Chapter 320: The New Year’s Appointment with Whitebeard (Large Chapter)
"Humans are also animals." Wang Hai stopped talking and did not continue, but he knew that Whitebeard would understand what he meant.
Whitebeard didn't say anything directly, but thought about it while drinking.
"What are you going to do?" After a while, the battle on the ring had begun, and Whitebeard said.
Wang Hai: "Of course we have a good talk with Golden Lion. We don't need him to hand over all the IQ plants, we just need enough research samples."
Whitebeard nodded, and Wang Hai knew that he had agreed.
In this matter, if possible, Wang Hai would of course hope to trade directly with Golden Lion, and then obtain Plant IQ and even related research results from him.
but.
The Golden Lion regards this thing as a hope of revenge against the World Government, and I'm afraid it won't be so easy to come up with.
As a result, Wang Hai had to use some means.
For example, asking Whitebeard to help makes Golden Lion have to compromise.
"I heard what you and Bista said before, so are you willing to use your abilities for my sons now? Are there any conditions?"
The two of them had a tacit understanding and didn't say anything more about the golden lion. Instead, Whitebeard talked about another topic.
"Conditions? Don't underestimate me Newgate." Wang Hai looked angry.
Whitebeard said nothing and looked at him quietly, with an expression like "You continue to act."
"This really doesn't exist." Wang Hai tried to explain.
"Well, not at all."
Wang Hai didn't beat around the bush anymore.
"I will only use my abilities to those who have my approval."
"What did Qibu Kaiten Yaksha say?" Whitebeard said.
"This is a deal. Doflamingo provides Devil Fruit and channel information, so I help him train his men."
Wang Hai had no choice but to explain.
"My ability has two effects. One is to help a person quickly develop talents, and the other is to break through bottlenecks..."
"Dover only obtained the service of rapid talent development from me through the transaction. If you also want to do this, it is not impossible."
Whitebeard snorted angrily.
Do his sons need this now?
What is more needed is to break through the bottleneck.
But it's not an easy task.
At the same time, talent and potential also need to be improved.
In this regard, the plant IQ in the hands of the golden lion may be useful.
Whitebeard understood that Wang Hai was eating him to death.
Also.
He didn't know much about the martial arts that Wang Hai possessed, such as the Pure Yang Wuji Kung Fu and the Everlasting Eternal Spring Kung Fu.
But regarding the existence of the Golden Bell Cover and Dragon-Elephant Prajna Technique, Wang Hai did not deliberately hide it, and he could also see some of it.
Therefore, I know how powerful these two martial arts are.
"I can't let my sons become your subordinates unless...they want to." Whitebeard said in a sullen voice.
Obviously, he could see Wang Hai's ambitions and ideas.
This is the plan to eat the Whitebeard Pirates.
Wang Hai shook his head: "I think you misunderstood. Marco and the others are good friends. How could I want them to be my subordinates?"
Whitebeard's eyes suddenly widened: "Do you want me to..."
Whitebeard almost couldn't help but burst out in a domineering manner.
After his voice rose, it attracted the attention of many people.
"What's wrong, dad?" Marco asked, sitting in front.
Because Whitebeard is big and has to drink, he has a special throne, which is some distance away from the seats of other people.
Mainly because everyone else would feel the pressure sitting next to him.
Therefore, there is no seat set up close to him.
Wang Hai is now sitting directly on the steps.
The two of them spoke in a low voice at first so that others would not eavesdrop, so they had no idea what they were talking about.
"It's okay." Whitebeard waved his hand.
"What exactly do you want?" Whitebeard lowered his voice and asked as the others continued to shift their attention to the ring.
Of course the entire Whitebeard Pirates.
However, Wang Hai did not say this directly.
He shook his head: "I think you misunderstood, Newgate."
Whitebeard said nothing, just looked at him, wanting to see what he would say.
Wang Hai continued: "We have known each other for so long. Don't you still know what kind of person I am?"
Whitebeard: A cunning and ambitious boy.
"You should know that this sea is too chaotic. Many people are like me and have no sense of security. More people don't even know which one will come first, tomorrow or death."
