New world.
On a certain sea area.
A large number of pirate ships gathered here. These pirate ships were flying a variety of different flags, but most of them were based on skulls. With so many pirate ships gathered together, there was a vague feeling. An extremely depressing atmosphere.
In the center and front of these pirate ships, a large ship was docked there, and the flag hanging on the sail was the flag of the Whitebeard Pirates.
"Isn't the saber tooth shark here yet?"
Marco, the captain of the Whitebeard Pirates, was standing in front of the deck, looking at the many pirate ships gathering on the sea with a cold face, and spoke in a deep voice.
The Sabretooth Pirates are one of the pirate groups under Whitebeard.
There are a large number of pirate groups under Whitebeard, which can be said to be the largest among all the Yonko. After all, Whitebeard was a pirate of the same era as Roger, and was also the first Yonko on the sea. The pirates under his command There are a total of forty-three in the group!
When he learned that the Navy Headquarters was going to publicly execute Fire Fist Ace, Whitebeard directly summoned all the pirate groups affiliated with the Whitebeard Pirates.
If the Navy wants to publicly execute Fire Fist Ace, it will never tolerate it!
As one of the legends of the past, as the owner of the title of 'The Strongest Man in the World', as the Yonko Whitebeard... Even the Navy Headquarters cannot give in!
Although Whitebeard also knew that this was probably Blackbeard's conspiracy, and that Blackbeard maliciously induced him to go to war with the Navy Headquarters, he knew that he would not do such a thing and could not do it if he was asked to just sit back and ignore his son. come out.
"They said they were in a little trouble but would be there soon."
Someone spoke to Marco with a phone bug.
Marco looked at Whitebeard sitting not far away.
Whitebeard raised his head slightly and said: "Keep waiting, that brat Nadas will definitely come. Since he said he is in trouble, he must have been intercepted by the navy."
Marco nodded.
In this new world, there are many pirate groups who want to attach themselves to Whitebeard, but not everyone will accept them. The most important thing is to be benevolent and righteous!
Sabretooth Shark Nadas is also the captain with a bounty of more than 300 million. Marco is also very familiar with him. They drank many times at parties and went out to fight together.
"Everyone is here except Nadas."
The captain of the third division, Diamond Jozi, stood on the side of the ship, looked at the many pirate ships parked on the sea, and then looked at the people gathered on the deck here, and said: "They are all reliable at critical moments... This time we are going to fight with the Navy Headquarters, are you all afraid?"
The forty-two captains of Whitebeard's pirate group have all gathered on the deck at this moment, together with the captains of Whitebeard's group.
Hearing Jozi's words, someone grinned and said, "I don't know what the Navy Headquarters is like, but I know that someone wants to kill Captain Ace, so he must know the price!"
"That's right!"
"Destroy the Navy Headquarters!"
Many captains and captains of sub-groups spoke one after another.
Ace is very popular in the Whitebeard Pirates. He is sunny and friendly. He always rushes to the front in every battle and protects all his companions. Whether it is the captains of the group or the captains of these sub-groups, he and The relationship between Ace is like brothers.
"The Navy Headquarters is not that simple."
Whitebeard glanced at the angry crowd, raised his head slightly, and said: "But if you want to hurt my son, you have to pay a price, because I am... Whitebeard!"
A slightly domineering voice came, which added to the momentum of many captains. With Whitebeard, the 'strongest in the world', no matter what the enemy in front of them is, they almost all have confidence and confidence, even if it is Navy headquarters!
"Don't go back to your ship yet. Have lunch here. It won't be long before that guy Nadas arrives, and then we'll set off."
Marco looked at the time and greeted the leaders of the many sub-groups.
Everyone responded and soon gathered for dinner on the deck.
The deck of the Moby Dick was very large and could accommodate dozens of people without being very crowded. Whitebeard also ate something and quietly waited for the arrival of the last fleet.
Time passed quietly.
Soon after.
A pirate ship that seemed to have just experienced a battle sailed over and quickly approached the fleet of the Whitebeard Pirates, which was the last fleet under Whitebeard's command.
"It seems like we fought a tough battle. Did we meet the navy?"
Marco stood on the deck and said to Nadas on the deck of the fleet: "It seems that the injury is quite serious. Can you still fight?"
Nadas had a bandage on his shoulder. He looked up at Marco and said hey, "A little injury, no problem, but what I encountered was not the navy, but a guy under Kaido's command."
"Kaido..."
Marco's face was slightly cold, and he turned to look at Whitebeard.
