The Witcher: The Journey to Transcendence from Marvel.

Chapter 318 Before the War
Since Weiss proposed the deal of using Whitebeard's body in exchange for his treatment, there must be a way to solve the thorny problem of Whitebeard being in too poor a physical condition to undergo surgery.

Weiss calmly took out several potions from his pocket, handed them to Whitebeard, and said, "Drink it."

Whitebeard didn't hesitate at all. He stretched out his big hand, grabbed several groups of potions, and poured them all into his mouth in one breath.

As soon as Whitebeard took the potion, he immediately felt a warm air flow spreading throughout his body. The feeling made him couldn't help but let out a long breath of comfort.

The pain that had been pricking him all over his body began to gradually subside. He hadn't felt so relaxed and comfortable for several years.

After examining Whitebeard's body again, it was discovered that all indicators had reached the requirements for surgery.

This was a surprising turn of events, and Marco felt relieved a little.

Next, Luo served as the lead surgeon, with Marco assisting, and began this crucial operation.

Inside the operating room, the atmosphere was tense and solemn.

Law was completely focused on unleashing the power of the Operation Fruit, his gaze never slacking, each movement precise and precise, knowing full well that the success of this operation depended on great importance. Marco, on the other hand, also cooperated tacitly, helping to handle various emergencies.

In this way, a day and a night passed, and this difficult operation was finally completed.

Luo and Weiss slowly walked out of the operating room.

Weiss looked quite relaxed.

But Luo was different, he was almost exhausted.

The high-intensity surgery required him to be unable to concentrate for even a second, and he had to use the power of the surgery fruit continuously, which consumed too much of his physical strength.

If he hadn't had a significant improvement in his physical fitness after training with Cyrus, he probably wouldn't have been able to endure the operation.

At this moment, what Luo wanted to do most was to find a place to have a good sleep. He was really too tired.

"How about it?"

The operating room was already surrounded by crew members of the Whitebeard Pirates. They all looked anxious and expectant. When they saw Law and Weiss come out, they couldn't wait to ask.

"The operation was successful. Marco is in there taking care of him." Luo replied weakly.

"That's great." When everyone heard the news, they cheered and were so excited that they wanted to rush into the operating room to see Whitebeard immediately.

However, just as they were about to take action, Luo stopped them.

Luo said weakly: "Whitebeard is sleeping soundly now, it's best not to disturb him."

The crew members all knew that Whitebeard hadn't had a good night's sleep for a long time, and now he could finally get a good rest.

So the crew members hurriedly arranged rooms for Luo and Weiss and let them rest, and then waited quietly outside the operating room, continuing to watch over Whitebeard.

I don’t know how long I slept, but Luo was awakened by the noisy sounds coming from outside.

He rubbed his eyes drowsily and listened carefully. It turned out to be the sound of a party.

When he arrived on deck, he saw a very lively scene.

The Whitebeard Pirates are holding a grand banquet here, and not only the Whitebeard Pirates, but all 43 pirate groups under their command are present.

The sea was filled with densely packed pirate ships, and Whitebeard and Weiss were sitting in the middle, like the moon surrounded by stars.

The two seemed to be talking about something, with faint smiles on their faces, and the atmosphere seemed very harmonious.

"Are you willing to give up these children?" Weiss looked at the lively banquet scene in front of him and turned to ask Whitebeard.

"Gulala..." Whitebeard laughed heartily, his trademark laugh, and then said with an open-minded look: "The Navy will not let go of the remnants of my era."
His eyes slowly swept over the crew members who were partying, with a look of both kindness and helplessness.

In this ocean, the former Pirate King Roger has passed away, and the Golden Lion and the Red Earl have gradually disappeared. Now he is the only one still active in this vast ocean. Naturally, he has become a thorn in the eyes of the navy, and the navy has always wanted to find an opportunity to get rid of him.

Whitebeard was very pleased with his children. After so many years of experience, they were now able to stand on their own.

So, now he just wants to enjoy these last happy moments with his children. As for what the future will be like, he has already let it go.

This grand banquet lasted for a long time. Everyone ate, drank, laughed and danced to their heart's content, enjoying this rare moment of reunion and joy.

However, in the middle of the party, Weiss and Luo quietly left.

They knew in their hearts that the hustle and bustle and the emotional ties here ultimately belonged to the Whitebeard Pirates, not to them.

In the past few days, the news that the Navy will publicly execute the captain of the Whitebeard Pirates' Second Division spread like wildfire and quickly reached every corner of the world.

Everyone knows that Whitebeard has always cherished his companions the most. In his pirate group, the friendship between companions is extremely deep, like family.

Now the Navy is going to publicly execute an important member of the Whitebeard Pirates. This is undoubtedly a blatant provocation. The Whitebeard Pirates will certainly not sit idly by, so there will definitely be a thrilling battle between the Navy Headquarters and the Whitebeard Pirates.

People have different opinions about this big event that is about to happen.

Some people seemed particularly excited after hearing the news. They either hated pirates deeply and hoped that the navy would take this opportunity to severely strike down the pirate forces and bring more peace to the sea;
Or maybe they simply enjoy watching such intense conflict scenes and want to witness a war that will shock the world.

Others looked uneasy, as they knew that once this war broke out, the impact would not be limited to the Navy and the Whitebeard Pirates.

The smoke of war will spread and affect the entire world. At that time, the balance of power among all parties may be broken, and no one knows what will happen next.

"What's going on in this world? Big Mom's pirates just fell, and now the navy is going to attack the Whitebeard Pirates."

Some people couldn't help but express such emotion, as if they felt deeply powerless and confused in the face of this continuous turbulent situation.

"The more pirates die, the better." Some people hold such extreme ideas. In their eyes, pirates are the culprits who disrupt world peace. Only when the number of pirates continues to decrease, the world will become a better place.

However, no matter how different everyone's opinions are, there is one thing they all understand clearly, that is, once the war between the Navy and the Whitebeard Pirates breaks out, the world will undergo earth-shaking changes.

The pattern of power among various parties may be reshuffled, and the seemingly stable situation will no longer exist.

The Navy Headquarters is actively preparing for the upcoming war.

They recruited a total of 10 naval elites from various branches. These elites have been screened and rigorously trained, and each of them possesses impressive strength.

The three generals all returned to their headquarters to take charge.

As the navy's top combat forces, these three will play a crucial role in this war.

The entire Marine Headquarters was united in their determination to win this battle, as if they had already seen the Whitebeard Pirates' defeat under their attack, and as if they had foreseen that after this war, the prestige of the Navy would reach a new peak on this ocean.
