Chapter 2719: The Application Letter from the Skeleton Knight!
Chapter 2719 A Call Request from the Skeleton Knight!
The following day, around 3 PM on July 13th (starfish time).
Edward Newgate reports to Im through the power of the 'God of War'.
He indicated that after careful consideration, he hoped to stay in the starfish and no longer wanted to live the adventurous life of a 'pirate'.
Im was not surprised by this.
Because it was responsible for monitoring the starfish's homeland, 'CIPHER POL-No.3'.
I had already recorded and reported everything that happened on Sphinx Island yesterday.
Let's rewind to the afternoon of the day before yesterday.
Edward Newgate returned to the starfish from Noah's Ark.
He immediately extended an invitation to his children.
The next day.
Sphinx Island.
This once barren and impoverished island has now been transformed into a peaceful and tranquil paradise.
Inside the main hall of 'Whitebeard Castle'.
A huge sofa, large enough to accommodate Newgate's six-meter-six-meter frame, sat in the center.
And all around him.
Rows of uniform and comfortable sofas.
The room was filled with children who had traveled from all over the country to return.
The prestige of this gathering is so high that it would make any country in the world tremble.
And the people closest to Newgate.
Of course, it's Marco, who serves as the director of the World Hospital on the Canberra continent in the world of giants.
Joz, who had just been promoted to Army General and was being considered for the rank of Army General, and Whiteybe, who had been promoted to Lieutenant General.
Vista also came from Kotosai on Wanoshima Island.
And Sachi, the Im chef who specifically took leave from Noah's Ark in the Shikon Jewel world to return.
Lori Mercury, whom Edward Newgate took in in the world of Farmat.
At this moment, she sat quietly beside Waidibe.
"Gurgle gurgle~ Everyone's here~"
Newgate looked around, his eyes filled with satisfaction.
He didn't beat around the bush; after a brief exchange of pleasantries, he got straight to the point.
That's how it is.
"As I understand it, the World Government is preparing to usher in a new era of cosmic pirates."
"They then asked me if I would be willing to raise the 'Whitebeard' banner again, form a 'Whitebeard Adventurer' crew, and venture into the star systems of the Galactic Empire once more."
Newgate paused, his gaze becoming deep.
"I didn't agree immediately; I wanted to hear your thoughts first."
"If I decide to go, how many of you would be willing to leave your current lives and come with me?"
The words fell.
The once noisy hall instantly fell into a deathly silence.
The expressions on many people's faces became incredibly interesting at that moment.
Hesitation, struggle, and doubt—these emotions mingled in the air.
This caused the atmosphere at the scene to suddenly become oppressive and awkward.
Because of these years of joining the World Government.
They are no longer the homeless pirates who could only seek refuge on the deck.
They may have even started a family, with a lover, wife, and toddlers.
To make them give up the hard-won stability and happiness, their careers and relationships.
Returning once again to that life of adventure, living on the edge, in the dark and cold universe.
It is indeed an incredibly cruel choice.
Edward Newgate watched all of this in silence.
His eyes, which had seen through the vicissitudes of life, saw through every moment of hesitation.
"Dad!"
Marco was the first to break the silence.
He stood up, habitually adjusted his glasses, and said firmly, "With just one word from you, I will immediately resign from my position as dean!"
"Me too!"
Joz also suddenly stood up.
His palm pounded against his chest, producing a dull thud like rocks hitting each other.
"What's so special about an army general?"
"I'm ready to go anytime my dad needs me!"
"Hehe, wherever Dad goes, I'll go."
Sachi, dressed in a red and white top-grade chef's uniform, gave a cheerful answer.
"I'd also like to follow my dad; I've never even been to space before, it's definitely more interesting than my current job!"
Lori Mercury raised her red eyes and teased.
Immediately afterwards, Bitta, Waidibe, Bramanck, and others stood up.
They proved with their words and actions that even though their lives have changed.
But her feelings for her 'father' never wavered.
at the same time.
Newgate also saw deep guilt and pain in the eyes of his children who did not get up.
Then he turned to look out the window at the children running and playing with the sphinxes on the grass.
Those are the children of these children and their grandchildren.
"Gulala la la la—"
Newgate suddenly burst into an extremely hearty laugh.
His laughter seemed to make the entire castle tremble slightly.
"I have made my decision!"
He gestured for Marco, Joz, Vista, Sachs, and the others to sit down first.
"I will not abandon anyone here."
"Since you have found a life more meaningful than 'pirates'."
"Then how can I, as its father, destroy it with my own hands?"
He stood up, opened his arms, as if to embrace all his children in the room.
"I'm not going anywhere!"
"I want to stay with the starfish, to stay by your side."
"As long as I live, I will be your strongest support!"
next moment.
Cheers erupted throughout the hall.
Many people shed tears of gratitude.
It was a feeling of relief and joy, and even more so, a deep attachment to this family bond.
Let's return to Im at this moment.
Since Newgate, Kaido, and Boros are not going.
Then give Shiki the best resources. Let him build up his power in a short time.
It has become a headache for the Galactic Empire.
"Ok?"
Just as Im was preparing to go out with Stusi.
While taking a break from his travels around the world, Shikon Jewel.
The star chart, which had been silent for a long time, suddenly gave a warning.
[Target 'Skeleton Knight Galcelik' accepts the 'Star Apprentice' qualification.]
['Star Apprentice' Galcelik requests a call.]
"Did he finally agree?" Im asked, slightly surprised.
At first.
That is, October 1506.
He and the God of Nothingness clashed in the world of Falmat, creating a spacetime rift.
This resulted in the latter being teleported to a planet near the world of 'Berserk'.
This caused the encounter and conflict between the god of nothingness and the evil abyss.
At that time, we were separated by 'fate'.
This prevented him from setting up a Stargate in the 'Berserk World'.
But while Im was watching from the sidelines...
They unexpectedly discovered the 'Skull Knight' who was also watching the show.
Then, an invitation message was sent through the "Star Apprentice" function of "Star Chart".
As long as the other party accepts to become a 'Star Apprentice', they can naturally light up a 'Star Gate' in the 'Sword Wind World'.
But once the message was sent, it disappeared without a trace, as if a stone had sunk into the sea.
Im assumed that the 'Skeleton Knight' had decided to refuse.
Unexpectedly, he suddenly chose to accept.
"Connect me."
“Listen to what this self-proclaimed ‘man who seeks revenge against the hand of God’ has to say to Mu.”
Im gave orders to the 'star map' with great interest.
At the same time, it was placed near the 'Berserk Planet'.
The medium is a 'stargate' on an uninhabited planet.
They observed the clash between the God of Nothingness and the Abyss of Evil.
"I see."
"He realized that the 'Abyss of Evil' and the Hand of God couldn't hold on any longer."
"The threat posed by the God of Nothingness to the world is even greater."
"Between two evils, we must choose the lesser one and have no choice but to risk contacting this mysterious being, Mu."
Im couldn't help but chuckle softly, "Heh, he really had a hard time~"
My train of thought was really stuck today, and I only managed to write one chapter.
