"I could see that." Xyrus nodded, he could also feel that Whitebeard is now much more stronger than he was back when he first met him.
"You also received a power right? What was it again? Shadow Control?" Xyrus asked.
"Yeah, though I haven't really trained it that much." Whitebeard said as he lifted his hand and every shadow on the ship gathered in front of him, forming a second Whitebeard but all black.
"It's a useful skill." Xyrus nodded.
"But it's just a shadow, it's not as strong as me. It's just like an extension of my hand." Whitebeard explained.
"Pops! The others has arrived!" Marco ran to them and said as he pointed at the distance.
Xyrus turned to look at where Marco pointed and saw various ships with different sizes and appearances.
"Get ready!" Whitebeard stood up, showing his bulging muscles and permanent scars on his body.
Senzu Bean could only heal injuries and illnesses but that doesn't mean it could remove scars and reduce age.
Which is why there are still scars on his body and some wrinkles on his face.
Soon, the ship started sailing once more but this time, there were more ships following them.
"So, this is a world of pirates and marines?" Xyrus said to himself, after all, he sensed that the geography of the whole world consists of 80% of water and 20% of land.
What fascinates him even more was when he used the time stone to take a peek at the past, he learned many interesting things, like the Kingdom of D, how Devil Fruits were made and many more.
It seems that this world contains so many mysterious but interesting things that would make a person who yearns for freedom and adventure, orgasm.
For two whole days, Xyrus stayed on the ship and learned many things from the pirates.
There are exactly 3 Main Forces on the sea in this world. These are the Marines, Pirates and the infamous Revolutionary Army, whose goal is to overthrow the Ruling Goverment.
Before going to Marineford, all the ships, including the ship where Xyrus stood which is called Moby Dick, were coated with something that allowed them to sink underwater without literally sinking.
Thanks to coating, a bubble wrapped vast fleet of ships and sinked inside the water.
Xyrus was amazed by this.
After another long journey, the day of the execution was finally about to start, and they were already close to Marineford.
Finally, they could finally see the so called Gates of Justice, but since they're underwater, they could only see it from beneath.
Meanwhile, the various ships that followed them here slowly emerges from the water and stopped in front of the huge Marineford.
"It's time." Whitebeard said seriously as the Moby Dick followed and finally emerges from the water, surprising the Marines followed by two other ships.
"I can't believe we let them get this close." The Fleet Admiral, Sengoku worriedly said, they didn't expect the way of Whitebeard's entrance.
"Those are the 14 Commanders of the Whitebeard Pirates." A marine gulped in fear and said.
Soon enough, Whitebeard slowly entered outside and everyone finally saw him.
"W-what?!" Sengoku and everyone was shocked by what they saw.
They saw Whitebeard with his golden hair fluttering against the wind and he also seemed more healthy than usual.
"Pops..." Even Ace was wasn't excluded, after all, he already left before Whitebeard gained the Dimensional Group Chat.
"It's been a while, Sengoku." Whitebeard greeted first.
While Sengoku squinted his eyes, trying to see if what he is seeing is just an illusion.
Although he was a bit relieved when he saw the wrinkles on his face which means that Whitebeard didn't get younger, but that doesn't mean Whitebeard is still the same.
Although he could guess that Whitebeard is still probably far from his prime, but there's no doubt that Whitebeard must be more stronger than his previous state.
"How did he do it? Is it a Devil Fruit?" Sengoku muttered as he tried to guess how and who healed Whitebeard and why didn't he know about it.
"You better tell me, that my son is alright!" With a glare from Whitebeard, all weak willed Marines almost fainted while the slightly stronger ones just felt a little bit more pressured.
"Who's that guy beside him?" The Great Staff Officer, Tsuru a.k.a Crane, noticed the man in an unfamiliar orange robes standing beside Whitebeard.
"Since he dares to stand beside him, then his strength is possibly no less than Whitebeard." Sengoku also noticed the man and could feel the dangerous aura emanating from him, so he grimly observed.
Crane also nodded at his words, there's no way Whitebeard or his sons would let someone weak, stand beside Whitebeard.
"Hmm..." Garp squinted his eyes at the man beside Whitebeard and continued picking on his nose.
Meanwhile, Xyrus, feeling all the eyes on him, smiled calmly and waved his hand.
"Who is he? I don't recall knowing him." A marine officer said.
"I have no idea, but he must be strong to stand on the same ground as Whitebeard." A Marine Vice Admiral nodded and said.
"Gurararararara. Wait for me, Ace." Whitebeard laughed and said.
Ace's eyes widened and he closed his eyes before opening them and yelled.
"Pops!"
Like a signal, Whitebeard stabbed his weapon on the ground and opened his arms wide before clenching them below his chest.
Soon, he smashed both of his fist on his sides, and the space itself cracked.
Soon, two huge waves of sea beside Marineford rose up high in the air and what's even more shocking is that the huge waves is so big that it only needs one huge wave to flatten Marineford.
Whitebeard smiled at this and was excited to show the world on what you will get if you mess with him, Whitebeard!
Luckily, the waves soon dispersed, this is just a show of power to instill fear to the Marines.
"Why? I ignored your advice and took off! Why didn't you just give up on me! Pops!" Ace can't help but be emotionally overwhelmed as he tried to break free from the chains holding him.
"I'm the one who caused all this!"
"No. I'm the one who told you to go....." Whitebeard said in a sad face before taking a deep breath and continued.
"Son."
"I'm the one who told him to go right? Marco." Whitebeard asked his 1st Commander.
"Yeah. That's what I heard. I'm sorry that we put you through so much, Ace."
"Everyone in this world knows what will happen to someone who messes with our crewmate."
"We won't let anybody hurt you, Ace!" Marco yelled.
"Sigh, I've been standing here for 5 minutes, can we start this already?" Finally, the mysterious man beside Whitebeard spoke.
Whitebeard nodded, he's also tired of talking to these Marines, he wanted to save his son already.
"You Marines, will know soon why you shouldn't mess with Whitebeard!"
