Chapter 101 The new QnA live broadcast starts.

At the mention of 'Pop', Whitebeard's pupils suddenly contracted as he recalled the moment when Teach boarded the ship twenty-six years ago, as well as the bits and pieces of Teach's time in the Whitebeard Pirates.

He grabbed Teach and slammed him onto the deck, but the ability of the Shock Shock Fruit suddenly disappeared from his hand.

Then, he held Teach, who had blood dripping from the corner of his mouth, Hung him in mid-air, and looked into Teach's eyes as he spoke:

"From today onwards, you and I will cut off our relationship, and you are no longer my son. I am no longer... your Father. From now on, whatever you do, wherever you go, has nothing to do with the Whitebeard Pirates. If you ever dare to harm anyone from the Whitebeard Pirates in the future, I will kill you with my own hand.

This is your last chance. Get lost."

After saying that, Whitebeard threw Teach outside of the Moby Dick, and a splash sounded on the surface of the sea.

The members of the Whitebeard Pirates looked at their Father, and they didn't say anything despite knowing that the one feeling the most pain at this moment was their Pop.

In the end, their Pop couldn't bring himself to go through with it.

Meanwhile, Teach, after being thrown out of the Moby Dick, crashed into the sea. floated back up from beneath the water, and he looked up at the starry night sky.

A smirk appeared on Teach's face as he faced the night sky.

He had survived!

Jiehahahahaha

...

On the moon, Luke witnessed this scene.

As expected, Whitebeard did not kill Teach.

Luke was not surprised by this outcome.

During the war at Marineford, after Ace's death due to Teach's betrayal, Whitebeard's pirate near destruction and Whitebeard himself was also nearing his end. At the final moment, Teach appeared to kill him.

However, Teach was fought back by Whitebeard and was about to be kill. Even then, Whitebeard couldn't bring himself to kill Teach.

Now, expecting Whitebeard to take action against Teach, who caused had not cause anything of the sort yet and only seeing it on Live Broadcast, it was highly unlikely he will go for it. Protecting his crew and being sentimental were Whitebeard's greatest strengths, but they were also his greatest weaknesses.

In the end, Whitebeard didn't kill Teach; he only beat him up and expelled him from the Whitebeard Pirates.

This meant that Teach and the Whitebeard Pirates had no more connection, severing all connections between them.

Luke didn't really care about this outcome. For him, keeping Teach alive was more useful. After all, Teach was considered a major antagonist in the pirate world. If he were to die at this point, it wouldn't have an impact and might attract unnecessary attention from the World's Will.

Furthermore, Teach being alive had no imoact on Luke. The "harvest" from the Marineford War had already been completed, and now Luke needed to find the next batch to harvest.

Another thing that pleasantly surprised Luke was that after the sealing progress exceeded 25%, the space expanded several times compared to before. He could even capture a few animals from the pirate world to keep as pets, making his life a little less boring.

Moreover, he was no longer restricted by the limitations of space. He could directly bring people over to his side for QnA and send them back after they were done.

For this purpose, Luke had the system create a dedicated room as a venue for QnA.

While Luke was on the moon, thinking about who to choose as the next QnA participant, the world in the pirate world underwent many changes due to the Impact of the QnA broadcast.

First of all, Whitebeard's final word in the Marineford War sparked fire among people all over the world.

Apart from those who already wanted to set sail as pirates to seek treasure, many others set out to find ONE PIECE with the intention of overthrowing the World Government. This included individuals directed by both allied and non-allied country kings and nobles.

For a while, the seas became lively once again.

With the pirates being active, the Marines also became busy.

Fortunately, the Marines did not deplete their forces significantly due to the Marineford War. Therefore, they didn't appear too helpless when faced with this new wave.

As for the position of Fleet Admiral, Sengoku did not have the intention to resign for now. He realized that if he were to step down, the Marines would a major sources of power, and the consequences for Akainu wouldn't be good either. It wasn't an ideal situation for the current Marines, so he decided to continue working.

Except for Akainu, everyone else agreed with this result. They didn't want to see Akainu and Aokiji fight to the death over the position of Fleet Admiral.

As for Aokiji, he received a severe warning for joining Blackbeard's pirate crew, but there were no further troubles afterwards.

However, there was another matter that gave Sengoku a headache. Zephyr returned from the Grand Line and questioned him about how someone like Weevil could become one of Shichibukai in the future.

Sengoku couldn't provide Zephyr with an answer because the decision to appoint Shichibukai was made by the World Government, and the Marines only had to follow the arrangement.

Naturally, Zephyr was furious about it, but fortunately, the matter hadn't been finalized yet, and Sengoku managed to pacify him through persuasion.

After all, the matter of Weevil becoming one of Shichibukai has not yet become a reality, so there is still room for change the future.

However, this incident has made Zephyr's thing to thing individually, hinting at a tendency to break away from the Marines, which makes Sengoku feel somewhat uneasy.

