Chapter 75

Sachi was tidying up the banquet while listening to Bai Hu Zi and Ma Erke's conversation. Hearing this, he trembled, turned to look at Bai Hu Zi again, and tears of emotion filled his eyes.

Ma Erke's expression turned extremely strange as he asked, "The Whitebeard Pirates and the Kaido Pirates and Big Mom Pirates aren't on good terms… could it be that the guests you're hosting are the Red-Haired Pirates?"

In Ma Erke's understanding, only a Yonko-level pirate crew could make Bai Hu Zi so solemn and treat them with such gravity.

But in Ma Erke's past memories, Bai Hu Zi had always regarded the Red-Haired Pirates with the attitude of a senior toward a promising junior.

Hosting a banquet specifically for them doesn't quite fit Bai Hu Zi's character.

"Of course it's not the Red-Haired Pirates!" Bai Hu Zi lifted his head, his voice tinged with melancholy and nostalgia. "They're just some old friends."

Hearing this, Ma Erke swallowed hard and dared not ask further.

Who could possibly be Bai Hu Zi's old friends?

Ma Erke involuntarily recalled the Roger Pirates from long ago…

Although Bai Hu Zi didn't realize Ma Erke had misunderstood, he didn't pay it much mind. At this moment, he himself felt a flicker of unease.

Like someone about to meet an online friend they've chatted with for years but have never seen in person.

Since becoming the ruler of the seas, he hadn't felt this kind of emotion in a very long time.

Suddenly, Bai Hu Zi's expression froze. His Kenbunshoku Haki, always active, sensed an anomaly in space, and he stood up instantly.

The Gura Gura no Mi activated, shaking off all the needles on his body, and he burst into laughter.

"My old friends have arrived!"

All members of the Whitebeard Pirates froze, glancing around, exchanging bewildered looks.

Where are Bai Hu Zi's old friends?

Could the large group of guests Father is hosting be invisible?

The next instant, a brilliant, blazing white light erupted in the center of the banquet.

Dozens of people appeared in the center of the Moby Dick.

Standing at the very front was Su Han.

Su Han wore a faint smile and bowed slightly toward Bai Hu Zi. His voice was clear and resonant.

"Old Man Whitebeard, I'm Su Xiao Xiao!"

"Pleased to meet you. Please guide me."
