277. A Cure

Alexander walked up to Ace and knocked on his head, "Boy, no matter how much you run, you can't get away from my fist of love. Now go and write a letter to your mother. I'll give it to her."

He then looked around at everyone's tense faces, "Hahaha, what's the problem, everyone? I didn't come here to fight. I was just having a friendly spar with Mihawk after destroying the Germa Kingdom."

Everyone's eyes popped out and jaws fell on his normalization of such big events.

"Gurararara... who won?" Whitebeard asked from his big throne. Alexander was 13 feet tall and Whitebeard was 20 ft. So Alexander also increased his size and became 20.1 feet tall as he didn't feel good being shorter than him. But Alexander also noticed various patches and medical equipment connected to his body.

"Of course I won. Mihawk also joined my Golden Justice Army now." He blurted.

"Truly, the strongest man alive. Roger told me about you, that you are not like other Marines. Now look, so many Celestial Dragons are dead and you are personally leading the world's strongest anti-government force." Whitebeard praised.

Alexander also conjured himself a nice chair and sat down. "Boy, you are too young to praise me. I remember you, Roger and Garp being newbies when I was already a veteran. Now, let's grab a drink."

Whitebeard was always a sucker for good wine.

He took out the huge barrel of Firewhiskey. Whitebeard smelled it and exclaimed, "Haha, this is the highest quality stuff I have ever smelled. What is this called?"

"This is my own home-brewed Firewhiskey." He replied and poured for both of them. But then Ace came and handed him a letter.

Alexander took it and blatantly opened it, "Ace-chan, this won't do. You need to write 'I love you' at the end. And why haven't you mentioned Robby? He basically changed your diapers when you were just a poop factory. Go and write another one."

Everyone chuckled at Ace being treated like a small child and Ace also diligently obeying.

Alexander then waved his hand and barrels upon barrels appeared on the deck, "Why are you standing boys, pour yourself some too. Today's treat is on me."

Soon the mood on the ship turned into a big party. Alexander also looked at Whitebeard's sins.

||Edward Newgate - Category 2

~Haha, and he's labeled a pirate.~

"I see you have made Roger's son your own. Don't know if he'd be happy or sad if he knew this." Alexander commented.

"Ah, Roger was a good man. He was my rival but a respectable man. He had told me once, 'A child shouldn't be blamed for their parents' deeds,' I'm just following that. And look, my family became so big slowly." Whitebeard answered.

"Hah, yeah, you do have some good kids. I've got many kids too." Alexander boasted.

"Oh, how many?" Whitebeard asked.

"I don't know, maybe thousands." Alexander confusedly said. He considered everyone in Phixheim and his closest people except, Olivia, Dobby, and Ragnarok his children.

"Damn, you even left Big Mom behind by a huge margin." Whitebeard made a horrified face.

"Wait, wait, you are taking it wrong. Only one of them is my biological child. All the others are adopted. Though I see them all as just the same." He clarified.

"Hahaha, should've said that earlier, old man. By the way, how are you still looking the same as 20 years ago? What happened to growing old and dying?" He asked.

"I guess I'm just blessed. I don't feel old at all." Alexander answered by stretching his arms a bit.

"*Sigh* Yes, blessed you may be." He responded.

"You know, the disease you have is curable," Alexander stated out of the blue. Everyone that was interested in their talking and secretly listening had their brows lifted up.

Especially the first division commander, Marco. He was the right-hand man of Whitebeard and knew about his grave illness.

"Really, old man? Can Pops be treated?" He asked.

"Of course, I died for making that damn drug," Alexander replied while remembering bitter memories.

"Newgate, my boy. You have cancer. A disease caused by an uncontrolled division of abnormal cells in a part of the body. This is why your hair fell and you feel weaker." He explained.

Whitebeard now really felt a ray of hope, but he knew that nothing comes free. "What do I need to do to get the medicine?"

"Haha, nothing much, child. I want you to stop the life of a pirate and live honestly. I know why you became a pirate. Once I take over East Blue, South Blue, and Paradise, I'll come to this part. I want you to stop being a pirate by then. You will not have to worry about anything either as no Heavenly tribute will be required for protection from any island.

"I will also be getting rid of all the pirates." He announced.

Whitebeard looked at his sons and they looked at him back and said, "Pops, we'll always be with you, no matter what you decide." Marco stated.

"Hahaha, I am so lucky to have sons like you. But our family is not defined by being a pirate. It is defined by staying together. As long as we are together, we are family. Besides, I don't want us all to forever live with a bounty on our heads. Let's settle down after he comes to the New World. I will protect you all from any harm as long as I am alive. That's what family does, so no worries." Whitebeard announced.

Alexander clapped for him proudly, "Haha, you are right, kid, you may have grown up without a family but the honor and beliefs I see in you are many times better than those with rich upbringings.

"Newgate, you're a kid that any father would feel proud to call his son. I will not let you worry about any kind of protection, I will protect your island, you and your children from all harms, you have my promise"

Whitebeard's eyes sparkled as if they had become watery. When he looked at Alexander's face, for the first time in his life, he felt like he could rest easy. That he didn't need to constantly worry and be on edge that someone might come and kill his only family or betray him like Teach.

~Is this what having parents feels like?~ he asked himself.

Alexander then took out a set of pills and handed them to him, "This is the medicine that will cure you. Eat one dose every morning and evening. Also, drink this and this. The red one is a blood replenishing medicine that helps regenerate the lost blood and this other one is a body strengthening potion.

"Now get off of your old soggy ass and hug your old man. You're just in your sixties for god's sake, you're young."

Whitebeard really got up and gave Alexander a bear hug, "Hahaha... thanks, old man. I will never forget this help."

"It's alright, kid. Just consider it a birthday gift for whenever it comes." Alexander said and patted his shoulder.

Then Ace also came and finally handed him his letter. Alexander again shamelessly read it and embarrassed him.

"Hmmm... let's see, '...I miss you and I love you...' Good job, Ace-chan. This will surely make your mama happy. Okay, I'll be leaving now. Take care, kids." He said and left the huge ship.

Whitebeard then looked at all his sons, "Listed kids, we all will go back to the island and train for the upcoming war when he takes over the world. I have decided to support him and for that, we need to get stronger as much as possible."

...

The Shichibukai system was good but not for every kingdom. Especially not for the ones like Alabasta.

Crocodile had started his Baroque Works and slowly took over the Kingdom through underhanded means. He wanted to find the ancient weapon called Pluton that he somehow found out about and use it to rule the world.

...

Meanwhile, Alexander was finalizing his plans for truly taking over the 1st half of the world.

A large sweep operation was going to be led by his entire Golden Justice Army. Even Z had now come to join him as he now didn't have anything to do at the training center.

Their plan was simple, Z would sweep the East Blue, Kong would do that with the South Blue and he and Dobby would go with the middle and the most dangerous part, the Paradise.
