Build The Strongest Family in the Prirate World

"Accept the punishment!"

Galen leapt into the air, swung his sword, and slashed at Edward Weevil.

Weevil's sword was coated in dark Armament Haki, and he countered without hesitation!

Edward Weevil might not be mentally sharp, but that didn't stop him from being a master of both Armament and Observation Haki.

A loud clash followed, with sparks flying and a powerful shockwave that made Miss Buckingham Stussy, who was hiding nearby, wince slightly.

After the impact, Miss Buckingham Stussy's eyes widened in shock.

In her memory, Edward Weevil almost never backed down in a direct confrontation. But now, he actually took several steps back.

Weevil glanced at his sword in confusion, noticing a small chip in the blade.

He scratched his head innocently, then covered the sword completely with Armament Haki again. Re-energized, he happily charged at Galen once more!

Earlier, when Galen and Weevil clashed, a mysterious force briefly disrupted the flow of Haki in Weevil's body.

This put him at a sudden disadvantage in the fight.

But now, with his Haki back in control, Weevil charged forward with confidence.

Relying on his sharp instincts and immense strength, Weevil knew that in terms of sheer power, Galen couldn't match him—just like the many enemies he had sliced in half before.

As long as they couldn't compete in strength, it was only a matter of time before he chopped them to pieces.

Weevil's greatest asset wasn't just the overwhelming power inherited from a young Whitebeard.

More precisely, his monstrous physique, inherited from Whitebeard, was the true reason behind his fearsome strength.

Ordinary people can only use Armament Haki at full power for one or two hours at most. Even Luffy needs to rest after pushing his limits.

But Weevil claimed he could maintain full-force Armament Haki for days.

However, not long after, his Haki was mysteriously interrupted by one of Galen's strange attacks. Weevil looked at the small crack in his sword with a pitiful expression.

He could keep fighting for days, but it seemed like his sword couldn't last that long.

Weevil sensed something was wrong, and Miss Buckingham Stussy, who had been quietly observing the battle, was now sweating nervously.

Though Buckingham Stussy wasn't as strong as Edward Weevil, her knowledge far surpassed his.

She had once sailed on the same ship as Whitebeard.

In fact, in her younger years, Miss Buckingham Stussy was part of the most feared pirate crew of the time—the Rocks Pirates.

Of course, she was just a ship's doctor on Rocks' crew.

As the battle between Weevil and Galen unfolded, she sensed an overwhelming danger.

Even though Weevil had been pushing Galen back with his serious attacks, Miss Buckingham Stussy carefully studied Galen's expression.

To her surprise, just like Edward Weevil, Galen didn't have a single drop of sweat on his forehead.

Another monster on the sea with a natural-born strength, just like Whitebeard or Kaido.

Monsters aren't rare. If someone can go head-to-head with Edward Weevil, the "son" she carefully raised, they're bound to be a monster too! 

After all, only monsters can defeat monsters.

But what really made Miss Buckingham Stussy feel the danger was that she noticed something unusual.

During his all-out fight with Edward Weevil, Galen's aura kept getting stronger.

Battling powerful opponents allowed Galen to unlock more and more of his potential.

In simple terms, it was like he was gaining experience points, getting closer to leveling up.

"What kind of potential does this guy have?"

"Could he have even more potential than Edward Weevil, who I've spent years raising?"

Miss Buckingham Stussy stared at Galen, who was growing stronger, her face filled with fear, her eyes darting around.

She was just about to tell Weevil to grab her and run.

But the next second, Marine Colonel Groom, Galen's adjutant, appeared from behind her, leading a small group of Marine elites.

"Vice Admiral Galen said this fight isn't something we should interfere with."

"I know we're weak."

Groom lowered his head, gripping his sword tightly. His knuckles were pale from how hard he was squeezing it.

"But we're Marines!"

"Just because we're weak, does that mean we should stand by and watch our leader fight the enemy alone?"

"Stop dreaming, Miss Buckingham Stussy! Don't even think about sneaking up on Vice Admiral Galen!"

"Your fight is with us!"

"We're going to take you down!"

As Groom spoke, he raised his head high, his face full of determination. The Marines behind him, though few in number, were also ready to give their lives.

Miss Buckingham Stussy didn't have a bounty on her head, but as the mother of the fearsome Edward Weevil, no one would think she was weak.

Groom and the others were trying to reduce Galen's enemies as much as possible.

Miss Buckingham Stussy, who had been planning to call for Weevil to retreat, now found herself staring at Groom and the other Marines charging at her with determination. She was completely speechless.

"What's going on?"

"I didn't want to attack Galen, I just wanted to run…"

Miss Buckingham Stussy certainly wasn't weak—after all, she once sailed with Whitebeard.

But to call her a true powerhouse?

Well, that's a bit of a stretch…

After raising Edward Weevil, she hadn't fought in a very long time.

In other words, once she pinned all her hopes on Weevil, she stopped being the Miss Buckingham Stussy she used to be.

In the pirate world, being strong requires a strong will. Spirit is a powerful force.

But now, Miss Buckingham Stussy was just an old, frail woman. Her combat strength barely matched that of a Marine Headquarters colonel.

Meanwhile, Groom and his elite Marines had been trained under Galen and had fought many bloody battles with pirates.

Compared to regular Marines of the same rank, they were just as skilled.

And when faced with a ruthless pirate like Miss Buckingham Stussy, who could still be quite dangerous, Groom and the others naturally chose to gang up on her!

In battles between Marines and pirates, there's no room for honor.

With looks of determination, Groom and his group launched a fierce attack on Miss Buckingham Stussy.

Under their onslaught, Miss Buckingham Stussy was soon dodging and fleeing in confusion!

"Son, save me…"

Dodging bullets in desperation, Miss Buckingham Stussy called out for Edward Weevil to rescue her.

Weevil, who had been struggling to finish off Galen but finding it harder and harder, panicked when he heard his mother's cry for help. He abandoned Galen and ran towards Miss Buckingham Stussy.

Galen watched as Weevil fled in a panic. But instead of taking the chance to attack him from behind, Galen's sword began to glow with a faint light.

Then, moving far faster than Weevil, Galen blocked his path.

"This road is closed!"

Galen held his sword firmly, his expression serious.

"Come fight me!"

"Justice is with me!"

Behind Galen, Groom and his group, who had finally captured Miss Buckingham Stussy, stood there looking bewildered.

The possible lover of Whitebeard, the mother of the mighty Edward Weevil...

And this was how it ended?