Wang Hai said calmly.
"The greater the ability, the greater the responsibility. Although I don't agree with this sentence, and I don't remember who said it, if you have the ability, you should do something."
"The greater the ability, the greater the responsibility." When Whitebeard heard this sentence, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart, and his gaze towards Wang Hai also softened.
Once upon a time, he also thought about changing the world.
But in the end reality made him realize that even if he was called the strongest in the world, he would not be able to completely change the world.
Perhaps, force can determine many things, but there are also many things that cannot be solved by force.
What's more, he also knows that his strength has not yet reached the level of being invincible in the world.
Therefore, after recognizing the reality, he chose to build a family within his ability, protect his children, and maintain stability.
Wang Hai: "I think I have some abilities, but at the same time I happen to be disgusted with many things in this world, so I plan to bring some changes to this world."
Having said this, Wang Hai paused and took a sip of wine.
"This is also the reason why I changed my plan and built Peace Island. Originally, I just thought about cooperating with your Whitebeard Pirates, but since I can do more, I did it."
Whitebeard also took a sip of wine, and then sighed: "I am not as good as you in this regard."
Wang Hai: "Don't say that. The creation of Peace Island and its stable development to this day are all inseparable from your deterrence."
Whitebeard didn't think otherwise. In this regard, he felt that Wang Hai was indeed telling the truth.
"You should be able to see that if Heping Island continues to develop, it will not only provide me with a platform to perform, but also provide a stable and long-term place for your children to live. In the end, it will also pose a threat to the world government."
Whitebeard said nothing. He had no doubts about the development prospects of Heping Island.
Over the past year, even though he didn't know how to develop and expand a territory before, he has learned a lot and understood a lot now.
There is no doubt that Peace Island has great potential to become a giant force that can threaten the rule of the World Government.
Life here can be guaranteed materially, and as the land continues to expand, many people can live.
Moreover, there are not so many messy rules here, only peace and stability.
Just these are enough to attract people to join.
Those who join, except those with ulterior motives, will quickly integrate here and contribute their own strength to safeguarding the peace and stability here.
Just like Roger started the Age of Discovery.
The existence of Peace Island is a blessing for people who are tired of the current life full of turmoil, oppression, exploitation and unrest.
This will allow those who yearn for peace and stability and those who have justice in their hearts to continue to fight for the past.
"If Peace Island wants to continue to exist, it will definitely need some guardians who stand in front of it to open up roads, overcome obstacles, and fight against all those who try to destroy it."
Wang Hai continued, as if mumbling to himself.
"This requires unwavering faith, fearless will, and determination to never regret."
When he said this, Whitebeard vaguely felt that he understood what he meant.
"You should know the importance of my two abilities, so I need to make sure I am one of my own."
Whitebeard's thoughts turned out to be true.
It can also be understood that what Wang Hai means is that at the beginning, it is impossible to completely trust the people of the Whitebeard Pirates.
This made him a little uncomfortable.
"Don't you still trust the credibility of me and the Whitebeard Pirates?" Whitebeard said.
"Blackbeard." Wang Hai said a name.
Whitebeard's face suddenly turned dark.
The existence of Blackbeard was indeed caused by Whitebeard's mistake.
Under normal circumstances, Whitebeard would never doubt his children easily.
Even if they make mistakes, they will only feel that they have not educated them well.
Different from the original plot, with the addition of Charlie, through her prophecy ability, Whitebeard knows that Blackbeard Teach will defect in the future.
He even killed his companions and escaped.
Nothing had happened yet, and he felt that he had not educated Tiqi well.
Therefore, during the special training for his sons, he paid special attention to Tiqi and wanted to educate him well.
In this process, even though Teach tried his best to hide it, his true strength was eventually exposed.
He was originally just a team member, but he had strength comparable to that of top-ranked captains like Marco and the others.
If it's just like this, it's nothing. At most, he thinks Teach is ambitious and has a gloomy mind.
This is not a big deal.
In the Whitebeard Pirates, the sons and daughters of Whitebeard have all kinds of personalities.
