48 Reunion

"It feels unreal."

Yasopp murmured.

When he heard that Whitebeard intended to rescue Ace.

Most people's initial reaction is not about Whitebeard's bravery.

The immediate thought that struck them was that Whitebeard was... dead!

Since Marineford is the headquarters of the Marines, they had summoned 100,000 Marine officers this time.

No matter how strong Whitebeard is, it seemed unlikely that he would succeed.

But in this seemingly impossible situation.

Whitebeard... emerged victorious!

An incredible achievement that defied all expectations!

"Yes!"

Others nodded.

"Huh~"

Shanks was astonished, and said with a hint of surprise: "I can't believe how intense this battle has been. I was hoping I could intervene and bring it to a halt, but it seems I won't get that opportunity."

"Since Whitebeard is still alive, take me to him!"

Marco nodded in agreement.

They quickly jumped to the bow of the Moby Dick.

Shanks caught sight of the towering figure sitting at the center of the colossal ship, emanating an overwhelming aura.

"Whitebeard!"

Although he knew that Whitebeard was alive, seeing it with his own eyes still shocked him.

"Guurarara~"

"Red-Hair boy, I heard you had a fight with Kaido?"

Upon seeing Shanks approach, Whitebeard didn't rise from his seat but burst into hearty laughter.

"It's just a little conflict."

"After Kaido saw me, he didn't do anything!"

Shanks leaped down and approached Whitebeard, gazing up at him.

But as soon as he looked at Whitebeard, he was taken aback by what he saw.

Because the infusion bottle that used to hang on Whitebeard's body was missing.

A powerful Haki emanated from his body, filling the air with a sense of oppression.

The sheer power of his Haki left him astonished.

"Such a strong haki, like a new lion king in the grassland!"

"You…recovered?!"

Surprise flickered in Shanks' eyes as he couldn't help but ask.

"Guurarara~"

"I thought you'd be curious about Marineford, but I didn't expect you to be interested in such trivial matters."

Whitebeard laughed.

"Huh~"

Shanks heard this and let out a deep breath.

Although Whitebeard didn't give a direct answer, Shanks could sense the outcome from his tone.

That meant Whitebeard had truly recovered.

And he was very likely to return to his peak state.

Otherwise, given Whitebeard's age in his seventies, it would have been impossible to rescue Ace from Marineford.

Wanting to understand this, a serious expression suddenly crossed his face.

Now Whitebeard is back at his peak.

And achieved such an incredible feat in this war.

Once the news spreads, the world will be shaken, and the New World will undergo a significant transformation.

As one of the Four Emperors, he needs to make preparations in advance.

"Shanks!!!"

At that moment, a cry of surprise rang out.

Shanks instinctively turned his head and was greeted by a familiar face.

"Buggy, why are you here?"

Shanks' face lit up with joy.

"Hush!"

Buggy rushed over, covering Shanks' mouth, and secretly pointed in a direction.

"Um?"

Shanks followed his finger, his eyes filled with astonishment.

Former Shichibukai Knight of the Sea Jinbei, Former Shichibukai Sand Crocodile, Revolutionary Army Emporio Ivankov, Inazuma, Crescent Moon Hunter Catarina Devon, Colossal Battleship Sanjuan Wolf, Heavy Drinker Vasco Shot, and Corrupt King Avalo Pizarro!

It is rumored that people who were run out from Impel down were all on the Whitebeard ship.

"Was this one of the reasons Whitebeard won?"

Shanks whispered.

"Who told you to see them!"

Buggy is annoyed with Shanks.

"Huh?"

Shanks was puzzled.

Then he spotted two more figures.

World Destroyer Byrnndi World, and Red Count Patrick Redfield!

After seeing the two, Shanks expression turned to shock once more.

Unexpectedly, such an old monster was also on the Whitebeard ship.

"Haaahh!!!"

Buggy seemed to understand Shanks thoughts, and he suddenly grabbed his head, desiring to punch Shanks.

The people he wanted Shanks to see were not among them.

"What's wrong with you, Buggy?"

Shanks face was puzzled.

But just as those words were spoken, a deep voice resounded in his ears.

"Shanks kid!"

Shanks listened briefly and recognized the voice as extremely familiar.

As he turned his head slightly, his body trembled intensely upon seeing the source of the sound.

"Bul… Mr. Bullet?!"

Shanks was dumbfounded.

Who did he see?

Douglas Bullet!

The former crew member of Roger Pirates!

Back when he was a trainee crew member, Bullet was the one who trained their new recruits!

As he recalled Bullet's training on himself, his heart felt a sudden jolt.

"The little kid who trained on the ship turned out to be one of the Four Emperors of the New World."

"This world is truly full of surprises!"

Bullet opened his eyes, briefly glanced at Shanks, and then closed them once more.

Shanks' ability to accomplish such feats truly surprised him.

but

That's it!

Because he simply wasn't interested in Shanks.

The reason he remained with the Whitebeard Pirates was to fulfill his original objective: to defeat Whitebeard and earn the title of the worlds strongest man!

"By the way, you were all part of Roger's crew, and you've known each other for a long time."

Marco, on the other hand, wore a wide smile: "But from now on, Bullet will be a crew member of our Whitebeard Pirates."

He heard.

Bullet has challenge Whitebeard

And he is prepared to pay any price if he loses.

Having a deep understanding of his father, he knew that Bullet was likely to become his comrade.

"Oh ohohh~"

Shanks snapped out of his astonishment and regained consciousness.

As soon as Marco finished responding, his eyes widened, and he nearly choked on his saliva in disbelief.

What?

What did Marco just say?

Mr. Bullet is joining the Whitebeard's ship?

Doesn't this mean that Bullet will become Whitebeard's son?

Thinking of this, Shanks head felt dizzy, and he cast a skeptical glance at Buggy, wondering if he was in a dream.
