Warlord Edward Weevil

A Few Minutes Later…

[Karya Village Port, Turtle Shell Island – New World]

If you sail a few minutes ahead from the previous battlefield you're going to reach an island with a huge mountain at the center shaped like a turtle shell. The island is location of Majiatsuka Kingdom, a prominent kingdom affiliated with the World Government that encompasses the entirety of Turtle Shell Island.

The vast majority of the population lives in a large city surrounded with tall stone walls at the northern shore of the island. There are also a few small villages scattered across the island, with one village that has a small port in the southern shores of the island.

At Karya Village port, the Whitey Bay Pirates, aboard the Icebreaker ship, were the initial arrivals. Soon after, Whitey Bay had her shipwrights to work on repairing their vessel.

"Is it gonna take long?" She asked.

"No, it will be done in a few hours"

"Good…in the meanwhile I have to go find that person. Last time I've heard that he was in this island, I will confront him!" Whitey Bay announced with a determined expression as she stepped off her ship. The villagers watched her cautiously from afar "But it doesn't look like we're welcomed here"

"Captain!! The Eustass Pirates have arrived as well!!" one of her crew members alerted. She swiftly turned to the sea and spotted the Victoria Punk nearing the port.

"Eustass Pirates, are they here to cause more trouble?" Whitey Bay pondered as she gazed at them with a confident face.

Kai and the crew glanced back at her direction before the former turned to his crew "Let's drop the anchor here and take break!"

"Good timing, we're almost out of supplies" Killer stated.

"That's because Bonney eats a week worth of food in one day" Krieg said, staring at her with annoyance "You should control yourself or one day you'll leave us starving in the middle of the sea!"

"Shut up! Kid eats a lot as well why don't you tell him that?! Or are you afraid?" Bonney smirked while saying that.

"The hell did you say you little shit?!"

"Enough bickering you two!..." Killer yelled at the two "…now is not the time"

"Oh yeah, Krieg, Wire, did you guys test your new abilities yet?" Kai asked the two.

Krieg shook his head "No yet, I didn't want to accidentally damage the ship. I'll find an empty spot in this island and try it out"

"I guess we'll have to find you some practice targets, what about you?" Kai shifting his attention to Wire.

"I have an idea what this fruit's power is, but I still need time to get familiar with it" Wire responded.

"Good, I want you to use your free time to train with your fruits. You need to be ready for the war on that island, we all need to be ready for that…after all, the person we're targeting is very strong" Kai stated with a serious face.

Kid calmly looked at him before he said "We should call Crocodile to join us, we're allies after all. Better make use of it while we can"

"You're right, we need all the help we can. That place is notoriously known for the insane amount of pirates that may come swarming out like bees with no end" Kai stated "Let's discuss this later. Right now, I just want to relax for a bit"

The crew proceeded to disembark after that, the Victoria Punk was docked on the opposite side of the Icebreaker and the two crews soon found themselves confronting each other at the port.

Whitey Bay stepped forward, addressing the twins "I appreciate what you did before, whether you were trying to help us or not. However, if you try anything funny while we are here, I won't hesitate to kill you, do you understand?"

She squinted at Kai and Kid, eager for their replies. Gripping the hilt of her sheathed sword, she stood watchful, with her crew positioned behind, ready to fend off any potential threat. However, Kai simply beamed a friendly smile before giving his response.

"Ohh! you're the previous member of Whitebeard Pirates, 'Ice Witch' Whitey Bay. I've seen you fight in the Summit War of Marineford, you had quite the entrance" Kai said, recalling her actions back then. She managed to break through Admiral Aokiji's ice and Marineford's wall with her ship the 'Icebreaker'.

She flinched at the mention of Whitebeard's name "Sigh…The 'Worst Generation', you guys caused a big steer after what you and Straw Hat did in Sabaody a year and a half ago. Some even say that one of you will be the next Pirate King, but I call that bullshit…you may become strong, but I can never imagine you becoming as strong as Oyaji or Roger was"

'You couldn't even figure out that one of your crewmates is a traitor and you think you can figure out who the next Pirate King will be?' is what Kai wanted to say, but he didn't.

"You say that, but you never know. By the way, I heard you guys got defeated by Blackbeard a few months ago, that must suck after all he did" Kai was referring to the Pay Back War that happened 6 months ago where the remnants of Whitebeard Pirates lead by Marco sought revenge against Blackbeard and they ultimately got defeated and officially disbanded.

