40 40 Whitebeard Pirates Retreat
"You can't!"
Marco face underwent a drastic change, his eyes filled with anxiety: "Pops, you and Ace go ahead. I'll hold them off here!"
"Guurarara~"
"In what world does it make sense for the son to stay behind for adventure while the father goes first?"
Whitebeard chuckled and raised his Naginata, pointing it towards the Admiral as he spoke: "And rest assured, it's far too early for these three boys to challenge me!"
"Pops"
Marco gritted his teeth, his body remaining still.
"Father, no matter what you say, we won't leave without you. We must go together!"
Ace said.
Perhaps what Whitebeard said was correct.
But in this world, it's unheard of for a son to go first and let the father take risks!
So, regardless of the circumstances, he refuses to leave.
"Do you want to disobey the captain's order?"
Whitebeard abruptly turned his head, his eyes filled with utmost seriousness, and shouted: "Go…silly kids!"
"Pops!!!"
Marco kept shaking.
However, in the end, he grabbed Ace and Luffy, swiftly turned, and rushed towards the bay.
"Marco, what are you doing, let me go!"
Ace struggled desperately.
"This is Pops' order, and by staying here, we won't be helping Pops. It will only hinder him!"
A look of pain flashed in Marco eyes.
He hates himself!
If he were stronger and capable of defeating the Marine Admirals, then the old man wouldn't have to bear this kind of pressure alone.
But there is no medicine regret in this world.
All he can do now is obey his father's orders, leave with Ace, and avoid any distractions.
With great speed, the three swiftly made their way back to the bay.
Despite encountering Marines along the way, the Marine officers ignored the presence of the three individuals.
Because Sengoku has given a clear order!
All besieged Whitebeard!
As he watched the trio depart, Whitebeard raised his fist to the side, forcefully struck the air, and burst into a hearty laughter.
"Guurarara~"
"My sons, get out of here. I'll be alright, and our journey will never come to an end today!"
BOOM!
There was a loud noise.
A tremendous shockwave erupted, sweeping through the entirety of Marineford.
The island trembled, as if it could sink at any moment.
With a resounding crack, a massive fissure appeared, splitting the entire island into two halves.
On one side stood the evacuated Whitebeard Pirate crew, occupying half of the remaining land.
The other half is all remaining Marine soldiers.
And… Whitebeard!
"Father!"
"Damn it, does Pops intend to stay alone, blocking the Marines and buying us time to escape?"
"No way, we can't abandon the old man and escape on our own!"
The crew of the Whitebeard Pirates snap up.
They realized that the evacuation plan mentioned by Whitebeard was solely for their own escape, excluding Whitebeard himself.
"Everyone, counterattack and return to support Pops!"
The seventh division commander Rakuyo shouted.
"Yes!"
"We can't leave the old man behind and escape on our own!"
"What a joke! If we let our father stay alone, then what right do we have to be called his sons?"
A crowd of crew responded.
"Don't act impulsively!"
Marco said and suppressed everyone's voices: "This is our Pops order, and it's also the opportunity he has fought so hard for. Let's continue with the evacuation!"
"And… we must believe in Father!"
"Pops is the strongest person in the world, and he will never be defeated here!"
The words hung in the air and the surroundings fell silent.
All the crew looked at Whitebeard, who stood alone, facing the so many Marines, and a solemn silence filled the air.
Yes!
This is the long-awaited opportunity the old man has achieved.
If they were to go back, not only would they be of little assistance, but they would also pose a burden to their father.
For a moment, everyone was caught in a state of indecision, unsure of what to do.
"Don't hesitate, everyone, retreat!"
In the midst of the silence, Vista shouted.
Realizing that it was not the time to hesitate, as the opportunity could slip away, they knew they had to act swiftly or risk being unable to leave.
Upon hearing this, the crew, though reluctant, also resolved themselves to follow through.
The crew member continued to retreat, boarding the ship.
at the same time.
On the opposite side of the island, Bullet punched Sengoku aside and came to Whitebeard's side.
"Why?"
"Are you really going to stay here alone and sacrifice yourself for the sake of your sons?"
Bullet fixed his gaze on Whitebeard, his voice filled with anger.
Roger did the same thing too!
So does Whitebeard!
He willingly embraced the idea of sacrificing himself!
Even though he possessed the greatest strength in the world, he willingly set aside his own adventures for the sake of those young lads!
For him, this is a weak behavior
This act will only diminish his own strength, making him no longer as powerful as he once was!
"Guurarara~"
"Bullet, leave quickly, this island is about to sink!"
Whitebeard did not answer directly, but smiled confidently:"And... my journey isn't finished yet. I won't die here!"
"!!!"
Bullet trembled upon hearing those words, and the anger on his face transformed into astonishment.
Because...….
How familiar is this sentence!
When he joined the Roger Pirates, he faced numerous perils, some of which had the potential to overthrow the entire crew.
But every time.
Roger would laugh indifferently.
And tell every crew member that their adventure is not over yet and they will never die because of it!
at this moment...…
He saw Roger figure on Whitebeard!
"Yeah, you're not gonna die!"
Bullet took a deep look at Whitebeard before turning around and left: "You and Roger are the true kings of this sea!"
"How could such a king die in the hands of cowardly Marine!
After speaking, he jumped up, rushed through the crack, and reached the other side.
at this time.
On the small island of Marineford, Whitebeard is the only one left!
And what Whitebeard will face is…
Countless elite Marines, many Vice Admiral, Three Admirals, Fleet Admiral Sengoku!
And Marine hero… Monkey D Garp!