Whitebeard narrowed his eyes slightly and said: "I don't have time to pay attention to that kid Kaido now. If you can still fight, Nadas, just go with the fleet!"
"Okay, Dad."
Nadas responded cleanly, and then ordered his crew to control the ship, change its course, and sail to the far right of the fleet.
When Whitebeard saw that everyone had arrived, he stood up from the deck. He was as tall as a giant and stood there like a mountain, making Marco and others feel extremely at ease.
"Then... let's go!"
Whitebeard held his naginata and walked to the front of the deck. His eyes flashed and he spoke, his voice resounding throughout the sea.
For a time, countless pirates shouted in response, and the fleets stationed here also put away their anchors and sailed forward, led by the Moby Dick.
Target...Navy Headquarters!
Everyone was shouting, everyone was in high spirits, looking at Whitebeard's back with a bit of respect and fanaticism, they clenched their sword hilts with murderous intent.
But only Marco, the captain of the first team, looked at Whitebeard's back, with a look of deep worry in his eyes.
He is the captain of the First Division and the ship's doctor of the Whitebeard Pirates.
He is the person who knows Whitebeard's physical condition best.
Whitebeard has held the title of the strongest in the world for decades, relying on his monster-like body and strength, as well as his ability to shake fruits that scare countless people.
The ability of this fruit is indeed extremely powerful. With all its strength, it can easily overturn and destroy an island... But its power does not come without any price. The long-term use of this devil fruit will cause certain hidden injuries to the body. And it will keep accumulating.
Whitebeard's health has been getting worse and worse in the past two years.
In the early years, with his regenerative flames, it was easier to suppress Whitebeard's hidden injuries, but in recent years, his regenerative flames have no effect.
After all, it was his own fruit ability, an ability in the form of a phantom beast species, the phoenix. If used by others, it would not have a real regenerative effect.
Especially in the past year, Marco, as the ship's doctor, knew very well that Whitebeard's hidden injuries would occur from time to time, which must be very painful. However, Whitebeard endured the pain, and at most he only frowned occasionally.
Others could not detect anything strange about Whitebeard, but as the ship's doctor, and as Marco who was paying attention to Whitebeard's condition all the time, he knew that it must be very painful.
But there was nothing he could do.
His healing ability has reached its limit.
"Dad..."
Marco gritted his teeth.
If it was the father ten years ago, or even five years ago, he would not be worried at all, but now he has to worry because those hidden injuries are too fatal.
Whitebeard stood at the front of the deck for a while holding his naginata, then turned around again and returned to his seat to sit down.
Marco came over and did a simple check on Whitebeard. After realizing that Whitebeard's condition was relatively stable, he felt slightly relieved, but his worry remained undiminished.
"Don't worry about anything, Marco."
Whitebeard glanced at Marco and said, "I'm in good health. If that guy from Warring States dares to execute Ace, I will chop off his head this time."
Hearing Whitebeard's words, Marco smiled and said, "With dad here, the navy is definitely no match. It's just that we need to make a plan to rescue Ace and not let Ace get hurt."
"Um."
Whitebeard nodded and said, "What do you think?"
Marco thought for a while and came up with some strategies. Just when he was about to speak out, someone suddenly jumped down from the top of the sail and said to Marco and Whitebeard:
"Dad! Captain Marco! A ship is coming!"
"Um?"
Marco turned his head, frowned slightly, and said, "Is it the Navy? Or Kaido? Are you here to cause trouble at this time?"
"No, it's not a navy or Kaido, it's a small ship... It seems like it's just one person."
After hearing what the man said, Whitebeard also looked over sideways.
Marco was slightly surprised.
Here is the entire fleet of their Whitebeard Pirates advancing. If they dare to come close at this time, it is still a small boat and a person. They are probably not looking for trouble.
Marco jumped up, reached the top of the sail, looked towards the sea, and sure enough he saw a small boat coming through the wind and waves.
This small boat is so small that it doesn't even have a sail, but it is autonomous in the absence of wind. The sea current below seems to be carrying the small boat forward, speeding towards this side like an arrow.
"That guy is..."
Looking at the figure on the boat, Marco's eyes flickered slightly.
There were not many people on this sea who could make a deep impression on him, but the people on that small boat were one of the people who made a deep impression on him.
This impression came from a newspaper a few days ago. The newspaper reported that the other party helped the Straw Hats escape from the Champaign Islands and was guilty of a heinous crime.
Along with this newspaper, there is a reward for the other party's release.
1 billion Baileys!
The other party's name is 'Wind Talker', her name is Nami, and she was once one of Albarez's cadres!
