110 New Crew Member

"Drag... Dragon-San, was that just my imagination?"

Sabo murmured, his face covered in disbelief.

Because,

That was the Queen Mama Chanter, the main ship of Big Mom Pirates, with Big Mom herself aboard.

She's one of the Four Emperors who rule the vast expanse of the New World's seas.

He believed that a battle as intense as the one on Festival Island was about to erupt once again.

Yet, little did anyone anticipate,

The battle is over before it even began!

"This is the strongest man in the world. It seems that we don't know enough about Whitebeard!'

Monkey D. Dragon sighed, realizing the depth of the situation.

He was completely convinced by Whitebeard strength

First, their escape from Festival Island, and now, with just two punches, he sent the Queen Mama Chanter - the ship carrying Big Mom, one of the Four Emperors - sunk into the bottom of the sea, not knowing about her life or death.

This incredible strength is truly convincing!

"Thankfully, our strategy was to gain Whitebeard's support, not to provoke him as an enemy."

The top members of the Revolutionary Army wiped away their cold sweat, feeling extremely grateful.

Had they made the wrong choice, they might have been the ones witnessing their ship sinking right now.

"Sure enough, Pops solved the problem easily."

"Haha, Pops is known as the strongest man in the world, even if his opponent is Big Mom, she can't do anything!"

"Big Mom, one of the Four Emperors, pales in comparison to Oyaji!"

Whitebeard's commander cheered loudly, and a sense of pride radiated from everyone's faces.

"Win, Oyaji just win?!"

Katakuri was left utterly stunned.

He felt somewhat overwhelmed.

Being Big Mom's son, he understood just how fearsome she could be.

A moment ago,  he thought that fight was really impossible to avoid, so he plan went back with the Big Mom, so as not to cause trouble for the old man.

To his surprise, the battle ended before it could even begin.

"I told you, just leave it to the old man, everything will be fine."

Ace grinned and glanced at Katakuri.

"Yeah!"

Katakuri nodded, his gaze filled with trust towards Whitebeard.

At the same time, a strong sense of belonging to the Whitebeard Pirates filled him.

"Marines, Four Emperors, Revolutionary Army!"

"All these formidable forces make me understand one thing!"

'The Magician' Basil Hawkins, who had witnessed it all, suddenly spoke up.

"Understand one thing?"

A crowd of supernovas turned their heads and looked around.

"Neither the Marines nor the Four Emperors are opponents we can deal with. If we can't establish ourselves in the New World and break into the realm of the powerful people, we'll only end up dead with no place for burial!"

Hawkins said calmly.

The recent incidents completely shocked him, and opened his eyes.at the same time 

Understanding what's called the 'Supernovas'

It refers to a bunch of inexperienced newcomers in the New World.

They're simply insignificant!

If they continue sailing with their previous arrogance, they'll eventually meet their end in the treacherous waters of the New World.

"Hmph!"

"Well then, what will you do?" 

Kid snorted in a cold manner.

"I've decided to join the Whitebeard Pirates and become one of their crew members!"

Hawkins' eyes gleamed with more enthusiasm. "With such a powerful shelter, we can navigate these waters without any worries!"

"Furthermore, acknowledging such a formidable man as our father is not a disgrace, but an honor for us!"

His words hung in the air, and a hushed silence descended upon the surroundings.

All the supernovas fell into silence, seemingly pondering over Basil Hawkins' words.

What happened these days is really shocking.

Compared to those New World powerhouse.

They appear incredibly weak.

"In that case, count me in too!"

'"The Roar of the Sea' Scratchmen Apoo grinned.

He didn't have many objections to becoming a part of the Whitebeard Pirates.

After all, the structure of the Whitebeard Pirate fleet is very loose. The Pirate Group under its banner usually sails on their own, and there is no need to gather together unless they are in a big battle.

If his On Air pirate group joins,

Not only will they find protection, but they can also keep sailing the New World waters—so why not go for it?

"Hmph!"

"You're thinking of submitting to Whitebeard?!"

Kid snorted with a cold tone.

His dream is to discover the One Piece treasure and become the Pirate King.

If he submits to someone else, can he still claim that title?

So, surrendering was never something he considered.

As he finish speaking, he looks at other supernovae.

However, he noticed that apart from himself and his first mate Killer, the other supernovas' eyes were gleaming with excitement, indicating their enthusiasm for this proposition.

"You?!"

Kid was taken aback.

He wondered why the supernovas from the first half of the Grand Line, known as the Worst Generation, would agree with this kind of idea.

Don't they know that once they surrender, they will lose the qualification to chase the throne? 

After all, there is no king who surrenders!

"There's nothing you can't achieve in this world!"

"If you want to survive in New World, you have to pay a certain price, and joining the Whitebeard Pirate may be the one with the least cost and the highest reward!"

Capone 'Gang' Bege nonchalantly remarked, with a cigar in his mouth.

These events have given him a clear understanding of the New World's circumstances.

And a gut feeling arose.

That feeling was that the New World was about to plunge into chaos.

This chaos may spread to the entire world.

If he want to survive in the chaotic world, his only options are to increase his strength or secure a powerful ally.

Speaking of allies,

Is there a stronger ally than Whitebeard in the world?

Hearing this, Kid fell silent.

He Know that these people's ideas are completely different from him

No matter how much he argues, the others are still inclined to surrender.

"Since the decision is made, let's make it clear!"

Hawkins stood up and walked confidently toward Whitebeard.

"Huh?"

The division commanders and the members of the Revolutionary Army who had been cheering were surprised by the actions of Hawkins and the other supernovas. They turned their attention to them, their eyes filled with doubt.

"What's this little guy up to?"

"Is he looking for Pops? Or does he plan to leave the Moby Dick?"

"How is that even possible? Their ships are all on Festival Island, and there's no other ship to leave on."

Whitebeard crew member whispered.

"Guurarara~"

"Young man, it seems you have something to say to me!"

Whitebeard turned around, his gaze directed downward as if he were looking at them from above..

"What happened today made us understand the dangers of New World, knowing that our strength is not enough to sail in these treacherous seas, so…."

Hawkins spoke with composure, then his words changed: "So, we're wondering if we might have the honor of joining the Whitebeard Pirates?!"
