"Dad, let's not go and join the fun. We can hunt down Celestial Dragons on our own."
The other crew members chimed in:
"That's right, Dad, we don't need to go to any auctions, we can hunt down Celestial Dragons ourselves!"
"Yeah yeah!"
The family knows their own affairs.
The Whitebeard Pirates knew perfectly well how poor they were, so there was no need for them to embarrass themselves at an auction.
If it were an auction organized by someone else, they might even encourage their fathers to just go and rob it.
But this was organized by the Beasts Pirates, which immediately dissuaded them from that idea!
Whitebeard glanced at Marco, who had already awakened Conqueror's Haki, and then at the other children who said they didn't need to go.
In fact, after these past few days, everyone has realized that even if they continue sailing, it will be almost impossible to hunt down a Celestial Dragon.
He knew Marco had noticed his predicament and was saying nice things.
As a father, he really didn't want his child to be inferior to others.
Whitebeard gritted his teeth and shouted, "Go! Why wouldn't we go? We're going to the Celestial Dragons' auction!"
"Dad, but we..."
Marco was about to say something when Whitebeard interrupted him: "Don't worry, I have a plan!"
Despite Whitebeard's confident and assertive demeanor, he was actually quite uneasy inside.
His so-called solution was nothing more than wanting to borrow money from Kaido, or rather, to buy it on credit first.
The Whitebeard children said no, but their actions betrayed them when they heard Whitebeard say he had a way.
They cheered excitedly, their faces full of anticipation: "Really? Dad?"
Now that things had come to this, Whitebeard had no choice but to bite the bullet and say, "Of course, I am Whitebeard!"
"Long live daddy!"
"Then what are you waiting for? Let's go!"
The Moby Dick is returning to port!
The "Queen's Song" returned to port immediately upon receiving news of the Celestial Dragons' auction!
The Big Mom Pirates are different from the poor Whitebeard Pirates; they're rich!
Meanwhile, pirates who wanted to awaken Conqueror's Haki but couldn't find the Celestial Dragons also headed to the New World.
The doldrums, at an altitude of 10,000 meters.
On a small island, Jhin and Barrett were brought over by Raylor to set up an auction house.
To be honest, it's a real shame that these two aren't working in civil engineering, given their Devil Fruit abilities.
To ensure the auction was high-end and sophisticated, Lei Luo personally oversaw the construction.
"Yes, yes, that's right!"
"Jin, get a few pillars over there!"
"Barrett, you set up an auction stage, and it should look like this..."
"Ah, it feels like something's missing..."
"Hmm, not grand enough!"
"Jin, you..."
“Barrett, and then you…”
Chapter 166 All Heroes Arrive
An obscure, desolate island.
One after another, huge pirate ships flying skull and crossbow flags arrived here.
A group of unruly, lawless pirates who would fight at the drop of a hat gathered together.
Although the atmosphere was extremely tense, the pirates all remained restrained and none of them made a move.
At that moment, a giant pirate ship with a white whale on its prow appeared in everyone's sight, with the white-bearded skull and crossbones flag fluttering in the wind on its mast, making it particularly eye-catching.
"The Four Emperors, the Whitebeard Pirates!"
The pirate ship slowly docked, and on the deck, the members of the Whitebeard Pirates leaned on the railing, looking down at the silent pirates.
Don't be fooled by the Whitebeard Pirates' indifferent expressions; they're secretly thrilled!
He used to be called the Great Pirate Whitebeard, but the concept of the Great Pirate was quite vague.
For ordinary people and ordinary pirates, a pirate with tens of millions of dollars is already a great pirate.
Now it's called "The Four Sea Emperors Who Rule the Seas," which immediately elevates its status.
Whitebeard didn't care about fame, but his sons did!
Whitebeard glanced casually at the pirates on the shore and ordered his sons, "Land!"
Whitebeard leaped off the cliff and landed on the shore, with the rest of his crew following closely behind.
The arrival of the Four Emperors was bad news for the pirates on the island.
Everyone habitually believes that the more powerful a pirate is, the more astonishing their wealth will be!
So how are they supposed to compete with the Four Emperors for the Celestial Dragons? They don't have as much money as the others, and they can't beat them in a fight!
The pirates immediately began to whisper among themselves.
A first mate whispered to the captain, "Captain, are we still..."
The captain glanced at the white-bearded, burly man and his imposing aura, then immediately looked away, his expression turning somewhat grim.
However, he had no intention of backing down, and snorted coldly: "The Beasts Pirates spend 3 billion Berries to acquire a single Celestial Dragon, let alone at an auction."
"Even if the Whitebeard Pirates are rich, I don't believe Whitebeard can win over all the Celestial Dragons this time!"
The first mate nodded in agreement: "Indeed!"
