One Piece's Bizzare Adventure - Chapter 10
Here it comes!
The iconic scene was finally here!
Jon smirked.
Some people liked to collect action figures, others like to collect cards.
Whitebeard was different.
He liked to collect “sons.”
Of course, Whitebeard’s collection of sons wasn’t some strange fetish, nor was it for his own benefit.
The old man was truly willing to risk his life for his sons!
In other words, if Whitebeard accepted you as his son, it was because he admired you and wanted to protect you in this cruel world.
After a moment of contemplation, Jon spoke up, “It’s an honor to join the world-renowned Whitebeard Pirates.”
Suddenly, he changed the subject.
“But, I refuse!”
“What?!”
Just a second ago, everyone was chatting happily, and Marco and the others thought they were about to gain another little brother.
They didn’t expect Jon’s turnabout to be so drastic, catching everyone off guard.
Ace was immediately anxious.
“Jon, what are you talking about? Don’t you want to become famous with me?”
Jon waved his hand, indicating for Ace to calm down.
Facing Whitebeard’s thoughtful gaze, he calmly said, “Whitebeard-dono, or should I call you Old Man. Old man, I’m very grateful that you recognize me. After all, I grew up listening to the legend of ‘Whitebeard.’ I’ve also heard about all Whitebeard Pirates’ famous tales. Undoubtedly, the Whitebeard Pirates were legendary in this era. However, my goal was not to become part of a legend, but to become a legend myself! So, please allow me to refuse.”
After saying so much, to put it simply, ‘I can establish a good relationship with you all, but I don’t have the habit of acknowledging a father.’
Jon’s expression was extremely calm.
At this moment, the system provided feedback.
?A new legendary event has been unlocked?
?Legendary level has increased, reaching level 3?
Refusing Whitebeard can also increase the legendary level?
Jon was secretly delighted.
Finally, he could go home!
It must be said that language was an art.
Jon’s explanation not only didn’t offend Whitebeard and Marco but also made them look at him with higher regard.
Good kid, ambitious!
Especially Whitebeard, the more he looked at Jon’s handsome face, the more satisfied he became.
From this kid, he saw the shadow of many old friends.
“Gu ra ra ra, if you refuse, then so be it. The door of the Whitebeard Pirates will always be open to you.”
Skipping over this topic nonchalantly, Whitebeard waved his big hand.
“Silly kids, what are you waiting for? Let’s start the banquet!”
Banquets.
The favorite way for pirates to celebrate.
Find treasure, have a banquet.
Escaped from the Marine’s pursuit, have a banquet.
Away from home for three years, received a letter from the wife saying she was giving birth, have a banquet.
Cough, have a banquet to comfort a brother and encourage him to stay strong.
In short, if you want to have fun, just have a banquet.
Although it was daytime, Jon still felt the fiery enthusiasm of the Whitebeard Pirates.
Barrels of good wine were carried in, and trays of delicious food were brought out.
Ace and Jon unsurprisingly became the center of attention at the banquet.
Marco and the others came over to challenge the two in drinking.
Jon didn’t back down, accepting every challenger.
One drink after another, the challenger came!
Ace’s eyes widened.
Good lad, a god of alcohol right beside me?
After three rounds of drinks and five flavors of dishes.
As everyone chatted, they naturally brought up Jon’s exploit in Impel Down.
“Haha, little brother finally showed his face this time. I heard that the Fleet Admiral was furious and smashed up his office.”
“Not only that, Impel Down’s Chief Warden Magellan was beaten to a pulp and demoted to a regular prison guard. How tragic.”
“The World Government is quite dissatisfied with Magellan. Just look at the language used in the newspapers, they clearly have no intention of saving his reputation.”
“In the end, it’s all thanks to Jon’s ferocity! Rampaging in Impel Down? Damn, I wouldn’t even dare to dream of it.”
These Captains of the Whitebeard Pirates casually mentioned it, and each of them is worth over five hundred million berries.
But compared to newcomers like Jon, who was offered a bounty of one billion as soon as he debuted, their past actions all seemed trivial.
It was not an exaggeration to say that if someone were to write a history book, Jon would definitely be remembered for generations.
Even Shiki’s escape from Impel Down paled in comparison to Jon!
Killing the Warden of Impel Down and fooling the Head Warden of Impel Down.
Jon single-handedly rubbed the World Government’s face in the dirt, no wonder the Fleet Admiral was furious enough to smash his own office.
“Ah, actually, I’m not in Impel Down because I want to either.”
Jon sighed and said softly, “I’m a Teleport-Teleport Fruit user. Due to the side effects of the fruit, I often end up in dangerous places. In the past, it was fine, and I always managed to come out unscathed. I didn’t expect that this time, I would end up in Impel Down.”
He shrugged.
“I can’t just sit in prison like an idiot, so…”
Since he was in someone else’s world, he had to conform to their worldview.
Jon smiled bitterly.
After a pause, he continued, “But this time, it turned out to be a blessing in disguise, as I developed a new ability. As long as I establish a fixed coordinate, no matter where I teleport to in the future, I can return to that coordinate. Do you guys know of any absolutely safe place, so that I…”
Before he could finish his sentence, Marco, who was staring blankly, interrupted him.
“Jon, you’re being too reserved. What place could be safer than the Moby Dick?”
Ace nodded repeatedly, eagerly adding, “That’s right, you’re my savior, and more importantly, my savior. Your business is my business, and my home is your home!”
Saying that, he looked at Whitebeard, who was silently drinking at the head of the table.
“Right, Pops?”
“Gu ra ra ra, that’s right!”
Whitebeard burst into laughter.
This old man could still tell the difference an enemy and a friend.
Whitebeard could see that Jon wasn’t telling the whole truth, but he could also see that Jon didn’t harbor any hostility towards the Whitebeard Pirates.
Since that’s the case, why not lend this little guy a hand?
It wouldn’t hurt anyway.
“Old man, brothers, I’ll toast to you all!”
With his goal achieved, Jon was in a great mood.
He raised his huge wine glass and, without further ado, chugged it down.
Cheers erupted, and the atmosphere became even more lively.
On the other side, in the Sabaody Archipelago.
“Gee, young people these days are really scary.”
The scruffy-looking Borsalino pushed up his sunglasses and turned to his deputy, “You agree, Sentomaru?”
“Admiral Kizaru, the Fleet Admiral has tasked us with capturing the rookies on the island alive.”
Sentomaru, who wielded a large axe, looked serious.
“The ‘Rogue’ Jon infiltrated Impel Down and rescued Portgas D. Ace. We have to do something in exchange for the public execution. Since we couldn’t kill Ace, we have no choice but to target these rookies. This is what Mary Geoise wants.”
“Alright, alright, Sentomaru, I got it.”
Kizaru rolled his eyes.
“I’ll do as instructed.”
