Chapter 102: Brother Saint Saint Saiwen Who Cannot Be Caught Up With

New World, the Moby Dick.

Compared to the high spirits before departure, most members of the Whitebeard Pirates now looked somewhat dejected.

This was because they had dispatched most of their subordinate pirate crews to gather intelligence, yet after so many days, they still hadn't found a single trace of the Morning Star Pirates.

This feeling was truly unbearable.

A good friend they had been longing for had now achieved fame and glory and returned to the New World; as an old friend, they should naturally come to welcome him.

Instead, the good friend had gone missing!

"Old Man," Ma Ma Ma Erke muttered.

"Those two ships of Brother Saint Saint Saiwen are like ghost ships; one moment they appear in the waters of Lei Shen Island, the next they appear in Dressrosa."

"Old Man, is our ship too slow?"

Hearing this, Whitebeard shook his head.

"Gurarara, it is that they are too fast."

"Foolish sons, have you forgotten that Golden Lion is currently on Brother Saint Saint Saiwen's ship as well?"

Ma Ma Ma Erke's eyes lit up, and he pointed to the sky.

"Do you mean that the reason we haven't found the Donghai Dihuang is because those two ships are currently flying above it?"

By flying the ships, they could bypass all sightlines and descend directly upon their destination, seizing a stronghold by surprise—Brother Saint Saint Saiwen—

Truly you, as always, are so clever.

"Where exactly does Brother Saint Saint Saiwen want to go?"

Whitebeard spread out the map recorded by the navigator, his gaze sweeping successively over Lei Shen Island, Dressrosa, Wano Country, Whole Cake Island, Hachinosu, Elbaf...

Finally, it settled on Hachinosu.

"Gurararara, this boy."

Dream Lover has good taste; he specifically avoided the areas occupied by the Whitebeard Pirates, Kaido, and Charlotte Lingling, choosing Hachinosu as his stronghold.

Although Lei Shen Island fits Brother Saint Saint Saiwen's title, it is adjacent to the Red Line, too close to Mary Geoise, and near the location of the Navy G5 Branch.

If used as a pirate stronghold, it would face the Navy directly, and future conflicts between the two sides would be absolutely unavoidable.

Once trapped in a quagmire of war and fighting with genuine fury, the situation with the Navy would become one of life or death.

Dressrosa is a member nation of the World Government.

With Brother Saint Saint Saiwen's shrewdness, he would absolutely not tear up his relationship with the World Government completely at this time; that boy adheres to a path of low-profile development.

Wano Country is closed off, but after the Oden brothers return, there should be no problems, and Brother Saint Saint Saiwen once spent several years on Roger's ship with Oden...

He naturally would not choose Wano Country.

Charlotte Lingling occupies numerous islands in Whole Cake Island; with the current manpower of the Morning Star Pirates, even if they could seize it, they could not manage it.

It would also lead to a war with Charlotte Lingling.

Only Hachinosu, known as the Pirate Paradise as it was once the stronghold of the Rocks Pirates, hides vast gold mines and boasts an excellent geographical location.

They could advance to take Wano Country and Whole Cake Island, or retreat to solidify their hold on the Hachinosu stronghold and stand invincible.

They could also proceed to Elbaf and the Mercury Star Island.

For the current Morning Star Pirates, Hachinosu is undoubtedly the most suitable and perfect stronghold among all the islands in the New World.

Although Wang Zhi is called the Pirate Ancestor, facing Brother Saint Saint Saiwen, he would likely only suffer a defeat, with a high probability of dying on the spot.

Having figured this out, Whitebeard waved his large hand.

"Ma Ma Ma Erke, notify all the fleet groups; we are going home to hold a banquet."

Since the various powers cannot find the whereabouts of the Morning Star Pirates, they will inevitably use the movements of the Whitebeard Pirates to deduce where Brother Saint Saint Saiwen has gone.

In that case,

Whitebeard did not mind having all his subordinate pirate crews return to their headquarters, aiming to create a huge commotion and thereby attract everyone's attention.

By the time Wang Zhi realizes what is happening, Brother Saint Saint Saiwen should have already arrived at Hachinosu.

"Old Man, are we not looking anymore?"

Whitebeard grinned.

"Gurarara, Brother Saint Saint Saiwen will come."

Alas, my sons, you cannot even see Brother Saint Saint Saiwen's intentions; you are truly a bunch of foolish sons. Fortunately, with Old Man's prestige, I can continue to protect you.

Whitebeard suddenly had a ridiculous thought: after a few years, he would simply return to his hometown to retire, entrusting all these foolish sons to Brother Saint Saint Saiwen.

Given Dream Lover's character, he would certainly not treat these foolish boys poorly.

You boy do not wish to be Old Man's son, so Old Man will send all these foolish sons under your command.

The only thing that made Whitebeard feel regretful was that the most beautiful member of the Whitebeard Pirates was a man; otherwise, he could have been Dream Lover's father-in-law.

A son-in-law is also a son!!!

The Moby Dick and the Whitebeard Pirates' subordinate fleets returned to their headquarters in a grand procession; upon learning this news, the various powers became even more expectant.

The Morning Star Pirates were like a prehistoric great shark, forcibly breaking into the New World waters, about to stir up a storm of blood and rain, and rewrite the New World's power structure.

World Economic News Headquarters.

Morgans did not hesitate to move his mobile headquarters, temporarily sailing above the New World, solely to personally photograph this shocking, unprecedented battle.

"Barzab, charge quickly!"

If Barzab Saint Saint Saiwen could defeat Whitebeard this time, he would directly surpass Whitebeard to become the strongest man in the world, and the Morning Star Pirates would also become the strongest pirate crew.

This is an unprecedented feat never before achieved by anyone.

Pirate Paradise, Hachinosu.

Upon receiving the news, Wang Zhi immediately let out a strange laugh. "Whitebeard, hurry up and go, fight him!"

"Fight! Hurry up and fight!"

Since the Battle of Eda War that year, the New World had not seen for a long time: a war launched by two great pirates fighting for the title of the world's strongest.

Wang Zhi could already imagine that scene—

It would surely be extremely bloody.

The Whitebeard Pirates had great numbers; although the strength of their division commanders was not as high as the executives of the Morning Star Pirates, they could simply fill the gap with human wave tactics!

Over a dozen division commanders, three to a group.

They would surely be able to hold back the three great swordsmen: Hawk Mihawk, Master Tenghu, and Golden Lion Shi Ji,

not to mention the thirty-plus subordinate pirate crews and nearly thirty thousand pirate members; taking down the Morning Star Pirates would be no problem at all.

(During the Summit War, the Whitebeard Pirates had a total of 16 captains and 43 subordinate pirate crews, but this is twenty years ago, so there is still room for improvement.)

Of course, the main battle would surely be the great clash between Barzab Saint Saint Saiwen and Whitebeard.

"Tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk."

Wang Zhi stuck out his forked tongue.

"Such a grand spectacle; I wish I could go see it myself: Is Whitebeard stronger, or will Barzab Saint Saint Saiwen surpass him?"

The sunlight outside the window was brilliant, just like Wang Zhi's extremely joyful mood right now: happy, extremely happy.

However, the originally cloudless, clear sky suddenly turned into flashes of lightning and thunder—

Thick bolts of red, white, yellow, and purple lightning filled the entire sky in the blink of an eye; the lightning hanging down from the sky formed a semi-circular dome, forcibly covering the entire Honeycomb Island.

Wang Zhi instantly froze, murmuring in his mouth.

"Oh no, is this coming for me?!"
