Hearing Ian's question, Marco was stunned for a moment, but then he reacted.
Since Ace came back last time, Marco and the others heard about Ian's healing ability from Ace, so they immediately thought that Ian might want to go back and cure his father first.
So Marco immediately whispered something in Ian's ear.
"Understood!" Ian nodded, glanced at the red dog over there, and said to Marco: "Help me hold on for another ten minutes! Is there a problem?"
"No problem!" Marco responded immediately, and at the same time rushed towards Akainu, replacing Ian, and continued to fight Akainu.
Although Akainu wants to attack Ian very much, the problem is that Marco is not to be underestimated, so there is nothing he can do. Facing Marco's constant attack, he can only deal with what is in front of him first.
As for Ian, after Marco rushed up, he immediately raised his wings of flame and flew towards the islands behind.
Although Warring States was entangled by Ivakov and Crocodile, he had been paying attention to Ian's movements. When he saw him flying up, he immediately guessed that he might be looking for Whitebeard, so he faced Crocodile. Rockdale ignored the attack, and directly slapped in Ian's direction!
A burst of golden light shone out, and a powerful shock wave immediately shot out from the palm of Zhan Guo, quickly attacking Ian who was flying in mid-air.
However, at this moment, a thick figure suddenly jumped up, blocking the path of the shock wave in mid-air!
It's Diamond Jozy!
Although he looks like a reckless man, Jozi is actually quite a calm person. When he saw Ian attacking the red dog, he guessed what Ian might do. As expected, he immediately watched Ian and Marco muttered for a while, and then flew up.
So he immediately realized that Ian might want to find his father.
When Zhan Guo launched an attack towards Ian, he jumped up without hesitation and blocked the blow of Zhan Guo for Ian.
Although the attack was blocked with a diamond body, the attack power of the Warring States Period is really strong enough. Qiaozi's body was directly sent flying by the shock wave, and he spun dozens of times in mid-air before hitting the ground hard. superior.
Ian also saw the scene where Joz helped him block the attack, and before he had time to say thank you to Joz, he sped up and flew forward.
Now the only person who can still intercept him is Huang Yuan, but Huang Yuan and Ai Nilu are fighting inseparably at this time, and he doesn't care about this side at all.
Warring States watched Ian go away, feeling restless. Of course he understood that Ian must have gone to look for Whitebeard, but in his opinion, it would not be useful if Ian went to a seriously injured Whitebeard. It would be even better if An wanted to break out of the encirclement with White Beard, then the navy's chance would come!
Logically speaking, it was a good thing for Ian to leave, but for some reason, the restlessness in Zhan Guo's heart just couldn't disappear.
"Could it be that he has other trump cards!?" Zhan Guo thought.
… … … … … … …
According to the direction and position that Marco said, Ian watched carefully while flying. After passing dozens of large and small islands and reefs, he finally saw a small island with a large area.
It is basically impossible to have any plants on the islands and reefs in the Aitwall Sea, because the tide may rise here at any time, causing some islands to be submerged, so most of the time, only some moss or barnacles can be seen on the rocky surface here. class of aquatic organisms.
But on this small island, Ian saw a dark cave.
Realizing that this was Whitebeard's hiding place, Ian immediately landed and ran towards the cave.
However, when he first entered the cave, he heard a loud roar from inside: "Who is it!?"
Followed by a group of blazing flames!
Ian quickly got down on the ground, and after avoiding the flames, he shouted, "Ace! It's me!"
"Ian!!?" Ace's surprised voice came: "You are finally here! Come on, come and see Dad!"
Ian hurried in and saw a group of people inside the cave.
The ship doctor of the Whitebeard Pirates, as well as the team of beautiful nurses who have been following Whitebeard, plus the captain of the eighth team, the murloc Namuir and Ace, all surrounded a stone bed. In front of it, a tall man was lying on it.
Needless to say, this tall man was naturally Edward Newgate with a white beard.
Next to the stone bed, there was still an infusion bottle hanging, and the white beard was lying on the bed, with a thick bandage wrapped around his chest, but a lot of blood oozed from his heart, he seemed to be struggling to sit up, but He was desperately held down by Ace and Namuir.
Looking at the situation, Ian immediately understood that Whitebeard was probably worried about the battle between his sons and the navy, so he wanted to support himself and join the battle, but was strongly discouraged by everyone.
