chapter 78

"Wow… they're actually here!?"

Hearing the voices of the crew members, Marco and others who were discussing Dewey and the other two immediately smiled with interest.

Even Ace, who was wolfing down his food without saying a word, suddenly brightened up. After swallowing the food in his mouth, he asked loudly, "Are you sure it's the strongest rookie in history?"

"Yes, Captain Ace!" replied the pirate on the observation deck.

Hearing this, Ai immediately grinned: "Hey, I finally met him!"

"Why, Ace, you've never met your fellow countryman in Paradise?"

Seeing Ace's excited look, Marco asked curiously.

Everyone in the entire Grand Line knows that two super newcomers emerged from the Weakest Sea last year.

One is Dewey, the strongest rookie in history who is an even more perfect model than Red-Haired Shanks when he was young, and possesses swordsmanship, three-color Haki, and natural abilities. The other is a physical expert who has mastered the three-color Haki at a young age, and at the age of 18, he became the captain of the second squad second only to Portgas D Ace.

If the former relied on his strength and talent to become the undisputed strongest rookie in history, then Ace relied on his talent, strength and status to be on par with the strongest rookies in history, and was given the title of the East China Sea Gemini by Morgans.

Although Portgas and Ace do not have the ability of the fruit, he proved himself in the New World earlier than the strongest rookie in history. And during the time when Ace became famous, Dewey was still traveling around the world, which made many people curious: if the East Sea twins fought, who would be stronger and who would be weaker?

Because Dewey was a bounty hunter, when he was looking for the Dark-Dark Fruit and traveling around the world, various conspiracy theories said that he was scared back to the New World. Even though he was crowned the strongest rookie in history by Morgans, he would not be a match for the captain of the Whitebeard Pirates' Second Division.

It was not until he returned to the arena some time ago, with a user of the Thunder Fruit by his side, that the rumors disappeared. In addition, Dewey and his two companions had gained great reputation on the sea during this period, and no one dared to deny Dewey's title as the strongest rookie in history, not even those so-called pirates.

"No, when he was blocking the door in the Sabaody Archipelago, I was still recruiting companions." Ace shook his head and said, "When I arrived at the Sabaody Archipelago, he had already gone to Fishman Island. It had not been long since I awakened my Haki at that time. After I mastered Haki and entered the New World, he returned to the first half of the Grand Line."

After a slight pause, Ace smiled nostalgically and said, "Come to think of it, last year I heard that there was a bounty hunter blocking the door at the end of the first half. I wanted to fight him and recruit him to be my partner."

"Hahaha… maybe it's not too late now." Thatch said meaningfully.

Marco half-closed his eyes and reminded: "The other party may be here to visit Dad. You should abide by the rules of the sea and don't mess around."

"That depends on what kind of visit he makes." Thatch said, folding his arms.

"Don't worry, I won't do anything rash."

Ace, who was gradually maturing, said with a smile.

"In that case, I'll leave that fellow villager to you." Marco raised his chin and gestured.

"...learn!"

Ace looked at his family members who were smiling at him, grinned, picked up the hat hanging on his back and put it back on, then quickly walked to the side of the Moby Dick, looking at the sailboat getting closer and closer, his eyes full of fighting spirit.

As if sensing his gaze, Dewey, who was instructing Kalina on the sailboat, turned and looked in the direction of the Moby Dick. The two lines of sight, separated by a long distance, formed a horizon and sparks flew.

"Boss, the wine is here."

At this time, Nami's voice came from behind.

Turning around, I saw Nami coming out dragging a wine jug that was almost as big as her.

"Kalina, the ship is in your hands. Follow the plan."

Dewey bent down and kissed Kalina on the forehead, whispering softly.

"Don't worry, boss." Kalina helped Dewey tidy up his clothes and nodded seriously.

"Nami, let's go." Dewey took the rope from Nami, and the two of them immediately turned into two streams of light, one golden and one red, and soared into the sky.

"Here he comes! Such an arrogant way of showing off, truly worthy of a natural ability user."

Everyone on the Moby Dick saw the two streaks of light flying towards them.

Many veteran sailors' eyes were filled with envy.

Every top-level natural ability user, as long as they do not die young, will surely make a name for themselves on the sea in the future. For example, Crocodile, who challenged their father, and the three admirals of the navy, they are the top and best natural abilities.

And these two little ghosts, one is a top-level natural system, and the other is the top-level natural system that has become a legend.

Give them a few more years or even a dozen years, and they will surely have a place in the ocean.

If they could be recruited, even the Whitebeard Pirates, who were known as the not-the-strongest, would see a sudden increase in strength, making the title of not-the-strongest even more worthy of its name.

