Chapter 32: Tony Stark Panic Mode: Old Dog Edition

Euromight spoke these words after making a great decision.

He was ultimately different from the top figures in the guild who were still at their peak.

Now, he had already passed the OFA spark to the young heroes, and his own injuries had not yet healed. In fact, every transformation, every use of that immense power, came with strict time limits.

But for Euromight, this did not matter.

If the guild truly needed his help, if the guild’s enemies were truly irredeemable villains, he would never withhold his strength.

Fallen Angel Twelve-Winged Black Cat Clan: “...If only I truly had power.”

Black Cat suddenly felt a touch of disappointment. Though she had always acted like a moe-chan and called herself a fallen angel, that did not mean she lacked self-awareness—she knew perfectly well the limits of her own power.

If anyone in the guild truly got into trouble, even if she wanted to help, she could not possibly lend a hand.

Xia Shizi: “To gain power has never been easy, has it? Take the people in this guild—for example, Whitebeard, no need to elaborate, he endured countless battles in the Pirate King world! Duke Voban risked his very life to slay a god. The symbol of peace underwent horrific training to inherit OFA.”

Xia Zhiqiu Shi Yu had a very clear understanding of power: you gain something, you inevitably lose something in return.

Su Xiao: “Exactly! Powerful strength is never handed to you on a silver platter. Even if you start with an incredible foundation, even if someone is willing to pass down their immense power to you, you still must endure grueling training to truly master it and make it your own.”

Su Han deeply understood this—he was the one with an extraordinary foundation who could acquire power under favorable conditions, yet even he had to struggle fiercely to fully integrate those powers.

While the guild members were debating this issue, Whitebeard finally appeared.

Be My Son: “Something happened earlier, so I didn’t join the guild chat room.”

Be My Son: “By the way, why did you all rush to call me out? Did something happen?”

Be My Son: “@Su Xiao. Chief, did you run into an enemy who needs my help? No problem—just pay me a cross-dimensional talisman!”

Su Xiao: “???”

Had he heard something similar somewhere just now?

Su Han had wanted to call out Whitebeard to ask what was going on—but Whitebeard pulled this stunt, leaving Su Han speechless.

Xia Shizi: “!!!”

Xia Zhiqiu Shi Yu was also left without a reply.

Tony isn't the richest: "Shock! @OldManIsMarquis. Marquis Elder, did you see that? Whitebeard stole your line just now—any special thoughts on that?"

OldManIsMarquis: "Grand Leader! This is Whitebeard’s provocation toward you—and also toward me."

OldManIsMarquis: "Whitebeard is actually imitating me!"

OldManIsMarquis: "If I weren’t currently without any points, I’d head straight to Iron Man’s world first, then to One Piece’s world! But time isn’t far off—soon, if I go to Sadingdao and slay two gods live-streamed, I’ll definitely earn points."

Tony isn't the richest: "???"

Tony Stark was utterly baffled. He suddenly felt the Marquis Elder had a deep obsession with him.

Tony isn't the richest: "Hey hey hey! Elder, you’re going too far—this is bullying the weak! If you’re really that bold, just go to One Piece’s world and face Whitebeard head-on, or go to Overlord’s world and challenge AFO, the most vicious criminal in history. No one’s stopping you. Why must you come to our world?"

Tony isn't the richest: "Even if you insist on picking a fight with me, have the guts to wait until I’m 250! Believe me, by then I’ll be able to hang you up and beat you senseless."

OldManIsMarquis: "Tch! I wonder if you’ll even live to 250?"

Tony isn't the richest: "..."

Damn, the Marquis of Vamb seems hard to fool?

OldManIsMarquis: "Forget it. @Tony isn't the richest. If you truly want to fight me when you’re 250, no problem—I recall I have a power related to the dead. Die, and I’ll pull you out of hell."

Tony isn't the richest: "!!!"

Too much, too much.

What grudge? Even after death, you won’t let go.

Su Han watched the battle between Tony Stark and the Marquis of Vamb in the guild, each move lethal, and couldn’t help smiling faintly.

Su Xiao: "@OldManIsMarquis. Don’t bully Tony Stark."

Tony isn't the richest: "Yes yes! The Grand Leader is right."

Tony Stark was deeply moved. He suddenly felt the JARVIS program and Iron Man armor he’d given Su Han weren’t wasted—when it mattered, the Grand Leader was still reliable.

Su Xiao: "@OldManIsMarquis. Even if you truly want to trouble Tony Stark, wait until you’ve saved enough points, then quietly enter Iron Man’s world and confront him! Why make it so public? What if you scare Tony off, and by the time you arrive, he’s fled across the entire world? His Iron Man armor is fast."

OldManIsMarquis: "Ah, I see! The Grand Leader speaks wisely."

Tony isn't the richest: "???"

At that moment, Tony Stark felt a cold breeze brush his back.

Tony Stark said he retracted his previous words. This guild’s leader was indeed a schemer.

Su Xiao: “@Come be my son. I’m not joking anymore—tell me seriously, what exactly happened just now? Or were you just sleeping?”

Come be my son: “Are you that curious?”

