51. Morgans’ visit. A deal with information of Pure Gold on the line.
│3rd Person POV│
[Grand Line, New World, Beehive Island, Ochoku Pirates Headquarters…]
"Hmph! Trash!"
With a cold snort, Ochoku glared at the entire audience, extremely dissatisfied with the guys that he had just recruited.
After all, they were big-name pirates, and they were so afraid of Whitebeard even before they met him face-to-face.
But he could also see that these guys really didn't dare to face Whitebeard. After all, the gap between them and Whitebeard was so big that it couldn't even be imagined.
Thinking of this, Ochoku suppressed the anger in his heart and said, "Just leave Whitebeard to me.
"You guys only need to deal with Marco and other Commanders. If you can't do such a simple thing, then there is no need for you to live."
As soon as these words came out, everyone present breathed a sigh of relief.
Including Ochoku's Vice-Captain was no exception.
No need to deal with Whitebeard. This was great news for them.
As for Marco and the other Commanders, although they were not weak in strength, to be honest, they were not that afraid of dealing with them.
"No problem!"
"Leave Vista to me, and I will let him know what cruelty is!"
"Leave Jozu to me. I want to see if his defense is really invincible."
In an instant, Snow Leopard and others spoke up one after another.
Without any hesitation, they all selected opponents they could deal with.
Ochoku's Vice-Captain also quietly said at this moment, "Ochoku-sama, I am your first mate. Therefore, it's my job to deal with Marco!"
As his words fell, the previous cadres of the Ochoku Pirates also spoke.
"Don't worry, boss, we will definitely annihilate those guys from the Whitebeard Pirates."
"Yes, boss, we will definitely prevent those guys from aiding Whitebeard."
"We will never let those from the Whitebeard Pirates interfere with the battle between you and Whitebeard, boss."
In an instant, the members of the Ochoku Pirates, who were originally terrified, became confident.
Only Ochoku, who was sitting in the main seat, twitched his lips.
These guys actually agreed without hesitation.
Although he was not afraid of fighting Whitebeard alone, he had to acknowledge Whitebeard's strength.
But he had already said such cruel words, and as such, it was impossible to take them back at this moment.
"Good!"
Taking a deep breath, Ochoku said solemnly, "Then this matter is settled! Leave Whitebeard to me, and I will leave the rest of the Whitebeard Pirates to you.
"I hope you won't disappoint me. This matter allows only success and no failure."
"Yes!"
"Yes!"
Hearing this, all the officers of the Ochoku Pirates present responded.
As long as they weren't facing off against Whitebeard, they didn't care about anything else.
Seeing this, Ochoku didn't waste any time.
With a big wave of his hand, he stood up and said, "Get ready to fight!"

[Grand Line, New World, Moby Dick…]
On the other side, the Whitebeard Pirates have arrived in the sea area just ten kilometers away from Beehive Island.
As the Beehive Island was getting closer, the Whitebeard Pirates also received an uninvited guest.
"Morgans, what are you doing here?"
Looking at the figure flying in the sky, Whitebeard frowned and he was not in a good mood.
At the same time, Marco and others also came forward from the side, their eyes locked on Morgans, and their expressions were extremely unkind.
Only Ron's eyes were full of doubts and confusion at this moment.
Morgans!
The president of the World Economy News Paper and an Emperor of the Underworld, Big News Morgans, stepped forward.
It can be said that his personal strength may not be that high, but his background and influence were not inferior to any Emperor of the sea.
The most important thing was that this guy controls the World Economy News Paper, an existence that could control public opinion worldwide.
Even the world government wouldn't cross him without ensuring that they could take him out in one swoop.
Now, this guy suddenly appeared here, as the Whitebeard Pirates and the Ochoku Pirates were about to have a decisive battle.
It was not a simple matter, no matter how you look at it.
"Whitebeard!"
Morgans elegantly landed in front of them and after bowing to Whitebeard, he said, "I came here to make a deal with you!
"I want to record the entire battle between you and Ochoku. In exchange, I can give you some information."
Frowning, Whitebeard took a deep look at Morgans and said, "What information? If the value of the information is not enough, then you are not qualified to say such words."
It was not just Whitebeard. Ron and others also looked at Morgans curiously at this moment. They didn't know what kind of information he held, but he appeared so confident.
Recording and reporting on the war between the two top pirate groups, Whitebeard and Ochoku, was not a simple matter.
No one among them wanted to let others know their situation, and no one wanted to reveal the secrets of their own pirate group.
Once agreed, the situation of the Whitebeard Pirates would be completely exposed for the world to see, and the consequences would be unimaginable.
As the Emperor of the Underworld, it was impossible for Morgans not to know this.
But he still dared to say it, and even appeared here, which showed that he held information that was enough to convince Whitebeard.
"Pure gold! I got the information about Pure Gold, and I know where it will appear! As long as you agree, I can sell this news to you exclusively!"
Without any nonsense, Morgans said every word while staring straight at Whitebeard.
"Pure gold?"
"What is that?"
"What the hell? This guy is here to sell information about some gold?"
Hearing this, Marco and the other Commander looked at each other, completely unaware of the value of the information Morgans mentioned.
Even Whitebeard was a little stumped.
"Do you really mean what you say?"
However, Ron in the crowd could not sit still and stepped forward and asked, "Is it really Pure Gold you are talking about?"
Pure Gold! One of the very few ways to extend one's lifespan in the world of One Piece.
In the TV Special, One Piece: Heart of Gold, the Straw Hat Pirates encountered a Giant Footballfish named Bonbori, which had the island Alchemi in its stomach and the Pure Gold in its esca.
If Luffy in the Special episode knew the use of Pure Gold, he could have been able to completely resolve the flaw in his Gear Second that consumed his lifespan with Pure Gold.
It was a pity that the Straw Hat Pirates at that time did not have this awareness, which also resulted in Pure Gold passing them by.
But it was a different matter now.
If Whitebeard acquired Pure Gold, not only would he stop aging, but it would also stop his condition from worsening anymore.
At that time, Whitebeard would not grow old day by day, and he may even recover his strength if Marco or Ron awakened the Phoenix Fruit afterward.
On top of that, since Morgans came with information about Pure Gold, that means the events of Heart of Gold may also happen in the future.
"Ron, you know what he is talking about?"
"Ron, can you tell us what Pure Gold is?"
"Ron, what does this Pure Gold do?"
Seeing Ron suddenly becoming agitated, Marco and the others asked one after another.
Although they don't know exactly why, Marco and others didn't think it was a simple thing to make Ron so excited!
