"Whitebeard, is there something wrong with your health?"
"You'd better be concerned about the wound on your chest, kid. Gudugudu...ha" Whitebeard took a big sip of wine: "This wine tastes quite good."
"Yes, and it's very expensive." The high-priced wine bought from the system was used to bribe Rayleigh last time. Even the members on the ship could only drink it occasionally. This time it was used to entertain Whitebeard.
"Really? Then give me some more..." Whitebeard picked up those high-end-looking wine bottles and took a swig.
"You don't look like a sea emperor, but like a miser."
"Hey, Kui Long, be careful what you say!" Marco next to him was unhappy.
"Ha...it's okay, it's okay, this wine is really good." He breathed a long sigh of relief, and White Beard said happily: "Boy, you are quite good. Remember to give me this kind of wine in the future."
Eric glanced at the drip hanging on White Beard's body and the buzzing medical equipment behind him, curled his lips and said: "You'd better drink less, don't ruin your body."
"Who said it? If you have wine now, you will get drunk the next day. Just a little wine will not damage your body. Bang!" Whitebeard slammed the wine bottle on the ground.
"Hey, Kui Long." Marco put his arms around Eric's neck and said, "Where did you find so many powerful women?"
"It stinks so much. How many days have you not showered?"
"What did you say?!" Marco stood up and smelled it, "It has no smell. Are you lying to me?"
"You're kidding." Eric waved his hand, "This is a secret."
"Tch, stingy."
"You can have another fight with Esdeath, or Scathach."
"Never!"
While the three of them were talking, Miku rushed in in a panic and threw herself into Eric's arms.
"So many men, Darling~"
"Sorry, just stay with me." He hugged Miku to his side and drove Marco away. "Sorry, Miku is more afraid of men."
"Really...it seems like he has suffered a lot." Marco, as the ship's doctor, could see at a glance that Miku's body was trembling slightly, but he didn't say much about Eric's actions.
"Gu la la la... Boy, you tortured and killed a Celestial Dragon during the live broadcast. What are you planning to do?" Whitebeard narrowed his eyes and glanced at Eric next to him.
"What to do..." Eric thought, "Maybe it's to declare war on the World Government, or maybe it's because I can't stand their way of treating people as slaves. Just do whatever you want."
"Gu la la la... What you did reminds me of a person, but his personality is completely different."
"Don't tell me it's Rocks D. Gibek."
"At your age, you have actually heard of this name?" Whitebeard looked surprised, "The world government didn't erase his existence?"
"I learned from other places that if I fell into the hands of the government, I would probably end up worse than him."
"Darling..." Mijiu looked at the man in front of her uneasily.
"Hahaha, don't worry, the opponent this time is Whitebeard, not the Navy. If it's the Navy, it will run away if it can't beat me."
"So come..."
"As your son?" Eric interrupted: "Whitebeard, I respect you very much as a person. You use Whitebeard's flag to protect towns in non-confederate countries and adopt orphans who lost their parents due to the war. But - "
"You protect them too much. If the young eagle does not leave the nest and stays under the wings of the eagle forever, it will not be able to grow. If you die, these..."
Marco retorted: "Dad will not die!"
"Are you serious?" Eric and Marco looked at each other: "It's obvious that the white beard is getting older, and that bright blond hair... Pfft, I'm sorry."
"Hey, hey, why are you pointing at my hair?" Whitebeard said unhappily: "At least I am also your elder."
"Besides, what's wrong with a father protecting his son?!"
Eric: "..."
"Hmph, do as you like, Whitebeard." Eric drank the wine in the glass in one sip, "By the way, what's the difference in strength between me and Kaido of the Beasts?"
"Your target is Kaido?" Whitebeard asked in surprise. He looked Eric up and down and said, "Your strength is still worse than him. If you add the Ice Queen or the magic gun, the combined strength of the two of them Should be able to defeat him.”
"Beat instead of kill?"
"That bastard won't die that easily. Even if I win over Kaido, the awakening of the phantom beast ability, coupled with his original super physical fitness, will make him a monster that will never die."
Marco suggested: "If you want to attack Kaido, maybe our two groups can join forces."
"I still want to defeat the Beast Pirates with my own ability." Eric declined politely: "In this way, Wano Country will become my territory."
Whitebeard half-squinted his eyes, "What do you want to do to Wano Country?"
"Don't worry, I'm not a cruel guy like Kaido."
"Really... Gudu Gudu, you should think about how to beat that guy." Whitebeard kept talking, either drinking or talking, "I can beat Kaido because this bastard often comes to challenge me. .”
"If he leads his pirate group, with the three calamities as the leaders and the flying six as the backbone of the animal-type ability users, against the Dawn Pirates' current strength, I'm afraid there is no chance of winning."
Whitebeard advised: "You are still young. You can accumulate more strength before challenging him." He was worried about this young man being so impatient to challenge an opponent he couldn't beat.
"Don't worry, I'm unfortunately very short-lived." Eric replied with a smile: "When people thought that I would break into the new world in a hurry, I was practicing steadily. Only in this way can others not understand my movements. .”
"Really, that's good, Gudu Gudu..." After drinking for a while, White Beard asked with a sad look on his face: "Did 'Golden Lion' Shi Ji die in your hands?"
"Yes." Eric nodded and admitted: "Because of the rudder on his head, his strength has become much weaker, but... he is worthy of being a legendary pirate. When he forcefully pulled out the rudder, That moment took us by surprise.”
"Really, there is another guy missing from our era." Whitebeard is not sad. Although the two have been in the same pirate group, their relationship is not very close, and in the Rocks pirate group, It is even more common for companions to fight each other.
I just lament that I am getting old, and these tubes on my body make me feel more irritated. I don’t know how long I can protect this family...
"I understand that you want to protect me, but I don't want to be protected all the time." Eric pulled Mijiu to stand up, "Thank you, old man, for being a sparring partner. Then, let's say goodbye."
"Hmph, come on, leave the wine." Whitebeard waved his hand away angrily.
"Let's go, everyone of the Dawn Pirates!"
Namuir said with regret: "I hope I can see your true face next time. I don't even know your name."
"My name and appearance don't matter, I'm just a ninja living in the shadows." Kisame's back was bandaged again.
Many people said goodbye with reluctance, especially Captain Sachi of the Fourth Division, who admired Artoria's strength so much that he cooked a bunch of delicious food with his own hands, but was scolded by Artoria. Finally, at her strong request, he made There are many high-calorie foods such as burgers and fried chicken.
Maybe this means we don’t know each other without fighting.
Amidst the roar of air, the steel battleship Dauntless set sail.
"Kisame." Eric came to Kisame's room, "I have a particularly important task that I want to give you."
"Is it finally here? The mission..." Kisame's expression under the mask could not be seen clearly, but Eric knew that he was grinning happily.
"I'm afraid only you are qualified for this task. To be honest, Deidara's features are too obvious and he is really not suitable for this task."
"So, what is my mission?"
"I want you to infiltrate the Beast Pirates and become a spy."
