One Piece: I'll copy Luffy at Marineford and save Ace!

This put them in a particularly passive position, making them especially vulnerable to surprise attacks from the navy during their escape.

This resulted in the Whitebeard Pirates' retreat falling into another predicament in that short period of time.

Seeing this scene, Squard resolutely came up with an idea.

He was going to pilot the Moby Dick to the front line, cover the retreat of all the Whitebeard Pirates, and risk his life to ensure their safe escape!

Upon seeing this, Su Mu shook his head repeatedly. As expected of the captain of Whitebeard's pirate crew, he certainly didn't keep idle people around.

The situation on the ground is now very clear: simply retreating is not an option for the Whitebeard Pirates. They need someone to stay behind and cover their retreat in order to make a safe escape from here.

Otherwise, they will only increase casualties time and time again during their escape.

"Alright, if someone covers the rear, then I should run too."

Su Mu patted his sleeves and looked back in Luffy's direction.

"If we don't run now, we'll never have another chance to run."

He needs to leave with Ace and Luffy.

Otherwise, he was really afraid that Ace would do something foolish and repeat the same mistake.

In the original work, Ace lost his life because he was provoked by Akainu's talk-no-jutsu and turned around to fight back.

Thinking it over, Su Mu quickly followed. Now, as long as he protected the two of them, it wouldn't matter how impulsive Ace was, right?

After all, who could kill Ace under the command of someone as strong as him?

Moreover, Ace was accompanied by Jinbe and Ivankov, both of whom were powerful figures.

This time, we must ensure that everything goes perfectly!

They were just waiting for that giant ship to rush behind them and cover their retreat.

Just as Su Mu was about to charge forward, the giant ship suddenly stopped.

Su Mu's super strong Observation Haki naturally detected this scene, and he was immediately stunned, stopping in his tracks.

He turned his head and looked down at the giant ship.

A pair of giant hands firmly held the massive ship, which was moving at full speed, in place.

A figure blocked the giant ship's path.

Su Mu could even feel that the gears of the Moby Dick were stuck and unable to move because of those giant hands.

who is it?

Su Mu squinted, gazing at the agile and majestic figure of the giant ship.

It was none other than Whitebeard, the world's strongest man who had been fighting alone on the battlefield from the moment he arrived, against a group of elite Marine Admirals, a few Shichibukai, and Akainu!

At this moment, Whitebeard also single-handedly blocked the Moby Dick, which originally seemed resolute and unstoppable.

Blood dripped from the corner of his mouth onto the floor, indicating that the continuous fighting had taken a heavy toll on him.

Even though Su Mu's arrival allowed Ace to be rescued ahead of time, Whitebeard's body was still in such a severely degenerated state.

Due to his illness, this might truly be his last bit of strength.

Su Mu wasn't sure either, but perhaps Whitebeard really was like Luffy, using that amazing perseverance to fight until the very last moment.

"Dad, what are you doing? Go and treat your injuries! Let me cover your retreat! You all need to get back!"

"The Navy... I'll take care of the Navy!"

When Squard saw that Whitebeard had stopped the ship, he became somewhat anxious.

"Stop the navy..."

"Don't be so arrogant!!"

Whitebeard suddenly roared, his gaze exceptionally cold.

“Squard, your sword strike wasn’t enough to threaten my life, but do you know that as captain, I entrusted you with covering my retreat…”

"To have an elderly person bury their child is such an unfilial act!"

Whitebeard's voice remained as penetrating as ever, reaching not only Squard but everyone else's ears.

Marco, Jozu, and all the division commanders looked towards Whitebeard upon hearing this voice.

"Dad..."

“Squard, if you still consider me your father, then go back to the New World.”

Whitebeard murmured something to himself, then released his hand from the giant ship and gently patted the hull.

It seemed as if he was saying goodbye to something.

what is it then?

Perhaps it's his own crew, perhaps it's his entire seafaring life, or perhaps it's the last flame of that old era...

Say goodbye.

Whitebeard turned around and slowly stepped forward, his back still displaying the same imposing and domineering presence.

However, in Su Mu's view, his back view always had a sense of desolation, like a strong person stepping into the end.

"This……"

"Dad! What are you doing? We need to retreat!"

Everyone who witnessed this scene stopped and stared in disbelief.

Watching Whitebeard resolutely walk in the opposite direction from the others, every pirate felt their hearts being torn apart.

Whitebeard's steps slowly came to a stop; at this moment, he stood behind all the pirates.

With a focused gaze, he calmly delivered a powerful punch to the pursuing navy.

It seems he's trying to show the navy that, as captain, he still has the strength!

He threw a punch and murmured something, his voice not loud, but still loud enough to reach all the crew members below the ship.

"My lords, I..."

Listen up, Whitebeard Pirates!

"Now, I will give the final captain's order!"

Upon hearing this, everyone was stunned, and Su Mu couldn't help but grit his teeth.

The white-bearded figure and the authoritative voice were so resolute, as if he had made this decision from the very beginning.

"Wait... the last captain's order..."

Not far away, Ace, who was running, stopped. Hearing this, he couldn't help but take a deep breath and turn to look at Whitebeard.

"Dad..."

Whitebeard had already raised his fist, veins bulging from his thick arm.

For some unknown reason, the Whitebeard Pirates' flag aboard the Moby Dick slowly fell to the floor...

"Everyone must survive and return safely to the new world!!"

"me……"

"I am a remnant of the old era... In this new era, there is no vessel capable of carrying me!!"

"Wow—"

Upon hearing these words, Su Mu felt his blood boil!

The command exploded in his ears like a thunderclap!

There was a time when, upon hearing Whitebeard's words on television, he felt an overwhelming surge of excitement! Every time, he couldn't help but stand up in awe of Whitebeard's actions.

Now, being there in person, the shock that Whitebeard's shout had on Su Mu far surpassed that of the shout on television!

At this moment, Su Mu's eyes widened and his heart pounded wildly—this was the feeling of a sincere One Piece fan.

He felt that the visual impact was unprecedented!

"My children, let's return to the new world..."

"Let's set sail!!"

Those shocking words pierced through the entire Marineford, and as the words fell, Whitebeard's fist also slammed down!

This time, unlike the previous punches, this is the final flame of a powerful warrior!

The last glimpse of the brilliance of the old era!

That was the power he had poured into his entire life, and now, along with that final captain's command, it instantly resounded throughout the entire Marineford battlefield!

In an instant, Marineford was plunged into an unprecedented upheaval!

The naval headquarters, with its thick walls and ramparts, suddenly developed cracks.

The crack, wider than a person, now appeared from the word "Navy".

Every single naval building was destroyed!

Even more terrifyingly, this force rose from the floor and split Marineford in two!