"If you ever mention that name again, I'll slice you in half!!" Whitey Bay's veins bulged in anger upon mentioning Blackbeard and she quickly reached for her weapon, but before she could draw it Kai's sword was already aimed at her neck.

He looked at her with a menacing look "The next time you try that, your head will be rolling on the ground"

"Captain Bay!!" Her crew members tried to attack him, but the latter glared at them before a burst of crimson energy was shot towards them knocking almost all of them unconscious and foaming at the mouth.

"H-Haoshoku…Haki?" Whitey Bay was shocked after witnessing that.

"…"

"Hoi, look over there…" Someone whispered. The villagers looked more worried than they were before after the Eustass Pirates arrival.

"Another pirate ship arrived. We rarely have people visit this village, but to think that two pirate crews will dock here…I hope they don't cause any trouble"

"I'm pretty sure I've seen their faces on the news before"

"…murmur…murmur…"

"Quit mumbling bullshit and get back to your business!!" A very short old man with a long white beard and a bald head shouted at the villagers. He was using a walking cane to support himself while walking and his back is arched.

"Mayor Tazuna!"

"What did I say you little punk?!"

"—Y-Yes!!"

Mayor Tazuna then proceeded to approach Kai who was still aiming his sword at Whitey Bay's neck "And you, I'm warning you, don't think about causing trouble in this village"

"Take it easy old man, you might have a heart attack" Kai responded with a smirk before pulling back his sword and putting it back to its sheath.

Tazuna's eyes widened in angered before he shouted back "Shut your mouth brat and listen carefully!! If you think you can come here, take whatever you want and leave without consequences then you better get ready!! Even this old man will fight you if I have to!!"

"Father!! you shouldn't provoke these pirates!!" A young blonde-haired women approached him from behind in panic. She quickly bowed to Kai in apology "Please forgive my father he's just an old man!"

"What are you doing Emma?!--"

"--Shhht"

"Kahahaha! What a funny old man, I'll forgive you guys if you show us to a place where we could eat and rest"

"Of course!" The women replied immediately before she showed them the way "This way!"

Kai proceeded to follow her before Whitey Bay said something from behind "Sorry about that...I overreacted, it's my bad"

"How about you buy us some drinks as an apology?"

"Alright, I guess it won't hurt" she remarked, shifting her attention to the few conscious crew members unaffected by Kai's Conqueror's Haki "Get them inside"

They nodded and promptly began transporting their unconscious comrades into the ship.

"Let's go"

...

A while later...inside an inn somewhere in the village.

The Eustass Pirates and Whitey Bay occupied the entire place and ordered a lot of food and drinks before they started partying.

"Time to party!!!" Kai announced, raising his glass. Seated at the counter with Kid and Whitey Bay, the others sat at the tables behind.

"Hey boss what are we even celebrating?" Saga questioned while calmly sitting at a table with Wyper.

"Do we need a reason to have fun? Just eat and drink as much as you want, it's on her tab!" Kai said, smirking at Whitey Bay's direction.

"You..." She gazed at him intensely before she sighed loudly "You're too carefree for someone who just annihilated an entire pirate crew"

"What? They must have known the consequences of sailing the seas and flying a Jolly Roger, anyone could suffer the same fate any day, including us...if they didn't know that then they were just a bunch of dreamy idiots who thinks that being a pirate is all fun and easy going, which it is but not entirely" Kai remarked, taking a sip from his drink "Anyway…what brings an infamous pirate like you here?"

Whitey Bay kept silence for a moment contemplating whether it's okay to open up to the red-haired pirate sitting beside her or not before she finally made her mind "I'm after someone, he goes by the name of Edward Weevil, I've been chasing him for a while now. My sources say that he's staying at this island right now" she said while pausing to drink, before adding "I have some personal business with that guy…"

Kid raised an eyebrow at the mention of that name. He quickly recognized it, thanks to the crew staying informed even during their time in seclusion on Mystoria Island. "The Warlord?"

"Oh, you know him" She wasn't surprised though as he became infamous for his actions the past year and half.

"Isn't he the one claiming to be Whitebeard's biological son?" Kai asked, he suddenly became interested to hear more about him, after all he's always up to fighting strong people if he can.