As long as it is not a brutal killing and there is no moral bottom line, it is allowed.
It's just ambition, it's normal.
It's okay to be insidious, as long as it's not directed at one of your own people.
However, after a test, Teach's true face was revealed.
if it is possible.
Of course Wang Hai also hopes to take Tiqi under his command.
After all, this is a future Yonko-level warrior.
Maybe even the ultimate villain.
However, after the contact, through the golden finger, Wang Hai discovered that although Tiqi's bond value had increased a lot, when certain opinions differed, the bond value would suddenly drop significantly.
Not just once, but multiple times.
In the end, he felt that Teach was a man who was unscrupulous for ambition and difficult to be influenced.
Because of Whitebeard, he won't kill Teach directly.
However, Teach will not continue to be allowed to stay on Heping Island with such hidden dangers around him.
So he made a small plan.
Let people reveal Teach's true identity to Thatch, the captain of the fourth division of the Whitebeard Pirates, based on Charlie's prophecy.
Tell him that in Charlie's prophecy, he will get the Dark Fruit in the future, and will be killed by Blackbeard Teach because of this fruit.
If it was before Blackbeard revealed his strength, Sage would probably not believe it.
However, after Teach revealed his strength, people saw that he was an ambitious and gloomy person.
Saatchi also knew that with Tiqi's exposed strength, he was indeed no match for Tiqi. If he was attacked by surprise, he would probably be assassinated.
However, he didn't understand that Teach would actually attack his companions just for a piece of fruit.
In the end, Sage did not find Teach directly for confirmation, but found Charlie.
Afterwards, under the guidance of Wang Hai, Sa Qi arranged a test.
When he came back from an outing, he brought back a devil fruit, which was nothing.
However, after identification, this fruit seems to be a dark fruit.
Although others were envious of this, they didn't pay much attention to it and didn't know how powerful the secret fruit was.
And even if he knew, he wouldn't do anything more.
After all, according to the rules of the Whitebeard Pirates, whoever finds the fruit belongs to him.
Wang Hai didn't understand Tiqi's brain circuit, why didn't he try and discuss with Tiqi to get the Dark Fruit.
Instead, he chose to rob Saatchi.
Could it be that he feels that he is a pirate, so robbing is the only way to fulfill his identity?
Wang Hai didn't understand what Tiqi thought. Just like the original plot, Tiqi found an opportunity when there were few people and took action against Saqi.
But what he didn't expect was that Sachi was on guard and found Marco for help.
Therefore, his sneak attack was not successful.
Although Blackbeard was powerful at this time, on the Whitebeard Pirates' ship, in order to hide his strength, he seemed not to be able to practice with all his strength.
Therefore, there is a huge gap between his strength and Marco's.
However, he still showed his powerful physical skills and dominance and snatched away the Devil Fruit.
However, Tikki, who grabbed the Devil Fruit, didn't expect that it was actually a fake Dark Fruit.
That's right, of course it's impossible for Wang Hai to use the real Dark Fruit as bait.
Or rather, he didn't either.
The Dark Fruit has not yet been found.
In order to deceive Blackbeard, he went to Doflamingo to find illustrations and information about the Dark Fruit.
Then let Xiao Hei use the fruit's ability to synthesize a fruit. Before eating it, the fruit can be completely fake.
Blackbeard, who grabbed the fruit, did not eat it directly in order to escape smoothly, but he must have been furious after escaping.
That's right.
Even if Marco and Sachi joined forces, they could not keep Teach behind, and he finally escaped.
In the end, Whitebeard was very angry when he found out about this.
Obviously, he could tell that this matter was related to Wang Hai.
During that period of time, I always disliked Wang Hai and found opportunities to get in touch with him several times.
Whitebeard did not send anyone to hunt down Tikki who escaped.
Because he knew that except for Marco and Jozi, basically no one in the Whitebeard Pirates was Teach's opponent.
As for himself, it is unlikely that he will pursue it personally because he still has to sit on Heping Island.
This matter would have ended here.
