New World. In a certain sea area.
Several massive warships, like stars surrounding the moon, escorted the clearly larger pirate ship in the center! The entire Whitebeard Pirates crew was filled with indignation!
"Damn World Government, they sent people to capture Teach, and now they send people over to say it wasn't them..."
Clenching his fists, the eighth division commander, the fish-man Squard, his face filled with rage, revealed sharp, shark-like teeth, looking somewhat flustered: "What a joke!"
"They definitely want to intentionally stabilize us... and then let the Navy secretly prepare..."
...
"Marco, have you found anything?" Whitebeard, with infusion tubes stuck all over his body, sat on his throne with a somewhat gloomy expression, not responding to his angry and unyielding commanders. In his palm was a small "887" Den Den Mushi.
He didn't show any strong anger or the imagined fury. He appeared very calm, but his tall and robust physique, and the terrifying aura that swept over them, were filled with solemnity and suppression, making people involuntarily feel a chill.
"Pops, I and Jozu repeatedly checked the battlefield on Omiel Island, and also questioned the residents and pirates present on the island..." On the other end of the Den Den Mushi, Marco, far away outside the town of Omiel Island, looked at the devastated battlefield with a slightly grim expression. At the same time, he frowned and said to the Den Den Mushi: "The battle scene at the time was quite intense, and the extent of the destruction on the ground was truly astonishing. I'm afraid Teach, that low-key guy, usually concealed considerable strength!"
This level of destruction, according to the descriptions of the eyewitnesses, was definitely not something Teach, in his impression, could have achieved. Facing strong individuals from CP0 of that level, he shouldn't have been able to hold out for long. The only explanation could be that this guy had hidden his strength.
But precisely just before, a guy who claimed to be a World Government CP informant actively sought them out, repeatedly stating that this incident was not orchestrated by the World Government, but that someone was impersonating CP0 and wanted to provoke a war between the two sides, which made him somewhat suspicious.
"What is that Teach guy thinking, after all?"
"No matter whether Teach was hiding his strength when he was on the ship or not, as long as he didn't violate the only iron rule on the ship, he will always be my son..." Whitebeard directly stood up, a powerful aura erupting from him, carrying an unparalleled sense of oppression: "Whatever the World Government says, if this old man believes it, then what kind of pirate am I?"
In the Whitebeard Pirates, the only iron rule was not to harm comrades. As long as this taboo was not touched, Whitebeard didn't care at all whether Teach usually intentionally concealed his strength!
"Marco, you tell those guys from the World Government, didn't they say someone was impersonating CP0? Then find this old man the evidence, or else obediently bring Teach back unharmed!"
On his massive, muscular torso, with an infusion tube stuck to his body, his imposing aura was not affected in the slightest.
"If there's no result in one day, don't even think about this old man resting easily!" His somewhat calm tone carried unbridled anger, full of dominance.
...
Sabaody Archipelago.
"Ship~~~ ship~~~"
"They are a ship~~~ they are a ship~~~"
From afar, a burst of singing drifted over, causing many soldiers in the War Room to turn their heads.
A huge pirate ship, exquisitely and beautifully designed, resembling a fairytale kingdom, slowly approached. Its design was very peculiar, featuring a skeleton waving its hand, wearing a top hat and a collared coat with fur, and applying lipstick!
What was somewhat surprising was that the smiling face emblem on the bow of the ship seemed alive, opening its mouth to sing.
"What is that?"
"Huh? A ship is singing..."
"Am I seeing things!?"
"It's Big Mom Pirates' singing ship!"
Some soldiers couldn't help but widen their eyes, looking at the huge pirate ship that was opening its mouth to sing, feeling somewhat disbelieving.
The entire huge ship seemed alive, and it kept singing without stopping. This was a bit too bizarre.
"Ah, even though I've heard rumors, it's my first time seeing it!"
"Indeed, it's just like a living creature, hehe..."
Niji and Yonji, who were sweating profusely from training, looked at the huge pirate ship not far on the sea, which was steadily approaching the Sabaody Archipelago, watching with some interest.
And on the giant singing ship...
"Is that Germa's War Room?"
A tall, somewhat burly man with pale and menacing eyes, wearing biscuit-like armor and carrying a sharp longsword, also glanced at the "Sea Fortress" formed by several War Rooms gathered on the sea in the distance. He couldn't help but let out a cold laugh: "I didn't expect there to be quite a few interested individuals in that unknown Logia-type Devil Fruit."
Germa had been making waves in the world economic reports recently, so it was hard not to know about them.
There were also a large number of dark dealings in military and other aspects between the Big Mom Pirates and the Donquixote Doflamingo family, and their relationship was passable.
Just having learned that Doflamingo actually couldn't even handle a little brat, Cracker felt somewhat displeased.
"No matter what, it's best to get it, but if we can't, it's no big deal..."
A man with hair shaped like three blades, shirtless save for a black cloak, and wearing black gloves, slightly shrugged, saying indifferently: "No matter how strong a Devil Fruit ability is, it depends on who uses it. A waste of a person, no matter how strong a Devil Fruit they get, is still a waste. Besides, our Big Mom Pirates don't lack Devil Fruits!"
The Big Mom Pirates did not lack Devil Fruits. This time, they came to participate in the auction actually just as a detour. After all, it was a Logia-type Devil Fruit. No matter how bad it was, it couldn't be too bad. But it wasn't absolutely necessary to get it.
The main purpose was to go to Fish-Man Island to order a large quantity of snacks for Big Mom. Their mother loved the snacks from Fish-Man Island the most.
In contrast, the more than a dozen commanders of the Whitebeard Pirates, and the pirate ship captains under them, might not be weak in strength, but in terms of Devil Fruit users, they were indeed far fewer than the Big Mom Pirates.
"Heh, their comrade was taken by CP0. The Whitebeard Pirates probably aren't in the mood to participate in any auction. The Big Mom Pirates are mostly just interested in that Zoan-type Devil Fruit..."
Cracker, carrying his famous sword Pretzel, looked terrifying with his fierce and grim face. He said with some amusement, "I really want to meet the Germa brat who could make 'Joker' that guy suffer!"
