186 ‘Teach, wash your neck for me!”

"Who?" 

Marco had to respond to the Den-Den Mushi in the sky.

"Marco, it's me, Squard."

Squard's voice came from the Den-Den Mushi

"What's the matter? I still have something to deal with."

Marco said hurriedly, which made Squard realize that something was wrong.

"Did you encounter any problems?" 

Squard asked.

"Who's the enemy?"

"The two titanic captains of the Blackbeard pirates."

Upon hearing this, Squard was shocked. He quickly lifted his head and looked in Whitebeard's direction.

"Oyaji, Marco encountered Blackbeard's crew."

"What? Blackbeard?"

Whitebeard's eyes blazed with a fierce intensity. He had already killed Blackbeard once before

Unexpectedly, after arriving in this world, his crew was harassed by Blackbeard once more, which was simply intolerable.

"Give me the Den-Den Mushi, and I'll speak to Marco" 

Whitebeard requested as he reached for the Den-Den Mushi.

"Squard, if you don't mind, I'll focus on the battle. Those two alone aren't enough to defeat me."

Marco noticed the other side remained silent for a few seconds and was about to end the call.

Suddenly, a familiar voice came in.

"Marco, are you in trouble?"

Marco's heart trembled fiercely. The voice was Whitebeard, his Oyaji.

"You!!!" 

Marco was momentarily speechless, wondering if he had misheard or was experiencing hallucinations.

"Guurarara, can't you recognize your old man's voice?" 

Whitebeard's hearty laughter resounded.

"Oyaji, it's really you!"

"There's a chance!" 

While Marco rejoiced, both Burgess and Pizarro spotted his weaknesses.

At that moment, the two teamed up, with Pizarro firing a barrage of bullets and shells at Marco.

Marco was shot down, lowering his position. Then, Burgess leaped up, pulled Marco down, and they both crashed heavily to the ground.

"Uh, uh!"

Marco's pained voice quickly reached Whitebeard's side.

"Marco, what happened?" 

Whitebeard asked with a serious tone.

"Oyaji, I'm okay. This minor injury is nothing. I'll report back once I've dealt with them!"

Marco harnessed the power of the Phoenix fire, and the marks on his body slowly faded away, returning everything to its original state.

"That ability is quite troublesome" 

Burgess couldn't help but frown.

"Marco, who is your opponent?"

Whitebeard asked.

"Blackbeard's Pirates No. 1 and No. 4 Titanic Captains, Jesus Burgess and Avalo Pizarro."

Marco answered.

"Huh, those two clowns! Let me have a word with them" 

Whitebeard demanded.

"Okay, Pops" 

Marco smiled. He had anticipated this. He couldn't wait to see the expressions on Burgess and Pizarro's faces when they learned that Whitebeard was still alive.

"What's going on, Marco? Are you thinking of surrendering?" 

Burgess asked, noticing that Marco didn't take to the sky this time, which piqued his curiosity.

"With your abilities, it might be wise to join Captain Blackbeard. I'm sure the captain would appreciate you" 

Pizarro suggested.

"Huh, I've only had one captain my whole life!"

"Are you curious to find out?"

Marco's gaze sharpened, and he immediately handed over the Den-Den Mushi in his hand.

"Marco, what are you going to do?"

Burgess accepted the Den-Den Mushi but was still uncertain about Marco's intentions.

At this time, a deep voice came from the Den-Den Mushi.

"Jesus Burgess, Avallo Pizarro, pass my regards to Teach and let him wash his neck for me!"

An indescribable dread swept over Burgess and Pizarro.

The two exchanged glances and shared a sense of astonishment.

"Whitebeard? That's impossible. Whitebeard died in the Summit War. Who are you?!" 

Burgess exclaimed.

"Guurarara, can't you even recognize my voice? But don't worry, the next time we meet, I'll make sure fear is engraved deep into your heart" 

Whitebeard's voice was as intimidating as a demon, leaving Burgess and Pizarro feeling fearful and unsettled.

But at the same time, they were filled with doubts about whether this was truly Whitebeard or not.

While this presence momentarily scared them, they knew that such presence and pressure couldn't be replicated.

But a single voice wasn't enough to convince them, similar to how Squard had initially doubted the authenticity of Whitebeard.

"Stop trying to scare people. Whitebeard is long gone, and it's Blackbeard's era now!"

Burgess declared with a sense of calm, though his heart was somewhat uneasy.

Upon hearing that voice, he was convinced it was Whitebeard's, and Marco, observing their reactions, couldn't help but smile triumphantly.

"The old man's era isn't over yet, you should be worried about yourself. Blackbeard not only has no future, but he'll soon bring disaster to himself".

Marco's mocking tone surprised both of them. After all, the pinnacle of Whitebeard strength had left profound impressions on their hearts.

But at that moment, Burgess also uttered harsh words.

Despite their harsh words, both Burgess and Pizarro were now completely restless, like a turbulent sea with rough waves during a storm.

They no longer had any intention of fighting; they just wanted to inform Blackbeard about it as soon as possible.

Burgess handed back the Den-Den Mushi to Marco and said:

"Marco, I'll let you go for now. Sooner or later, Whitebeard's old forces will be eliminated!" 

"Both of you, I hope you can be as tough when you next encounter Pops, so I won't need to relay the message" Marco retorted.

"Captain Marco!"

After Burgess and Pizarro departed, the crew quickly gathered around.

At that moment, Marco was filled with excitement. He faced all the crew members, and a broad smile adorned his face, impossible to conceal.

"Everyone, the old man is still alive. Come with me to meet him!"

"What? Oyaji, he's alive?"

"Captain, what's happening?"

"Where is Pop now?"

Hearing this news, all the crew members were taken aback, and a buzz of conversation filled the air.

"Oyaji is with Squard and the rest. Let's hurry over. They've probably informed the other captains too"

Marco and his group set sail right away, filled with excitement and anticipation. They couldn't wait for the moment they would reunite with the old man.

They knew that only by seeing the old man could they truly believe it in their hearts.

Simultaneously, apart from Marco, the other captains of the Whitebeard pirates also received the notification and hurried to the location.

These people are in the same mood as Marco, and are all moving as quickly as possible.