In fact, the other pirate crews had the same idea. Everyone was thinking about picking up bargains, but no one thought about the possibility that the Whitebeard Pirates were poor.
After all, Whitebeard was the head of the Four Emperors, with a bounty of 7.8 billion!
Before long, the Big Mom Pirates' "Queen's Song" also arrived at the island.
Lingling jumped onto the shore and greeted Whitebeard in a carefree manner: "Sashibridah, Whitebeard."
The white-bearded man smiled faintly and said, "Ah, Lingling, I didn't expect you to come too."
No sooner had he finished speaking than Whitebeard suddenly noticed that five of Linlin's children had awakened Conqueror's Haki, not including Katakuri, whom he had met before!
Whitebeard blurted out, "Linlin, I remember your kids didn't have Conqueror's Haki, how come they all suddenly awakened it?"
"Of course it's because they're my children! Aren't they amazing?" Lingling said matter-of-factly.
She would never tell Whitebeard about Kaido giving her five Celestial Dragons.
Whitebeard didn't believe a word of it; he'd seen Lingling's older children before.
They just assumed Lingling was lucky to have met more Celestial Dragons, but they wouldn't tell her where they met them.
However, since even Linlin's children have awakened Conqueror's Haki, Whitebeard, as a father, is even more eager to obtain Celestial Dragons so that his sons will not be inferior to other people's children.
The two Yonko exchanged pleasantries, but some low-ranking pirates were already sweating profusely.
"What's going on? This suffocating sense of oppression!"
Soon, Wang Zhi also arrived at the island.
Wang Zhi, with a slurred speech, greeted the two with a loud laugh: "Newgate, Lingling, you're both here!"
Whitebeard and Lingling's relationship with Wang Zhi was not as good.
Lingling chuckled sinisterly, "Well, well, well... isn't this the Four Emperors yet to be decided? I didn't expect you to come too. I thought you would always be hiding on Beehive Island."
Upon hearing the words "the four emperors to be determined," veins immediately bulged on Wang Zhi's forehead, but he gritted his teeth and endured it.
He wasn't about to fight with Lingling over something so trivial. With a cold snort, Wang Zhi turned and left, his face grim.
The pirates watching the show were immediately disappointed.
What is Wang Zhi afraid of? Why doesn't he dare to fight Big Mom?
No wonder he's one of the Four Emperors yet to be determined.
In the pirate world, a man quietly found a secluded corner and reported the situation to the Five Elders.
"Almost all the famous pirates on the high seas have come, as well as the kings of various underground forces."
"Among them, apart from Black Nose Hair, Whitebeard, Linlin, and Wang Zhi are all present!"
"The Beasts Pirates have not yet appeared!"
"Yes, yes, okay."
Saint Satan put down the Den Den Mushi in his hand, sighed, and said helplessly to the other four stars, "As we expected, almost all the pirates in the New World have gone there now."
Silence is Mary Geoise tonight!
After a while, an island slowly drifted into everyone's view in the sky.
The Beasts Pirates arrived late.
Just kidding, does Lei Luo have a habit of arriving early?
All the pirates on the island raised their heads and looked up at the floating island in the sky.
"Finally, the 'Pirate King,' who surpasses all other pirates, has arrived!"
Kaido stood on the island, looking down at the pirates below.
When all the beasts speak, heroes from all over the world gather.
Even though he knew they were only there for the Celestial Dragons, it didn't stop Kaido's vanity from reaching its peak at that moment!
Jhin manipulated the island to slowly descend, and eventually the two islands connected.
Kaido, Rayleigh, King, and Bullet, four powerful members of the Beasts Pirates, arrived before all the pirates.
"Oh ho ho ho ho ho... Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to this grand event."
Kaido burst into loud laughter, his voice echoing across the land.
Although the pirates appeared calm on the surface, their eyes were filled with greed and ambition.
Whitebeard sensed the terrifying aura emanating from the Beasts Pirates and his eyes narrowed slightly.
Lingling rolled her eyes at the arrogant Kaido and said irritably:
"Kaido, stop with the nonsense, where are the Celestial Dragons? Let's start the auction!"
As she spoke, Lingling stuck out her tongue and licked her red lips.
She had truly felt the benefits brought by the Celestial Dragons, and now she was somewhat impatient.
Whitebeard didn't say anything; he was planning to borrow money from Kaido later!
Kaido smiled, not caring at all.
Lei Luo then extended his hand toward the island, gesturing for it to proceed.
"Everyone, please!"
Chapter 167: Isn't this even more exciting?
The pirates landed on the island brought by the Beasts Pirates and headed to the auction house on the island!
Then, led by the hostesses, they arrived at their designated seats.
The hostess is a woman from Wano Country.
To be fair, Wano Country is quite professional in terms of service.
