Whitebeard brought Seimei to his ship, then turned and left, leaving behind a pirate ship with a skull pattern.

"Hey! Are you going to where the Big Mom Pirates are?"

Seimei asked the white-bearded figure as he walked away.

"That's right! My friend is in that place!"

"Then good luck!"

Whitebeard nodded and disappeared.

Seimei sighed as he watched Whitebeard's retreating figure. Whitebeard was as stubborn as ever!

"Then it's up to you from now on. I won't help you, after all, we used to have a very deep friendship."

Seimei spoke to the air.

After saying that, Seimei disappeared from the spot. Seimei had arrived on a desolate island in the new world.

"My partner!"

"You came!"

In the ruins, a blood-covered man looked up at Seimei and smiled.

Chapter 223: Partner

"Yes, I've come, but I didn't expect you to be so badly injured. What happened?"

Seimei looked at Raymond, who was lying pale in the ruins.

"It's nothing, just ran into two troublesome guys."

"I think we need to have a serious talk."

Seimei helped Raymond up and sat him on the stone pile next to him.

"You don't really think the two of us can rescue your brothers?"

"of course not!"

Seimei said calmly.

Raymond looked at Seimei in surprise. He had prepared for the worst, but it seemed he had overthought things. This young man had already thought of what he was worried about, yet he showed no fear and dared to come here. Raymond admired his courage.

"Then tell me, what exactly should we do?"

"I want to find out who this guy is first, and where your partner is."

Raymond nodded. Now that they were here, they had to explore the area; otherwise, they would have made a wasted trip!

Whitebeard.

"Where are we going now?"

Nami asked.

"How about this? Let's sail the ship to the vicinity of Shanks' pirate crew first, and then we can land on their pirate crew in a straightforward manner."

The white-bearded man smiled; this suited him perfectly.

Whitebeard's pirate ship was docked in a sea area belonging to the Shanks Pirates, where they were building a bay port under Shanks' command.

"Master, they're here again!"

"A pirate said in a panic."

"Hmph, nonsense! Let us greet our guests!"

Shanks snorted coldly. He knew that Seimei would definitely come back to find him, but he was not afraid. His current strength was enough for him to dominate the New World.

Whitebeard's pirate ship approached the bay of Shanks' crew, and the flag on the ship told everyone that they had come from the ship of Pirate King Roger.

"Our captain is back! Our captain is back!"

In an instant, deafening cheers erupted from the Shanks Pirates. These past few days had been incredibly difficult, especially that storm which nearly wiped them all out.

Whitebeard walked onto the deck, looking at his crew with a relieved expression.

"Your strength is growing quite rapidly! It seems your efforts have paid off."

"Dad!"

"Dad! Do you still remember me?"

"Old man with the white beard, we miss you so much!"

Many of the crew members were moved to tears upon seeing Whitebeard's figure. Whitebeard saw the warmth in their eyes, but his gaze fell on Nami's face, which was filled with exhaustion.

"Nami, thank you for your hard work these past few days!"

Whitebeard patted Nami's head; his daughter had really matured a lot.

Nami wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes and shook her head slightly.

"Dad! You must have suffered a lot while single-handedly supporting such a huge pirate crew. We have been waiting for your return, and we believe that you will lead us to defeat Big Mom, the ruler of the Navy!"

Nami clenched her fist and said firmly.

"Yes! I definitely will! This enemy is extremely powerful, and there's something extraordinary about them."

Whitebeard frowned, feeling the power within him stirring.

"Yes! This feeling is awful!"

"Let's go. I'll take you to the Big Mom Pirates. I think we can definitely rescue your crew this time."

"We must be extra careful and not be careless!"

As soon as Whitebeard finished speaking, Seimei and his three sons flew into the sky.

"Wow! Brother Seimei! You've finally arrived!"

Usopp said excitedly.

"This is my partner, Raymond!"

The white-bearded man explained.

After shaking hands with Raymond, Seimei headed towards Big Mom's pirate crew. Their target was Raymond, because only Raymond knew Rayleigh's whereabouts.

"I think you must be the people sent by Mr. Rayleigh to rescue Raymond. He is already waiting for you in my pirate crew."

Bege's words left Whitebeard and his crew puzzled.

"I heard that Mr. Rayleigh's captain is named Raymond, is that true?!"

Whitebeard looked at Bege and asked, unsure if his guess was correct, but the fact that Rayleigh and Raymond shared the same surname caught Whitebeard's attention.

"Of course, Mr. Rayleigh is Captain Raymond's father. Their father-son relationship is very harmonious, but they had conflicts, which is why they separated. Moreover, I heard that Mr. Rayleigh was imprisoned by Big Mom for several months, which is why Mr. Rayleigh is now unwilling to return to the Big Mom Pirates."

Becky shrugged. He knew his father's personality. Although he was usually very good-tempered, he would never back down when it came to matters involving his siblings.

"Then let's go rescue Mr. Rayleigh!"

"Dad, are you crazy! We have no idea where Mr. Rayleigh is!"

The sons behind Whitebeard spoke anxiously, not wanting him to be in danger.

"Don't worry! Our reinforcements will be here soon."

Whitebeard proudly patted his chest, then turned to Seimei and the others with a confident smile.

"Yes! Just follow behind us, and we'll protect you!"

Seimei nodded to them. He didn't want these crew members to suffer any losses either. These were their comrades, and they had gone through many difficult nights together. Now they were comrades.

Several hours later, Whitebeard and his crew arrived at Rayleigh's residence, a small town separated from Big Mom's pirate crew by only a river.

"This is...."

The white-bearded man looked at the dilapidated house in front of him.

“That’s right, this is where Mr. Rayleigh lives. He’s being held captive there, and I’m here waiting for Mr. Whitebeard. I’ve already informed them that we’re here!”

"Dad, I think you've misunderstood. We're not here to rescue him."

Rayleigh's eldest son, Garp, stepped forward, and Whitebeard and the others looked at him in surprise.

"What! We're here to rescue Mr. Rayleigh! How dare you question my decision!"

Whitebeard's rage erupted, turning the entire sky dark as if it were about to devour the world.

"Don't misunderstand, I'm not doubting your decision, it's just that we're not here to save Rayleigh's Ling."

"So, what exactly is your purpose in coming here?"

Whitebeard squinted and stared intently at Garp.
