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

A massive rift spanning an entire "era" separated Whitebeard from the pirate crew behind him.

It's unclear whether this rift divides the navy and pirates, or the old era and the new era.

In short, it marked the final chapter in Whitebeard's seafaring career.

"Dad!!"

The pirates outside the rift, watching Whitebeard's retreating figure, couldn't help but shout.

Su Mu gritted his teeth and frowned, finding it hard to accept this scene.

Seeing the white beard and his charismatic personality, it was hard for Su Mu not to be attracted to him.

He finally understood why Ace, an ambitious man, was willing to follow Whitebeard.

"Don't look back...times will change..."

After throwing that punch, Whitebeard tried to catch his breath and murmured these words.

Sengoku and Garp also looked somber upon seeing this scene. In a way, they, like Whitebeard, belonged to that old era.

Perhaps, after this war, everything will be different.

It's possible that the old era will truly pass away, and the next era will change hands.

Not far away, Aston, who was beside Luffy, stood still, his feet twitching as he headed towards Whitebeard's direction.

It seems they are unwilling to leave.

Seeing this, Luffy quickly tried to pull Ace back: "Ace, this is my last act of kindness as a man!"

"It's the captain's order! Let's go!"

"I know!"

Ace suddenly interrupted Luffy, and no one could see what his expression was at that moment.

His gaze fell on the white-bearded man, and it seemed as if the white-bearded man saw him out of the corner of his eye.

"thump."

With a thud, Ace knelt down.

He knelt down in the direction of the white beard, kowtowed, and his whole body trembled!

"Father... I am extremely grateful!"

At that moment, Whitebeard seemed to have noticed Ace as well, thanks to his powerful Observation Haki.

He cleared his throat: "Ace..."

At that moment, it was as if there were no more cannon fire, no more smoke, no more shouts on the battlefield, and only the two of them remained.

In their own world, Whitebeard asked softly.

"Ace, I have a question for you."

"Am I a competent father?"

"Wow—"

Whitebeard's words were like a sharp thorn, deeply touching Ace's heart.

Ace's body trembled even more than before.

The tears in his eyes flowed uncontrollably, as if a valve had been turned on.

His voice was hoarse, choked with sobs, and filled with sorrow; he seemed to be roaring with all his might:

"Of course!!"

"Dad!!"

……

That sound was heard by everyone; it was no longer just between two people. Su Mu heard it, and all the pirates and marines heard it.

The words "Dad" echoed across the noisy battlefield.

Although few in number, they were enough to stir people's hearts.

The white-bearded man smiled slightly, his eyes filled with satisfaction and contentment.

"That's it..."

"I can rest assured that."

"Alright, Ace, let's go home..."

It's just a pity that my father is no longer with us...

Su Mu's eyes welled up with tears, and he couldn't help but wipe them away. He never imagined that he would shed tears on such a thrilling battlefield.

The excitement and joy of having just toyed with Sengoku and copied Garp have vanished.

At this moment, looking at the white-bearded figure's back, I always feel a sense of loss.

Whitebeard wielded his naginata, facing the entire navy alone:

"A long life has come to an end."

"Navy, your opponent is me!"

Sengoku, Garp, Akainu, Aokiji, Kizaru and other top fighters gritted their teeth upon seeing Whitebeard alone and hearing his words.

Akainu gave a disdainful smile:

"A remnant of the old era? That's certainly a fitting description of a loser from the old era."

"But in your current state, you think you can stop an entire navy? That's laughable!"

"They keep calling me 'Old Man,' Whitebeard. It's time to end your childish game!"

"I don't care if others can escape, but I will definitely eliminate Fire Fist Ace and Straw Hat Luffy with my own hands!"

"Really? If you can do it, then give it a try!"

Whitebeard roared fiercely, pointing his naginata at Akainu, his eyes sharp and piercing!

"Can you get through, Sakazuki!"

Chapter 19: With Whitebeard

"Why does a dying person talk so much?"

Akainu sneered, lava covering his body again. He glanced at Aokiji and Kizaru beside him and muttered something.

"Straw Hat Luffy, Fire Fist Ace, and that unknown brat, I'll take care of those three."

"You guys can hold off Whitebeard or even kill him, huh, no problem, right!"

Upon hearing this, both Aokiji and Kizaru waved their hands, looking displeased. As fellow admirals, why should they listen to you?

But then the two saw Sengoku nod slightly to the side, and he also remained silent, tacitly agreeing to the matter.

Immediately, the bodies of the three generals began to transform into elements.

As his figure flashed, Akainu also leaped up and charged straight towards the other side of the rift.

Whitebeard's eyes narrowed, and he swung his naginata at Akainu, who completely disregarded him.

Just as the Tremor-Tremor Fruit was about to activate, a yellow flash and ice shards appeared simultaneously in front of him!

"boom!!"

In an instant, the naginata was blocked by Aokiji's ice, and Kizaru's figure appeared beneath Whitebeard.

Kizaru unleashed a lightning-fast Flash Kick, striking Whitebeard directly in the body.

"Zi!!"

A thin laser beam pierced straight through Whitebeard's body.

In the brief moment that the attack was blocked, Akainu had already leaped over the rift and headed straight for Ace and Luffy. Seeing this, Whitebeard gritted his teeth in resentment.

Sure enough, I'm getting old.

Being blocked by the two admirals, it was indeed impossible to stop Akainu from walking past him.

"cough!"

With a dry cough, the white-bearded man's face darkened as he looked at the two generals beside him, and a burst of intense power suddenly erupted from his body.

With a swing of the naginata and the power of the Tremor-Tremor Fruit, Aokiji and Kizaru were suddenly sent flying!

He glanced back at Akainu, slightly out of breath, hoping that his sons behind him could go back together and protect Ace!

"Men, does my word no longer carry?!"

Whitebeard uttered a low, deep voice, his gaze turning serious as he looked at the group of marines before him, and the two admirals who were ready to strike again at any moment.

"Go back, go back to the new world!"

"Dad!"

Many pirates who witnessed this scene were unwilling to accept the fact that Whitebeard had covered their retreat.