When Ian came in, the anger on Whitebeard's face hadn't disappeared yet...
"Father, what do you want to do?" Ian waved to Ace and Namuir with a smile on his face.
"Brat, are you coming to see my joke too?" Whitebeard was stunned when he saw Ian appearing, and then said with a straight face.
However, although there was a displeased expression on his face, Ian could see an unconcealable joy in his eyes.
Obviously, Ian's appearance made Whitebeard feel very relieved...
"Severely injured! Do you still want to fight the navy?" Ian couldn't help laughing and said, "Are you letting your sons fight too easily?"
"Shut up! Who do you think I am?" White Beard snorted coldly and said, "I am White Beard! I can still hold on to such a small injury!"
"Yes yes yes!" Ian answered him while walking towards him, "Everyone knows that you are the strongest man in the world..."
However, when he heard this word from Ian's mouth, Whitebeard couldn't help feeling sad.
When the forty-three pirate groups under the Whitebeard Pirates came to support, Whitebeard wanted to go out and fight the navy. However, because they were worried about his injury and body, Marco and the others faced him with death. Force him, press him in this cave, and not let him go out.
Everyone knows that the target of the navy is the head of the old man. If he goes out with injuries, the navy will recklessly attack him and kill him. Marco and the others dare not take this risk, so they try their best to dissuade him. After him, he rushed out with everyone and fought the navy.
According to Marco's idea, when everyone is attracting the attention of the navy, see if they can send the old man away first.
Although he is called the strongest man in the world, Whitebeard also understands that he is still alone, he will also be injured, and he will also die. Now seeing Marco and the others fighting with the navy, he is injured here How could he accept it with his pride and dignity!
Especially just now when I found out that the battle seemed to be getting more intense, and even Ace was knocked into the water and almost drowned. After being rescued by Namuir, he couldn't bear it anymore and wanted to get out of bed fighting.
If it wasn't for Ian's sudden appearance, Ace and the others would hardly be able to hold the white beard.
"How's the situation? Someone tell me about Dad's injuries!" Ian walked over, glanced at the blood oozing from Dad's chest, and said.
"It's not good!" A bespectacled ship doctor of the Whitebeard Pirates adjusted the frame of his glasses, frowned and cursed, "That bastard, Tiki, he put poison on his weapon..."
This is why White Beard was injured so badly!
When Tiqi attacked Whitebeard, the knife he used was smeared with the poison prepared by Poison Q himself!
This is an extremely despicable behavior. In fact, among pirates, this method of applying poison to weapons is extremely despised. Although many pirates usually do all kinds of evil, they also believe in dignified fighting. If they were defeated by the opponent's strength, the pirates would have nothing to say, and sometimes they would even join the opponent's command because they admired the opponent's strength.
However, no one would accept it if he was killed by such indecent means as poisoning a weapon.
It is not the same as purely using poison. Applying poison to weapons is too insidious. In history, there have been only pirate groups that seldom apply poison to weapons as a means of attack. These pirate groups may be able to win a victory or two. But when the matter spreads, it will often become the first target of other pirates to annihilate, and there will be no good end.
When Whitebeard was stabbed before, no one thought that Tiqi would smear poison on the weapon. When something was wrong later, the toxin had already invaded Whitebeard's body.
Without knowing the formula of the poison, no one knows what the toxin is. Just like snake venom needs a special corresponding serum to detoxify, the ship doctors of the Whitebeard Pirates naturally have no way to find an antidote for the toxin.
And from Tiqi stabbing Whitebeard to escape, to the Whitebeard Pirates being besieged by the navy, what happened during this period is one after another, and Whitebeard has not received effective treatment in the true sense, and it has been delayed until now …
So even if he can still talk and get up now, it is actually because of him holding on. His current situation is very bad, and he may pass out at any time due to injuries and toxins.
Let me ask, under such circumstances, who of his sons can rest assured that he will go to the battlefield
That's not going to war, that's going to give away heads!
After listening to the ship doctor's narration, Ian also understood what was going on, so he couldn't help but shook his head and said, "Really... Dad, you have to be brave..."
"When did you even come to preach to me!?" The white beard glared at Ian and said, "I'm about to die, but even if I'm going to die, I'll die on the battlefield! Not in this damp cave , above the damp stone bed!"