What made Whitebeard even more angry was that after Teach escaped, he began to form the Blackbeard Pirates, and within half a year, they became the King of the Shichibukai.
What is Shichibukai under the king?
To put it bluntly, it is the thugs specially recruited by the World Government in order to restrict and fight against the Pirate Emperor.
Blackbeard Teach did this, which undoubtedly made Whitebeard lose face.
This matter was also deliberately exposed by the World Government, which made Whitebeard even more unhappy.
"Anyway, you have to understand that for the sake of Peace Island, I have to carefully screen every one of my own."
Wang Hai did not take the opportunity to continue talking about Whitebeard's black background.
By now, he and Whitebeard were quite familiar.
Although this man is the strongest in the world, he sometimes feels like an old kid and has a very stubborn side.
"Now, I can preliminarily confirm that most of the current Whitebeard Pirates can be considered one of our own."
The bond value is seventy or eighty. For Wang Hai, he can indeed be regarded as one of his own.
Especially when you reach eighty, it is basically difficult to betray.
"I have never been stingy with my own people, and I am willing to help them become stronger together."
Although Wang Hai said it sincerely, Whitebeard was obviously not completely fooled by him.
Whitebeard said: "Although you are good, I am not dead yet, and the Whitebeard Pirates cannot become someone else's...subordinates."
"How can we say they are subordinates? They are all our own, so of course they are companions." Wang Hai explained.
However, Whitebeard did not believe this.
"After I die, what are you going to do with my children?" Whitebeard continued.
That's what he's most concerned about.
Even the strongest person in the world knows that he will die one day.
Once he dies, none of his sons and daughters will be able to uphold the name of the Whitebeard Pirates.
Wang Hai said: "As long as you are a member of Heping Island and have the ability, you will have the opportunity to sit in the corresponding position, and then everyone will work together to protect Heping Island."
"What I can promise is to truly treat Marco and the others as one of our own, rather than letting them be cannon fodder."
Having said this, Whitebeard nodded, obviously relieved.
"I believe in your promise."
"You believe it so easily, aren't you afraid that I will lie to you?" Wang Hai said with a smile, but he was still a little touched by Whitebeard's trust.
Whitebeard: "I believe in my own vision."
Wang Hai clicked his tongue twice.
Whitebeard's face suddenly froze, presumably thinking of Blackbeard Teach again.
Wang Hai turned around and said: "Actually, there is no need to worry too much. You can still provide your children with shelter for a long time."
Whitebeard: "Everyone must die one day."
He was not afraid of death. What he was worried about was whether his children could take care of themselves after he died.
If you leave it to Wang Hai, you can feel at ease.
"People will indeed die eventually, but there is no problem in living hundreds or thousands of years longer. In addition to this sea, there is a starry sky above our heads that is countless times more vast." Wang Hai said.
Whitebeard knew he had something to say, so he didn't interrupt, even though he had a vague feeling that what he said next might be a bit shocking.
Wang Hai: "If you feel tired and there is no point in continuing to live, then just pretend I didn't say anything."
Whitebeard suddenly blew his beard and glared: "If you want to say it, just say it. If you don't want to say it, forget it."
"Ok."
This is indeed Whitebeard.
"I wonder if you have ever heard of pure gold?" Wang Hai said.
"The legendary pure gold that can make people immortal?"
"Pure gold does exist." Wang Hai did not explain where the news came from. "It is not clear whether it can make people live forever, but it should be no problem if people can live for a few hundred more years."
When Whitebeard heard this, although he remained calm on the surface, his eyes lit up.
In this sea, besides power, immortality is also the pursuit of many people.
Even if Whitebeard doesn't care too much, there's nothing wrong with it if he can live for a few hundred more years.
"If nothing else, the pure gold is now in the belly of a lantern fish comparable to a super-large sea king. It should still be in the waters of the New World."
Wang Hai said this and did not continue on this topic.
Because that's basically all he knows, and more information can only be found out later.
As for looking for lantern fish, you can also look for it slowly.
