Sphinx Island:

The Whitebeard Pirate group, consisting of Whitebeard and his sons; Marco, Jozu, Vista, Oden, Whitey Bay, and Izou, along with Rob and Stussy, who had put on a cat mask, walked towards an abandoned place in the forest behind the village.

They had managed to escape the excited crowd of villagers.

Naturally, the villagers were excited as the most revered icon in their hearts had returned to his homeland after several years.

During his absence, he continued to send them treasures and resources.

"Kozu, are you sure she lives here?" asked Whitebeard.

"Newgate, my information is completely reliable. I have already sent my competent hunters to investigate here and they found her. You didn't find her because she didn't want to reveal her location to you, and because you simply didn't bother looking for her. All you were looking for was more sons," said Rob, smiling.

Whitebeard frowned after hearing that. "I thought she was dead. How can I think of looking for someone who has been dead for a long time?"

"..." Marco and the others felt strange after hearing their father's love story and the tragic events that followed.

"My coup against Captain Xebec was not only because of his evil deeds, which exceeded their limit, but because I heard that he mercilessly killed Stussy because she refused to part with me," Whitebeard continued.

"According to my information, Stussy does not live alone here. There is a child accompanying her. I think it's her son," said Rob with interest.

"What did you say?" the group asked.

They stopped about a hundred meters away from a wooden house located among the trees and surrounded by a series of limestone rocks, for which Sphinx Island is famous.

"I said that your ex-girlfriend does not live alone but has a child to take care of here," Rob repeated.

"Here he is... his name is Edward Weevil... Rob pointed to the child who had just left the house and ran straight towards the foot of the limestone rocks where there is an ant colony.

"As you can see, he has your name, your features, and a strong body even though he is an 11 or 12-year-old child. Doesn't that remind you of something, Newgate?"

"..." Whitebeard's eyes widened as he saw the strangely familiar child and heard what Rob said. "You said his name was Edward Weevil?" he asked.

"Yes, it is..." replied Rob.

"You said that your little maid is a successful clone of the original Buckingham Stussy?" asked Whitebeard.

"Yes, that's true," replied Rob again.

"You mentioned that Stussy deliberately concealed herself and her child from me because she joined one of the emperors of the underworld named Du Feld, who attracted the best scientists in the world to his organization, known as MADS," Whitebeard repeated, seeking confirmation.

"Yes, perhaps... I didn't state that it was the sole reason, but it was one of the factors since the organization was initially a secret one, focusing on human cloning, and they were successful in obtaining this dark technology... Your ex-girlfriend was the first person to be cloned flawlessly, but the world government eventually discovered and dismantled the so-called Laboratory for Peace," Rob responded.

Whitebeard fell silent for a moment before saying, "You, as the author of One Piece, presumably already know the fate of the entire world, so learning a few secrets like this is not unusual. I trust you, so you're implying that Weevil is my biological son, correct?" He spoke with a tone of concern that was not evident.

"Since you agreed to participate in my games world, I am pleased to assist you. Yes, I am confident that Weevil is your son. You may consult with Dr. Vegapunk, who cloned your ex-girlfriend, to verify this," said Rob, smiling.

"No need, I am certain now," Whitebeard declared.

Suddenly, a blonde woman with blue eyes emerged from the wooden house, and the dishes in her hands fell to the ground as she was startled by the sight of the familiar towering man among the group of people.

"Newgate..." she exclaimed in amazement, the name that she had not forgotten for even one day.

...

After a day in the Wano Country,

The anticipation was palpable as everyone eagerly awaited the new episode of Demon Slayer.

The excitement was particularly high as the previous episode featured the epic battle between Tanjiro and Nezuko against Rui, a powerful spider demon and one of the lower moons.

The episode started as the battle reached its climax... the intense emotions of the storyline caused many viewers to shed tears.

The drama was heart-wrenching, and the viewers were captivated by the brilliant storytelling and exquisite animation of this phenomenal anime.

