The meeting with Aokiji finally ended without a fight. According to Aokiji, it was because Eric saved Teacher Zefa and the trainee sailors on that ship, and he owed Eric a favor. But next time they meet, he will never let them go so easily.
After learning from Eric about problems that could not be seen within the Navy, Aokiji seemed to have rekindled the flame of justice in his heart and wanted to solve some stubborn problems within the Navy.
Unlike Akainu's thorough justice and Kizaru's ambiguous justice, even though Aokiji now implements lazy justice, he still has things he wants to accomplish.
But how can it be so easy to reform a huge organization from its roots?
The world government will suppress you, the intelligence agencies will watch you, and your colleagues in the navy will watch you. The pressure will always be on him.
But Eric couldn't help him, and his naval path could only be walked on his own.
It had been two days since he was separated from Aokiji, and Eric also led the members of the Dawn Pirates to leave the island where they met Robin and sail towards the north.
"It's time to try. How far is my current strength from the strongest in the world?" Eric stared ahead, which was the direction of the new world.
As for why this decision was made, it was also because Eric's own strength encountered a bottleneck. Only by fighting against strong men can you break through barriers faster and increase your strength quickly.
What's more, if he wants to help Luo avenge and kill Doflamingo, he will offend Doflamingo's big client-"Hundred Beasts" Kaido. (Currently, weapons produced in Wano should be sold to the World Government or other countries through the hands of Ming Ge of the Shichibukai)
If you want to gain a foothold in the new world, you can only rely on strong force. Otherwise, after you establish your country, you may be kicked out every few days.
This time against the Whitebeard Pirates, we can at least measure the real gap between the Dawn Pirates and the established "Yonko" Pirates, and Eric can also make his next plan -
When Eric revealed his plan, except for Perona and Porchi who cried out no, other members respected the captain's decision, especially the militants, whose eyes were ignited with a burning desire to fight.
In view of the fact that Big Mom hates Eric and his gang, the true strength of the red-haired gang is unknown, Kaido, the strongest creature, is particularly durable, and other pirate groups are not strong enough, the Whitebeard Pirates are a very good one. s Choice.
Well, the real reason is that the Whitebeard Pirates generally do not kill their enemies. At least after three days of fierce battle with the Roger Pirates, they can still have a drink with the Roger Pirates' crew.
And when Ace failed to challenge Whitebeard, Ace's men came to rescue Ace, and the members of the Whitebeard Pirates did not kill any of their opponents.
According to Whitebeard's preference, the worst result of defeat is that all members have an extra father.

"Wu Lao Xing, Wu Lao Xing! Something bad is happening!"
"What happened?"
"Just now, several surveillance ships that had been monitoring the Whitebeard Pirates were defeated by the Dawn Pirates!"
"What did you say?!"
"The Four Emperors 'Kui Long' Darren Eric and Whitebeard Edward Newgate seem to be in contact!"
"...!" The blond-haired Wulaoxing had a gloomy face.
The five-old star with a figure-eight beard said: "Okay, let Whitebeard help us solve this trouble."
"The only doubtful thing is that Eric only challenged the world's strongest Whitebeard two years after he was crowned the 'Four Emperors'. This is completely different from the reckless pirate style."
"No matter how cautious they are, those pirates who roam the sea are eager to sit on the strongest throne."
"Send the latest surveillance ship to the sea area where the fleet was defeated to search for the locations of the Whitebeard Pirates and Dawn Pirates!"
"Yes!" The young sailor took the order and left.
On the Moby-Dick, which looks like a white whale, the lookout is holding a telescope and looking around on the observation deck of the mast.
Until a steel battleship appeared in the center of the observation mirror. The luster of the steel reflected the power in the sunlight that the wooden sailboat did not have. The black thunder dragon flag on the mast marked the identity of the pirate group - the Dawn Pirates. !
"Dad! We found the Dawn Pirates' ship heading towards us!"
In a corner where no one saw, someone's eyes suddenly burst into light.
"Buzz buzz..." The sound of medical equipment was accompanied by the "buzz buzz" sound of drinking. The white-bearded man sitting in his seat put down the wine bottle, "I thought that this kind of young boy would be better after being promoted to the throne of the Four Emperors. He challenged me immediately, but I didn’t expect to wait two years before he came.”
"These guys come here with bad intentions." Marco rubbed his chin with his hand, "Or they are very confident in their own strength."
