Kaido, the father-in-law, used monster cells to create the strongest Beast.

Compared to the chaos of decades ago,

now,

This country and this island are now lush and beautiful, prosperous and peaceful.

Here,

It is the hometown of Whitebeard, the strongest man in the world.

Those treasures considered to be gifts from heaven were actually sent in anonymously by Whitebeard.

After Whitebeard became famous at sea...

Whether on Rocks' ship or reigning supreme on the seas as one of the Four Emperors,

He always secretly sent his share of the treasure back to his hometown.

238. Blackbeard, undeterred, launches a sneak attack on Marco and other remnants of the Whitebeard Pirates!

A tough guy with a white beard, yet with a tender heart.

Throughout his life, what he valued most were his family and his hometown.

Even though the throne of the Pirate King was only a stone's throw away from him,

Even if Roger were to tell him Laugh Tale's final location,

Even if he becomes the strongest man in the world,

Even if one possesses the power to destroy the world

He remains true to his original aspirations!

and so.

Akainu's statement during the Marineford War that he mocked Whitebeard as a loser is unfounded.

Whitebeard's ambition wasn't to become the Pirate King.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to fight Roger at his peak to a standstill.

It's not necessarily true that he will lose to Roger.

at this point,

This was evident in Roger's last conversation with Whitebeard before he voluntarily surrendered to the Navy.

It can be said,

Whitebeard's life was spotless.

Even until his death, he had no scars on his back.

The only thing that could be considered less honorable was his selfish desire to save Ace, which led his entire Whitebeard Pirates into danger.

Other than that,

Whitebeard made another mistake, which was leaving behind Blackbeard, a heinous and ruthless villain.

Whitebeard had actually noticed Blackbeard's unusual behavior quite early on.

Blackbeard back when he was just a little kid,

Upon meeting him, she immediately knelt down and begged to join the White Group.

Whitebeard had a vague feeling that this little black kid with a "D" in his name was no ordinary fellow.

Blackbeard was just too good at hiding his true identity within the Whitebeard Pirates.

He's like a nice guy with absolutely no ambition, treating everyone with sincerity.

Whitebeard then lowered his guard.

Can anyone think of,

Blackbeard's actions over the past few decades have all been an act, a complete disguise!

This caused Whitebeard to suffer the biggest loss of his life.

and,

Not only during his lifetime, but even after his death, his body was targeted by the ruthless Blackbeard.

Blackbeard originally planned to... during the Marineford War,

He then sought to seize the power of Whitebeard's Tremor-Tremor Fruit.

However, Moria, arranged by Luo Xing, stopped them using his Shadow Imitation Technique.

Furthermore, the Empress's interference ultimately led to Blackbeard's failure.

Blackbeard suffered several defeats at Luo Xing's hands afterward, and even nearly lost his life at sea.

But he truly deserves to be called the most patient and ambitious tyrant in the pirate world.

Even at their lowest point, they still dared to resolutely attack the revolutionary army headquarters.

He seized Baldigo, making it his base for expanding his power.

The Blackbeard Pirates began a massive recruitment drive, quickly gathering tens of thousands of pirates in the New World who were being driven to desperation by the Beast Pirates and Big Mom's crew.

He has been recognized by the World Government as the new Yonko to replace Whitebeard!

Although his bounty as one of the Four Emperors is just over two billion, it is still lower than Luo Xing's.

But after all, he already has the title of one of the Four Emperors.

He finally became a big shot in the area.

Blackbeard is ambitious.

He understood deeply that

In the face of the increasingly aggressive Beasts Guild,

To secure his position as one of the Four Emperors, he must become stronger.

So strong that I no longer need to fear that hateful Fifth Emperor Luo Xing!

to this end,

He must obtain the power of the Tremor-Tremor Fruit.

This time, there absolutely cannot be any more mistakes!

Blackbeard entrusted Baltigo's expansion to Burgess and others.

He brought his navigator Lafayette with him and quietly arrived in Whitebeard's hometown.

Looking at the peaceful and secluded island before me,

Blackbeard grinned, revealing his toothless mouth, and said smugly:

"Hahaha, as expected, the Beasts Gang hasn't discovered this place yet 々「。

"Those guys, Shanks and Marco, must have buried Whitebeard's body here!"

Lafayette, holding an umbrella, looked at the surrounding scenery and said:

"Captain, so this is where Whitebeard, the strongest man in the world, was born. What an interesting place!"

"Nothing special. It was just a lawless place ravaged by cholera because they couldn't afford the Heavenly Gold. It only became like this because of Whitebeard's relief."

Blackbeard said dismissively.

"I've long disliked this about Whitebeard. Instead of using his wealth to expand his power, he uses it to help these useless trash. What a waste!"

"Alright, Lafayette, let's hurry and find Whitebeard and Ace's graves!"

"With Whitebeard's corpse, I can obtain the power of the Tremor-Tremor Fruit!"

"It's a pity that Ace was burned to ashes by Akainu, otherwise you could have also obtained the Flame-Flame Fruit."

Lafayette said nonchalantly:

"It doesn't matter if you don't have it. After all, there are too many people on this sea who know how to use fire. The Flame-Flame Fruit is nothing special."

"That's true..."

Blackbeard and Laffitte concealed their presence.

Searching for a grave in Whitebeard's hometown.

They found it not long afterward.

after all.

The burial plot that Shanks, Marco, and others prepared for Whitebeard must have been extremely spacious.

It's easy to spot.

but,

On the grassland in front of Whitebeard's grave,

There was also a group of remnants of the White Party gathered there.

It mainly consists of the captains from the original Whitebeard Pirates' main ship, led by Marco, Jozu, and Florian.
