One Piece: Inheriting the Shendu Template, I Summon Demons

Marco said emphatically, and Joz echoed him... as did the other crew members.

All eyes turned to the old man.

Those who become members of the Whitebeard Pirates all value their families more than their own lives. Everyone is united in supporting Whitebeard's mission to rescue Ace, but it is essential that everyone work together.

Whitebeard felt the intense gazes of the crowd and let out a heavy sigh.

at this time.

Suddenly, waves rose on the calm sea as pirate ships, braving the wind and waves and breaking through the fog, headed towards the Moby Dick.

With sails billowing and battle cries shaking the heavens, every ship was teeming with pirates, their eyes gleaming with a mixture of fighting spirit and rage, their imposing presence overwhelming.

"They're affiliated pirate crews!"

"They're coming too!"

"Epoita, Andrei, Airuvan..."

blah-

The ship approached the Moby Dick and slowly came to a stop.

The captains of the affiliated pirate crews looked intently at the towering Whitebeard. Upon learning of Ace's capture, they had voluntarily abandoned everything to come and support their old man.

The white-bearded man's eyes swept over the captains and the vast sea of ​​crew members. Suddenly, he burst into laughter.

"Gurala la la la!"

"My dear sons!"

"Have you really thought this through?!"

......

"Dad! Let's take down the Marine Headquarters and rescue Ace!"

"Take down the Marine Headquarters and rescue Ace!"

"Take down the Marine Headquarters and rescue Ace!"

"..."

The crew members raised their weapons and shouted loudly, creating a deafening roar.

Boom!

At this moment, a sound came from the sky, and a powerful aura swept across the entire area. The crowd, who had been speaking loudly, felt an invisible pressure slowly approaching.

Oh!

In the quiet environment, the sound of seawater breaking apart could be heard.

Everyone looked in the direction of the sound and saw a man wearing a black robe with a white collar, a rapier at his waist, and a huge wine jug that was completely disproportionate to his body, standing on a small boat.

The sails billowed as it passed between the massive ships.

Although his ships were no match for theirs, none of those present dared to underestimate the man.

Because his status on the sea was comparable to his father's.

"Red-haired Shanks!"

Everyone became alert, their eyes fixed on Shanks, their arms resting on their weapons.

bother you for something.

Coming here at this critical juncture, there's probably something bad going on.

"take it easy!

"I'm not here to cause trouble!" Shanks leaned the small boat to the side, lightly touched the ground with his toes, and leaped toward the Moby Dick.

He glanced at the crew members present and sighed inwardly. So many people had gathered together, it was definitely because of the Navy Headquarters, but he didn't want to give up so easily and still wanted to give it a try.

"Newgate!"

"How about trying this wine?"

Shanks' footsteps echoed on the deck, his large flask trailing behind him.

Whitebeard was a heavy drinker, so he brought his treasured wines for this conversation, rare finds even after traveling the world.

"Goo la la la!"

"Bring me a bowl!"

Whitebeard sat down with a wave of his hand. Marco's expression hardened. His father's current condition meant he couldn't drink alcohol, but knowing the special circumstances, he shook his head and left, bringing a huge bowl and placing it in front of the two of them.

Anyone who brings alcohol is a guest. Whitebeard wasn't in a hurry to ask why Shanks was coming at this time; he'd rather have a drink first.

Gulu gulu!

Shanks raised the jug and poured the liquor into the bowl. Instantly, the aroma filled the entire ship.

.........

Chapter 140 Negotiations Fail! A New Era Begins!

"Goo la la la!"

"Looks pretty good!" Whitebeard's eyes lit up as he commented.

“This is the wine from my hometown, brewed for many years!” Shanks narrowed his eyes as he looked at Whitebeard.

"Try it!"

Upon hearing this, the white-bearded man's lips curled up slightly. He said nothing, picked up the wine bowl, and gulped down a few mouthfuls.

"It's good wine!"

After giving a word of praise, the white-bearded man put the bowl back in its place.

The strong liquor went down my throat.

Many things came to mind.

Many people and many things come to mind at this moment.

Rocks, Roger, Shiki, Garp... these familiar faces include those who fought alongside him and those who were always his enemies.

One by one, figures flashed by, a bygone era that can never be returned to...

"Red-haired brat, you're not bad now! A former apprentice on Roger's Pirates can now live up to the title of one of the Four Emperors!"

"Roger would surely be pleased if he could see this!"

The loneliness quickly passed.

Whitebeard said with some excitement.

"Grrrrrr!"

He picked up the wine jug again and took a few big gulps. The wine jug, which was taller than a person, was only of normal size.

"I'm quite curious, how exactly did you break your arm?"

"With your strength, who could possibly push you to this point!" Whitebeard narrowed his eyes, looking at Shanks's light, fluttering sleeve, a smile appearing on his lips.

"Well!" The face of a boy from the East China Sea flashed into Shanks' mind.

"I've cornered him in this new era!"

After saying this, a hint of melancholy appeared on the red-haired man's face. He had previously held that fearless young man in high regard, but now, everything had changed.

It wasn't that Straw Hat Boy changed, but rather that the situation on the sea changed because an even more terrifying person appeared...

"Compared to this!"

"What hurts me even more is this!" The red-haired man raised the three scars on his left eye, which were extremely conspicuous. They were the scars left by Blackbeard.

"So?" Whitebeard still squinted.

Blackbeard is no longer the captain, nor is he his son; he is merely a traitor.

"Blackbeard is ambitious!"

"Ace's decision to go after Blackbeard was a mistake from the start!"

“Newgate, do you want to keep making mistakes?” the redhead said.

"Goo la la la!"

"Shanks, isn't this the real reason you came here?"

"You want me to watch Ace be executed?" Whitebeard found it ridiculous, his whole body trembling uncontrollably. Ace was his son; how could a father watch his son die?

"I know Ace!"

"He's so young to be able to join your pirate crew and even serve as the second division commander. That's very important to you!" Shanks' eyes slowly sharpened as he stared directly at Whitebeard.

"But in your current condition, having gone through countless battles and suffering from numerous illnesses, what kind of trouble can you possibly cause?"

"The navy is far more powerful than you imagine. This deployment of forces by the Navy Headquarters is far from simple! A head-on confrontation will only result in defeat!"

"Even if we sacrifice the entire Royal Fleet, we still won't achieve our goal!"

"Give me some face!"

"Don't go to Marineford!"

"This is my only request!"

As he finished speaking, Shanks' voice unconsciously lowered. He understood how difficult it was to get Whitebeard to abandon his family, but it was truly a foolish decision that would cause enormous casualties for everyone involved.

Therefore, he had to stop Whitebeard's actions.

"Goo la la la!"

"Red-haired brat, are you starting to teach me how to do things now?!"

"When I was making a name for myself on the high seas, you were still wearing open-crotch pants!" The white-bearded man laughed, his laughter echoing through the air and causing the sea to ripple.

hum!

A powerful aura was instantly unleashed.