After all, the sea is so big. Even if this lantern fish is comparable in size to a super-large sea king, it is not that easy to find. After all, it is a living creature and may not always stay within a certain range.
However, if you look for it, there is always a chance to find it.
After Heping Island develops and grows, with more manpower and intelligence network, it will be easier to find it.
In addition, it will also be helpful to use some fruit abilities and some special abilities.
Such as Xia Li's divination prophecy.
Luck fruit ability.
Seeing that Whitebeard was already a little moved, Wang Hai continued: "The world is big, but life is short. Compared to the outside world, this sea is equivalent to a drop of water in the sea."
Whitebeard: "Your ambition is greater than I imagined."
Originally, Whitebeard thought that Wang Hai wanted to build a powerful country to compete with the world government.
Even, completely subvert the rule of the world government and the Celestial Dragons.
Now, he discovered that Wang Hai's ambition could no longer be carried by this sea.
I also want to live forever and explore the world beyond the sea.
If another person had said this, he would have regarded it as bragging at best.
But when Wang Hai said this, he had to take it seriously.
Because of Wang Hai's potential and ability, he can definitely create a team that is more powerful than the Roger Pirates.
In this way, everything Wang Hai wants seems not impossible.
This reminded him of the original Rocks Pirates.
The difference is that Wang Hai and Rocks are not the same people.
But in some ways, he felt that Wang Hai was more ambitious than Rocks.
The pattern is completely different.
And he could hear that Wang Hai said these words not without aim, but with a certain degree of confidence.
"Ambition? It doesn't matter what you say. People have to pursue something. Otherwise, it's no different from salted fish. What if it comes true?"
Wang Hai replied with a smile, and at the same time, he warned himself in his heart not to expand.
Now he is just fooling Whitebeard.
He has indeed thought about what he said, but he is not too ambitious and focuses more on the present.
Apart from anything else, let's first establish a firm foothold on this sea.
"Although it feels a little unreliable, what you said does make some sense. Keep talking. It's not that easy to get me on board."
Whitebeard said that he knew Wang Hai's plan and wanted to annex the entire Whitebeard Pirates.
Originally, he didn't pay much attention to it, but the ambition and goal revealed by Wang Hai at this moment really surprised him.
"I wonder if you know anything about the world beyond the sea. Do you know what I discovered on the empty island?"
Judging from Whitebeard's reaction, Wang Hai knew that he didn't know much about the world outside the sea.
But it is also understandable.
In Whitebeard's life, after becoming a pirate, apart from fighting for territory, he also spent time raising children. Although he was literate, he probably didn't read much.
Until now, I am afraid that I have not seriously studied and understood the existence of the world.
At most, they just know some common sense and secrets that ordinary people don't know.
So, without waiting for Whitebeard's answer, he continued: "On the Sky Island, I discovered that the Sky Islanders come from the boundless land, that is, the universe, the world beyond the planet below our feet."
In this era, the exploration of the universe has obviously not yet begun. We only know about the existence of the starry sky, and not many people know more specifically about it.
Perhaps, in the future country of Guan Island, some people have already begun to explore the existence of the universe and stars.
However, Whitebeard didn't know much about this. He said nothing and was still a little confused.
Wang Hai had no choice but to explain to him the concepts related to the planet and the universe.
Although Whitebeard was a little surprised, he didn't really believe it until he saw it with his own eyes, or explored it.
Wang Hai continued: "The Sky Islanders should specifically come from the moon, but it is not clear whether they were originally born on the moon or came to the moon from other planets."
"I got some drawings about a spaceship. I can build a spaceship. Then I can go to the moon and explore more mysteries of the universe. Maybe I can come into contact with more civilizations in the universe."
"That is to say, in addition to this sea, there is also a sea of stars, waiting for us to continue to explore."
After hearing him say a lot, the battle in the ring had already seen several waves of people changing, and then Whitebeard said:
"Although what you said has aroused a lot of interest in me, but if you want me to work for you, wait until you defeat me."
"We have said that we are companions. Even if you want to continue to be the captain when the time comes, it is not impossible. Anyway, in my place, everything is discussed by everyone, and I do not have the final say alone."