Zephyr holds a special position in the Marines. He is the mentor of all the young Marines, and he is highly respected and revered by them. In their eyes, his status is even higher than that of an Vice Admiral like Garp.

If Zephyr wants to leave the Marines, the Five Elders will not sit idly by.

Even Aokiji and Garp were persuaded by the Marines to stay when they wanted to resigned, in order to prevent a situation like the one with Admiral Aokiji, where a retired Marine joins the ranks of the pirates.

If things truly develop to that extent, it would be the saddest time for the Marines.

On the side of the Five Elders, they are still arranging for the Cipher Pol and the Marines to intensify their efforts to search Luke's whereabouts.

On the pirate side, the Whitebeard Pirates have begun searching everywhere for Weevil's whereabouts, but it found now clue, it's look like Weevil and his Mom is on the run and hiding from the Whitebeards Pirate

The New World has not caused any major problems for now.

As for the East Blue, Dragon and Sabo have found Luffy.

Sabo and Luffy, the two brothers, meet again, and this reunion is naturally tearful and joyful. They promise to reunite with Ace in the future.

And Luffy and the Straw Hat Pirates finally meet Luffy's legendary father, the world's most dangerous criminal, Monkey D. Dragon.

Dragon's purpose in coming to find Luffy is to ensure his safe entry into the Grand Line.

While encouraging Luffy to find Raftel and become the Pirate King, Dragon also imparts some knowledge about Haki to Luffy and his crew, such as awakening, developing, and controlling it, to better prepare them for their journey.

Dragon puts his hope in Luffy, as the Revolutionary Army currently doesn't have the time to search for the One Piece, the treasure of the Pirate King. They can only hope that Luffy will find Raftel and discover something that can overthrow the World Government.

After the meeting, they part ways in Loguetown.

The Straw Hat Pirates successfully enter the Grand Line by passing through Reverse Mountain, just like in the original storyline.

And at the beginning, they encounter Miss Wednesday, who joins the Baroque Works to uncover who is behind the incidents in Alabasta.

At this time, Luke is searching for the next suitable target for his live QnA Broadcast. When he sees Vivi, he suddenly remembers that the Alabasta incident is about to begin.

As a result, the large screen for the live QnA Broadcast, which had disappeared for a while, reappears in front of people all over the world.

Everyone is amazed, shocked, delighted, and excited as they watch the appearance of this screen. Although it has only appeared three times, everyone is deeply impressed because it means that the live QnA Broadcast is starting again.

People from all over the world, from the East Blue, West Blue, South Blue, North Blue, Marineford, and the New World...

Who will participate in the QnA this time?

All eyes are fixed on the pitch-black screen in mid-air.

...

Meanwhile, in the city of Yuba, located in the kingdom of Alabasta along the first half of the Grand Line...

Crocodile, still wearing his coat and smoking a cigar in the scorching desert, is staring blankly ahead.

Just a few seconds ago, there was a woman standing in front of him, reporting on the recent situation in Alabasta.

However, due to the recent disturbances caused by the live QnA Broadcast and the World Government and Marines being distracted by the mysterious individual known as Luke, Crocodile feels that it's time to close the net.

He can't let it drag on any longer, because the longer it takes, the more complications may arise.

Therefore, he has gathered the executives of Baroque Works to prepare for a major operation in Alabasta, the final step in their long-planned conspiracy to seize control of the kingdom.

However, the secretary who was just reporting the movements in Alabasta has disappeared.

And this secretary is none other than the infamous Devil Child, Nico Robin, with a bounty of 79 million berries on her head.

Right before his eyes, this woman vanished without a trace, and he didn't even have time to react.

Once he realizes what has happened, Crocodile's face instantly darkens. What could have happened?

Where did Nico Robin, someone as crucial as her to his plan, go?

The so-called conspiracy to seize control of the kingdom is just a smokescreen. His true goal is to smoothly take over Alabasta and then find the Poneglyph that can pinpoint the ancient weapon Pluton, hidden by the Nefertari royal family.

The only person in the world capable of deciphering those Poneglyph is Nico Robin, the Devil Child. Without her, even if he finds it, it will be in vain.

He planned to have Nico Robin decipher the Poneglyph, locate Pluton, and then use Alabasta as a starting point to establish his ideal nation.

His ambitions are not limited to Alabasta alone; his ultimate goal is the world.

But now, his main key, Nico Robin, is missing.

Where could she be?! Crocodile's face darkens even more as he starts searching frantically. Then he becomes aware of the news about the appearance of a massive screen in Yuba.

The disappearance of Nico Robin coincided with the appearance of the screen. He has a foreboding feeling in his heart.

Crocodile quickly rushes toward the large screen.

By now, the screen has transitioned from black to a scene depicting a room adorned with a mysterious and historical atmosphere.

In the room, there is a table, and sitting at the head of the table is a man, is Luke. Across from him sits a woman.

When Crocodile sees the face of the woman clearly, he freezes in place.

This woman is none other than Nico Robin, who had just vanished from in front of him.