"Yeah, he's going around and tarnishing Oyaji's reputation, I won't let that slide" she declared, her tone sharp and seething with anger "He's been hunting down the previous Whitebeard pirates because he thinks we're unworthy along with that wretched mother of his who claims to be Oyaji's lover…Disgusting. They won't get away with it. I'll make sure of that!"

"I see…" This situation was very familiar to Kai, he met Ace who was going after Blackbeard in Drum Kingdom and now Whitey Bay who's going after Weevil. But judging by her and the Warlord's strength, Kai is pretty sure that she won't stand a chance against him.

Kai proceeded to finish his drink before rising from his seat "Well, good luck with whatever you're planning to do…" He said, Kid also finished his drink and got up but just as he was going to leave, Kai leaned towards her and whispered something in her ear "…and thanks for the drink beautiful"

Whitey Bay was momentarily flustered as she didn't expect him to say something like that all of a sudden and she quickly responded, "Are you drunk or something?!" she exclaimed.

"I'm not drunk. I'm just intoxicated by you…fuck that was cheesy"

"Stop flirting and let's go" Kid said, leaving first.

"Hahaha! I'm coming!...Well, take care Cutey Bay!" The rest of the crew got up and left the inn as well.

Whitey Bay's cheeks turned red from embarrassment when she heard that before shouting back at him "C-Cutey…Bay…? Who the hell are you calling that?! I'm older than you!!" she stared at him leaving in disbelief "What's wrong with that guy?..."

…

Next day…Somewhere else in Turtle Shell Island,

Two figures could be seen walking out of a burned down village with dozens of dead people, one of them is an extremely tall man with a stocky figure and prominent scars going down his left eye, across his neck and around his left arm. He has bushy blond hair with two braids coming down either side of his face, a black bandanna and white crescent-shaped mustache.

His legs are disproportionately small for his build and his nose also appears to be perpetually runny. He also wears overalls that are hung by chains rather than straps and bear his personal jolly roger on them.

"Everyone's so dumb and ridiculous! They all say the same thing!" The man said with angered face "They all say that the members of Whitebeard Pirates are Whitebeard's only sons!"

[Self-Proclaimed son of Whitebeard – Warlord of the Sea 'Whitebeard Jr.' Edward Weevil, Former Bounty: 480,000,000 Berries]

"Mommy! Mommy! I'm Whitebeard's son, right?! My beard's white as well!"

"That's right, dear! The Whitebeard Pirates were just a make-believe family" Said a short, elderly woman with blonde hair. On her shirt, she sports a skull symbol that is similar to the Whitebeard Pirates' jolly roger, except that it has pigtails and no crossbones. She wears a green hat, a pair of sunglasses and a leopard-print vest "You're the only biological son of the world's strongest pirate, Whitebeard!"

[Self-Proclaimed lover of Whitebeard and former member of the Rocks Pirates – Miss Buckin]

"Uh-huh! Uh-huh!" Weevil nodded his head in respond.

"…and I'm the woman who Whitebeard loved!" Miss Buckin declared before she approached her son "So hold your head up my treasure!" She said before taking out a piece of paper that has Whitebeard's picture and showed it to Weevil "Look at this!"

"What? Is that a mirror?"

"No, it's a picture of Whitebeard"

"Oh, I thought that was a mirror"

"You look so much like him, there is no way you're not his son! how can you be so silly?!"

"Ohh! Sorry mommy!!"

"But I forgive you, because I love you!"

"Mommy!!"

"Now, let's go!" The two then proceeded to walk away, before Miss Buckin started explaining her plan to her son "We have to find the remnants of the Whitebeard Pirates like Marco the Phoenix and get something back!..."

"…Your father Newgate must've left behind a big fortune and you're the true heir since you're his biological son!"

"Oh, I see, I see. But what I really wanna do is get revenge! I wanna have revenge on Blackbeard for killing daddy! I'll kill him!" Weevil exclaimed in tears while clenching his fists tightly "I won't forgive him at any price!"

"Silly boy! What's the point in taking revenge? You can't even earn one Berry. We want money, you must inherit his fortune!"

"You're right mommy!!"

As the two were walking side by side, they were suddenly stopped by a group of pirates leading them was none other than Whitey Bay.

"Hold it right there!" She said, blocking their way as she slowly walked up to them with confidence.

"Huh? Who is this woman mommy? Is she an enemy? Should I kill her?" Weevil asked his mother while pulling out a massive naginata, ready to fight.