Wang Hai saw that White Beard was still a little confused, but he didn't say much.
He also knew that just based on the current achievements of Heping Island and the big pie that could be drawn, it was of course impossible for him to directly let Whitebeard lead the Whitebeard Pirates and fully join in.
The good news is that Whitebeard did not object clearly, but set a condition for him.
In fact, this is also the condition that Whitebeard has set for himself and the crew of the Whitebeard Pirates.
As long as he can defeat Whitebeard and be more powerful than Whitebeard, it will be logical for all the Whitebeard Pirates to join.
As a pirate, I act according to pirate rules and can't fault anything.
"Just wait, it won't take long to defeat you, no more than ten years."
Wang Hai’s estimate is still conservative.
Ten years later, he was not yet 30 years old.
Even in a shorter period of time, he wouldn't dare to boast.
Now, Whitebeard has relented, and the average bond value of the Whitebeard Pirates is between [-] and [-].
In this way, next, he will use acceleration cards and breakthrough cards for those whose bond value reaches [-] to help them continue to improve their strength.
Whitebeard himself also has room for further improvement.
The limitation of his strength lies in his physical strength, unlike Big Mom and Kaido.
Perhaps his physique could be considered a monster level, but those two were monsters among monsters.
So much so that his body could not bear the power of the Shock Fruit.
However, this problem is not impossible to solve, and the golden bell can solve it.
There are a total of twelve levels in the Golden Bell Cover, and reaching level No. 11 is enough to compare with the physiques of Big Mom and Kaido.
Level No. 12 will be even more powerful.
For Whitebeard, who has the ability to shake fruits, the Golden Bell is a perfect fit for him.
Because he can directly use the power of the Zhenzhen Fruit to assist in the cultivation of the Golden Bell.
In this way, it is not difficult for him to practice to level [-], and it will be enough to raise his strength to a higher level by then.
Not to mention, reaching the twelfth level a step further not only gives him a more powerful body and indestructibility, but also allows him to withstand more powerful Shock Fruit abilities.
That means you can continue to develop the ability to shake the fruit.
In short, in ten years, Whitebeard's strength will definitely surpass the ceiling of this sea.
For Wang Hai, if he wants to reach that level, only ten years is enough insurance.
Otherwise, it’s just the Yonko level and doesn’t take that long.
"Kulala, I'm waiting for you."
It can be seen that he is full of confidence. Whitebeard is not only happy but also happy.
As recognized as the strongest in the world, Whitebeard can't find many opponents despite being invincible and lonely.
Not to mention, the one who defeated him in a duel.
Of course he would be happy if such a person could appear.
What's more, if this person is Wang Hai, it is not unacceptable.
"Dad, what are you talking about, are you so happy?"
Whitebeard's laughter attracted Marco.
"This kid, if you want to defeat me within ten years, maybe you can really do it. You have to keep working hard, Marco, and don't be surpassed too much." Whitebeard said.
"Wang Hai, are you serious?" Marco's eyelids twitched when he heard that he had to continue working hard. The special training for more than a year had made them feel a little overwhelmed.
So, he quickly changed the topic and looked at Wang Hai.
"That's right, just wait Marco, within ten years, I will definitely defeat Newgate." Wang Hai admitted openly.
Marco gave him a thumbs up.
"Dad, Golden Lion just sent a message through the phone bug. He should arrive early and can arrive this evening."
Then, Marco had a message.
"Is the Golden Lion finally coming?" After hearing this, Wang Hai's eyes suddenly lit up.
"I know, since this old lion is coming, get ready for the dinner." Whitebeard said casually.
Time passed in the evening, and the golden lion arrived as promised.
However, this time is different from the last time.
Not only did he come alone, he also brought several islands with him.
From a distance, it looks like it is no ordinary island. From a distance, you can still hear the roars of beasts coming from the island.
This is surprising.
"Did the golden lion also come with the base camp?"
Seeing these islands, Wang Hai suddenly felt something in his heart. If it was the base camp of the Golden Lion, then the plant named IQ would also be on these islands.