"Flame-Flame Fruit, Thunder Fruit…"

Looking at the two streams of light getting closer and closer, Marshall D. Teach, who was hiding in the crowd, was most envious: "Sand Fruit, Magma Fruit, Ice Fruit, Sparkling Fruit… Even the legendary natural fruit has been released. When will the most evil devil fruit in history appear? How long do I have to wait?!"

If Marshall D. Teach knew that the Devil Fruit he had always dreamed of had been eaten by someone, and that the person with the ability was less than a mile away from him, I believe he would go berserk and would want to kill Kalina immediately. Then, even if he had no hope of finding the Dark-Dark Fruit, he would still try to get a chance to parasitize the Devil Fruit.

Of course, he couldn't have known.

Perhaps by the time he knew it, Dewey had already become someone he could not afford to offend.

Bang!

The flame jets and lightning flew at extremely fast speeds, and Dewey and Nami landed smoothly on the deck of the Moby Dick without any obstruction.

A huge wine jug more than one meter high fell onto the deck, making a loud thump as if a heavy object had fallen to the ground.

"Dad, it seems like he's a very polite newcomer."

Seeing Dewey and the other man choose to land on the side of the ship instead of landing in the center of the deck in a high-profile manner, as well as the wine jug with the word "No Wine" written on it, Marco couldn't help but smile at Whitebeard.

In response, Whitebeard raised the crescent-shaped beard on his mouth slightly, but said nothing.

"The strongest rookie in history, Dewey. I've heard of you for a long time!"

Ace stood in front of Dewey and extended his hand to him.

"Me too, Portgas D Ace."

Dewey smiled and held out his hand to shake his.

boom–!

Just like Doflamingo's test at the beginning, almost at the moment the two shook hands, two auras that were almost merged together immediately burst out from Dewey and Ace.

A strong wind swept across the entire Moby Dick, the air twisted into distorted shapes, and flashed with dark red lightning.

Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang…

The weak ones who were enveloped by the aura fell to the ground with their eyes rolled back.

However, compared with the domineering Haki of Non-Red-Haired Shanks in the original work, the collision of Dewey and Ace's domineering Haki is not even one-third of the other's power.

Only a few people who were drunk during the day and some newcomers who had just joined the Whitebeard Pirates fell to the ground, unable to withstand the domineering aura.

The senior pirates with strong will and superb strength, treated this aura as a fan and stood aside to watch the show.

Marco couldn't help but shook his head and said, "Really? You just said you understood, but you couldn't help but take action the next moment."

"It seems that Ace has been wanting to fight that newcomer for a long time." Thatch smiled and said, "But that's right, they are from the same hometown, the same period, the same age… and are also known as one of the Kotokai twin stars, but his ranking is lower than that newcomer. It's normal for Ace to be unable to resist competing with him."

"You have to know the rules, because he is here to visit my father."

"Gulala… It's okay, let Ace entertain him." Whitebeard smiled and said, "That kid is restrained, he should just be visiting.

Seeing that his father had spoken, Marco didn't say anything more.

Such a strong and domineering attitude, is this the genius that Rayleigh mentioned?

Ace looked at Dewey, who remained calm despite his sudden attack, and exclaimed in his heart.

Little did he know that a hint of surprise also appeared in the depths of Dewey's eyes.

This level of arrogance…

The butterfly storm he caused was so huge?

Ace in the original work actually suffered from the common problem of other nature-type ability users, or rather… he was too young, and apart from developing the ability of his fruit, he had no time to improve other aspects. As a result, after his ability was restrained, his physique was very different from that of Marshall D. Teach.

Even Haki is not very proficient.

In this life, the Flame-Flame Fruit was intercepted by Dewey, who then told Rayleigh about his life story. After being taught by Rayleigh to master the awakened Haki, Ace went from being a person with special abilities in the original work to a powerful Haki master with superb physical skills.

If Garp could see Ace's current momentum, he would surely be very pleased.

Even if Ace joined the navy, he might have become a strong man who was proficient in Haki and Six Styles.

No wonder even without the Flame-Flame Fruit, he still managed to sit in the position second only to the Emperor's Vice-President.

The Child of Destiny is so outrageous!

The showdown between Dewey and Ace's Conqueror's Haki didn't last long before they both stopped at the same time in tacit understanding.

As he approached, Ace made way with a smile.

Behind him, the crew members who were sitting on the deck also stood on the side of the ship and made way for Dewey.

This is the strongest pirate group on the sea, and they give rewards to newcomers who dare to board an enemy ship alone.

Dewey gave Nami a look, telling her to stay where she was and not move, then picked up the huge wine jug and walked towards the giant Er sitting on the throne.

He was a true giant, with his own nursery rhyme, and he named an era after himself. Even a rookie with a bounty of over 100 million couldn't stand a glance from him. The strongest man in the world – Edward Newgate, the one with no white beard.
