Seafaring: We Were Already One of the Four Emperors Before You Arrived

Durant joined the Whitebeard Pirates two years ago.

With Durant on board, the Whitebeard Pirates became the world's strongest force. Ambitious Durant planned to lead them to greater heights and make them the next Pirate King.

But even the strongest fortress is often breached from within. He had a serious falling-out with Marco and the others. They cared only about their family and brothers, and had no interest in becoming Pirate King.

Marco: "We were already one of the Four Emperors before you showed up!!"

Ace: "The 'Grim Reaper' can only come for you in the Whitebeard Pirates. Leave us, and you're nothing!"

Diamond Jozu: "We were one of the Four Emperors before you came, and we'll still be one of the Four Emperors after you leave, so... your coming here was a complete waste!"

Faced with everyone turning against him, Durant angrily left the Whitebeard Pirates. He'd make it big on his own from now on!
