Lu Li frowned and said seriously, "Kanae, when you are fighting, you must not have any sympathy for the demons. The demons may have been kind people before, but from the moment they became demons, they were already dead."
"Kindness to your enemies is cruelty to yourself."
"A moment of kindness may bring endless suffering to others."
"Such kindness is not kindness, but the greatest evil in human nature."
"The greatest relief for them is to kill the evil spirits."
Kanae nodded and said, "I understand."
"If you need anything, you can tag me in the group, especially when you discover an Upper Moon demon. You can't deal with an Upper Moon demon by yourself."
"If you encounter Muzan Kibutsuji, the progenitor of demons, do not hesitate at all. Even if your Demon Slayer Corps were to gather all its members, they would not be a match for Muzan."
"Thank you."
Kanae Butterfly was truly grateful. Her affairs had nothing to do with Lu Li, and she didn't want to involve unrelated people.
But as Lu Li said, the only way to end everything is to rely on external forces.
[Whitebeard: "@Lu Li, hey! You brat, why haven't you brought your men over yet?"]
[Lu Li: "Don't worry, I'll be right there."]
Lu Li smiled at the group and said, "Alright, Old Man Whitebeard is getting impatient. We can come another time. Let's go over there now."
The group nodded in agreement; they had originally gone to offer birthday wishes to the white-bearded man.
At this time, in the world of One Piece
Naval Headquarters
Navy Marshal's Office
"What is Whitebeard up to? He's making such a big fuss about his 70th birthday. Doesn't he know how much trouble this will cause the Navy?"
Fleet Admiral Sengoku's face was extremely grim. Whitebeard was a thorn in the side of the Navy. As long as this old guy was alive, he would be a thorn in the side of the World Government and the Navy.
The title of the world's strongest man is no joke. The World Government and the Navy may be the strongest forces in the world, but the world's strongest man is the pirate.
I wonder how many damn fools became pirates just to claim the title of the world's strongest. The pirate era will never end until Whitebeard is defeated.
"Puhahaha!! Don't be angry! Sengoku! Today is his birthday, after all. It's a very important day for Whitebeard. What's wrong with being a little magnanimous?"
Karp sat on the office sofa, eating a donut and laughing loudly.
Seeing Garp's carefree attitude, Sengoku was furious: "Birthday, birthday, I don't want to see him celebrate his birthday, I'd rather see him celebrate his death anniversary."
"Then why don't you have a birthday celebration too, and make it even bigger than his?"
"Get out of here! Go keep an eye on Whitebeard, or do you really want to wait for him to attack?"
"Marshal Sengoku, I'll go keep an eye on things too. After all, if they really want to do something, I can at least delay them..."
Aokiji, who had been resting with his eyes closed, took off his blindfold and said.
Sengoku nodded upon hearing Aokiji's words. Indeed, Whitebeard had celebrated his birthday before, but never with such a grand display.
The gathering of Whitebeard's Grand Fleet this time poses a huge threat to the World Government. It would be bad if problems arose if they were not kept a close watch on it.
Aokiji's Ice-Ice Fruit can freeze the sea. If the Whitebeard Pirates make any unusual moves, he can freeze all the ships, making them unable to sail and giving the Marine Headquarters more time to deploy troops.
"Okay, go ahead."
new world
On the Moby Dick of the Whitebeard Pirates.
All 43 pirate crews under Whitebeard, totaling more than 50,000 people, gathered together to celebrate Whitebeard's birthday.
Although they all knew that these pirate crews had come to celebrate Whitebeard's birthday, this action made the World Government and the Marine Headquarters very nervous.
They dispatched a large number of naval personnel to monitor the situation, fearing that Whitebeard might accidentally cause some major incident.
After all, this is Edward Newgate, the strongest man in the world.
It would be disastrous if they took this opportunity to launch an attack on the navy or a member state of a world government.
Marco looked at the 3.8 smile on Whitebeard's face. As one of the earliest members of the Whitebeard Pirates and the first division commander, he could naturally tell that his old man was in a good mood.
For the past six months or so, my dad seems to have been in a very good mood.
"Dad, you seem to be in a good mood!"
The white-bearded man laughed heartily, "Gurarararar! Yes! Because my sons and daughters are coming to see me."
Third Division Captain Jozu said, "You're mistaken. It should be sons and daughters."
Of the hundred people who become pirates, ninety-nine are male pirates; female pirates also exist, but are extremely rare.
"No, it's my sons and daughters."
Just then, a tornado appeared out of thin air on the deck in front of Whitebeard, and then four people appeared out of thin air in the whirlwind.
Chapter Seventy-Eight: The Whitebeard Pirates
"who?!"
The crew of the Moby Dick were all taken aback when four people suddenly appeared and prepared to take action.
The white-bearded voice rang out: "All of you, stand back!"
Then, the tornado dispersed, and Lu Li and his three companions appeared.
A smile spread across Whitebeard's face: "Gurararara! You've finally arrived!"
Rin Tohsaka was seeing so many people for the first time, and when she heard Whitebeard's voice, she looked towards where Whitebeard was.
"Wow!! Whitebeard, you're so tall and big!!"
Rin Tohsaka was astonished; it was the first time she had ever seen someone so tall.
Erica and Kanae were also awestruck by Whitebeard's tall stature.
