Chapter 717 The remnants of the old era
"Dad, why don't we go to Wano Country?"
[Foil] Bista is also a famous swordsman in the New World. He is standing behind [Whitebeard] Edward Newgate, looking at this man whose body is obviously young again, but his eyes are getting older. The strongest in the world].
Dad may be really tired...
Bista, like many people, feels this growing.
Whitebeard's old age is not reflected in his physical condition or combat prowess. Ever since the mysterious man Mist Silvermoon came to the ship two years ago and gave his father the secret medicine to regain his youth, [The World's Strongest 】This name once again lost its suspense.
No matter who it is, Kaido, who is becoming more and more victorious, or the red-haired man who came from Roger's ship, can't ignore the terrifying oppressive power of Whitebeard.
But even though my father is unparalleled in battle, he is not as domineering as before.
He began to stare at the distant sky more and more, and he began to consciously hand over more and more territory and manpower to people like himself to take care of.
Bista could feel that the rumors in the large fleet were not groundless. Dad was indeed planning to find a successor, whether it was Marco, who had been with Dad the longest and had the highest strength and prestige, or the one who was making rapid progress, enthusiastic and heroic Ace is favored by his father.
Whitebeard stared into the distance, wondering whether he was looking at his hometown or thinking about the battlefield of Wano.
There are various gossips in the large fleet all the time, but Whitebeard has never made any move.
After hearing Bista's words, Edward Newgate still had no intention of leaving. In fact, he knew better than anyone else that the secret medicine that Mist Silver Moon found him two years ago and gave him was not a gift.
That's just a deal.
At that time, Mist Silvermoon lacked the power to rule everything on that terrible battlefield, and lacked the power to face the navy and the world government.
So he found himself, gave himself the secret medicine, and allowed himself, the "monster", to stand tall on the battlefield again, while he secretly completed his goal - to obliterate the Tianlong people.
Boom, boom.
Whitebeard's current physical condition means that he no longer needs to use [Congyunqie] as a walking stick when walking, but he has become accustomed to his old and sick body, and he still retains this habit.
"Mist Silvermoon is a terrible careerist."
Whitebeard's voice was low, and as soon as he spoke, the air buzzed and vibrated, making his voice extremely oppressive. All the crew members on the [Mobydick] immediately stopped what they were doing and listened intently to what their father said.
Whitebeard walked onto the bow of the ship and continued:
"Two years ago, when he had no power, he relied on the power of me and Kaido."
"Two years later, he appears again and wants to challenge Kaido. He has obtained the power to support his ambition..."
Diamond George frowned, and the man as hard as diamond said in a muffled voice.
"Then shouldn't we go to that battlefield?"
"Dad, you should decide the situation of the world!"
He trusted Whitebeard more than anything.
Whitebeard looked at the children below who all had similar expressions, and suddenly laughed out loud.
"Gu la la la la..."
The laughter caused the air to vibrate and spread for several kilometers, causing the sea beasts in the nearby sea to collapse in fear.
But after laughing for a while, Whitebeard suddenly stopped talking. He was sitting on the bow of his boat, like a giant. The sun behind him was about to sink under the sea. The warm orange sun shone on Whitebeard, exuding Inexplicable twilight.
"Silly kids, I'm getting old."
As soon as Whitebeard said these words, Bista, George and other captains all had inexplicably red eyes. It was as if the king of an era was telling his exit speech, making them sad and unable to control themselves.
"I am a remnant of the old era. The era that belonged to me and Roger, it's time to quit long ago..."
Whitebeard knows many inside stories about the world, even the final island [Ravdru], he can go there if he wants to.
Not to mention that Roger once took the initiative to inform the coordinates of [Ravdrew], Whitebeard, as the [Uncrowned King] who stood in front of the throne but did not claim the title of king after Roger, had already achieved dominance in another form.
But he didn't want to.
[One Piece] is not what Whitebeard wants.
He looked at the red-eyed sons below and laughed again.
"Gu la la la la, the new era is up to you to decide!"
"Marco and Ace will continue to move forward with the [Whitebeard Pirates], and they will also choose your future path in Wano Country!"
Only then did Bista know that Marco and Ace were sent to Wano at the same time, and they actually had this purpose.
And since these two people were sent out together, I'm afraid Whitebeard's intentions are already clear...
——
Ace looked at the once tiny Ayu, who was now full of energy, accompanied by a group of pirates and [Pluto Works] personnel, liberating various parts of Wano Country one by one.
Because the [Hundred Beasts Pirates] had essentially surrendered at this time, Ayu's actions were not hindered in any way.
Only a few samurai showed up, saying that the successor of the Kozuki clan was on the island at the moment, causing some chaos, but was eventually solved by [Witch] Sugar from [Pluto Works].
Ace has been told by Mr. Tonggu before that he will not harm the Kozuki clan, but since that clan gave up the country of Wano to the Heitan clan and Kaido, the country of Wano is no longer subordinate to that clan.
Ace could feel that he did not stop the determination of the new king. For the descendants of Ayu and Oden, this may be the best ending.
Marco stood behind Ace, with a look of relief on his face.
If it were the former Ace, he was worried that Ace would have a dispute with Mr. Silver Moon over this matter, and his stubbornness would plunge Wano into chaos again.
But now, after Ace has experienced the war on the top, he has grown up a lot, and he has begun to think more rationally.
Marco looked at the other side, where the Straw Hat boys were fussing with each other over some trivial matters. For the moment, he couldn't tell whether Ace's change was good or bad.
But for the Whitebeard Pirates, neither he nor Ace has the absolute power of his father, so the leader does not have the leeway to be willful.
Marco had already decided that he would continue to be the captain of the first team and assist Ace in becoming the new leader of the Whitebeard Pirates. He was the first child that his father found, and he had already regarded the pirates as his home.
Marco doesn't care if he is the captain, he even feels that he is freer if he is not the captain.
But he cares about whether Ace can protect this big family well.
But now, he got the answer he wanted, and he immediately spread his wings and turned into a phoenix and flew directly to the sea below.
For the sake of the war, he planned to get involved today.
"It's Marco the Phoenix!"
"The Whitebeard Pirates also appeared!"
At this moment, nearly a hundred naval warships have appeared in the sea area. Marco's appearance immediately caused a large-scale warning.
Marco ignored any long-range attacks and destroyed several battleships in an instant. When he was about to continue, a figure suddenly rose into the sky and punched him. The speed was so fast that Marco could not react in time.
boom!
Phoenix Marco was driven directly into the cliff below Wano Country.
Garp landed back on the warship and shouted loudly above
"I'm here, that little brat isn't coming out yet!"
