“Gurarararara…”
A hearty laugh echoed across the sea.
On the deck of the Moby Dick.
Chen Ye was receiving a warm welcome from the Whitebeard Pirates. At this moment, he was seated beside Whitebeard, sharing a drink with him!
However, sitting next to Whitebeard, Chen Ye felt somewhat uncomfortable…
It wasn’t that Whitebeard’s presence was too overwhelming for Chen Ye.
With his current strength, no one’s presence in the entire pirate world could make Chen Ye feel uneasy.
What made Chen Ye uncomfortable was his height, which was simply too “small” compared to Whitebeard’s…
In truth.
Chen Ye’s current height was a solid 1.85 meters, with well-proportioned muscles—definitely a “male god” physique.
But that’s by normal human standards.
Clearly, Whitebeard didn’t fall into the category of “normal” humans…
There seemed to be some giant blood in Whitebeard’s genes. Chen Ye estimated his height to be well over 6 meters!
Since Whitebeard was currently sitting, Chen Ye couldn’t be certain of his exact height…
Standing next to such a giant, Chen Ye felt like a “tiny dot”—it was hard to feel comfortable.
“Mondo, my boy, come, cheers!!”
Whitebeard laughed heartily, raising a bowl the size of a bathtub, clinking it against the large bowl in Chen Ye’s hand.
“Cheers…”
Chen Ye felt even more awkward.
He could practically take a bath in Whitebeard’s drinking bowl…
Luckily.
Someone stepped in to help ease the situation.
“Pops! I want to have a drink with Senior Mondo!”
Ace, shirtless and beaming, came over and sat beside Chen Ye.
“Senior Mondo!” Ace looked at Chen Ye with admiration in his eyes. “Thank you for holding off the Navy so I could be rescued safely. Cheers!”
In terms of seniority, Chen Ye had been on the wanted list with a bounty of 2 billion Berries for ten years, so he was indeed qualified to be Ace’s senior!
But Ace’s admiration for Chen Ye was entirely because of Chen Ye’s feats.
“Cheers!!”
Chen Ye laughed heartily and clinked his cup with Ace’s.
Finally, a normal person…
Whitebeard had come over purely to meet Chen Ye and express his gratitude.
Although Chen Ye had sent Law to inform Whitebeard mainly to have Whitebeard delay Admiral Aokiji, which was indeed using Whitebeard to his advantage.
Whitebeard’s Gura Gura no Mi (Tremor-Tremor Fruit) could cause tsunamis, and only Aokiji could counter such attacks with ice.
But there’s no denying that Whitebeard’s involvement had made it much easier to rescue Ace, and Chen Ye had played a significant role in that.
Originally.
When Whitebeard heard the news of Ace’s impending execution, he had already prepared himself mentally to attack Navy Headquarters.
But doing so would inevitably lead to heavy casualties and sacrifices.
Unlike now, where Ace was rescued with minimal losses!
“Mr. Mondo!”
First Division Commander Marco suddenly spoke up with an invitation: “I heard you’re still on your own. Would you be interested in joining the Whitebeard Pirates? Many here admire you!”
Chen Ye was slightly taken aback.
Join the Whitebeard Pirates?
Sorry!
I’m not interested in “recognizing a dad”!!
“I’m sorry, Marco, but I prefer to roam the world on my own, freely.”
Hearing Chen Ye’s response, Marco and the other commanders looked a bit disappointed.
They sincerely hoped to recruit Chen Ye.
Not just because of their admiration for his achievements.
But with Chen Ye’s formidable strength, having him on their side would undoubtedly make them the most dominant force on the seas…
“Gurararara…”
Whitebeard laughed heartily, as if he had expected this, his expression calm. He raised his giant bowl and said, “Mondo, my boy, you will always be a friend of the Whitebeard Pirates. Come, cheers!”
“Cheers!”
…
While Chen Ye was celebrating with the Whitebeard Pirates…
In Mary Geoise, the Holy Land and headquarters of the World Government, the “Five Elders” were deliberating on how to deal with “Mondo”!
“It’s been two days, and Akainu is still missing. It seems he really has perished!”
“What stance should we take regarding this ‘Mondo’?”
“According to the information provided by Garp, Mondo might not be a Devil Fruit user. The origin of his formidable powers is unknown…”
“Isn’t there anyone who can deal with this guy?”
“If that important figure were willing to take action, they could certainly handle Mondo!”
“A mere pirate isn’t worthy of that figure’s intervention.”
“Perhaps we could use him as a pawn—elevate his bounty and grant him the title of the Fifth Emperor, letting him compete with the other four.”
“That’s a good idea…”
“Agreed!”
“I also agree!”
“Then, how much should his bounty be increased?”
“Let’s set it at 5 billion Berries! Given the magnitude of his crimes, his head is worth that much.”
Thus.
Under the secret machinations of the Five Elders, tales of Mondo began spreading across the seas. Many started to build up Mondo’s reputation, referring to him and the other four emperors as the “Five Emperors”!
The bounty of 5 billion Berries further cemented Mondo’s title as the Fifth Emperor!
As for the important figure the Five Elders mentioned, it was the one residing in the deepest part of Mary Geoise, “The Empty Throne”…