"Hahaha, let me see how capable this newcomer is."
"Um?"
In the distance, a bright light flashed, and an arrow passed through a distance of several thousand meters and hit Whitebeard directly. Whitebeard grabbed the arrow.
"As soon as you come up, are you going to show off your power?"
"Dad, there seems to be a letter at the end of the arrow."
"Huh... are you going to declare a challenge? It's really boring." After Whitebeard read the letter, he tore it into pieces, "Are all pirate brats these days so arrogant?"
"Whoosh" Another arrow flew with the letter.
There are a few big words written on it: "That's it."
"Grrrr!" Whitebeard laughed after reading, "What an interesting little ghost!"
"Then I'll do what you want and pay you for it!"
The two ships turned at the same time and headed towards a nearby deserted island.
◇
"Hey, Bilibili brat." Whitebeard stood opposite, coming towards him with unparalleled momentum, "Are you ready to die?"
"I won't die in your hands." Eric replied with a smile and raised the fire-tip gun in his hand.
"Gulu la la la, you little brat is quite arrogant." Whitebeard laughed.
"Is this the strongest in the world?" Esdeath stared at the other person and glanced at the next pineapple head, "Is this guy my opponent?"
Everyone has decided on their opponents in advance, all they need to do is find the target to fight with.
Not all members of the Dawn Pirates participated. Except for Da Vinci who was unwilling to fight, and the support staff Sweetheart Queen and Kallenkana, almost all members participated in the battle.
The youngest Wendy and Kuina volunteered. Eric didn't want them to participate in such a fierce battle at such a young age, but he couldn't resist them and said: "We are also members of the Dawn Pirates."
The handle of Cong Yunqie's knife was leaning on the ground, and his white beard, wearing black riding boots, was walking towards this side step by step.
Tikki, who was hidden among the crowd, opened his eyes wide and looked back and forth at the members of the Dawn Pirates.
"Then - let's say hello first..." After Eric finished speaking, there was a "crack" sound, and the blade of the fire-point gun was wrapped with a blue-black electric arc.
"This guy is as domineering as my father." The elders of the Whitebeard Pirates were surprised.
"This is..." White Beard showed his white teeth and smiled: "The overlord is entangled, is this what you rely on?"
"Of course - no!" The thunder and lightning burst out from itself, draped over Eric's body to form a set of thunder armor, turned into a bolt of thunder, and rushed straight towards the man in front of him.
Whitebeard's hands were clenched on Cong Yunqi, and an invisible air shield appeared. This is a move that perfectly combines the power of shaking fruits with slashing. The power of shock combined with Whitebeard's slashing, only a few people in the world can To withstand such an attack.
As Whitebeard swung out his sword, the huge blade wrapped in concussive force collided with the thunderous domineering force on the fire-tip spear.
"Click!"
The atmosphere around the two people was torn apart instantly, violent vibrations spread from the air, dozens of void cracks extended in all directions, and blue-black arcs of electricity were scurrying around.
After just one fight, a violent storm comparable to a Category 3 hurricane broke out. The violent air waves blew over everyone, and some new members of the Whitebeard Pirates were blown away by the strong wind.
This made the pirates of the Whitebeard Pirates realize that Eric's strength was not blown out by newspapers.
Seeing Whitebeard and Eric arguing in the field, Marco suddenly said: "Dad seems to be very happy."
"Yes." As an old man, Qiaozi also noticed, "It seems that dad admires this young man very much."
"Swish, swish, swish" several ice edges crossed the battlefield and shot at Marco.
"Hey, hey," Marco used his right hand that transformed into wings to fly away, "It's not good to make a sudden attack."
"The battle between the captains has begun," Esdeath held his military hat with one hand and walked toward Marco with a Western sword in his hand. "Our battle must also continue."
"This guy..." Marco glared at the opponent with half-closed eyes, and his whole body began to burn with blue flames. In the blink of an eye, Marco transformed into a phoenix form, spread out his wings burning with blue flames, and flew towards Esther. Sri Lanka.
The five-meter-tall Jozi was lured away by Scathach.
Chi Tong faced the foil sword Bista, and the sword blades collided with a sound of gold and iron.
Kurumi faced off against Izo, with bullets flying between the two.
Chironze and Kuriel shot at each other, and their arrows exploded the cannonballs flying in the air one by one.
