Whitebeard's Charisma

Katakuri, determined to stand up, trembled and gazed at Whitebeard fiercely, eyes ablaze with intense anger. He let out a resounding roar and exclaimed, "What a joke!"

As the son of Big Mom and the leader of the three Sweet Commanders, Katakuri made his position clear. It was inconceivable for him to be Whitebeard's son. Despite his desire to stand, his severe injuries prevented it. After struggling for a while, he couldn't bear it anymore, and his body collapsed heavily.

Thud! Smoke rose. Katakuri, having chosen to face death, had now lost consciousness.

"Guurarara~"

"What a stubborn kid!" Whitebeard laughed, grabbed Katakuri, and threw him to Marco on the Moby Dick. "Take care of his recovery."

"Yoyoi~" Marco nodded.

"Hahaha"

"From this day forward, Katakuri will be our brother." Ace couldn't contain his excitement. From their previous battle, Ace had gained firsthand knowledge of Katakuri's formidable strength. If Katakuri were to join the Whitebeard Pirates, their overall strength would greatly increase.

"Humph!" Crocodile snorted, lit a cigar, and blew out a smoke ring. He remarked, "Katakuri is the head of Big Mom's three Sweet Commanders, but if Whitebeard takes him in as a son, he won't escape Big Mom's wrath with her personality!"

"Hahahaha~"

"So what? We aren't afraid of Big Mom!" Jozu laughed.

"Yes!" The other commanders nodded. Since their victory in the Summit War of Marineford, they believed that the Whitebeard Pirates had surpassed the other three emperors, holding no fear towards the Big Mom Pirates.

"Humph!" Crocodile snorted coldly. However, he also understood that with the current prestige of the Whitebeard Pirates, there was truly no need to fear any force in the world.

"Right, Crocodile?" Ace suddenly thought of something and turned towards Crocodile. "You've been on this ship for a while now. How about joining the Whitebeard Pirates?"

"Join in?"

"What a joke!" Crocodile listened for a moment, then hurriedly refused.

"Hahahaha"

"What does it matter? You have nowhere else to go now, and deep down, don't you want to join?" Ace smiled.

"Humph!"

"What nonsense are you spouting? Old man Whitebeard and I have a grudge, so stop talking nonsense, you idiot!" Crocodile retorted sharply, his eyes flickering. After spending so many days on the ship, he did have the thought of joining the Whitebeard Pirates, but he couldn't understand how Ace could see his inner thoughts. Is it too obvious?

, the Fishman Island residents welcomed Whitebeard with joy and gratitude. The news of Katakuri's defeat had spread quickly, easing the fears of the islanders.

"Hahahaha~" The Division Commanders burst into laughter, realizing Crocodile's interest in joining the Whitebeard Pirates. They were eager to welcome such an expert into their ranks.

At that moment, a faint voice reached the forefront of the fleet. It was Jinbei, accompanied by guards from the Ryugu Palace. As they approached, Jozu explained to Jinbei that Katakuri, the one who had injured him, had been taken care of by Whitebeard, ensuring the safety of the Fishman Island.

Surprised by the news, Jinbei and the others from the Ryugu Palace expressed their gratitude. Katakuri, who had seemed invincible, was dealt with swiftly by Whitebeard. Neptune, the king of the Fishman Island, thanked Whitebeard for the protection and genuine friendship he extended to the Fishmen.

"Guurarara~ If you truly want to show your gratitude, take out all the fine wines you've been secretly hiding," Whitebeard humorously remarked.

Neptune readily agreed, understanding that such a small request was nothing compared to the repeated assistance Whitebeard provided to the Fishman Island. Neptune ordered the guards to prepare a banquet, expressing his willingness to entertain his old friends.

As the guards of the Ryugu Palace prepared for the banquet, Neptune organized the Whitebeard Pirates Fleets and led Whitebeard and his crew toward the Ryugu Palace. The joyous atmosphere spread across the island as residents, still recovering from the earlier battle with the Big Mom Pirates, saw Whitebeard and welcomed him with happiness and gratitude.

In contrast to the fear Whitebeard instilled in other parts of the world, the Fishman Island residents saw him as a true friend and protector, grateful for the peace and security he brought to their home.

The residents of Fishman Island regarded Whitebeard as their benefactor.

If it weren't for Whitebeard's intervention, Fishman Island would have become a lawless place, and the mermaids and fishmen would have been kidnapped by evil pirates, making slavery more common.

Every fishman and mermaid expressed deep gratitude towards Whitebeard.

"It's Whitebeard-sama."

"Did Whitebeard-sama defeat the members of the Big Mom Pirates?"

"Of course! Didn't you hear what Jinbei said? Whitebeard-sama is the strongest person in the world, and his bounty has reached 5.5 billion!"

The fishmen and mermaids began to talk among themselves. Upon catching sight of Whitebeard's figure, a heartfelt cheer erupted.

"Pops is quite popular," Ace remarked with a smile.

"Yeah," Marco nodded, observing the cheering fishmen with a hint of pride on his face. "Because the old man is their benefactor."

"As Fishman Island residents, we will always remember Oyaji's kindness in our hearts," Jinbei nodded in agreement, then spoke with a serious tone and expression.

As Marco mentioned earlier, Whitebeard is indeed The Fishman Island's benefactor. Without Whitebeard's intervention, The Fishman Island would have undoubtedly fallen into a state of chaos and vulnerability.

For this very reason, he holds great respect for Whitebeard. The commanders and fleet captains felt immense pride. They follow Whitebeard not only because of familial affection but also because of his charismatic leadership.

Although being a pirate, Whitebeard has never engaged in acts of burning, killing, or looting. Instead, they have been protecting the weak and navigating the seas with a sense of freedom.

In their hearts, their father was a symbol of justice, surpassing even the Marines at some point.

Also because of this, they wanted to stand by Whitebeard's side forever and pledge their unwavering loyalty until the end!
