One Piece: At the start, defeat Momonosuke and take Yamato to sea.

Chapter 187 Exploiting the Whitebeard Pirates

Whitebeard turned around and glanced indifferently at his somewhat arrogant and mediocre foolish son.

Teach is actually quite concerned about Laugh Tale and the One Piece. It seems that this D. clan hasn't given up to the point of just lying around waiting to die.

In fact, given Teach's seniority, in the years before Fire Fist Ace appeared, Whitebeard and many division commanders had intended to appoint Teach as the second division commander.

As a result, this fat, dark-skinned man repeatedly refused to become the second division captain.

This made Whitebeard quite disappointed with the D. clan.

He knew that this D. clan member was definitely not the one Roger was waiting for.

Luo Ji also looked meaningfully at the black-bearded Teach, who was wearing a white shirt and had his chest exposed.

At this point, Teach only has some stubble on his face and doesn't yet have the nickname "Blackbeard."

In fact, when Whitebeard asked Luo Ji to find Laugh Tale, apart from Teach's overreaction, Fire Fist Ace also became extremely nervous.

You should know that Ace really wants to push Whitebeard to the position of Pirate King, so that the loving Whitebeard can completely surpass Roger, that bastard father.

His beloved white-bearded father was a hundred or a thousand times more perfect than his biological father who abandoned his wife and children!

After Whitebeard became the Pirate King, his fame completely overshadowed Roger's.

Then Ace's label and identity as Roger's son will be downplayed.

He then completely transformed into Whitebeard's adopted son and the second division commander of Whitebeard's army.

Ace originally wanted to have a good get-together with his good friend Luo Ji, but at this moment he regarded Luo Ji as the strongest opponent on Whitebeard's path to becoming the Pirate King.

Most importantly, it seems that Whitebeard doesn't want to be the Pirate King and wants to pass Laugh Tale and the position of Pirate King to Law, which makes Ace a little troubled.

···

"You know about Laugh Tale? You ran into the Roger Pirates?"

Whitebeard asked with some curiosity, feeling that Luo Ji really didn't seem to have any interest in ONE PIECE.

"no!"

"Let's put that topic aside for now and finish the previous transaction first, then we'll proceed with your treatment."

Luo Ji didn't continue to argue with Whitebeard about this issue; he needed to hurry to harvest the technology from Egghead Island.

"Yes, yes, treat Dad first!"

Fire Fist Ace quickly spoke up, expressing his genuine concern that his father would hand the title of Pirate King to Luo Ji.

Ace felt a little better after hearing that Luo Ji was also uninterested in Laugh Tale and the position of Pirate King.

At worst, he and Marco, along with the other division commanders, could persuade Whitebeard to go and find Laugh Tale and become the Pirate King.

Whitebeard was initially reluctant to cooperate with the Luo Ji World Group on this technological island, but they persuaded him to come.

Whitebeard was still soft-hearted when it came to his sons.

"Yes, Dad, let's treat your hidden injuries first."

Marco, the phoenix, the eldest son, was well aware of his father's thoughts and understood the desires of his younger brother, Ace.

However, Whitebeard's desire to enjoy family life and not want his son to be in danger was in great conflict with Ace's wish for Whitebeard to become the Pirate King.

Marco, the chief steward of the Whitebeard Pirates, actually knows some secrets about Laugh Tale. It seems that two of the red Poneglyphs are in the hands of Kaido and Big Mom.

At least the red historical text in the old lady's hand is very clear.

After all, the major event in which the Roger Pirates wreaked havoc on Whole Cake Island and stole the red Poneglyph is very famous.

That means that to become the Pirate King, one must step over these two Emperors and seize the Red Poneglyphs.

This is a very dangerous thing.

Moreover, obtaining these two pieces is not enough; the whereabouts of two more pieces are still unknown.

Most importantly, the Whitebeard Pirates did not have any archaeologists who could read ancient texts.

These are some of the reasons why Whitebeard didn't want to seek out Laugh Tale to become the Pirate King.

Of course, Whitebeard had no interest in One Piece.

His greatest treasure in life is his family.

···

With the active negotiations and efforts of Ace and Marco, Luo Ji quickly arranged for Princess Mansherry to treat Whitebeard.

At the same time, Vegapunk was instructed to conduct a comprehensive examination of Whitebeard and provide a more complete treatment plan.

During Whitebeard's treatment, Luo Ji also took the time to talk with Thatch and confirm the reward of the 'Devil Fruit he would receive in the future'.

Sachi readily made the promise again, which pleased Luo Ji greatly.

In this friendly atmosphere, the Luo Ji World Pirates and the Whitebeard Pirates also engaged in peaceful exchanges, exchanging supplies and treasures.

Yamato, in particular, took his nautical logbook, befriended every squad leader, and wrote down their names.

Only Izou, the captain of the 16th Division, looked at Yamato, Kaido's daughter, with a very complicated expression.

However, Yamato has now broken away from Kaido's forces. Previously, Kaido of the Beasts even put bounties on Yamato and Law, which prevented Izo from taking any extreme actions.

However, he didn't treat Yamato well either.

After all, his patriarch, Kozuki Oden, died at the hands of Yamato's father, Kaido of the Beasts.

Teach really wanted to ask Luo Ji if he had any information about the Dark-Dark Fruit.

But right now he's just an ordinary member of the Second Division, an unknown nobody.

How could they be qualified to have an equal dialogue with the Five Emperors Luo Ji?

Seeing Luo Ji surrounded by a group of squad leaders, Teach felt even more distressed. Beneath his honest face, his eyes were somewhat gloomy.

···

Luo Ji used the excuse that "Mansherry's healing fruit ability wants to convert blood into blood crystal dandelions" to get all the division commanders of the Whitebeard Pirates to actively donate blood.

Mansherry used her Healing Fruit power on Whitebeard on the spot, and the effect was very good, which made the division commanders feel more at ease.

Luo Ji directly took some blood from Fire Fist Ace and Phoenix Marco, and neither of them objected.

With the blood of these two squad leaders, Naraji's fire spirit can be redrawn.

And there's also an immortal phoenix.

This can be considered as compensation for the loss of the mythical beast, Ushioni.

It seems that Luo Ji even made a little money.

After all, the phoenix is ​​much cooler than the demon spider, and it also has the ability to fly.

Even if Marco's strength is not as good as Satan's, he can make up for it in terms of various abilities.

In addition, there was the blood that Vegapunk drew during his examination of Whitebeard.

Vegapunk now had several Paramecia-type bloodlines at once.

Whitebeard's Tremor-Tremor Fruit blood, Diamond Jozu's Glint-Glint Fruit blood, Sixth Division Commander Bramanco's Bag-Bag Fruit blood...

In addition to the Gravity Fruit ability and the Paw-Paw Fruit ability of the Luo Ji World Team...

This laid an important foundation for the Seraph Project.

Luo Ji even planned to create a series of Mythical Zoan-type artificial Devil Fruits, just like Vegapunk created artificial Azure Dragon Fruits.

Artificial Phoenix Fruit, and artificial Ootengu, Dainyudo, Nue, Yamata no Orochi...

Pretty!

The Whitebeard Pirates got the job right this time!

Vegapunk, the world's greatest scientist, definitely made the right move!

We're rich! We're rich!

After the Battle of Egghead Island, the Luo Ji World Group is about to take off.
