Dumbfounded Red-hair

"Guurarara~" 

"Is the Red-haired boy here? He really came in time." 

Whitebeard chuckled and turned his gaze towards Jozu nearby: "Let the helmsman turn the rudder and move closer to the Red Force." 

"Yes!" 

Jozu quickly stepped back 

Soon, the two ships came to a halt, maintaining a distance of ten meters between them. 

"Father, allow me to greet them." 

Marco said. 

The relationship between the Red Hair Pirates and the Whitebeard Pirates is unique. 

They are both an enemy and a friend! 

They are enemies because Whitebeard and Red-hair are both Four Emperors, and the Four Emperors have always been in conflict on these seas. 

They are friends because Red-hair came to share a drink on the Moby Dick. 

Over time, the two crews developed a bond and a good relationship. 

But at this particular moment, he didn't want his father to take any risks without understanding the intentions of the Red Hair Pirates. 

"Go!" 

Whitebeard nodded. 

Marco obeyed the order and rushed away. 

Marco swiftly reached the bow and leaped onto the Red Force. 

At that moment, the Red-haired Pirates were already awaiting his arrival. 

Seeing Marco, with bandages covering his body yet still wearing a serious expression, Shanks heart swelled with emotions. 

After repelling Kaido, he came as quickly as possible. 

He hoped to rescue Whitebeard and put an end to the ongoing war. 

To their surprise, halfway to their destination, they stumbled upon the heavily damaged Whitebeard fleet. 

At that moment, he had a bad feeling. 

Now he saw Marco, wounded and wearing a serious expression. 

Suddenly, he realized he was a step too late, and Whitebeard had already perished in Marineford. 

"It seems we are late!" 

Benn Beckman sighed, exhaling a puff of smoke from his cigarette, his voice filled with a tinge of disappointment. 

"Whitebeard may have died, but his fleet managed to escape successfully, so it's not a total loss." 

Yasopp let out a sigh beside him. 

"Huh?" 

Marco was left dumbfounded, his head filled with question marks, as he wondered why the Red-hair Pirates had arrived. 

However, there are sadness and overwhelming sorrow in the eyes of Shanks 

He let out a sigh in his heart and approached Marco. 

"We're sorry!" 

"We got held up by Kaido, so we arrived a bit late!" 

"But Marco, you need to stay strong!" 

"Even though Whitebeard is gone, you're still here. As the First Commander and the next captain, it's important for you to stay strong and handle what lies ahead!"

The Red-hair spoke earnestly, giving Marco a reassuring pat on the shoulder: "If you need anything, it's our duty as the Red-hair Pirates to help you!"

"Yes!" 

"We've been friends with the Whitebeard Pirates for a long time. Whatever comes next, we'll do our best to help you!" 

Vice Captain Benn Beckman said seriously. 

"What are you talking about!" 

Marco mouth twitched and raised his hands in a helpless gesture: "Father is fine, and he's on the Moby Dick!" 

"Really? You will cheer up…" 

Shanks said to Marco 

But before he could finish his sentence, he paused. 

Then he gazed at Marco, his expression filled with surprise. 

Benn Beckman, Yasopp, and the others were also stunned, their eyes fixed on Marco in disbelief. 

What did they hear? 

Is Whitebeard, who went to the Marine Headquarters to rescue people, still alive? 

Is this... just a joke? 

A trace of doubt appeared on his face, causing Shanks to ask with a hint of disbelief: 

"Marco, you mean…" 

It's no wonder he thinks that way, considering Whitebeard is dead. 

As soon as he arrived, he saw that Whitebeard's fleet suffered a lot of damage, indicating a significant battle had taken place. 

Secondly, Marco made that expression as soon as he stepped onto the ship. 

Thirdly, there is also the most important point. 

That's where Whitebeard launched his attack, at Marineford! 

Marines headquarters! 

In order to deal with Whitebeard, Marines gathered a hundred thousand officers and enlisted the Seven Warlords of the Sea. 

Such a force is formidable, even for a Four Emperors. 

Even if two groups of Four Emperors allied, victory is not guaranteed. 

So, just like him, nobody in the world had any hope that Whitebeard could return alive from Marineford. 

It is also for this reason... 

Kaido and Big Mom fight for Whitebeard's territory. 

"Yes, father is still alive!" 

Marco nodded proudly: "Father is the strongest man in the world. How could he die in Marineford? Those Marines are no match for him!" 

The words echoed in the air... 

Shanks was left speechless! 

Benn Beckman was stunned! 

Yasopp and the rest of the crew stood in disbelief! 

Whitebeard, presumed to be dead after the battle at Marineford, had miraculously survived and successfully escaped. 

Doubt, shock, and joy filled the air! 

A mix of emotions overwhelmed them, leaving them speechless. 

It took Shanks a while to recover from the shock. 

But instead of feeling happy, he let out a sigh. 

"So Ace is dead…" 

In his opinion, if Whitebeard was alive and managed to escape, it meant that they had failed to save Ace. 

Since they failed to save Ace, it meant that Ace had already been executed. 

"Shanks, what are you talking about!" 

"Not only is Father alright, but we also managed to rescue Ace. In this war, our Whitebeard Pirates emerged victorious!" 

Marco proudly said. 

The words hung in the air, and silence engulfed the surroundings. 

Even Shanks, being one of the Four Emperors and well-informed, couldn't find the words to express his astonishment at what he had just heard. 

Benn Beckman and Yasopp, renowned figures in the New World. 

Their mouths dropped open one by one, their faces filled with astonishment and disbelief. 

Is Whitebeard still alive? 

Not only was he alive, but he also managed to rescue Ace from the clutches of 100,000 Marine soldiers, successfully escaped, and emerged victorious from the war? 

This this..... 

Is this some kind of joke? 

"Marco, is what you're saying true?" 

Shanks couldn't help but swallow, his voice trembling. 

"Of course!" 

"The reason I'm here is because the old man told me to come!" 

Marco laughed. 

"…" 

The Red-hair Pirates fell into silence. 

They exchanged glances, their eyes reflecting mutual astonishment. 

Because...… 

Whitebeard really did it! 

Ace, who was on the brink of execution from the hands of 100,000 Marines and the Seven Warlords of the Sea, was miraculously rescued. 

They accomplished this extraordinary feat!
