Whitebeard is Still Here.

_________________

North Blue, Minion Island:

Given that Fallen Noble Island, where the nearest art store is located, is close to Minion Island and has recently been connected by a sea train, it was very easy to get the new manga volume or a copy of it as soon as possible.

That's how Diez Barrels got his volume, along with his crew and son.

"Here you are again, silent as always. Do you think you missed out on participating in the Summit War, unlike Luffy who sacrificed everything to join?" Diez Barrels said in a gentle tone.

"…I don't know what he's thinking," replied young Dorry, referring to his counterpart, X Drake.

"Of course you don't… but you can feel what he feels, can't you?"

…

"What a great predictor! Of course, Whitebeard's territories will destroyed! Hahaha!"

In the West Blue this time, Capone Bege was happy to see his counterpart appear in the manga again.

"As one of the Supernovas, how far do you think I'll go, guys?" Bege asked.

"You'll go far, boss, for sure!"

"Yes, I agree with the third brother! Your counterpart will definitely become a Yonko!"

"Oh, seriously? Don't you think I'll end up joining my father in prison?"

"Who would think that, boss!?"

"If anyone has such an idea, they deserve to die!"

…

"Blackbeard is the key, that's right! Fufufu~"

The art store on Sky Island Birka was packed, but all eyes were on the man who had just laughed and said that.

"Priest Urouge looks much kinder than his manga counterpart!"

"Speak quietly, he might hear you…"

"Since he became a pirate, it means he has evil in his heart and doesn't deserve to be a priest."

"But not all pirates are evil."

…

Sabaody Archipelago:

"What's the matter, Oyaji? Why are you staring at me?"

Inside the art store, young Apoo looked at his father in confusion, who was smiling at him.

"I feel great pride in you, my son! You'll grow up to be a great villain!"

"Unlike Trafalgar Law, who went to save Luffy! Your counterpart already condemned that act, you must be a great enemy for them as they will definitely team up."

As the smile on young Apoo's face grew bigger and bigger, his father's smile turned to mockery.

"And they'll kick your butt easily."

"Huh?"

…

Sorbet Kingdom:

Peace had prevailed in this kingdom since the narcissistic former king was taken care of years ago. Although Kuma had removed his crown and returned it to the former royal family, it did not affect the lives of the residents.

After all, their king, Kuma, was the reason they got an art store on this island!

The art store meant that this place was worth living in!

The same was true for the Revolutionary Army, who had taken this kingdom as their official headquarters even if the whole world knew that no harm would come.

After all, the Revolutionary Army did not work in secret as in the manga, but openly and in the light! They even recruited people in the global forum!

The World Government could only see this and grind their teeth in anger and hatred.

The bounties they placed on their enemies' heads no longer meant anything since the hunters didn't acknowledge them either.

…

"Who do you think your counterpart is looking for?"

Inside the art store, Kuma asked his daughter Bonney, whom Rob decided not to erase from this world after realizing her imaginary existence.

"The man who did all that to you… it must be Vegapunk," Bonney replied in a sad tone.

"Vegapunk must know that too."

…

"The strange thing is thinking that the story's protagonist will die, little brother."

In the art store on Yellow Stone Island, Archa mocked her little brother's wrong assumptions.

"But my counterpart doesn't know that StrawHat Luffy is the protagonist," replied young Hawkins calmly.

…

South Blue, Karate Island:

Today, the small Eustass family came to the nearest island with an art store to enjoy a beautiful weekend.

But seeing the evil smile on Eustass Kidd's face spoiled the man and woman's mood.

"This child is really going to become a great villain in the future," said Father Eustass sadly.

"We won't let him become that, will we?" The mother was holding the child in her arms.

Chapter's Events:

—————————

[East Blue, West Blue, South Blue, North Blue, and the Grand Line]

"Whitebeard said it!!!"

"One Piece is real!!! Let's go find it!!!"

"The sea still holds unseen dreams!!!"

Everywhere, pirates were raging because of what Whitebeard said about One Piece in his final moments.

[As if it had already been written in history. The news was whittled down as it spread, until the only word carried throughout the oceans was the marines' victory.]

"Extra!"

"Extra!!!"

"Whitebeard is dead!!"

Newspapers flew everywhere to deliver the breaking news.

[The world grows restless at this news.]

"The Marines have won!!! Thank God!!!"

Ordinary people who simply hated pirates were overjoyed.

"The Marines are invincible!!!"

"Salute the heroes!!!"

"Uwooohhh!!"

"Someday… I'll become strong enough to get called to headquarters!!"

The marines from the branches were also excited.

…

[The people didn't notice…]

"Uwaaaahh!!! Don't come any closer! Don't come into the town!!!"

"Th-This island is…!!!"

On a certain island with Whitebeard's pirate flag, it seemed as if chaos was escalating.

"Ngahahaha… hmmm!? This island is… what?"

"Whitebeard's territory? Yeah, it was! But what is it now?"

"You've heard the news, right?"

A pirate cut Whitebeard's pirate flag in half.

"That flag doesn't mean a damn thing now!!!"

"He's dead!!!"

"With Whitebeard gone, the world is ours for the taking!!!"

"Kyaaaahh!!"

The rampage of pirates terrified the women and children on the island.

"Burn this image into your eyes!!!"

"This island is now ours!!!"

"I'm the great pirate Brownbeard!!! Uwohoho!!!"

[The Marines have won, but that outcome doesn't necessarily bring peace. With the threat of Whitebeard's wrath gone, chaos has begun and reigns.]

Calm Belt:

"What tragic consequences…" Marco felt horrified after seeing the consequences of Whitebeard's pirates' destruction.

"This is already expected," Whitebeard spoke with dark eyes and an ugly expression.

"What were you expecting? This is the pirate world we know." Stussy added sadly.

"If you fall today, everything you protected yesterday will be taken." Whitebeard nodded in acknowledgment. A heavy feeling of sadness weighed on his heart as he watched these scenes after his counterpart had already gone to the other side.

"What a rotten world… to the core." Jozu felt extreme anger as he saw Whitebeard's pirate flag, which he carried in his heart, being cut as if it no longer mattered.

"Brownbeard? Even insects can get a scene in this manga." Vista wanted to cut this wretched pirate into pieces and feed his flesh to sea monsters. He didn't want more than that.

"It seems that after Oyaji's death, the world forgot that Whitebeard's pirates were not completely destroyed, and they're still here."

Just imagining this fate for them made Marco nervous; going through it in the manga was already a terrible experience.

"What is much worse is not drawn in the manga, apparently. Rob only showed the tip of the iceberg. There must be looting, theft, murder, and rape everywhere on the islands that my counterpart used to protect."

"Why don't you let the world know the consequences of my death, Rob?"

Unfortunately, Rob was not here to answer Whitebeard's emotional question at this moment.

…

On Jaya Island, where most of the remaining pirates in the first half of the Grand Line gathered, the new manga release was already on fire.

Most of the pirates inside the art store were laughing and mocking Whitebeard's fate in the manga.

Of course, they did this in their hearts because the real Whitebeard had not died, unfortunately. He was still at his peak! Even the marines with all their might had to worry about his presence, not to mention nameless pirates like them.

But a certain pirate was sweating in the corner after seeing what his counterpart did in the manga.

"Brownbeard? Isn't that me?"

"Well, from this day on, my nickname will be Beardless!"

The large man grabbed the sword at his waist and shaved off his beard entirely without the slightest hesitation.

This man was Brownbeard, who had recently gone out to sea.
