One Piece: Surrounded at Marineford? Just kidding!

Chapter 132: Experience Pack for the Future!

Upon hearing Marco's shout, all the Whitebeard Pirates crew members raised their heads in unison!

All eyes were fixed in one direction.

That aura...

They know them all too well!

The next second, the golden light stopped in the sky above the Dragon Palace Square and landed.

The light dimmed.

Chen Ye's figure appeared before everyone's eyes.

She was still wearing the same black pants and shirt, but now her clothes were sprinkled with golden particles, like crushed diamonds.

He showed no signs of fatigue, and not even the hem of his clothes was wrinkled.

It didn't feel like they went to fight a great war to destroy an emperor; it was more like they went out for a stroll.

"Tatsuba!"

"You're back!"

Marco was the first to rush forward, his lazy face a mixture of excitement and worry.

He raised his hand to pat Chen Ye's shoulder, but halfway there, someone else beat him to it.

Diamond Joz, with his mountain-like body, was the first to squeeze through, his rough face showing both worry and ecstasy as he roared in a muffled voice.

"Are you alright, you idiot?"

"Those are Kaido and Charlotte Linlin!"

Vista the foil, along with all the captains and crew members, instantly surrounded him.

A wall of people made up of countless anxious gazes.

Chen Ye glanced at the familiar faces, at the undisguised concern in their eyes, and a slight smile appeared on his lips.

His gaze then swept over everyone and landed on the very center.

The man who sat still the whole time.

Whitebeard.

Edward Newgate.

He didn't stand up, but his eyes hadn't left Chen Ye's side since he appeared.

He could sense that Chen Ye had become much stronger.

However, he was more concerned about whether his son had returned unharmed.

Eyes facing each other.

A huge smile spread across the white-bearded, weathered face.

He picked up the tall wine gourd beside him, took a sip, and then...

Said:

"Gurararara... My son, how are you?"

Have you subdued those two bastards, Kaido and Linlin?

The entire room fell silent.

Everyone awaited Chen Ye's answer.

Chen Ye met the white-bearded man's gaze and smiled even more broadly.

He didn't waste words or boast.

He asked a question in a casual, conversational tone.

"Don't you know my strength yet?"

He paused, his gaze sweeping across everyone's faces, before finally adding a casual remark.

Even the Five Elders and the Navy combined can't stop me!

"Moreover, Kaido of the Beasts and Charlotte Linlin are not worth mentioning at all."

Not worth mentioning.

Upon hearing these four words,

Everyone's mind went blank.

Kaido of the Beasts... Charlotte Linlin...

That was an emperor who reigned supreme over this sea for decades! A monster whose very name could make the world tremble!

In Chen Ye's mouth, all he got in return was a "mere trifle" and "not worth mentioning".

How arrogant!

How much more confident do you need to be!

Three seconds later.

"Ooo ...

Deafening cheers erupted from every corner of the square!

"We won! We won!"

"Chen Ye single-handedly took down two Yonko!"

"Chen Ye is truly invincible!"

"Hahahaha! I knew it! I knew Chen Ye was the strongest!"

Countless crew members laughed, hugged each other, roared, and threw their knives into the air, expressing their pride in the most savage way!

Marco stood there stunned, then suddenly slapped his forehead, feeling both helpless and amused.

Yes, what am I worried about? A man who can travel through time and beat up the Five Elders at Marine Headquarters—my worries are indeed a bit unnecessary!

Joz's massive body trembled with excitement. He slammed his fist into the ground, cracking the hard plaza instantly, but he ignored it all and just roared to the sky.

"That's awesome! Chenye!"

The white-bearded man sitting in the middle shuddered when he heard Chen Ye's words.

His eyes first showed shock, and then the shock turned into overflowing pride and satisfaction!

"Guralalalala...guralalalalala!"

He tilted his head back and let out his signature, triumphant laugh.

The laughter was louder and more exhilarating than ever before!

He looked at his son, who stood in the center of the crowd, surrounded by everyone, his eyes full of approval.

"As expected of... my son!"

Amidst the deafening cheers, Chen Ye simply smiled calmly.

He pushed through the excited crowd and stood before the white-bearded man.

"Dad."

"Gurararara... Well done, Tatsuyo!"

The white-bearded man patted Chen Ye's shoulder forcefully, the force seemingly heavy, but the landing was actually very light.

But Chen Ye's next words caused the white-bearded man's laughter and the surrounding cheers to pause for a moment.

"However, Father," Chen Ye's tone suddenly changed, "I didn't kill them."

"Um?"

The white-bearded man's smile faded slightly, and a hint of confusion appeared in his eyes.

The surrounding team captains also quieted down, looking at Chen Ye with confusion.

Since such a grudge has been formed, it would be unacceptable not to nip it in the bud.

Chen Ye's gaze was fixed on the distance, as if he had pierced through the deep sea and seen a more distant future.

He spoke, his voice not loud, but it clearly penetrated into everyone's ears.

"Those two old guys, and their thrones, I'm leaving them to Ace and Luffy, those two brats, as experience points."

"I shouldn't be the one to bring the future to a close."

Chen Ye's lips curled into a smile.

"It requires Ace and Luffy to use their own fists to open this door!"

Upon hearing this, Marco and the other captains were stunned.

They originally thought that Chenye defeated the two emperors in order to stand at the top of the world and make the Whitebeard Pirates the only king.

I never expected Chen Ye's vision to have reached this level!

What he was looking at wasn't the battle for supremacy among the Four Emperors, but the changing of the guard across an entire era!

He used those two sea emperors who made the world tremble as tools to hone Ace and Luffy!

What a display of power!

The white-bearded man stared at Chen Ye, his initial confusion transforming into a deeper sense of shock and emotion.

He suddenly understood.

Everything Chenye did was not only for the pirate crew, but also for the future of his "family".

For Ace, and for Luffy, the younger brother whom Tatsuha had never met but who was also recognized by him.

"Gurarararara..."

The white-bearded man laughed again, this time with a laugh full of relief and contentment.

He looked at Chen Ye as if he were looking at a fully grown eagle.

"I see... So that's how it is..."

Just then, while everyone was talking, Chen Ye quietly leaned close to the white-bearded man's ear, his expression a little mischievous. He lowered his voice and spoke in a volume that only the two of them could hear.

"And also, Dad..."

"I heard that Ace, before joining us, had some complicated relationship with Kaido's daughter!"

"Um?"

Whitebeard was taken aback.

Chen Ye winked and grinned even more mischievously.

"And I've heard that Kaido's girl is quite strong."

Who knows... maybe in the future you... might become a grandfather!

Upon hearing this, the white-bearded man's massive body stiffened for a moment.

He first widened his eyes, as if he was digesting this rather informative piece of gossip.

Then, a very strange and meaningful smile appeared on that serious face.

"Gurara...guraralaralalala!"

That brat Ace!

I also have some romantic entanglements!
