Chapter 184: The [Mother] of the Whitebeard Pirates

"Kurozumi?"

Whitebeard didn't get angry because of Adrian's words that were full of challenge, but instead fell into a state of reminiscence.

On the other hand, most of the other pirates of the Whitebeard Pirates looked ugly and shouted after hearing Adrian's arrogant words.

"Old man!"

"Let us teach this arrogant rookie a lesson for you!"

Adrian remained indifferent, not even lifting his eyelids, too lazy to even look at these 'sons', but of course, there was 'Blackbeard' Marshall D. Teach.

After all, he was the only one in the original story with two Devil Fruit power.

And perhaps, in the future, he could become the ultimate antagonist, a triple Devil Fruit that most fans hypothesized, maybe the third being a Zoan type.

Marshall D. Teach's body must be hiding many secrets!

But if you want to find out, you might need to skin and dissect Teach to come to a conclusion, and it might not even be successful.

The current Teach is just a King of the Cockroaches.

Having been in the Whitebeard Pirate crew for so many years, he hasn't even gotten his bounty or even his face shown. The marines may not even know of his exxistance.

But speaking of this, Adrian is still a little curious.

How did Whitebeard Pirates manage to have a 'battle of three days and three nights' with the Roger Pirates?

Apart from 'Gol D. Roger', the strength of 'Silver Rayleigh' and 'Scopper Gaban' of the Roger Pirates is not to be underestimated!

Did they really rely on Whitebeard alone to carry the team? {Blink, blink…..??????}

Or was it because Kozuki Oden, who had left Whitebeard's pirate crew at that time?

Just as Whitebeard's pirate crew was in a frenzy, Whitebeard snapped out of his reminiscence.

He waved to stop his sons' commotion and looked calmly at Adrian.

"Gurararara... Ghost boy, where did you hear the name 'Kurozumi'?"

Adrian looked around, with a playful expression, his gaze stopping for a moment on a young figure wearing a brown patch newsboy hat and having explosive long hair.

"Whitebeard, are you sure it's okay to publicly mention that pirate crew's name on this ship?"

Marshall D. Teach suddenly became a little tense, he had just noticed that the gaze of the pirate with a bounty of over 600 million beli seemed to have intentionally stopped on him.

Whitebeard calmly said: "What secret can't be spoken among family members on a ship?"

"Well, since you don't seem to mind."

Adrian shrugged.

"The Rocks Pirates!"

Whitebeard's eyes focused, "So you do know!"

"Of course, it is the strongest pirate crew in history."

Adrian slowly said the information that sounded like a revelation to the other members of the Whitebeard Pirates.

"'Whitebeard' Edward Newgate, 'Gold Lion' Shiki, 'BIG MOM' Charlotte Linlin, 'Captain John'... and even above these pirates whose names shake the world, the pirate captain, 'Rocks D. Xebec'!!"

As for the young and cute ones who haven't made much of a name for themselves yet, it was only natural for Adrian to overlook them.

The other members of the Whitebeard Pirates were instantly in an uproar.

"What? Dad and Shiki were on the same ship before?"

"And that BIG MOM!"

"Who exactly is this person named Rocks, why does his name sound so strange? And this pirate crew is actually named after him!"

The only member of the D clan on the Whitebeard pirate ship, Marshall D. Teach, had a drastic change in expression.

This was the only other D he had heard of besides Monkey D. Garp.

And this D was actually the captain of Old Man!

Indeed, D is the destiny! {fansxplaining concepts and Authoxplaining}

Marshall D. Teach lowered his head and pressed his hand against his hat, trying to cover up the intense ambition that was constantly flowing in his eyes.

Suddenly hearing the name that had not been mentioned for a long time.

Whitebeard was silent for a moment, "Ghost kid, tell me your name."

"Adrian."

"A·D·Ryan?"

What the hell is AD Ryan?!

If I were called this name, I'd rather change it to AD Calcium! {Its an advertisement from Author? Googled, found it was real.}

"No, I don't have a hidden name, nor am I a member of the so-called 'D Clan', I just know more about some more widely circulated things on the sea."

Whitebeard said: "This level of intelligence, it's not just that you can explain it in a few simple sentences."

"I said, I just know more about things that are more widely circulated." Adrian shrugged, with a love-it-or-not attitude.

"Just like how I am not sure whether Kurozumi Higurashi and Kurozumi Semimaru were indeed members of the Rocks Pirates back then."

{Found this in wiki - 'Higurashi seemed to be acquainted with Kaidou since his Rocks Pirates days and approached him 10 years after the God Valley Incident with an offer of cooperation'}

Speaking of these two figures from Wano Country with the surname Kurozumi, some people might find them unfamiliar.

But in fact, they were the real masterminds behind successfully placing 'Kurozumi Orochi' on the throne as the new shogun of Wano Country!

At the same time, these two also had another identity.

Kurozumi Higurashi, the previous user of the Paramecia-type Clone-Clone Fruit.

Kurozumi Semimaru, the previous user of the Paramecia-type Barrier-Barrier Fruit.

Thinking of this, Adrian added.

"They might have used false names at that time, but what can be confirmed is that one of them was a Clone-Clone Fruit user who could freely imitate the appearance, body shape, and voice of anyone they had previously touched; the other was a Barrier-Barrier Fruit user who could create an absolute defense barrier." {Translator confirmed}

This interesting fact, once buried in history, intrigued the members of the Whitebeard Pirates, who listened intently without interrupting further.

In this silence, Whitebeard slowly spoke.

"Little ghost, the two guys you're talking about were indeed members of the Rocks Pirates, but after that incident, they completely disappeared without a trace."

Adrian slowly nodded, his inner doubts resolved.

Immediately, he asked the next question.

"So, Miss Buckin, is really the 'Mom' of the Whitebeard Pirates?"

"Eh——??"

"Mom?!!!!"

The members of the Whitebeard Pirates, who had been engrossed in the story, were instantly dumbfounded.

Adrian raised his right hand, and a mimetic ghost slowly appeared above his palm, continuously changing according to his thoughts.

"Bright yellow hair, slender willow eyebrows, emerald green eyes, and passionate flaming red lips… an extraordinary beauty!"

Moments later, the image of a beautiful and glamorous woman appeared in Adrian's palm.

Whitebeard's eyes narrowed as he took a huge step forward, raising the 'Murakumogiri'.

A mass of translucent shockwave power condensed on the blade of Murakumogiri, accompanied by the dense sound of cracking space around it.

"Ghost brat, you really are——"

"I heard that Miss Buckin even has a child."

An incomparable power combined with an unparalleled shockwave force surged into the sky, spreading deep cracks across thousands of meters in the sky, making it seem as if the sky had completely shattered.

"This is truly amazing!"