However, as with all good things, the episode had to come to an end. Nevertheless, the impact of the story and the anticipation for the next episode will remain with the viewers until the next installment of this extraordinary anime.

"Demon Slayer" Events:

—————————

"Blood Demon Art," when Nezuko said that a mysterious red fire, attacked the lower moon demon Rui, causing him to become disoriented.

Tanjiro took advantage of this moment to cut Rui's hard neck ferociously with his sword, saying, "The bond between Nezuko and me cannot be severed by anyone!"

After a deadly battle, Rui's head flew apart from his body, and Nezuko's body fell to the ground as the restraints binding her disappeared.

"Nezuko! Nezuko! I-I won! I won!" Tanjiro exclaimed.

"My father saved me! I am not sure why I was able to unleash that attack with the kagura that has been in our family for generations. But that is what saved me! I was able to beat him!" Tanjiro said.

...

..

"Even though I chopped off his head?" he questioned as Rui's decapitated body continued walking towards him.

Despite being down on the ground, Tanjiro did not stop feeling his body. Using threads to pull his head off the ground, Rui spoke, saying, "You thought you'd defeated me? Poor kid."

"Did your pathetic delusion bring you joy?" Rui continued, "I cut off my head myself with my own threads before you could chop it off."

"Enough," Rui said, as he paused before continuing, "I'll kill both you and your sister."

"I haven't been this enraged in a long time," Rui continued.

When Tanjiro was almost killed, Tomiyoka's rescuer finally arrived and said, "You did a good job holding out until I got here. Leave the rest to me."

Rui felt angry at the arrival of another human and said, "You're like an endless stream of lowlifes always getting in my way!"

"Blood Demon Art, Cutting Thread Rotation!" Rui attacked Tomioka with many bloody threads.

However, Tomioka was as calm as calm water and said, "Total Concentration, Water Breathing, Eleventh Form, Dead Calm."

The raging ocean surrounding him turned into complete stillness.

Tanjiro was shocked after hearing that, "Eleventh Form?"

While Rui did not care and said, "Who cares about your Eleventh Form?"

But when he saw his strongest attacks cut smoothly without the other party moving his sword made he was terrified.

'What's going on?'

'What did he do?' Rui thought.

'The instant I got up in his face, the threads scattered.'

'Not one of them reached him?'

'The toughest threads of all got slashed?'

"That's impossible!" Rui shouted.

"One more time!"

These were his last words before he was easily beheaded when he blinked for the last time in his life.

•———•———•———•———•———•———•———•

"..." As the battle reached its climax, one of the spectators had poured out the Sake he was about to drink, completely captivated by the amazing spectacle before him.

"I thought Tanjiro was done for, but who could have anticipated Giyuu-san arriving just in time?" he exclaimed.

"Wow, he's chopping through the demon like vegetables with such ease!" another spectator marveled.

"This is the difference between an ordinary demon hunter and a Hashira! It's terrifying!" a third onlooker added.

"The Water Hashira is already so powerful. I can't even imagine what the other Hashiras are capable of," someone else remarked.

"Let's not forget that the demon he killed was only a lower moon. What about the upper moons? And Muzan?" another spectator questioned, clearly shaken by the thought.

"Could the demon king really be that strong?" someone else wondered aloud.

As the reactions of the viewers filled the air, Mihawk and Issho listened in, both shaking their heads in disbelief at the scene playing out before them.

"I really want to know more about the background of that lower moon. Why did he so desperately want a family, even if it meant resorting to intimidation?" Issho mused.

"Well, his flashback is already playing out. But since he's dead now, I have no interest in his story. What truly interests me is that man's sword. I wonder who would win if I were to fight him," Mihawk said, his gaze fixed on Tomioka's sword.

"Haha, there's no question that you would win. Your Getsugaya is incredibly powerful," Issho laughed before adding.

"Don't overdo your praise, I'm still very weak," said Mihawk.

"Don't sell yourself short. You're still very strong," replied Issho.