"Hmph, speaking of the devil…I know you, you're Whitey Bay! You used to be in the same crew under Newgate and even participated in the Summit War!" Miss Buckin stated while pointing her walking can at her.

"She was in daddy's crew? Then she must be the same as the others…unworthy!! Right mommy?!" Weevil declared as he spun his naginata above his head.

"You're right, dear!" Miss Buckin responded.

"You bastards!! I won't forgive anyone who tries to stain the name of Oyaji, we owe it to him to put a fake son like you in your place!" Whitey Bay declared, unsheathing her sword and pointing it at Weevil.

"Insolent brat…Weevil! I give you approval to take her down along with her crew!"

"Really?! Then…" Weevil stepped forward while glaring at Whitey Bay with a menacing look "…I'm gonna kill her! In the name of Whitebeard!"

FWOOOSH!!

"HAAA!!" Whitey Bay and Weevil proceeded to charge towards each other before clashing weapons.

BOOOOM!!!

BAAAM!!

…

A While Later…

"…"

"Huff…Huff…Ugh!..." Whitey Bay was face down on the ground, her entire body was full of bruises and injuries and her crew were all lying defeated beside her. She was overwhelmingly defeated "D-Damn it…Huff…How is he this strong?"

Weevil stood a few feet away from her, he looked fine with no serious injuries on him. Miss Buckin laughed in joy seeing Whitey Bay's state before she pointed her walking can at her and ordered her son "Kikiki, that's what you get for getting in my way…Weevil! Finish her off!"

"Yes, mommy!!" He responded before spinning his naginata above his head and then swung it down at Whitey Bay with a crushing force.

'Is this the end?...' she thought, but before the blade could land on her, a red-haired figure blocked the attack with a sword.

Clang!

"How disappointing, I thought you'd at least put up a fight" Kai said while glancing down at her direction "You look miserable"

"--You!!" She looked at him in complete shock.

"Don't take this the wrong way, I'm not here to save or anything. I just happened to be interested in clashing blades with this Self-Proclaimed Whitebeard son" he said before he turned towards Weevil's direction and grinned maniacally "Hehe! Let's see what's you've got!"

…

[Marine Headquarters – New Marineford, New World]

"Admiral Kizaru! We've got an urgent report!" An officer hurriedly entered Kizaru's office before he spoke in an urgent manner "We've just received a report that Edward Weevil, Whitey Bay and the Eustass Pirates have clashed in Turtle Shell Island in the New World!!"

"Is it that guy again?" Marine Admiral Kizaru questioned while calmly trimming his fingernails "How many captains who used to work under Whitebeard have been brought down by him?"

"14 captains, sir. All of them seems like they were blown up with the town after some kind of argument" The officer stated, he then added "He always causes a lot of collateral damage. Even though he's a Warlord, we can't just overlook it"

"What should we do?"

"He says that he's Whitebeard's biological son and that makes him special, but many people aren't buying it"

"Hmmm…Well, it doesn't matter to us if it's true or not. Whoever his father is, he has one sure value…" Kizaru said, pausing for a moment before continuing "As a pirate, he's overwhelmingly strong. Pretty much like Whitebeard when he was young…that's the only thing they have in common…"

"…and the Eustass Pirates…It's been a while since I've heard about them, I was wondering what they were up to this past year and half…to think that the first thing they do after showing up is going for a Warlord, they really didn't call them the 'Worst Generation' just like that, they're a bunch of trouble makers" Kizaru said before he finished trimming his finger nails "Contact the nearest base to Turtle Shell Island…that would be?..."

"It's G-6 Marine Base, a couple of hours away from the island!!"

"Tell them to mobilize their entire forces and go there. If those two clashes, then it won't simply end there, its surely gonna escalate into something bigger"

"Right away!!"

…

A few minutes later,

[G-6 Marine Base, New World]

*Sirens*-*Sirens*

An announcement was made through the Den Den Mushi Speaker.

"The Eustass Brothers and the Warlord Weevil?!" John Giant questioned while sitting at his desk, standing at 2150 cm tall he is a man of the giant race. He has curly brown hair with a large bulbous chin. He wears a traditional red bicorne hat with the Marine's symbol, a Marine coat with 'Justice' embedded at the back and he carries a katana that fits his size.

[G-6 Base Commander – Vice Admiral John Giant]

"Very well then" John turned to his subordinate "Prepare the battleships and Pacifista, we'll head out immediately!!"

"Yes sir!!"
