrecked ship.

"Damn it, I must kill you!" 

Edward Weevil, refusing to concede, faced the overwhelming power of Whitebeard with unwavering determination.

He persisted in his attacks against Whitebeard, who effortlessly countered each of them.

If it weren't for Whitebeard's intention to subdue him, he might have been defeated long ago.

Whitebeard only refrained from finishing him off because he wished to make Weevil his son. However, Edward Weevil appeared somewhat reckless, persistently getting back up even after being defeated by Whitebeard several times.

Their first ship had been entirely sunk by their intense battle, and the two moved to another ship.

"This kind of power is incredibly formidable, and I'm increasingly convinced that the other guy is our Oyaji" 

As he watched the battle, Squard's gaze remained fixed on Whitebeard's every movement. The distinct gestures and style were unmistakably the old man's, impossible for anyone to replicate.

"Yes, I also think that it is very likely to be true, but I still can't figure out how the old man survived. After his death, his Devil Fruit ability should have been acquired by someone else" 

Whitebay admitted, struggling to make sense of it.

"Let's wait until this battle is over. I believe we'll find out from his interactions with us" 

After all, Squard had been the old man's fleet captains for many years. He believed that through direct communication with the old man, he could make a more accurate judgment.

Whitebeard and Edward Weevil continued their battle, with Whitebeard dominating most of the fight, gradually overpowering Edward Weevil.

During this battle, Weevil's body was covered in scars, a testament to the fierce confrontation. If he weren't for his exceptionally strong body, he would have been defeated already.

Despite his formidable regenerative abilities, Edward Weevil was still experiencing intense pain, even with Whitebeard holding back his full strength.

"Enough, Weevil, do you want to continue fighting? If you want to be my son, stop. I don't think you need to pretend to be someone else in the future."

Whitebeard holds a big Naginata in his hand, his body stands tall like a mountain in front of Weevil,and his voice is thunderous

"You killed my mom! I'm not your son!" 

Edward Weevil continued to resist angrily, dragging his tired body and rushing forward.

"clang!"

Whitebeard effortlessly caught Weevil's naginata in his hand and quickly disarmed him.

Whitebeard clenched his fist, slammed the light ball containing the vibration power, and hit Weevil's body heavily.

Edward Weevil was sent flying into the air, blood spewing from his mouth, and his breathing became labored.

Watching Edward Weevil, who now looked somewhat embarrassed, Squard couldn't believe how unstoppable he had appeared just moments before.

Suddenly, Squard had a realization and turned to Whitebay with a questioning look on his face.

"Don't you find it strange that this man's power appears to surpass that of the old man?" 

Squard remarked, her face showing a hint of concern.

As she contemplated the situation, Whitebay pondered further. During the Summit War, the old man seemed to be struggling with his health.

Even without his illness, considering his age, he was naturally less robust.

But the Whitebeard before them hasn't shown any signs of weakness during this entire battle, and all Weevil attacks have been effortless.

He didn't even pause to catch his breath. It's clear that the real Whitebeard wouldn't have had such physical strength.

"Yes, you're right. I almost ignored that. Even if the old man were somehow resurrected, he wouldn't surpass the limitations of his physical condition" 

Whitebay added, puzzled by the situation.

Squard nodded as he followed this line of thought, and another unusual idea crossed his mind.

"Whitebay, I just thought of a possibility, though I'm not sure."

"Go on."

"What if this is a plot by the Marines?"