"Hey, Marshall Teach, your opponent is me." Artoria, who was covered in pitch black armor, found Blackbeard hiding in the crowd. This was the task given to her by Eric. Watch out for this dangerous man. Guy.
"Oh, you are so strong, you should go and fight with the captain." Tiqi opened his big mouth with a few missing teeth and showed a harmless smile, "I don't even have a bounty, it's just a white beard A nobody in the pirate group."
"I don't have a bounty, I'm just an unknown member of the Dawn Pirates." Arturia blocked Tikki's words.
"That's right, Tiqi. The little girl has named you for a duel. As a man, you can't back down!" The members on the boat patted Tiqi on the shoulder, and several companions around him also pushed Tiqi out with smiles. .
"..." Tiqi hid the sinister look in his eyes and asked, "Why are you challenging me to a duel?"
"You look strong." Teach couldn't see Artoria's expression due to the black mask.
"Of course, there are no weaklings in our Whitebeard Pirates!" a pirate behind laughed loudly.
"No, you are weak." Artoria's words made the man's face freeze. "Marshall Teach is much stronger than you."
"Hey, Tikki, teach this woman a lesson for me!" The man who was angered by Artoria's words cheered Tikki.
"Hmph..." Artoria inserted the black holy sword into the ground and held the hilt tightly with both hands.
"boom--!"
Purple-black magic spewed out from Artoria's body, and red arcs surrounded her body. The ground was cracked by the huge magic power. Even if they couldn't feel the surging magic power, the members of the Whitebeard Pirates opposite were all Because of the sight in front of him, he swallowed in shock.
"What is this..." Tiqi's eyes widened. The unknown energy made him feel confused, but his intuition told him that the petite woman opposite was very strong!
"Let me educate you." Arturia pulled out the holy sword in front of her, and the tip of the sword shone with red magic.
"!" Tiqi gritted his incomplete teeth, and the steel claws in his hands were wrapped with armed domineering energy.
"Front, go to hell." The dark holy sword suddenly swung forward, converting the magic power into a light attack, and the red-black rainbow light rushed straight towards Blackbeard!
The red light shone on Blackbeard's twisted face, like a dragon's breath, directly hitting Marshall Teach. The magic attack burned Blackbeard's body, and Teach let out a scream, and was struck by this. The beam of light flew away and hit the distant woods.
When many members of the Whitebeard Pirates saw this scene, they were shocked by Artoria's strength and stood stunned on the spot.
"Tich!" Thatch shouted his friend's name, pointing his two swords at Artoria.
Bramank also took out a large mallet from the pocket under his neck, and faced Artoria with Thatch, "This woman is very strong, be careful!"
"Ah..." Thatch looked at the huge ravine created by Artoria at his feet, with a lot of cold sweat on his forehead, "What a terrifying slash."
"I don't understand why you are so anxious." Artoria said calmly: "That guy is not dead yet, and the injuries he suffered are not even serious injuries."
"What?" The two captains looked at each other. If the slash just now fell on them, they would definitely be seriously injured. From what she meant, Teach seemed to be stronger than the two of them?
In the woods, Tiqi, who was blown away from a distance, was rolling on the ground, "It hurts! Damn it... Where did this monster girl come from...!"
The clothes on his body were in tatters, and there were many wounds on his round body. As Tiqi rolled, blood mixed with dirt and black marks, making Tiqi's appearance even more miserable at this time.
"Tikki!" Some members of the Whitebeard Pirates went into the woods, looking for the injured Tikki.
'I have to pretend to be seriously injured...' Tiqi had a plan in his mind, 'This way I can take a break without revealing my true strength in front of them...'
"I-I'm here..." Tikki responded weakly.
"Great!" The companion shouted happily, "Tiqi is fine, can you get up?"
"It seems, no..." Teach pretended to try.
"Okay, hurry up." Several companions raised their fat black beards and slowly left the woods.
"Well done, young boy." Cong Yunqie's knife hilt hit the ground hard, and Whitebeard laughed, "You have such strength at such a young age. Are you here to take my head today?"
"Take your head?" Eric on the opposite side asked, "Why?"
Whitebeard was stunned, then laughed loudly and said: "You are the first guy to challenge me, but you don't want to take my head, so what is the purpose of your coming today?"
"I just came to measure the gap between me and the strongest in the world."
"Gla la la la... Let me show you the strongest strength in the world."
