With the strongest bloodline, it’s not too much to have more children, right?

"Space Walker Adrian Kamen, Void Walker Adrian Kronos."

Shanks recognized the two men and withdrew his aura, but did not remove his hand from Griffin.

There is no conflict between the Red Hair Pirates and the Kingdom of Adrien, and even his daughter Uta is developing in the Kingdom of Adrien.

but……

The appearance of people from the Kingdom of Adrian at this time is probably not a good thing for the Red Hair Pirates.

"People from the Kingdom of Adrian, what are you doing here?" Marco asked with a frown.

The only people who saw Kronos on the battlefield were Whitebeard, Sora, Sakazaki and Garp. He didn't know that Kronos had appeared on the battlefield before, or even had a deal with Whitebeard.

"I just want to fulfill the agreement. Whitebeard has a deal with my Kingdom of Adrian. I feel it is necessary to talk to you, otherwise you will miss it."

As she spoke, Carmen's eyes swept over the members of the Red Hair Pirates, and her meaning was self-evident.

"What deal? Dad didn't tell us?" Marco asked puzzledly.

"Don't worry about the transaction for now. We are here for another purpose, to return Whitebeard's body to you."

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone in the Whitebeard Pirates stood up in shock and gathered around the two men.

"Really? You brought Dad's body out?"

Marco looked at Carmen excitedly, as if he had heard something incredible.

This is normal. After all, Whitebeard's body was left at the Marine Headquarters and they had no way of getting it out.

They even planned to use items representing Whitebeard's identity to hold the funeral. Although they were unwilling, they really couldn't get Whitebeard's body.

Now that Carmen said they were here to return Whitebeard's body, how could he not be excited.

Carmen looked at Kronos, and Kronos understood. With a wave of his hand, a tall figure appeared in front of everyone.

Except for the missing Kusugano knife in his hand, everything else was exactly the same as when Whitebeard died in battle.

Looking at this familiar figure, the members of the Whitebeard Pirates could no longer control their tears and burst into tears.

A group of pirates who roamed the sea were crying like children at this moment, and the atmosphere was very sad.

Carmen and Kronos silently stepped aside, giving the Whitebeard Pirates a final chance to say goodbye to their beloved father.

"That's amazing! Were you also present at the Battle of Marineford?" Shanks walked up to the two of them and asked.

Carmen shook her head, "I didn't go, only Kronos."

Shanks took a look at Kronos. He was obviously a strong man, but his aura was very dull. If he didn't have the Observation Haki, he might have ignored his existence.

"The Void Fruit? As expected of the Adrian family, none of them are simple."

After muttering to himself, Shanks smiled and said, "You had a deal with Whitebeard. It should have happened during the Battle of Marineford, right?"

Carmen looked at the grinning Shanks calmly, revealing a smile that made it impossible to tell whether he liked it or not.

"Yes, to protect his sons and at the same time defend his territory from invasion by other ambitious pirates."

The word "ambitious" was emphasized, and Shanks knew he was pointing at him.

To be honest, he was a little surprised. He didn't expect that the Kingdom of Adrien would be interested in Whitebeard's territory.

After all, the headquarters of the Kingdom of Adrian is in the West Sea, which does not border Whitebeard's territory. There is even a Big Mom pirate group in between. It will definitely take a lot of manpower to manage it.

Although the Kingdom of Adrian has abundant talents, the area of the West Sea alone is almost as large as the New World. The Kingdom of Adrian dares to allocate so many troops to the New World. Isn’t it afraid that the World Government will take action?

What Shanks didn't know was that the Kingdom of Adrien really wasn't afraid.

Although the West Sea is large in area, there are very few powerful enemies and it does not require too much high-end combat power.

Moreover, the Kingdom of Adrian is technologically advanced at sea, and mechanized management is already on the agenda, so it is more than enough to send some people to occupy the New World.

"The New World is a big cake, and the Four Emperors didn't eat it all."

"Oh? It seems that you are very interested in the seats of the Four Emperors?" Carmen asked with interest.

"Of course!" Shanks said firmly.

His meaning was very clear. If he gave up Whitebeard's territory and occupied other waters of the New World, he could still become one of the Four Emperors.

"Are you planning to challenge that? Could it be my dad?" Carmen teased with a smile.

Since Shanks chose to withdraw, he would not make the relationship too awkward.

As the Foreign Minister of the Kingdom of Adrian, he understands that having more friends means having more paths.

The current goal of the Kingdom of Adrian is the World Government, and all others can be allies.

Of course, after defeating the World Government, other forces must also be dealt with.

"I'm not interested in the West Sea." Shanks replied with a smile.

What a challenge!

He still has some self-awareness of his own strength. He can still fight Big Mom and Kaido, but he doesn't even dare to challenge the dead Whitebeard, let alone Zel.

The most important thing is that there is more than just Zel in the Kingdom of Adrian.

He was ranked seventh in the last martial arts tournament, with six people ahead of him. Except for Kuzan, the other five were from the Kingdom of Adrian.

Although he was very confident about the growth rate of his strength, there was no weak talent in the Adrian family.

Besides, those guys are younger than him. His strength has increased a lot, and it is impossible for those talented monsters to stand still.

"Really? What a pity!"

Carmen shook her head regretfully.

Shanks was about to say something, but Marco came over.

His eyes were red and swollen, and his voice was very hoarse.

"On behalf of the Whitebeard Pirates, I would like to thank the Kingdom of Adrien for returning Dad's body. Although it may be presumptuous, we would like to hold a funeral for Dad first. We may have to discuss the transaction later."

The Whitebeard Pirates have fallen apart. He doesn't know what the deal was between his father and the Kingdom of Adrian, but at least he wants the intact Whitebeard Pirates to hold a complete funeral for his father.

"Of course, no problem. We are not in any rush."

Seeing that Carmen agreed, Marco thanked her and went back to tell his classmates about his idea.

Although many people were planning to leave, their father's funeral was approaching, so they planned to wait until after the funeral before leaving.

The sun slowly sank into the sea, and the remnants of its body that had been burning all day cast the last ray of light, and ended under the gaze of everyone.

The Moby Dick sailed silently on the sea, swaying slightly, and the atmosphere was peaceful.
