189 Marine Decision!

"Shit, he got away" 

Marco said with a hint of disappointment.

Because he believed that Kizaru will definitely bring back the news of his Oyaji's resurrection back to Marines Headquarters.

This also presents a problem for them because Whitebeard has just been resurrected.

Some of their own forces also need to be reconsolidated, and if they face a strong attack from Marine Headquarters at this time, they might find themselves caught in a difficult situation.

Because those so-called new Four Emperors will definitely not spare them, especially Blackbeard.

After the previous news, Blackbeard will also receive immediate information about Whitebeard's resurrection, and he will likely take some action at that point.

"Guurarara, it's not a big deal. I don't hold any strong grudges against Kizaru. If news gets out, so be it. I'm not afraid of anyone knowing that I, Whitebeard, are still alive."

Whitebeard knew what Marco was worried about. He didn't care if he didn't really care much

In any case, his current strength had reached a remarkable level after the events of the previous world

So what's to be afraid of, Whitebeard doesn't feel the slightest pressure in his heart.

"You should eat, drink and enjoy the time. Don't worry about anything else. Because now I'm Here." 

Whitebeard said to everyone.

This statement also eased everyone's worries. With the old man by their side, they felt like they could handle anything that came their way!

.

On the other side, Kizaru rushed back to Marine Headquarters to report the situation to Akainu after being injured.

"What? It's really Whitebeard?" 

Akainu was shocked when he heard the confirmation from Kizaru.

"It's true. I was injured a little bit. He looks completely different from the state of the war. He doesn't look a bit old. He's not only full of energy but also incredibly powerful."

Kizaru quickly reported the situation to Akainu, leaving the Fleet Admiral surprised, prompting him to inform higher-ranking officials.

Is Whitebeard not only resurrected but also stronger than before? 

Could the legendary Four Emperors peak be making a return? How is this possible?

"Isn't someone impersonating him?" 

Akainu asked, his frustration evident as he sought further confirmation.

Due to the immense significance of this matter, Whitebeard's resurrection could potentially send shockwaves throughout the entire World.

And the whole balance could undergo significant changes once again, and Akainu couldn't fathom the idea of Whitebeard's return to life, as it was nothing short of incredible.

So he had to confirm it several times.

"I can guarantee that it must be Whitebeard. Not only does it have the same shape and appearance, but Tremor-Tremor Fruit's abilities can't be faked."

Kizaru had already answered with certainty, Akainu's eyes fell into thinking, nodded, and let him go to rest.

"After delivering the report, we'll hold an immediate Marine meeting, and all Vice Admirals and higher-ranking officers at the headquarters will be required to attend."

Akainu immediately issued an order to convene a meeting.

Due to the gravity of the matter, the meeting was convened the same day. In the capacious conference room, Marine's top-ranking officers occupied the main seats, with the Fleet Admiral in the central position.

There are former Fleet Admiral Marine, now Marine Chief Inspector, Sengoku of Buddha, Iron Fist Garp, Chief of Staff Tsuru, Fleet Admiral Akainu, Admiral Kizaru, Admiral Momousagi, and other high-ranking Marine officers.

The remaining Vice Admirals stood at the back of the meeting room.

"Akainu, what's so important that it required us all to be summoned?" 

Sengoku casually munched on snacks as he asked in a laid-back manner.

Although he still holds the title of Chief Inspector, it appears he's taken a more relaxed approach to his role.

When he noticed Akainu standing up immediately, he saw a very serious expression on his face.

"Everyone, after a recent investigation, we've discovered that a dozen of Whitebeard's captains are gathering in a certain area of the New World sea."

Akainu began with a warning because the news was incredibly shocking.

"Isn't it just a group of pirates gathering? Whitebeard's forces don't require Marine intervention, especially in their current state of trouble"

Marine Criminal Investigation Vice Admiral Tensei commented nonchalantly, feeling that this matter didn't warrant such a high-level meeting.

"You're too hasty, that's not the main issue," 

Kizaru reminded from the side.

"All right, why don't you go ahead and shock us with the news?" 

Vice Admiral Tensei asked again.

Akainu looked around at the gathered officials, who were all eagerly awaiting his announcement. After a brief pause, he opened his mouth.

"There... we've located Whitebeard, and he's still alive!"

As these words were spoken, the entire conference room fell into deep silence, with no sound except for the faint buzzing of the air conditioning. Even some of the Vice Admirals appeared stunned, as if they couldn't believe what they had just heard.

"Who?" 

Sengoku's face suddenly turned serious, and his hand holding the snack came to a halt.

"Whitebeard, he's still alive!" 

Akainu emphasized once more.

"Impossible, Whitebeard is obviously dead!" 

Garp, who had remained silent until then, suddenly slammed the table and shouted.

"He is dead, but the news we have now is that he is still alive and injured Kizaru" 

Akainu clarified.

Sengoku and the others turned their attention to Kizaru, who nodded slowly, saying, "Yes, Whitebeard has become stronger than before. I am no match for him at all."

Despite Akainu and Kizaru's confidence, the news was so astounding that Sengoku, Garp, and the others remained skeptical.

They couldn't believe it because they hadn't witnessed it with their own eyes.

"If Whitebeard is really not dead, I request a warship be sent to investigate. This time I will take a trip myself and I need to see it for myself."

Garp insisted, determined to go and confirm Whitebeard's status by himself, regardless of Whitebeard really alive or not

"Alright, you can go but I trust Kizaru's report, and I'll inform all Marine officers and the World Government about this news."

Akainu also expressed his attitude.

"You are the Fleet Admiral of the Marines now, and you have the authority to make this decision" 

Sengoku nodded in agreement.

"Whitebeard... How did he come back to life?" 

Vice Admiral Tensei was deeply shocked by the news.

"I don't know. Coming back from the dead, even the likes of Rocks and Roger back in the day would find it unbelievable. Let's wait for Garp to return and hear his thoughts on it" 

Sengoku also found it hard to believe, but based on Kizaru and Akainu's accounts, he was starting to believe it.

Impatient to confirm the news, Garp immediately departed from the Marine headquarters on a warship after the meeting.

To Whitebeard, Garp is considered an enemy, but similar to his relationship with Roger in the past, Garp also regards Whitebeard as an old friend.

"Whitebeard, are you really alive? How could that happen?"

Garp stood on the warship's deck, gazing at the boundless blue sea, filled with anticipation.

Meanwhile, it had been a while since Kizaru departed, and Whitebeard and his crew had already finished their celebration party.

So, Whitebeard and his crew were no longer present in the area they had been celebrating before.
