Vista, the foil fencer, wiped his sword. "What's wrong with that? My father is getting old. What's wrong with him closing his eyes and resting?"
The pirates on the deck were all jeering.
"Instead of thinking about that, we should think about Big Mom, one of the Four Emperors." Ace wrapped his arms tightly around Marco's neck, peered at the newspaper in Marco's hand, and sighed with admiration, "No wonder she's the woman who gave birth to an entire Four Emperors crew... She can still have children at such an old age."
"The child Charlotte Linlin is carrying this time... is no ordinary child." The white-bearded voice suddenly rang out.
"What?"
"Dad!"
"You're awake?"
The many captains of the Whitebeard Pirates turned around and saw Whitebeard with a serious expression, gripping his naginata tightly.
In the next instant, the mist rose up. Tall, slender figures slowly emerged from it.
"Gentlemen, it's been a long time!" Zhang Sanfeng, dressed in a Taoist robe, smiled and nodded to the captains of the Whitebeard Pirates.
Madara Uchiha wore red armor and looked much younger than before. Although his hair was still white, his face was wrinkle-free and he was extremely indifferent.
Accelerator squinted, looking around. "Is this another world? An ocean... and the living environment! Apart from the much higher oxygen concentration, it's not that different from the world I'm in..."
Accelerator's mind was racing, a vast amount of knowledge combining within him. He took a deep look at the tall, white-bearded figure. So that's it. The reason this world could produce such enormous monsters was due to its unique environment?
Rukia Kuchiki summoned her own Shirayuki and looked around nervously. This was her first time in the world of other council members.
Su Han's figure remained shrouded in mist as always, silent and mysterious.
“Uncle! You… um?” Marco laughed as he walked up to Zhang Sanfeng, his expression changing.
His Observation Haki sensed the surge of energy emanating from Zhang Sanfeng. He even felt a sense of danger emanating from Zhang Sanfeng.
How could this be? Marco's pupils contracted sharply, and he felt his scalp throbbing.
During their last meeting, Marco only valued Zhang Sanfeng's drinking capacity; as for his strength... it's not that Marco underestimated Zhang Sanfeng. If you threw Zhang Sanfeng into the New World, he might not survive three days.
But... this time, Marco didn't feel like he was facing an ordinary old man; his Observation Haki warned him. He almost suspected that the person standing in front of him was a Marine Admiral in his prime.

Author's Note on Launch
It's finally going to be released! After nearly two months of waiting, it's finally going to be available. I have so many feelings about it.
I am very grateful to my two editors, Brother Green Bean and Brother Starry Night.
If I hadn't repeatedly worked out the plot with Brother Dou, the protagonist's charisma wouldn't have been established so solidly in the early stages... and without that charisma, the book would have been half a failure.
As for Brother Ye, even though my book consistently ranked near the bottom in recommendation scores, he still firmly believed in me and supported my recommendations...
I am truly grateful to both editors! They poured their hearts and souls into my book.
Of course, I really need to thank my readers the most. Those who love this book and are willing to support me, you are all the most adorable! Love you all! (｡◝ᴗ◜｡)
Let me explain the release plan. I'll be updating 10 chapters on the first day of release, but it might not all be released at once. However, it will definitely happen within a day!
The next day, I'll try to update ten chapters... Of course, I'm not sure, I can only say I'll do my best. My minimum is five chapters and 10,000 words a day... I won't go below that at the very least. Unless something goes wrong in real life, but in that case, I'll apologize to the readers, ask for leave, and then make up for it...
Then there's the bonus chapter plan: three extra chapters (6,000 words) for each patron... Thanks again to my generous patron, "Uncompromising Patron," for this generous donation before the book was even published, hehehe... Wipe your drool.
I'll make do with the three leader cards. I added one before it was released, and I'll add the other two after it's released.
Then there's the issue of monthly tickets... I don't really understand monthly tickets either... I asked a friend, and they said it's one chapter for every 1000 monthly tickets? Hmm, let's just leave it at that... I really don't know! Readers, please don't hit me if you think it's too high...
I'll keep all the missed updates in mind and try my best to catch up... I hope I don't exceed my limits. Although I feel this is too narcissistic... how could I possibly exceed my limits, hahaha...
Why am I panicking for no reason... Oh well, it's not important...
I'm going to get back to writing now. Love you all.

Chapter 138 The Beginning of Total War, the Breathtakingly Powerful Six Paths Madara (First Update)
"Your strength has improved so quickly." Marco uttered a dry sentence, his mind a mess, even wondering if Zhang Sanfeng had concealed his aura to trick him last time.
But thinking about it carefully, if Zhang Sanfeng were really that weak, it's impossible that he had such a good relationship with his father, Whitebeard.
"How long are we going to keep discussing these meaningless topics?" Madara Uchiha glanced at the group, then suddenly clasped his hands together, unleashing a terrifying burst of chakra from his body.
That was a special chakra formed from the combined chakra of the nine tailed beasts. Madara Uchiha's clothes gradually turned into a white robe, and horns, characteristic of the Otsutsuki clan, sprouted from his head. He exuded a suffocating aura. He said expressionlessly, "Six Paths Mode! Activate."
Although he didn't extract all nine tailed beasts, only collecting a portion of them, through years of research during the Training Month, Madara Uchiha is now able to control himself into the Six Paths Madara state.
Even though this was only an incomplete Six Paths state, and he couldn't even condense a Truth-Seeking Ball, it still greatly increased his strength.
Then, Madara Uchiha slightly opened his Rinnegan, and the terrifying repulsive force directly caused the Moby Dick to float. His voice was completely emotionless as he asked, "Tell me, in which direction is Whole Cake Island, where the Charlotte Pirates are stationed?"
"This suffocating sense of oppression." Ace's pupils contracted. Uchiha Madara at this moment was even more powerful than the last time he had seen him. And not just by a little bit.
But the key question is, Madara Uchiha's last display of power was already terrifyingly strong, turning the entire Mary Geoise upside down with a single move... So how powerful will Madara Uchiha be now that he's entered a new state?
Vista the Flower Sword paused for a moment, glanced at Whitebeard, and gave a wry smile. Although he knew it was wrong... he now had a vague suspicion that this man named Uchiha Madara might be stronger than his father.
"Over there!" The white-bearded man scanned the entire area and noticed that all his sons were stunned and no one was asking any questions, so he simply pointed in a direction himself.
Madara Uchiha's expression remained unchanged, but the Moby Dick sped off in the direction Whitebeard had pointed.