Fallen Angel Twelve-Winged Black Cat Clan: “It’s really strange! After all, Dad spends most of his time lurking in the guild—except when he’s sleeping—making him the guild’s number one lurker.”

Whitebeard’s constant lurking in the group is normal. The reason is simple: Whitebeard is now old, and most of his time only requires him to sit quietly with his eyes closed aboard his Moby Dick.

And when Whitebeard closes his eyes, it’s the perfect time to lurk in the guild.

So Whitebeard is genuinely the number one lurker.

Come be my son: “...Alright, since you’ve brought it up this far, I won’t hide it anymore. Not long ago, something did happen on my end.”

Come be my son: “My son Ace was captured by the Marines.”

Fallen Angel Twelve-Winged Black Cat Clan: “!!!”

Tony Isn’t the Richest: “What the hell!”

I Am a Marquis: “Shocked!”

Jackie Chan Doesn’t Want to Dig: “Damn!”

Xia Shizi: “...Is Whitebeard really that incompetent? Wait, didn’t you kill Blackbeard yourself? And didn’t you tell us before that at least one captain-level crew member was always guarding him?”

Su Han, upon reading Whitebeard’s message, was stunned, nearly doubting Whitebeard had typed the wrong thing.

Come be my son: “Ah... the situation is a bit special! The Marine storyline here differs from what I saw in One Piece. Now, the Marines have a fourth Admiral besides Akainu, Aokiji, and Kizaru—Admiral White Bear. Of course, White Bear wasn’t originally an Admiral; he only officially became the fourth after capturing my son Ace.”

Xia Shizi: “???”

Xia Shizi: “In One Piece, can the Marines have four Admirals at once? Isn’t the official structure limited to three?”

Tony Isn’t the Richest: “Who is White Bear? If you said Peach Rabbit, I’d understand. But what the hell is Admiral White Bear?”

I Am a Marquis: “Ace was captured? By some random new Admiral? White Bear only became an Admiral after capturing Ace because he informed Admiral战国 of Ace’s true identity.”

My Sister Is Unbearable: “I can’t understand this! Even if White Bear knew Ace’s true identity, why would he do this? Doesn’t he fear angering Karp to death?”

Symbol of Peace: “Perhaps he really isn’t afraid... After all, Karp is more a Marine than a grandfather. He may turn a blind eye to the pirate king’s bloodline, but he has no reason—and no face—to stop others from carrying out Marine justice.”

Su Han frowned, sinking into thought.

The most critical question now is: where did this White Bear come from?

“Ding! Guild detected a special anomaly...”

“Ding! Guild detected a transmigrator in the One Piece world!”

“Ding! Transmigrator information has been decoded!”

Name: Eddie D. Perus

Title: Admiral White Bear

Type: Transmigrator

Affiliation: Marines

Actions: Attempted to kill Ace, son of Pirate King Gol D. Roger, while luring the Whitebeard Pirates to attack the Marine Headquarters—to kill Whitebeard—and hoping to become the next Marine Fleet Admiral after战国.

“Ding! Transmigrator appeared, disrupting the balance of the One Piece world! Special guild mission issued.”

Guild Mission: Kill Admiral White Bear

Mission Reward: 30,000 points (equally divided among all participants)

Mission Requirement: All guild members may enter the One Piece world during this mission—no points required.

Guild announcement complete. The entire guild chat room fell silent.

After a long while, Tony Stark was the first to break the silence.

Tony Isn’t the Richest: “!!!”

Tony Isn’t the Richest: “What the hell! A guild mission like this? I’ve always wondered why this guild even formed—after all, everything must have a reason. Now I think I understand: this guild probably exists to handle transmigrators and similar anomalies.”

Su Han rubbed his chin, his eyes flickering slightly as he nodded thoughtfully. Then he typed a message into the guild chat.

Su Xiao: “It might not just be about transmigrators...”

Symbol of Peace: “...Guild Master, for example?”

Su Xiao: “There might also be轮回者 added later—though that’s just my guess. But since the mission is out, we might as well consider going to the One Piece world to rescue Whitebeard’s son from the execution platform.”

Daoist True Person Zhang Sanfeng: “...These past few days, I spent tremendous effort finishing One Piece and am now catching up on Naruto. Given the power system of the One Piece world, I’d likely just die if I went. To avoid causing trouble, I won’t go.”

Fallen Angel Twelve-Winged Black Cat Clan: “!!! Did Zhang Sanfeng just come back from the dead?”

I Am a Marquis: “@Daoist True Person Zhang Sanfeng. Honestly, with you silent for so long, I thought you’d died—you look so old. Unless you’re a cultivator, you’d be nearing the end of your life.”

Daoist True Person Zhang Sanfeng: “!!!”

Daoist True Person Zhang Sanfeng: “I’ve been in seclusion lately, contemplating the path of immortals and gods. If my counterparts in other worlds have reached that stage, why can’t I in this world grasp even a sliver of breakthrough?”

Fallen Angel Twelve-Winged Black Cat Clan: “...I really wanted to meet Dad this time! But I’m probably even weaker than Zhang Sanfeng—if I went, I’d just be a burden to Dad.”