Indeed, Whitebeard was over six meters tall, nearly seven meters, and his imposing figure and scars gave people a strong sense of oppression.
"Gurarararar!! Little Rin? Come here and let me see her."
Whitebeard's mood instantly improved upon seeing Rin Tohsaka. 03
Rin Tohsaka skipped and hopped over to Whitebeard.
"Happy birthday, Whitebeard Dad! This is a birthday cake that Rin made for you, but it seems a bit too small for Dad."
Rin Tohsaka took the cake out of her backpack, but was a little disappointed to see that it was smaller than the size of one of Whitebeard's fingers.
Whitebeard took the cake and threw it directly into his mouth:
"Delicious! Rin's cake is really good."
Then Whitebeard lifted Rin Tohsaka up and sat her on his lap, looking very doting.
Erika and Kanae also presented their gifts, but the gifts seemed too small compared to Whitebeard's tall stature.
"Gurarararar! You're here, so what? I don't need birthday presents. I'm just happy that you came."
Whitebeard was very happy about this.
Ace asked with some confusion, "Dad, who are they?"
Not only Ace was puzzled, but the rest of the Whitebeard Pirates were also very confused. They had always been by Whitebeard's side and had never seen Lu Li and his three companions before.
Not to mention the two young girls and the boy, there was also a child who was clearly under eight years old.
The white-bearded man said with a smile, "They are all my adopted sons and daughters. They heard that today is my 70th birthday, so they came here specially to celebrate with me."
When Marco heard this, and thought about what his father had said earlier, he realized that his father was so happy because of these people.
My dad hadn't started anything yet because he was waiting for these few people.
Marco stepped forward with a smile and said, "Hello, my name is Marco, and I am the captain of the first division of the Whitebeard Pirates. Please have a seat here."
Marco led Lu Li and the other two to sit in the front row.
"Thank you, my name is Lu Li."
"My name is Kanae Kocho."
“My name is Erica Blantri.”
Lu Li and the other two introduced themselves.
Marco looks very similar to his anime counterpart, with a golden pineapple-shaped head and a Whitebeard Pirates tattoo on his chest.
Marco smiled and said, "No need to be so polite. Since you are the son and daughter that Old Man has adopted, you are brothers and sisters of our Whitebeard Pirates. There's no need to be reserved here."
Then Marco raised the large bowl full of wine and said loudly, "Today is my father's 70th birthday. Let us raise our glasses and wish him good health and a long life!"
"Wishing my father good health and a long life!"
The large fleet of over 50,000 people raised their glasses together, shouted loudly, and then drank it all down.
"Wow!! Daddy's so awesome!!"
Rin Tohsaka was thrilled to see so many people congratulating Whitebeard; she had only ever seen such a scene in movies before.
"Gurarararar!!"
Whitebeard was overjoyed to hear Rin Tohsaka's words. He had gathered such a grand gathering to celebrate Rin's 70th birthday partly to see the group of people, and partly to show them how powerful their father was.
Rin Tohsaka greatly satisfied Whitebeard's vanity.
"I hereby declare the banquet open!!"
Whitebeard raised the large bowl in his hand and downed the wine in one gulp.
Everyone else was killed in the same way.
Soon, the performers on the Moby Dick started singing and dancing.
After all, this was Whitebeard's 70th birthday, and Marco had arranged all the procedures meticulously.
"Is this what pirates are like?"
Erika's area is rife with pirates, so seeing these people wasn't surprising to her, but for Kanao, it was the first time she had ever seen pirates.
Lu Li explained, "Yes, this is what pirates are like. But don't overthink it. The pirates in this world are actually similar to organizations like the Demon Slayer Corps."
"They are a group of people who pursue freedom, wealth, and fame. On the territories they occupy, they are more like an army, responsible for protecting their land and people."
"Of course, there are also some very vicious pirates who burn, kill, plunder, and commit all sorts of evil deeds, but under Whitebeard's management, such situations generally do not occur."
"The only enemies of pirates are other pirates and the Navy."
"Wow, you know a lot about pirates!"
A young man walked over and said.
Lu Li looked up and saw that the person was about seventeen or eighteen years old, with black hair, freckles on his cheeks, bare-chested, and wearing a yellow hat.
Lu Li recognized the other party's identity at a glance: Portgas D. Ace, the son of Gol D. Roger, the Pirate King.
He is also the older brother of the protagonist Luffy, and directly triggered the famous Marineford War.
Lu Li initially thought that Ace's impulsiveness was what caused that incident.
But upon closer reflection, was Ace really wrong? No, he wasn't. His subordinates killed another captain and defected to the Whitebeard Pirates.
For Ace, this was his responsibility as captain; bringing him back to justice was the behavior a responsible man should exhibit.
After being rescued, he had the opportunity to escape, but he chose to turn back, wasting the lives of Whitebeard and many others who sacrificed themselves to save him.
But how many people can tolerate someone who insults their most respected father?
When Lu Li was a child, he would definitely go up and give anyone who insulted his family a good beating.
As a result, Lu Li's parents were frequently contacted when he was young.
He's in Fairy Tail now, and if anyone dares to insult the old man, he promises he won't let them see the sun tomorrow.
Therefore, Lu Li still greatly admired and liked Ace.
